    I've tried connecting 2 different bluetooth mice to my Passport, and neither will connect. This used to be no issue. I'm curious if it's just me or a "feature" of the most recent OS update.

    And yes, I've rebooted, etc etc.

    A mouse? And you've had it working with a Passport before? I've used one with my Classic and Bold, but haven't tried with my SE. It would seem that since there isn't a cursor, it wouldn't be very useful at all.

    I can't remember if it was my Q10 or the Passport, but yes, I've connected one in the past, and now neither one will pair with the mouse.

    When the mouse connects, you get a cursor even though there isn't one otherwise.

    Proof of concept...see that mouse cursor next to your name in the screenshot? That's from connecting a mouse using USB OTG.

    Wow...I stand corrected...the mouse cursor doesn't get captured in a screenshot! But it's there, believe me... ;-)

    Try a different BT device. There have been a few builds that didn't play nicely with BT.

    Good advice. Any suggestions? I've tried both of the BT mice I own (a Microsoft Arc and Microsoft designer mouse). If anyone has had luck with a particular device, I'd be interested.

    Try a BT speaker. If that doesn't work then there's only one option and that is to downgrade or upgrade.
    You wont be able to just load a different BT bar. Been there before with a Z30 and just changing BT bar doesn't work.

    All BT devices work except the mouse.

    Actually, just connected my Blackberry mini keyboard and both the mouse and cursor work on my Passport.

    i was quite surprised.
