Anyone else having issues with their SGN 10.1 and bluetooth keyboards. I had been using an Adesso BT keyboard with my iPad for a long time and it worked great. Switch to the SGN 10.1 and now I'm having issues where it'll behave like a key is stuck and go bonkers. Usually I have to power off the keyboard to get it to stop. Power back up and connect it and it's completely random how far I'll get before it goes bonkers again.
So, I thought I'd give another keyboard a try to see if it was something about the keyboard. Not so much. I picked up a brand new logitech BT keyboard (with solar recharging) and I'm having the exact same problem. WTF is up with the BT stack on this thing? Mouse works fine, Jaybird BT headphones are flawless, WiiMote and SixAxis controllers, also good. Simple BT keyboard, unusable because of this issue.
I have the latest OTA update and hope it's just a software issue that will be solved with JB which supposedly swaps out the BT stack, but God only knows when Samsung is going to get that pushed out for US owners of the 8013.
Anyone know what voodoo is required to get a BT keyboard to work reliably with the current firmware.
I'll also put it out there that I have SwifKey installed and have tried the BT keyboard in every combination of SwitfKey active, not active, enabled, disabled, even uninstalled... Same results.
Thx.

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 voilà, 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.
With the latest Transformer firmware I have paired and connected an Apple Wireless keyboard. But typing doesn't do anything.
It's frustrating as it shows up as "Connected to input device".
Anyone else have any luck?

Have you installed a keyboard app?
I have a little mini bluetooth keyboard (no name chinese) which I usually use with my Galaxy Tab. Just tried it on my Transformer, and it works perfectly.
Regards,
Dave
I've got a think outside BT keyboard and it works perfectly with the Transformer...
Interesting it's working for you guys. Did you have to install anything? Or change any HC settings?
Maybe it's something to do with the Apple keyboard hardware.
I don't know why but I've always had trouble with Apple stuff that i've tried to connect to other non apple devices via bluetooth. Apple to apple bluetooth is always fine though which is strange. I don't know much about bluetooth but maybe apple products use a non-standard profile or something.
My Apple keyboard did not work either when pairing. I got another bluetooth keyboard out, and that worked correctly.
Looks like I need to get a new one.... Are there any Bluetooth keyboards with android keys like the search and menu keys?

Xoom Keyboard is only one I know available that is made with android keys. I think acer is coming out with one for Iconia and I foresee many 3rd party companies making one in near future.
I can confirm that the Apple Wireless key get paired, reckognized but...not working

I have this same problem, but I didn't know a keyboard app was required. Any suggestions on a good app?
i too am in a similar situation
Purchased the ZAGG bluetooth keyboard. It pairs fine and works with my iPad, and even my Galaxy Nexus. However on my Eee Pad Transformer, it pairs, but can't use it.
As the subject states, I successfully connected my BT mouse and keyboard to the GT 7+. However, I noticed that the mouse movement stutters heavily and keyboard press lag. For example:
1). WITHOUT running any applications (I use Samsung RAM Manager to kill everything), I move the mouse from STOP and there was about 0.5 - 1 seconds before the GT7+ register the movement and move the mouse. When I stop moving the mouse and then move it again, the same thing happened.
2). When I type in, say browser (Dolphin, built-in, doesn't matter), there was the same delay before what I type show up on the screen.
I never have this problem with the ASUS TF. Is this GT7+ issue?
Those who uses BT mouse and keyboard, can you confirm?
Are you experiencing this problem still? What model kb & mouse? I'm thinking about buying a BT kb & mouse/touchpad to use with my Tab Plus.

I sometimes use a Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000 with my GT-P6210.
I sometimes notice some delay in the characters appearing on screen. The lag seems to happen less when I don't use the "Samsung keypad" (instead opting for the "Hacker's keyboard" app), but there are still occasional delays.
That said, this keyboard is certainly usable for me.
I haven't tried a mouse.

Yes it does. I use Amazon Basic Bluetooth Keyboard (search it in Amazon) and Logitech Bluetooth mouse (m555b model).
i am experiencing the same issues, using my FelTouch Magic touchpad as keyboard and mouse. especially the mouse issue is really annoying. ...
I can confirm this. There's a very similar thread in the 7.7 Accessories forum as well.
I've seen this issue arise when using any "input" type bluetooth device. I have both an iControlPad and a keyboard. When playing games, if I don't press a button for a few seconds, and then press one, the response is a bit delayed (more so than normal, and noticeable) - this is the issue reported in the OP. After that, pressing buttons works normally (at least until another sufficiently long pause).
However, I've also noticed that a key or button being held down, if held down for too long (I think 3+ seconds), will cause the tablet to repeat that letter (or action) multiple times for a second or two. If the same key is held down for just a few seconds (only 1 or 2), the letter or action will stop repeating immediately after I've let go of the key.
I've reported this issue to Samsung, but no response yet. This issue does not exist on my Motorola Razr Maxx (on the contrary - I'm actually amazed by the response time when using the iControlPad).
I want to mention that I was having buggy/delay issues when using a bluetooth barcode scanner in HID mode with the GT-P6210. Switching to SPP mode avoided all the delays/bugs. Perhaps you could try a mouse or keyboard which supports SPP connections.
Alright, quick update. I originally emailed their support about this issue, and they responded that I should call their support department, which I just did. It's a quick, direct line to someone who seems to know what they're talking about, which was a nice surprise!
Anyway, I reported the issues in this thread, and she seemed to understand what I was saying, and that she'd hand that on to people who could reproduce the issue. Hopefully this makes it into the next update! I did make a point to ask about ICS, but she couldn't tell me any details
Also: k_t_b, the iControlPad does have an SPP mode (in addition to a HID mode), and both modes result in the same noticeable delay. I'm not sure if that's just an issue with the device, or what. I've heard of people using Wii remotes and PS3 controllers to connect, and I wonder if they've run into these same issues...
After flashing the new ICS leak for GT-P6210 (UK), it seems that the bluetooth stutter issue has been FIXED! Keyboard and iControlPad now work flawlessly! Will update if I run i to any issues.

I have the same problem with a samsung, that there is a delay with bluetooth HID input devices, tell me if it is hardware or software failure
I picked up the Logitech bluetooth keyboard and case, apple Ipad version, for cheap last week. I'm trying to get it to work with my Inspire. I've managed to get it to pair up, although not connect. I suspect in this case I don't "connect" but instead have to install a driver that will enable me to use this keyboard with my Inspire, and then when I want to use it, I should be in a text entry situation and select the bluetooth keyboard as my "keyboard".
At any rate, so far I'm having no success with getting the keyboard to actually let me enter text onto my Inspire. Has anyone seen whether this will indeed work with Gingerbread or perhaps it only works with tablets that have Honeycomb or perhaps ICS?
I just recently bought a used Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 SM-P905V about 2months ago. Everything is fine but until now where I tried connecting a new Logitech bluetooth keyboard and a bluetooth Microsoft mouse.
Mouse Problem:
There seems to be a lag with the mouse pointer where it would freeze for half a second then it would go very fast. This happens constantly. Tried it on my laptop and the mouse works perfectly there.
Keyboard Problem:
After typing 3 words on the Note Pro, it would repeat a letter, or an input I push many times. For example, "My name is Chhhhhhhhhhhhhharlie". I tried using this keyboard on my Samsung S5 phone and my laptop and it works perfectly on those devices. I bought this tablet for school work like writing notes and typing papers so this is a disappointment.
So the problem seems to be my bluetooth on my SM-P905V, what can I do to fix the problem?
Bluetooth is integrated circuit on this model and it's used, failed bluetooth or wifi is nothing to be surprised.
Try to clear data and cache in Recovery Mode or Factory Reset.
Your mouse and keyboard are working fine with other devices so the problem is from BT connection. It's impossible to fix as many components are involved and mainboard has to be replaced.
I have one Note Pro with not working BT, it doesn't bother me as I rarely use BT for anything.

I have the same issue intermittently, and unfortunately its well documented that many others have had this issue as well.
It only seems to be an issue when you have both a keyboard and mouse connected.
its like they interfere with eachother a bit intermittently.
if you use one or the other they work fine in my experience, even using one wired and one wireless fixes the issue.
I switched to using a wired keyboard and mouse but I've also found just using the keyboard (wired or wireless) works well too as the touchscreen works pretty well for mouse input even for teamviewer, though I understand your frustration with not being able to use both easily.
