Hi,
I was looking at www.pocketop.com which advertises a wireless keyboard for most PDAs connected with the build-in infrared receiver. Could there be a way to use an ordinary infrared keyboard (I mean for PC) with XDA? Are there any drivers/utilities?
Thx
No, and the Pockettop KB does not work. If you load its drivers, it will crash the device, requiring a hard reset.
Did you have the version for pocket pc?

This is the one I use for my PS3:

And without any aditional software (beside PK 3.0) it works flawlessly on my Ameo, touchpad included!
Battery Life?
I have a media board and also the diNovo edge as well, but prior to playing around with them, I was wondering what type of battery life that you are getting when you are using your BT keyboard? I have noticed that if I am using my BT headset and I get it below 50% I can't charge the device fast enough to keep it working. Have you had similar issues with your keyboard?
Thanks,
Bob
could u use your keyboard as a normal input device??
does it work with work or notepad??
I'm owner of a Hp iPaq 614 with Windows Mobile 6.5..
i've download the ROM from here
Thanx
I used to want a BT or USB keyboard & mouse, but then I found this: http://mymobiler.com/
It does two things. It puts the Athena's screen on your laptop's screen (resizable so its easy to see) and lets you use that keyboard and mouse/touchpad. Or, you can use the Athena's screen as an extension of your laptop's desktop area. I never do that.
I haven't needed the VGA output or BT/USB input since.
ok.. i will have a look to My Mobiler
does it work without this prog?
EDIT:
My Mobiler allow you to control your mobile through your pc
my question was if you can use the keyboard as an Input Device wiz ur Windows Mobile Phone
without using pc or laptops
I didn't say it was necessary for the Mediaboard. I was offering this as an alternative which is free and gives you an external monitor and external keyboard/mouse input for a WM phone.
thx m8....
Is this (as title) possible, I mean there are these foldable silicone keyboards wich are small and easy to take with you, but is there any software which makes it work?
Thanks in advaced

I was able to achieve this with my TyTn II and my diNovo edge. But as far as Iremember the behaviour was quite strange with non standard char (àéô...).
I tried just 5 minutes, just wanted to see if the dinovo edge was able to achieve it.

Ouatch, sorry guys; I didn't paid attention. I connected it through bluetooth and not USB.
As far as I know HTC devices does not have USB host capability so it should be impossible to achieve this through USB.
Athena does
and of cause htc shift
I believe the diamond must have a USB host, if you look at the service manual, there is a option to flash the phone with an external SD Adapter, there is only one logical way i can see this happening,
USB Host
I think we just need to wait to a driver or something to activate the host function in diamond!
USB Host Cable
any conclusions yet? does this mean that the diamond has hardware in it, but does not have the driver? have anyone tried this cable? http://www.nazo-fjt.com/ptcep/w-zero3/es_usb.html
it's in japanese though, but in seconds through babelfish, it is readable in english.
anybody?
Is there a possibility to connect a standard USB keyboard to the Xperia via a some sort of (homemade?) mini-usb to usb adapter and a 3rd party application? What about a USB mouse also?
I don't mind the small screen, but typing emails would be a lot faster with a full size keyboard. And no, I don't want those foldable keyboards like Stowaway etc.
EDIT: Found this app: http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=usbinput but will it work with the Xperia? Does Xperia have a built-in usb host?
-John
I dont think it has USB host but you could try a bluetooth keyboard.... Good luck
I use a bluetooth stowaway and it doesn't work well because the "space" key often times is too...slow. ie if i type at normal speed instead of "bob goes to school" i get "bobg oest os chool"....
Any info on BT Keyoards for Xperia?
I think it is very practical, it may be because I am a Chinese user, I used to take photographs and navigation more
I got one of these http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/keyboards-mice/8193/
A bit gimmicky, it does work but you need a flat surface to use it and typing speeds and error rates are not too good
My old HP BT keybaord did not work with the Xperia, so I got some days ago the Universal Keyboard2. It works as good as any Laptop keyboard. Taking meeting notes, revising docs or longer emails are with this BT Keyboard just esay and fast. It saves me time and the yellow pad is gone...
I believe that a BT Keyboard can help you to solve that
I'd like to use an external bluetooth keyboard with the HD2.
It should:
1) Be compatible with HD2
2) Be compact / foldable
3) Should include "mouse" support (touchpad, trackpoint, ...)
4) If possible it should be able to hold the HD2 (Athena like)
Could anybody recommend one?
Would HD2 transparently work with any BT/HID keyboard including the mouse support (pointer displayed on HD2 screen driven by trackpoint/touchpad from BT keyboard)?
Same here. Just wanted to push this thread. I would be very much interested in having such a device since my laptop is crap and I never gonna buy one again.
HD2 questionmarks
Nobody has an experience connecting bluetooth keyboard and mouse to Windows Mobile device???
And second question: is there a chance that HD2 is physically able to have USB Host and TV Out, but there just aren't drivers and TV cable at the moment?
I have - I used to use BlueInput drivers from Teksoft to connect a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard with my Touch HD.
Unfortunately however the HD2 seems to be using Broadcom bluetooth stack drivers that aren't compatible with BlueInput (Touch Pro2 owners have the same problem), so now I can't use then anymore -_-... at least until they make the BlueInput software compatible with Broadcom drivers or some Chef hacks in the Microsoft Bluetooth stack into a custom rom.
Haven't tried the default Stowaway keyboard drivers that came with the keyboard though, so maybe I can get the keyboard working again, but not the mouse until BlueInput is working.
Also very interested! Love how the Celio Redfly worked with my X1 but with HD2 no luck so far...
yep looking on with much interest
Guys, redfly is working. for both bluetooth connection and usb.
Also, as for kb, i recommand logitech dinovo mini. Its great
conect usb keyboard
I like to connect usb keyboard is this possible....i need help.. the bluetooth keyboard i dont like it because it takes to connect ...is posible for usb.
thank gracias
Dear Folks
I have the iGO bluetooth keyboard that works great - I purchased this about 18 months ago for use with my Nokia E63.
Now I keep it on my desk and is an excellent way of replying to emails and text messages.
I am going to try SWYPE, for when I'm on the move.

I have tried a few blutooth keyboards but you can't seem to use the arrow keys like you would want to..
The arrow keys work fine on my BB keyboard.

It seems we'll have this the easy way. Teksoft has posted a news on their site, about a Broacom compatible Blueinput version.
Not having much luck at locating a bluetooth keyboard and mouse (compact in size) that is proven to work with the HD2. Any help? Thanks.
I know this keyboard works ...
http://www.chinavasion.com/product_info.php/pName/mini-bluetooth-keyboard-for-smartphones/
I use a full size apple bluetooth keyboard personally ...
Have not seen one , but I don't think a mouse will work at all, don't think the phone has mouse cursor support ...
MyMobiler
I use MyMobiler when I am at my computer. It allows me to use my computer to type and my mouse to click on things.

MyMobiler is so cool. While it doesn't replace a blue tooth keyboard and mouse, to be able to control your phone from the PC is mostly there. And it's free
Thanks for the link.
Well, there was one bluetooth mouse (regular small mouse, with scroll wheel and all) that, besides working on a regular PC with standard BT HID profile, came with a software driver for Windows Mobile, and one could use it with any WM device, so I assume it would work with the HD2.
It is the Stowaway BT Mouse, from Think Outside, the same company that made various full-size fold-up BT keyboards (which also work on any WM device).
Unfortunately, Stowaway was bought up by IGo (who mainly makes universal AC adaptors for laptops), and shortly thereafter, they shelved the whole product line. (Pretty dumb to buy up a company, then shelve its products, especially not being a competitor.) (And with the explosion in smartphones, I think that could be a growing niche, especially the keyboards. (Of course, now they would need to expand support for Iphone, Android, Blackberry, etc., as well as WM.)
So, that mouse and its software has been discontinued. However, I would bet that you could still find them on Ebay, Craigslist, etc. Look for Stowaway Bluetooth Mouse.
