Bluetooth Keyboard doesn't show when searching? Can I manually pair it? - Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Bluetooth keyboard never appears when I use the Shield TV to search for Bluetooth devices (ie. Add Accessory).
Can I use a 3rd party application to search for it and pair it?

bluetooth today plugin??

Does anyone know a bluetooth plugin that takes only one row on today screen and can pair with bluetooth headset?
The wirless manager today plugin takes a lot of space. Or anyone know how to get rid of operator name on this plugin to make it taking only one row?
I found some wireless manager plugin on xda-dev but they only turn on off bluetooth. I usually pair my pda with bluetooth headset
PocketToolman seemed to fit to me (one row tray and an icon to access commanager) but I couldn't access wireless manager with that icon although everything else worked ok. Poor me
I've just found that Home Screen ++ systray works much better than I hoped. A2DP feature can connect my phone directly to bluetooth headset

[Q] Connect bluetooth device, but let the phone handle it

Hello,
I have a bluetooth headset and I switch the connection constantly between my MP3, phone and laptop (for different reasons).
On my laptop I made a bind, so if I press M10 (I have a gamer keyboard) it auto-connects this headset.
On my MP3 I just have to press a button for 3 seconds and it connects the headset automatically.
On my Nexus One, I have to go to the settings then bluetooth Settings then select the headset.
So I want to make a simple widget that allows me to view all the known bluetooth devices (that have already been paired with the phone once) and be able with one touch to be connected with the chosen device.
Developing an application that needs bluetooth on android is simple but I can't find a way to say to my phone : "Connect to this device already paired but you handle the socket server etc..."
I don't want to right a socket server and handle the sounds being sent to the device... I just want to connect the headset to my phone and let the phone do the rest.
Is is possible ? Because on Android Dev website I didn't find any class, method etc... to do that.
Best regards,
rXp>!<
No answer means can't be done I guess ?

[Q] two BT channel. Do it exist?

Hi,
on my Sony Z1 (I think the same of Z2) with 4.4.4 android. I want to connect two devices:
- one headset
- one BT car device
Is it possible? I mean: can I connect the headset and then (when I enter on my car) connect with the BT car device? I think I could do that just using two different BT channel
Am I in the right way or not?
And, if yes, how can I choose a particular channel to connect with a particular gadget?
TIA
Renato
Go to quick settings and use the "Throw" utility to select which device to connect to.
This assumes you have already paired with different devices
I just connected SONY BT headset (official PS3 headset) and SONY A/V receiver (Throw option) and both appear connected.
Music and sound effects from games go to A/V receiver and voice from phone calls are heard on headset.
Working as intended.

Bluetooth Controller Pairing PIN ???

Hi,
i can't connect my Bluetooth Controller.
If i would like to pair it prompts me to type in a pairing pin, but on the controller i can not type it in. How can i connect it to my joying car stereo?
Car Stereo is rooted and i tryed out the android settings, too. but i could not find any settings where i can deactivate the pairing pin
What head unit is it?
If it's a joying just use the 1234 pin.
Yes it`s a joying head unit, and i can not type in a pin on the controller. I would like to use the controller for volume control. And it has only volume, skip track, play and pause button. The head unit ask to type in a pin for pairing on the controller, not on the unit itself.
You should just be able to pair it with the code 1234 in the bluetooth settings. It basically will pair to any device that way.
Set the controller to pair then search for it on the joying. When it finds it then you can just type 1234. The unit should pair with the device.
If it doesn't upload a video to show us what you are doing.
It doesn't work. The Android Version 6 generates a random pairing code on the car stereo every time i try to pair the remote controller. And on the remote controller i can not type in any code, because it has no keyboard (it has only media player controll buttons)
I am searching a way to deactivate that anoying randomly code generation on my android head unit, why it can not be ask to hit "any button" on the remote button if i would like to pair.
Also bought a Joying car radio with android 6.0.1 and bought a 3rd party bluetooth controller, which won't connect, same problem here...
Is there any solution to get this fixed?
Did you try apps like these?
These controllers should act as HID devices, just like mice and keyboards. Did any of you try to connect a mouse or keyboard?
(I will try myself as well one of these days when it's not so cold anymore)
Any news on this topic? I have the same problem. I tried to reach native android bluetooth settings, but it fails just a sec after I launch it.
Anyone come up with anything? I tried a bluetooth becan scanner app and it force closes everytime i scan. Someone has had to come up with something. Some type of app that bypasses the radios phone only pairing.
I am in the same boat, would love to use a controller on my steering wheel but nothing pairs except my phone.
Hallo, just install their Application Magic LED from Google Store and it will pair the device automatically. Probably the pairing key is hidden in it And one hint: 5 seconds after pairing with the device the app doesn´t work so wait for this time with using it. Enjoy! James Tesla
Anyone come up with anything? I have a Chinese unit and I want to connect my xbox one controller and a mini keyboard but it is impossible because I cannot type the code on these devices.
I have same problem
I’m wait for anyone update T T
