Any confirmed working BT keyboards?
My trusty Think Outside BT keyboard that has sync'ed with every phone I've had in the last 4-5 years doesn't work. Gutted.
I need a keyboard for this thing!
Any help links advice appreciated.
Thanks,

That's strange, because my iGo (Think Outside) bluetooth keyboard works fine. Didn't even need to install the Think Outside software or drivers - just put the keyboard in discover mode, phone picked it right up, assigned the HID profile, and voila - works grand!
Well waddya know! Don't have any of the shortcut functionality or command and function options but its working as a basic keyboard. Thanks robertlewisca! Never thought of that!
Quite expensive and big solution, the Logitech DiNoVo Mini.
I've bought it for my computer but it also works on the HD2

How did you pair it...?
Does Logitec diNovo Mini works on HD2? I checked the official website of Logitec and don't see it would work on Windows Mobile. Kindly tell me and confirm if it works on HD2 and teach me how to pair. Thanks!
Apple wireless (bluetooth) keyboard works on HD2

To let you know, just used apple's wireless keyboard and it works perfectly !
I was able to outperform the Cootek Touchpal (software)-keyboard , which usually works pretty fast if you know how it works!
hope this helps! perhaps you could try it yourself in the apple stores XD
WORKING EXTERNAL KEYBOARDS ON HD2:
+ Apple Wireless Keyboard
+ Logitech DiNoVo Mini (confirmed by Zero Masamune )
Apple
Apple wireless BT keyboards (newer types) do not work! It pairs OK, everything looks OK, connected and all but - no typing. Unfortunately. I do have a Stowaway foldable, works perfect, although shortcuts do not function (none). Fortunately all others keys do, as with my last HD keys were mixed up sometimes (UK/US/NL problems)
So which BT keybard would you recommend for HD2?
And does the embeded touchpad/trackpoint work with HD2 as well?

I also got the Logitech DiNoVo Mini connected with my HD2. However, the mouse pad function not working on HD2. Only can use the mouse pad for up, down, left and right movement.
Are there any others? Im thinking of getting a BT keyboard
My ThinkOutside BT folding slimline works a charm... Some of the keys take a while to 'warm up' before they'll work 100% but I've been using this thing since I got my Tungsten T3 so it's kinda understandable.
Anyone get bluethooth mouse connected on HD2? Or I need to install third party software before HD2 can connected with bluetooth mouse?
hi,
looks like the hd2 dosent like bt mice, my advantage do work well with 2 of them, the hd2 wont. keyboards i tested til now are the freedom universal 2 and the think outside stowaway. both working well for basic keys, but support only english 'qwerty' keyboard layout and no spezial language chars like german 'ÄÖÜß'.

By that do you mean. "p, backspace, enter, delete" don't work for a while??
I noticed this on my Stowaway and I thought it was faulty hardware and I was gutted. First time I paired with 1.43 it worked like a charm for about a week, then those keys stopped working.. it may have had something to do with flashing to 1.48, but after some repeated hammering and opening and closing of the keyboard they start working, sluggishly and then they are okay.
I thought it was a problem with my (admittedly ancient) Think Outside Stowaway BT keyboard.
Nice to know its not that!!
I read on another thread that a company were working on drivers to make full use of the winmo shortcut keys again..
Here are the links to that topic:

X7500 Advantage has MS BT Stack, HD2 (like TP2) has Widcomm BT stack that don't recognize BT mouse as BT "Profile".....so.....
we hope for a developer's release of a MicroSoft Bluetooth Stack for our device.

Same problem!!! Blueinput from teksoftco need MS Bluetooth Stack......we have widcomm...bleah!
why is it not made a keyboard that you can attach to your mobile phone through the usb port? it would have been fine with a keyboard of the same quality as what was on the qtek 9000 or is it allready made?
I'm using a HP iPAQ branded BT foldable keyboard and it works perfectly. I guess it is really a Stowaway Keyboard but I'm not 100% sure.
It folds out to an almost full size keyboard and has a nice retractable stand in the rear of the left half (the rear of the right half is occupied by a compartment for two rechargeable AAA-batteries).
I purchased the following unit from Amazon for $17:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000E336YK
I had few expectations given the price, but have been quite surprised. The thing paired with my Nook immediately right out of the box. The 'Bluetooth GPS' app (free from the Market) recognized and connected to the device on the first try. It did take about 10 minutes to get a GPS lock the first time I turned it on, but now takes less than two minutes each time I fire it up. Works great with Google Maps (tested with cached map tiles while driving) and Locus Pro (purchased from the Market). There is also no real range problem with the Bluetooth connection - I stuck the receiver on my windshield visor and had the Nook sitting in the passenger seat and maintained the Bluetooth connection.
I have only had it for two days, but am amazed at how well it has worked so far.
Just wanted to throw this out in case anyone is interested in uber-cheap GPS. Amazon seems to be out of these units, but you can find them for a comperable price elsewhere.
Cheers.
Any way to put the Nook Color on the windshield? I am interested in using it as a GPS also.
Seems your post has knocked them out of stock most everywhere, and others are raising their prices. I'd rather just get a Holux for a few dollars more with what they are trying to charge for these things now. I'm still going to just wait until I figure out how to make my WM6.1 phone, or my E71 symbian phone send out a bluetooth GPS signal that my Nook can find.

and
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00161YS8M
The combo works great. I bought some velcro patches that you can stick on things, and so i have the GPS mounted to the back of the holder, with the Nook obviously fitting in the front. This keeps the GPS inches away from the nook (while maintaining a clear sky view), preventing any BT range issues. I use it with CoPilot live, and it works perfectly (oh, and the Bluetooth GPS app from the market).
I will try to get a photo tonight for ya'll...

Goodness your right...price jacked up everywhere. Can't find one for less than about $30 shipped anymore. Bummer. I also tested this with Copilot and it works great. I am most impressed with the Bluetooth range...I can put the receiver just about anywhere and still keep the connection to the nook.
Regarding your WM phone...I have an old WM 6.5 Standard (i.e. non-touchscreen) phone and spent a long time trying to get this to work. I could not find any way to make it fly, but there are some free programs out there for older touchscreen WM phones that will allow GPS data output over BT or Wifi. Getting the nook to connect will be the tricky part. Just look around and you will find what you need to give it a go.

I've been giving it a go, believe me! But your post may have given me a clue... If you couldn't make it work either, I think I may know what the problem is. With my particular phone, I'm only able to output the signal over bluetooth through COM1: Everything else is used up. With the E71 symbian phone, I don't know which COM port is being used. I suspect that the bluetooth GPS software I've been trying on the Nook is only looking at a particular COM: port. If I could figure out how to make it look at some others, I suspect it would start receiving data on one of them.

Strange...that is the program I thought would work for you. I tried it on my phone, but it does not work on non-touchscreen devices. It would be just too cool if you could get that working.
GPS2Blue did work on my windows 6.5 device. I remember on the Bluetooth GPS Provider on the nook. I switched to NMEA. Worked.

i would give you one million billion pretend dollars if you would explain how you did that. one million billion.
If you have android phone, you can use it as a free Bluetooth GPS
On the phone:
- ShareGPS (for Android 2.2) or
- BlueNMEA (for CM7)
both are free in the Market
On the Nook:
- Bluetooth GPS (free)
Otherwise, you can use TetherGPS over wifi, costed $3 though.

I don't want an android phone until I can buy one of good quality from overseas that ATT can't recognize. There are plenty of cheap android phones out there in china, but they are all terrible quality. Right now my motorola WM6.1 has better voice quality than 99% of phones and that is most important to me.

Nope. With a BT GPS, all you need is one of mnay free BT GPS apps, and you are good to go. In the Development settings, you do have to turn on "mock locations", but that is a one time deal and 5 seconds. One you fire up the app to connect to the receiver, the system receives location information as if the BT was built in.
Just tried it. Here's what I have:
Nook Color with Phiremod 5.3
- installed Bluetooth GPSProvider
Motorola Dext (Cliq), with adxlmod (I think) - Android 2.1
- installed ShareGPS
Everything paired and I got the Nook to display my location correctly. I'm still at work, so not driving anywhere, but will give it a shot later.
I don't have data on my phone, so I might have to get copilot live to actually be useful.
I wouldn't jump on CoPilot Live just yet. I downloaded it yesterday after hearing about several people running it on their Nooks. Apparently the new version has introduced a problem with tablets without an IMEI number. I emailed tech support and they said that they hope to have a fix by early next week. I'd wait until then to download the app. As soon as I receive the update and can confirm that it's working, I will post it, but right now it won't work unless you still have an older version.
Use GPS2Blue or Flash Android!

I successfully used GPS2Blue on my AT&T Tilt (HTC Kaiser) years ago and connected it to a Nokia 770 and a Motion LE1600 Win tablet. I seem to recall that I had to try different COM ports in Tilt/GPS2Blue until it would work. Unfortunately, I now have Android flashed on the Tilt or I would try it for you.
I flashed Android to the SIM-less Tilt just so that I could use it as a remote GPS with my NC!
Good luck!

Cool thanks for the heads up. I'm in no rush anyway.
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!

Just my 2 cents, but I have a few devices that pair and never connect. I have an iHome Bluetooth keyboard that works perfectly. but a USB game controller that doesn't. I can pair it with my Milestone phone, but it doesn't do anything.
Fact of the matter is, some things work and some things don't.
I know this isn't exactly helpful. There is also a list of "Known functional devices"... but some things on that list don't work for my NC either.

Poor quality control on the manufacture's part. I went through four BT keyboard/cases for my 10 inch tablet before I got one that works.
The NC doesn't have the strongest Bluetooth radio as that was not intended to be used when the device was first released.
I too have had mixed experiences with different devices.

Anyone on here used the iCade 8-Bitty Bluetooth controller with any emulators on the HTC One yet? I was able get one cheap but I know how buggy this stuff can be with different phone manufacturers. I really wish Android supported Bluetooth controllers without having to use an app. I play a lot of emulation on my phone and the on screen touch controls just aren't the same. I have read that some custom phone Rom's have capabilities of supporting devices like Wii-motes and PS3 controllers. But it seems neither work on HTC devices with Stock Roms. I hope it works when it finally arrives! :fingers-crossed:
Actually, the Wiimote does work on the Sense rooms with BluezIME. You have to download the separate file as per the instructions in the app, but works fine. It emulates an HID device so I don't believe the joysticks work on a classic controller, but good enough for SNES games. Hope this helps - maybe I should post a separate thread so people know about this method.
Btw I checked BluezIME and with the hid enabler, it has a setting for iCade. Even better!

Wow I will have to check that out. I did a lot of searching online the other night and downloaded an app for Wiimotes but it wouldn't connect to my controller. It came out with some error saying it had known issues with Sense Roms. I also tried the PS3 one and it also had issues. SNES games is exactly what I wanted a controller for. Thanks!
Newer Wiimotes won't connect. To any Rom You'll have to find an older one. Theres literally no way sense could cause a Bluetooth controller to not work.

Granted I have a limited understanding of this, but it seems to me the blue tooth stack is integrated in to Sense (or Touch with for Samsung phones)
My relatively new Wiimote (the new motion plus) and classic works fine in BluezIME. And the wiimote/sixaxis apps both say they usually don't work with sense roms. BluezIME works because it emulates HID mode, natively supported. Fwiw.

I should reword. Newer Wiimotes won't work. Wiimotes with motion plus do. It has something to do with the Bluetooth key in the wiimotes themselves. They won't even work on pc.
I don't see how a bluetooth lib would be changed to the point it breaks functionality(or at all really) but I suppose sense could be an issue.

I believe the old ones I have are from a launch system, so I can't speak for new ones. But they never worked on my Evo 3D (I don't recall if I tried BluezIME, only the Wiimote app. Once Cyanogenmod was ported, they worked without a hitch. So it seems to be some issue with how HTC implements Bluetooth, beyond that I can't say. Oddly, I believe One X users were able to use them, I'm not sure, but if so that's very unusual that it's back to not working. Oh well. BluezIME works fine for my purposes, usb-otg cable is in the mail and I'm hoping that works, if not no big deal
I have an original launch Wii controller and I was able to get it to connect. It took a couple tries it kept asking for a passkey. But eventually it took. So it does work which is great. But when I plugged in the classic controller it got a little crazy. Setting up the button mapping in SuperGNES didn't go very well. It was almost like a button was auto pressing everytime I selected a button to map. I'm a little too tired to figure it out tonight but will probably dig into it a little more tomorrow.

So bad news - I bought a USB-OTG cable. Keyboard, mouse, thumbdrive, all plug and play. Works fine. But PS3 remote and an old off-brand I had lying around do not. Why do they insist on removing gamepad support? It works fine in stock Android - has since, what, ICS? Guess I'll probably jump to MIUI, supposing we see it. Maybe I'll take a stab at the kernel source and see what I can find. Doubt I'm skilled enough for that sort of thing, though.
My iCade 8Bitty controller finally came in today. It works great with the emulators I use. Didn't have to do anything fancy to get it to work, pretty smooth sailing. Simple set up. Looks like it will work with any app/game that says it supports it. :good:
Too lazy to look for the info at 4AM, but yes, Sense is a major issue that breaks Bluetooth functionality. Something in Sense was causing a conflict in the Bluetooth driver, so HTC disabled certain functions in the driver. As a result, Wiimotes, as well as some other devices, won't work. Apparently HTC finally got around to fixing the issue rather than just sweeping it under the rug. Good for them. And us.
