External HD keyboard - HD2 Accessories

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.

Emulation of Logitech diNovo Mini

Hello,
some weeks ago I have this discovered this mini-keyboard, which you can link to the PC via bluetooth and use as a keyboard and mouse:
http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboards/keyboard/devices/3848&cl=us,en
http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=Dj0MF58-ElA
My first impression when I saw it, it was that this device looks similar to my TyTn 2, especially when the PDA has the keyboard open...
So, this is exactly my question. Exists any kind of software for my PDA that allows to link the keyboard of the TyTn to the PC and, for example, use its touch-screen as a mouse?
Thanks
very interesting i would also be very interested in this as well...
That is a pretty good idea. I got a freee BT keyboard from amazon though.
yea there is, but it uses wifi. I can't remember the name of it now, but I think it was posted already. I will look when I get home.

tried and hit wall
Last week I begun developing/experimenting on such an app, to use the kaiser as a bluetooth HID mouse.
I did manage to get windows to recognize and install it as a HID mouse, but could not establish a connection. The problem is that the M$ bluetooth stack does not seem to allow me to attach to the L2CAP layer and implement my custom profile (the HID profile in this case).
If anyone has more information on how to access the L2CAP, please share .
The kaiser would be a wonderful remote mouse/keyboard for my htpc configuration!

Bluetooth Mouse (Stowaway?)

I managed to get the Thinkoutside Stowaway BT keyboard working fine with the HTC HD2 without the use of any special drivers.
However, I am unable to connect my Stowaway BT mouse to the HD2. I tried the latest (2004) drivers for the keyboard which suppose to have the same drivers for the mouse as well.
No luck.
I tried to pair the following BT mouse:
* Logitech BT laptop mouse
* Microsoft BT 5000 mouse
Again - no luck.
Does anyone yet been able to connect the Stowaway BT mouse (or any other BT mouse) with the HD2?
hi,
as stated here some times already, it looks that hd2 only have a driver/dll that supports bt keyboards but not mices. its a step back because my old advantage has no problem accessing mices. so as long as blueinput or other drivers released there will be no luck with this. i personaly wait for 3party drivers too, so i can use my bt keyboard in my mother language, wich is also impossible in the moment.
regards mad
Just install blueinput from:

Should work, tried it on my HD (with ROM 6.5.5 24001)

Isn't the logitec dinovo mini a keyboard and not a mouse? I too would like to find a mouse that works well with my HD2 - I suspect that when (and if) a new BT Stack and Drivers are issued then most products will work but..... when.... Sigh...
Dinovo Mini has a touchpad on the right side of the keyboard - I'd post pics but I'm still a noob. Out of the box bluetooth connectivity with mice and keyboards would have been great, let's hope it gets on the HD2 soon.
I also just tried my Stowaway Kbd and Mouse with My HD2.
The keyboard paired and worked fine without any additional drivers, just with the internal BT HID service.
Not so with the mouse.
Then I installed the Stowaways own Windows Mobile keyboard and mouse drivers. That driver enabled that mouse to work on every other WM touchscreen device I have had.
Doesn't work though. When one starts the Stowaway app to enable and set up the mouse, it does not recognize the BT stack of the HD2 at all.
Does anyone know what BT stack the HD2 has? Widcomm? Microsoft? What version?
Unfortunately, there will not be any new Stowaway drivers coming out. The company that made it, ThinkOutside, was bought up by IGo, who shortly after discontinued all its products.
If someone finds a hack to get it to work, please let us know.
This is an old problem. HD2 uses the Widcomm BT stack, and this doesn't support bluetooth mouse profile.
MS BT stack supports the mouse profile, and as far as I'm aware this cannot/has not been imported to the HD2 by anyone.
Teksoft claimed to have a solution and showed a video of the HD2 running a BT mouse, but the actual product didn't materialise:

Dell Stoaway Keyboard pairing problem
Hi,
I just installed the latest Energy Rom and I am not able to pair it with the Dell Stowayway keyboard. It used to be OK with my previous HTC Polaris. Is this related to the HID Driver?
Basically, once I install the driver which comes with the BT keyboard, the HD2 recognizes the BT keyboard, but the 'enable' button on the HD2 application is not pressable, it is grey.
Any ideas? Could you please shortly explain you did it?
Thanks

Smart foldable keyboard KB600

Hello,
I have smart bluetooth keyboard KB600 (about four years old) and I'm looking for driver for my HD2, any idea?
Thank you.
did you try pairing it directly without a bt driver?
Pairing HD2 and bluetooth keyboard
I am trying to pair the same device: My HD2 finds the keyboard, and is able to connect via SPP slave. But I am not able to type anything? ... anybody? I am using a COM2 port for the connection, and the HD2 is "always visible", I have no clue why it's not responding! ANY help is appreciated
Same problem here............ PLEEase help
HTC HD2 and BK600 COM ONE/OMIZ/FREEDOM bt keyboard issue
Hi,
first, accept apologies, because i repost a message posted in the wrong thread (same problem, but not same phone)
Home \ HTC Diamond: Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV \ Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories \ Bluetooth Keyboard BK600 problem
anyway, they explain that my com one bk600 is the same than omiz and freedom KB600. So, i've tested 2 drivers
1) Installing omiz one, it proposes me several choices (my model is not in it), but i've used to have this installer (older version) work for my old acer n50 and my pharos. I guess i've to choose a model with arm and widcomm bt.
No success, it seems that the software installed, but the application claims it's not a valid ppc applicaiton (strange because it worked one time and fails saying that there is not enough memory when clicking activate)
2) i've tested the freedom universal keyboard (second choice)
The driver installs perfectly; on the htc hd2 side i've paired the devica and grant connexions (the wizard report that the device is connected and the keyboard double green blink -- thats mean it's ok ) , but when i go to program files freedom utility and start it and click on connect, it claim that the device is not paired.
here where i'm. To bad, because having it works onACER n50 and HTC pharos.
Quoting another user, to pay $80 for 3 years lifetime...
Any ideas ???
Best regards,
Ludovic.
got the same problem. (BK600 and HD2)
Any success yet?
got the same problem here. i tried many drivers i found on the internet, none worked for me
next step is: i try to find a universal driver that can select a com-port manually to link with the bluetooth comport. maybe some infrareddriver can do this, because infrared also uses com-ports.
the problem is, the drivers are for microsoft bluetooth stacks and i.e. a hd2 uses broadcom as far as i know.
i hope anyone can find a solution
SPP keyboards do not work for WM builds 6 and over. This problem has existed for years and no one has found a solution.
I suggest you ditch the SPP keyboard and go with one that supports a HID profile.
Hi guys,
I had the BK600 keyboard and found these drivers to work:
It installs the proper program and works only through the programs. Do not bother trying to pair it with WM settings.
This also works on Symbian. I attached the files for you to test.
I am wondering whether there is an Android version that I can use with my HD2?
I was able to get the freedom BK600 keyboard working succesfully with my old windows mobile 6.1 Treo 800w phone. I found your WinCE.zip (30.0 KB) driver worked best with windows mobile 6.1. It places an executable called BTKeybd under the programs menu.
For Android users, please use Key Pro by Mobile Gears. It is the only SPP bluetooth enabled app that I can find. Works perfectly with my Android.

Bluetooth Keyboard / Mouse

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.

[Q] external bluetooth keyboard

Will any external bluetooth keyboard function together with SE x8? Or none?
Or only specific ones? Someone tested or has one in use?
wont work with my Logitech Y-X5A77
I am thinking about buying this one.
http://www.logilink.eu/showproduct/ID0052.htm
http://www.meinpaket.de/de/31837039/highlights.html
- 5 Eur for Cuppon
Dunno if it will work...
If you know a working one, perhaps cheaper one, tell me.
I have the same keyboard (Logilink) and it works perfect with my X8.
I also tried to connect my bluetooth mouse, which really does work, only problem is that there is no mouse pointer and therefore you can't know where you are clicking.
Alternative
I use wifi keyboard (Android Market)
I just connect my phone and laptop to wifi , and use my laptop's keyboard to type in my phone.
it sound interesting here...i'll try
