I ran across this http://www.mytouch3gaccessories.net/bluetooth-keyboard-b0056.html and wondered if any of you have tried it? I know at the bottom theirs a disclaimer that it doesn't work on 32b's but i figured i would ask around see if any of you have figured a way to get it working, or any other smaller bluetooth keyboard for that matter?
Scam
I will buy one and see if I can get it working. But I can't afford it right now. I'm waiting on a check from a guy in Nigeria who sent me an email asking me to help him out of a financial jam. Once I get the check I will buy everything on that website you linked to.
ive actually been looking at this same one for awhile now i and building a little somethingi am calling "mini mac" based from my itouch 2g 8gig and this is the one that ive looked everywhere and this has always been on top of my list... i think next checki will get it i think ive seen it a bit cheaper too.. well if i get it before u then i will update u on it and if u get it frist post it...... ooo and i plan on using this in my itouch computer, my mytouch, and ps3 slim

o i know sorry for the link to the fishy site, i have seen it elsewhere and forgot where so when i googled it that was the first place i found it again at
I can confirm you can easely connect ANY bluetooth keyboard to android (you need root, though.)
Tried it out with an Apple Wireless Keyboard.

Enjoying the Logitech Mediaboard Pro
Ive been using Logitech mediaboard pro
http://www.logitech.com/en-us/keyboards/keyboard/devices/3616
for a couple weeks on my Rogers Magic 32a Running CM6
the board is great, Keyboard and touch pad is fully functional out of the gate.
and the MENU button on the top of the board opens MENU
the only issues i have are:
1. a normal keyboard does not have the BACK button, (i changed the android config file so that ESC acts as BACK)
2. The ON Screen Keyboard still pops up when selecting a text box
Be Sure the ROM you are using has a HID Stack installed for bluetooth
most roms built off of cyanogen's roms have this.
If you are after something small and portable I can recommend a Rii Mini Bluetooth keyboard.
http://www.riiminikeyboards.com/entertainment.html
I use it for HTPC but paired it with an eeeTransformer as a test and got keyboard and mouse functionality instantly.
I have a logitech dinovo mini, the most expensive useless thing I've ever bought. It works with everything BT, but it's just not practical: You're happily texting away and then you have to use the touchscreen for something like changing screens, closing apps, there's always something the bt kb won't do or you just don't remeber which key does what.
I tried using it with my deceased N95, with my computer as a "media remote control" for when I'm watching movies... It's inside a drawer in my bedside table. Beautiful thing, though!
Hi all,
Got a burning question. I'd love to try some new ROMs on my AT&T Nexus One, but I'm afraid that I'll make the phone absolutely unusable and bricked when I do so. I just bought the phone and got it yesterday, so I'm obviously not wanting to waste that money.
So the question is, how likely are you to brick a phone when flashing ROMs, and if it gets bricked (or something else bad), is it possible (and how easy) to restore the phone to a usable state?
Thanks,
T.J.
Its difficult to brick, the only suggestion is to stay away from flashing radios unless you really have to. However, you should absolutely wait at least a month to make sure your hardware is in good condition, otherwise if you find out, after unlocking it, that your 3.5mm Headset jack has died you'll have no recourse. I didn't wait and now I have dust underneath my screen.
Okay, I figured it was only flashing the radio that would really jack things up. Do you have to do that for most ROMs, or do the ROMs that require it let you know in advance?
And right on, waiting makes sense. I'm just horribly impatient!
No ROMs for N1 that I know of require any particular radio. i.e. you can just leave it as the stock radio if you like.
As above though, it's worth waiting a little while to make sure you don't have any hardware defects you want to return the phone for.

Good deal. I'll give this a go for a month or so, make sure nothing's busted then look at flashing some stuff then. Thanks.

Kinda true there, but if you use the Froyo radio on older builds like cm 5.0.7, then the camcorder is broken and the phone will reboot if you try to use it.

I'll end up waiting for the official Froyo release anyways, since I figure they'll drop it before a month or so is up, then I figure there won't be any issues with the Froyo radio.
So what if any issues have you had with your stock nexus1 ? Has rooting helped or hurt?
I love my G1 but it will be time to upgrade soon. Ive just done a wipe and upgrade to cm 5.0.8 DS and like it so far.
Id love to have a rooted N1 but the horror stories with post as recent as today about wifi,trackball & screen issues make me reconsider. So far I don't know of anything else in the same ballpark that will work on Tmobile.
Thanks for any input
G1 rooted with cyanogen 5.0.8 DS
Xda app
I have not seen any issues with wifi, trackball nor screen. I been the owner of my Nexus One for over 2 months already and I can tell you, This was the best investment ever. Now, with custom ROMs you can improve the functionality of the Phone by a lot. 720p video, faster, wifi n, radio fm maybe? etc...
The N1 has very good hardware, it has things that may be officially unlocked in the near future who knows, though they are already unlocked for custom roms.
Also good to have if you plan to be the base for Android, Since Google will use the N1 as their main device, everything will be optimized for you. (That's my bet, we all saw it with Froyo Demos)
It's fine. 99% of the people wit thing are happy with it, the 1% with problems are understandably vocal. I have two N1's on my account mine (which is rooted) and my girlfriends (which isn't rooted, but has been running the Froyo test ROM for a while). Both work great.
I loved my G1. Probably the phone I loved most when I had it.
The N1 is a better phone in almost every single way ((I was able to change alot of the hardware kb/tb/covers etc on G1)) which is why i loved it.
Nexus One is a leap ahead of every phone prior to April its not even funny. Dont hesitate the N1 >> > and >> over any other phone on Tmobile right now. I love the Mytouch slide but the power ability of N1 are a much better choice.
IMO N1 still has best overall feature set in HW/SW available on the market. Even though that lead has slimmed its still the best you can get right now.
The only problem I have ever heard with the N1 is dust under the screen. But that seems few and far between.
I have had my N1 for about 2 months not and zero issues. I came from an iPhone 3gs (unlocked and jailbroken) and I'll never look back. The N1 is the best phone I have owned. Nothing comes close to it.
they arent problems, just people complaining vocally. the wifi works great, the screen works great, and i've never heard of any trackball issues. go for it you wont regret it.

My exact situation, and thoughts. I actually have my 3GS in the cabinet here at my desk because I thought I might want to switch back and forth, but I haven't touched my 3GS since the N1 showed up in the mail.
That's exact what I'd like in an N1 and get a 8" or less touchpad running android later lol
Now I need to decide on a renewal or pay full price
Sent from my HTC Dream using XDA App
Ok so after checking the Google page I qualify for an upgrade and with overnight shipping ( which oddly is the same as ground shipping) for $313.38
Does T-mobile charge anything else?
My current plan is the MyFaves 1000 and I guess will be the Even more individual 500 plan. which wont be so bad now that everyone texts rather than calls, and there is wifi calling
issues
The N1 has issues with the voice cutting out frequently (at least, mine does, on Rogers/Fido). Look on the Google support forum to see lots of people complaining about this issue. Maybe T-Mobile units are unaffected?
Haven't had any voice issues at all on Fido in Canada.

Why? If you don't like it, return it. If you like it and you have a problem with it, HTC will fix or replace it under warranty.
Honestly, the "reports" on this or that regarding Nexus One deficiencies were broadcasted much louder than any other phone because of the hype surrounding the device. In reality, they are the same few and far between issues you'd find with any other phone on the market.
From someone who used to swap phones as frequently as once every month, I have been using the Nexus One since launch day, had problems with the first AT&T version I bought, and had HTC replace it. Not a problem since.
Where do these reputations come from? the dust issue is the only real one ive seen and htc has fixed the glue problem. its a great phone buy it.

I've never had this issue on Rogers and I've installed practically every ROM available.
Personally, I would wait for a phone that has a better touch surface. I was really looking for a multi-touch keyboard but was really disappointed to find out that the phone would never be able to do that. Other than that I love it.

1. Swype. I'll never go back.
2. The possibility is there for an app to have it.
Back to topic, I love my N1. I kept it stock for a few months, but I rooted it about a month ago and somehow, the phone is that much better. It's a staple of what I have the freedom to do now. AGPS + nav is phenomenal and comes with the phone. The camera is great. Video can now be shot at 720p (if rooted), and will soon come to Froyo. The hardware is crazy fast, Javascript 2.1 vs 2.2 vs iPad, 40+MFLOPS performance. And, since this is Google's baby, it will be the first to receive updates like Froyo.
The touch surface isn't as bad as people are making it seem, and if you're really up for gaming you can hook a wii-mote to it. Talking on the phone is fine. I occasionally have a weird call, but my friend with an iPhone drops/no-connects calls way more than me.
It has it's quirks. The antenna is located at the bottom of the phone. The reception isn't the best, and T-Mobile doesn't have the strongest signal. I work in a office building/warehouse, and getting 3G in some parts of the first floor (built on a hill, sometimes underground sometimes not) is difficult. A few N1s have had dust under the screen (fixed from what I've heard). Other than that... The phone is excellent.

I also got the AT&T Phone, but No Issues with voice or anything like that.
The only downside of AT&T phones are.... NO FROYO GOD DAMN IT... well just yet.
pass and wqit
pass on the n1. I own an n1 for a few months now and HATE THE 3G ISSUESthat it has. also miss the physical keyboard... your g1s keyboard is great and I'd toss this nexus for a snapdragon g1 in a heartbeat.
I'd also suggest not renewing your contract so youccan chose any phone.... any carrier.
two cents
That's Funny
Haha, reluctant to go from the G1 to nexus? I guess I kinda understand. I went from my G1 to the Nexus 6 months ago and god damn I haven't thought twice about that decision! Rooting your phone just makes things that much more fun too!
Hi i have a rooted NC running at 1,1.
All is working fine, but i have a problem with movies
All my video is working with stereo 'reverse'
i'm using headphones, and the left sound is at right, and the right sound is at left ...
It s like that on all my videos,
on my computers all is ok with the same headphone.
Do you have the same problem ? is it possible to reverse the stereo sound output on the NC ? using a APP, or maybe in an advanced menu ?
thx
Best regards
Does this problem only appear with the oc'ed kernel?
No idea, i saw this problem yesterday
someone here have the same problem ?
Ayorosknight, eurosa is asking if you're running the stock kernel rooted or if you are running an overclocked kernel. Is your NC running with defaults aside from the root or have you done any other mods to it. That'll help with the troubleshooting.
Oops sorry,
yes i'm using a o/c kernel (kernel-1100mhz-omap3630.zip)
available here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925451
And i'm on Eclair.
thx
now if you could just flash the stock kernel and test your audio that would be helpful

i am running completely stock currently and i have the same issue as well. audio is reversed from what it should be according to the what's happening on screen.
so has anyone else had this issue with the audio channels being reversed? trying to figure out how common it is.
i just finished talking to B&N about getting an exchange, but to say that it's a hassle is an understatement. it started with me going to the store on monday, they told me i had to call the 1-800 number because i bought it online, then one the phone they said i had to go through the whole tech support to try and fix the problem before they would escalate the case to exchange it. i do the whole reset thing and they say if it continues to have issues to call back. well today i finally had time to call back and after 20 minutes of nothing they said that i should go back to the store and tell the customer service person to call their store support line. i flatly told her that if she expected me to put more time into this by driving back out to the store, one in which they had dismissed me already and told me to call the 1-800 line, just to get a properly working device then i would rather her just send me to the returns department so they could issue a rma and i wouldn't even bother with owning this device. sorry, but 4 attempts by the customer to right the problem is too many.
anyway, after talking to the supervisor my new device is on the way. however, if i get another nook color that has the same issue i will just give up on owning one. i'm not going through that nonsense again.
so again, is this a common issue?
Would it really be a deal breaker if the channels are reversed? Why not just switch your earbuds to opposite ears? Otherwise, get a 6-inch 3.5mm extension cord. Cut it, solder back togeher with the channels switched. Ta-Da: poor-man's channel swapper. There are other options...

First off, you do realize that many headsets, earbuds included, are meant to work with the L and R sides placed correctly on the corresponding ear, right? Take a look at your set, if they are anything like the 3 different pair I have then the tiny drivers are angled to deliver sound down the ear canal. Furthermore, with a set of Nike over the ear style sports you don't have a choice as they are made to only fit one way.
Second, why would I go about buying and soldering something to make a new device work like it already supposed to?
Yeah there's optons, which I'll explore if I have to, but don't you think something should work like its supposed to when you buy it?

not trying to take it out on you. i apologize if it came off that way. you stated the obvious solution in switching the earbuds. i merely stated the obvious that they are meant to work a certain way.
also, i'm not rooted.
so i got a replacement nook and it still has the same issue. so frustrating.
I have a Samsung At&T Captivate, rooted and running 2.2 (updated via kies) and during calls people can barely hear me, and sometimes I cut out altogether. I can hear them alright... any suggestions??
mmm try a different modem?
I would first recommend flashing roms to see if it is solved.
If it still doesn't work properly then then it into at&t for a new one

Maybe your microphone didn't work test out by calling *#0*#
Sent from my captivate running firefly!
I can't return it to At&t as I bought it off ebay and am using it on the Canadian Rogers Network. I don't have the original receipt for it so returning it is out of the question.
I tried the *#0*# and it didn't give me an option to test the mic...?
I'm a little unsure about flashing roms as I don't entirely understand the mechanics of it and from what I here if you don't know exactly what you're doing you shouldn't try it. Plus I've got the phone working the way I want it (all the At&t crap is deleted, all the apps I like are installed).
This is not the only problem I've been having with this phone. I've owned it since August 2010 and experienced random shutdowns two months in, as well as crappy battery life. Since Froyo there has also been a lot of lag... I don't know why. I hard reset the phone before I updated and hard reset it after I updated as to make sure I was starting with a clean slate. The sound problem has only been since Froyo, I think.
I started a thread over at Android Forums in the Samsung Captivate Forum... it's about murdering my Captivate =P

Did you get a good price on ebay? If you did I know why, it has the shutdown issue that a lot of early Captivates had. Buying electronics off ebay is dicey at best.
Added: It probably has a modem that doesn't work good on the Rogers network. Suck it up and try flashing a new one to see if it fixes your problem. Modem Sticky
Anyone else have any other ideas about a quick fix for this problem?
