iCade Core and Nexus 7 - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
Has anyone on here managed to get an iCade Core working on a nexus 7? I've rooted and installed CM10.1 but still getting asked for a 6 digit pass code to pair it.
There are instructions on the bottom of the icade but they're just not working...it would seem I need a way to disable the passkey requirement for Bluetooth but can't find anything.
I'm dying to play mame on it with the icade so any help in the right direction would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Smiffy.

Pinless Bluetooth Pairing

Any ideas on how to get this thing to pair with a bluetooth device that doesn't have a pin? I get a request for a passkey/pin during pairing and the OK button is disabled until a character is entered. The normal defaults don't work (0000, ETC) since the device doesn't require a pin. It works perfectly with my Rezound running ViperRez, and Windows, etc.
Not sure you can. That's a security feature of BT. Even if you could somehow alter the BT stack on the tablet, the other device would still need a pin to finish pairing. I suspect the other device DOES have a pin, and you'll need to figure out what it is. If it is a popular device, surely someone else has done the research for you and you can find it online. I know I have a BT GPS unit that didn't use any default PIN that I knew and after scouring for this obscure device I found a similar one using the same chip set and discovered the PIN in the other device's manual.
Good luck.

Thanks for the reply. I'll see if I can find a device with a similar chipset. It's a targus mouse and this nexus is the only thing that has ever asked for a pin, and the manual doesn't specify one and support verified this. ICS devices hadn't been asking for one either.
As a suggestion, the Motorola Elite Sliver can pair via NFC.

Necroreplying for posterity: bluetooth supports pinless pairing, but android doesn't. There's two android bugs for this, 26049 and 52549.

Bluetooth mouse problem

I'm running rooted stock 4.2.2. Previously there was no problem pairing my Speedlink Snappy BT mouse, but since I went from 4.2.1 to 4.2.2 I can't pair it at all. Very occasionally if I mash the mouse buttons a pointer will briefly appear on the screen, but that's about. The Nexus does recognise the mouse in the BT settings screen, but won't pair.
Is anyone else having similar problems, or, is anyone happily pairing a BT mouse? If you are, what mouse is it?

Update. I've tried the mouse on a couple of other Nexus 7s, also running 4.2.2, and it pairs without problem. There's something therefore interfering with the pairing on my device. I've cleared caches, and deleted any other BT apps, to no avail. Any suggestions?
thanks

Still have same issue - was anybody able to find solution?
Have same mouse and was using it ok but since some moment I am unable to pair this mouse with Nexus. Seems it is "stuck" somewhere in some config and as device is not rooted and I do not want to do factory reset if possible I am not sure where it can be hiding...
Anyone was able to fix this since original post please?

ELM327 OBDII scanner bluetooth

I have this model: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...la-_-Diagnostic+&+Test+Tools-_-9SIA0WP08G3580
It paired with my Nexus 7 (2012) fine, but my new Nexus struggles to pair with it, and finally says it cannot communicate with it. Did they change the bluetooth stack? Is there a OBDII scanner that does pair?
Thanks.
Jim
I haven't had any issues with that unit on my n7, n7 2013, s3, or gnex.... What app are you using, I use torque. On a side note I just got the n7 2013 and I haven't let it update android yet so maybe its a 4.3 update thing.

the code for mine is 6789, strange, I'll try again on the way home
Maybe it has to do with the Bluetooth Smart implementation (?). Just a shot in the dark - I need to study up on the topic.
My nexus 7 actually pulled down two updates and the reader no longer works. It has to be the smart/low power Bluetooth, or maybe a compatibility issue with Bluetooth 4.0. After all these are cheap Chinese knockoffs. I'll just use my old galaxy tab 2 7 to leave in the car. They are cheap enough now I may just install it in the car for good. I was flirting with the idea of replacing my old double din head unit with it and run the speakers off my amp anyway...but I digress....

[Android][BT] Bluetooth Hardware Spoofing

Hey guys, Dan here
So here's my setup. I've got a Turtle Beach PX4 Headset, PlayStation 3, and my Windows 8.0 Desktop PC (w/ Bluetooth of course) I was wondering if it was possible to spoof a Bluetooth microphone on my phone somehow to show up so I can onnect it to my PS3 to use as a Bluetooth mic.
Is this possible currently? Through use of soft mods or apps?
I'd really like to know if this is possible and if so, how I can achieve it.
Thanks Guys!

Can mods move this to the right section? Sorry for bumping, thanks

I tried googling and different apps once for same idea. I ran into an article saying its impossible with current Bluetooth, let me google to get the link.
Don't believe me and lose hope yet, that was like a year ago
How is your quest on finding a way to use an Android device as a microphone for the PS3?
From what I Researched, I can dual boot a 4.0/4.1 ROM with Safestrap and use BlueputDroid.
Will try and report back

Bluez for Nexus 6?

In my quest to resolve my Bluetooth issues (mainly interference issues between my moto 360 which is BT le and my car not being able to connect when the watch is on and in range). I've found many people complaining that many bluetooth issues popped up after Google switched to using BlueDroid for the Bluetooth stack around android 4.4. I came across this project https://code.google.com/p/aosp-bluez/https://code.google.com/p/aosp-bluez/ which attempts to build Bluez (the previous default Bluetooth stack) back in to android 4.4 & 5.0 (and above possibly).
Any ROM devs care to chime in on whether they'd be willing to try this in their build? I'm not against trying to build it myself but it sounds as though I'll need some drivers that may or may not be available for the N6 as it is for the N5. Any help, advice or a point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
