So pardon me if this is an unnecessary thread, or if no one else has ever had this issue but it drove me insane trying to figure out how to get this to work. That being said, I discovered how to pair the Motorola bluetooth keyboard (the one made for the Xoom) with our HTC Evo 3D. If anyone has ever tried this/ own's the Moto keyboard, you probably know that if you just put the device in pairing mode and try to pair it just won't work. You get a box that pops up for a split second with a pairing code and then it disappears right away before you can punch it in. But I knew that the keyboard and the Evo both do bt HID. So I did tons of digging and searching and couldn't find ANYTHING on how to get it to pair with the EVO 3D (apparently it pairs normally and just fine with just about everything else that supports bt HID devices). Finally I looked in the manual, and noticed a special pairing mode that is supposed to be used when pairing with a computer. I figured "what the hell" and gave it a try with the Evo and it worked!!! To get the Moto Bluetooth keyboard paired with the Evo 3d here's whatcha gotta do:
1. Put the Moto keyboard in "computer pairing mode" by holding down the keys V + A + R while powering on the keyboard. (I kept them pressed even after releasing the power button until the green indicator light on the keyboard stayed lit indicating it was in pairing mode)
2. On your phone in the bluetooth settings menu, select "search for devices"
3. Now when the Motorola keyboard shows up, select it and when the box pops up prompting you to enter a pairing code it will remain on the screen for as long as you need to put the code in.
4. ON THE MOTO KEYBOARD enter in the numeric code that your phone gives you as the pairing code then PRESS THE ENTER KEY on the keyboard (it doesn't say that you need to, but it will not work if you don't).
Woo-hoo! The keyboard is now paired with the Evo 3D!! It actually works really well with the phone (No lag, or any beefs that I've got at least. I actually typed this whole post on my Evo with the Moto keyboard) and even some of the Android Specific function keys that were designed for the Xoom are working for me I hope that this helped anyone out there that was frustrated and couldn't figure out how to pair this awesome keyboard with this beastly phone.
sweet i still have my keyboard from when i had the xoom. thanks for reminding me about it now if the phone just had a kickstand built in

Hey man, I'm glad I could help you out! I remember when I was trying to figure it out, I'd all but given up lol. I'm glad I could help someone else out with getting it to work
Thanks for this! Helped me pair with my Sensation 4G and my hp touchpad. If only bluetooth worked on the ICS ports for the xoom...lol
I hope people are still looking at this thread.
The pairing went flawlessly, but I cant type .
In settings it says Paired, but not connected.
The keyboard flashes 5 times and stays off, it does this over and over.
And when I type the Bluetooth settings say it is connected for 1 second and then it is not connected anymore
I hope this is enough info .
Thanks in advance
Haven't ever heard of a problem like that. Weird... After you successfully paired, try long pressing on the keyboard in Bluetooth settings and see what it says. Also, this may sound silly, but try some brand new batteries.

Ahh,
It was my custom kernel
I got another one, now everything is fine . It really is an awesome keyboard, it is almost like I have an computer in my pocket, because I am also connected to my pc monitor with MHL.
That's why I love android, suck it Iphone
thanks anyway for you help..

THANK YOU cuz now my Samsung Charge connects with bluetooth keyboard!
Thank You Thank You Tyler MF -- for the directions to pair a motorola keyboard (for xoom).
I have been searching far and wide for the key to pairing my Samsung Droid Charge with the same keyboard you are using. Everything said it was possible, theoretically, but I was having the same experience you did with the Evo.
My employer issued me a laptop and I drive around three counties all day for work and I really needed a device (not locked down by an IT department) that I could quickly type notes to document my work and to respond to lengthier emails and texts. I got an Asus Transformer, which is a very nice device, but too much extra weight to add to my briefcase, especially since it is extra effort to go online with it.
But now! Thanks to you! I can do all of this work on my phone with the Motorola Keyboard and the Logitech bluetooth mouse !!
Sweet!!:victory:

SGS2 pairing with Motorola bluetooth keyboard
Many thanks. You've helped me pair my keyboard with my galaxy gear
it’s 2020 and I’m very grateful for this thread.
I had been using my motorola keyboard with an ipad pro 2nd gen well enough, but when I swapped out the dead nonrechargeable batteries for new rechargeable ones, I had a helluva time reconnecting. I went thru connection procedure in manual at least like 5 times and was so angry at the disappearing passcode. I saw the VAR computer mode in the manual but since it was 4am I was gonna give up. Til I saw this thread which confirmed to me that I should have tried it all along.
Anyways, I’m typing thank you on a paired motorola keyboard at least 6 years (Edit: actually nearly a decade!) later from OP. Oh and it’s nearly 5am bc it took me so long to make an account oops. Since OP’s signature mentions a galaxy s ii, I don’t think they will necessarily respond but I just wanted to express gratitude for this forum’s existence

Hey all you gaming hd fans out there, just thought id let you in on a little discovery of mine.
The Foldable Bluetooth Gamepad DOES work with the HD
I got mine second hand off ebay, but heres a link to the product im talking about:
http://www.order-bulk.com/Bluetooth-Gamepad-For-Mobile-Sony-Ericsson-Nokia-Motorola-LG-Samsung.html?currency=GBP&language=en#googlebase
The first question is, does the HD fit inside the wings, which i can answer with a resounding yes, its a tight fit but with no chance of your HD falling out during a frantic button bashing session!
Its a little tricky to get working with the HD as the install disk, or this driver file:
http://www.gdbint.com.au/downloads/drivers/BGP100_v1502_Games_Included.zip
does not include the HD as a selectable phone, however using this sequence i got it installed:
added the gamepad to my bluetooth devices (not sure this is needed but it what i did)
connected my phone and laptop using a usb activesync
ran the setup.exe from the driver file and clicked a couple of next buttons and an agree
when selecting a phone chose the htc magician
then comes the bit that i had to try a couple of times, the cab runs on the HD and asks where to install, device or storage. the first time i tried device and the program wouldn't open, (an error about certification) so i tried again and installed to storage and hey presto everything worked!!
However there was one more stumbling block in my quest to play zelda on my phone, although the gamepad worked for navigating menus and such like, morphgear would recognise my clicks once i'd started playing. a quick search on google and reinstalling morphgear kicked this problem to touch however and here i am, about the play zelda: a link to the past until i run out of AAA batteries for the pad!!!
So if anybody else out there is into gaming and HD'ing then i would wholeheartedly recommend this product
I haven't noticed any difficulties while installing the driver. The gamepad works just fine, unfortunately the HD doesn't fit in the middle of the gamepad, what makes it quite inefficient, at least for me ...
on my gamepad there are two adjustable rubber grips inside the folding arms to hold the phone in place, try sliding these to the outside of the arms and the HD should squeeze inside:

good find thanks very much, I will probably be buying this tonight!
Many many thanks for the infos...
you just answered all my unanswered questions
ordering it soon.....
I've just received mine...
Works perfect.... more than perfect ..
installed on storage card and call of duty2, flux challenge, pocket clive (zx spectrum emulator) all work fine
Maybe just a barebly noticed lag in communication (a small delay in controls... and i am not so sure about it)
Recommended...
nice
thx for the informations
but i think it looks a lil cheap
isn´t there any posibility to use a normal bluetooth controller for example the PS3 controller ?
It looks cheap but take it from someone who owns one, the build quality on it is on par/close to with Genuine playstation controllers.
Buttons feel good, not mushy and spongy, sliders move smoothly and no poorly fitting parts or grinding in the moving bits. They are REALLY good.
I have to disagree. I've had this bluetooth gamepad for a long time, mainly used for the N95. The quality is average at best and no where near the comfort of any game console controllers. The most annoying feature is the extremely poor battery life. It doesn't last more than a couple of hours... It will cost you a fortune in the long run and frustrate you in the middle of a game.
If you want a controller I would rather use the iGo Stowaway Keyboard. The battery last about 90hrs. Not ideal but it doubles up as a QWERTY.
Hi!
i have buyed bgp100 gamepad too but it seems don't works correctly, A,B,C,D,R button are received from htc hd like same button...
i tried to read with attention qhat mulligan2k say but maybe i don't understand something or i don't know...
with my notebook it works correctly, i think there some driver problem or wm6.5 incompatibility?
thanks for all answer.
Hi everyone ... bought a BGP100 last weekend here: http://www.pearl.de/a-HZ1400-4046.shtml?query=bluetooth gamepad
But if i install the driver via PC (cab installation) and after starting the Gamepad application, there is an error message popup:
"Connection error! Sorry! We don't support this Bluetooth Gamepad."
Anyone has a solution?
hi, you have to install ms version not widcom, it works for me, but there is other problem: A,B,C,D,R are receive from the HD with same exadecimal code and it's unusable for playing...
if it works for you please say something on this board please.
Hmmm ... this Gamepad is absolutely not working. Tried a lot of drivers, MS Bluetooth Stack drivers, Widcomm drivers (with them, the gamepad dialog doesn't start), samsung drivers ... everything.
The same message every time: "Connection error! Sorry! We don't support this Bluetooth Gamepad." --- tried to connect directly via bluetooth, nothing.
I think, the gamepad isn't working for me (as it's not a MSI gamepad )

maybe it is incompativle with winmo devices, maybe bgp100 driver aren't same of your gamepad driver.
I have bought through ebay the exact gamepad.
Please note that mine is the original MSI gamepad.
I have used the drivers for the HTC Magician in the accompanying CD .
I have had no problems at all.
Have in mind that you must install the drivers in the storage card and not in the device

I know that this thread hasn't been posted to in a few months, but I hope that the information that I am posting will help someone. This is my first time posting anything, anywhere, on the web.... so wish me luck.
My current setup is a HTC Sprint Touch Pro flashed to ToO's CricKet rom(very nice). Whilst expirementing with emulation on the device, and mapping the keyboard buttons, all of the Action Buttons were showing up as the same location on the keyboard. Regaurdless of what button I pressed, they all came up as 020 if I remember right. After spending night after night of searching forum after forum, along came a solution. Posted somewhere in the deapths of our very own xda-developers.com I read about this program KforTP. Created by "Jack Wang", I am not sure as to how Mr. Jack came to developing this marvelous tool... but I think it would have happened like this...
Late one night in 2008 while at the bar, Jack sat sat freeloading WiFi on his HTC Touch Pro. Downloading emulators at speeds that would put The Flash to shame.
(Evil Laugh)
After a few rounds too many Jack became enraged at his phone.
"Why won't my Action Buttons map on PockSNES!"
Only it came out in a drunken slur. The bartender knew that Jack was terribly drunk.
"Hey et your drunk #[email protected] outta here!"
As Jack left the bar in his beat-up honda he turned the music up and let the windows down to keep his mind off of driving drunk. Rounding a sharp curve on a wet road Jack soon found himself spinning out of control. Lights were comming from everywhere on the dashboard....
"OH &$#% I'M GONNA DIE!!!!"
The car finally came to a hault, and Jack was deaf to the music wailinng from the speakers.
"Yeeeeeee Haaaaaaw!"
Jack got back on the road and drove safely home. After walking through the threshold of his abode, Jack knew that he survived that crash for only one reason.
"I must code a fix for my problem with the Action Buttons not mapping."
But any way the file is attached so give it a shot, and let me know how you liked my first post ever in my LIFE... any feedback would be nice.... Add me on Facebook... whatever.... oh wait, i never post my email address! But seriously let me know what you think. I have never tried this program on any device except for MY Touch Pro. The code may need to be adjusted if you intend to use it on any other device. I do not take any credit for this program in any way. The authors information is in the "about" section.
Welcome, new net citizen!
I just recently bought a white galaxy s2 from newegg. I have an MHL to HDMI cable incoming, and when I saw that you could use a mouse with the device, I was really excited.
link: I'm too new to post links, but search google for "magic mouse samsung s2" and the youtube link should pop up first.
However, even though I am able to pair a mouse (I've tried a magic mouse and a mini presentation Microsoft Bluetooth mouse so far) when it connects, it instantly disconnects... and it keeps doing that over and over.
Bluetooth is able to keep a connection with other devices, like a headset and transfer data over bluetooth to my computer.
When I called Samsung support, first the girl didn't know connecting to a mouse was possible, and upon seeing the video, her response was why would I ever want to do that, and there was nothing she could do to help.
I saw other threads mentioning bluetooth problems could be fixed with a factory reset, but after doing so I have identical behavior. I don't think its a hardware issue, and I applied the newest update 2.3.5... I'm really confused here. What should I do? Any other details required? Maybe my magic mouse just doesn't like my phone?
From what I have heard apple magic mouse does not connect correctly.do you or a friend have a different bt mouse to test?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I have now tested the Bluetooth with a Logitech lazer Bluetooth mouse, in addition to the magic mouse and Microsoft mouse, with the same results. Does anyone else have this problem? Could the mouse HID been disabled by Samsung? or should I do a hardware warantee exchange?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I bought a cheap (8€) noname bluetooth mouse from amazon and it works perfectly on the Galaxy S2 on the stock rom, it also works on my Galaxy S running CM7.
Are you sure you have set your mouse to pairing mode?
(I had to press the connect button for 5 seconds)
I'm sure it's pairing. I press and hold connect on the mouse until it becomes visible to my galaxy s2. It ends up showing up as paired after I tap, but when I tap again, it only connects for a second (enough that the options for that device now show me HID) but it just drops immediately. But perhaps these mice with special buttons (like the Microsoft presentation mouse) and apple mice, and the Logitech mouse, are all beyond the scope of running on the phone.
I bought a super basic and cheap bluetooth mouse ($15 cdn) from amazon, it should arrive in 1-2 weeks. I'll follow up with this then. If the phone can't connect to that, I'm going to call Samsung and ask for a hardware exchange.
Also, I may be able to get my hands on a USB host cable, to see if i can get any mouse period working.
I really can't imagine it being faulty hardware though, considering all other Bluetooth functions work? or am I incorrect in assuming that?
So I decided to see what happens with a Bluetooth keyboard, and indeed I get the same result, connecting for a second then dropping.
I'm going to exchange my unit for a new one, hopefully that solves the issue. I'm getting paranoid that something is different with the white galaxy s2, can someone extinguish those fears for me?

Alright, follow up post. The new phone connects to mice/keyboards fine. It is current on 2.3.3. Could someone with an updated 2.3.5 s2 just confirm that the feature still works after update?
Edit: Ok, i let me phone upgrade from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5, and nothing can pair once again. Wow. Did Sammy really remove this functionality?
Final edit: Flash stock 2.3.6, and mouse will work again. So to recap, 2.3.3 good, 2.3.6 good, 2.3.5 bad
I have an Apple Mighty Mouse which work fine with my SGS1. It doesn't connect to SGS2. Same issue, the connection drops out after a second. My SGS2 is running on 2.3.6 Batista ROM with Siyah 2.3 kernel.
HID Bluetooth killed by 2.3.5 upgrade
Hi, I think I have a good picture of what has happened having trawlled the net looking for answers. In summary:
2.3.3 and 2.3.4 supported and worked with bluetooth HID devices (like my sandberg mini bluetooth keyboard).
2.3.5 as suggested by Samsung key's had issues with bluetooth from the start. It all looked good until you turned bluetooth on then it went into a FREEZE, BLACK SCREEN, LOCK SCREEN cycle with a 20-30 second window at best to try and turn bluetooth off once you realised it, repeating "ad infinitum".
Some folks found that a factory reset cured this. I got a replacement from Otrange UK after a lengthy discussion!
BUT however you may have fixed this is seems that any bluetooth HID device (Mouse, Keyboard) will not stay connected against 2.3.5. They pair ok, they even actually connect for a fraction of a second then bomb out again.
I just spoke to Orange UK Tech who in turn spoke to Samsung who said they were "Not aware" of the issue but would "Escalate a resolution" and get back to me. 2.3.6 is supposedly about to come out for Orange UK within "2 Months" and will contain a fix. Apparently. Looking at other stuff, 2.3.6 does appear to be the best hope.
They confirmed something though; 2.3.5 back to 2.3.3 / 2.3.4 is not supported/advised/safe so waiting for the new version is the only hope.
All this, so the lists won't bounce a'la APPLE and have a blue "bottom of list" flash instead... Ok, maybe there was some good stuff in the rom but it's kinda been overshadowed for me
Good luck out there and hold on to your hope!
I heard back from Samsung support today (Orange having referred my case).
They said that their 2.3.5 was new (erm, yes) and that it wasn't backwards compatible, and for any devices that no longer worked I would have to get that devices supplier to provide new software on that device.
They used a car kit as an example.
So I specifically asked "Are you saying you released an update without any warning, that would render all previosuly compatible bluetooth HID hardware incompatible?" And he answered that this was the case and that I would have to ask Sandberg to update my device so that it would connect to 2.3.5
Now, either he had absolutely no idea what he was talking about, or there is something very wrong at Samsung.
I have asked for him to confirm this to me in an email. (I intend to make use of this writen statement if it confirms the above conversation.)
Has anyone else ever heard anything so bizzarre?
I surely hope this can't be right!
So while I am waiting (and waiting, and waiting, LOL) for my Keyboard Dock, i remembered that I bought the USB adapter for the TF101 (fits into the proprietary charging/dock connector port, provides 1 USB port)
A soon as i attached it, I put a USB Mouse receiver/transmitter and it worked really well. The mouse tracked MUCH better than it even did on the TF101.
Until I went to the browser, and went to type a URL. The onscreen keyboard wouldn't come up (none of them, I have the two stock, plus Swiftkey X Tablet)
Stranger still I see the keyboard icon in the taskbar, and suddenly it hit me! The goofy thing thinks that the dock is attached! Sure enough as soon as I pulled the adpater out, the freaking keyboard popped right up.
None of this is going to cause any major issues, as I have a dock arriving tomorrow (I hope), but it's just another one of those overlooked items, and one that is SURE to get just about NO attention, LOL!
While I appreciate Asus wanting to get the flagship Tablet out there, and get ICS on it (has to be the #1 directive in tablet development at Asus at the moment, Asus needs to do a LOT more testing.
Also, and I have said this before, Asus needs to a) Try and get workable GPS functionality since it was they who put it in the tablet and b) Asus needs to repair the hardware on whatever percentage of tablets that get NO GPS signal at all. There is obviously a software component, since quite a few folks had, then lost SOME GPS function, but I have never had any, and I want it. Even if it is sub par, and works marginally, they advertised the spec, I wanted it, I bought it, I don't have it. End of story, as far as I am concerned.
Nobody has GPS working. Some may say they do but they do not know what they are talking about.
Also since the latest update, wifi location gets turned on automatically when a GPS app is trying to get a location.
Pretty much sweeping it under the carpet, it may work on those that don't know any better but for those that do know the difference it a pretty pathetic attempt.

Dude, Jen, seriously you are such a tool. Most everybody's GPS works. It is just not working well enough to navigate (which I agree is unacceptable). He is saying his won't see a single satellite in any condition. That is not working by definition. You insist on stating things as if they are fact when they may only apply to you. I can cold boot in airplane mode with nothing switching on my wifi and lock satellites in a windowless room in my house. I cannot however navigate. Those things are facts. If I were to continuously post that 'everyone can lock satellites with their prime and those who say they can't are just too stupid to know it' I'm guessing you would get annoyed at some point right? So please, if you have nothing constructive to say or you are too dense to know that just because something is happening to you doesn't necessarily mean it's happening exactly the same way to the whole community, then stfu. Please and thank you.

I haven't seen anyone post this yet, and I'm hoping I won't draw the usual search you fool comments. I am trying to connect to an IOGEAR GBHFK231 handsfree car device which I know usues a passcode to connect. It pairs without prompting me for the passcode, and when it tries to connect i get a message bluetooth device has disconnected, and the BT no longer shows up in the list.
I am currently using Scotts Cleanrom 1.6.5 without any mods installed, but I have had this problem with stock before unlocking, Nils ICS, Scott's Cleanrom ICS, and a few others ICS and GB.
I have also contacted IOGEAR who says they have not received any reports of issues, and will get back with me if they get any information. I'm holding my breath. Notice the blue color.
Any ideas from this renowned collection of geniuses?
This is a cheapo device by the way, and relaceing it isn't a problem. Just looking for answers.
Thanks,
Matt
Wow no responses yet.. I had it connect one time and was able to make a call using voice dial, but after it was disconnected it went back to paired but not connected, then disappeared when attempting to connect. I'm planning to upgrad my car stereo with a bluetooth calling built in model. Am I likely to have similar problems?
Thanks again.
Am I the only one to experience this problem? anyone using a Bluetooth hands free car device and can verify it working? I'm a little hesitant to buy another and have the same problem.

No comments about searching. See? :-D
You might try Amazon reviews to see if there are any reasonable complaints there.
Not sure where Berlin is but, if you live in the south, the bluetooth device itself may overheat on your dash, and that may cause the issue you describe.
Also, not familiar with BT pairing for your device, but you should be prompted for a pin / code. Make sure you're in BT wireless settings on your Rezound when you are trying to pair. It might be good to "forget" your BT device and start with a fresh pairing attempt.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
If you've had the device previously paired to the phone, the phone I'd has changed according to the device. Clear your pair list and re-pair or pair, delete the pair, re-pair.

BT is flaky at best right now with the ICS rom. Mine works most of the time when it wants to. Occasionally I will have to reboot my phone to get it work right.
I have the turtle beach px500 headphones and my phone hooks up to them over Bluetooth just fine. Can make calls, listen to music.

htc uses its own BT stack. Unfortunately, BT still has too many variables which is why I have never bought the BT peripheral for my pioneer system. Not worth 150 bucks to have it not pair with a phone down the line.
Thanks for all the replies. I've been through stack problems in the past with some car audio bt devices never won one yet. This issue started before I ever unlocked my phone, and I have used both GB and ICS roms with no luck so I'm going to rule that out for now. I've started getting error messages that say I am using the wrong pin to pair, but have never been given the box to enter a pin. So far as heat etc this was working fine on my Dinc, and hasn't been in the car since I switched to the Rezound. I have also connected it to other phones while trying to fix it without a problem. Does anyone have a method to force the box to open to enter the pin, or is there possible a security setting that I need to remove?
Well I figure it out. I changed the bt device to a setting to use 2 phones, then reset it to factory default and it's working now. I don't know why the other resets didn't do the same thing, but it's working.
Can anybody confirm that they are having the same problem on their Galaxy Tab 7.7? If I use a bluetooth keyboard, it pairs and sets up and works fine, but if I don't press any keys for exactly one second, then press a key, there is a latency of about 0.5 seconds for the key press to register. I don't have this problem on my Galaxy Nexus, and I can recreate it with both a bluetooth keyboard and a wiimote connected through bluez ime. However, if I connect the wiimote as a non-hid device through wiimote controller, there is no latency after however many seconds. I believe there must be some latency setting to save power, but am not sure. Can anyone advise? I play games with an external keyboard, and it really messes me up. Thanks!
I haven't timed it, but I haven't noticed any latency or issue with my Bluetooth keyboard.

Could you perhaps let me know which model you have (3g or wifi) and which firmware you're running? If you could just test to make sure that the keyboard responds instantly after not being used for about five seconds, I'll flash mine to whatever you have and be forever grateful.
i am also experiencing this, but i am using like a $12 bluetooth keyboard so i just shrug it off since im not bothered by the lag anyway

Good to know that I'm not alone. Hopefully ICS will fix it. I know my galaxy nexus doesn't have this problem so I can only keep my fingers crossed. It wouldn't bother me for text input, but it bothers me hugely when trying to play games, so we'll see if anyone knows how to fix this. Thanks a lot for confirming though.
I'm using a Logitech bluetooth mouse V470 and it's really fast, yes there's a little lag when I stop using it for a few minutes but it's so little that doesn't really bother me. I cant tell you right now about a keyboard, I'll test one tomorrow with and without the mouse and we'll see what happens... I'll get back to you...
Thanks. That's the only real problem with mine right now. I've tried only the Hong Kong firmware, but I don't see there being a difference in the other ones. I imagine that if it's possible to disassemble one of the APKs related to bluetooth and change a timeout value it will work, but I have no idea where to look for such a file.
I connected the bluetooth mouse and a keyboard and they both work great simultaneously, and yes, there's always a delay after you stop using then for a moment but doesn't really bother me...

I'm using a Hong Kong one, and also experience the lag after I stopped using it for awhile. This also affects my Phonejoy game controller at times unfortunately.
Really hope, ICS will fix this.

Same here, it bothers me, but seems it's some general bluetooth go to sleep or whatever issue, after not typing for a couple of seconds, the first keystrokes fail to register for a second or so.
I noticed identical behavior with the Samsung Note.
Glad I found this thread, because I couldn't find anything else anywhere with Google. There's a similar thread in the 7.0 Plus Accessories forum. I can confirm that I'm having the same issue, only with the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus. Same exact issue. I'm using both the iControlPad and a keyboard, and the issue manifests itself with both devices, so it's got to be the tablet.
I also noticed that, if a key is held down for too long (I think 3+ seconds), the corresponding action or letter will repeat for a second or two (very noticeable when playing platformer games). If that same key is held down for a shorter period (say, only 1, maybe 2 seconds), then the action or letter will cease repeating immediately after I let go of the key.
Submitted a request to Samsung to fix this, and you may want to do the same (not sure if it will help, but doesn't hurt to try).
Mobile gaming was one of the reasons I got this tablet, and games are nearly unplayable with this delay that is introduced. I'm using the same bluetooth devices with the Motorola Razr Maxx, and these delay issues are not present at all (in fact, the response with using a controller is near perfect). Hate to say it, but I will be forced to look to other tablets if this doesn't get resolved with the ICS update (and I won't get my hopes up).
I can confirm that with the vanilla ICS bluetooth implementation in the Galaxy Nexus, this problem isn't present. I actually sold my Tab 7.7 because of this problem, among other various small bugs, like programs randomly disappearing (of course it's rooted, and I can't say if this happens when not rooted).
Hopefully when ICS is released, if it does have the problem, there will be an AOKP or Cyanogenmod port which will resolve it. Sadly, I don't want to wait for that. Perhaps anyone with an SGS 2 can confirm if this problem is present in Gingerbread and in ICS, or only in gingerbread. Someone with a note could do the same.
Posted this in the 7.0 Plus thread as well. Called Samsung's support line after reporting this by email. I would normally think that this would lead nowhere, but their support line seems to lead to knowledgeable people who at least understood what I was saying (and this seems to be a very specific issue). The number is 1-800-726-7864.
I reported the issue, and I also mentioned the 7.7 tab and the Note. Not sure if that will lead anywhere, but it doesn't hurt for more people to report this.
Also asked about ICS... crickets of course
So my hope to c0nnect keyboard n mouse. Hdmi output and charging at the same time is gone.
