Hi, I'm pretty inexperienced with using bluetooth networks, but I think that it should be possible.
I have a bluetooth dongle attached to my PC which works, no I want to join the network using my PDA.
I tried it on Gentoo Linux, using the hciconfig, hcitool and rfcomm utilities.
But I just cannot get it to work.
This is what I tried to do:
Code:
hades ~ # hciconfig hci0 up
hades ~ # hcitool scan
Scanning ...
00:28:0F:6F:9D:7A Nokia 6111
00:42:67:B1:F5:E3 Universal
hades ~ # rfcomm bind 0 00:12:37:B1:C5:E3 1
After that, I switched to my device, and went to:
Start->Settings->Connections->Bluetooth->Devices
And tried to connect to my workstation.
It is discovered all right. By selecting it and proceeding, I can enter a PIN on both sides.
After that, I can select the services my workstation offers (none), so I just click on "Finish".
I also tried the other way, using "rfcomm connect" and "hcitool auth". There was even a reaction on the PDA site, but I still wasn't able to reach my workstation by any means.
How does this work at all?
I basically want to use putty or VNC to connect to my workstation and control my music player. I dual boot windows, so I'd be fine with a windows solution for this as well.
Excuse my noobieness, but I have been searching the last two days and couldn't get any further than this.

Please do follow my articles, I've explained all the BT PAN (Personal Area Network)-related issues at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=282780
In a nutshell: if you have an AKU3 ROM on your Univ AND you also have GPRS subscription, you can connect via BT PAN. Otherwise, you must use Wi-Fi p2p.
Hello!
If you like to play games on gtab you know that touchscreen isn't very comfortable. The best way to play is of course pad but our gtab don't recognize them (even with usb/bt joypad studio). Hopefully ketut.kumajaya share with us way to get xbox 360 wireless pad working for free. I've got permissions to share this tutorial.
It's tested on blackhawk's NEXT kernel with cm10.1 but it should work with other kernels/roms too (not tested).
1. What we need?
- USB otg cable (I've got cheap, chinese otg cable and it works great )
- wireless xbox 360 pad with usb reciver for pc (this won't work if you plug cable to wireless pad, I've tested that)
- root
- any root explorer
- package from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43869309&postcount=544 (don't forget to thank him )
2. What we need to do?
- unzip package
- grab ff-memless.ko, joydev.ko, xpad.ko and put it to /data/local/tmp/ with root explorer or adb
- open terminal and type:
su
insmod /data/local/tmp/ff-memless.ko
insmod /data/local/tmp/xpad.ko
insmod /data/local/tmp/joydev.ko
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- type lsmod in terminal to check modules are installed properly
- plug otg cable to reciver
- plug reciver with otg cable to tab (led should turn on)
- turn on and sync pad with reciver
- enjoy
3. Bugs?
- big x led on pad is still flashing (not like it work with pc or xbox)
5. Notes:
- after every reboot you need to instal modules again but you can add insmod commads to: /system/etc/init.d/02modules
- you can control interface with it left stick - secect, x,y - press, back - menu, start - home, a,b - back
6. Thanks:
- big thanks to ketut.kumajaya for all his work
- big thanks for all people who work on modules
This actually works for me! Thanks

Hi everybody.
Just got my Fire TV this weekend and started to play around with it. I bought just the fire TV as the Bluetooth Gamepad was not available yet.
As I'd like to use Fire TV for videos as well as for games I started to look for options regarding the second part.
I had a Xbox 360 Receiver + Controller laying around here and decided to give a try.
I'm glad to say that it worked almost flawlessly (the only problem if the controller's led that don't stop to blink. But the controller is functional and I can control the interface and games with it.
I'd like to ask if there is a way to make this led blinking stop and possibly do some remaps for the keys.
It would also be great if you could post information about other controllers that worked as well.
Here is some log information: http://pastebin.com/Z9ubtrHj
Edit: I found this thread, and thought it might be a fix if we had root, but we already have a config file for it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792531
edit2: You can see all the IO devices Fire TV can work with by looking at the files at /system/usr/keylayout/

Anyoine have any luck with the Nyko Playpad? I assumed that since the PlayPad Pro was listed in the UI, that I would have similar luck with the PlayPad, but I haven't been able to discover the Playpad at all.

LOL. I have been using my Ouya but it has the touch required issue that other controllers have. The Nyko shouldn't.

Cool. I called the closest Gamestop and they told me they had them. Luckily I called again before I made the 150 mile round trip and it turned out they weren't the new ones.
Logitech F710 works
plug in the usb wireless receiver and it gets recognized almost instantly
Has anyone had luck with a Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2?
http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/287

When I plug the receiver into my Fire TV, I can see it light up in response to me pressing buttons on the controller, just like it does attached to a PC, but I don't get any input.

The Nyko PlayPad Pro's I picked up from Gamestop work great in the FireTV. Flawleess.
Have John NES and Mame4Droid installed but having some keymap issues, still working through them.
John NES got it working pretty good, but not much progress in Mame4Droid / Mame4All.
Also, the Logitech Dinovo works nice, keypad and buttons navigate, keyboard works.

Does it feel solid? Buttons feel good?
Also, what issues are you having with MAME? Select "Configure General Inputs" below the ROM list and you can map buttons on your controller. Or are you trying something more complicated?
Does anyone have tried the chatpad of the xbox 360 controller to see if it works as a keyboard?

that's a pretty good idea I had forgotten all about those - last time I looked at them was years ago and they were still way over priced. but now they are dirt cheap - I ordered a couple just now, since I can use them for other things even if it doesn't work on the firetv.
sorry I don't have any answer, but I will eventually, if no one else has reported back before mine are delivered. I can say that the headset doesn't work (no surprise there, really -- no usb audio works on the firetv yet)
I have one but my controller is wireless and i need a dongle, im deciding to buy the dongle or a mini keyboard

My generic dongle works. As previously stated some where else the circle around the xbox button flashes constantly but it doesn't interfere in any way with gameplay. I have not tried with more than one xbox controllers but the emulators I've loaded recognize 4 spots as being available.
Currently trying to implement a net-booted RPi3b+ network and there is an auxiliary board to these pi's I've had printed. The auxiliary board has a classic DS18B20 among other things to monitor the temperature of the box the rpi and aux board are contained in.
The issue is, when I use a netbooted pi I cannot get any devices to show up (including the w1_bus_master1) when I access /sys/bus/w1/devices. See below,
HTML:
[email protected]:/etc $ cd /sys/bus/w1/devices/
[email protected]:/sys/bus/w1/devices $ ls -l
total 0
I know that my circuit is correct as it works when I boot the RPi from an SD card with the same image of raspbian as the netbooted image. On the netbooted rpi I see the 1-wire processes running for w1-therm and w1-gpio.
HTML:
lsmod
Module Size Used by
w1_therm 16384 0
w1_gpio 16384 0
wire 40960 2 w1_gpio,w1_therm
I have a NFS mount which holds the config.txt file containing the dtoverlay=w1-gpio,gpiopin=4
I'm pulling my hair out a bit here, really would like to maintain the netbooting capability as this implementation is preferred to last and is across 30+ pi's, don't want to be pissing about the sd cards.
Cheers
We've had USB host mode working on the NST using a bit of poking with my UsbMode.apk
I just figured out how to get it working on the Glow2 (and it will probably work on the Glow3, though I haven't tried it yet) and it works fine on the Glow3 also.
USB host mode means that you can connect USB accessories like keyboards, audio, flash drives.
The simple stuff (like keyboards or an HID device) works easily, some of the other stuff might need work.
I quickly checked a flash drive and the drivers loaded, so at most it's a question of getting it mounted.
The current downside is that we can't get power out of the Glows.
That means that you need to use a back-powering hub.
You still need an OTG adapter (or at least a reversing cable) to connect the Glow to the input port of the hub.
To see this for yourself is simple if you have busybox installed.
This turns host mode on:
Code:
# busybox devmem 0x20e03d0 32 0x130b1
This turns host mode off:
Code:
# busybox devmem 0x20e03d0 32 0x1b0b1
You can use my UsbMode.apk (in the signature) to see the USB tree, although I haven't added the above poking to the app yet.
I made a daemon that allows playing with this pin padctrl without you having to lower the protection on /dev/mem
I added the option to a private build of UsbMode and it works fine switching into usb host mode.
Unfortunately, even though the bit twiddling back to peripheral mode works just fine, the USB gadget stuff is screwed up.
So, in short, if you wanted to use this (not yet released), you could dock and push a button to go to host mode, but you'd need to reboot to get it working on peripheral and ADB.
