[Q] iCade not pairing - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, everybody.
I recently got an LG G Pad 8.3 as a present and, instead of retiring or giving away my Nexus 10 I decided to give it a second life as an emulator machine.
I bought an iCade Core, downloaded Mame4Droid and... nothing. I can't pair the iCade with any of my Android devices (LG G Pad, LG G2 or Nexus 10). It asks for the pairing code but it's not recognised (every button in the iCade is supposed to be a number while you are pairing).
When I try to pair with my wife's iPad Air or my son's iPad 2 it works flawlessly (it doesn't ask for any code, 'though).
I'm currently on 4.3. I read somewhere that 4.2.2 broke Bluetooth for certain devices, and was ready to try a downgrade to 4.1.2, but then I remembered that the N10 shipped after that
Has anybody had any luck trying to make the iCade work? I don't mind having to flash whatever firmware, since I've everything up and running in the new tablet. I'm willing to go to 4.4, 4.4.2, back to 4.2.2... But I'd prefer to know in advance if there is any solution.
I've read people having success with an app called Bluez IME, but I keep getting a "bt connet socket error" or something like that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Edit: Nevermind. After days of trying without success, I followed the instructions in this thread for the Nth time and it worked!

QA Six axis controller woes :(

So i've done the six axis process with my s3, it was successful several times. Currently i'm running stock 4.2 rooted on my nexus 7. I've downloaded the pairing tool for my pc, changed the bluetooth adress of my controller to match my tablet. HOWEVER whenever i go to "start" in the app on my tablet it does the "attempting connection type 1 and then 2" Sits there for a while and never pairs to my device. I'm also seeing similar people having this exact issue
"This app is the greatest thing to happen to Android. It does it all. The touch emulation is fantastic. I really can't say enough good things about it. Buy it! You'll definitely be glad you did."
same thing happens to me and it messes my wifi up. Is this a bug we have to deal with until app dev fixes it or has anyeone heard of a work around?
I'm always able to find an answer in a different site shortly after i post. someone posted this...
I emailed the dev, and he sent me an email yesterday, and he said "I'm aware of this issue and hope to have a fix soon. Android 4.2 has introduced a new Bluetooth stack, so it will take some time to rewrite the sixaxis driver. I hope to have a fix within a week."
I'm in the same shape. This is the only reason I rooted my Nexus 7. I'm not going to roll back to an earlier image. If this isn't fixed in a week or so, Im going to restore my N7 to factory.
I paired my N7 with my mac and got the BT address. I used the mac sixpair app and wrote that address to my PS3 controller. Then I tried the Sixpair Controller test, but no joy via BT or USB. Hopefully this is fixed soon.
I heard that bluetooth was broken with 4.2 :[

What do you mean?
Other Question: What means the Connection Type? What is the difference between 1,2,3?

[Q] K1 CM10 v6.1 Bluetooth Keyboard Issue

So I bought a EC tech Bluetooth on Amazon (I'd post a link but I can't) to use with my K1. I'm running krook's CM10 v6.1. The keyboard pairs and says it is connected, but it never shows up as an input device. I can work around the issue by using BlueKeyboard JP to connect. However, this seems clunky as a solution and doesn't work for Ctrl or Tab.
From hunting around, others have this issue with other BT keyboards, but I haven't found any solutions. It works fine with my Galaxy Nexus that is running stock 4.2.2.
Anyone have helpful thoughts? I tried copying the keyboard layouts from my phone, but that didn't help.

[Q] Q: Why won't my rooted Nexus 7 recognize any universal bluetooth keyboard

Hi,
I would really like to use my tablet to take notes and have tried various bluetooth keyboards on my nexus 7 2012 (rooted) to no avail. I have searched threads but they all seem to slightly differ from the issue I'm having (e.g. some users were able to use their keyboards prior to updating to a new android version while my nexus had never recognized the bluetooth keyboards). The universal keyboard I now have is a ge brand. Anyway, if anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks.

Issue connecting to YoCam device (wifi issue?) with 6P, other android devices connect

So my YoCam camera arrived, and excited to receive my new kickstarter toy, I tried to connect it to my phone following the basic instructions.
Phone sees and connects to the device via wireless, but the app refuses to connect. However using other android phones will allow me to connect to the camera, using exactly the same process., so it does not appear at least at a basic level, an android or an app issue.
Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions, or can suggest some troubleshooting tools so i can get a better view of what is going on.
Thanks
Hi, Not that this helps: I have exactly the same but on a Samsung Note 3 running cyanogenmod 6.0.1. When connecting to my Samsung tab S2 with standard Android no problem.
Are you running a alternative rom on your phone or standard?

Connecting a dualshock 4 to this phone (LG Stylo 2 Plus)

Hello and good afternoon. I just joined the community to seek for help and to look arround for cool stuff
Well, there is my problem:
I'm looking forward to use my dualshock 4 with my phone, but even if the device connects to it successfully, no input is recognized, this leaving the controller unusable until i disconnect it. No matter how much times i have tried (even with different IME apps) it won't recognize the controller inputs.
Is therd a workarround for this? My previous phone recognizes the controller fine and i have seen other lg phones using a dualshock 4 with no problems
My phone rom is stock (non rooted) running android 6.0.1
Thanks in advance!
As far as I can tell the Sony framework files don't seem to be included in this phone. However if you decide to root magisk seems to be the way to go for you as there is a download module called Sony framework that seems to add the framework files you would need for the duelshock 3 and 4
I don't know what that is.. Lol.. I'm sorry. But I'm sure it's awesome sauce...
You need root and this app:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller
Works perfectly
