I bought the Logitech keyboard for my nexus and this morning I cannot pair the two? It has worked fine up until I got to class this morning. I use this feature so much that it renders this thing worthless to me. Anyone have any ideas? Can I go back to 4.1? I use this for school so much and if I can't get it paired I'm going to get rid of it because its useless without it might as well go back to a laptop.

Bought one at best buy a while ago, quickly returned it. Car mode didn't automatically launch and the 4g model is a pain to take out of the dock

I have one in my 9-3 and it works great. It gives you a lot more options for mounting.

That's why I returned it, bought some nfc chips and a generic car mount for far cheaper

Generic mounts never seem to fit as well and are unnecessarily bulky for me. I see your point though if you don't mind their size / form factor.

I love this dock it's only $49.99 (I saw it here).
Bought this @ Best Buy a few weeks ago and I like it. Very sturdy and comes with a car charger.
You could just use this one for 8.99 and from Kensington.
I've used it with my previous phone (EVO) and the Nexus S 4G, also have had random other similarly sized electronics in it (Ipod) and it works perfectly
Comes with a window mount and a vent mount...

the car dock mode didnt launch on the 4g, so i tried a regular magnet on the back of the phone to see if it the phone could even auto launch the car dock and no luck. That's a bummer but i always exited out of the car dock mode on my original droid so i dont think ill miss it.
Where can you buy a single NFC chip? i see packs of them on amazon but i only really need a couple
So I have my nice new GN2 and my nice couple month old Nexus 7 both sporting awesome NFC tech, but what to do with it? My first though was pairing them via bt and using the lte from my Note 2 over my college's sad excuse for a wifi system to power my N7 during the day. Then I though maybe auto establishing a tablettalk connection as well. Does anyone know of a way to program the two devices to automatically connect in such a way?

I know it is possible. I was talking to someone who uses Tasker and an NFC tag to automatically tether his N7 to his phone, but I've never studied the recipe.
I'm not sure why the tag, but maybe so he doesn't have to remove the phone from his belt... it's attached to his holster case. He said he has another one attached to his car seatbelt clasp to set the phone into his driving mode.
Wish I could give you more details.
Yeah that's essentially what I want to accomplish, but I'm not crazy about sticking one of those tags to my device. I was just hoping there was a way (with or without root) to make it read the NFC connection as a tag and start the connection.

I suspect that you would be able to, since NFC handles touch and go and touch and connect. I think the problem for some people would be in how strong the NFC connection is on their phone (some of them are weak) and how close together you need to get the two unitsto trigger it, especially if they are both in thick cases.
Putting them back to back could be as much work as just creating a widget to trigger a Tasker recipe that would do the same thing.
I've been thinking about doing this, too, but haven't, so I might start playing with Tasker to see whether I can set it up.
I'm going to do the same. Let me know if you discover anything

im ordering a bluetooth keyboard, but wondering would i need to attach a normal keyboard first to switch on the bluetooth setting on the android stick? or will it already be activated
please let me know.. because i am wondering how else would i control the android stick? i dont have a usb keyboard/wirleess keyboard
is there anything i can do via jailbroken iphone?
Bluetooth is typically off by default.
You will probably need a mouse and keyboard to navigate into settings and type any pairing codes. So yea you'll need something.
I recommend an RC11 Air Mouse/Keyboard ~$20

My mk809 has a really weak bluetooth receiver. It left me disappointed and Ill probably never use it as a result.

With all these new phones with the IR Blasters built in, I'm a bit jealous.
Is there anything for Android like the blinQ (iphone) that allows us to use our Nexus 4's as a TV remote?
Preferably in the same price range as the blinQ ($9.99-$14.99)
I'm not looking for something like Peel or Beacon. I prefer one I can just plug into the 3.5 mm jack and start up the app to run.
Or even better, any DIY options out there that are compatible with the universal remote apps?
AW: Looking for IR blaster options

Avoid the Zmart remote
The Zmart remote looks great but unfortunately it doesn't work with hardly any devices despite their claims. I purchased one and it does not work with the Nexus 4 or the Nexus one and looking at te app reviews in the play store I can see I am in the majority as there are very few people at all who have ever got it to work. I can't even try and find friends device it works on because you only get 2 devices licences with the zmart remote and you have buy extra to use it on any others. Avoid it at all costs.

Anyone tried it? How well does it work?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Tried the Zmart remote, did not work at all on Nexus 4. I'm really curious as well if anybody had better luck with the irdroid.
Zmart
I have tried the Zmart, it worked on my old nexus 7, never tried on the 2013 version... Never worked on my nexus 4 and never bothered trying it on my nexus 5.
Zmart... just like it doesn't work with every other phone/tablet, it only works with every other devices you wanna use. TV works ok on every other tv and the cable box / digital antena box doesn't work.
Then you can't even teach the control anything, I've tried different controllers for different TVs etc... does not learn...
I am however very curious about the IRdroid, I will have to purchase one and try it.
anything else comes up please let me know, I WANT!

I tried zmart on my nexus 6 unrooted and was actually surprised to see it work, on 4 different TVs, had to play around with volumes and signal boosters in the app to get it to work, however, the learn-in feature didn't seem to work.
How many Blue tooth devices can i have active at the same time? I just discovered I can have my keyboard and a wireless headset synced at the same time. Can I add a third device? I wanted to get rid of my OTG wired mouse and purchase a wireless mouse and leave the port open for charging. With this setup I won't have to ever carry my laptop around as this provide everything I need on a portable computer.

I've used a BT mouse and keyboard on my N7 simultaneously. Though I don't have a BT headset or stereo headphones yet, I'm willing to bet that it could be added to the mix, as it uses a different BT profile.

Bad news, for some reason my keyboard is repeating strokes. I suspect the addition of the wireless mouse had something to do with it. Anyone else experienced this before?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
A BT keyboard may repeat strokes anyway. Get 'external keyboard helper' from the play store, and you can configure things like repeat delay to help sort it out.

Thank you so much Sir! I will try this out before I return my new mouse. :highfive:
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Nope, that didn't work for me. Thanks for the suggestion! I am using a regular OTG wireless keyboard and I do not have the repeating key problem. I might buy a OTG+ charging cable in order to use my tablet as a laptop and charge it at the same time.
