Did anyone tried to sucessufuly connect a wiimote to our SM-T800?
From what i've read, its known fact that since 4.2 and the change of the bluetooth stack, the connection between wiimotes and android devices was lost. But since our device is more recent than that, the oldest firware we had was already the 4.4.2 Kit Kat, so it was never suported from the beginning.
I've tried several firmwares, from 4.4 to 6, from the stock version to CM12 or AOSP, and specialized software like Bluez IME, Wiimote Controller or BT USB Joystick Center, and never had luck with pairing (I can pair in CM12 with Bluez IME, but the wiimote just blinks, and no software recognize the controller, so it's pretty much useless).
Obviously this is not a serious problem that affects a community, so i guess that there will never be a dev working for a fix, but if anyone was more sucesseful than me, i would love to know what was his solution. And no, "using a different controller", is not a good answer!
Thanks!

While downloading a few apps, like the Wii controller mod made by one of our own xda developers, it appears that the desire has a non-standard bluetooth arrangement compared to something like the Nexus One? Rather than timing out, the application isn't even recognizing that bluetooth is turned on. The help section tells me vaguely that its an issue with the device itself...
What are the details on this? I've read that this is a flaw with any Sense UI device. I don't have any other bluetooth devices to test it with (except a Wii controller) but does bluetooth even work on the desire?? Would rooting fix my issues?

I have the same issue connecting a Wiimote to my Desire. My Bluetooth does work though, with everything but the Wiimote, I expect your bluetooth is also fine.
I expect the Wiimote app is conflicting with something about the Sense UI. Maybe the fact that Sense-enabled handsets also come with HTC's IME keyboard stock, since the Wiimote app is in fact a replacement IME.
After pairing, it said that it is paired but not connect
I have tried some different ROMs and i found that only the CM7 supports the wireless keyboard, but i really like the Sense UI.
btw, i have tried all the apps on the market that may help to use such a HID, none of them works. and i found that here(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715913) they gave a solution for Desire, i also do that since i think the android of these two are similar, it still not works.
Would be nice yes...! never tried pairing a keyboard though...

hi any luck withe the keyboard
Have not paired any keyboard yet. But I did pair a mouse on the ICS ROM by Lord.
It works amazingly with on-screen pointer.
Also the sense ROMs may not support bluetooth KeyBoard because HTC's Bluetooth stack doesn't support them.
In Cyanogenmod you can flawlessy pair with a Bluetooth Keyboard, I use one of those mini-keyboards daily, it's awesome
hi,
i was under the (possibly wrong) impression that gingerbread natively supported bluetooth keyboards. (bt hid)
im at the moment stuck with the OTA update and cant seem to get my igo bluetooth keyboard to work.
any drivers that i can use with gb + igo keyboard?
regards,
asmd.
As far as I know, the problem has been with Sense (which was not upgraded with the OTA) and not with the version of android. I have used CM7 in the past and the HID profile works great. Maybe someone here who is using a Sense 3.0 Rom can validate if HID keyboards or even Wiimotes will work with the new Sense. My guess is no...
thanks for the reply.
Snap!! anybody know how to get a Igo bluetooth keyboard working with the current evo 4G GB OTA?

My microsoft BT keyboard pairs, but doesn't connect. Same issue I had with froyo. Running Mikg 2.15 rom. When i tried the same with cm7, it pair perfectly. Not a complete deal breaker, but would of been nice. I recall reading previously that HID support had to be part of the BT stack. Whether the BT stack is a function of sense or not, I don't know. Practical testing suggests it is.
I realize this thread became a little bit old, but did anyone ever find a solution here? Or is Sense just totally incapable of working with a BT hid keyboard?
I just this past week got a new mini BT keyboard and was excited about all the prospects of using it. I'm currently on Sense MikG 2.5 and have been for about the last 6-8 months, after about a 6 month run on CM7.
I didn't realize, I guess, that there was such a vast difference in terms of BT HID devices. Anyway, I'd seen reference to an Anthrax kernel, but now see no way of downloading it.
Can anyone help out in that regard? And would the Anthrax kernel solve that issue? I might be looking to use the Anthrax kernel anyway.
I have been working to find a way to get my Igo connected. There was some small progress last night. I've been running sense 3.5. Last night I threw in a se of but hid files. Before it would even pair. Now the keyboard pairs but will not connect. For now I am using an ics rom to be adle to use my mouse. It connects with no problem. On sense 3.5 it pairs and connects. But it disconnects in less than a second
I'm having the same problems I have an LG Bluetooth keyboard and sadly running sense I can never get it to work aosp Roms seem to work fine though
Hello, I been searching around and can't seem to find any specific answer to this problem. When trying to pair a bluetooth keyboard I own I get the message "HID Device not supported". It works on two other android phones, namely the ZTE Blade and Samsung GT-I5500.
I've tried rooting the phone and using apps such as bluetooth keyboard easy connect, blueinput and bluekeyboard jp and they don't seem to help at all.
Both of the phones that the keyboard worked on had Cyanogen Mod 7 installed so I'm guessing that's perhaps why they worked.
I'm guessing this will only be fixed when a custom kernel that works for the Samsung Galaxy Y is created. Is that correct? Or is there another way to get this keyboard working?
Thanks very much,
Michael
I just recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and was hoping to hook up a WiiMote to play some classic emulators, however the "WiiMote controller" app itself does not pair the two. I read somewhere that because of the bluetooth stack Samsung loads on, not all devices are supported. I do have the tablet rooted, but it is still running stock rom as I have not found other compatible roms to run on it yet. Is there any workaround to remove the bluetooth stack and load a standard Android on, or do I have to wait for more updates from dev?

I have not looked into it, so I do not know if Samsung is using anything other than the stock BT stack.
I don't know of any way to easily changing the stack. It requires several things, kernel support, modules & the new stack code integrated into hardware specific drivers. BlueZ, has a plugin & source available written to specifically avoid proprietary BT code, but again, you'd need to at the very least compile a new kernel, then find & modify stock modules. I am not so sure that BlueZ has an HID profile, so it may not work anyway. A custom rom is not going to affect this & most likely, your best bet is getting the app developer to add device support.
