HTC EVO 3D won't pair with Zeemote

[GoogleCodeExporter]

BluezIME v1.11
Android 2.3.4
Zeemote JS1

I'm not able to pair Zeemote to my HTC EVO 3D either through BluezIME or using 
the Android Bluetooth settings. Using the native Android, a message says "To 
pair with Zeemote JS1, enter this PIN code on it: 059237" And then another 
message appears: "Cannot establish communication with Zeemote JS1"  Each time I 
attempt to pair, another random 6 digit PIN code is requested. There's no data 
entry field in which to enter the factory set PIN "0000".

After several unsuccessful pairing attempts, I installed the game Speedx 3D 
which specifically lists compatibility with HTC EVO 3D and Zeemote.  When I 
choose the Zeemote option, the Zeemote is automatically paired and connected. 
And it works fine. (I haven't tried any other games yet that have built-in 
Zeemote support.)

Do you know of a solution to allow BluezIME to connect?

Have you tried this approach:

Pairing the Zeemote to your phone
Steps will vary from phone to phone, but will typically be something like 
this...

From the Home screen, select Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Bluetooth 
Settings -> Select the “Turn on Bluetooth” checkbox -> Turn on the Zeemote 
by holding down the "On" or "D" button on Zeemote (light starts flashing blue & 
yellow) -> Scan for Devices -> Wait for Zeemote JS1 to appear in phone -> 
select Zeemote JS1 -> Enter Key “0000” -> phone will say “Paired but not 
connected” -> exit back to home

Kenneth,

Yes, I've tried that, but there's no way to input the PIN. It's not a text 
entry box, but a message requesting that I somehow type the displayed 6 digit 
code into the Zeemote.  In attempt to open a PIN entry box, I've tried 
short-pressing and long-pressing on every message box and menu item in 
Bluetooth Settings, to no avail.  Here's a link to a discussion: 
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1172765.html
Poster "catpunt" indicates he has the same issue, but no resolution is reached. 
I've attached 3 screen images of the Bluetooth Settings screen:
1) after pressing "Scan for Devices", device "Zeemote JS1" is displayed.
2) after pressing "Zeemote JS1", a message is displayed with 6 digit PIN
3) after a few seconds, another message is displayed indicating a problem 
pairing

Each time I press "Zeemote JS1" the same message appears (as in image 2) but 
with a different 6 digit PIN.

Is there somehow a way to send the correct pin "0000" from Bluez IME or another 
app bypassing the built-in OS PIN entry function like Speedx 3D does?  By the 
way, when I run Speedx 3D and select the Zeemote controller option, Bluetooth 
Settings does not show the Zeemote device. But the Zeemote works fine in that 
game.

Kenneth,
I've just found an Android app recently published by Zeemote that successfully 
paired the Zeemote with my HTC EVO 3D. It's called "JS1 Quick Start 
Application" on the Android Market:
http://market.android.com/details?id=com.zeemote.android.js1.quickstart
The app first tried to auto-pair the JS1, and when that failed it asked me to 
choose 1 of 3 manual methods for pairing. The one that worked for me was #3. 
The Bluetooth device status is now "Paired but not connected." So now Bluez-IME 
connects to the Zeemote, and it works perfectly.
Thanks for your reply and for developing a great app.
-Larry

Ok, very nice, I have a Zeemote, and I have never seen the screens that you get 
when trying to pair it.
The JS1 QuickStart app seems to indicate that there are other people than you 
who have trouble pairing :)

If anyone else has the same problem, I will redirect them to the QuickStart app.

I'm having massive issues on my EVO 3d pairing zeemote, I wanted to pair more 
then one device for multiplayer but only way to pair as of yet is js1 quick, 
feel like I'm bashing my head against a wall with htc. Need a way to bypass the 
dual connect but don't think it can be done using js1 quick

Can't you just pair one at a time?
I mean turn off all the controllers, then turn 1 on, pair it, turn it off, and 
repeat with the other controllers?

Hi sorry for mixing issues, have tried this and tried pairing via in built 
Bluetooth settings, the js1 app only connects two remotes as a test and as soon 
as you go away from the js1 app the 2nd device dissconnects, but even while 2nd 
connection is active bluz doesn't try a connection with the 2nd device even 
when the correct drivers and device are set for the 2nd device , do you think 
if I had another brand of remote I.e. a phone joy + zeemote it would solve the 
pairing issue? Thanks again for the great support keep up the hard work

Have finally worked round the issue, phone needed a restart as did the 
zeemotes, tried pairing as you said then swithed off all Bluetooth software etc 
ran js1 ran n64oid then connected in app one at a time using the key config in 
app. I had to configure both devices in the app itself and then it worked :-) 
happy days just for a mhl cable now thanks do u have a donate address
