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

Wrong forum. You are asking about the 2nd gen kindle fire, right? There's its own forum for it, so check it out.
There is a lot of interest about this spread out through all of the threads. Can someone with more knowledge than me on the subject post a "how to" on it? Just an idea to centralize the subject. Thanks

Search the threads, derp.
Searching the threads won't help. This information is scattered all over the place making search pretty much impossible. The ridiculously-obselete forum format doesn't help, either.
I did get mounting to work with the Stickmount app from the market. The multiple partitions on my external drive supposedly mount under /sdcard/usbstorage but they show as empty in any file managers.
Edit: Based on Stickmount's info the reason the drives show up empty is more than likely because I'm using an adapter instead of a cable. I'll update when my cable comes in the mail.
all I know is I can't wait for Bluetooth otg, my emulators with a bluetooth wiimote will make me a happy man lol

otg
hi all iv'e posted a bit about my knowledge of otg in different threads and thought id post what i know/figured out so far in this thread.
please correct me if you know any different.
the only difference between a usb cable & a otg cable/adapter is that the otg has pin 5 joined to pin 4 (this lets your kindle activate otg host mode). unfortunately most cables only have 4 cables attached (even if pin 5 is present in the connector) .
you can find an app called electrodroid in the market to see usb pin-out.
usb controller seems to be a good app to see which devices connect ok.
stick mount works well for me to mount usb drive.
tip's
download stickmount app, open and allow permission
turn off kindle & plug in otg cable connected to a powered hub (mine has a switch on the side, "bus or self", i set it on self) insert flash drive into hub.
then power on kindle when loaded the app stickmount should auto connect your flashdrive (there should be a popup) if not open up stickmount app and hit connect.
then you should see the popup.
open root explorer and goto sdcard you should see usb storage in there (for some reason on my 1st attempt to open root explorer it always shows as empty, just exit the reopen R/E).
?if you unplug otg cable without going into stickmount and disconnecting sometimes you can't remount without a reboot?
a mouse and keyboard should just work but iv'e also found that they also need to be inserted before booting up. my mac keyboard doesn't work at all but my mouse/keyboard combo ie. one dongle which both keyboard and mouse came with works fine
still playing with bluetooth. i can see it in usb controller app but can't switch it on yet, i think this is something hash is aware of and it needs something tweeking in the kernel.
everything seems to need the extra power of a powered hub. i did have my mouse working on its own once or twice but most of the time it needs powered hub.
here's a pic of my setup. hope this helps someone get it working as it's awesome.

I purchased USB otg cable -- ebay item #280820891599.
Installed stickmount and usb controller apps. Hash's Kernel #8. My generic 2gb USB stick is hot-pluggable, mounts at /sdcard/usbStorage/sda.
USB Controller indicates that my generic BT USB plugs (i have two of them) are "Connected USB devices" with the address 0001:0a12. So the system recognizes them, but what to do next?
i think i'm right in saying that hash needs to tweak the bt modules to allow us to activate it, mine shows the same but there is no way to toggle bluetooth yet.

So, I just need this cable:

and a few apps to be able to mount USB?
Offtopic, but in regards to the bluetooth PS3 controller. I was searching but I couldn't find any guides on how to get the pair code for the device. Do you have to do it within Linux or can it be done within Windows?
On topic, I've purchased a bluetooth controller and I can't wait to play my emulators.

USB OTG
Hy,
Same here, unable to mount usb stick using USB OTG Cable without having external hub.
The USB OTG cable is working fine on my Galaxy Note.
I've tried several ROM on the kindle fire with kernel #8 but none of them make USB OTG work.
Anyone here can give a clue please ?
Thanks a lot
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.

Looking for a wireless solution similar to Samsung all share.
I don't know if one but if you hear be sure to tell me too.
And unless Samsung changed All Share since I had my epic touch you couldn't wireless mirror. It only would let you do videos, audio, and images wirelessly. Please correct me if I am wrong but I am pretty sure on this.
I think what the poster is referring to is wirelessly mirroring everything like browsing the net and playing games.
To add to this, I saw a Korean video of someone demonstrating the optimus g on a tv while using the phone wirelessly. So it is possible. I don't know what app it was but I don't remember a cord. If I find the video I will post the link.
Edit: Here is the link. I see no wire.

I have a Netgear Miracast/Intel WiDi display adapter connected to my tv. The OG picks up the Netgear as a compatible adapter and seems ready to output to it wirelessly but when I tell it to connect, nothing happens. The OG says it is connecting but never actually does. I noticed though that the instructions the phone displays says to either connect the LG Miracast dongle or turn on the Miracast feature on the tv. So potentially a LG Miracast donlge exists that may allow for the use of mirroring the OG or maybe some LG tvs have this feature builtin and it can be used that way.

The Jelly Bean 4.1 update might add full compatibility. I would wait a week for the update and see if it's still giving you trouble, it might be a bug they have to fix.

I upgraded to JB and now when I try to use Miracast with my Netgear PTV3000, it works initially but disconnects after about 2 minutes every time. Also, when streaming HD video over Miracast, its now initially very jerky/choppy (lots of dropped frames), though it eventually smooths out but then as mentioned above, it disconnects. I had no such issues with ICS (everything worked fine) so I think the Miracast streaming/disconnect problems are due to some issue with the stock JB ROM and not my Netgear adapter.
This video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iF_jMoLSYR0 shows someone connecting his PS3 controller to his Note using an OTG cable and playing MC4.
I use SixAxis on my S4 so I can connect to my PS3 controller using bluetooth and that works well but requires root, which, frustratingly, I don't have on my Note so I tried doing what the poster of the video did. Everything worked except for sprinting and this means I cannot even get to the first checkpoint.
I tried two different PS3 controllers with separate USB cables and separate OTG cables and exactly the same thing happened with both so I'm reasonably confident that this isn't a hardware issue (although neither OTG cable is an official Samsung one). Also, both controllers work perfectly on my S4 using SixAxis.
Has anyone else tried doing this and if so, what was your experience? The poster of the video clearly got sprinting working out of the box so I would love to know why this isn't working for me.
Double tap the left stick up. Two times up fast, this is sprint.

Excellent, thank you. It may take me a while to get used to that after years of COD and pressing L3 to sprint but I don't believe there is any way to remap the buttons so I'm sure I'll get used to it.
I have now realised that I don't know how to crouch either. I don't suppose you know how to do that as well do you?
You could go into the file that controls mapping for the past controller and try to edit it. I'd how your results would be thouugh

I would be pleased to find out that there are. I prefer playing wirelessly but I could live with using the OTG cable as long as I could get all the controls working somehow.
Does anyone know if you can use the PS3 controller wireless ? or can it only be used with the USB OTG connection?

I haven't tried it myself but I believe that the answer is yes as I said in the OP. The trouble is that you need root which, due to the stupid Knox fuse, I do not have on my Note.
I also have an S4 and a Xoom. On both of those my PS3 controller works really well.
