Does anyone know if the issue with using a bluetooth mouse is a Honeycomb thing? Aside from the standard 'I can pair but not connect' issue I have dropped in some hci tools that allow me to use terminal to detect and then connect the BT mouse via the mac address. I know that it's getting connected but the tab doesn't display the cross hairs.
Do we know if this is a driver issue with 3.0?
Sorry to technical for me but I'd like to ask you something. I can pair my Droid with my tab but it doesn't connect what's the difference between connected and not connected. I was able to transfer a photo off my phone to the tab.

I've never tried to transfer files across BT, I just always email them or use dropbox. sorry I cant help with that one.
@it2steve,
can you give a quick how-to to get the BT mouse connected? I've been trying, but it only says "Paired but not connected". I have the MouseHack.apk (from another thread) installed, but it's not seeing the device.

Tethering is the thing I miss most - and the reason I still carry my g1 with my laptop.
I have heard that htc sync offers connection shareing - but I use linux.
What does everyone else use? Hopefully there is one of you out there with a good linux solution

I was using Proxoid with my BH2 with Ubuntu. It wasn't fun to set up, but it worked well.
On this note, anyone get Bluetooth DUN working on win7 via PDAnet?

I don't know if there's a solution for linux, but I had been using PdaNet with my G1 before I got the slide. I assume that it would still work. You should check it out in the market.

same question here. i'm probably just confused with the setup tho =[
does the help
Straight from junefabrics the ppl that made pdanet
Bluetooth DUN does not require installing anything on the computer end. So it supports all operating systems. You can install the phone piece directly from Android market.
After enabling Bluetooth DUN in PdaNet, you need to pair your computer with the phone. Use the Bluetooth configuration software on the computer end to look for the Android pone and pair with its "Dial-up networking" service. After that your bluetooth software should create a new dialup network connection over the Bluetooth modem. Use "123" as the phone number and blank username/password.
Again make sure you connect using the Bluetooth software that comes with your computer. Do not use the PdaNet Desktop client which is only for USB connection.
Since different systems come with different Bluetooth configuration software, you can simply Google "Bluetooth Dun setup instructions on YOUR_COMPUTER_OS_NAME" if you need more help.
also it says on there that only dun works on linux but u will have to to website for that
easy tether??
Has anyone tried to use easy tether? it automatically sets up tether through usb not sure if it works haven't tested it.

Saw this, but didn't work. Plus i think 123 is for Sprint, TMO is *99#, I think.
I have used both easytether and PDANet free version. They both work about the same. you install one app on the phone and hook up via usb to the computer and the computer downloads the drivers needed. very fast and easy setup and besides installing an app and plugging in usb cable you don't have to do anything. It worked great for me but it does require you connect via usb so would not be wireless by any means. I was connecting to a windows 7 computer.
figured out the bluetooth dun w/ pdanet.
if you've already tethered via usb, you should have 'PdaNet Modem' in your network connections.
right-click into its properties.
under the General tab & Connect using: , you should see the option 'Standard Modem over Bluetooth link #_'. make sure it is checked.
and the phone number is 123. username/password left blank.
apply all changes.
open pdanet on phone.
enable bluetooth dun.
it should pair the two.
connect to PdaNet Modem on computer

I used to have a Tilt2 and was able to connect two bluetooth speakers at once which is great for the beach. My Atrix disconnects one as I connect the other. Is there a way to have multiple bluetooth connections on android?
Sent from my Atrix
Bumping this. Sorry.
Sure would love to connect multiple bluebooth devices at once...
Is it just not possible?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I would say yes it is possible, there are many videos depicting the use of a Bluetooth keyboard and a Bluetooth mouse.
no, not with the way Atrix does it.
Seems that if you have one type of device connected, it disconnects the first to connect the second. Or so it does with headphones.
Now, my question is: if they are different brands, will it matter? I don't have a different brand here to test.
I try to pair my phone but It says " paired but not connected " and no option to connect
I get the same thing. It looks like it doesn't have any usable profiles i.e. my headphones shows phone audio and media audio profiles. My BT Keyboard (obviously) shows a keyboard profile. There are no profiles showing for the EVO tho.
The only way I can get my MT4G running CM7 to connect is using wifi tether in bluetooth mode. They coonect easily then. Without it I can get them to pair but not connect.

Unpair the phone from the xoom.
Open wireless tether
turn on bluetooth tethering
open settings
make device discoverable
re-pair devices
then the correct profile will appear.

Well i am not trying to connect for that, im trying to use the xoom as speakers or transfer files or something else.
do i need to run a external app to have them connect after being paired?
When im running a SENSE based rom and not cm7 and i connect via bluetooth on my laptop for instance it will let me play music via my evo to my laptop lol
maybe i should try using a sense based rom and try pairing
i've gotten it to work for a file transfer once. Mikfroyo has no trouble with this though.

You should be able to transfer files after that. Sense roms wouldn't connect for me.

I was wondering if anyone has successfully been able to get their Honeycomb and/or Acer A500 to connect online with either a usb connection or with bluetooth?
I have a blackberry 8520 which i've installed pdanet on and as far as i know got it successfully running.
I was able to then pair the A500 up with the BB, but it said that it wasn't connected to the BB.
Is there an app that i should download and install on the tablet? I do have gingerbreak installed on here and this is rooted.
Thanks
Did you google that to see if usb is even possible.
PS - A5000 yours must be the model up from mine
I have been trying to Google it. From what I've seen, people have been able to connect via USB through their Android phones, by setting up an ad-hoc.
I've tried using the mini usb, but had no luck. And bluetooth pairs but doesn't connect.
I have been able to tether mine to my Samsung Galaxy and get the internet that way. I take it you can't do this with your BlackBerry. With regards to Bluetooth, I had a similar problem where it was paired with my phone but not connected. I noticed that if I sent a file from one to another it would then ask to connect and you had to give permission.
EDIT:
I don't know if this helps.

Use a USB cable or send files over WiFi using "Air droid" app.

That's like saying "take the train" to someone that has car trouble and can't get to work--not very helpful. What if they need to use bluetooth due to lack of USB cable or a wifi-capable computer? I know it's not probable, but the bluetooth capability is there and should be able to be used if desired, even if it's not the fastest data-transfer method.
I too, have the same problem, though just two days ago I was able to send files.
Can't help you much as I got Windows 8 and Ubuntu.
But I had this kind of problems often on Windows 8, I had to unpair (from device and phone) then pair them again, each time I had to switch from Linux to Windows.
Anyway, to send files by Bluetooth from windows, try this:
Right-Click on the file
Then Send to
And choose Bluetooth Device
I never opened the storage card of my nexus from bluetooth on my PC, I think the connection is not very stable.
