Permissions

• Bluetooth and Bluetooth Management
  used in mulitplayer games to offer a Bingo service and to discover other players.
• Vibration
  used to let the phone vibrate upon certain events (Bingo! or notifications about other players). This can be turned off !
• Internet Access
  used only to access additional sheets, available on this homepage

Compatibility

• HTC Dream (Android 2.2)
• Samsung Gio (Android 2.2 & Android 2.3.3)
• Nexus One (Android 2.3.1)
• Asus EeePad Transformer (Android 3.1 & 3.2 & 3.2.1)
• Samsung Nexus Prime (Android 4.0.1 & 4.1.1)

Troubleshooting

• I cannot find other devices
  Make sure, there is another player who already created a Bluetooth game. After creating a game, this game is visible for other players to join for only about 5 minutes. Afterwards, the one who created the game must explicitly enable the Bluetooth discovery again.
   
• I cannot connect via Bluetooth to my friends
  On some devices, the bluetooth stack seems to dislike the hardware. In these cases, just let another device (or your own) create a Bingo game and then join again.
   
• My phone slows down (or hangs) upon starting Buzzword Bingo (or enabling bluetooth)
  Again, on some devices, the bluetooth stack seems to dislike the hardware, e.g. my Samsung Gio. In this case, just enable bluetooth before you start Buzzword Bingo and try to disable bluetooth before you quit the game. Sometimes, also a firmware update helps (e.g. an update for the Samsung Gio v. 2.2 to 2.3.3).
