BT keyboard auto connect - Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories

Hi there,
I hace a Wifi Note 8.0 with 4.2.2 on it. I got one of those BT keyboards on ebay that also doubles as a case (this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/36068589310...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649)
I connected it and it worked wonders, but when I turn it off and turn it on again, the BT connects, but the keyboard doesn´t type. I have to go to BT setting and set the BT keyboard and the method of input, or have to pair the device again to get the typing to work.
I connected it to my Note II LTE with 4.1.2 and connects and types automatically.
Anyone have experience with this?
THANKS!

Only issue I've seen is at times Bluetooth devices (especially my keyboard) refuses to pair, sometimes is listed as paired but isn't (e.g. kb shows it isn't and doesn't type), and rectified by toggling Bluetooth on/off and reconnecting. In most cases when this happens, scanning for nearby devices returns an instant none or displays a previous search result.
There has been much less occurance since the last 4.1.2 firmware (JZO54K.N5110UEEMF2)

Thanks. Will try turning on and off... could it be the update to 4.2.2?

Depends on what caused it. A regression is technically possible.

Sometimes it works flawlessly. I will restore my nandroid backup of the original 4.1.2 firmware and try using the keyboard again.
Thanks!

How well is it working after rolling it back?

Miracast between Nexus 4 and PTV3000

My PTV3000 is not arrived yet but I know some reports said the need Netgear updating firmware to connect Nexus 4.
But I just watch Youtube that demonstrate Nexus work with Nexus 4.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oqslwDNvTo
Anyone can confirm it ? I can confirm that when I receive my PTV3000 this weekend.
It works with firmware 2.15 for the ptv3000. I bought it couple days ago. Just make sure your monitor is off before plugging in your usb to the unit or you'll get a hdcp fail.

I try 2.2.2 today. My N4 can locate and connet PTV3000 very well. That is great step.

I'm confused. It updated fine. and now it responses to be device as well. my TV says "Connecting to wireless display" while showing green wifi bars and my device says its connected.. but nothing after that..
Although it made a random group named DIRECT-zj .. also while waiting for it to connect, I noticed there's a wireless network available with same name as the that group (DIRECT-zj). It says WPS available but WPS receiver didn't work. its WPA2 encrypted and I cant think of any password. I think i need to connect to that group to proceed??
How do you even update the firmware? I bought it thinking the Nexus 4 would be supported out of the box. The instructions say to use my computer but I dont have a widi adapter. Is it possible to do through USB?
EDIT: Sorry, dont mean to hijack OPs thread, made my own thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35946761#post35946761
Is there any lag with wirelessly displaying 1080p video? Does sound get routed too? Thanks.
PTV3000 Firmware Version 2.4.19 (2013.10.11.) seems to have fixed lots of issues.
http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/23928
Now it works fine with WiDi and Miracast. (I've had some issues with Miracast before.)
Tested with Nexus4, Nexus7(2013), Bay Trail Z3740, and 3rd gen i3.
Firmware Version 2.4.26 released.
Under release note, Enhancements & Bug Fixes:
- Google Nexus 4 AV skips extremely with local playback. More improvements to SQoS.
- [Google Nexus 4, skipping extremely with local playback] A new SQoS feature has been added to deal with devices that do not interleave encoded audio and video very well in poorer wifi conditions. By default this is enabled, but to disable, set SQOS_ENABLE=0 in /cavium/unsetdefaults, or uboot. Also, SQOS_MODE can be used to set the aggressiveness of the algorithm, SQOS_MODE=1 is less aggressive, while SQOS_MODE=2 will aggressively increase latency and only gradually reclaim latency. SQOS_MODE=2 is the default. SQoS is automatically disabled for Intel and Samsung source devices which have good interleaving, and their own special requirements for keeping latency.
Still skipping extremely for me, anyone else?

Fix Jelly Bean

The long awaited upgrade is here but with it come some bugs. I didn't try out the SOAK as it was too much hassle for me, but some reported bugs there already...and since Motorola didn't really care about these minor bugs, we have to live with them now in the final release.
Here is my idea: let's collect the bugs we experience and let's find solutions for it.
The most annoying thing I encouter is the always shown 3G symbol, even when I have no or jost slow network. Does someone know how to fix this?

Jelly bean works great for me, very fast and smooth.
I don't know about the 3g symbol, but if stays on 3g I like it, lol

I'm not sure that I've seen 1x yet, but otherwise my 3G indicator seems to work fine. It switches to 4G when applicable, and goes away entirely if I have no signal or enter a voice-only roaming area. Signal strength bars work properly too.
EDIT: I started with a clean install of the most recent 4.0.4 release and immediately upgraded to the JB soak with the OTA that was posted here. Maybe you've got something from a previous install that's borked the network indicator.

That means you are on CDMA/LTE networks? I performed the SIM Mod, maybe just GSM is messed up...? I read in another thread that someone had the same issue during the SOAK.
I wonder if a hard reset would fix the issue, but I am too lazy to try out...But the symbol is a bit annoying when I _know_ that there is no signal...

Oh yes, I missed that you are on GSM. I am indeed running on CDMA, unfortunately I don't have any experience with the GSM service on this phone.
I don't have any probs like that in CM10.1, using the radio proprietaries / firmware from stock JB. So it's somewhere inside Moto's Android code.
CDMA 1XA was added to the 3G standard awhile back so technically the 3G symbol is correct.

What lapdock functionality do you have in ICS? I thought all it did was HDMI mirroring and USB keyboard? I would think HDMI wouldn't distinguish between a lapdock monitor and a TV, is it just the USB OTG issue causing the keyboard not to work?
This jellybean fix also lowers the ring volume.....and notification volume....does anyone know how to bring back the volume to its normal state...

NO more HDMI mirroring at all. and limited USB functionality.
I used to use it along with the Linux chroot method as a "laptop" while im waiting for a true dual boot to be ported for android so I reverted back to ICS.

Check My previous post in this thread.
But you need to use Skill_Cz's FXZ files along with RSD lite to revert back and make sure to remove the three lines in my post which i cant edit to be more specific if you like
Use the Latest 6.1.5 version of RSD lite to do so
The brightness slider keeps randomly reverting back to the lowest setting in the JB build also.
While I can't say that I make use of the HDMI, that is pretty awful that they straight up removed a feature. Have we not yet reached the point that HDMI support is native to Android?

Also have issues with this. And I am having issues with not being notified at all. On Vibrate, messages don't vibrate. I can select 'Vibrate on notification' and it wil work, but also vibrates when volume is up which I do not want. When the volume is up all the way, notification is barely audible. Voicecall notifications/ringtones work fine.
But it's also weird because sometimes it works fine. Trying to figure it out.
Otherwise I'm ok with JB. It's running decently and Smartactions are actually triggering by location now hehe.

HDMI still works. I have a dock I use to watch movies on my home theater with, and it still works. I believe the poster was reporting that Lapdock doesn't work anymore, not HDMI.
My new problem: app2sd doesn't work, the new version of android doesn't appear to support it manually, and I'm out of space on internal storage. Seriously, do they not have regression tests?

Apt X Bluetooth Audio Stuttering

There seems to be the same problem with all Xperia devices, but i couldn't find much about it with the Z3.
When playing music via bluetooth to a apt-x receiver there is a little break every few hundred milliseconds. This is really annoying and makes it impossible to use it at all. For some reason, sometimes it is just working fine with perfect sound quality. Also, with a non-apt-x receiver there is no problem.
I'm using 5 GHz WiFi and with my S3 and my Note 10.1 2014 or iPhones the connection works perfectly.
I already tried the old Bluetooth fix for the Z1, but it doesn't help.
Do you experience the same issue or do you have any solution?
I'm using the Avantree Saturn bluetooth receiver.
edit: sometimes it works fine for a while and then suddenly, e.g. when i start a game, it starts to stutter
No issues with my Sony SRS X7 Bluetooth/WiFi Speaker ....................unless its not using Apt-X some reason.
It says "connected to aptX-device" if it's a aptX connection
You are right I checked, it says Apt-X device while connecting. So I guess it works fine for me. I have not had any issues.
Thanks for checking! That's strange though, I found some other posts about that issue, mainly with car radios. Maybe it works because you have a Sony speaker
I think it differs device to device I had no issues with a HarmonKardon Onyx Studio either.
On Amazon there are a few people saying they get that issue with that Bluetooth reciever with other devices. I suppose it does not like the Z3.
Mine does not Display Aptx when connecting to my SRS-X5 or My Ecoxbt, which both supports Aptx.
When exactly does it display it?
Sent from my D6616 using XDA Free mobile app
Right as your connecting it. It will say "Connected to Apt-X device" in a notification near screen bottom, and then disappear.
Mine does not display Apt-x.
Edit: I can't seem to upload a pic.

Not the main notification.
It stays for like 2 secs near the bottom of the screen just after it finishes pairing.
It's in German but this is what it looks like

Ah so it's a toast notification. I'm not getting it. I even unpaired and paired again, still no Apt-X message.
Does this mean Apt-X my Z3 is not working for some reason?

US site, by few I mean only 10 or 15 people out 200+ reviews. But I think its safe to say it depends on device to device.
I have a problem with the bluetooth in my car it is always disconnected (Toyota original device) and after a while connect again.

Bluetooth issue?

Anyone else have issues with bluetooth connecting to car? It work sometimes but not all the time. Of course I never notice it did not connect until I am on the road. It works perfectly with my Samsung Gear S3.
Thanks, Dhatw.
In Europe Huawei recommend the use of Bluetooth Auto Connect app. In addition huawei bluetooth is not Rsap compatible so some functions are not working in certain cars. ie: no mail access in new Audi A4..
Working fine with my Roidmi 2S Bluetooth car charger. Doesn't work with my 451 Bosch Highline though... Bummer.

Thanks for you replies. I noticed something, it has happened with 3 different phones. It may be my car. I had a Chinese version then I sold it and borrowed a Nexus 5 until I got my new US version and it has dropped or not connected to Bluetooth on all three. The other thing I have to investigate is if my Samsung Gear S3 is connecting to my phone at the same time. I noticed the watch connects to phone calls randomly and I can't figure out how to stop it. One of the troubleshooting items that pops up on the phone when you cannot connect to a Bluetooth device is "is there another device connected to the one you are trying to connect to".
Once again, thanks and I will keep trying.

Found fix to my Bluetooth problem
Just got a new Huawei Mate 9 from Optus Australia. It would not connect to my car bluetooth although it would connect to two bluetooth speakers I have. Optus technical support finally resolved the issue by changing the car bluetooth PIN from 1111 to 0000. Checked my speakers and one has no PIN and the other has 0000 as the PIN. Looks like a phone bug in that it can only connect to devices without a PIN or with a PIN of 0000. It does not show a pop-up asking for PIN. Hopefully Huawei or an update to Android 7 will fix this.

Bluetooth problems

Whenever I restart or shutdown my Hauwei Mate 9 USA version the bluetooth turns off and I have to go back into settings and turn it back on I am running the latest firmware. Is bluetooth an issue with this phone? I use android wear watch and it sucks to have to to turn on bluetooth after every restart or shutdown. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
How many restart you do per day lol.
I have the same issue, but it's random. I'm on C568 USA, rooted on SHEILD ROM.

I think it's a problem with Android nogut since I can't pair more than one device with the phone.
I can connect more than 1 device to my Mate 9 no problem, but cannot get a Pokemon Go Plus to connect.
same with mine... iv'e downloaded a toggle to control BT when needed... way easer then pulling down and going into the settings

This apps don't do nothing for my problem.
Maybe it's a software problem.
Any progress on this?
I have my international Mate 9 now since november and it's a blast.
But somehow since a week my Bluetooth switches itself off during shutdown or boot. It's off after switched on, very annoying!
Anybody found the cause, or a solution?
For me the bluetooth takes about 6 minutes or more to connect to my car. My old P9 used to just take 20 seconds.
I also have the issue that bluetooth doesn't remember the setting after a reboot. It won't automatically switch back on. I rely on my watch to alert me so if I forget to turn the bluetooth back on I can miss a dozen notifications over the 5 minutes it takes for me to remember.
