guys do u knw if this keyboard is compatible with advantage x7501 and its gonna be released nxt month
It works as a standard bluetooth keyboard, so yes, it should work.
I've got my eye on one of these too, for use with my PS3. But I've just ordered the Logitech Dinovo Edge at £100, so maybe Logitech have had enough of my hard earned for a while.
thanks man i will surely get one of these
Did anyone get one of these devices yet? It would be awesome to customize one of the lids to allow for the Athena to fit inside of the cover. It would seem to be the ultimate in UMPC's I would think even better than the shift, since it would have the GPS option from the Athena and now with backlit keyboard, built-in dual use pointer solution and battery power for a months worth of usage.
Any feedback would be appreciated, I love my other diNovo Edge and Media Board's, but would like to hear about the new diNovo mini before dropping the cash on yet another portable keyboard that I forget to carry along with me in my travels...

Dinovo Mini
Hello everybody...
I'm also interesting in this keyboard. It looks very nice. I could be a great solution for my X7501; it seems that we could fit our device in the cover.
Do you think the drivers could be install in X7501
Any feedback?
Regards.

my guess is that it will use standard HID drivers and that we will be able to easily utilize it. I checked the specs and it looks like it will be under 20 mm's too large to fit under the cover without a slight bit of modification. With the modification, I believe that we will have a woderful solution / workaround... Hope to test the keyboard next week...

hi all, new member speaking .
i bought the diNovo Mini yesterday and tried to pair with a Glofiish X800 (wm6.1 cooked rom).... it works without any problem !!
(the icon of the paired item in the wm interface is a keyboard, so i think that is working with standard bt-keyboard driver)
the "windows" button is working, the keyboard itself is working, it works even the "clickpad" (used as "arrows" keys)
i'm searching some keys that acts as "OK/Close" button now and as soon as possible i would try with RDP if the "mouse arrow" appears in some way using the trackpad. (it will be wonderful...)
(sorry for my poor english...)
its a good investment
have bought some months back it even has usb bluetooth dongle for instant pairing with pcs without bluetooth..butt athena is already heavy and to couple it with mini would be cool but will make the unit more heavy

Hello ZyRix1st.
Have you tried the track pad?
If it is like a mouse this keyboard will be the right solution for me.
Are the keys more comfortable that the keyboard of the X7501?
Regards.
If the track pad works, can we use it like a mouse outside Microsoft Word application to launch and control other apps or does it only function in Word?
...
track pad
Hi.
Any news about the use of these keyboard?
Can we use the keyboard and the track pad as a mouse pad?
Thansk for your comments.
Regards.
mouse
just lookup "blue mouse" http://http://www.teksoftco.com/ if you want a mouse for athena that works everywhere..
Keysonic 340BT
Hi
Has anyone seen THESE before? I've just bought one and will coment on it when it arrives. It says it is ideal for windows mobile. you can get them on ebay too.

Keysonic 340BT Keyboard
Hi again,
Well its arrived and it paired up OK, and everything seems to work as it should. the laptop type finger board is a joy to use, and the only niggle I have is the finger scroll bit only moves the screen in small moves at a time. It comes in a very smart black bag, and takes 2 aaa batteries. double click does'nt do much, but thats more down to the athena not having a double click function. The keys have a normal keyboard type feel to them with a good feedback to them.
in all it good for the money and is great to surf the net on the wide screen tv while on the sofa downing a beer Its better than having a mouse and large keyboard, unless you are heavy into typing. Any questions, PM me or leave one here.
All the best
Jay
So has anyone managed to test the Logitech keyboard & pad with bluetooth/usb on the Athena? I think i'd prefer logitech to the keysonic option.
Any News?
Hi.
Any news about the dinovo mini??? Someone had tried it?
Responderman.
In these time, How do you feel with your keyboard? Is enough small to be carry out?
I was reading about it and they say it's portable.
Thanks a lot.
I have had a dinivo mini for a while a just realised that it might work with my new htc touch hd and I can say it works very nicely, not perfectly but nicely.
And to answer thoses asking i just installed blue input and now the mouse pad works as well, I havent tried it in opera yet although i did find one slight annoyance in opera when you use the keyboard to input text you have to wait for the text to apear before you press space or it wont register it also the left and right buttons also seem to soom in and out on opera so editing text gets a little annoying as well I will mess around some more and post back if anyone is interested.
***Edit*** actually installing blue input seems to have overridden the dinovo mini as a mouse so it only functions as a mouse now and no keys work. I will continue to test.
***Edit 2*** after installing blue input the keyboard no longer seems to function it pairs just fine but nothing provokes a responce in my device, I will need to test more but from what I can see if you want your dinovo mini to function as a keyboard more than a mouse then dont install blue input, at least not until it is properly supported.
***Edit 3*** after deleting all settings re connecting and reinstalling blueinput everything seems to function as it should i.e. mouse and keyboard of the dinovo both work fine.

Thanks a lot for your information.
It seems that the mini work fine with your HD, and probably will work fine with the Athena. I'm using WM 6.1. just using a driver like blueinput.
Which are your impressions about the keyboard, it is portable? and enough to introduce a lot of text? Is the pad useful as a mouse?
Regards.

Sorry to burst bubble guys but my mate just got one of these. I sat with it for 20 mins trying to tell me self I would want one but they keys are just plain AWEFULL
Really nasty tactile feedback - from logitech!! Unbelievable reallly!
There are no raised buttons so you cant touch type easily and find way back to F and J
Battery and backlight are nice though.
I tried to type the same sentace about 20 times waiting for something to go click and for my brain to accept this as a possible puchase.
It did not come. I wouldnt get any more comfortable with this and its not as good to type with as ameo keyboard (raised F and J)
This is sucking bum
for £60........I could er well do lots but NOT buy this shizzle. I have never before seen a logitech product that I believe sucks. But this - IMO sucks.
Thanks....

Thanks for yours comments. That was we waiting for. The analisys of the keyboard in our device. I almost ordered one, in order to test it. But now I will wait for another keyboard that will work very well in out devices.
Again Thanks a lot .

Hello, iam searching for a bluetooth keyboard for my HD2. Its exhausting to write mails and sms everyday on that beatiful but hard to type touchscreen :/ So i thought about buying a bluetooth keyboard. But after some searching i only found a few small keyboards from 2005 and 2006 I hoped you guys could help me with that. I want a small keyboard, size like a creditcard if possible, should be easy to carry arround
Greetings, Deadwalk
You should have a look at the Logitech diNovo Mini if you want something good. It's expensive but worth it, I got some $25 chinese BT keyboard and it's even worse to type on it than on the HD2 itself.
Remember that until Teksoft release their Blueinput driver for the HD2 and other Broadcom BT stack phones you will be stuck to standard keys, special keys will not work or type different characters than what's written on them.
stowaway bluetooth keyboard works for standard buttons. If you install the driver and have it run in the background while depending on the HD2's broadcomm BT driver to do the pairing, you gain the the ability to use home/end/pgup/pgdn, but not much else.
You can, however, use AE Button Plus to manually map your functional buttons
I have poked around and I know that the Bluetooth range seems extremely limited (perhaps 1ft) once BT is enabled in CyanogenMod. Has a root-cause for this short range been determined? For example, I'd happily solder a wire onto the motherboard if that's a known solution for the poor range.
I seem to recall that Bluetooth can vary the transmitter's power output, to preserver battery life. Perhaps the driver has a setting to "max" the transmission strength.
PS: I have to say, I'd never have kept my NookColor (that is, back to Best Buy) without these excellent kernel options. Everyone's work is much appreciated. Thanks!
well my experience has been (with both BT gps and headset) more than 1 feet - in the case of my headset - up to 4 feet before it cuts out. with the gps 2 feet
now the one issue i have is if i disconnect a peripheral, it is difficult to reconnect the peripheral often have to reboot the nook to reconnect with the peripheral

It's not been figured out, but I read in a breakdown thread that the chip was hooked up correctly and it wasn't a hardware problem.
From what I know, it's because the Wifi and bluetooth are on the same chip and share a single antenna. Most of the time, they have two antennas (this is not first hand info, I read this somewhere over on the CM7 forums)
As for bluetooth range, it sure seems its dependent on the item. For example, some keyboards have been REPORTED to work 10+ feet away, while most headsets seem to range in the 2-3 foot range.
Headset question
I have a question about headphones. I can get mine paired but not connected. They show up correct in the listed devices but i cannot get them to work with pandora. Music streams from the speaker. Any hints or suggestions on how to rectify.
Thanks to all on this forum.

I have cyfi, DR-BT21G, Motorola Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard, and Motorola S305 paired.
All but the keyboard are listed as headphones. the cyfi is a wireless sports speaker. The cyfi comes with an attachment that allows it to securely attached to your bike. I got it from woot. The item was originally $150 got on close out from woot for $40.
The keyboard I tried at horizon and have it on order from walmart. I am using a white 3 3/4" plate/photo holder from JoAnn's fabric as my stand. I don't remember the keyboad's range will edit when it comes in.
The cyfi, sony DR-BT21G, and Motorola 305 range is 13" or less with good results found when about 2" or less from the nook color. Thus the only useable devices are the cyfi and keyboard.
Using the cyfi with flash video from cm7 flash 10.2, two interesting things happen. First with bluetooth from the cyfi the flash video plays at full hardware speeds. Second if we have a slower connection the download/buffering indicator occurs more frequently when using the bluetooth cyfi for audio. Turn bluetooth off the flash video loads/buffers normally. Reconnect the bluetooth and it load/buffers again.

That is interesting indeed. Maybe the wifi has something to do with my keyboard being disconnected constantly...
Hello all
I thought i would let you know of my set up i have for my nexus 7, ever since day 1 on nexus ownership the desktop has been un used, it is such a amazing tablet, far better that ipads and other android tabs which ive owned.
if anyone is looking for a do-it-all set up i have to let you know of mine.
I wanted a Bluetooth keyboard so i got the Logitech android Bluetooth keyboard which was great, after a bit of use i thought i would get a Bluetooth mouse as i didn't want USB cables all over, so i got the Microsoft wedge tough, such a weird mouse, but it is fantastic. The problem was lag, when i had both the keyboard and mouse on (both Bluetooth) they keyboard kept lagging, for example if i typed android it would look like andrrrrrrrrrrrrrroid. this was so annoying so i got the wedge Bluetooth keyboard, again a fantastic keyboard and connected them both, the problem was still there so i experimented with some applications and i found one which solved the problem, if anyone is having the same issue then download external keyboard helper, ever since i got this app i have had no problems, i have seen a few threads so i thought this would hopefully help people out.
If you are looking for a keyboard and mouse combo, go out and get the Microsoft wedge touch and keyboard, there expensive yes, but they are so good, and get hold of the app, currently I'm using the demo version and it has solved the problem, but if anyone has tried the full can you let me know how good it is and whether it is worth forking out the few quid
For audio i sue the Logitech Bluetooth audio hub, so i can use my half decent creative t40's wirelessly both on my nexus 7 my one x and with my desktop, even with the 3 Bluetooth devices connected to my nexus 7 i still have not encountered any other issue with bandwidth or lagging anymore.
i hope this helps some people out there that were experiencing the same problem that i was if anyone needs any help with the Bluetooth problem on JB then let me know and ill help out to the best of my abilities

How well is the microsoft mobile keyboard optimized for Android?
i got the helper pro, it helped alot but still have the issue of when both bt keyboard and bt mouse are connected the browser freezes, restarts.
i have tried mouse and keyboard individually and are 100% perfect on there on.
i still get aaaaaa but rarely with KHP and both bt Kb/mouse connected.
tried usb keyboard with otg cable and bt mouse all was perfect
incidentally for those wanting to fix this it must be with n7/jb as the bt mouse and bt KB work perfect on my htc one x when used in the same configuration as we have the problem on the n7/jb
Spot on!

You Sir, are a legand. I have purchased the same KB and mouse and was very frustarted with the lag., I still have some lag with the mouse, but this is now a very useable setup, loving it!
hi, got my keyboard sorted out but can anyone recommend a cheap blue tooth gps and mouse for the nook hd. preferable available in th uk.
thanks/
I'm curious because I'm looking for keyboard and mouse. What keyboard was your choice and why?
I've been using my Motorola Bluetooth keyboard. A couple of the shortcut keys don't work but other then that it works quite well. As to why, because I already owned it.
I haven't tried a Bluetooth mouse yet. Might have to look for one.
I have an old GPS puck as well that is working nicely. You will need a program for the Nook to see the GPS puck. I have been using Bluetooth GPS Provider and it works perfectly.
I bought this one , it was reasonably cheap to try as it was more or less the same as the cost of a case at that time

MS Bluetooth Mouse 5000 in-store coupon, Staples, $14.99
Ran across an online coupon for Staples, in-store only and good through June 15, 2013. Purchased the Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse 5000 for $14.99.
http://www.staples.com/coupons
Device paired easily and works. I used 0000 as the PIN which was suggested by the Nook software. BUT the wheel operates backwards from what I'm used to, because I'm old school mouse-wheel-wise. The cursor is tiny.

thanks for this thread and your post...
I have the Microsoft BT keyboard 6000 which pairs perfectly with my Nook HD plus... now looking for a BT mouse... will try the 5000...
rec'd my MS BT mouse 5000... paired perfectly the first time. Other than the cursor being TEENY on the screen... once you know you're looking for a VERY SMALL blue arrow, the cursor is easy to find... the 5000 is an ideal match for the Nook HD +. Got the nook, got the keyboard, got the mouse... I'm ready for travel. Thanks for all the tips!

I've been thinking about getting a bluetooth keyboard and mouse to use with my HD+, but I'm also wondering what the real advantages are. Would it help me with editing in QPython and AIDE?
Thanks,

I use the microsoft bluetooth mouse and logitech android keyboard when I have detailed editing to do (mainly HTML, CSS, javascript with Jota+ editor) and have also used with Kingsoft Office. For me that works out better than one or two-fingering it when I'm coding or editing copy. YMMV.
I personally consider editing in QPython with the onscreen keyboard to be painful, so I've been using Visual Studio on my Win7 box to edit the Python files before porting them over to the Nook. I even got Kivy working with Visual Studio on Win7.
Do you consider using the keyboard and mouse an enjoyable experience?
Somebody in a thread somewhere linked to a "ThinkPad Compact Bluetooth Keyboard With TrackPoint", which looks pretty cool.
Cheers,

I was able to use an app on my Galaxy Nexus phone to have it export it's GPS data over bluetooth.
[search for GPS 2 Bluetooth v.4 - by cajax on Google play - I can't post links yet]
I'm sure it's not as good as a dedicated GPS, but it's free and seemed to work fine in a short test I made today.
With that and foxfii tethering on my phone, google maps on the nook is sweet.
EDIT: I used this to and from work today (30-40 miles) and it performed flawlessly. Wish I could say as much for foxfi tethering - but that's unrelated.
