This is a tip about pairing the Stowaway Travel Mouse with JASJAR through Bluetooth.
I bought the Stowaway Mouse, and like many others, I could not get the mouse to pair, even though I downloaded the latest driver specifically for HTC Universal (= JASJAR). The setup screen would go from "Scanning for mouse..." to "Initializing connection..." back to "Scanning for mouse..." and on and on until it reports connection failure. I tried multiple times with multiple soft resets, to no avail.
I read online that someone reported he was able to pair after a hard-reset. I didn't do that, because I already have a lot of customization on my unit. I was on the verge of giving up and returning the mouse.
Then something happens by accident. In discoverable mode (after pressing the Discoverable button on the mouse and click "Connect" on the setup screen), while the screen says "Initializing connection...", I pressed the "Discoverable" button again by chance, only to find that it caused the screen to change to "Verifying connection..." and a red square appears on the screen for me to click, just like what the user manual says. After clicking the red square, the mouse started working.
I tried pairing the mouse again, using the same procedure. It paired successfully for the second time, and the third time. So this procedure is re-producible. I did notice there is an optimal timing when you should press that Discoverable button again to make it pair.
I also have the Stowaway bluetooth keyboard working at the same time. I have to say that, with both a mouse and a keyboard, it makes Jasjar a lot more productive.
Another thing I noticed but am not 100% sure, is that by turning off the "Power Efficient Mode" for both the keyboard and the mouse, their bluetooth connections seem more reliable.
Arrow?
Can you see the Arrow on the screen of Jasjar when move the Stowaway Mouse?
Thank
since i bought JasJar i was using this powerful mouse... i solved the problem by paring the mouse than Uncheck HID profile than delete the whole mouse from Bluetooth list.... then try to connect throwgh the Software that came with the mouse .... it will works YaaaaaY :wink:

Yes, the cursor arrow appears whenever the mouse is connected. If the mouse goes into standby, the cursor will disappear. So whenever you see the cursor on the screen, that means the mouse is ready to use.

Maybe I should give it another try. I had also gotten the mouse to work only when I frantically reset the discoverable mode over and over again during pairing. Getting the keyboard and mouse to work at the same time drove me nuts, I was only able to do it once. I had about given up on this, can you advise what you think the timing is for resetting the mouse during pairing?

I would say, wait about 1 second after the screen changes from "Scanning for mouse" to "Initializing connection", then press the Discoverable button again. The timing is not that strict. I believe you can get it working within two or three tries. You can pair the keyboard before or after pairing the mouse. Overall, the mouse connection seems to be less stable than the keyboard connection.
I also noticed that, after you power off Jasjar and the mouse, it is much better to turn on Jasjar first, and when Jasjar has fully woken up, then turn on the mouse. It is easier to restore the mouse connection this way (without re-pairing).
Oh my god, somehow this all worked. I'm using the mouse in safe mode, which is a pain in the arse sometimes when it leaves the mouse icon on the screen, but it's working, for now.
Big big thanks for the tips and inspiration to try this again!
I have a generic bluetooth mouse (www.omiz.net) which pairs and works perfectly fine with my EXEC, only thing is the cursor is not shown i can click around in Word Mobile etc and even scroll... but pretty pointless without a cursor.
I tried using it with the Stowaway BT mouse driver, no luck in pairing.
Unfortunately - I have only been able to get a generic driver for my manhattan generic mouse at http://cabfiles.net but it only works on WM2003SE and not WM5 - maybe we can convinec george to develop a WM5 driver .... :?
in case anyone has given up on this, it looks like the pairing issues might be solved in version 4.4: http://www.thinkoutside.com/support/Drivers.asp?ManufacturerID=17&ModelID=295
It seems like the pairing of both the keyboard and mouse goes much smoother now. I didn't need to reset the mouse connection while it was searching for the device, it just connected. Only problem I had was that the mouse gets a little laggy when using with a BT keyboard at the same time. This was in enhanced mode, not sure if safe mode solves that problem.
Does the mouse work in true vga mode ?

Does someone knows if it is possible to make this driver to work/pair with MS BT mouse?
I was wondering if anyone else is having issues with bluetooth on their Archos 101. I can't tell if perhaps my hardware is flaky, or if its a software issue.
Basically, bluetooth seems to work sporadically. Sometimes it pairs like it should, other times it is a fight just to get it to pair with my phone, laptop or bluetooth keyboard. Often times I have to reboot just to get it to pair and it seems to really struggle if both bluetooth AND wifi are enabled.
I'm running the stock current ROM and outside of the android market APK and some basic apps, I haven't done anything wacky or weird to it.
I guess I'm just looking for some validation and/or confirmation and/or possible fixes if any.
Sorry, i have experienced no issues with bluetooth apart from forgetting to switch it on
I have had some issues as well. Paired a set of Motorola S9 bluetooth stereo headphones. They pair and connect fine, but the audio is choppy. It will sound fine for 15-20 seconds and then it will skip, go silent, bring back audio, etc. Tried playing same audio through unit speakers and no problems. I also have an Archos 70 tablet and have no problems with the same headset. Both have been updated with the Froy 2.2. Starting to think it might be a hardware issue with the 101. Anyone have any other thoughts?
Never had it working
I always get paired but not connected. Never have been able to get it to work.
The same problem. Pair, but not connect!
I've never found problem about bluetooth (Archos 101 - firmware version 2.1.08)
Pair & connect with DELL BH200 (Bluetooth Headset) - work fine.
Pair & connect with DELL BT Travel Mouse - work fine.
i'm getting major issues on my new replacement 101. did you ever sort your issues? i'm using latest fw.
its really hit or miss (mostly miss) whether it actually see's any BT devices when it scans. yet wifi works fine 100%
I experiment something very similar with my 101, this both on standard Android and Urukdroid 0.7 or 1.0 :
- very difficult (multiple tries have to be done) to get successfull peering.
- with BT enabled phones
- with BT GPS (G-Sat BT-368i, wich is given in forums to work well on our gen8 devices)
- for the GPS (which is the BT device that interest me) : impossible to have it working directly from GoogleMap, I got some success with "Bluetooth Gps Provider" appli from Market). This device is never shown as connected from the BT Parameters.
Could it be a hardware problem, that is do I have to return the tablet to archos ?
Thanks for your experience feeling about the fiability of the BT on 101 tablet.
It generally works fine for me, but a couple days ago it got stuck, and it would not allow to send me files to other devices until I rebooted the Archos. The same day I was also using bluetooth headphones and the wifi network together, and I had audio stutter problems. It seems that wifi has a negative effect over bluetooth stability.
It works for me... though
Bluetooth is not working on my Archos 101.
When I try "scan for devices" it shows 1 or 2 devices, while my HTC HD2 shows about 5. When I click again on "scan for devices" - sometimes it is howing different device, sometime shows bloothooth adress only.
Evan my HTC can see Archos, it cannot pair with it. Archos never see my HTC.
Zalek
Same here
I can pair with my phone (htc desire hd) but cant connect.
I need my phone connected for gps.
Nobody has a solution ?
No solution ?
Thanks
BT has some issues for me too with an A43.
BT+wifi means i either can't get a proper internet connection, or BT devices disconnect.
quite annoying, because i want to be able to use my BT mouse with the internet browser.
and my jabra halo headset connects in dumb mode (no media/volume controls) most of the time.
which is annoying, because it means my headset is stuck on the volume i last used.
Hi Lara and other fellows! For me, after all sort of tries, the solution comes with full reinitialization. Plug the unit to AC outlet, backup all your data, go to settings, repair and formatting and full reini. It seems that when we update firmware the things go a little crazy with the bt side. Good luck!
Think I've sorted out bluetooth problems
I also have had real problems with the bluetooth on Archos 101 - pairing but not connecting, causing "Location & Security" to crash when I attempted to open it (in settings). I updated the firmware to 2.4.19 and then rebooted - still the same problems, so I did a full initialization and hey presto all problems seem to have vanished ! A pain because I've now got to re-download all the apps I had before but at least the tablet is working as it is supposed to.
Hope this helps others.

Archos 101 Bluetooth Problem - Known issue?
I'm having the same problems. I contacted Archos support and they told me to do a full reinitialization. This did not resolve the issue.
When scanning for bluetooth devices, nothing shows up until the 5th or so attempt.
The mac address of the discovered device is shown instead of the device name.
When attempting to connect it fails several times, then it pairs but says "paired but not connected."
When I finally connect the audio stutters. It's extremely choppy... useless.
If the bluetooth is left on, the 101 will eventually freeze when the screen sleeps and cannot be woken up by pressing the power button. The green light stays on when this happens. Pressing the button a few times or holding it in reboots the 101.
After reading all the posts I've come to the conclusion that Archos likely knows about this issue.
Archos, if you're reading this, for the sake of your customers, please admit this is a known issue and let us know if it's fixable and when a possible fix may be available.
I encourage everyone to open a ticket with Archos support.
If you purchased your 101 used and it's been registered by the previous owner, you can register it and the registration will be instantly transferred to you.
Create a support account at archos.com
After you create an account you can add products to your account and submit tickets for them.

My bluetooth device: Jensen WTB210. Works fine with several other android devices.
Not so much Nexus-7 specifically related, as the problem occurs on both my Droid 4 and my Nexus 7, but I hope someone can help me solve this problem:
Starting from a 'clean' situation with the keyboard unpaired to the tablet, I set the keyboard in pairing mode by pressing the 'connect' button until the bluetooth LED starts flashing rapidly.
I then go to the bluetooth settings of one of the above devices, I select the bluetooth keyboard from the 'available devices' list.
My Android device then prompts me to enter a certain passcode on the keyboard, followed by the ENTER key.
I do this and the keyboard successfully registers in the Android device as a paired device.
At this point I am able to use the keyboard without any problems.
However when I turn off the keyboard, or let it go to sleep, and then turn it back on later, the keyboard connects successfully (I can see 'Connected' in the bluetooth settings screen), but it's not possible anymore to enter any text or use any of the keys.
I try reconnecting several times each time turning the keyboard off in between, but alas, nothing helps.
If I 'unpair' the device from my Android device and re-pair it, it works fine again until the next time I turn it off.
Needless to say it's not really a workable solution having to re-pair the keyboard each time I want to use it.
To rule out the Android devices being the culprit, I have tested the same process with another bluetooth keyboard (Logitech DiNovo Edge) and it doesn't have the problem.
However, using the Rapoo keyboard on a colleagues iphone, everything works perfectly.
I've come across other people having this problem, and some say it used to work fine in Android 2.3, but at this moment I haven't got a device with 2.3 on it to test with.
I tested with a colleagues 2.2 Android phone but that one wouldn't even pair.
I will try tonight with my girlfriends 2.3 Moto Defy+ and report back.
Didn't get around to trying this on 2.3 yesterday.
I also sent an email to Rapoo support asking them if they knew any fix for this, and this was what I got in the mailbag this morning:
Dear Customer,
Hello!
Please note that E6300 is specially designed for Ipad.It works with other computers which use Windows or Mac operation system, the shortcut keys for Ipad may be useless.Besides, the only cell phone it supports is Iphone 4 and the the shortcut keys for Ipad may also useless.
Thanks for your support to our products.
Best regards,

What a bunch of horse dung...
i have the same problem with my nexus 7 and the rapoo 6300.
i allready tried different kernels and roms.
at first i also had to repair the keyboard once it disconnects. (happens quite fast, sometimes after not typing for some seconds, but sometimes it keeps connected and usable for about 10 minutes)
but i figured out that you don´t have to repair it when it disconnects. when it says "connected" but it is not possible to write something, just wait some seconds, and it will work. (at least at my device, stock kernel @ smooth rom)
still very annoying, but i think it shows that there is a solution for this problem.
After some research i found out that some people had this problem since android 4.0. (worked fine at gingerbread)
but i tested the keyboard at a friends nexus s with jellybean miui rom and it worked fine.

Another observation, when connected to an Ubuntu 10.04LTS (kernel 2.6.32-44-generic) desktop, the same behavior happens.
To repeat, you can pair the keyboard, and after the first sleep, even when it reconnects (pressing the Connect button helps), it does not generate input events for the desktop either.
Same problem here. Tested with a GNEX and a N10. Even with the latest 4.2.2 it shows the same problem … one sleep and you have to pair again. POS!
Any comments on Nexus 7 with CM or AOSP? I heard these mods use a different keyboard driver...

I tested Rapoo e6300 against a HTC desire HD with 2.3.1. No chance: it will not pair. Rapoo can not be used with my N7, it just worked ten minutes after it is paired, and then it starts disconnecting. And no input gets through. Waiting a few seconds have no effect, Bluetooth is basically not working.
Got major connectivity issues with Rapoo E6300 here too on Nexus 7 with SmoothROM 4.4 (Cm based on 4.2.1)
Swapped it for a Rapoo E6100: works great! I did get some issue with reconnecting to Nexus 7 after I tried to pair the keyboard to my HTC
One X (which didnt work at all).
Had to reset the whole connection with nexus, but as long as i dont switch off Bluetooth on the nexus it works fine. Switching off or sleepjng the keybord is fine.

anybody?
and if so, what model?
Just gave it a try with a MS Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000: connected & paired in about 30 sec. Seems to be working fine...
There are known issues with bluetooth in 4.2.1 (4.2 in general) and Google is supposedly fixing this in the next update. Its kind of hit or miss if you can get something to connect.
thanks for the replies
i've tried a speedLink Snappy BT mouse which is detected and pairs OK but otherwise does not work -- no cursor or buttons response.
i might try and get a microsoft 5000.
or just wait for the update!
I'm trying to get a sense of whether the following bug is only affecting me or other users as well. I did a full factory image flash of 6.0 and attempted to pair a bluetooth keyboard and bluetooth audio receiver. For the keyboard, it forces the other device to generate a pin that is then typed on the keyboard. I eventually got this to work, but the NP kept taking a while just to generate a code, and would frequently time out before I could send the code. Once paired though, it worked fine.
The main issue is the audio receiver, which has the simple 0000 pair code. When I type it in on the player (or any other number for that matter), there's no way to click next or proceed to have it pair. It just sits there until it times out.
Anyone else deal with this and/or find a workaround?
I just picked up 2 nexus players on sale at walmart and have been setting them up. I updated the first one to marshmallow before doing any setup and noticed something similar. I could not pair a microsoft bluetooth mouse i have, it would discover it and attempt to pair, first is says pairing, then connecting then a few seconds later says "could not pair". It doesn't ever prompt for a pin and I've tried several times. I was able to pair a ZAGG folio case keyboard I use with my nexus 10 tablet, it prompted me to type in a pin and that paired just fine. Interestingly, last night I picked up a Logitech K830 keyboard (really nice btw) that has a touchpad built in and it won't pair, same behavior as the mouse except it does prompt me to type in a pin on the keyboard, which it seems to accept but then won't finish pairing. Luckily it also has a wireless dongle I just connected via USB and that work fine.
On the second player I let it do OTA updates to 5.1.1 and the keyboard pairs up just fine. I'm going to see if after doing the update to marshmallow (and not wiping my data) if the pairing will still be there and work.
My thought was maybe marshmallow has trouble pairing with mice, or devices that have mice integrated. But it sucks your reciever won't work either. It would seem there's a bug.

New update out, can anyone confirm this is fixed? I rather not format and setup again if it isn't fixed
Fixed problem pairing Bluetooth mouse on nexus player Android 6.0.
I found a fix. First of all I don't see an update on my nexus player as of today. But I could not pair the Microsoft mouse no matter what I try. So I replaced the batteries in the mouse with fresh and it paired and connected right away. I guess if the batteries are weak it can't pair.

Loaded the latest img from Google. Still have the issue. I am unable to enter the ping for the Bluetooth gamepad. It doesn't take batteries but it has been fully charged.
Problem Solved, updated firmware on the Bluetooth controller
Am also on Marshmallow, bootloader unlocked on my Nexus Player - love the device btw - I have the Asus gamepad, a HP K4000 bluetooth keyboard and the nexus remote control all paired and functional. Tried to add a Logitech m557 bluetooth mouse and it starts to pair and then says it cannot connect. I have another bluetooth mouse and I get the same result with trying to pair it as well. Bit of a headscratcher - Any advice would be appreciated
TIA
