I have been all over xda looking for a way to get Bluetooth working on the Kindle Fire so that I can use PDAnet to tether it to my phone. Last I've heard is that the Fire contains the BT chip and it might or might not be wired correctly. Any help would be truly appreciated!

I dont think any roms manage to the bluetooth working. Why dont you need a bluetooth anyway? Kindle has wireless, turn your phone into a wireless hotspot and you will be fine.
Is there a way to do that for free?

I don't get you why do you need to pay for wireless hotspots from your own phone

If you look around you'll find some threads with more recent information (some posted by me if you want to search from my posts). In a nutshell, the early reviewers were probably wrong, the chip in the wireless module is a TI WL1270B though it was incorrectly and repeatedly referenced to as a TI WL1271. The only information I could find says that the WL1270B chip, like the WL1270, is 802.11 b/g/n only.

I'm sorry I was once told it was something that had to be paid for. I never did research on it because I ever counted it as an option...my bad

Check around. Android phones usually need root. Wireless tether for root users works well.

I have mine running Energy™ICS CM9 Kang ROM Themed and OnLive gaming system works great on it. The problem is I need an input device to play about half of my games and OnLive has an amazing bluetooth controller. I have checked all over online and it seems that we need a Kernel that would support BT. Any chance people have a work around to get the OnLive system to activate the controller?
You dont need bluetooth

you just have to get a usb cord and hook it up download pda net app on the device that you want t wifi on and it automatically download to it and you'll get wifi but you have to keep it plugged in to where the charger plugs ino

Wrong forum. You are asking about the 2nd gen kindle fire, right? There's its own forum for it, so check it out.
Hey, I've been using gederom and it's really fantastic.
I've seen, there is an option for Bluetooth.
Can you tell me, what I need for using Bluetooth?

As far as I know the Kindle Fire deosn not have bluetooth. Some claim that it might be possible to enable it since the acutal device has a chip that is not used. However noone has managed or tried to enable bluetooth yet.
Okay. And what is this with the otg cables and things? Is this possible? Using Bluetooth with those otg?

There are a few videos on youtube of people getting bluetooth dongles to work with an OTG cable...
I've read some things as too you can get certain dongles to work with certain roms. And other kinds of mixed information...
There needs to be a thread posted and stickied about a 100% method to get this working. As this question is constantly brought up, and frankly never answered correctly.
I'm not too familiar with the hardware requirements of MHL, but I have an ICS ROM on my KF and would love to use it as a media center once I get my N7. I'm currently running the Energy CM9 ROM. Does anyone know if I will be able to use a micro USB to HDMI adapter for media playback? If not, are there any KF roms that allow this? Thanks.
so i have a kindle fire i bought off a buddy, rooted and rom'd it, have jellybean running now.
so everything is great, but does the kindle fire have bluetooh capabilities at all?
i dont think ive seen it working on any roms...
There are still no ROMs out that have Bluetooth capabilities. From what I heard the Fire has the hardware for it just no way of using it. So maybe someday it will get activated...
I have CM11 flashed. Latest nightly to date.
So OTG doesn't work so no chance of just plugging in a usb keyboard and mouse.
What about BT?
Can it handle 2 devices at the same time?
If not, what about those keyboard+mice BT combos they sell? I've never tried those.
Any ideas guys?
Thanks
