Hi, I am wondering if it were possible for somebody on here to write an app or pc program that turns my phone into a bluetooth dongle via usb? Because I have a bluetooth headset that I want to use on my pc but I can't use it because I don't have a bluetooth dongle. Now instead of going out and buying a bluetooth dongle, I figured since I have an android phone that it would somehow be possible to use my phone as a bluetooth adapter/dongle that my pc can use? I'm using windows 7 amd 64-bit, and a sprint galaxy nexus. (please move to appropriate forum, idk how i got in the galaxy note ii forum i thought i was in sprint galaxy nexus forum)

never seen such a thing. would be cool. i recommend just going and buying a dongle. they are super super cheap anyway. so very little harm will be done with that money.
I don't know if it can and never seen a project like this, but I think you better off buying the USB-Bluetooth adapter. It's extremely cheap now a day. And you gotta ask yourself, is it very worth it to wait? Even if it exist, it wouldn't be as capable as the real one, and then you have to worry about some other stuff what happen when the phone ring, does the phone have the head set or the PC? Seriously, go buy the adapter unless you want to scratch your own itch.
thanks for the feedback. I got a bluetooth adapter recently but it says my headset has no device drivers to install so it doesn't work for me :/ Idk how to make it work
ah, i had that on win7. doesn't come with a2dp drivers. you need your own (laptops tend to come with the manufacturers own) like blue soleil or some such

Hey man. So, actually making your phone into a bluetooth dongle is a lil' bit nasty due to permission issues. BUT, there is another way. As you are willing to use this "measure" to stream your PC's audio to your bluetooth headset, you can download an audio streaming app from the appstore (such as SoundWire for Android), set up the connection between your PC and your smartphone, and THEN you share your phone's media through the phone's bluetooth service to the headset. Maybe there can be a loss of syncronization for games and videos, but music will be just fine! Hope it helps

Hmm. Well, things like USB WiFi dongles and USB bluetooth dongles do exist, so USB had nothing against wifi or bluetooth. And those dongles work just fine even when connected through a USB hub. And as you say, your device has both WiFi and bluetooth. So, the simplest possible solution would be to have the PC view the phone as a USB hub, and the phones WiFi and bluetooth can be shown as USB dongles connected through this "hub". Infact, with that option, it should be possible to share lots of things between the PC and phone. You could share NFC, or even a fingerprint scanner, if you have them. Internet is obvious, because we already have USB tethering for that. I believe we also have apps that let us use the smart phone camera as a webcam? That too can be covered in this. Heck, even a GPS for the PC. (Or laptop?) Anyway, I am not much for coding and such, so if someone finds a way to implement it, please let me know? (If this becomes an app, then send me a free link, perhaps?)
Hello,
I am struggling to get the iPega Wireless Bluetooth 3.0 controller working on my emulators. I can pair the device through the Nibiru software which comes with it and it will play the games which you can get via google store. However if i try to pair the device via bluetooth without the nibiru software running it sees it but once you click on the device all i get is to enter a pin code, then it goes to incorrect password or pin and then the pairing fails. I have tried this on my galalxy note one and my girlfriends Galaxy Ace 2. There is no where to enter a pin on the phone and obviously not on the joystick side. What am I doing wrong been at it for 3 days now, going mad. Will someone talk me through the procedure step by step, any help appreciated.

I can also only use the ipega with nibiru. Very frustrating to when seeing all the YouTube videos explaining how well it works without it....
I have found this thread that might help. I will let you know of it works for me
1st
Are there any roms being developed specifically for the Tab Pro 12.2? I've been following THEDEVIOUS1's thread and tried his test version for the 12.2, but it's not working and I can't post there yet. I rooted my tablet and modified the platform.xml file to get full access to my external sd card. The only thing left is to get rid of Knox and whatever else Samsung did that's preventing some apps from full functionality.
2nd
In order to use my Wiimotes with a SNES emulator I had to purchase an otg to usb adapter from Samsung and a Bluetooth dongle with a CSR chipset. This does work, but you can only play until the battery runs out. Does an adapter exist that would allow me to use a BT dongle and charge my tablet at the same time. I really love this tablet, but beginning to hate this one port for everything crap. It would be great to be able to play an emulator game with Wiimotes on a big screen. Breakout box maybe?
I'm hoping someone can assist me with troubleshooting this issue. My wife's tablet is a Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 running CyanogenMod 11, that we recently decided to attach a bluetooth keyboard and mouse to. The mouse is a Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Mouse and the keyboard is a Logitech K480. She was able to pair both devices initially, but ever since has had trouble getting both to be paired. It seems as if the last connected bluetooth device is the only one that connects after a power cycle. I've also noticed that the mouse for some reason shows up as a Physical Keyboard (see screenshot for reference).
What I've tried so far:
-Using Bluetooth Auto Connect , which didn't seem to make a difference at all.
I would hate to have to return the keyboard and purchase a physical one, so I'm willing to try a few things to get this working.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm having the same problem on my Tab Pro 8.4 running CM12. When I was on CM11 the most worked great by itself but now it's seen as a mouse WITH physical keyboard. This expensive mouse is now useless and it's been far to long to return it. It was great for Teamviewer sessions but not any more. I've tried paying in the CM12 thread for the Tab Pro but I received no responses.
I'm having the also problems on my Tab Pro 8.4 (LTE) running (inofficial) CM12 or RessurectionRemix 6.0.1_r66.
Running RessurectionRemix 6.0.1_r66 I am able to connect a Bluetooth Keyboard. Pairing my "Logitech MX Anywhere 2" Mouse also works, but there is no Pointer moving and no mouse-button is working. My next step is trying to connect any Mouse via USB-OTG.
Hi, can anyone help me. Before I put the CM 12 on my Note 8 I could connect it to my TV via Screen mirroring easily.
Now I have the possibility in the settings, but it cant find the TV.
As before both are in the same WIFI network.
I can do this with my Sony unrooted device as i could do it before.
Does someone have the right .apk or an Idea how to fix it.
I like to have just the display of the tablet on my TV nothing else.
The Samsung app from the playstore doesnt work.
Thanks Chris
