[Q] Connect to BT keyboard? - HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Bluetooth keyboard I bought for my tablet and I wonder if I can connect it to the HD7 using some modd or something and make it work (its the Sony Tablet's keyboard).
I also wonder if it could work in WP8, because if not I'll sell it..
Thanks

You can try, but...

I have tried too, and as far as I know(miscrosoft specs), the BT in WP7 is just for audio devices...

Try tooth paste and an dentist, that should get rid of your blue-tooth problem.
OOOHHHH! My Mistake. I don't know if Windows Mobile on the Kaiser supports That specific mouse. I was assume if it is not working, that it is not one of the supported devices.

Bluetooth Keyboard?

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!

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:

Confirmed working with Freedom Universal Keyboard, old one I picked up off ebay for my Kaiser. And even better, no playing around with drivers and codes. Paired straight up!

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).

[Q] Bluetooth keyboard

I have connected a Apple bluetooth keyboard to my Tab. That together with a small plastic stand works very fine.
but I am not able to use the local language charachters on the keyboard. Just gives me /;- when I click the Norwegian local chars ØÆÅ.
Anybody knows how this work in Android ? I have selected Norwegian layout on both input (keyboard) and device.
Is it the Bluetooth driver that controls this things ?
i have the same issue with my dinovo mini
Anyone have any idea when the Samsung keyboard will be released??
Yes, I want the Samsung keyboard also, but it doesn't appear to be available in the states yet.

I connected my Apple Magic Mouse to my Tab this evening and i was really impressed by it. I may go out and buy the Apple keyboard to go along with it just for the hell of it...
Has anyone been able to connect a BT keyboard to the Verizon Tab? I can pair my Think Outside keyboard, but it doesn't connect.
I believe the BT profiles for headsets and HID aren't installed. Is there a way to add them?

I have a headset working for music only but no luck with a mouse or keyboard.

Hi did you find any solution with the special charaters issue? I have the same problem with my swedish apple keyboard.

Long click the device in the bluetooth menu and select to use as an hid device. worked great for me.
Got the Keyboard here in the UK and I have to say it's great.
It's also only £39.99 at the moment instead of the £79.99 RRP. Might buy a few more and sell them on if it's a UK only thing at the moment.
The build quality is great as well. Well worth a purchase!

I have a Tab from Verizon, and all I get when long-clicking on the keyboard after pairing, is "Connect" and "Unpair". No "Use as a HID Device". Clicking "Connect" does nothing. :-\
Pathetic, VZW... really pathetic.
Anyone have any pictures or video they can share of bluetooth keyboards in use?

I second that. I have my bt keyboard ready but verizon is not. Sucks.
Go to the Verizon Community Forum and add to the thread I started. They say they know it is an issue and will fix it but nothing has happend for a month. No updates and no schedule. The thread is here - communityDOTvzwDOTcom/t5/Other-Android-Devices/Bluetooth-broken-on-Verizon-Galaxy-Tab/td-p/336065
Replace the DOT with .
I have a Galaxy Tab (T-Mobile). Recently, I got a Freedom Pro bluetooth keyboard and a Micro$oft bluetooth mouse. Both paired up and work good with the tab. I did discover that, when you want to use both, it's best to connect the mouse first, then the keyboard. Some of the "special keys" on the keyboard don't work....most annoying..."Home and End". I plan to email the Freedom Pro folks about this.
The Freedom Pro keyboard is really nice. It comes with a leather (well, at least, it looks like leather) carrying case and is very portable. I was also pleased to find that I was able to use it with my PS3...no more on-screen keyboard! The Micro$oft mouse also comes with a carrying case.
T-Mobile Tabs rock!

[Q] Bluetooth for HTC SHIFT (x9500)

Hi there.
I have a HTC SHIFT (x9500) with
ROM version = 1.0.7 ROMeO_S WWE
RADIO Version = 1.27.35.28
And i have a problem that bluetooth dosn´t work
Its like no bluetooth are installed in the phone
In COMM MANAGER theres only = Phone on/off - Flight mode - Active sync, but i can only choose phone on/off or flight mode.
Can i install a bluetooth (anything) and make it work ? (Just for bluetooth headset, and thats all)
Or is there a ROM with it all you can recommend ?
I only want to change the phone section --- The computersection is running fine with W7
Really hope someone can help me (and maybee give a link to "how to install it")
Thanks
Unfortunately bluetooth, wireless and SD card are not working on the Windows Mobile side of the Shift, only on the Vista side. And there is no publicly known cure for that. Sorry to disappoint you.

Thats ok.... I was just hoping that a bluetooth headset could solve my problem, here --->>>
My problem is that when i use headset (incl mic), no one can here me when i talk into the headset
When i disconnect the headset, the build in mic is working fine
I have tried with 3 headsets and the pin connection are ok, and the headsets working fine with other phones.
The problem is that when i connect a headset or headphones, the build in mic is disconnected.
If i try the headset(s) in the computersection, the mic is working fine.
And if i set the mic to (Listen to this), in the computersections soundoptions, i can here myself in the headset.
Maybe its the ROM to the phone theres no good ?

This is a known problem of the Shift, there is nothing wrong with your headset or your ROM version. Until somebody will find a cure for that (if ever....), you'll have to live with it.

Hi Cujox7500!
Sorry, I only used my Shift as a phone for a couple of times out of curiosity.
To send MMS you should look for the settings your GSM operator is recommending, check on its website. Or maybe it could send the settings automatically via SMS.

Verbatim Bluetooth Keyboard

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.
