from previous post:
I bought this parallel port bluetooth adapter so i could print from my Universal instead of IRDA. well, it also comes with a USB dongle you can install on you computer to use that as well. that part works.
the part i can't get around is that the bluetooth pair process requires a passkey that isn't mentioned anyway in the document, no website, and i've googled my brains out. the onyl thing that seem to come close is a belkin adapter with a passkey of 'belkin', but that doesn't work. i've tried 0000-9999, 1234, IOGEAR, lot's of random junk. oddly enough there doesn't seem to be a away of pair without security like on my H4350

anyway i finally got a response from IOGEAR they say that the printer adapter doesn't have a passkey. my problem is the pairing sequence for bluetooth requires a entry for a passkey all of which fail even a blank entry. is there some registery entry that will allow me to bypass this?
thanks!
does anyone know how to pair a device with no passkey on WM5 (which requires a passkey? just hitting enter doesn't help).

Judging by the number of topics on Activesync and Bluetooth a lot of people seem to be having difficulty synchronising their XDAII via Bluetooth. I am no exception.
I bought a Bluetooth PCMCIA card from eBay made by Sphinx Elektroniks (Germany) which came with Bluetooth Monitor v1.0.14 Build 1 software. See
http://www.sphinx-elektronik.de/deutsch/bluetooth/picocard_tech.htm
Whilst my XDAII and PC have bonded ok with the XDAII clearly visible in the Environment pane, it does not seem possible to either transfer files between XDAII and PC nor to get Activesync to work. There is no Activesync profile (from what I can see) in the Bluetooth Monitor software, there are only 3 "services" listed:
- SSA (this has modem symbol)
- ? OBEX Object Push
- ? Service Discovery
I have tried installing the first two on an available serial COM port, e.g. 2, 5 or 6 and then going into Activesync on the PC and trying to "Get connected" but the PC can't see the any of these ports when it looks for a mobile device. The third of the services in the list above reports an error "the service cannot be installed. SCN (service channel number) is 0". I have also tried to initiate Bluetooth connection from the XDAII, both via the Settings, System, Bluetooth Settings, Bluetooth ActiveSync Setup "Start". I have also made sure that the PC ActiveSync Connection Settings has the "allow serial cable or infrared connection to this COM port" is enabled but the ports 2, 5 or 6 are not visible.
So it seems I am stuck. Anyone else had similar problems or had any success with this type of Bluetooth card?
If the card supports serial profile it should work, just make sure you have not bonded with anything on your xda2, go to settings/system/bluetooth, choose the "sync by bluetooth" it will tell you to bond with a serial profile capable bt service, let it search. Make sure you are in discover mode. I have a cheap bt dongle which came with the widcomm software and I am using bluetooth to sync and I am able to surf the web anywhere in the house on my xda2. I can even use my pc as my headset and listen to the phone through the pc speakers and use the mic to speak to the phone.
I just checked that site and it seems that your card does support serial profile so it should work. If it has the bluetooth wizard you need to set up all the protocols that you will be using first.
Hi cruisin-thru,
Yes I saw your earlier post about your success with your cheap Bluetooth dongle. I'm glad you got it working.
Sadly, I've already tried your suggested method but when I do the Settings/System/Bluetooth Settings and click the "Start" button for Bluetooth ActiveSync Setup (which is what I assume you are referring to) it comes up with the error message "Please bond with other Bluetooth device which supports serial port or ActiveSync profile as your ActiveSync partner!". When I click ok it goes to the Bluetooth mode screen (which shows "Discoverable" still. I can only conclude that my Pico card is not compatible with ActiveSync or serial port modes.
My XDAII synchronises fine by USB and IrDA but Bluetooth would be good for surfing, as you know.
Rafil.
You definitely have the serial profiles activated on your pc??
Dear Cruisin-thru,
Thanks for your help on this subject but the Pico card & software I have just don't work with the XDAII. There is no way to do the serial port profiles in a way that the XDAII can see it. I have decided to abandon the Pico card and to go for the dongle that you recommended. For the benefit of all XDAII users who want to sync by Bluetooth, cruisin-thru kindly supplied the following link on eBay for the USB Bluetooth dongle that does work:
http://cgi6.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI...blue-future&include=0&since=-1&sort=3&rows=50
Regards -- Rafil.
Here is a link to the software I am using with the dongle.
http://www.blue-future.co.uk/BluetoothDriver.zip
Make sure the dongle is unplugged until you get the prompt. Make sure previous software is removed also.
Ok I'm about to toss this bluetooth thing out the window. I got a BT adaptor and installed it all. Everything connects, and pairs, but I can't do anything. When I pair my computer to the pda I get 2 services. Wireless Stereo, and Serial. But sometimes serial switches to activesync. But once it says activesync and I go into activesync, it says no pc with activesync in around. So I refresh it and save it and it says the same thing. WTH am I missing. I'm a smart guy and I can't get anywhere with it. The best I can get is when I refresh my services the active sync light spins two seconds. I know the adapter works but theres just nothing to do.
OK I figured it out.
1st. I was using a Belkin 100m BT Adaptor. I installed the software and drivers. Then I uninstalled the software and just used the MS software with Belkins drivers.
2. The key seemed to be you needed to set up your com ports on Activesync and in the MS BT cofiguration BEFORE YOU PAIR!!!! This really seemed to be the problem.
Hope this helps another noob.
Hi,
I have an SX-66, and I used to used OBDGauge with W2003SE, the thing is I upgraded to WM6, and the program runs, but I get an error:
Error: Failed to open serial port
Does anyone know how to open a serial port under WM6?
I love this program and it works so well, I would hate to downgrade just to use it. I know it works for WM6, because a buddy of mine has the HTC Tilt and he uses the same program and it works fine for him.
If it is of any help, I use a ELM 323 connetion to serial.
If I figure it out, I will let you guys know how I did it.
--------
Also for those of you using WM6 on your SX66 with a BT GPS, I was able to connect mine when I used the BroadcomCorp_BT1.6.0.600 update.
I now connects flawlessly. Only thing is the connection takes a while to sync, like maybe 45-60 sec. I went from Miami, FL to Orlando, a 3 hour drive and it did not disconnect once. It also creates an extra Bluetooth file on my settings, but allows me to use the command manager to turn it off or on, so thats fine with me.
Do you connect your ODB reader via bluetooth?
No I connect it through data cable?
OBD WM6
If your PDA supports serial port hardware, you should open the same COM port as before? You can also use Bluetooth to read OBD data from your car : http://www.obdkey.com
Ok so everything is up and ready.
I have an ELM323 connecting to my Sx66. I am able to communicate beautifully with my Cars ECU now. Already have seen a few thing that need adjusting like my timing.
Well anyways. As soon as my wife gets home, I am going to take pictures. I will send you guys the looks. The good thing is I found the original data cable on ebay from Cingular/Siemens. It is USB and Serial, but it has an adapter to also charge it. I was worried, because my cradle did not have serial, but I know you could get an serial/usb adapter (but someone told me it would not work this way).
Anyways, upcoming plans are to do a little tweak, the same one from Youtube, called the Aximizer.
Also, one more thing are GSM attennas worth their money?

Ok....
So I am not liking something with OBDGauge, like the fact that it is a pain in the rear to get to work on my car. When I replied, it worked, now it is not. I have to diddle daddle with it until finally it works, takes 5 minutes (not very practical). I have been reading the forums and alot of people have problems with OBDgauge. I am going to install something else: If anyone you know of any programs let me know, must support WM6.
OK a heads up.
For those of you that want to do a little project you will need 3 things to get your blueangel to work with the OBDII reader in your car:
1. a serial null modem: you can find one at radio shack
2. serial cable data cable, a converter serial to usb will not work.
3. and an OBDII with elm 323 or 327, also autoenginuity has a great one package with a badass program that only works with their reader.
I am in the process of making a program with my brother-in-law for this to work with the ELM devices as we have notice that most programs are limited and do not feature things like oil pressure and miles per gallon.
I wish I knew how to create a dyno program, but I will leave it upto others to come.
I only know of two programs that work well with WM6 under the ELM that are free and they are: OBDGAUGE and ScanTest or MicroOBD.
anyways I do not know much about making a program for WM6, but my brother-in-law does. I am going to try my best with him to develop something, when I do, I will put out here for you guys to use.
I would like some new tips if possible so that we do not have to struggle too much.

How does your buddy connect his tilt to the OBDII reader, is there some bluetooth serial adapter involved? I have a Kaiser (and can't believe that the Tilt has a serial port or USB host) and am currently looking for exactly the same thing to do.
Any updates of apps för OBD reading?
Or just the same old same old apps?
OBDGauge and MicroOBD

I would like to know also. I have a bluetooth ELM327 device that connects fine to my Palm Lifedrive, but when I try with the Tilt running WM6 I get the "failed to open serial port" window. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks
[edit] I did some more searching and found this post series at ATT's wireless site: http://forums.wireless.att.com/t5/HTC/HTC-Tilt-bluetooth-sync/td-p/1408041
QUOTE: Did you create an outgoing COM port on your phone? You then have to go into ActiveSync's options on the desktop (File-Connection Settings) and check the checkbox that says "Allow connections on " and select that port # in the pulldown menu. At least, that's how I do it in XP.

I think I'm having the same problem... basically, I follow the instructions and still cannot sync. Here is what I see AFTER I pair the devices:
1. On PC (XP w/ all the updates), Bluetooth--> QuickConnect --> Serial Port does not have Tilt device in the pull down menu and when I "Find Device" it cannot find the device (remember, tilt and PC already paired)
2. On PC w/ ActiveSync4.2, I tried to CONNECT using "Connection Setting" and cannot find the Tilt.
3. On PC MyBluetoothPlace, I only see the following "services",
a. Dial-Up
b. Network Access Point
c. Voice Gateway
4. On Tilt, I only see the following services;
a. Wireless Stereo
b. Serial Port
c. Dial Networking
d. Headset
Help!
END QUOTE. Admittedly, this is originally dealing with ActiveSync, but I did discover the "New Outgoing Port" setting inside the Settings/Bluetooth folder. Click on COM ports. Select the device you wish to add (mine is called CBT). Hit next and select a COM port (I am using 5). I am going to test in the truck. Eureka! It works! Make sure the com port you select in OBDGauge preferences is the same you assigned to the BT ELM interface, and it should connect and start scanning. Hope this helps.
Has anyone gotten a Bluetooth mouse to pair without using a pin?
I'm using a Microsoft Presenter 8000 mouse with the Bluetooth dongle just fine. However, I would like to use the mouse without the dongle. I get prompted for a pin which the mouse doesn't use. Is there a way to manually pair from a shell?
Sent from my A500 using xda premium
Did you try 1111 or 0000?
Sometimes those work as a default on painless devices.
If it comes with a USB adaptor and wireless does not mean it uses a standard Bluetooth profile.I have on that says wireless. 2.4 gig and so on.I thought was Bluetooth.Its not or something prevents it to connect to anything other then the USB adapter it came with.even my computer win 7 will se it as Bluetooth but not connect. Even turning security off.
The mouse doesn't use a PIN. Binds with other computers just fine without the dongle and no PIN prompt.

As already mentioned, that could be because of support Bluetooth profile between different machines and with/without dongle use. Try the defaults most devices use which is 0000, 1111, 9999, and 1234. If that doesn't work, you'll need to look at the support info for the device as I can assure it, there is a hard-coded PIN somewhere in that device
For example, I have an Bluetooth OBD-II reader for my car. On my buddy's phone (cannot remember which, but was a Windows mobile OS) did not need a PIN, but connecting to my Android, it did.
I'm digging up a fairly old topic here, but Google brought me here. I have the same problem with the same mouse. Did anybody figure it out? I am not actually using an A500 but the fact remains.
My bluetooth mouse is a Razer Pro Click Mobile. There is NO pin for this device and according to razer you can't add one. This should the same issue with other BT devices that don't require a pin.
Things I've Tried:
1. Bluetooth Pairing App, the app is written in japanese and hard to follow but it does fiind my device but never seems to connect. It displays a message at the bottom like #[email protected]&%$ !, but I'm not sure what that error is.
2. Bluetooth Manager ICS, when trying to connect to the device it just calls the jelly bean api it seems and there is no way to enter a blank pin code.
3. Pairing code combinations.. 0000, 00000, 000000, 1111, 11111, 111111, 9999, 99999, 999999, 1234, 12345, 123456.
I used this mouse with my netbook and it worked great but it SHOULD work with the nexus 7. All the OS needs to do is accept no pin devices and I'm good.
Help!??
I would pay for someone to fix this, why would this even be an issue?
I'd be in for a few bucks too. I've got a thread for the same issue, it's a targus though. Works with everything else.
^
Talking to a dev friend of mine, I hope he can get this working as this should be native to the device.
... We can't be the only ones that have this issue ...
Maybe an app like https://play.google.com/store/apps/...kaW9zLnNpeGF4aXNjb21wYXRpYmlsaXR5Y2hlY2tlciJd
My Gigabyte BT mouse paired without a problem.
Mice don't have PIN numbers, shouldn't be a problem.

How did you pair the device without a PIN? The BT pair is always requiring something there.

This might just work but I'll have to try it when I get home. Thanks!!
If you could give me a pointer I'd appreciate it. I'm always being required for a pin on the Nexus 7. Are you stock or on a different rom?
I'm stock rooted with no other mods.

My BT mouse doesn't have a PIN just a button on the bottom.
Switch it on, push the 'pair' button and the N7 just pairs.
I've just run through the process twice to be 100% sure. It definitely paired without having to enter a PIN
Gigabyte GM-M7700B
I've always used "0000" to pair my bluetooth mice with Android devices - never had any issues.
Just tried it with my Nexus 7 (Logitech Bluetooth mouse) and it worked perfectly...
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Tapatalk 2
Update: It's working this morning following the same steps that caused the pin number popup the day before. Nothing has changed with my N7 and I haven't rebooted. We'll just call this "user error".
Thanks!!
Having the same issue. Might have to break down and get a mouse that is known to work with the Nexus.
Just got my Razer ProClick mouse to work with SGS3.
At first SGS3 software always promted me for a PIN code and I know that my mouse has none. It wouldn't allow me to input a blanck code...
What I did was I connected a normal USB mouse (well, not really normal - a Cyborg RAT 7 lol) via a micro USB to USB cable then disconnected it. Then I simply tried pairing the Bluetooth mouse again and it didn't ask me for any PIN code! It just paired automatically. Must have picked up some mouse drivers via USB from another mouse, I don't know.... but it works flawlessly now.
Maybe someone will find it helpful...

Actually I found this "plugging in a USB mouse" trick only to work on Android 4.0.4. It stopped working on Jelly Bean.
But good news! There's already been an issue brought up to Google and someone found a sollution (not Google) https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=26041#c33
