A500 can't find Bluetooth headphones - Acer Iconia A500

Just bought a Motorola S10-HD Bluetooth headset but my Acer a500 can't find it. Anyone else having problems with Bluetooth? Know a fix?

Can you take them back?
Contrary to popular belief, some bluetooth devices are not compatible with some Android products. Just like with Windows.
Are you rooted? Custom Rom?

Unfortunately I tossed the packaging, so returning is not an option. It works fine with my LG Revo so I'm fine with keeping it. Just a little bummed that it won't work with my a500. I'm rooted running kjy's honeylicious icy faux rom. I doubt its the rom, likely incompatability issues like you said. Thanks for the reply.

Not sure why they don't work for you. I have the same pair and they work fine.

What rom are you using?

Finally got it to see, pair and connect! I didn't realize I had to make the a500 discoverable for it to find the headset. Can anyone say brainfart.

Miui rom and no TV out anymore

Miui rom and I love it. Finally my GPS works but now my TV out doesn't even recognize its connected. Any body have any ideas
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
maybe try looking in the topic where you downloaded the rom from it's probably something that doesn't work on the rom yet, I would suggest trying another rom if it doesn't

TV out does not work on any AOSP roms.

Those of you running 2.2, wiimote?

For anyone running a 2.2 rom and new modem, can you link to a wiimote? I'm curious if the BT stack has been changed.

Nope, none of the wiimote apps work still. Would be cool though.

Tv out and the bluetooth stack fix are the two most vital changes I am waiting for. I hear that CM 6 will fix the bluetooth.

ROM that works with HID keyboard?

Hey everybody,
Just a quick question. Any SD builds out there that support a bluetooth HID keyboard? I tried three so far and they aren't even pairing. This is my killer app and it's a bit of a downer....
I believe cm7 had it
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
That's what I thought too...but it's not pairing even though the same keyboards work on my other devices. The folks following the AmeriCanAndroid ROM says it's a known issue but not much discussion has occurred that I can find.
I'll see if I can borrow some "brand-name" keyboards like the Apple Wireless or something...
Soundds good

Sixaxxis Controller Capatability

It's a new app that lets you bluetooth your PS3 controller to your Android phone, but only works on devices / software implementations that support the protocol.
Any ROMs that work with this? I'm running ACS Frozen 1.1, no luck.

General info:

Short story: This lets you use the PS3 controller as a controller for your emulator of choice (NES, SNES, N64, PS One, etc), for your non-gimpy Starfox 64 delight.
Wow, this would be an awesome toy.
Just tried it on EPICUREAN SCrAMbLED EGgs22 v4 and no go :'( "Error: Missing required protocol".
I wonder exactly what protocol is needed, and how hard it would be to port to different hardware platforms (like ours).
From their site <10char>:
Additionally, it is incompatible with most HTC devices and some newer Samsung devices. This is due to the required bluetooth protocol not being implemented on these devices. We are actively looking into a work around, but currently the only solution is to install a custom firmware, such as Cyanogenmod, that supports the required protocols.

It shouldn't be ROM-dependent per 'se, but I was curious if it was fixed in EG22. Apparently not.

Touchwiz (& Sense) uses a different bluetooth stack that won't work, you need to be on an AOSP ROM (CM7)

Bump, if this works I'm buying a ps3 controller
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
Thank god this is finally an option. Not being able to use my PS3 controller on SNES ROMs was really the only thing I missed from my Touch Pro 2...
I wonder if this works on the Nexus S???
/I also hope the dev plans to sell the app on the Amazon App store!!

From what I have read in their forums, it works fine. I'd link ya but I'm on mobile at the moment. Thread can be found under General / PS3 controller works on Nexus S 4G 2.3.5 rooted stock rom.

So does anyone know how hard it would be to implement the standard android stack into custom roms. Is it simply a matter of switching the files or are there a lot of communication issues to deal with when changing bluetooth stacks. As I recall there was a custom stack built for my old touch pro that hadn't been too difficult for someone of decent knowledge to make, so hopefully its a similar situation.

It would take significant hacking.
Bluetooth is built into standard android (AOSP) via BlueZ. Samsung with their TouchWiz uses a custom stack instead. TouchWiz pretty much infests every android file.
CM7, whenever it becomes stable, should fix it, being AOSP.

Just one more reason I can't wait for CM7 to be fully functional (heck, I would be happy with everything but 4G & WiFi)

Anyone tried this with CM7 (10-22)?

Yeah.
Both the Sixaxxis and the Wiimote applications work.
I was playing Muffin Knight with the Wiimote this weekend.

Using a laptop keyboard with the A500

Is there any way to use my laptop keyboard with the A500?
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using XDA Premium App
Have you looked at droid vnc (don't know if there is something else similar). I thought I saw another app that would also work, but haven't tried anything yet.
I did. I couldn't get DroidVNC to run on the tablet without crashing.

Ugh, sorry, I was planning to try it out myself but hadn't had a chance yet. There is another thread on androidforums about this also with some possible usable apps:

You dan do it wit WiFiKeyboard that is in the market
Just tried that wifikeyboard and seems to work well for me. hopefully it is what the OP was looking for too
I use it to get cheats in gta 3 ;p
There is this... haven't tried it.. http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...blet-android-phone-your-pc-other-android.html
And other than that I have a Microsoft keyboard that has a little 2.4 ghz dongle and it works great. Mouse works too. If you really want the keyboard-tablet experience. Lags in not-native roms.. perfect in gmail, talk and a few others.. My two cents.
And of course there's always the transformer..
