I read here
androidforums.com/htc-incredible/88993-gamepad-microusb-bluetooth-incredible.html
that the gamepro gamepad works with HTC incredible using their latest drivers.
Can anyone verify??
GamePro - Android Trial is the app and such
He said he used this
MSI BGP100 bluetooth gamepad.
Thanks!
Yes it works, I think he is charging a bit much though, ten dollars for a cheap ass driver?
Really? Ive been looking all over for a bluetooth gamepad solution and several other Incredible owners have told me directly the msi-bgp pad and that app do not work. We simply dont have the right bluetooth stack on our phones.
Well, mymobilegear.com/showthread.php?t=18203&page=2
The guy says he got it to work on incredible using their new beta software. Someone try it out for me? They are giving away beta keys for testing.

Is there anyway to enable SPP Bluetooth profile on the Incredible . I need it so I can pair it with a Bluetooth gamepad I have that uses spp .

Any ideas ? Or is there another Bluetooth controller I could use on the incredible ?
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
I have this same need. I have a bluetooth GPS that uses SPP and I cannot connect it to my phone. Sucks!
From what I can tell HTC Desire also had its SPP stack disabled: android.modaco.com/content/htc-desire-desire-modaco-com/307447/updating-the-buggy-bluetooth-stack-of-the-desire/
For the Desire, it looks like after it was rooted, some people were able to use the Nexus One stack.
I bought the gamepro app from the market which is supposed to act as a driver for the bgp100 on Android phones but it won't recognize my incredible when I try to pair it . I emailed the.guy who made the app to see if it supports the incredible and he said I need to follow the instructions under native api which I have yet to find on his site . I heard the bgp100 works on the nexus one so it should work on the incredible right ?

Seeing as our phone has Sense UI and the Nexus One does not, I would not presume that things that work on the Nexus One also work on the Incredible.
Very true . I hope we can root soon so maybe I can fix this
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
Even the BGP 1000 doesnt work??! Man, looks like root is our only option then for a spp solution.
So, HTC support has not been able to confirm or deny SPP support. They mainly just tell me that they can only recommend Bluetooth voice devices. I tried contacting HTC USA HQ, but they never returned my voicemails. At this point I have given up on HTC explaining why SPP is not working on the HTC Incredible, and will probably just return the phone.
Nope the Bgp 100 does not work . Won't pair with the incredible . Love the phone otherwise . Is there anyone working on using a ps3 controller on the incredible or a wiimote.

Hi Everyone,
I called HTC HQ USA (425-679-5318) and left a message with one their Product Support Managers for North America. The Product Support manager responded to me by email, and I gave him the details of my BT problems He has promised to forward my issue on to the engineering team.
I have not heard back from engineering, but HTC Product Support has told me that Droid Incredible does support SPP.
They have not explained why SPP is not working on my particular device. They have not indicated if they will further investigating my SPP issue or ever provide a fix.
Long story short, if you want an official patch you may want to call HTC HQ, and file your request with them. Maybe additional reports of BT problems will encourage them to find a fix.
Got a few questions here. I am on rooted android 2.2. Has anyone used the zeemote or msi bgp100 gamepad with the dell streak? There are zeemote drivers on the android market and also something called gamepro drivers for android for both of those controllers but I wanted to c if anyone had them up and running on dell streak b4 I order one off the inet. Also if u have tried the zeemote or used one before will the streak fit in the middle of it? It has a clamp thing.
Next question. Ive got the wiimote connected to my streak and it is awesome to say the least but I was borrowing my roommates. I went out and got a nyko wand but it is not connecting. Has anyone tried one of these and got it working? Can u plug the classic controller into the wiimote and use that also? Can u use the wireless classic controller and does this also have to b nintendo brand? Asking cause the wiimote doesnt have enough buttons to play a lot of snes games. Asking about wireless cause it seems like a hassle to have a controller connected to a controller to play on dell streak that is also why im looking into the zeemote and msi gamepad.

I'm still waiting on my Streak. I guess I shouldn't have ordered the red one but anyway when I get it I plan on getting this:
youtube.com/watch?v=Hd-bw5UxxsA&feature=related
Datel wireless wiimote.
At first I was trying to get the bgp100 msi pad but it is impossible to get as it was produced in 2005 and is apparently out of production.
But the Datel wiimote is better anyway. 20 bucks on ebay last I checked
Glad I'm not the only person thinking about using the Streak for games.
I use the wiimote with the classic attached (all original nintendo), works magic, kick ass on Street Fighter 2
I'm curious if anyone knows when we'll get bluetooth mouse support for the Xoom. When I got my xoom it looked like mouse support was imminent, some of the threads in this forum said so. I think most people were saying that mouse support would come in an update at the end of April. Anyways, now I'm reading the forums again and some folks are saying that it may never happen.
I really need to be able to use this thing as a business tool to justify the cost, but without keyboard and mouse support, I'm not going to get there anytime soon. I'm seriously thinking about jumping ship for the Transformer, but I really like my Xoom and don't want to ditch only to discover that they're implementing the mouse support soon.
So, anyone know when/if mouse support is coming?
I'm on stock ROM; waiting to jailbreak after the LTE upgrade (and when I have more time to figure it out!).
Thanks!
Mouse support was mentioned in the announcement for the upcoming update but we have no date as to when it will be pushed, so the answer is "imminent".

So you're saying that it will definitely be implemented, the only question now is "when." Why are these companies so secretive about this stuff? I can keep this thing as a toy for a bit longer, but I really need to know how it performs as a business tool soon!
An educated guess would be within 30 days.

Hows that a trick? I have a Microsoft BT mouse working with Xoom. 3.1 brought the functionality.
Microsoft Mouse 5000 works great with mine. You have to get a mouse that has a built in pin code. The 5000 does, and some of the logitech mouses do.

That's what I mean by "marketing trick" . There is a dozen of mouses that work with 3.1 but I think Verbatim is the first to officially announce a xoom compatible mouse. Being "compatible" doesn't mean anything since that official announcement doesn't say how much compatible is it (eg. gestures).
Logitech Has It Going ON
I'm not sure what has been preceding before I place this entry. I just wanted folks to know that the Logitech V470 Bluetooth Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks works extremely well with my XOOM since the new update was given to us. All I had to do was put the batteries in, turn it on and hit the 'connect' button. The XOOM found it, paired and connected with it and all of the mouse's functions work just great on the XOOM. Now don't get me wrong, I love being able to use this without a mouse and keyboard - when I'm on the go. However, when I'm at my office behind my desk, I have my bluetooth keyboard & mouse and it's a joy at the job. I keep my XOOM stocked with tunes to keep me going through the day - and thanks to the new Google Music beta, my XOOM is working overtime. If nothing else ever gets fixed with these, I'm already happy. Thanks to the devs here at XDA, my SD card works and now I have all the other parts functioning.
Usb mouse works. Tried last night
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
works beautiful with the magic mouse
I just ran across this post so I thought I'd give the mouse thing a try. Afterall, it's a great idea. So... I have a bluetooth mouse that I bought with the accessory kit for the Motorola Atrix phone (motorola bluetooth keyboard and mouse). I successfully paired and used both the keyboard and the mouse. Works great! Other bluetooth keyboards and mice should work also. This may be old news, but that's my two cents.
I have a MS Bluetooth mouse and keyboard.
Mouse: Lasermouse 8000
Keyboard: Entertainment Keyboard 7000
Both work great.
Hi guys
So I'm a proud owner of the iControlPad (http://www.icontrolpad.com/) and its a totally awesome device already working very good through an App called BluezIME.
Anyway in the ICP forums there is this Thread about an iphone App called Blutrol.
Here's a link with some info about it:
http://www.ringwald.ch/cydia/blutrol/
Now what this app does, is simulating touch input. So if you hit a button on the gamepad, it's like you would hit the touchscreen in a specific place (configurable). Thus making real Gamepad controls compatible with many many games in the market (there are still some limitations).
I think this would be great on Android. There are lots of different gamepads out already, and many companies are advertising the Gamepad compatibility of their devices like the Asus Transformer Prime.
Sadly i have no idea how to port/develop something like that but I'd definately pay for it!
Sixaxis controller.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
yeah, sixaxis controler is what you are looking for. you can also download mappings for many popular gamer here on xda ready to play
Thx for your replies. I checked out the app, but as i understand it its strictly for use with the sixaxis controller. I was looking for something a bit more "universal" so i can map buttons from any bluetooth controller including the ICP.
It would be cool to be able to map android keyboard input to the touchscreen. Because then its automatically possible to use several devices that use keyboard input. Not sure if this is possible with the sixaxis app.
And i'm not really prepared to buy a ps3 controller because i dont own a ps3
Lol yeah u should try contacting them. See how they did it etc
Sent from my good old Galaxy S II. Hit thx if u think i helped and may the force be with u.
Still looking
I agree that this would be great! Sorry to dig up an old thread, but anybody seen anything like this yet? I'm hoping to use it with the Impulse Controller I just backed on Kickstarter...
There is an app now for this, its universal and supports keyboard mouse and virtually anything else, its called USB/BT joystick center 7 it is 5 bucks and slightly confusing to use, but it does work.
Other flagships have hardware that support this - does the Nexus and is Android 4.2 likely to support it? (4.1 does not).
Why is it useful? Well if you use a heart rate monitor for sports, it will last longer. It can also be used to connect devices.
It's a huge feature for me as a runner. Currently I use a Garmin 305 which is an awesome, if ugly, product. With apps like strava / endomondo and more, it would be nice to have all this, with GPS and music on one device
I believe Bluetooth 4.0 is present on this device. Check the spec sheet on Google Play, but I'm 99.99% sure.
The hardware is present for Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) but as yet, no version of Android supports it.
There is an issue thread on google regarding this - if people star it google might treat the issue as a priority.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=33371
I think google is looking to NFC for nearfield communication forgetting some of the cool uses bluetooth can be put to.

The Broadcom BCM4330 supports BTLE (http://www.broadcom.com/press/release.php?id=s549642), and according to this website: http://www.ubmtechinsights.com/repo...market-reports/Report-Profile/?ReportKey=8713
The LG Optimus G uses that Broadcom chip, so it's possible that the Nexus 4 also uses it?
According to the newly updated Android 4.2 changelog: http://developer.android.com/about/versions/jelly-bean.html
Android 4.2 introduces a new Bluetooth stack optimized for use with Android devices. The new Bluetooth stack developed in collaboration between Google and Broadcom replaces the stack based on BlueZ and provides improved compatibility and reliability.

I sure hope that we will have BTLE support with the Nexus 4. I really want to buy a Polar H7 HRM!
I'm glad someone else is concerned
It doesn't look too good. Although they have rewritten the stack, there is no mention of Bluetooth Low Energy or Bluetooth Smart.
Apart from the issue raised with google in my first post, I have no idea how to reach out to them regarding this. Does anyone know? This is Android general rather than device specific. Pretty much all the new handsets have hardware that support BLE but there is no OS support in Android
At last - some hope. Although there is no ETA, looks like we can hope for BLE support in Android 4.3
"BLE will be the next major feature we are going to add."
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/android-platform/CYtxCmtZ-WI/aIzBq7KbKVUJ
Any updates on the BLE support? I am working on a BLE breakout board and would like to get it working with the Nexus 4 rather than just the computer via a dongle. From what I've found online there is a BLE stack in 4.2, yet for some reason I can't find it or get anything to work.
What exactly would this do? I understand the low energy stuff, but I don't see what else it has, and whether we have to enable it first, or something.

BLE is a wireless protocol that peripheral devices can use to interface with your phone. Somewhat similar to regular bluetooth (and other proprietary wireless links), it can allow a sensor to wirelessly stream data or allow a phone to control a robot or any other device with BLE. I'm not sure if that answers your question. The real benefit is that BLE uses significantly less power (upon other things) and thus can enable a new set of devices. For example, part of my dissertation is a cardiac monitoring system which I would like to connect to my Nexus 4.
Any news?
Hi guys,
Are there any news on Bluetooth 4.0 / smart ready on the Nexus 4 and maybe 4.2.2 yet?
Was someone already able to pair the Nexus 4 with the Polar H7?
Maybe I'll order one and try if it works by now.
Thanks for your answers anyway. :good:
I have the same question about BLE.

Would love to play with the Stick-n-Find and/or Meterplug. And upgrade my Fitbit to the Bluetooth 4.0 version so I don't have to keep plugging that stupid dongle into my laptop.

Arrrghg - your post is what I found when searching for Fitbit, which I just bought. Very frustrating our N4's can't support the BT connection yet. I also hate that stupid dongle!
The new Fitbits use BLE too? Wow, Google need to get Android caught up, really never expect them to be behind with technologies.
So, should I send my H7 back, or wait???
Google finally started looking into BLE two days ago. See the bottom of this page:

I just bought a Fitbit One which uses BLE. I'm with you guys in hoping Google gets this feature added and supported very soon. It would be really nice!
This will be addressed with K release.

I wonder which one will come out first. The Fitbit Flex or a Nexus 4 update with BLE.
I'm hoping it's coming soon, I just ordered a bunch of Motes to instrument my house...
