[Q] Unable to pair Shield with PC - no message appears - Shield Q&A

So I've tried to pair my Shield to my PC, in anticipation to do some GameStreaming. But after following the help guides, I can't seem to get it to pair - no computer found, and also no option on the PC to clear settings as advised by the tutorial.
Is pairing allowed only after a compatible game is detected? Or can it be done even if there are no games on the PC?
Has anyone got any similar experiences?

Motoactv Bluetooth Pairing Problem - Laptop

I successfully paired my 16gb motoactv with my laptops Bluetooth connection. I was then able to play music from the device through my laptop. The pairing and connection was simple and strait forward . I accidentally hit 'forget' on my motoactv device and I went to pair again so I removed the device from my laptop and went on to pair. This time around the two devices will not discover one another.
Each device, my laptop and motoactv will discover and pair with other devices (headsets, car head unit) just not with eachother. I tried all i could think which was uninstall all bluetooth drivers and bluetooth software and did a re-install. I rooted and rebooted in recovery. Did a full wipe and then installed a downloaded and installed 16gb stock rom and still it just will not discover. It is acting like it is still paired therefore not discovering one another. I feel the issue is more with my computer. I feel like the computer did not 100% get rid of the pairing information but i am not sure. I base that on the fact I did a complete wipe of the data and installed a fresh stock rom. How would I be able to re-pair these two or make sure the pairing was completly uninstalled on my laptop. Hp Pavillion dv6 win7
I dont get how this device can pair without a hitch the first time around and the second time around it wont even discover one another.
More small details, I was in the process of rooting the device - would that affect bluetooth discovery. Something I could figure out quickly but I doubt it. The motoactv also does not discover on my bluetooth enabled ipad. Not sure if it could or should discover. At this point im just doing trial and error to really figure out this odd problem,
Hi, you should try and look if your laptop has "Enable this device to be discovered" or something like that in the bluetooth options. Basically, you need to make your laptop discoverable. Then go to phone setup on motoactv and set it up. After that you should be able to see your laptop in the wireless menu in the motoactv and connect to it. I also use my motoactv to play music through my laptop speakers.

[Q] PS3 Controller to TF300T

Hi Everybody
I recently bought TF300T and now trying to connect my PS3 Dualshock 3 controller to it, but facing problems.
I have jellybean 4.1 as OS and trying to conect using dock USB Port.
In Settings -> Bluetooth -> My PS3 controller is shown, but when i click on it to connect, error message comes " Unable to Communicate with Blah Blah..)
It doesnot work in game, while in normal tablet mode, i can move thru items/pages with my controller.
I have read so many forums over internet which shows the simple steps to connect, i tried to use them a number of times but no success.
Also, I tried with different games like FIFA2012, Shadow Gun, Mass Effect
Please helpout, am I doing something wrong or its just jellybean not allowing to.
Thanks

[Q] How to set up an xbox 360 wired controller via OTC?

I've searched all the forums, as well as the web, and followed every bit of advice and / or instructions I could find on the issue, but no matter what I attempt to do I can't get any games to work with the xbox 360 controller. Anyone have any idea how to get this to work with the skyrocket via an OTC cable?
More Details:
When I first plugged it in, the device seemed to recognize the controller (the lights on the controller would start flashing, the phone would give a message saying that a usb device is connected - but no games (I used emulators as well as games that are supposed to specifically support playing with an xbox controller, like GTA 3) were able to recognize or use the controller. Since then I've downloaded and installed a few different files on my phone to try to get the controller to work (.kl and .kcm files) as well as the app USB/BT Joystick Center 6 (which recognizes the controller and seems to work when I'm setting it up, but games are still unable to recognize the controller). I'm completely out of ideas of what to do or what the problem could be, so if anyone's had success with this or has an idea how this could be done, that would be fantastic. Thanks!

Z3 unable to pair with laptop

Hi guys, I tried pairing my z3 which I have restored to its factory settings (previously I have already paired the phone to the laptop) but I am unable to do so as every time I tried to pair it, it will show that this phone has already been paired with the computer but yet under my wireless listing, my pc name is not shown at all unlike previously, making me unable to do anything, is there any methods to solve this or do I need to exchange for a new set?
Anyone of you who can help?

you should give both info about phone and laptop
what OS installed in ur laptop?
and what is happening when u want to remove xz3 from pair device on laptop?
My guess is that the pairing is still active on your PC only, meaning that it is skipping the negotiation phase when your phone tries to connect, and makes your phone fail to connect.
On your laptop you will have to go to your bluetooth devices and delete your Z3 from there. Delete your laptop from your phone if you can find it and start the pairing process over from scratch.
Simply trying to re-pair purely off the phone is not enough to re-establish a connection.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S4 mini Sixaxis

So I recently just rooted my Galaxy S4 mini mainly for the reason to connect a dualshock 4 to it. I've searched and searched on many forums and videos looking for the best/correct way to do it, and I've tried them all and get the same result. I've used the PC Sixaxis tool and programmed the Bluetooth to my phone, used the Controller compatibility tool to see if it is compatible (it is, and it connected and showed the controller inputs on the screen). But when I went to the main Sixaxis app and did the same process, and it gets to "listening for device" and never connects. I'm seeing if anyone can tell what the problem might be and help me out with it. Any thoughts?
