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..
Hey everyone..
I would really love to connect a full usbkeyboard to my Magic 32A..
But then i connect my logitech G15, nothing happens..
I think it because of the need of a HID driver.. But i am not sure..
Does anyone now where i can get a HID driver for android?
//Reffer
lol. No. Just no
LMAO. FAIL.
If I remember correctly, there's a lot of posts about this on the official SDK mailinglist/forum/whatever. If you google it I'm sure you'll find something.
And shoo to the last two posters!
Hey mockillo. Thx for posting a answer i actually could use to something..
The only post i could find on SDK was this one: http://groups.google.com/group/andr...hl=en&lnk=gst&q=usb+keyboard#7397813348f7a9fa
And they say that android not support BLuetooth HID.. But nothing about normal.. I think i will try to make a topic in there too..
That's not how USB works. If you want a full keyboard you'll have to get a bluetooth keyboard & wait for the bluetooth SDK to be released (maybe rooted users can use bluetooth keyboards already?)
USB host
does anyone know if Magic hardware supports USB host? If so, it would be possible with 2.1
Just check this out: _ttp://jkontherun.com/2010/02/17/how-to-add-a-usb-keyboard-to-an-android-phone/
appearently MAKE magazine did an article about it. I say it just might work. but you may want to talk to some devs to see how to get into usb OTG mode with a mytouch.
anyone tried this?
on my last check no dev is building with USB HOST built into there roms ( things can connect to phone) unlike the normal usb slave (your phone can connect to things ) , plus if you were to use your phone as a host it would need to power the connected device (ie. Keyboard)
some good news ...
Most roms built off of CM source have a bluetooth HID stack... So like me i use a bluetooth keyboard (logitech media board for ps3) and it works great. And drains the battery no more than a bluetooth head set.

same goes to me
haha. A funny guy... lol.....
You should find driver for that keyboard... I think...
Try v.mote this is exactly what you want... just the opposite (the phone become a keyboard..)
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.
Are there any bluetooth controllers currently compatible with the SGS?
I know I can use the Wii controller, but I don't have a Wii, so that idea probably isn't best.
Thanks in advance.
not really an answer to your post, but...presumably either way you'd also have to buy a Bluetooth controller so it's probably just as easy to pick up a Wii one?
I would prefer something a little more portable and cheaper if at all possible
From what i've seen, the Wiimote is not working on the i9000 yet.
Correct me if i'm wrong please. (And seriously, this time i want to be wrong)
If you can get a Wii controller working, shout me - I've been trying since I got my Galaxy with every different firmware/update combination - it's a no go at the moment.
Ryan Frawley replied to an email I sent saying it's down to samsung's bluetooth drivers being modified as compared to the standard Android drivers.
As I was writing this post, I checked my mail to look up Ryan's reply, and found a reply from Samsung to a mail I sent a few days ago (last friday I think). I will post the conversation in it's entirety here, I hope the employees at Samsung do not mind, as I do quote this without permission:
Hello, and thank you for your time.
I have a question regarding connection of HID devices and, in particular, the WiiMote (Nintendo) to the phone, through applications available through Google Market.
Applications (such as 'Wii Controller IME' from Ryan Frawley) using bluetooth to cennect to certain HID devices appear to be unable to connect to the bluetooth drivers (the application fails to connect, and does not appear to be able to get as far as searching for the device).
Are there any plans to update/fix the bluetooth drivers to address this issue in upcoming firmware updates?
Does the upcoming Android 2.2 (FroYo) update address the issue, and should we so wait until the release of the 2.2 update?

Reply:
With regard to youremail, these are questions that need to be
redirected to Android, as we do not make the applications that connect
to the Wii-mote, and also have no information on the Froyo upgrade.
I hope this has been of someassistance to you. If you do have any
further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us quoting your 210-
reference number.

My reply:
hank you for your reply to ref# XXXXXXXXXX.
I will try and contact Android customer service to expand on the query, but I have some more questions I would like to ask to clarify the situation:
- you state that Android is responsible for the applications which connect to the Wii remote. However, the Android version which is installed on the Galaxy will have been researched and developed by Samsung's own technicians.
The applications on the market are capable of connecting to the Wii remotes (and other bluetooth devices) on other Android devices - yet all applications have issues connecting through the bluetooth drivers on the Galaxy. Indeed, I have yet to find even a standard HID device which connects to the Galaxy successfully.
By it's very nature, Android is open sourced - anyone with technical know how should be able to view the internal workings of the operating system and (often in an attempt to fix problems like this) edit the underlying files.
It appears that the bluetooth drivers (along with all hardware drivers on the Galaxy), as supplied by Samsung are not open sourced. Nor do they adhere to the standards which applications on the Android market are able to connect to bluetooth.
This in turn points at problems with the Galaxy, and/or it's bluetooth drivers, which are, of course, designed and supplied by Samsung.
Please, if possible, can this issue be escalated to a technical team - I understand the issues of getting a problem raised within a multinational company; I work for one myself and deal with such issues on a daily basis.
I would greatly appreciate your help in dealiing with this issue, and getting help in raising it to the correct team/department to have the issue resolved, if it is at all possible.
Again, thank you for your time,

As usual, I don't expect much to come from this to be honest - my previous experience with this kind of query tells me that it'll get shoved under the carpet relatively quickly.
We'll probably be waiting until a proper Cyanogen ROM turns up, or someone gets either Ryan Frawley to patch up the application side (though I'd much rather the bluetooth drivers were standardised to begin with).
PS: Anyone tried a zeemote, mini bluetooth keyboard yet? I'm tempted to throw £30 or so on a keyboard/zeemote combo but I would like to know if it's something that will work out of the box or not.
I feel the need to bump this thread, since I'm so in need of this functionality.
Well, I got an update from Samsung. This sounds very promising, I hope they follow through with what they've told me:
Thank you for contacting Samsung Electronics regarding your mobile phone.
Please accept our sincere apologies for the delay in responding to your enquiry.
With regard to your email, this issue has been passed to our development team and has been raised with Head
Office as well. There is a solution in development and will be forthcoming shortly.
Please keep checking the website for updates on this issue.
I hope this has been of some assistance to you.

What about connecting a PS3 official keypad (the one you attach to the PS3 controller) to the SGS? It would be useful to use in games like Quake 2 and 3, that need a physical keyboard to play. Has anyone done this? I have tried and have been unable to get it working.
The SGS can see the keypad, can pair, asks for the password but fails to connect.

That's the problem with most devices - the SGS will see the device and it's MAC address when scanning, but won't connect. Usually "0000" gives a very quick refusal, where anything else (the only way I've found to enter a blank PIN is to enter a digit then delete it) gives a rather long wait with "Connecting" then a message telling you it failed to connect.
Most 3rd party apps don't work either, though I've had success with the GamePro app NZTechFreak used - it's the only app I've found on the SGS up to now that does work with bluetooth. I'm pretty confident KeyPro from the same company would work, but I don't have a compatible keyboard to test.
Up to now, i've tried:
Wii remote/classic controller (original) - SGS sees controller, will not pair
Bluetooth "I-Tom" keyboard (ebay) - Despite coming with android drivers, does not work. Same symptoms as other controllers, third party app does not detect nor connect to controller.
Datel Wii Classic Controller - same as Wii controller
Zeemote - Works with GamePro drivers. Zeemote does not pair directly with SGS, it's all handled through the GamePro IME drivers/settings
I'd like to see if a PS3 controller pairs successfully, but from what you've said I doubt it very much
e: The app in the post above only has support for some very specific keyboards. By all means try it, I tried each one on my itom keyboard but nothing worked.

Hi has anyone found a working Bluetooth gamepad for the TAB?
I know that the Zeemote works (I have one), but its not quite the gaming experience that Im looking for, Im looking for a gamepad for playing genesis/snes/nes etc emultors and for that the one hand zeemote does not really work.
I was on the hunt for something like this too to play emu games. The only thing I could find was the MSI BGP100 which doesn't appear to exist any longer, nor would it work all that well (IMO) with the SGT since it was designed for phones back in the day.
Ive got the msi bgp100 and have the app of the market and donated for full version and it works perfectly with snesoid, nesoid, psxdroid and genoid.
They are hard to find nowadays though lol.

Which app did you install from the market if any to setup and pair the wiimote? I installed wiimotecontroller from the market but when i use the init function it never finds my wiimote. I also tried to pair it with using wireless settings and it finds my wiimote but always asks for a pass or pin? Just in case you were wondering, my bluetooth setting was on.

As with the SGS the Wii remote does not work with the SGT with the original firmware. You can get the Wii Remote working on the SGS with Cyanogen CFW.
Is there a firmware build etc that would support the wiimote?
Is it just that Cyanogen has added a bluetooth profile that the SGS/T devices don't have? Do you know what that would be? It might be something as simple as modifying the bluez config files on the device. If I get a chance I'll mess with it tonight.

I got a wiimote today, tellme what to do. And I will test it.
I'm not sure that this issue is due to anything more then the Tab being hard coded to require a PIN and not being able to skip it...
When I try using WiiController (demo) it stops trying to search immediately, and I don't have Root so the RWiimote fails as well
when I go into Bluetooth settings and search I can see the wii-mote, I can connect to it however it is prompting me for a PIN which the Wii-mote doesn't support. There is no way around this pin code request so my connection fails everytime
If the Bluetooth software is designed to not allow connections without a PIN then I don't see how it can work with any software unless its designed to bypass the PIN requirement?
or I may just be missing something
Sorry to bring this one back to life again, but did anyone get the a wiimote working with the tab successfully?
I'm having the same problem Dredly, it just asks for the pin and you can't continue.
