[Q] Bluetooth Issues - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an TF101 running 4.0.3 stock rom, rooted with ViperMOD.
I have a bluetooth speaker, HMDX Audio HX-P230.
It won't pair with my device.
My tablet will see the speaker, but when I try to pair them it gives me an error: cannot communicate with [bluetooth ID].
Now, I know the bluetooth in my tablet works because I use a PS3 control via bluetooth.
I tried resetting my tablet, and disabling and reenabling the bluetooth.
I made ABSOLUTELY sure Sixaxis Controller was not running or started or active in any way.
I know the speakers work because they will pair with my phone.
So why won't they work together?!?!?!?

I'm going to assume that you have tried the pass code of 0000 when pairing the 2 devices. While they are SUPPOSED to work with "all tablets," the majority of the time the manufacturers think ONLY of a tablet as an iPad, instead of the many Android variants out there. Some tablets in the settings you HAVE to enable audio over bluetooth, while others do it automatically.
Also I've found often times when trying to pair devices the one that you want to pair with i/e your speaker, turn it off wait 15 seconds, turn it back on and make sure that the lights are flashing showing it is searching for a host. Then under the tablet settings have the tablet search for the device, and try to pair with it. It will either do 1 of 3 things. Auto pair without prompting for the pass code, or it will put the pairing on hold until you input the pass code, in this case 0000, or it will fail.
You might have to go into your phone and "forget" the pairing connection with the speaker for it to be able to be found and used by another device.

Bluetooth auto pair app?

Is there an apps that auto enforce pair on detect?
It seem my jabra 500 on my car hardly ever auto pair up as soon i enter range.
Seems like an odd question... pairing and connecting are two seperate things... once paired, you don't have to pair again, then connection will happen automatically when you're in range... I would think about replacing your jabra, as it seems to me that it doesn't work...
that, or re-flash your x10, as it's probably just not working properly.
Android seems hopeless and connecting automatically after pairing. Never got it to do it, not with any device of any sort.

[Q] Bluetooth Question

So I am running Vegan 5.1(Which I love), and I just got a new Bluetooth headset which I tried to connect to my tablet so i can play music to my headset during class, however to connect you need to set up with a "0000" pin, which my tablet never asks for. It just says "paired, not connected" and will never connect cause it cant without sending the security pin, is there a way to enable this in vegan 5.1?
Well it depends on the bluetooth you bought because some don't need the pairing code if your in pairing mode hopefully it is A2DP compatible because that's the only way to get music to the headset
My motorola s9 headset said paired but not connected then I long pressed it and I got some other options including connect. The next time it paired automatically but my tab is crashing (and it did) so the very next time after that I had to actually type the pair key 0000 after the long press.
I need to wipe and reinstall everything but I am just waiting till it is totally unusable.

I've done long press and i only have 3 options: Connect, Unpair, Options. Options just has Connect and use device for audio options, but neither let teh device connect nor give the option to enter the pin. Any ideas?
I am running vegan mod, so when you click connect it doesn't? That seems odd... removed dumb question.
I realize this thread is a couple of weeks old but I am having a similar problem and wondered if you ever figured it out.
I am able to connect to my headset and use it to listen. However I have a Creative D100 bluetooth speaker that won't work. It will connect but as soon as I close settings and then start playing music or videos it drops the connection.

or you can use supermono pro
it sends any sound through bluetooth.
i use it for my music and pandora on my phone.
unfortunely my headset wont connect either. what i did to get it to connect is this:
make discoverable
unpair
long press on device and press connect and pair
i can get the pin this way but mine still wont connect. just paired ;(
It is an A2DP speaker. Works great with my Iphone but would love to be able to use it with my gtab for watching Netflix and Hulu through Playon.
It connects fine the connection indicator on the speaker even comes on but as soon as I try to play any type of media the connection drops.
Figured it out. It works fine if I am connected via wifi. If I'm tethered to my phones ad hoc network The bluetooth speaker drops the connection. Guess bluetooth doesn't like ad hoc networks

[Q] Issue with bluetooth earpiece Latest Vegan Tab flash

Getting a "Paired but not connected" issue with my bluetooth ear-piece and I've tried everything to get it to connect, even force closing wiping all the data from the bluetooth application and rebooting several times. I've only had this problem since switching from cyanogen mod to vegan tab (Love vegan tab btw) does anyone know some fixes or solutions?
Thanks in advance :3
come on :\ doesnt even one person have a suggestion?
I was able to pair my phone with the Vegan Beta 5.1 gTablet without issue...
I just bought a new headset and will try it and let you know...
Working fine for me as well but when I disconnect I have to re-boot to get audio over speakers on the GTAB
hmmm, thats really odd, maybe my headset itsself is being stupid. Thanks for the feedback guys.

I've found if you plug and unplug a regular wired headset into the headset jack, thst usually fixes the audio be muted on internal speakers.
bluetooth help
I am having the same problem. Tried 2 different headsets, netbook, and my moto droid - but everything says "paired but not connected". nothing works! please help
may be a direction for a fix; DEVs could you clarify for us
I found this in a post today by enigma0456:
More research finally revealed something. BlueGPS4droid at sourceforge not the market. So, the external gps was "paired but not connected" until there was an application (bluegps) to "connect" to. Once that was installed I turned on the bluetooth and it immediately saw the hollux remote gps receiver. Tested it with Maps and it worked beautifully. So theories:
1. If there isn't an app waiting to use the bluetooth device it will pair but not connect until something asks for it.
now I realize this has to deal with gps but as i understand all phone apks have been removed that can be and not lose functionality in order to save battery life in Vegan 5.1 so if the above quote is right then there is no app (phone.apk etc.) to ask for the use of the ear piece and thus the paired but not connected issue.
now some people have mentioned not having issue getting their BT headset to work and maybe this is because the headset offers another use in their programing like they are designed to work like headphones or something and then there would be and app to ask for them and so they connect
the ones that do not work on the other hand like mine are only designed for phone audio; ever notice that on your Droid cell that your headset will say connected to phone audio, well in our case if the phone.apk/s are not there then there is nothing asking to connect to it.
DEVs are there any ideas to get functionality back even it that means adding back the phone.apks--and is that possible to do with our re-flashing a rom like side installing it or an update.zip
Thanks

There is an app on the market, called "headset toggle widget" and that will do the trick and unmute your speakers
Possible workaround...
Don't know if this will help but, after I paired my BT headset with GTAB, I then paired it with another device (my phone) after which GTAB started giving me the paired but not connected message when I tried to connect back to the GTAB. What worked? Well, now before I select the headset device in GTAB's bluetooth device menu, I put the headset itself back into pairing mode. THEN, I select it in GTAB's bluetooth device menu and voilĂ , it connects. Downside, I have to put the headset into pairing mode everytime I want to connect it to GTAB. (Haven't bothered trying to unpair the headset with my phone yet to see if it makes a difference.) Hope it works at least as temp fix for ya.

Can't connect to bluetooth headset..

Hi all,
I'm on stock, unrooted ICS on my TF101 and I'm having trouble pairing bluetooth headsets.
I've tried two different headsets and I'm specifically trying a Motorola S305 right now.
What happens is that it appears to pair for a second (moves from Available Devices to Paired Devices), but then moves right back to Available devices.
I've tried making my TF101 visible at the time of pairing and that didn't seem to help.
Anyone have any info on how to get around this?
I was able to pair a PS3 controller, but did that by plugging it directly into the tablet and it paired that way.
Thanks for any info.

Bluetooth headset not pairing

I have a new GN 10.1 and I'm trying to pair my Bluetooth headset to it.
In the settings | Bluetooth | Available devices,, the headset shows. But when I tap it, it says "Pairing rejected by [device]".
It does not prompt for the pairing code, but the headset uses the default of 0000, so maybe that's why.
The headset pairs fine with my desktop and with my iPod touch.
Any suggestions on how to get this working?

Check the users manual for your headset. It may have a limit on how many devices it can pair with. If so and if it's still paired to your desktop and your iPod, you may need to de-pair with one of those devices before it can pair with the note. What is the specific brand and model of your headset?

Yeah, that was the first thing I thought of. I turned off the Bluetooth on my iPod and desktop to be certain there was no way it was pairing to either. I also turned off and on the headset, though I have not tried resetting the GN, yet.
