Curious problem with bluetooth (interference?) keyboard and mouse - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there guys!
This is my first thread, there seems to have been a thread on every problem I've encountered until now..
I have a motorola bluetooth keyboard
and a samsung bluetooth mouse
The keyboard works amazingly well on its own on my note 2. However when I also connect the mouse it starts to lag and type like thissssss. It's so bad it makes the keyboard unusable as you spend more time correcting what you wrote.
If this was a case of normal interference, I'd call it bad luck and leave it there.. HOWEVER - I tested them both on my macbook pro and they work as intended together. Now this puzzles me greatly as I thought they were interfering with each other's frequency, so shouldn't that be independent of the device I'm using?
Since they can work together, I was wondering if anyone could help me out with any suggestions of what's going on so I can come to some kind of solution/fix?
Thanks, looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Any chance the cpu is underclocked (power saving mode in settings)?

Unfortunately it's not

Look for external keyboard helper in app store. Set delay settings to your liking. You will to have that set as your keyboard. Be aware that samsung keyboard tries to turn on depending on what Rom you ate running. I am somewhat disappointed in the bluetooth performance on my note 2. That is about all I am disappointed about.

Thank you so much! It worked like a charm! I actually already had the app installed, it was just set to no delay by default. I'm so glad I don't have to go out and replace my mouse
What exactly was it that disappointed you about the bluetooth performance?

On some of the ROM/kernels floating around I have had TERRIBLE bluetooth performance, voice wouldn't work to dial numbers over a bluetooth connection, but would work during a phone call, couldn't connect to more than one device without restarting the phone.
However Assassin Rom with the kernel that comes stock with it, that fixes all the problems I have had with bluetooth.

Oh man, I had no idea! It's been ok for what I've used it for, up until this problem, but now its fixed I'm pretty happy with it.
I just wished bluetooth used less battery.. or if the phone powered itself by creating energy :fingers-crossed: but thats probably only going to happen in 4.3

Also, try connecting to wifi using 5ghz (if you are on wifi). I have terrible problems when using 2.4ghz wifi and bluetooth together.

This solved my problem.
There's just not enough bandwidth available for 3 simultaneous devices connected to the same device on 2.4GHz band.

[Q] To those of you using the moto keyboard and Razer Orochi Mouse

Do you find that your keyboard disconnects a lot? When I'm using it with my mouse it tends to disconnect and un-pair an awful lot. So,thinking my keyboard was just a bit busted, I exchanged it for a different one. Aaaaand this one seems to do the same thing. Anyone have similar issues? I know tons of you are using the same configuration. I'm on the tiamat rom.
bring up my post
anyone.....
I don't think anybody has that specific combination. But maybe if you rephrased to Bluetooth mice as a general subject, you may get some answers.
at least 4 other users have commented and posted pictures of this specific combo in other threads.
Well maybe go for a direct approach and pm them?
I havnt had any issues... but i dont regularly use both of them at the same time. I mostly been using my XOOM by itself. Are you using a custom rom or kernel? Have you tried doing a factory reset?

yes, my keyboard disconnects constantly, and I have to go into settings to connect it again. I try pressing all the buttons, turning it on and off......doesn't help. My Microsoft bluetooth mouse doesn't disconnnect. I tried turning off the mouse and just using the keyboard, but still have the disconnects....the onscreen keyboard keeps popping up. I'm typing this now on the Moto keyboard.....it's a great size, and I can type really fast on it. When it's connected.
edit: Ok, I think it actually was the mouse (Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000)....it's been disconnected for a while, and the keyboard is working fine. So I have to find another mouse. It really was neat being able to use the mouse, but if I wanna type really fast, I gotta turn it off. I missed 3 eBay snipe bids because the keyboard wouldn't connect. LOL
maybe it's a mouse issue in general then? I have a different mouse than you and your symptoms sound exactly like mine. BUMP THAT, could you do some testing for us? Just use your mouse and keyboard together more often.

I was chatting on Facebook for a while using just the keyboard with the mouse turned off, and it was typing in all caps a lot and wouldn't backspace some of the time. I gave up and used the touch keyboard. I'm away on vacation, but when I go back home I have another of the same Moto keyboards. I'LLC have to try that. It was practically free with that 50% off, $50 off sale they had, so I have 2. Oh, nice...it auto corrected i'll to I'LLC. Nothing is working for me today! LOL

I will try to replicate the problem. Anything u r doing in particular? How long should I wait before I say im done?
occasionally it'll go forever with no problems for me. Other time's it'll disconnect and give me issues within the first minute
Sync keyboard
Sync mouse
Do stuff
Try syncing the mouse first too, whatever
I tried both out and nothing... I was on facebook for about 15 - 20 minutes and I didnt have any issues. Im running BRD's 3.1 HC update not the tiamat rom. I can test again later and see if it acts up, very odd tho.
I'm on the rom. jumphour what are you on.

Motorola Xoom WiFi - Tiamat Xoom 1.4.4 overclocked to 1.54 GHz
so stock image with tiamat kernel then
Yes im on stock, with tiamat kernel. Im gonna update to tiamat 1.1 rom soon.
Sorry to resurrect this thread, but this still seems to happen, regardless of the keyboard and device. I have a Nexus 7 with the Logitech keyboard, and the Orochi conflicts with it as well. It's a problem with Android in general.
For what it's worth, the Bluetooth Settings menu shows both the Orochi and the keyboard as keyboard devices, as in you can select a language/layout that the Orochi uses, even though it's just a mouse. Maybe that's why we're seeing the conflict.

[Q] Bluetooth A2DP audio occasionally drops out for a second on custom ROMs

Hello all,
I have a very odd problem that I'm hoping others may have run into and solved. When I'm playing audio over the A2DP data path to my car, the audio randomly will drop for half a second, then gradually comes back to full volume over perhaps a second of time. Speaking like a programmer, it's almost like something mutes the audio and then slides the volume up in a loop or something.
This problem did not occur on Bombaridier and the older Synergy Kernel, however it is happening with the newer kernel on Juggernaut v5, Paradox and SlickMOD, leading me to believe something in the kernel or newer system binaries might be causing it. This behavior happens in Pandora, Amazon MP3 and also the stock Music app.
Thinking that maybe a stray notification was the problem, I've tried disabling notifications in all of the apps I know of that notify, I've also tried switching the phone into vibrate and finally into full-silent, but it does not seem to affect the behavior. I have found no likely cause. I wish I was able to log alsa changes; maybe a script running constantly with something like:
Code:
while (true)
do cat /proc/alsa/some_alsa_status_entry >> /tmp/alsalog
sleep 1
done
Does anyone else have any ideas as to what this might be? It's really annoying!
Thanks in advance,
Pete

I second this as an issue that I have run across quite often. I use this BT for music in my car on a daily basis. I usually get a .5 second audio drop out at lest twice each song. Seems to be about every 2 minutes if I would have to guess.
I have just learned to get used to it but it would be fantastic if this could be resolved.
I've also tried fiddling with the CPU governor ant the IO scheduler, but to no avail. Im wondering if there is a bug in the bluetooth module introduced in the latest kernel.

What version of the kernel on your warfare mod? SlickMOD uses the Darkside 2.6.35.14 kernel.

Hi Pete,
I've noticed it on Digital Warfare 2.5.1 and BeastMOD 5.0 ("Test 13"), using TDJ's personal kernel and the same 2.6.35.14 above, respectively.
I'll post to Melvin on rootzwiki in the hopes that he can investigate maybe.
It might be better to bring this up in other sections as well. I came across this post by accident while researching extended batteries.

I originally posted it in a different forum, but a moderator kicked it over here. It's not really an accessories question as I'm pretty sure it's a kernel bug, but I wasn't about to argue with site moderators on a forum like this where I'm definitely the new kid on the block.
That being said, if you have some other suggestions as to where we can ask about this, I'm all ears and would be more than willing to help debug/diagnose. I've been a Linux user since '96, so I'm unafraid of poking around in the kernel's guts to get answers.
Pete
Yeah that's the problem with this place... and why I have less than 10 posts.
On second thought, I'm tempted to just wait. It sounds like we will have a proper ICS rom and true kernel on about April 25th, to coincide with the launch of the HTC One S on T-Mobile. I can't find the threads. Hopefully then it will be an issue of the past.
I'm glad I'm not the only one though.
Just a thought....I don’t think this has anything to do with CPU performance
Hi, I have a Galaxy 2s with this exact problem but I wonder if I might offer a suggestion as to what could potentially be the cause. I have no idea how to fix it but I’m hoping that what I share here might help someone who knows more about the way these things work to be able to solve the problem.
I have spent much of my career working in Broadcast Radio, the problem I have heard my phone have with audio dropouts followed by either a ramp up of volume back to the previous level OR an audio dropouts followed by a momentary slight speed shift in the audio playback (sounds a bit like an old cassette recorded when the batteries are starting to fail) many people would probably not notice the later problem because it is very subtle and you have to know what you’re listening for.
Anyway, I believe this could be caused because of a lack of word clock sync between the phone and the bluetooth receiver. I say this because there have been times when I have had digital audio devices such as CD players that are connected to an audio console or digital amplifier and with both devices free running in terms of their clock synchronisation exhibit almost exactly the same symptoms.
You see all digital audio devices require that the audio data be put into frames much the same as regular Ethernet data is transmitted around a network is put into frames, however in order for the audio to be at the correct pitch and speed generally speaking both the playback device (Phone) and the receiving device (Bluetooth receiver) need to have the same word clock, otherwise you end up with the two devices running freely and the audio frames wont by in sync.
Depending on the Error correction implemented (sample rate conversion) on the receiver you can get really odd audio results. I think that this is what is causing this problem. Basically the Bluetooth receiver and the phone aren’t in sync so every few minutes you get a drop out.
It doesn’t seem to happen when you are talking on the phone which makes me think that when you have a call connection as this is bi-directional, the phone is probably synchronised to the Bluetooth device word clock. But when you are listing to music the connection is mono-directional so there is no sync.
Anyway just a thought. Maybe someone out there who understands the way these units synchronise can figure out a fix.
Mine has random just disconnects from the phone altogether. I have Jawbone Era, Voyager Pro Plus, and a Jabra Wave + and all will just randomly disconnect and have a hard time connecting back to phone audio. It will reconnect to media pretty much first time but won't show coonected to phone audio for some reason unleass I turn off BT, turn off headset, and sometimes even re-boot phone.
I am sure you guys have ruled this out, but this was a common problem with bluetooth audio on android. I haven't had the problem for a long time, but I used to have to disable wifi during my commute due to this dropout. Can you turn off wifi and see if the issue still happens? I was able to identify it by changing the time between wifi scan. If you had custom rom settings you could push it out and sure enough, my bluetooth dropouts happened on the same schedule (2s, 10s, more)
Just a thought.
I had this issue when I tried out juggernaut, so I went right back to Bombardier with Synergy kernel. Anyone have this on any if the ICS roms?

I disable my wifi while I'm in the car, so this wasn't my issue. Thanks for the suggestion though!
I used to have occasional a2dp problems, however I have not had them since I started using various ICS releasese. The problems I would occasionally have would be a total loss of bluetooth till I rebooted the phone.
Since using Infamous I haven't had the problem other then for some odd reason occasionally having to reenter the PIN #
I'm using a Scoche Bluefusion in my car.
It had to be the fuse.

After upgrading to DARKSIDE's latest ICS rom, this problem has not recurred. I'm assuming that my early thought was correct in that it was some kind of kernel bug.

With Darkside and the stock ROM I have not only this problem, but crackly/staticy audio and my phone and car won't communicate once I've shut the car off. I have to completely re-pair the phone. They're bugs in 4.0.3, which Samsung dumped off on us.
4.0.4 via CM9 already doesn't exhibit the connection issue (I have to turn Bluetooth on and then off though) but I'm not sure about the others yet.

(Q) wifi/bluetooh issue

Weirdest thing I found after purchasing the Moga controller for my note 2. When I have my bluetooth enabled I get all sorts of wifi issues. 1st was it would disconnect from my access point and go to 3g. Once I opened my wifi settings I would notice that my access point was disabled and I had to force connect again. Did some searching and disabled the sprint smart connection or what ever is called. It worked! Played around a bit and was extremely happy. Few minutes ago I felt like doing some testing and apparently now I noticed when bluetooth is enabled my wifi will not disconnect anymore but it will load a page extremely slow and indefinitely but As soon as I disable bluetooth my wifi works perfect. Please help me figure out if it's a known bug with a fix coming in ota or if my phone is defective. I've only had it a few days and I don't want to root or wait too long before I take it back. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

It was the damn MOGA controller. Forewarning for those thinking of purchasing this device. UNPAIR the MOGA when your done with it. Idk what the phones does on the technical side but I do know that THAT fixed my wifi problem. Im guessing it stays looking for the controller, bug maybe? Who should I contact to report that bug lol

Craziness. 10 mbps slower every single time...turn of BT Device and BaM.. speeds are normal again
bt on the phone itself remained on. all I did was power off/disconnect the headset and speeds went back up. definitely explains why I had issues streaming in starbucks wifi yesterday. everything buffered. turned off my headset so friends could hear the video and it worked flawlessly

really odd. in my case if my bluetooth headset is playing audio my speedtest come in 10mbps slower. if I turn the headset off (pandora still streaming) the speed test immediately runs 10 mbps faster. this only happens on wifi.

Bluetooth issues still in 4.2.2

Still having the same Bluetooth issues I had in 4.2.1 in 4.2.2...
Occasionally when turning off bluetooth, it gets stuck in a shutting down state. You can't then turn bluetooth back on and the only way to recover is to reboot.
I don't have that issue. Are you using custom ROM..?
No completely stock, not rooted or anything.
Looks like the issue has been around in some way or another since Ice Cream Sandwich! Can't believe they haven't fixed it yet!...

I also just updated my nexus 10 to 4.2.2. same issues. my keyboard and mouse won't stay connected and it gets stuck on turning off! I really want this to replace my laptop but it can't with these problems. it also still seems to studder on video a bit with ad2p. I sold my note 10.1 in hopes that this update would fix my only issue with an awesome tablet and it didnt .what a disappointment.
Same here. Was working good for the first 2 hrs being connected to my headphones, connected to my in car, skips just like before.
I feel stupid saying this, but it seems to get worse over time. Can't understand how length of time connected would matter
Yeah this is pissing me off it will not connect to my cars head unit (Sony), im running stock 4.2.2 rooted
Can't believe theres no fix or workaround
Im also still have issues with 4.2.2 and stuttering. Also quality is still lacking big time from 4.1.2 stack

Carbon Rom 1.1 (4.2.2) with AK 691, flashed Tiny's GPU libraries update to enable true 4.2.2 kernel usage.
Turned off "High Performance Sound" option in Trickster Mod settings and all BT issues are resolved for first time since I had 4.1 running. That includes skipping/distortion with Google Play Music, overall performance and linkup issues, and most important all the bluetooth controls on my RocketFish headphones finally work again!
May not work for everyone, but I've been trying to resolve this for quite some time and had the Eureka moment today!
So I'm wondering. Does the bluetooth stuttering problem only occur when connected to a wifi network? That type of problem has existed for quite some time. The iPhone 3G had an issue where bluetooth phone and media audio would severely skip and stutter when connected to a wifi network. From what I understand since bluetooth and wifi b/g both use the 2.4GHz band the two interfered with each other. Turning wifi off always fixed the problem. The HTC Nexus One also suffered from this type of issue on all Google stock ROM's. I'm assuming it was also because of bluetooth and 2.4GHz wifi interfering with each other. Is this the type of issue that Nexus devices have been experiencing on Android 4.2 and 4.2.1?
havn`t got any problem before flashing 4.2,and now all right,seens like hardware problem in same series of gnexus
Same issue. Bluetooth seems to reset when the phone is rebooted, however it isn't long before it's on the fritz again. Very annoying for car connection and renders my Bluetooth speaker practically useless. Please acknowledge and fix Google, this affects your flagship range!

That includes skipping/distortion with Google Play Music, overall performance and linkup issues, and most important all the bluetooth controls on my RocketFish headphones finally work again!
May not work for everyone, but I've been trying to resolve this for quite some time and had the Eureka moment today!

This still working for you? I had actually gone back to 4.2.1 stock as it was worse for me after 4.2.2 upgrade

Do you have a copy of the 4.2.1 ?i cant find it,google only has 4.2.2 ontheir page,4.2.1 seemed better,as it did not have the audio bug where you can't use the equalizer in google music when moving the sliders,if you have a working 4.2.1 for galaxy nexus can you upload it somewhere?

[Q] Is there a custom ROM that fixes bluetooth disconnect issue?

My Note has the issue where when paired to a bluetooth keyboard it will disconnect after about 5-10 seconds of not typing. Are there any custom ROMs that fix this problem?
Thanks,
Hackhound

No Bluetooth keyboards are officially supported by this device as yet, could use USB OTG cable to plug keyboard directly into tablet

I understand that Samsung is not supporting bluetooth keyboards since they want everyone to use the stylus. They probably never will. What I want to know is if someone who has experiencing the disconnect issue had it go away after a custom ROM was installed on their Note.

Hi Hackhound,
There are two workarounds:
-stream music to a Bluetooth headset while using the Keyboard. The constant music stream keeps the BT connection open. I've tested it and it works.
-install Bluetooth Keyboard Easyconnect. Follow the instructions. Don't loose faith. Play with it for some minutes. It took me five-ten minutes for the first time to get a proper setup. It works! And now I am able to use my keyboard! If I add External Keyboard Helper Pro with which I can remap my keyboard layout I can say that I have made my way to productivity heaven.
Oh I forgot to add that the latter solution works only with stock kernel on KitKat... Or at least I had problems with xluco v1 an haven't tested with v1.1. And I am on xKat v3.0 at the moment.
Cheers!

I hope this isnt a transient thing, but installing BK Easyconnect seems to have solved my BT keyboard disconnect. Bluetooth keyboard has disconnected just once during the past 2 hours of use, and that was during a 10 min idle period. No other"fix" had worked to keep my BT keyboards connectd up until now, and I have tried all of them mentioned on this forum and elsewhere (factory reset, set timeout to never, toggle onscreen keepboard switch, "Null keyboard" app, "bluetooth keepalive" app, remove sd card, and probably more things that I cant remember)! Major props to you and the developer of the app. I was about to give up on this otherwise wonderful tablet. I just hope its not a fluke....I'll keep this thread updated if things change. You might want to post your fix in the 14 page long Bluetooth keyboard disconnect thread here. Im sure others will appreciate it )
Im running hashcheck 4.4.2 ROM and using the Motorola keyboard with the built in cursor stick mouse. Both keyboard and mouse functions are working. No lag, no stutter, no constant disconnects every 5 seconds *** crossing fingers****

Hi sam2c,
I am glad that I could help You out but I have to confess that I was not the wise one. After many attempts I have found the solution by just Googling around with different keyword combinations... And on a foreign language google play comment there was this gem.
Anyway I'll post it on the BT KB thread.
Thanks,
