I can get my bluetooth keyboard and magic mouse to connect to my phone and tablet (both ICS) but they don't actually respond once connected. Anyone know how to go about fixing this?

Is there anything I need to do/install to get my mouse or keyboard to work on 3.1? When I plug them in, nothing happens. I've also tried plugging in my iPhone and an Xbox 360 controller, just to see if there is any response to any of them to show that the Xoom sees them.
I have a wired mouse and wireless keyboard (I figured keyboard wouldn't work). I'm trying to figure out if I may just have a bad OTG adapter.
Bluetooth keyboards work just fine.
You won't get any notifications or popups when you plug in a device, they will just start working (eg, you can just start typing with the keyboard).
Yeah I assumed they would just start working, but I wasn't sure if my wireless keyboard would work. I know when I am, for example, installing windows the keyboard works before drivers get installed, just not to the full extent.
I need help on this aswell... anyone?
I was wondering about this aswell. Doesn't it need to download drivers for the keyboard/mouse to work? Also since there's only one USB plug, would a hub work to get like a keyboard and mouse working at the same time?
And would wireless work?
Is it possible to connect the HTC Desire S and a WiFi keyboard (Logitech K800) to type w/ the keyboard instead typing w/ touch screen ?

i connected a WIFi Rii i6 keyboard to an sgs2 phone, using a otg micro-usb-usb cable, connecting the phone to the WIFI usb dongle. the phone has bluetooth and would have wifi already, but i didnt find any other way to connect it. the kayboard i believe only has wifi,not bluetooth.
There is an app called Wifi Keyboard that allows you to do that!
look for that app in Market. its free!
Has anyone else had a problem with their Bluetooth mouse losing connection with their tablet? My mouse shows paired, but when I try to connect it fails. The only way to get it to work is to un-pair and then pair it again.

Mine behaved similarly with 2 different mice until the 3.1 update. Both will connect automatically now without issue.
Thinking the Droid Charge supports the HID bluetooth profile, I purchased the Atrix keyboard; however, I cannot seem to pair it. I put the keyboard in pairing mode and then scan for Bluetooth devices. On the Charge I select the "Motorola Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard" from the menu and am given a message "Enter xxxxxx to pair with ...". This message disappears in less than a second and I'm given the error message "Unable to establish communication with ...". I never have the chance to enter the code on the keyboard ...
Any thoughts? Thanks for your help.
I believe I read somewhere that this was supposed to support the HID profile out of the box I'm not 100% sure though. You could try one of the HID drivers from the marketplace I think one is called blueinput or something similar. Post back if you get it working cause I would really like to have a wireless mini keyboard for this phone as well.

i'm not sure if this is helpful, but I paired a bluetooth mouse with my Charge, using no special drivers. I would like to know if a bluetooth keyboard would work with it though.

If you can get a mouse to work without having any special drivers/apps to support it then it at least means that the phone does support HID protocols which would mean that generic bluetooth keyboards should work. If the keyboard requires some sort of special driver that is installed after pairing it most likely won't work, though.

I should clarify and update this - the device I have is a bluetooth presentation remote/mouse. It can switch between mouse mode and presenter mode. It works for a few minutes, but then loses connection. It works fine with a computer, so I don't think there's a problem with the remote.
You can connect the Charge to BT keyboard and don't have to root..
Thanks to another member TylerMF you CAN probably pair the Atrix (also for Xoom) keyboard.

He connected his BT keyboard to an Evo successfully.
I have a Samsung CHARGE and I had the same struggle, but followed his instructions and am now connected to both the Atrix/Xoom keyboard and a Logitech bluetooth mouse.
Very nice!

So far I've managed to successfully connect a bluetooth speaker
a bluetooth keyboard.
I've also connected a bluetooth mouse, which although recognised & paired would not show a mouse cursor on the screen at all (it did on another device [htc one]). Can anyone who has a bluetooth mouse, try and connect & see if it's usable on their moto G. I'd be interested to know if it;s my mouse perhaps, or some sort of limitation on the phone. (I've successfully used this mouse before on an old Gingerbread Moto Defy+)
