External bluetooth keyboard sprint galaxy tab? - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I realize the ec02 update fixed the issue for verizon users, however any fix for sprint version? I am under the impression this is caused by a lack of bluetooth HID drivers. Anyone have bluetooth keyboard working on sprint version with a custom rom?

bluetooth keyboard

Has anyone been able to get a bluetooth keyboard to work with the incredible?
I know their are some issues with spp.
I would love full b/t support as well. Am I correct in assuming that if new .32 kernels built for 2.2 come out, the issue should resolve itself? The chip supports it, and HTC did release the source, or am I missing something? Maybe the OTA remedies the problem.

[Q] Verizon SGT Bluetooth Problems

I picked up a SGT from Verizon and am having trouble with bluetooth. It won't pair with either a Jabra or Motorola brand headset. I can get it to pair with my Apple Bluetooth keyboard, but it won't connect. It just says "Paired", but does not function. I'm using Skype and GV on this and would love to be able to use a bluetooth headset. Is this unique to the Verizon model? Has anyone else had better luck with a T-Mobile model?
Thanks!
Apparently vzw left the bluetooth HID out (unlike tmo). So the vzw tab can pair with keyboards and mice, but cannot connect to them. There are hid drivers in the market, but I haven't tried any yet. I have a bt keyboard on order. I tried a mouse,it paired fine but wouldn't connect. There have been many reports of this.
BT headsets haven't had any issues that I have heard. My moto s9hd paired and connected the first time and has been ready whenever I have needed it.

I have the T-Mo version and I can connect and pair BUT...
Audio from the other person plays through the BT headset and your voice is via the Tab's microphone... I put the Tab in another room and made a call and all the other person could hear was the TV in the other room.. Once I walked back and picked up the Tab they could hear me...
TMO Profiles?
I have a Sprint Tab and it pairs but refuses to connect. I'm wondering if there's some way to extract the TMO drivers from the device, and stick them elsewhere. Also, I don't know a lot about the bluetooth driver architecture. What exactly is it missing? The kernel drivers for it? Or some other thing?
I had the same trouble with my Jawbone and Think Outside stowaway keyboard.
I called Verizon about this and the tech told me they had no profile for headsets or HID. They have stereo headphone support for music.
Very disappointing that they would do extra work to remove functionality, but I'm certain a good rom will become available that fixes this Verizon blunder.

What I'm reading is that Android doesn't actually support BT HID in this release. I'm still wondering if it could be extracted from TMO or some of the European releases and pushed with ADB.
The other thing I'm wondering is about CyanogenMod. They've had an experimental bluetooth HID thing that's been working decently, or so say the posts, for a few months now. I'm wondering if it's a high enough level of abstraction that it could just be put variously on any device, as long as the processor architecture was the same (or is it up in the java level so that doesn't even matter?)
I know nothing, to be honest, but wanted to just advance a few questions. Not sure how many people are actually interested in BT HID, but for me, it's a dealbreaker for whether or not I hand this device back in.
I've had the same problems with my Verizon SGT. Verizon apparently deleted some Bluetooth drivers. Why? I don't know. This is the only problem I have come across with my tab. If anyone knows of a driver that will connect Bluetooth devices to the SGT please reply. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

Solution for Sprint/Verizon HID issues?

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.

[Q] Does the Galaxy Tab WiFi have Bluetooth HID keyboard support?

Anyone know if the stock US Galaxy Tab Wifi-only model has bluetooth keyboard support? Also, have they fixed the lag issue?
up for this question.
i, too, would like to know if the Wifi version suppots BT keyboard and and possibly, mouse?
Galaxy Tab WiFi only
I am sorry to say that it does not support Bluetooth Keyboard or mouse. HID support appears to have been disabled in the Wi-Fi only version. I have tried several different keyboards and a Logitech BT mouse. Although the status shows paired, neither works.
I am highly disappointed and am considering returning it for something else.

that sucks .. it's good that can even return it but in my case i'm stuck with it. Samsung should have changed the labeling in their box and specifications of the product should be laid out properly.
Wow thats very odd I would have assumed they would have kept that in there.
The only solution is to use Keyboard with SPP profile like the Freedom Pro Bluetooth keyboard, there is no HID profile support for the P1010
Funny, I avoided buying the Verizon version (at $100 less) because I read they disabled the bluetooth keyboard support. Guess this one is going back now too. And I really was liking it, and the 7" size of it.
How weird that I found this question. In fact I am using a bluetooth keyboard on my Galaxy Tab (Sch-i800, Verizon). And it is working perfectly. The Bluetooth keyboard I got is a Targus. I got it at Office Max for around $60.
Also, anybody relized how steap their prices are for general electronics? 16Gb Micro SD card costed $100....

[Q] Problem with a bluetooth keyboard

Hi, first of all thank you for the fantastic work of this forum and apologize for my bad English.
Recently, I bought a Galaxy Tab. The wireless model, GT-P1010.
I have a problem with a bluetooth keyboard. The keyboard works perfectly with my HTC HD2 with "Typhoon CM7 ROM" in this forum, but I can not connect to the Galaxy Tab.
Any suggestions? I'm desperate.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
your model doesn't support the bluetooth human interface device (HID) stack. so it won't connect to mice, or keyboards.
see? http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa..._ID=0&AT_ID=373931&PROD_SUB_ID=0&PROD_ID=2098
What boodafli said is correct, unfortunately you won't be able to use HID devices with the Galaxy Tab. However, it does support the Serial Port Profile, which means it should work with a bluetooth keyboard that supports SPP, such as the Freedom Pro. Of course, that does have the downside of you having to buy another keyboard :-\
Thank you very much for your answers.
Really appreciate it all the help you can give me. I followed the steps in this manual:
http://i-miss-erin.blogspot.com/2009/09/connect-bluetooth-keyboard-in-android.html
to add the function of HID, but do not get it to work.
Can anyone support me how to do this?
Thanks!
so i find it has a different way of how to work compared to bluetooth keyboard

i know this is a bit of an old thread but I stumbled on to it while using google. I was having problems pairing bluetooth HID with my p1000.
I wanted to let you know as well as any other googlers that happen upon this thread that to solve the issue I upgraded to ICS CM9 stable.
I was originally using overcome rom 4.1.0 and my understanding is that there was some sort of issue with the overcome kernal and bluetooth hid.
I also learned many carriers disabled bluetooth hid either out of the box or with updates.
So to fix the problem I would suggest upgrading to ICS it has worked beautiful for my needs and fixed the problem I was having.
I have paired a bluetooth keyboard bluetooth mouse and ps3 controller.
