[Q] Multiple Bluetooth Device Issues - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I have the Logitech Android bluetooth keyboard and a microsoft bluetooth mouse. Both of these devices work perfectly when connected alone, but when trying to connect these two devices to my Nexus 7 at the same time, the Logitech keyboard cuts out and I have to disconnect the bluetooth mouse in order to pair it again. Has anyone else had any of these issues or know of a way to solve it? There was a time in which they both worked correctly, but I am not sure if that was 4.2.1 or something earlier like 4.1.2. I have my device multibooted and the multiple devices work with bluetooth on the Ubuntu desktop version for our Nexus 7.
ROMs tried: CM10.1 (current), PA3.1, and AOKP
Kernels tried: Franco (current) and M-Kernel

[Q] problems connecting bluetooth-keyboard (K700) with usb-dongle over OTG

Hey guys,
I bought a K700 and already tried it with the dongle in a OTG-cable on my Galaxy Nexus and just the USB-Dongle in my PC...
Works magnificently!
However, the same is not true for the Nexus 10.
I even installed the "Nexus Media Importer" App for 2.99 as adviced in another thread.
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks
PS: I am running stock 4.2.1 with root access
If your keyboard is really Bluetooth, it should pair in Bluetooth settings.
However, I believe the keyboard uses the unifying wireless receiver. The stock kernel does not have the drivers for the Logitech unifying receiver. You will need to install craigacgomez's kernel from the nexus 10 development section.

[Q] Can't connect any bluetooth controllers with my Nexus 10.

Couldn't find any other similar threads.
I previously owned a Asus Transformer and was able to use a Wii Remote + Classic Controller and never had any issues with it. I tried that on my Nexus 10 with a couple different apps to sync with but none of them could get the thing to connect.
I wasn't too dismayed, it's kind of a pain to have the Wii Remote with Classic Controller dangling off it. So I went out and bought a new Bluetooth controller (Nyko PlayPad), and I can't get that to connect either. Using the Nyko app it seems like it detects the controller but can't actually connect. I ran it through on my phone (Droid 4) and it worked immediately. I don't have any other Bluetooth devices I can test with, but are there any known issues with Bluetooth on the Nexus 10? Is this anything a new ROM or wipe could fix?
I too had a problem with the nyko play pad on my nexus 10. There app is garbage after using it it seemed to break Bluetooth connectivity on my device and I had to factory reset to get it back.

I think there was a change to the blue tooth stack in 4.2 which caused lots of different programs to have issues.
I failed to get a Wii remote to work and as far as I can tell it just isn't possible. A PS3 controller works no problem and in my opinion is much better since Android recognises it as a gamepad as opposed to an input method.

Nexus 7 Bluetooth Pairing issue

I am trying to get a good setup for my Nexus 7 mounted in my car, and I'm having some annoying issues with bluetooth. I have bluetooth auto connect installed, and I have paired it with my Droid Bionic before, but any time I try to connect them I have to accept a pairing request again.
I am running Timurs USB rom, and Icarus HD on my Bionic. Anyone have any ideas?

[Q] Bluetooth Keybard + Bluetooth Touchpad + WiFi = Doom

Been digging around the forum, and trying various kernels, to no avail. My dream setup is eluding me!
Nexus 10. Stock ROM, 4.2.2. Any popular kernel. Apple bluetooth keyboard, Apple bluetooth touchpad. Works great, as long as WiFi is off.
With WiFi on, the Nexus does not properly recognize key presses from the bluetooth keyboard. In particular, the 'stopped pushing that button' part. So teeeeext looooookkks lllliiiike thiiiiis. Sucky.
It's only with WiFi on. If Wifi is off, and the trackpad is not connected, the keyboard works perfectly. If the keyboard is not connected, the trackpad works perfectly (which is does actually anyway, touch registers very well, no matter what else is connected).
Does anybody know of any ROM / Kernel combination that resolves this issue? It's the only one tiny thing I'm missing to have this be the perfect setup for me. I already stopped using my Wintel laptop, this is my full time setup, including light design work, Web stuff, and programming. It's a thing of beauty, minus having to always reach up to the screen.
Any constructive input appreciated. "You don't need a touchpad" type commentary, yea, whatever. I'm mostly interested in being able to sort out this bug.
Seems to be a common problem for nexus 7 as well. Possible solutions, none of them ideal.
1. If you have a dual band router, try setting it to 5hz and turn off 2.4. (Apparently, 2.4 may interfere with the Bluetooth band)
2. External keyboard helper from the play store has an option to stop repeat key press. (I can not confirm, you may want to ask the dev.)

Unfortunately I don't have control over the router.
External keyboard helper, on the other hand, a BRILLIANT suggestion. Bought it, mitigates the problem to a point where it's basically usable. Not perfect but miles better. Bonus, the keyboard mapping allow for using the volume and brightness keys on the keyboard. Awesome!

Cool app. The developer is on XDA as well.:thumbup:

Can you at least change the WiFi channel in the router?? If it is interference that would resolve the issue. A kernel or ROM won't have a magical fix.
I can think of 2 solutions, although both of them involve NOT using Apple peripherals.
1. I got a case / BT keyboard combo for under $40, inexpensive, and works with wifi on 2.4 and 5 GHz.
2. You could always go USB
I'm using my Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse through OTG. Works well in the absence of Bluetooth hardware

[Q] Bluetooth Mouse

Hi all,
I have a Nexus 4 and a Nexus 7 (12) using Multirom to dual boot stock 4.3 and CM 10.2.2 (both devices have same build). The Nexus 4 also runs with franco/ziddey kernal for otg support.
I bought a Bluetooth mouse for my phone and it works on everything but >_<"
My laptop connects and runs the mouse no problem
My Nexus 7 runs it on both stock and CM no problem.
My Nexus 4 will connect to it but no cursor will appear!!! I love the mouse, don't think it's defective (but what do I know) and was wondering if there were any potential issues with my Nexus 4 that could be causing this malfunction.
I had a custom radio (I was having issues with Multirom) installed, so I reflashed to stock and reinstalled everything (without radio, assuming it was wiped with the rest of everything) but to no avail.
I also tried with phone disabled, and in airplane mode, but neither of those worked.
Has anyone else had this problem, or have any ideas on how it may be solved?
no helps me
Does anyone have a bluetooth mouse they have found to work on nexus 4?
