I have the same problem. Everything worked great on 4.2.2, but the upgrade to 4.3 today broke my bluetooth keyboard. It reports as connected, but the onscreen keyboard doesn't disappear and only some of the letter keys work. Delete, language, back, home, sleep, all stopped working.
I have a Nexus 7 with a Zagg keyboard.
Anyone have an idea?
In the same boat. Original Nexus 7 + Zagg bluetooth keyboard no longer works.
I also have a Zagg bluetooth keyboard that won't work with Android 4.3.
Is anyone having trouble with a bluetooth keyboard on Android 4.3 that isn't a Zagg keyboard?

I got the same problem with my bluetooth keyboard and other issue with the ShareKM app
The cursor is invisible.
I think this might be an Android 4.3 issue rather than a device specific issue. I have a N7 (2013) and my Apple Keyboard repeats characters sporadically and occasionally inserts spaces out of order.
My Apple A1255 keyboard pairs but no longer connects in 4.3 on my Nexus 7 (2012). Works on my Nexus 4 with 4.3 and worked on 4.2.2 no problems.
On your nexus 4 is the typing smooth and accurate? I'd like to see if this is a AOSP issue or a hardware.

I have a Kensington Keyboard and I can pair but not type at all. I tested on a Galaxy Nexus 4.3 and a Nexus 10 4.3
Here is a link to the issue - if someone is interested
There is also a temporary workaround:
Issue 58202: Apple Bluetooth keyboard not working in 4.3
PS I cannot post links - I'm new. Search for said issue on google.
From the issue page:
can confirm that renaming /system/usr/keylayout/Vendor_0a5c_Product_8502.kl fixes it(ZaggKeys Flex here). Logcat now shows that it's loading the key layout from /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl.
Issue link: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=58202
I'm going to try the rename tomorrow to see if it works.

Ok - I renamed my /system/usr/keylayout/Vendor_0a5c_Product_8502.kl to /system/usr/keylayout/Vendor_0a5c_Product_8502.kl.old and rebooted.
Paired my keyboard and everything worked flawlessly. Since I'm from Germany I wanted to switch to a german layout. You can switch from the generic layout to the german by choosing the appropriate layout on Language and Input. Not all keys are working (like the mute button or the current apps running button) but I can finally type.
I will check my bluetooth keyboard when I get off.

Ya, that was my post. It seems that Android, as of 4.3, is incorrectly detecting various bluetooth keyboards(all?) as "Broadcom Bluetooth Device", with keyboard type "KEYBOARD_TYPE_NON_ALPHABETIC", which is typically used for bluetooth game controllers(verified programmatically in the code for a game I'm working on).
For those looking to fix it: Renaming the file above requires root access. It's probably possible using a root file explorer, but I used a root terminal(specifically, terminal emulator logged in as root). I'll post here some instructions on how to accomplish it if you're using a terminal:
Note: first line is only needed if using a shell that doesn't automatically log into root. For example, it's unnecessary if using "adb shell" from a remote computer
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
cd /system/usr/keylayout
mv Vendor_0a5c_Product_8502.kl Vendor_0a5c_Product_8502.kl.bak
After that, reboot and you *should* be golden(I take no responsibility if this in some way breaks your device or generally doesn't work; this is just what worked for me).
I honestly haven't tried using a root explorer, but in theory that would just involve navigating to /system/usr/keylayout in said explorer and renaming the file from the GUI. Assuming, of course, that the explorer knows to remount /system as read/writable(or has a function to do so, in which case: do that first)
I have tested both my Freedom Pro and Celluon Magic Cube Bluetooth Keyboards on both the Nexus 4 and
Nexus 10 devices running the newly released 4.3.
Both keyboards worked fine on both the N4 and N10 when runing 4.2.2.
Now the Magic Cube will work with the N10 but not my N4 as it will not connect.
But the Freedom Pro keyboard connects straight away and will work fine with both the N10 and N4.
So i think some things fixed with the bluetooth in the 4.3 OS update has broken other things.
Ah well the old saying is if it is not broken fix it anyway.

I am using CM7 latest weekly...
I just bought the motorola work and play kit, but I can't properly test it now since I will have an hdmi tv next week..
However, I tried pairing and connecting the bluetooth mouse and keyboard and everything went fine...The keyboard works and even the mouse cursor appears on the atrix display...
BUT
when i try to click anywhere the mouse jumps to the left edge of the screen...So I have this doubt that maybe it's something wrong...anyone can confirm this behaviour?
I don't know if this is a proper test (without connecting to the hdmi, and with cm7) but I just want to know if this behaviour is normal in this condition and it will work correctly with the tv.....or maybe I'm doing something wrong and this is a stupid/noob/senseless question...
any suggestions?
I've had a similar problem on other builds of CM7 as well... but I HAVEN'T had any problems with Blur-based ROMs (like Darkside/etc.). In those ROMs, bluetooth mice work fine in Webtop, mirrored HDMI OR just on the plain phone (with no other modes enabled).
I'm thinking of flashing back to CM7 now that they have landscape HDMI mirroring, perhaps the issue would be solved when in this mode?
It's a frustrating issue, not exactly sure why it behaves so strangely in CM7. =(
That has been fixed, and it will be working fine in the next weekly.

Is there something wrong with the Bluetooth feature on Jellybean 4.1 or the with the Nexus 7 itself?
I bought a Bluetooth Keyboard for it for about $30. When it's working it works great, but it just randomly drops out when I am in the middle of typing. If I press the button to the right then they will connect to each other again, but then it drops out again in a few minutes. It's pretty much a useless device, because I can't keep constantly pressing the button while I am typing, it slows me down dramatically.
Does anyone know of any specific problems with Bluetooth on the Nexus 7 or with the Jellybean ROM?
I've been looking for a USB/MicroUSB keyboard to replace this one, but they all look so cheap and flimsy, so if you have any suggestions on that end they would be appreciated.
I know everyone hates when someone does this.
But my motorolla Bluetooth keyboard has been working very well no disconnects. I also use a mouse on occasion that has yet to fail me. I would check to see if you have a lot of Bluetooth devices nearby.
I am using stock kernel and ROM not rooted.
I use the keyboard and mouse together with zero issues so far.

Did you try testing that keyboard with other devices to see if the keyboard works properly?
No, but I will try that with my Droid RAZR and let you all know how it worked out.
Bluetooth file shares go smoothly, I've transferred at least a GB through Bluetooth. Bugs me that I have to change .epub and .apk files to .mp4 though.
I do Bluetooth with tablet talk, and Bluetooth connect to phone for network on cm10 rom. No issues, no dropping

Good lord, use some other method then.. Bluetooth is both slower than wifi and... renaming stuff? No way. There are plenty of other methods to transfer files to Android over wifi.

I'm having this exact same issue. I actually traded in the keyboard thinking it was defective and have the same problem with another BT keyboard. All of these devices work perfectly fine on my PC and other tablet. Anyone else heard of this or know of a potential fix? It's supremely annoying to not be able to use a BT keyboard+mouse at the same time. I'm using a stock unrooted N7 with the latest update.

Hi guys,
I have the motorola bluetooth keyboard with trackpad working on my Xoom and I wanted to use it on my new Nexus 10.
I can pair the device entering the correct code on the keyboard, but then I can't get it to work, there is no "Physical Keyboards" section in Language & input.
Do you have any ideas why this keyboard is not working? I think the Nexus 10 has Bluetooth HID enabled so there shouldn't be any problem.
Thanks in advance.
I have my old moto xoom keyboard and mouse working fine on my N10, it actually works much better in terms of staying connected than it did on the xoom :silly:
This is an issue because Google switched to a different Bluetooth stack in 4.2

Well I didn't know that, thanks for the info. Is there a way to go back to the old stack? I have my N10 on stock 4.2 and rooted btw.
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
