Bluetooth Controller Pairing issue. - Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

OK...I got my Ouya the other day, and have read that some folks are having luck with paring a different Bluetooth controller with their device. So...since I will be playing a LOT of old school NES and SNES ROMs I picked up one of these:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
However every time I try and pair the Outs asks for a 4 digit PIN. (and suggests 0000 or 1234) Tried those...no luck and I looked thru the single page of instructions that came with the controller THERE IS NO PIN LISTED FOR THE DARN THING!
I was hoping someone else might have had a similar problem and could suggest a fix. Other than the issue pairing this other controller... I really like the system.
Thanks for any help,
Brad

I bought one of those for that EXACT reason... unfortunately i had the same issue
after some googling i found out you have to have a special app for it called wiiremote or something
using this i could at least pair the controller to hit, but afterwords it would only read A B and the Dpad
nothing else worked... feel bad cause my GF bought it for me a few months ago, and we cant return it anymore

Yeah...I tried that and have had no luck getting the controller to pair and work.

I have one since I actually have a WiiU, was trying to use it myself and had no luck, and I've been unsuccessful in finding any information to get it working.. I've been told it works with most android devices so I'm a bit surprised.

Is the ouya running 4.1 or 4.2. It is known that wiimotes don't work at all on 4.2 due to a few changes in the Bluetooth stack.
Otherwise, try the default 0000 pin.

Java/Bluetooth errors.

Help.
I've been searching all over for a handle on this one and have been singularly unsuccessful.
Initially, I encountered this error when trying to install GPSGate. I couldn't get any version to install and the Java version threw the following error -
... cannont be installed because the permission javax.microedition.io.connector.bluetooth.client is not available on this device. -58 Please contact your operator for more information.

Dis-heartened, but not yet suicidal, I took this setback like a man and promptly went out and bought a cat to kick.
I have now encountered the same error whilst messing about with Bluetooth Remote Control v.3.0 and consequently, the cat is looking worried.
Is there a way round this problem or is there some problem with the way Java support for BlueTooth is implemented on the Excalibur?
I'm using Ricky's V.23 with Opera.

i dont think you wanna mess with him...he looks like hes all business.
Now that's funny.
Not terribly helpful, but undeniably funny.
oh, you must not know me.
im useless.
sorry if i got your hopes up.
Okay.
It appears that the Bluetooth API, JSR-82, isn't implemented in Java for Windows Mobile devices - hence the problems I've been having. This also explains some problems other users have had with apps. such as Bluetooth Hack etc.
So: although Java is a cross-platform language, a big bit of the dictionary is missing for us.
Choked.
Anybody who knows more about Java than me, (and that's everybody), managed to splice the missing bits in? Knows of a version we can work with? A work-around?
I have heard a rumour that Esmertec are working on a new version for Windows Mobile but no firm information, so that's probably wrong aswell.
Very sad.
Sniff.
Some input or the cat gets it ...
... right.
So you all know how to implement JSR-82 into Esmertec on the Dash/Excalibur but have decided that, for my own good and a bloody-good laugh, to keep this information from me.
Okay. That's fair enough.
I would probably only do something silly with it anyway.
So I say to you, arbiters of all things known, how do I make the non-Java versions of GPSGate and something akin to Bluetooth Remote Control work on my Dash/Excal?
In case you think you can leave me twisting in the wind whilst you snigger up your sleaves, I leave you with the following equation -
x+y+a=z
Where x = A bloke
y = A cat
and a = A new roll of Gaffer tape.
What is z?
Think about it and see how you can help me, and the cat, in our hour of need.
I thank you.
So you won't talk eh?
Okay.
You leave me no choice but to answer the above equation by way of demonstration.
If you're squeemish, look away now.
In the equation; z=
It's no good belly-aching now, this is your fault. You made me do it. I didn't want to. Oh no! This is on your head. Hang that head in shame at your craven lack of concern for a fellow creature ...
hahahah.

Bluetooth headphones not connecting to phone?

I dont know whats been up w/ my tilt 2, but i just received a new phone today (sent the last one in for RMA because i thought it was defective) but this phone is doing the same exact thing. When in initially go to setup my phone (using the NRG ROM) the bluetooth headset connects, but only to Hands Free. But for some reason i cannot get it to connect to Stereo Audio. I've tried it with two of my Sony Headsets and it just wont work. Every time i try it just says "Connection Failed" with Stereo Audio, but Hands-Free connects just fine. I dont think its the headsets, as they connect just fine to my fuze (touch pro) and my original tilt (tytn ii). Does anyone have ANY idea what could be causing this? I really need to get this fixed by this coming Monday
i'm not sure if this is because of the widcomm vs ms bt stack issues that some people have been talking about. but here's a pic of what my phone shows when attempting to connect

Exactly the same issue I have with my Jensen and my NoName headphones, Both require manual intervention each time but the 'headset' connects fine. So have you replaced the stack with the MS one? Are you on a custom ROM?

no i haven't replaced it...i'm hoping someone will come up w/ a method allowing us to replace the widcomm w/ the ms stack. you're able to manually connect it? i can't even do that
This is very similar to the problem I outlined here. At first I thought it was related to the set of headphones that I was using, then I thought it might be related to Wm 6.5 and my AT&T Tilt 2, but now it appears that it's probably something that HTC has tweaked...?
Just recently I tried to pair my headphones with my friends T-Mobile Touch Pro2 Wm 6.1 and I got the very same connection issue as illustrated in the screen shot above. I've been without the use of my headphones for a month now. I sure hope somebody can help us solve this issue.

Mouse and Keyboard

I have an "freedom i-Connex" BT keyboard and an "inland" BT mouse. I have been able to get the to pair. But when I try to get it to connect it just stays on "connecting..." until I turn off Bluetooth. It says that they are paired as a "HID Device." I have looked online a bit, and the keyboard symbol that should show up does not (here is a pic of my settings screen). Is it just that the Nitro HD is not compatible with a mouse and keyboard? Does anybody know what it would take to fix that?
Thanks a ton guys.
Also, I'm new to the forum, so.... What's up e'ry body???

I've tried 3 different bluetooth keyboards and a Microsoft bluetooth mouse and none of them worked for me either. I noticed with the all keyboards, after putting them in pairing mode and going through the pairing process, the Nitro would show them as being paired but the keyboards just stayed in pairing mode so I don't think they actually paired.
All 4 bluetooth devices worked fine with CM7 on an HP Touchpad so I guess that sorta answers your second question about how to fix it, and that would be to get CM9 on the Nitro.
Ha ha... Thanks. I did a little bit more research. I didn't find anything on this phone specificaly, but no LG phone seems support BT mouse and keyboard. Samsung, HTC, Motorola(I think) all work fine right out of the box. No LG. I tried a few different programs, but no cigar. Seems like we'll just have to wait for CM. We're almost there.
P.S. I'm still new so I can't post any external links, but they're almost there, I promise. I just can't show you.
Logitech keyboard
I have Logitech Keyboard for Android 3.0 that works fine with my Windows PC and with Archos 70 (Android 2.2.x). No luck with LG though - it pairs but then reports that keyboard is not compatiblewith my phone. ICS 4.0.4.
---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:43 PM ----------
LG support person told me that
"the Human Interface Profile required for a Bluetooth keyboard to be supported is not present on this phone. so unfortunately it's not supported"
I don't think that very many people care about this, but it works on CM 10.1.... woot :victory:

I have a different Samsung BT keyboard but the layout looks similar. There are a ton of Android shortcut keys that are very useful. Quick access to the menu and notification pull-downs in particular.

You tried it on a windows device? can you do it for me?
There's a fullsize Keyboard from Anker, with Android and Windows support. And the only one with AAA-Batteries, much superior capacity vs. the tiny internal lithiums of the others. It seems to have no internal memory to remember coupled devices, but this is maybe common for keyboards. The Note remembers the keyboard, after pressing the coupling button on the kb, hit the Note's screen once and it works, with the samsung kb driver taking over. The no fun part is, that later i have to go into device settings to reactivate Swiftkey, which could handle external kbs as well, and on other devices does.

If you prefer the logitech k810, you should get that one. It works very well. I've used it for months without any problems. Some of the earlier N10.1 2014s were defective and had problems with bluetooth keyboards in general, not the just the k810.

[Windows] Use remote control on PC

Hi Guys, how are you?
Sorry if the title doesn't meet the rules, I didn't came here since my Nexus 5 died, a long time ago!
Well, enough talk about me.
The title says it all, is there any way to use and/or remap the TV stick remote control with a PC (Windows 10) with bluetooth or, if not, any other protocol?
I've been lookin for everywhere and in the very little informations I got, nothing seem's to work. I can pair the remote on my PC through bluetooth, it register under the nickname of "AR", but the remote does nothing. AHK and AHKHID doesn't register the remote pressed buttons so I can't remap them. I'm new to AHK, so maybe I do something wrong.
If you have any information to give me, don't be shy!
I want to use it for Plex on Windows, my old laptop does a pretty nice job as media center. As of why I don't use the TV Stick, it's because it's the worst, most unusable, slower, buggier piece of garbage I ever bought, thankfully it was cheap, but I don't even understand how such a product can reach the market, in it's final days, it couldn't even start Prime Video. But the remote control might be useful!
Have a nice day you all!

Hi 0815hoffi! Thanks for your time! I was so desperate that I already tried, mind you, and AntiMicro simply tell me that it find no device ^^'
Thanks for the try ^^
I ordered a cheap'o remote... on Amazon, they got me all the time. It's just sad, because if the Amazon Remote had a way to remap keys, it would make less waste... I won't use even though it's working great
