Default Bluetooth stack support wiimotes?
There was some speculation after the initial announcement that the evo 3d's bluetooth stack would support bluetooth hid and hence wiimotes. I looked at htc's site and don't see hid support mentioned. This is very important to me especially in the light that we may not be able to put cm7, which has a fully functional bluetooth stack, on the evo 3d.

Is there any way to tell from any of the system dumps if the evo 3d supports hid?

Anyone comment? I had originally seen something showing it did have it, on HTC's own site, but it has since been taken down.

It's a dealbreaker for me.

Who knows if this site has their facts straight, but it's shown here with BT HID. http://www.phonerated.com/cell-phone...one=htc+evo+3d

I wonder what the problem is!?
Is this fixable by going AOSP route?
Or Honeycomb?
Or do we have to wait for icecream sandwich... it's just sad what a downgrade in usability features e3d is from the evo og.

The og evo didn't support wiimotes out of the box either. Wiimotes would work on cm6/7 and possibly other aosp roms as well. Htc is still using a crippled bluetooth stack on the evo 3d. Once cm7 is released for the 3d I'm sure it will support wiimotes though.

HTC BlueZ bluetooth stack won't even work with cars that have BT 2.x, ie, all cars older than 2010.
