Hi guys,
I've checked via search and it came up with some partial answers. Anyway, can you guys recommend me the bluetooth keyboards that you are currently using (especially those lower priced ones)? I am thinking of pairing it with one, but am not sure what is the recommended keyboards that work with G1 using CM5.0.8T1.
Have anyone try BlueInput for Android? Do we still need that with CM5 (for HID profiles)? What is the method you use to connect to the keyboard?
Thanks in advance.
P.S. The one that I heard would work is Freedom Pro Keyboards. But they cost a bomb (at least for me).

Hi guys,
I have a touch diamond (with Telstra rom) I need to find a way to downgrade my bluetooth drivers on my device. I can hear you all asking is this guy deranged, why would anyone want to do that. Well heres the reason, I have an igo bluetooth keyboard possibly one of the greatest gadgets that has made my life a tone easier when using email. But the drivers that it has dont seem to work with my device as it does not recognise that i have bluetooth at all. This keyboard has worked with my touch dual (20key 850mhz) but not with the diamond. Is there a fix for this.
Thanks
Rather than downgrading your Diamond's bluetooth drivers, have you tried upgrading the bluetooth keyboard drivers instead to the latest available version ?
I have an original Stowaway bluetooth keyboard. I downloaded the WM5 drivers from:
http://corporate.igo.com/support/do... Support/PPC5/En/dr/Think Outside ppc5 En.zip
and the keyboard works perfectly on the Diamond even though it is running WM6.1
Good luck
Thank you that worked great!!!
I was able to dig up my old BT keyboard, when I scan with the Streak it picks it up but when i try to pair and connect it will not accept the pass key. I have tried 2 differet drivers...One was bluekeyboard I think was japanese, and the other was Keypro settings. If any one can help me with drivers that would be awesome. This keyboard is the perfect Accessory withits builtin kickstand and small form factor

I paired mine with a Dell BT keyboard as well as a little thumb-board/ touchpad combo thing I found on eBay with no fiddling (Streak 1.6 from the UK on O2).
I read that the Streak came with bluetooth keyboard drivers....
'Somewhere' I have an old igo bt keyboard that I used on my palm pilot, I've been thinking I might try and get it working on the Dell. Just need to find it...
Hi there, bought one from ebay.
Got it then couldn't get it to work so found another one on ebay who said it did n had video linking it to ps3
Watched that n then thought what an idiot i was...
All u do is...
Turn on blue tooth...
Turn on ur igo
Type in passkey on streak
type in same passkey on igo n HIT ENTER
Then it pairs although cant get shortcut keys to work but works really well as keyboard

BT keyboard
Hi everyone, I got my think outside the box keyboard to work fairly well, I use it to type with the Textpad app. In some games (Angband/Nethack) the arrow L/R keys seem to be backwards... still working that issue but generally it works fine.
Hi, i was thinking that i might actuslly see if i can write an app for the igo keyboard.
Although i have no exeprience in writing apps, jst starting to learn i thougjt it might be a good little project as my first one.
Or maybe not lol..we'll hsve to see how it goes lol

So has anyone actually found a remedy for the HID connection issues with the CDMA Tabs?
I had the Tmo one but signal sucks where i'm at.
I am hesitating on the SGT for Sprint as the new HTC one should be coming soon.
The HID issue is a dealbreaker for me.
There is development going on in this area:

HID or SPP keyboard solution for verizon
If you want a solution for using a keyboard you need to find a keyboard that supports HID and SPP. The verizon bluetooth does support SPP. There is a program that provides drivers on the android market called "keypro". It's free to download and try and you can see which keyboards they support. I am waiting for my keyboard I got the freedom universal standard keyboard, it is older and cheaper than the current freedom universal 2 or freedom pro keyboard that also work with the freedom drivers. I accidentally bought the older model that wasnt really compatible with the VGT but the solution apparently is in this "keypro" android market program. Hope this helps somebody.
And I can verify that the Freedom Pro keyboard does work on a Sprint Galaxy Tab using freedom's driver. I have one and it works reliably.
the last OTA update fixed the HID BT issues for VZW at least, I can verify personally:

I cant even enable the blue tooth on my sprint tab.
Has anyone been able to get the older Apple BT keyboard to work on the nook with CM7? It looks like it pairs up but won't respond at all. I know the newer one is paired by typing a code on the keyboard and the nook but the nook never asks me for a code on the old one. Any advice will be much appreciated!

I have both the newer 2 battery and older 3 battery design. I cannot get the older one to work but can on the newer one. I've not seen anyone report that they have been able to get the old one to work. I'm not sure what the differences are but you are out of luck for now.
FYI: i could connect and pair the old one just fine, it just never responded. Do the same thing with the newer bt keyboard and you are good to go.
this was of course on cm7. (even though there is a bt kernel for froyo now)
Bummer...
Hi everyone,
there is a big confusion around bluetooth compatibility topic, and I would like to solve my problem.
Lots of people in the world are not able to understand when a bluetooth device is compatible with LGP880 or not.
I need a phisical bluetooth mouse and keyboard to use in mhl mode, I already buy a Trust Zanoo BT 2.0 mouse but it partially work, in fact works only inside BLUE DROID APP, outside this app there is no way to see a pointer, crazy!!!!
I'm not sure the problem is only 2.0 or 3.0 BT version.
For keyboards there is no problem, a lot of well working KB are available on the market
Which parameters should we look on a BT device to be sure that a this device will work on our phone sistem?
My 4XHD have JB 4.0.3 original OS.
Many thanks to everyone will contribute tothis topic.
