HID Bluetooth Pairing number not showing - Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus

I just purchased a bluetooth keyboard and my Tab 7+ will not pair with it!
The tab sees the keyboard and when I hit "pair with this device" it appears they are communicating (the light on the keyboard stays lit). Then after about 30 seconds the Tab comes back with the message "There was a problem pairing with Bluetooth Keyboard".
When I pair this keyboard with my Samsung Charge phone it asks me to type in a PIN on the keyboard which I do and then it pairs just fine.
I think the Tab is also asking for a PIN since I've tried just entering 000000 on the keyboard and then it rejects the pairing right away. The Tab just isn't showing what PIN it wants me to type.
Is there a standard set of PINS that are used for bluetooth pairing? Any suggestions?
Your help is appreciated!

Good grief!
I'm chalking this one up to end of day brain dead.....the invisible PIN is of course 0000
Thanks for the read and hope this helps someone else in the future.

sennheiser vmx100 problem

i'm trying to pair the headset with the diamond.
after i entered the pin code (0000) i get an error message: "your device did not connect with VMX 100. the connection failed or the passcode is incorrect".
i tried several times but nothing.
with another phone (nokia 6210) it works OK.

OK, I managed to suss this out, it was purely by accident as this it totally counter-intuituve.
When you go to pair it, the phone finds it and asks for the password, DON'T enter one, just hit the NEXT button. Two things will happen, first it will actually go "Ping" and a screen will come up telling you the headset wants to connect and asking for your password, which you then enter and it pairs AND second, it also pops up the nasty message about not pairing but by this stage it has already paired so it is no issue.
bit of a flaky implementation, but once paired it works OK.
Nice find

Beautiful catch!! I had the same problem with a Touch Cruise, and these instructions worked like a charm.
Thanks.
i have the same problem, i own a HTC Touch Pro and i cant pair the headset.
i get too nasty messages and no paired device
Dear sir,
1. I have purchased a VMx 100 sennheiser bluetooth headset. wish to pair it with my Dell streak. It pairs up well. But when call comes, there is no transfer of audio. Will anyone can help me in solving this?
2. VMX 100 manual says that if user wishes to use same bluetooth headset with second device (in my case notebook), it shud be paired manually. Dont know how to do?
because my notebook doesnt recognize VMX 100 signal at all.
how to go about?
thanks

Bluetooth Pairing a Rocketfish Keyboard and Mouse

Hey guys, I've been attempting to pair a Rocketfish Keyboard and Mouse. It's proving to be incredibly annoying. When I set the keyboard or mouse to discoverable and attempt to pair it with my touch pro (NFSrom), it gives me the option of entering a passkey or skipping if the device does not require it. Whether I skip or use a passkey (I've tried 0000 and 1111) it says the device is connected. However when I look at the bluetooth list, the device is listed as disconnected. When I click on the device and try to connect, my phone says my Keyboard/Mouse (whichever I am attempting) is attempting to connect to the phone. It requires a passcode, which I input as 0000. The phone then subsequently hangs.
There is no documentation or literature that I am able to find online regarding a default passkey for my rocketfish bluetooth keyboard/mouse set, including in the manual.
Does anyone have any idea how to pair these devices with my phone or what I am doing wrong? I'd prefer not to buy a new keyboard/mouse unless I absolutely need to.
Pairing Rocketfish
I'm happy to report that it does pair with at least a Atrix model android phone. I have the aluminum version Model: RF-ABTKB and it works nicely!
The trick is that you must pair it first 0000 then on the keyboard press 0000 <enter>
took me a few times to try but works great
I've also attached a Bluetooth Razer Orochi mouse to it successfully.
I'm out to look for a map for the keys but menu button (control/f1) and the volume keys are working!.. so pleased.
I was going to hack the HDMI port but now I need a stand and it's a little tricky with my Bell version of the atrix.
Anyway. Good luck!

Disappearing Bluetooth Settings?

Is this happening to anyone else? I changed the device name and added a couple of paired devices. Everything works great for a while. Then if I turn Bluetooth off, the settings revert to stock. When I reboot the phone, my settings reappear. Strange.
With Bluetooth off, my paired devices don't appear in Bluetooth Settings. When I turn Bluetooth back on, they are there, just as I had paired them. I guess that's the way it's supposed to work? I never looked at the settings with Bluetooth off, only when it was on, with my former phone, so I don't know if it's different for the G2x or not.
I want to just chime in and say I cant even pair it with my car (2011 Subaru) I go through the setup and when it gets ready to ask for the PIN, the phone says 'Unable to pair, incorrect PIN.' without me even getting a chance to enter it...maybe the BT has some quirks? (My N1 BT was flawless, and this is by no means a deal killer for me)

Mine does the same thing (2011 Infiniti) but after the fail, a pop-up appears on the phone asking me for the PIN and then it pairs.
Resurrecting an old thread, my bluetooth settings all vanished yesterday, and turning off and on the bluetooth power did not restore them. It took a reboot. First time that's happened to me since I've had the phone (April 20).
This seems to be a pattern: things degrade over time. Either the GPS won't get a fix, or Wi-Fi Calling won't connect, or the browser gets very slow, or now the bluetooth settings vanish, and a reboot makes things work right again. This smells a lot like a heap management bug to me -- corruption, or fragmentation, or leak. I hope things are better after the Gingerbread/bug-fix update that's supposedly coming soon.

+1 Definitely some poor memory management in the stock kernel is to blame for this.
Try this for a bluetooth fix.. worth a shot...

I am also having an odd BT issue. The phone pairs just fine with my 2009 Infiniti, most of the time. What i have found is that the phone decides to occassionally change its bluetooth address. After a reboot, it goes back to the original BT address that was originally paired with the car. This is kind of weird, no? Why would the phone change its BT addresss on its own?
I've seen this happen to me too. The address is part of firmware so its possible to change it just not sure why it is.

Fix(es) for Bluetooth dropping and re-pairing on Subaru and Gingerbread question
Had bluetooth settings vanish from my Subaru using lg g2x, but a bit of the history on this might add something to this discussion.
My G2x would not connect with the Subaru. Unlike another android phone the salesman had, no keyboard screen popped up so that the 1234 code could be entered. Called LG, TMobile, no help at all. LG rep was particularly hostile about this, not even seeming to understand/care about what I was explaining. Contacted Subaru corporate who suggested that the G2x had a preset 0000 code that could not be changed, so I needed to change the code on the Subaru bluetooth with another android phone, as described on the last few pages of the bluetooth section of the Subaru manual. So, paired another Android phone using 1234, unpaired that phone, and reset code to 0000 with that phone. G2x now paired rather easily.
Then, phone wouldn't even recognize Subaru bluetooth; 2 days later, spontaneously returned. Several weeks later, again vanished and wouldn't come back. Paired another phone, deleted my phone, repaired my phone, ok for now. The code remained 0000 throughout the process.
Next time this happens, I will delete my phone from the Subaru and go through the pairing process again to see what happens.
I will try the reboot the next time this returns. I appreciate this potential fix. Will alos try the repair program. My phone is not rooted.
In the meantime, can anyone tell me if a Gingerbread install will allow a keyboard to pop up so that different devices using 1234 or 0000 can be paired, and if the phone can handle pairings with 2 or more devices having different codes? Why doesn't a keyboard pop-up to allow this as it does on other Android phones?

The LG Gingerbread release did nothing to the bluetooth drivers that are in the Froyo release. Whatever you get on Froyo (including frequent disconnects) will remain in Gingerbread.
I do not have a Subaru, but with my Land Rover if I try to pair the G2x with the car by having the phone discover the car, I do not get a keyboard popup on the phone.
However, if I have the car discover the phone the car gives me the code to enter and the G2x will give me a popup screen on which to enter the code.
The above has been my experience with using either froyo roms or gb roms.
Reconnecting Subaru bluetooth
Previously described my problems and fix for Subaru bluetooth and G2x. Attempts to fix latest disconnect included hard reboot which did not work.
So, I deleted my phone and reconnected like it was a new phone.
I discovered that the keyboard for entry of the 0000 password I had previously changed my Subaru to now popped up for the first time and I entered 0000. I was told by a bluetooth "pro" that there are two distinct conditions 1) pairing the phone to the car and 2) pairing the car to the phone. When the phone pairs to the car, the android password keyboard pops up. When the car is paired to the phone, it doesn't and it apparently assumes the default passwords are the same; if they aren't, no pairing.
This seems correct to me because of the many reports/complaints I've read about the password keyboard not showing up and its sudden appearance on mine. I guess if you can get the sequence right for pairing the phone to the car (rather than pairing the car to the phone) the android password keyboard will pop up and a 1234 password could be successfully used for vehicles that seem unable to connect because of G2x's default 0000 password.
Useful info for some?

[Q] Using Apple or other Bluetooth keyboards?

I tried to pair the touchpad with my Apple Bluetooth keyboard and it could not find any Bluetooth keyboards. Does is work with any non-HP keyboards? Should I be worried my bluetooth radio is broken (needing warranty)? Do I need to buy the HP keyboard?
Thanks
I updated to the latest web os 3.0.2 and still have this issue. Any ideas?

I tried as well - no luck.
It sees my Apple BT keyboard.
Asks for Passkey. I don't think I have one - did you get that far?
nm, i got it to successfully pair. Basically when it asks for the Passkey you have the enter 8 digits...
and then it'll spin - then you enter that on the keyboard and press Enter and for me it worked.
With the Apple compact aluminum BT keyboard. it's kind of delayed so maybe I need to charge my batteries on the kb.
it's definitely working though.

Success with Logitech MX5000
Last night I successfully paired my 32GB Touchpad with a 6 year old Logitech MX5000 keyboard. It was nice to have a full sized keyboard when I had alot of typing to do.
i'm interested in this due to the release of that upcomming thinkpad keyboard that will go with the thinkpad tablet. Was planning on buying one but seeing as I now have a tablet which works perfectly fine for what I will be doing (writing scouting reports) I may just see about the keyboard.
I was trying to get my wii mote to pair but it would not. From what I understand, the bluetooth stack in the touchpad is extremely limited.
I got it to work with the Verbatim folding portable BT keyboard.
If anyone is looking for a mini bluetooth keyboard that works I can confirm that this one works great http://www.dealextreme.com/p/mini-bluetooth-keyboard-for-android-wince-nokia-symbian-s60-cellphones-black-37863 And its only $18.70, the placement of a few of the symbols like the arrow keys take a while to get use to, but it works great and you can thumb type quite easily on it.
Edit: I found what looks like the same one on ebay for $11.88, not sure if you can post links to ebay here so just search "Ultra Slim Mini Bluetooth Keyboard For PC PS3 PDA" and you will find it.
I just got my Touchpad to pair with my old, folding Dell Axim keyboard. Works pretty well too.
The trick was a 4 digit code entered on both the Touchpad and the keyboard.

Does anyone know if a bluetooth case keyboard like thishttp://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-Ipad-Leather-Case-And-Bluetooth-Keyboard-/300570582168?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item45fb671c98#ht_4233wt_1139 will work? Or if anything can anyone provide feedback of a keyboard/case similar to this which worked on their touchpad? Thanks

Which is??...i mean touchpads 4 digit BT code...
I scooped up an Adesso BT keyboard/case intended for an IPad at Compusa the other day, and was able to successfully pair. I've posted my method in another thread but will post it again in here because I first came in here seeking the way and didn't find it .

The Bluetooth Keyboard. - In order to pair with this thing, you must
- turn on bluetooth on Keyb and touchpad
- search for keyboards in bluetooth prefs
- put in a key on the touchpad screen
I used `12345678"
- then type the same on the keyboard (NOTE* You will not see any prompts on the screen, just type "12345678" and press enter. ) This was how I got it to sync and have been able to repeat it . SYNC
I was able to pair mine with a Motorola Bluetooth Keyboard (came with my old Atrix), it asked for a 4 digit passkey, I entered 0000 and it let me thorough.
none of the function keys work but all the generic keys do so will do for now.
I had no problem pairing with my Zaggmate and the bonus is that the iPad is the same size so I can dock it for typing and put them together for transport
I paired my Apple Bluetooth keyboard with the Touchpad and it works great. I wish the volume keys and all that stuff would work too, but I guess just being able to type fast is good enough. So here were the steps I took to pair it
1. While keyboard is off, hold power button until it goes into pairing mode (the light starts blinking a bit).
2. On Touchpad, search for wireless keyboards and select "Apple Wireless Keyboard".
3. On Touchpad type in any password you want (I used a 4 number pin).
4. Right after you click OK on the Touchpad, type the same password in on the keyboard and click the enter key after. After this, the keyboard should be paired DDDD
I just bough a Bluetooth keyboard for iPad, its a folding leather protective case. It works great. To get it to pair just enter 12345678 on the password and hit enter. If that doesn't work also hit 12345678 on the keyboard and enter. Its just a bummer that the arrow keys do not allow you to scroll down web pages, but great for taking notes or composing emails!

[Q] Bluetooth Pairing to Car Audio

Has anybody else had trouble getting the Z3 to pair with your car's head unit? I have an Alpine CD player with bluetooth which paired fine with my Galaxy S4 but won't connect to the Z3. It fails because of an incorrect pin. However, the phone never prompts me to enter a pin. I've read that this is a known issue with Sony devices where they hard code the pin in as 0000 so if the device you're trying to pair with has it set to 1234 for example it will just fail. I've tried several suggestions such as trying to share a contact to the cd player via bluetooth to force the pairing as well as a couple of apps that try to pair with the device but they all seem to use the system's bluetooth pairing app.
Anybody else having this problem or know of a workaround/solution?
Thanks
Iam not sure if my situation is quiet the same but My bluetooth works fine when transferring pictures but recently tried to play music through bluetooth and although both devices paired up , They dont stay connected? It connects and then disconnects within a second or two!!
I found the solution to my issue in case it helps anybody else. With Alpine (perhaps others) you can only have 3 devices paired at once. My old phones were still stored so I had to clear them. So really it was just a case of terrible error messages. The head unit just said "Failed" when it didn't connect and the phone said incorrect password or pin so neither were helpful.
