Hi. I bought Bee Link X5II for my tv. I had connect it to my computer upgrade it to new firmware, put all needed aps into it, I test it for couple days and everything was ok. After that I connect it to my tv and I started to use ir control that was included. After couple seconds it got messy. When I select some button, it suspend / f.ex when i select left: instead of jump on next icon on launcher it goes maximum left, stops on last icon and hangs. I tried also with universal tv remote and it is the same- something is wrong with infrared but I dont know what. when I use keyboard, or mouse everything is ok.
How can I resolve this problem? I dont know is it hardware or rom that causes that. Maybe there is some apk that I can use to assign buttons?
hi,
you should buy a bluetooth mini keyboard with touchpad anyway.

Actually I found the problem, but I dont know how to resolve it. I took my android tv to second room where I have my main computer and I was using it whole day with ir remote ( no problems). Later I plug in to my computer and downgrade firmware just to be sure it is not a bug in it. Again I was using it whole day ( with remote) and there was again even one problem. Next day I took it to my living room and start it. After just a few clicks on remote my android tv gone crazy again... I have no idea what is the problem in my room ( i live in apartment block). I turn off wifi in my router to check is it going to be better, but without succes...
How can I resolve this problem???

I just received my MS Bluetooth Keyboard 6000 and got it working on cyanogenmod6 (CM6), connected using Bluetooth Keyboard Easy Connect. I ran into some problems getting it to work initially, so I figured I'd outline how I got it working and explain the functionality of the keys on the keyboard to help out anyone wishing to use this keyboard with the Viewsonic Gtablet.
Here's what I did:
(1) Installed Bluetooth Keyboard Easy Connect and got it running. Turned on bluetooth (but left it as non discoverable) on the gtablet.
(2) Rebooted Gtablet.
(3) Bluetooth automatically stays on upon reboot because I turned it on previously. Under Settings > Wireless, I went to bluetooth and let it scan for devices. I had previously turned my keyboard on and its LED was already flashing (to signal that the keyboard was discoverable).
(4) Once the gtab detected the keyboard, I selected the keyboard to make it pair. The gtab will prompt for a PIN. **HERE'S WHERE THE MICROSOFT INSTRUCTIONS DON'T EXPLAIN WHAT TO DO VERY WELL**
(5) Enter "0000" or any pin you want into the gtab and select OK. Immediately after doing this (without any further prompts), type the SAME pin (i.e. "0000") into your bluetooth keyboard and hit "Enter".
(6) Assuming that you had properly installed Easy Connect earlier and that it is already running in the background, your bluetooth keyboard should magically work!
(7) If the bluetooth keyboard stops working after a minute (mine stopped working, and everything I typed out in an email got deleted...weird), it might be because you didn't grant superuser permissions to Easy Connect. Do that, and it should work again.
That's all to make it work! Now, here's what works on the keyboard:
- volume control keys: up and down work, mute does not
- arrow keys work for typing; on home screen, arrow keys can be used to select app across multiple home screens (and pressing enter when an app is highlighted launches it)
- shift key works just like the android soft kb shift key (one press is shift, two presses is caps lock); but it seems like press and hold works too, including for the symbol keys on for shift+number
- windows key: doesn't work
F1 = settings
F2 = nothing
F3 = call log
F4 = sleep and wake the device (cool that it wakes up, but only after sleeping for less than a short time)
F5 and above = nothing
- CTRL and DEL don't do anything either
- ESC key: nothing
- tilde key (squiggly key under ESC): nothing
- FN Home: home (and wake when asleep)
- FN End : same as F4 (sleep and wake)
- FN Insert: nothing, it seems
- FN Print Screen: probably nothing
- Alt+Tab and Win+Tab: search
Also the keyboard is fairly responsive and wakes up quite quickly after non-use. So far so good, but I haven't tried rebooting or re-pairing yet.
ok... so I spoke too soon. The initial pairing was flawless, even after it went to sleep. Now, after rebooting, it doesn't pair properly and interferes with my wifi. I'm going to run some more tests and then probably report my findings of bugs in the Bluetooth Keyboard Connect thread.
Any updates? Did you get this to work reliably?

I've got the same keyboard. I got it to work with Blueinput. The only issue is that if you're using the free version, {Blueinput Demo} shows up in the middle of your typing an awful lot. I use it a lot, so I sprang for it.
It seems to interfere with my wifi... When I have bluetooth and Easy Connect running in the background on boot, it causes my wifi to cut out, especially when I open the Amazon app store and marketplace. Not sure why--maybe those use more bandwidth than just opening email?
My solution thus far has been to only turn on bluetooth (and Easy Connect, which runs automatically upon bluetooth being turned on) when I need it. Surprisingly though, the wifi problem doesn't seem to occur when bluetooth is connected to something--anything at all--like when it's connected to my bluetooth GPS module but not the bluetooth keyboard. Of course, when the bluetooth keyboard is connected, there aren't problems at all.
So the solution so far seems to be to re-pair it each time I want to use it. Not sure if anyone else has encountered the same problem (seems like it's a problem with Easy Connect) or has any suggestions.
I might try Blueinput to see if that fixes things.
Well, it sounds like it's a bit of a hassle but still definitely usable.
Do you know if the G Tablet works with any bluetooth keyboard? I'm thinking about buying a smaller one. Why's this tablet got to be so temperamental sometimes? Haha.
Yep... definitely usable. After fiddling with it some more, it seems (but I can't confirm) that I don't get problems so long as bluetooth isn't on when I boot it up (i.e. I turn off bluetooth before turning the tablet off). Looks like, once the tablet is on, things work out if I do the following:
(1) I can turn on the keyboard
(2) toggle bluetooth on the tablet
(3) watch as the pop up tells me that easy connect is running (it runs automatically when you turn on bluetooth)
(4) type in pairing code "0000 + enter" on the keyboard (not sure if this is necessary, but the 2 times I've tried it, it works, and I haven't tried going without).
Using these steps, and most importantly not having bluetooth on when booting up (that seems to interfere with wifi), seems to make things fairly smooth.
I haven't filed a bug report based on the wifi-interference issue yet because I haven't tried out all the permutations of what's on and running in the background on boot and what I'm pressing on the keyboard. It seems that things are working better after I fiddled with my bluetooth GPS external module and uninstalled/reinstalled Airport Mode (forgot the name of the app), so I'm not sure if either the GPS or the airport app did something.
Mankey: as for whether the gtab works with any bluetooth keyboard, it has the potential to, but it depends on what ROM you're running. I'm using CM6 and my results are based on that ROM. Good luck!
Thanks Kungfu and Judo. (lol)
Will probably jump on the 6000.
You're welcome. And I just noticed that judo has been replying too....
Do let us know how it works out for you on whatever ROM you're using and if you're able to get around some of the kinks I've discovered. I'll experiment with Blueinput when I have more time next week and see what I can figure out.
Hey so I just got my 6000 in the mail and downloaded blueinput demo but there seems to be a lot of missed keystrokes and some lag. Lag is fine to me as long as all my keystrokes go through. Haven't tried easy connect yet. But was just wondering if this was a symptom of me having the demo.
Tried easy connect but it doesn't seem to like me. Will connect and work for a while but soon it says that it disconnected.
Generally no lag at all using Easy Connect, although the first 3-4 keystrokes after a standby might be slow.
For Easy Connect, did you make sure that it had superuser privileges? That solved the disconnection problem for me. Also try what I did in terms of ensuring that bluetooth is off before rebooting, then turning on BT, then connecting the device.
What ROM are you running?
I actually tried doing exactly what you posted. No dice. It will always connect well, then after a couple minutes just crap out, followed by a message that says that it's disconnecting. Gave it superuser privileges, restarted with BT off. :/
I'm running Vegan 5.1.1 with pershoot at 1400. I was going to flash to Vegan 7 sometime soon (probably next week since I'm not in dire need of the keyboard right now) to see if it would help at all.
I'm not sure if the 6000 is HID or SPP bluetooth but I have a feeling it's HID. Maybe gingerbread can handle HID better. Once I flash ginger, I'll post my findings here.
Hey guys,
I have just bought a few Wetek Play Android TV boxes.
Apart from a few other issues that I will not get into here, I have one very major problem. I have two of these devices in my home and the air mouse that comes with it (the remote control) controls both boxes at the same time. so they are not independant.
this means if I have a box in the lounge and a box in the bedroom, both of their remote controls control both boxes at the same time making it completely useless.
I have asked Wetek support for help on this but only to get a reply that they are aware of the issue but cant do anything about it yet. so suggested using my phone or a mouse and keyboard..
Well this kind of defeats the purpose of what I got these boxes for.
I just wanted to get a little info on how these things work, you guys are super switched on when it comes to all things tech so I am hoping to find something out.
How do these remotes work? is it a hardware or software thing that connects them to each other?
I did install CM12 hoping that it would somehow fix the problem but it still exists.
is there anyway of making it so these remotes are independant of each other and linked to just one box?
Thanks in advance
Ryan

there is a solution but first you need to unsync the remotes, if you acomplish that them you are good to go, and resync one for each box, i do not know is how do you unsync them, to resync is box on standby and back + ok button till green light flash. if you get them unsync them remove power cord from 1 box and sync one at a time, after first is synced remove power cord from that one and sync the other, always have one without power that way the remote will not sync to both
So I am posting this everywhere as I found very little information about how to do this and trouble shooting some issues. Made a reddit post and going to post it here (I hope this is a proper place to put this).
Just hold down the PS button and Share till the light starts to flash. Go to your Bluetooth and pair the game controller.
Trouble shooting suggestions are on bottom.
Now after about 30sec, and for some unknown reason, you will run into input lag. To fix this you will need to download an app called Bluetooth Auto Connect. Once installed goto Advanced Options - Connect Now. Once you push Connect Now the input lag should be gone.
If you are looking for a clamp I just bought something called Nyko Smart Clip - PlayStation 4 on Amazon for $10. TOTALLY WORTH IT!
Trouble Shooting:
I had an issue when pairing that it would see the device but wouldn't pair. What I had to do was turn off Bluetooth, turn it back on and try again.
Another issue I had was Bluetooth Auto Connect wasn't fixing the lag issue on my Samsung Note Pro (same device I had an issue pairing, my Samsung Note 4 didn't have any of these issues). I had to uninstall sixaxis controller then restart device. Then uninstall Bluetooth Auto Connect and restart device. Then connect DS4 controller. Then install Bluetooth Auto Connect and spammed Connect Now. It seemed to work. FYI my Note Pro is rooted but my Note 4 isn't and this works on both devices!
To repair the controller to your PS4 plug it in with your charging cable and push the PS button, it will pair immediately. I personally bought a 2nd controller so I wouldn't have to do that.
Hello, I tried this with my ps 4 controller and it says that the controller is paired but the light on the controller keeps flashing and it does not respond to any input and after some time it just turns off, the Bluetooth auto connect app just says that is unable to connect to wireless controller, please help, my device is a galaxy s7 edge.
Connecting the PS4 controller works for me but can't do anything else such as can't play games or anything, maybe a future update when everyone starts to cry a bit more about how the S7 Edge isn't compatible with any controller, I have tried 3rd party controllers and the right joystick and the rest of the buttons do not work, the only thing that works is the left joystick...
Before the 7.0 Nougat update on the S7 Edge (SM-G935P) the OTP (wired) connection would crash the phone; freezing the display, hard reboot. This happened on the OFW and rooted versions. Bluetooth would pair but you'd have to try multiple times and you'd need to delete the original pairing to repair (holding the pair buttons on the controller).
After the 7.0 Nougat update, controller support had been added- albeit horribly. The only connection is an OTP connection, Bluetooth still has errors. The button configurations are wrong though, the controller is useless. Square, X and circle are all wrong and triangle doesn't even register.
This is where I'm at, anyone know of any fix? I'm not looking forward to buying a Stratus XL (works perfectly but it's 60$)
I'm about to just switch from Samsung to Sony lol.
Unfortunately the guy that wrote this article is guilty of blatant douchbaggery (what good is a paired controller that cant be mapped and starts mapped completely out of whack). Yes you can 2 button pair a ds4 controller but a ds4 controller is encrypted and requires in linux and linux like os a driver called SCP (SONY CORP.SOMTHING......) That just isnt offered by any app ive seen on droid other than sixaxis. Alternately you could always hard wire it . The major flaw in this is the inability to stop the controller from charging in this case off your phone battery. As far as the mapping goes the only issue is android uses the generic abxy combo which is cross circle square triangle in ps4 speak . in retrospect .....i suppose i should have stopped reading when the author claimed no root. The controller keylayout files (.kl) are located in/system/user/keylayout. How are u supposed to do anything to those w/o root?
I have an old Android TV MBX 16ref (Android 4.0 ) Rooted it to install Titanium Backup, but since then my wireless keyboard with trackball started acting very odd: it just starts running selections alone to the bottom of any screen, as something got permanently stuck. Is usable, but is a pain to select anything or even to watch YouTube as it keeps bars and pause option on (in the middle of the screen).
Checked the keyboard with other appliances (my computer) and it acted normally.
And, well, to prove I AM stupid, I just forgot to backup the original firmware. So, no way to flash it again. (to worsen things, the original remote control broke. I just have the keyboard with trackball).
And this device seems to have no Bluetooth, so there's no option of using a Bluetooth keyboard, just the wireless.
Any thougts of how can I get out of this mess? Or should I consider to give up and buy another Android TV?
Hi.
I've checked 3 pcs of Mi TV stick - each time after updating to latest update the stick is turning on by itself in 20 seconds after turning off by remote.
The new piece from box before update is ok, after installing latest update same issue. Does Xiaomi knows some solution to this bug?

I have the same problem bro. Still not found the solution.
I got the solution - at least that worked for me. The problem was with charging adapter from xiaomi phone. When stick was charged from PC USB slot then no problem with turning on by itself. It seems those sticks need power from low voltage sources like PC USB or TV USB (that I didnt check). Try it.
In my case there is no difference. TV Stick turning on by itself no matter if it was in TV USB, PC USB or plugged in charged which came in package.
It was my 2nd TV Stick because 1st was sended back because of classic problem with remote - losing connection and you need to unplug the device.
Unfortunately I have same issue with latest PI.1727. It's not able to stay in standby. On my side I'm sure it's a reason of updated hdmi-cec code. Once upon a time I was able to shutdown both tv and stick with a single button click. It's a dream now. I wish we were able to downgrade firmware.
Same issue on brand new Mi TV Stick updated to PI.1727. It wakes up with no reason.
Same issue here. I can shutdown MiStick + Tv, but I can't turn on both devices from remote using HDMI-CEC.
And both devices turn on automatically every day at same hour.
