Ok so I have this keyboard I found in a box from when I had the Moto Xoom I've tried pairing with nexus player and it just won't pair. I can pair with my Moto X 2015 just fine. Been searching online and can't find the answer hoping someone on good ol XDA will have a work around or solution.. PS I have already rest the keyboard per keyboard manual and tried putting it in computer pairing mode it won't budge... I read on manual about device must supporter Bluetooth HID but can't find anything about this in relation to Nexus Player

Hi all
Well I know this is a bit of an odd one but thought would be very cool if anyone had any idea how to do this
I've got an old fully functional k-jam in the cupboard and was thinking of buying a Logitech Dinovo mini Bluetooth keyboard for my Playstation 3, when I thought to myself hey the K-jam has a mini keyboard and bluetooth couldnt these somehow be reprogrammed so that the keyboard output could be output via bluetooth to be used by the PS3.
Would be brilliant if anyone has any ideas
This would be pretty damn cool
so anyone have any ideas how this could be done
Got this working upgrade my ROM to the CR86 Touch HD2.1 ROM installed Mobile remote and it works perfectly as a bluetooth keyboard on my PC, Netbook, and PS3. £99 save on the Logitech Dinovo.
It's good to hear that man
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.
Not sure at all if this is the place but is the only one I found in XDA.
Im having serious lag input from my Mad Catz C.T.R.L when paired via bluetooth to my Moto X (2014). Anyone knows if this is common or if there is a fix for this?
I have tested also a Moga and it runs fine so I don't think is my phone or its bluetooth receiver.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
The ctrlr lags for me when:
1. low on battery and; or
2, not in direct line of sight with device
Hope that helped.
I found a workaround but not sure who to blame here.
The solution I found is to turn off and on the bluethoot of my Moto X (2014) and reconect the MC.CTRL again, sometimes it works with the first try, sometimes I need to do it more than two times, but when it finally works, works without any trouble or lag.
Still, not sure if its a problem with CTRL or with the Moto X.

That's very strange, you can test the ctrlr on a different device with bluetooth.
Are running/connecting to anything else on Bluetooth? speakers? keyboard/mouse?
If so, test with it off.
Hi,
I'm having the same kind of issue on a One Plus One under OxygenOS (Lollipop).
The latency is huge, and even more when pressing a button and moving the sticks (around 1sec).
Do we have a workaround ?
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.
Bump, I'm having issues pair a gamepad. It won't let me press "enter" to submit the pairing code

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
Just got my nexus player and I am trying to pair the remote but no matter what I do it will not pair. I have tried rebooting it and taking the batteries out of the remote and still no go. I saw a few threads here and no solutions. Can anyone help?

Did you try pushing the button on the bottom of the player? and you held the two buttons to try to pair it right? i don't remember if you can use it initially but you can also download the remote app on your phone...
I just got it paired. I had to pair a mini bluetooth KB first and go through the initial set up. I had been messing around and decided to try the remote one more time and it worked. Time to unlock it, root it and hopefully AOSP 7.1
