[Q] Bluetooth Headset, Vzw GS3 CM10.1 RC5

Searched around google, xda, similiar threads, couldn't find any help, so i finally decided to make an account and look for some help.
I recently updated from my stock GS3 to CM10.1 RC5, and paired with NovaLauncher, i love it. But i ran into my first real problem today, and havent been able to find a solution. I have a logitech wireless headset (Model: H800) that i use sometimes for making calls where i need to use both hands while on the phone. Ive always used bluetooth to connect my headset and phone and it worked splendidly. This is my first time trying to pair the devices since upgrading to CM10.1, and my phone now will not recognize the headset. I cant connect them through normal wireless, so im not sure what to do. Will updating to the new 10.1.0 fix this? Is there a patch somewhere i havent found? Any help would be appreciated.
Relevant info:
Verizon Galaxy S3
CM10.1 RC5
Nova Launcher Prime
Logitech H800
Bluetooth not connecting for the 2 devices.
I have to go to the store, so i wont be able to respond right away, but ill be back in a little while if anyone needs any more info/has questions. Thanks for looking!

Bluetooth hasn't worked quite properly for a while in AOSP. I went back to TW for that reason.
If you want AOSP and want fully working Bluetooth I suggest SLIM version 4.2.2. Also don't update the kernel from stock on SLIM.

usb otg problem on jellybean

there is a major bug on jellybean with this tablet where the otg will stop working and you have to reboot to fix the problem, can a app like USB OTG Helper get around this problem?
and please don't reply and say your otg works fine, you are not helping me by saying that, i want a solution & help with this problem, not a "works fine for me, not sure what you are talking about herpy derp" its really annoying and doesn't help my cause, just don't reply if you are going to say that.
so anyways, anyone installed this app on jellybean and have no lockups with the otg? please post on this topic, or if you know any other solutions or apps that can help that would be nice, just that i want to update to jellybean to get the feature to turn of notifications for apps, i get spammed to death by it and its really annoying. if nothing comes from this topic then i will just have to stay on ics till 4.3 or 4.2 comes (if that ever happens that is)

What is otg

Could you tell us what the model number of the tablet is, root status, and software version?

I am having the same problem. However, the issue is not universal, i.e.: not all notes suffer from this problem. Sofar, it is not even clear to me whether the problem is hardware or software related. E.g.: my Note has Android 4.1.2 installed and USB only works once after a reboot (that is with the official Samsung adapters). I did try my adapters with a different Note, where they worked perfectly, but that tablet was running 4.1.1.
I have not tried OTG Helper, as I do not want to root my tablet (too risky with possible curious little fingers around), but I have just received a return ticket from Amazon Germany for a repair and/or replacement. If the replacement works, while running 4.1.2, I am much more inclined to call this a hardware failure, in which case no helper app can save you. I shall keep the forum informed...

if it was a hardware problem then my otg adaptor wouldn't work on ics would it? it's a software problem on jellybean, hence the reason i created this topic.

i've found solution to the problem and will leave this for anyone who needs it, basically sixaxis app and a dual shock 3 controller and root, you only need to connect the usb otg once and it registers the mac code from the controller with your tablet, after that you can play wirelessly without cables so the otg problem is completely bypassed, i'm happy because i can finally leave ice cream sandwich behind and enjoy jellybean on my tablet finally, i just wish someone told me this ages ago and i wouldn't have been stuck on ice cream sandwich for so long, yay! time to celebrate lol

started a bug report with android. Please help get this fixed
I started a bug report for this with android. Please go and star it for importance so that it gets fixed. If you got it working please go and say what you have/did to have usb otg working with 4.1.2.

[Q] Nvidia Shield WiFi Problem, After Root.

Hello Recently got my shield and after rooting it (properly, Followed the xdadevelopers YouTube video) My wifi just goes in and out of use. And if I try to reconnect it just sticks at "Connecting..." It also says I have a Bar of wifi, when i'm literally next to it. I've tried two routers and no hope. Before the root it did work like a charm. Anyone else having this issue and/or have any idea how to fix it? - Edit: I believe it's my modem, but i'm not positive. (It's been causing issues all month...)

Root did not affect my wifi.
My concern now is to keep rooted after the big update of 28th october. I want to use my PS3 Dual Shock controller wirelessly with the new "console mode"!!!

[Q] Logitech Keyboard Pro and Android 5.0.2 Stock firmware

I upgraded to the Lollipop 5.0.2 Stock firmware yesterday from KitKat - everything seemed to go smoothly but I am experiencing a problem with my Logitech Pro Keyboard.
I can scan and discover the keyboard, connect and enter the PIN and the keyboard shows up as being present, connected and an input device. However, no key presses are registered by the tablet at all from the keyboard. I have tested the keyboard with another tablet - a 2011 Nexus 7 running 5.1.1
Has anyone got this keyboard working with the stock firmware?

Nope.... this seems to be a major bug with this initial release of 5.0.2 for the P900. I have the same with my Logitech Pro and also a Logitech K810.
From what I've seen so far no BT keyboards work except for Samsung (model unknown) where I've seen one report of it working.

Well, the issues with 5.0 and Bluetooth are universal, so I'm not at all surprised....

Bummer... Should we expect Samsung to address this issue in a future release, or are we stuck with an expensive cover with keys? (I'm just wondering if Samsung actually tracks those issues and if they are willing to fix it...)
Really too bad it works for the 'original' Samsung keyboard cover, if that were broken too it may have been a bigger incentive for Samsung to fix this BT problem
And I haven't seen keyboard issues with CM12 on the Note 12.2, so that makes me wonder if this is a Lollipop issue, I would guess it is more a Samsung problem. I remember the BT stack on my SIII being 'different', it didn't work too well with my car kit...

"....... or are we stuck with an expensive cover with keys?" It seems we are
COF4 for Canada and Cellular South with a different build date is now available so it'll be interesting to see if it has the same problems.
BOF2 is also now available for Switzerland but it has the same build date/time as the Netherlands build.... so much for country variations :silly:

Cheap Polaroid bluetooth keyboard working fine with 5.02 on a P900 here. Maybe this is Logitech specific?

what fw build have you flashed/updated to.... BOF2 or COF4 ?

BOF2. Just checked again and all is working well. Note that I did a full reset after flashing because clicking "Toolbox" in the settings->Device caused settings to crash. That might be something to try (I know it's a common suggestion and one that's a real pain to do but if that's the only difference between our devices then maybe try it).

Ok, thanks for the info.
I did a full reset after flashing as I wanted a clean build.

Same issue here
Installed 5.02 .. Logitech keyboard no longer working.

As I never use my tablet without a keyboard and supplies of the original Samsung keyboard are not exactly great ( at least in the UK and NL ) I have ordered a US keyboard from Ebay - Not ideal, as I will be using 3 different keyboard layouts each day, but I wanted to make sure that I got one before they all disappear.

Maybe something logitech should fix then given that Polaroid and Samsung keyboards work.

I installed the BOF2 - Dutch version.
Where can I download the COF2 version ?
EDIT: found it - downloading now - will try and report results.
My tablet originally came from the US - I wonder if North American versions have something different at the hardware or OS level that is different from European models ?

It's Google's fault, actually. They messed up the Bluetooth protocols.

How come my.Bluetooth keyboard works on my note pro and my z3, both on lolipop? Also my Bluetooth speaker and my car both work fine with both devices. Can't be a.general lolipop bug surely?

Just updated my P900 to 5.0.2 and my logitech keyboard does not work. I updated my US purchased tablet OTA if that helps.

Same on us version
Just updated to 5.0.2 on us bought tablet with us ota and yes logitech bluetooth keyboard will pair but no keys do anything. This is pathetic, why break things?
Anyone have a fix? If not can I go back to a version of android that actually works? If so, how?
---------- Post added at 01:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 AM ----------
The logitech blutooth kbd does not work with the galaxy note pro 12.2 OTA (US) 5.0.2 update however it works fine with my nexus 4 running android 5.1.1. Point is that I can use the phone to act as a keyboard using a number of apps (for example im typing this through an2an remote 3.2.4)
You guessed it, the logitech keyboard is paird to the phone and the phone is running as a remote control keyboard and its working. There is some light lag (only some of the time) and at least I can get on with writing my document now. Wierd to be bouncing the keyboard off the phone to the tablet but thats better than not being able to use the keyboard at all.
The spesfic app im using on the phone has to be open in order to work so I couldnt use the phone for anything else (or have any other screen open on the phone) so this is not a long term solution however it will allows people to do some typing on the galaxy note pro with 5.0.2 and the logitech keyboard in the short term.

Absurd
Really, this has to be a joke. I have the same issue here. Did a factory reset fix it for anyone?

I havent tried that yet but i agree its very disapointing. The logitech keyboard works fine on my nexus 4 running android 5.2.2 so its not an android thing, its a "we couldnt be bothered to test it" thing and unfortunatly samsung dont release updates very often so it could easily be 6 months before this is fixed (if its ever fixed). There are only a couple of keyboard cases designed to fit the 12.2 inch device so this will affect a LOT of people - I would have prefered to not update (and in future may hold of on updating) as everything was working fine before and now the keyboard I use every day no longer works, great work samsung.
This is the second or third time an android update has given me nothing I wanted and broken something I actualy relied on

Bluetooth controllers

I got ipega 9055 game controller and noticed moving keys don't right. Keys get stuck or not register. Controller works in other phones.
This problem seems to be in other lenovo phones also.
I found some other people have similar issues:

I was thinking does anyone else have game controller and issues like this?

Yes I do! And it drives me nuts trying to play Mario Kart. ?

I'm going to flash custom rom because of this. I tried everything i can think of with no result..
This issue has been pretty long and Lenovo is probably not going to do anything about it.
It would be nice to know if problem persists in custom rom. I strongky think its software related but i will see after 14 days...

Been tempted to stay clear of rooting this one for the likes of sky go and android pay so let me know how you get on with the flash. See if it helps. I was checking the Bluetooth specs on my P2 compared to other devices and it doesn't seem to be that. So I'm stumped. It appears the joystick is the only thing not responding properly. One press and it appears to be stuck in that position. I know for a fact it's not the joystick. Works a treat on my old S5.

I also wanted to stay stock for awhile longer..
Im also positive there is nothing wrong with my gamepad, tested mine with S6.
I let you know how it goes.

I can tell you now that nothing's wrong with your gamepad. In the MegaN64 app there's an option in input, controller, controller diagnostics to check the button and directional pushes. As you can see from the first screenshot the left joystick pushed down (AXIS-Y) is stuck on +0.67. Somewhere between half and a whole push. I had released the joystick while I took this screenshot. It's just stuck there. In the second screenshot I pushed the right trigger button (AXIS_GAS) Which cancelled the stuck joystick position but then that trigger button got stuck on +0.40. Nearly half a push. I had also let go of the trigger button while I took this screenshot. Personally I think it's down to Lenovo using cheap Bluetooth hardware. That's my guess. I'd love to be proved wrong though.

Thanks for testing.
I really hope its not hardware problem.
I'm sad that this is pretty common problem with Lenovo phones and there is no support from their part.

How did you get on with the flash?
Any custom ROMS have any better result?

I have not yet flashed because of waiting period. Still 8 days remaining.
But in dev section i got answer that custom rom will fix issue.
Please check here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3592706
page 4 #38

Then again I suppose there's no Knox counter on P2 haha. I'm assuming you can unroot if necessary?
Are you going to install that custom ROM in the link? Or another?

No knox counter but OEM lock what you can unlock from dev settings(waiting time 14 days). After that you loose warranty.
I was thinking to try AOSP extended(same as link) but i have not decided.
I suppose you can unroot and go back to stock but warranty is gone.
edit: Now im on Resurrection mod. No problem with bt controller what so ever.

I was going to update anyone else on stock ROM. Just received a Gamesir WIRED controller and it's STILL experiencing the same issues. So after all that it's not been a Bluetooth issue at all. Just software. Great news that the Custom ROM worked for you. Think I might have to go down the same route. Which ROM was it you went for?

Ah that would explain why my Drone was acting crazy yesterday when I was flying it with my USB Gamepad, I thought the gamepad was shot ! It never crossed my mind that the P2 might be at fault...oh well a few more days to wait before I can unlock it.

I wonder if they'll just ever release Nougat for it? Haha. They're slacking big time.

btw if there is still people using stock system and want issue fixed, Lenovo has asked me for log info. I couldn't wait and flashed custom rom. Here is thread link if anyone is interested:https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/P2-P2a42-Smartphones/bluetooth-controller-problem/td-p/3652943

Nice one, Kiryo. I'm​ still on stock for Android pay as it's come in so handy. ? Already had developer options enabled as I thought there might be an extra Bluetooth setting to adjust to try and fix the issue but there wasn't. So I've enabled bugging reports now. I'll send them a report over as soon as I get the controller connected later on. ?

Kiryo... Just curious. How are you getting on with the Custom ROM? Does it still have the same features the stock ROM has? Such as VR mode and dual app mode? Cheers...

Well there is all that i need. I have no need for VR mode but i guess it works in apps normally.
I also dont use dual app mode but i guess there is mutitasking option there.
Custom roms offer much more configurations than stock.
Im overall happy. There is still some issues with volume echoing with speaker and volume sliders during call etc.. but nothing too serious.
I'm just happy with functional bt controller.

Yeah I bet. Thanks for the info. ?
I'll look into making a nand backup as well I think. (If that still exists)
