Can anyone Confirm that the Xoom now support Bluetooth mice? I have read many different responses to this issue.
I am planning to go to Fry's tonight, and will pick up a Bluetooth mouse, if there is support now with the update.
I think i found the answer from Motorola's website. You can delete this thread, Sorry.

Check this one out. Only $5.99 might be what you are looking for. I know I am going to order one. Heck I think the shipping might be more than anything.

Is there ANY way to get a mouse working with the xoom?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
Dont Believe so. I hope they figure it out
I'm sure there will be, froyo has it for goodness sake!!!
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
Have a look thru the kernel config and see if it was built with that option.. I must be losin my memory thru lack of sleep or something.. can't remember the name..
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSE=y
Some other stuff might be needed as well. But as you can tell, that one is the 'biggie'
bluetooth mice worked no problem on galaxy s with froyo - would have thought it'd be easy to get mouse support on a xoom?

So does it actually give you a typical mouse arrow?
Yeah I think so.. You can usually see the mouse cursor when choosing to select text in the browser. But that's on gingerbread... so.. I don't know. I think one of the problems I've had both on my grab and a touchsmart tx2 running ubuntu is that screen rotation makes the mouse position -> screen position a little crazy! Up is left and down is right and so on.

I think thats a feature of touchwiz not Android.

it was on a custom rom too - Darky if I am not mistaken - so not sure if its a feature of touchwiz or that rom.......

Pretty disappointed with 3.1 so far....

Can we have an I/O thread to talk about all the particular things being announced? A major thing the emulator folks will love is the usb host capabilities with the Xbox360 controller.
Cant believe still no bluetooth mouse...
I have tried to update mine over wireless with no luck. Does it have to be connected to the verizon network?

Need some WIFI love.
I have both a kindle fire and an ipad 2. Is there a wireless keyboard i can get that will work with both devices (once fire gets bluetooth).
I'm thinking this....
logitech.com/en-us/1200/8214
or this...
logitech.com/en-us/1222/8232
Does it matter? Will one only work with android and the other only with Ipad or are they universal? because I am 99% sure they are actually the same keyboard. If they are not universal is there a wireless bluetooth keyboard i can get that will work with both. (links would be great)
Thanks!
You get that bluetooth doesn't work for the Fire but are asking for a bluetooth keyboard that works for the Fire?
Huh? I am asking for one that will work for both the fire and the Ipad 2.

I'm setting a reminder. When there is a ROM with Bluetooth support, I will let you know which keyboard will work with the Kfire.
If you purchase a Bluetooth keyboard specifically with the intention of using it with your Kindle Fire, prepare to be disappointed....forever.
The bluetooth will work with future mods. Have faith
I don't think so.

Kinda like the SGS Vibrant can pick up FM radio? Or the Sprint HTC Hero can be used on GSM networks?
(hint: I'm being facetious - neither of those are true)
You'd think that after all these years people would stop looking at just the CPU Spec-sheet before they proclaim so loudly that a device has the ability to do something out of the box. And that just a simple tweak in a custom ROM will add what the manufacturer was too stupid to figure out...

No, they are not deluded in having hope given how much this parallels the Nook Color's example of getting BT enabled in software that was included in the wifi chip (just like the Fire). Saying it's guaranteed to work is definitely not true though, since it could possibly rely on additional power or data pins on that chip that may or may not be connected. Back on the hopeful side, given that the Fire is based on the BB Playbook hardware (which has working Bluetooth) I doubt Quanta went out of their way to modify the system board just to physically disable BT
I use the Apple bluetooth keyboard. Nice size. Can be gotten for less than $40 by buying bulk version. Even cheaper if you get a clone.

How?? It takes more than a software change to make bluetooth work. If bluetooth is possible on the Kindle Fire, I think it would already be working and featured. Is there a dormant bluetooth radio inside the Kindle Fire?

Yes. The Bluetooth radio is dormant inside of the fire. Reasonable possibility that its usable.
A guy in this thread (http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/vs2yt/nexus_7_official_google_response_no_mhl_yes_usb/) got me wondering ...
Does the Nexus 7 have a bluetooth stack that supports emulator gaming via wiimotes and game comtrollers?
I was already a but disappointed about no MHL ability. If it doesn't have a bluetooth stack that supports wiimotes/game controllers for emulators then that's the final straw...

Thanks for moving it to the right place Step666
Guess I asked this question in the wrong section, anyone out there have ideas on this and if the Nexus 7 has the proper bluetooth stack to use wiimotes? (for gaming emulators)
I don't see any reason why not, my Dell Streak 7 had the ability to do it with the app from the market.
Yes, it's not HTC Sense
WAIT! What?
I must be really late here, but are you telling me that Wii-motes are bluetooth supported and can link up to certain android devices?

Sense 4.0 fixed this btw I can natively use my Wiimote on my 4G LTE.
To OP: there's no reason to think otherwise. Other than previous HTC devices, most (if not all) bluetooth stacks have supported it.
If you are playing a rom that is multiplayer can you use 2 ps3 controllers or wii remotes to play multiplayer on the same Nexus?
