Does anyone have any experience with SOTI Pocket Controller and the Kaiser (Tilt)? It looks like a decent application but I wanted to check with other Kaiser owners. Feedback is appreciated. Thank you.
I've used this on both my Wizard and my Kaiser and it works as advertised. It definitely saves me time after a hard reset being able to use my keyboard!
I use it with my tytn II all the time. its so much easier typing out sms messages using the pc keyboard and for general use for entering information onto my phone
great for doing screenshots with the phone as a background or just the screen capture also

I use it as well on my Hermes and my Kasier. Hard to beat for remote control from my desktop for sms and screenshots.
Ryan in support has been great the few times I have needed support.

Purchased and...
I purchased the software and it is really nice. I was hoping the File Explorer would allow me to see everything but it appears that I am not able to see all files; even with show system files checked. Does anyone know of a workaround?
Thanks for the feedback. It is defiantly worth it.
MyMobiler is free and I think it does the same stuff:

I use it with my Tilt and it works perfectly. Couldn't ask for more.

its not quite the same. with pocket controller you also get full use of your d-pad and buttons and you can configure hotkeys
Use it, love it. If you look hard enough you can get it really cheap.
Great Program. I believe upgrades are free for 1 year, which is a bummer....but still the best program out there for remote control/display.
The new 6.x version even has Explorer, Registry, Task Management and System Info right from your PC Desktop.
I use it on my Tytn and love it. I don't know how I lived without it. I leave it running on my desktop all the time. Just being able to use my mouse to quickly grab a phone number or send a text pretty much makes it worth it to me. Oh and being able to install software without having to install half from the desktop and then pickup the handset to tell it where to install it is another great thing. Oh and one last thing, because my phone is plugged into my computer as soon as I sit down, the bonus is that my phone is always charged. I don't have to think to stop and plug my phone into charge as its just a natural extension to plug it into the computer to use it as soon as I sit down. Its just plain wonderful.
Is there a way for me to use a regular PC Bluetooth keyboard for my TyTN II?
I have this keyboard that would really work well with the device.
It would prove to be a really cheap alternative to the keyboard that is made for the PDA's, plus, it would make alot of things alot easier.
I would assume you must make a program that can read the signals made by the keyboard, but is this possible?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Bluetooth is Bluetooth, no? What happens when you try to pair the two devices? That's a sweet idea, by the way.
I think this might interest you as well. There's a way to connect a BT mouse to WM devices. I found it on Handango.com, although, strangely, it doesn't show up if you select the AT&T Tilt as your device (but it does show up with any WM5 device).
BlueMouse
I'm going back to grad school soon, and am loving the prospect of carrying 3 small devices that (almost) do the same thing as one heavy laptop!
EDIT: Just read through this thread, and WM6 actually has native support for BT mice! Except for Microsoft's own BT mice... lol. However, I think BlueMouse supports them.
Have a look at this link for a cheap alternative :
http://www.amazon.com/Stowaway-Ultra-Slim-Bluetooth-Blackberry-Handhelds/dp/B0002OKCXE
Buy it while stocks last, I would have brought one but I live in the UK and shipping will be too expensive along with any other taxes they may want to add unless one of you guys can send me one.
Pairing
I have a Logitech bluetooth keyboard with an integrated touchpad. But when I try to pair them, my device just doesn't find the keyboard.
Although I find it amusing, I believe it is even slower using a bluetooth mouse for my phone, than actually using the touch function
But we are atleast on the right track.
For now, I use pocket controller for using my keyboard. But the downside is that it's slow and you need your device connected to the computer at all times.
Imagine using a regular bluetooth keyboard! What a dream ^^
Have you tried using a regular bluetooth keyboard that doesn't have an integrated touchpad? There could be something about that configuration that WM can't handle.

Assuming your PC BT keyboard supports the HID profile (it probably does), it should work with the Kaiser right out of the box, as the WM6 Bluetooth stack has HID drivers built-in.

Ok. Now my device actually finds the keyboard, but I can't connect it. When I click connect, it asks for a password. I enter nothing, and it continues to where I can select the purpose for the keyboard. When I press finish, my device tells me that the keyboard wants to connect to my phone. Now I need a password to continue, so therfore I enter a random password, like 1111. Then my device waits for a few minutes, and tells me the keyboard has failed connecting.
I have a DiNivo Edge keyboard, if it's any help
Any ideas?
Thx ^^
Maybe...
Maybe I need a specific code, or a way to make the keyoard agree to the connection.
Difficult
Try 0000 -- that's almost always the default password for BT devices.

Thank you, but I've already tried it. The keyboard behaves like a phone, making my phone waiting for the keyboard to input a password. Damn :\

Sorry this may seem stupid, but have you got the user maual for the keyboard? Or tried the manufacturers site if not? They may have a general config for it (PC and WM device association key will be the same).
Otherwise, look around the keyboard (and even in the battery compartment of the keyboard) for a four digit number to try.

No, it doesn't sound stupid Sometimes even the smartest person forgets the simpliest resolutions
But I have already tried that, except for the battery compartment. I have no idea how to open it, cause it's an internal rechargeable battery. But if there is an opening somewhere, I'll take a peek inside for a four digit number
Thanks!
Been looking ...
... everywhere on the net, but still haven't found a way to connect the keyboard :\ Anyone that has the DiNivo Edge keyboard, and could help me with this? It would be more than appreciated
Thank you!

Don't,
I've looked up the Logitech Dinvo Edge and it looks as if it comes with a proprietory BT USB dongle for PC connection and all setup is done through an install CD (for the PC).
Do you have the CD because the 4-digit pin may be on the setup instructions. Failing that, it may be best to go to your first post on this thread and edit the title to be a bit more specific such as ' Logitech Dinvo Edge BT KB, working anyone?'
Give it a go.

Now, two months later, I am still clueless about how to get this working. Anyone having better luck than me?
I think you should enter your own passcode first on your PDA, and quickly typing the passcode on your BT KBD while PDA is waiting..
I could connect with Apple BT, Microsoft BT kbd..
After seeing diNovo mini in action, it's got me so aroused!
This triggers me to think about bringing WM device to be a more interactive media device, especially, something like Logitech's diNovo mini for HTPC.
I'm just wondering if any developer can come up with an app that connects Kaiser to the PC via bluetooth, and turn it into an input device with the qwerty keyboard and touchscreen as a touchpad D best if this can be integrated with Sideshow! LOL). Silly?
p.s. Hey! I know I'm just daydreaming~but if anyone has the same ideas, interests, and ability to make this happen, summon your strengths!

Actually, I've been looking for a way to do this myself The closest I've got, is using remote desktop connected to the computer through WiFi. It's fun, but unpractial and not quite the solution i was looking for.
So, this possible?
I use "Signal" a program for controlling iTunes via Wifi which works well as i use itunes to stream music to different parts of the house. Its also skinable too!
In the past with my Blue Angel not only did i use that but also used Novii Remote for Stereo, TV, Sky, DVD etc and also as a remote for lights in my house.
Almost like House hold universal remote!
I have found a program called salling clicker that will control almost any media program. It also does mouse control and can send the keyboard input to the computer.
The problem is the mouse control and keyboard input are separate parts of the program so for example if I want to type in the address bar I have to go into mouse mode, move the cursor up to the bar and tap, then go into the message mode and type the address, then back to mouse mode. If it were all tied in together it would be the ultimate program for that. They may make an improvement on it too I haven't checked lately.
BTW, this is a much better deal than just the Denovo Mini because with the phone you have the screen to look at when browsing for files etc.
I found a script somebody did for salling clicker that puts keyboard and mouse together. It's written for the TyTN but works on my TyTNII. I'm also going to look into tweaking it this weekend! Looks like I need to return my Dinovo Mini.

P.S. I am aware of the fact, that I do overact a bit on it, but You gotta try this to believe. screen is a touchpad, while slide- out keys are mapped as a proper keyboard. a must have imho.

First you have to get the program called 'Salling Clicker' - it installs on your computer that you want to control.
When you have it installed and your PDA setup to connect using wifi or bt you just have to add the custom script onto your computer in the My Documents/My Clicker Scripts folder.
Then add the script using the programs menu on the computer and connect using your phone.
Ive seen some apps for iphone and the nokia n900 that turn them into a ps3 controller using bluetooth and the g-sensor and i was hoping this was possible on my fuze. it would make typing much easyer and i wouldnt haft to constantly re-charge my controller instead just bust out my phone
Agree
I would also love this app, i just want it for the typing. Using as a controller to me would just be something to show off and not really use. i know the anio can do this so its out there, im just not good with this stuff.
I can make a GUI for this. But not sure how to go about making a bluetooth driver for the PS3

im a bit of a noob but couldnt you use a computer with bluetooth to get ther drivers for the controller? i know the drivers are out there because you can get them to use the controller on a computer running on linux
A program called 'MobileRemote' will turn your phone into a bluetooth 'HID' with Keyboard and Mouse support. It works rather well, and WILL work with the PS3. Only hitch is that it won't work when the PS3 is in PS2 mode. No love for FFXI. ^^;
It won't emulate a CONTROLLER, but it's handy for firing off quick PSN messages or poking around in PS Home.
mobile remote
the problem with mobile remote is that it costs me money i dont have
i dont see the use of buying something for a phone im about to change to a tilt2
which that app doesnt support

Ah, well the support issue makes sense. The cost however - (It's on sale on the MS Marketplace for $2 right now) - is peanuts compared to the usefulness of the app.
Ever since the my Incredible days I enjoyed toting a Wii remote on trips for playing NES, Snes and so on. I always envied the EVO for being able to do it with that massive screen. It ony really needed a kickstand and it be the perfect pocket gaming machine. Well ever since I got the ThunderBolt I hoped one day it would be possible. Thanks to Slayer and Cyanogen 7 Mod plus all the other hard working Devs this is now a reality.
Here We Go !
Tools needed
Must be ROOTED !
Wii remote MUST be OEM except the Mini Wii remote. :: Only ones I found to work, no Nyko's:: - Optional, this is not needed to play
Cyanogen 7 Mod :: I run update-cm-7.1.0-RC0.1, why? because CM uses Bluetooth Stack 2.0 unlike stock sense or other roms, Gingerbread Natively does not even run this that I know of.
Find it in this thread :: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049542
Nesoid Lite or Premium, this is LIte link :: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.androidemu.neslite&feature=search_result
Not needed if you don't have Wiimote:: WiiController for bluetooth connection find it here :: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ccpcreations.android.WiiUseAndroid&feature=search_result
ROMS :: FInd it.........Yourself, don't be Lazy or ask me, all of the above items are free. you can afford to find these on your own.
If you don't have a Wiimote you can stop right here and use onscreen controls with Nesoid.
OK onto the fun !
First things first, install everything
1. Turn bluetooth on
2. Go into keyboard settings in menu and enable the Wii IME for the controller
3. Go into a message or email, somewhere you can type, long press and select input method, then select Wii controller.
4. Go to your Wii controller app and select Init and Connect
5. Hit the Sync button on the controller ::located under battery door, red button:: or press buttons 1 and 2 at the same time. all the blue lights on the Wii remote should flash now. The phone should find your Wii remote and set player number 1 light to lit. Press some Wii controller buttons, you should see them register on screen.
6 Ok almost good to go, the settings are remembered from this point on, go into nesoid load a Rom up, hit menu on your phone, go to settings Audio/Video set the Aspect Ratio to 16:9
7.Back out one click and go to Other Settings, Check the check box labeled Use Input Method.
8. Go back another click again, go to Input Settings Uncheck Virtual Keypad check box.
9. Go to keymappings in the same menu tap under Pad 1 your button you want to input then hit the corrisponding button on your Wii remote.
10. Back out till you get to the game you loaded and have fun!
Other Notes ::
When you're done playing you wil have to go into a message and select your keyboard Input method to your Keyboard in order to be able to type again.
This setup can also be used with the Classc retro Wii remote plugged into the Wii controller.
This will also work with Snesoid, Genoid, GBA, N64oid, and PSX Emultators.
PS3 and Xbox 360 controllers CAN'T be used. Why? because I said so.....No in reality, Sony encrypts PS3's bluetooth protocol. So till a Dev releases a new App to decode it you're out of luck. Xbox 360 uses 2.4 GHZ Technology not Bluetooth so nope will not work.
Shout out to Slayer and his Wife along with all the other Devs working on the ThunderBolt. Thank you for all the hard work you do to bring us Cyanogen 7 Mod and making things like this possible.
Credit goes to all the other Devs out there for making apps like WiiController and Nesoid avalible on Android
Only On Android.
Very nice write up. Thank you

I'm pretty sure you can set the Wiimote program to revert back to the default keyboard when you turn off Bluetooth or turn off your Wiimote. I'm probably going to do this at some point this week (or just wait for the "stable" CM7), since this is what I miss most from my OG Droid.
very nice!! I've been wanting to use a wii remote for a while now. thanx for the write up.
Wish I still had my wii now . Possible you have a link on getting a PS3 controller working with CM7? I've been looking all around and just finding all old outdated stuff.

You can't, far as I remember this has been dropped due to the security type Sony uses to encrypt the Bluetooth signal on Ps3 controllers. The protocol only recently was figured out where it can easily be connected on PC. So if even close to possible a dev would still need to develop a app capable of decoding and then recognizing inputs from the Ps3 controller.
before it's asked - Why can't I use a Xbox360 Controller? it does not use Bluetooth, it uses 2.4 GHZ signal.
You're welcome to all those that had success, I know how hard it is to find a detailed guide with setup info. Ths is what i figured out from my own tinkering.
As for Cm7 stable version, Cm7 is very stable, I had alot of issues with the new release but tried the .1 version from Slayer's Twitter and low and behold I had no more bugs and Cm7 runs almost flawless. I say almost cause I have not found any bugs yet but i'm sure there are some.
If Wii controller is able to remember settngs like tha let me know , i'll gladly update the guide.

Yea but the issue was you needed Glove Pie, a compatible bluetooth adapter, the script for Glove Pie. It was more a hassle then anything. Now I heard you can use Xpadder with a one click connect buton.
thanks for the informative write up I am gonna have to try this sounds awesome
Thank you for the write up! I'm running BAMF 2.0.3 at the moment but plan on trying CM7 sometime soon so I'll keep this thread bookmarked!
