Title: Unable to Pair Bluetooth Mouse
Post by: nebodyX7 on February 01, 2013, 04:54:21 PM
I recently purchased a Speedlink bluetooth mouse for my Nexus 7. The Nexus searched and found it the first time and it worked fine.  Unfortunately, I discovered that each time the Bluetooth was turned off, I had to un-pair and re-pair the mouse every time to get it working.  The last time I did it, the Nexus found the mouse and put it in its "Available Device" list.  Pressing the mouse name, to pair it, no longer works.  Nothing happens.  Any ideas on how to fix this problem?  I have tried various routines and sequences without success.  The mouse works fine when connected to another computer.

I have the exact same problem with my Logitech bluetooth keyboard -- and this problem began after the 4.2.1 Jelly Bean update. And I've been unable to use my keyboard ever since.

I believe the bluetooth issue is a known problem.

And I for one would prefer to *not* have to wait for the Key Lime Pie release this spring for the bluetooth problem to be fixed. I was hoping for a 4.2.2 release prior to that.

Cheers,

I stopped using my Bluetooth mouse before 4.2 but there are Bluetooth issues as the previous poster said so I would probably say that's where your problem lies.
