Greets all,

Hoping someone with one of these beasts can verify if external BT works ok for keyboard/mouse etc. Additionally if GPS dongle (Like Holux 1000) might connect.

I have done a search on postings, and only find where to disable the service, not that it actually works with bluetooth stuff, thanks in advance!

I am running the stock firmware with ICS 4.0.1 and the Lordsbm script.
I have 1 generic bluetooth external usb adapter that has worked on previous tablets.

Currently it gets power, but doesn't appear to be effective/usable by the Aurora.

Same for me, it gets power (blinks) but it doesn't show up anywhere in ICS.

Aww, that is a bummer. Thank you both very much for the check and cross check. I thought this was going to be my next purchase.

I'm working on getting a Targus Bluetooth usb adapter working on my Elf. I imagine the process will be much the same as with the Aurora, so any thing I find out I'll post into this thread also. Right now I'm combing the threads for any information. I've found people that have figured some things out for other tablets with different firmwares. It looks like it might have to involve flashing a firmware with permissions written into the code.

i tried couple of different bluetooth dongles on my aurora (4.03 gadgetfreakz build v0.1 20120224 ) and they all powering up but bluetooth switch in settings dosen't seem to work (stay on 'on' to be precise)

mouse and pendrives are working ok ootb

Would be awesome if we could get (reliable) BT support on these tablets!
I guess no one will be surprised when I say my BT dongle doesnt work on my Basic?

It seems, there is a chinese 4.01 ROM with BT-support:
http://www.ainol-for...-3-4-und-4-0-1/
The problem is: it's 4.01 and chinase, with the chinese apps, without the google apps.

Well thats not much of an issue, imo. Just change the language to english, uninstall the chinese crapware, grab the english apk's, put on sd card, install
Thats what I have to do on my Basic with every update

Maybe somebody can make it a bit easier for us.

I don't need BT anymore. I bought this beauty: http://www.merimobil..._p/meri0439.htm Works like charm with 4.0 and 2.3.4 firmware as well. Tablet connected to the TV, keyboard to the tablet. Now i have a smart tv as well.
I received it in 10 days after ordering from Merimobiles.

Are you connecting that keyboard - direct via USB, or the 2.4GHz (which I guess means Bluetooth) wireless dongle?

How do you find it for typing on? Looks pretty tiny.

2.4 GHz isn't bluetooth, it's an other type of radiotransmission.
It's dongle is connected via OSB OTG. Works on 4.03 v0.4 "androin-kun" and 2.3.4 "TNT" firmware as well. I've tried several bluetooth-dongles, but without success.
I have bought it not for "blindtyping", but for "smart-tv remote-controller"-purposes, some browsing without much typing, and starting/stopping videos.
