Is there a rom, that has Bluetooth HID built in? I see only Cyanogen roms have this feature. Are there any others? Also why is it that other don’t have this option in their roms? Is this something on Cyan team has ever figured out? I'm not fluent in Linux, so I’m just asking..

Also can anyone figure out how to get our Epic 4g devices to see ad hoc connections? I want to connect my Epic to my Ipad running MyWi
Curious why you need HID when you have a keyboard. Just want a bigger keyboard? And then really is it that usable on a small screen?...just curious.
THere are a few apps in the market place that appear to offer HID support to an extent. Cyanogens ROM works with HID because they wrote an entire BT Stack just for his rom - all of their stuff is compiled from their own source tree. Most of the roms you see here are bits an pieces pulled from several places, and a lot of it is not even necessarily compiled by the devs here.
And Ad-Hoc so far has been a no go - Not sure why you would us mywi or what it is - its used on a mac so its instantly out of my realm. There just doesn't seem to be alot of interest in connecting to an adhoc from an internet enabled phone....its usually the other way around.
Ad hoc compliant has been made available on other android devices. I want to tether to my iPad wifi connection, since I can't get a decent signal on my sprint phone here in the office. that way I could use the market and other Internet features... None of the market apps enable hid...
Thread moved to General.
Guess no one cares about this...
I have looked but can't find a solution. I have the transformer 101 tablet and can't get it to connect to my tmobile mytouch 4g. I'm posting in this forum because I can get the tablet to connect to my computer so I figure it has something to do with the phone. I'm trying to get a bluetooth connection so I can tether. I don't use much data but I'd like to know I could do it with the tablet and make a connection if wifi not around. I have rooted and installed stock Android 2.3.4. I don't know much about Bluetooth or WIFi but from my readings I'm think it might have something to do with PAN BT profile. If this is the case, is this a software thing? Is their a ROM that has the PAN BT profile? I like some of the Sense Apps so I'd like to stay with a stable Sense ROM. I'd like to be able to stream Navigator when I need it or brows the internet while waiting in the parking lot for my husband. Yes I can do it on the phone but my eyes are bad and a larger screen is so nice. I don't come anywhere near a GB of data each month...just want to be able to connect when sitting in my car and give myself a bigger screen.
I must be missing something here. Why not install wifi tether or one of the myriad sense 3.5 ROMS in the dev section that ALL have a working wifi hotspot?
Well my thinking may be wrong on how Bluetooth and wifi work but I was thinking there isn't always a wifi connection, but there would always be a signal with bluetooth connecting the tablet to the phones 3G and 4G. I was hoping that, if tablet paired to phone when traveling, I could use the bigger screen on the tablet and navigation would run like on the phone. I'd like to use the tablet as much as possible and I'm thinking that in the country there wouldn't be any wifi hotspots. Sorry if I've got this all wrong. Most of the time I would use wifi and I've only used that at home or work....never hotspots.
As far as ROM's go, I was thinking of the Virtuous Affinity or Unity ROM's but didn't know if they were going to give me the bluetooth connection I was looking for. I can't remember but thought I read that you couldn't do some things in 3.5 that you could do with ealier versions. Do you know why the tablet can't connect with the MyTouch? Is it the PAN BT profile. I know the tablet doesn't do adhoc. Sorry but I did try to read up on it. I was just thinking of the message I see. They are paired but they wont connect. I click on the bluetooth device but it doesn't connect
I've tried to understand what your asking but I'm still confused. Are you trying to make a wifi hotspot off your phone, then connect your transformer to the hotspot, to use the internet?
If I helped, give thanks, if you please.

There a couple things wrong with this post 1) the tablet does support and use AD-HOC tethering. I know that for a fact because I've had people connect to my home network via my tablet just to show off. Pretty embarrassing making them use my Android Tablet to connect their iPad to my home network. 2) If you are just wanting to use your tablet as a navigation unit, use the Google maps while you are connected to WiFi to find directions to where you want to go, then press the navigate button. It'll work w/o a data signal. I've done it several times. 3) you don't need blue-tooth to bridge the Tablet to the phone. This doesn't work like Blackberries and the playbook. You can use the Wi-Fi Tether .apk from Google's source code to do just that. [http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list] 4) There has to be a blue tooth stack installed on the Phone, and on the Tablet that will allow them to share blue tooth connections for Internet. I have TF101 and have yet to find such a BT stack.
Hi All,
I understand that the wifi gets disabled during enabling the portable Hotspot in Android (also looked in to the source code to find the same). Í wish to know why the wifi has tó be disabled. I would be very glad to get some detailed Explanation as I am not very experienced in Networking concepts and cant figure it out myself.
Thanks
I am totally new to Android Head units. Mine will be delivered on Monday. As I research them I can see that I will need a full-time internet connection to the head unit to get all I can out of it. Being totally upfront, I really don't understand how that happens. I read about Bluetooth connections to my phone, 3G dongles, wifi hotspots. I know this is so rudimentary. It must be because I cannot find it explained anywhere. Can someone explain this please?
My android head unit doesn't seem to be able to autouconnect to wifi. Here is my settings:
I use an iPhone iOS 13.1 with bluetooth connection. That works fine as its autoconnects when turning on the head unit. To engagen the phones Wifi I have to toggle the "hot spot on /off " on the phone as the head unit will not fint it otherwise.
As I understand the Iphone doesn't seem to be able to connect as the hot spot setting changes to off in the same time the Iphone autoconnects to a Wifi-network.
Any workarounds?
Im thankful for all suggestions.
Greetings from Sweden
From what I understand, an iPhone needs to be on the WiFi Hotspot screen to be able to allow other devices to connect.
I'm sure it's a security thing. However, it is annoying if you're trying to use the device as a hotspot. Android doesn't behave in this way.
I'm not an iPhone expert so maybe others will have another idea. My thought is to either purchase a dedicated hotspot (they make some that are also OBD readers, offer keyless entry, etc) or switch to an Android device.
