Got The Logitech diNovo Mini Working With The Diamond

This should probably applies to all Bluetooth HID keyboards as well.
But anyway, I just bought a Logitech DiNovo Mini BT keyboard
http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboards/keyboard/devices/3848&cl=hk,en
I noticed that it was reporting as a typical Bluetooth HID device and thus I did the obivous thing and scanned for new devices with my Diamond. Lo And Behold it was detected! With a nice keyboard icon beside it too!
So I choose to connect to the device and then it asked me for a pass key, so I punched in the typical 0000, and the beach ball appeared.. and I waited... and waited... and waited..
"Error establishing device!" Damn!
I tried again cause I felt that it took too long to tell me that there was an error for it to be NOT WORKING And again I was greeted with an error.
So I scoured the net and I came across a Logitech KB article for their other Bluetooth keyboards, seems like to connect to it on Windows you'd have to TYPE the passcode on the KEYBOARD.
So again.. I got to the connection screen and then I keyed in 0000 in the diamond, pressed NEXT. Beachball came up, then I quickly typed 0000, ENTER on the keyboard.
"DEVICE CONNECTED!"
Woo hoo!!!
Downside is that since the keyboard doesn't have function keys, I can't access the soft menus on the screen.
Another more inconvient downside is that when the BT keyboard is connected. ALL FRONT BUTTONS on the Diamond are deactivated! Must be how the driver works. And since the DiNovo Mini doesn't have an off switch the only way to regain use of the front panel is to toggle the BT connection.
Inconvinient? YES...
Useful? ABSOLUTELY!!

hey marauderz, thanks for the heads up, i got a dinovo mini too (using with ps3) and after reading your post i'm going to try it out with my diamond.

I wonder what's going to happen when you have both ur PS3 and ur Diamond on at the same time? The box doesn't mention multiple connection sources
well just let us know, I haven't gotten home to try it out with my PC yet so I don't know about what happens with multiple sources.

WOOT it works just like you said!
About ps3, i'm not sure - i am using it in pc mode (switch at the back of dinovo) so it wouldn't work anyways if my ps3 was on. Later on i will try my laptop/dinovo and diamond/dinovo.
On the diamond, when i soft reset, i have to delete and remake another bt connection before dinovo would work again - toggling the bt would not make it connect. Bummer but hey this gadget is really cool!
Thanks again

I have also a DiNovo paired sucessfully with my Diamond, but the "bug" with the hardware keys is really a downer. I've searched MSDN and the Net but I didnt find anything to solve this Problem. I hope somone else can do this for me

WOW!

I'm trying to do this w/my dinovo edge keyboard and it's not working? Can you please provide some more details? I'm assuming you keyed in a 4 digit code and pressed ENTER on the keyboard, then typed in the same 4 digits on the phone and pressed NEXT?
Good find, hope I can get it working too!
EDIT: I found specific instructions on how to do this. You have to enter the code in this order=>
It seems that the pairing procedure is as follows for devices that do not generate their own random passcode for use with the Dinovo, although I gathered this from experimentation:
Press Connect button on underside of keyboard
Search for Bluetooth devices with computer/PDA/phone
Select Dinovo from devices found
Enter a passcode on computer/PDA/phone if prompted (you choose the code), submit
Enter the same code on the Dinovo keyboard
It may be necessary to press ENTER on the Dinovo keyboard
Hopefully, the pairing will be successful.

smartphone - windows mobile 6
i would like to use the mini with windows mobile 6 - more specifically the tmobile shadow2. I can connect the device and my mobile recognized the keyboard as a form of input, but the keys on the mini are not working. are there any wm6 updates that i should find? I am on .net compact 3.5

National characters
Does somebody try to use Logitech Dinovo Mini for typing the national characeters? (like ľščťžýáíé etc...)

BT Keyboard pairing (pin?)

It asks for a pin but the instructions that came with my keyboard don't mention a pin. It says the android device should show a pin that I type into the keyboard to get them to pair.
Any ideas?

I am having this problem as well. When I try and connect to a Wiimote or an apple bluetooth keyboard it asks for a pin. Running CM7 on SD.

This is how I got it to work:
Pair the device.
Tablet asks for a pin.
Enter 1234 into tablet.
Enter 1234 into keyboard and hit enter.
Paired HID

Iirc, when pairing the wiimote, do it in the app, not bluetooth menu. I haven't done it in a while so someone correct me if I'm wrong.

A lot of devices come with the PIN set to either 1234, as already mentioned, or 0000. Try both. You might also Google your specific device to see if you can find it.

My device doesn't use a preset code.

Hi I have a similar problem.
This is Android 2.2 and an Adesso Slimtouch Mini Keyboard.
I have paired the keyboard with computers. It works like this in Ubuntu:
Push the Connect button on the underside of the keyboard to make it visible.
In the Gnome Bluetooth widget, "Set up new device", it scans for and finds the keyboard. Click on it, and it prompts with a passphrase to enter on the keyboard. (The passphrase appears to be randomly generated each time.) I do so, and the devices are paired.
On Android, I am only prompted to enter a PIN on the phone. I tried all the usual ones without success: it just times out after 30 sec or so. I scoured the Adesso documentation. There is no mention of a default PIN--it only shows a similar procedure on Windows and Mac, that I used in Linux.
I also tried entering this PIN on the phone, then entering the same PIN on the keyboard. This has an effect: instead of timing out, as soon as I hit Enter on the keypad, the phone reports that pairing has failed.
In fact, the Wikipedia article on Bluetooth seems to indicate that a default PIN is typically used on limited input devices, such as headsets, that don't have an input mechanism.
I also tried downloading a few "bluetooth keyboard" apps. None of them addresses this problem.
What are we missing?

Finally!
I finally got my Dell Axim/Think Outside Stowaway Keyboard to pair with my Nook Color. The trick for me was to put both in discovery mode, type the 0000 pass phrase into the phone and then immediately enter the same thing and hit enter on the keyboard.

Same here although although I use a full eight digit date code. I enter it into Android and then enter it into my keyboard's 10-key number pad and use the number pad's Enter key.
Works like a charm with my Logitech Mx5000.

Xoom/Tab keyboard?

My apologies if this was answered before, but do the Xoom or Galaxy Tab branded bluetooth keyboards work well with the NC? My thinking is that since they're designed to work with android, they'll be much easier to pair and maximize functionality with the NC (dedicated android function keys, adapting to orientation shifts, etc). I have a Microsoft bt keyboard I've tried and it's not convenient for me. Anyone tried either of these two yet?

THIS THREAD would most likely answer your question

Thanks for the referral, and I have checked out that thread a couple of times. Unfortunately, it looks like no one there has tested a xoom or tab keyboard. Anyone able to confirm if that purchase would be worthwhile?

From another post I made:
I still have problems with bluetooth keyboards, runing nightly 126 and 131. I have a Xoom bluetooth with a modified qwerty.kl file to enable most of the android special keys to work. The three annoying issues with Xoom keyboard is that it will stop working while typing long messages, have to hit power button on it to restart; a key will stick kkkkkkkkkk; and not easy to get out of pop-up for accent keys. You do not see these problems? The best feature is that I can leave power adapter plugged in with bluetooth.
When I use my Logitech wireless usb combo keyboard and mouse I only seem to get the pop-up accent box. The negative is even with a y cable it does not seem to charge nook while in host and v-bus mode. The combination arrow and keyboard interface is really slick.
Anybody else notice these flaws with bluetooth and usb keyboards?
Edit: At this point I can not recommend the Xoom keyboard. My Logitech wireless usb combo LX 710 Keyboard and LX 7 Cordless Laser Mouse both work with transmitter plugged into male micro female usb adapter. I prefer the usb combination.
Just found this negative post about Xoom keyboard. Exact same problems that I have.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14150996&postcount=70
Edit 2: Maybe I was too harsh on the Xoom keyboard. I changed the batteries, seems better. When you long press a key is when you get accents. A feature not a flaw. Also after 30 seconds of no typing it sleeps, press key for a second to wake it back up. Another feature.

Bluetooth Mouse with Xoom or other Keyboard
Now that I changed the batteries and researched the long press and battery saver sleep feature for inaction, I have been trying to find a bluetooth mouse that seems to work well with the Xoom keyboard. Any input on this?
If you have a different bluetooth keyboard is there a bluetooth mouse happens to work well with your bluetooth keyboard?

I just tried out my logitech BT laser mouse with my logitech tablet keyboard for ipad with beautiful results. Even had a flash drive connected to my powered hub and could read it at the same time. This host mode option has made my nook a new machine. Now to get the webcam working.....

I was hoping this was true. Over in the usb host thread Moshe posted a picture of his setup. We discussed the mouse being bluetooth but found out that the logitech laser mouse is a wireless usb mouse. Still only one report from TheAmazingDave of quality concurrent use of bluetooth mouse and bluetooth keyboard. I can get them concurrently but when the keyboard kicks into sleep mode it locks up the bluetooth mouse pointer and force a hard reboot.
@ Dal and Verygreen. Do you think since the bluetooth mouse and bluetooth phone work on phone concurrently, that eventually we will be able to make them work on the nook concurrently?
Edit: I have loaded two apps Null Keyboard v2 and BlueInput. Not sure what they changed but I do not have the concurrent problem any more. The BlueInput only finds my Bluetooth mouse but does not connect. It does not find the Bluetooth Keyboard at all. The Null Keyboard v2 is suppose to hide the virtual android keyboard. This response is the first time that I have seen the Keyboard work correctly.
Spoke to soon, Xoom keyboard went to sleep and when I pressed key to wake back up, virtual keyboard showed up also.

Bluetooth mouse interferes with bluetooth keyboard

My bluetooth mouse (speedlink sl6158 pwt) inteferes with my bluetooth keyboard (perixx periboard 804) causing it to start typing like thiSsssssssssss .
Both work flawlessly when connected in isolation to my galaxy note 2 phone. But when connected together, the keyboard begins to have the above issues. The mouse continues operating normally.
I have tried connecting the keyboard first then mouse second and vice versa but the problem persists. Also after the problem appears, the keyboard needs to be reconnected to bring it back to its normal functionality (disconnecting the mouse alone doesn't solve it, I also have to reconnect the keyboard). All devices are fully charged. Any idea how I can get both devices working? I suspect it's the mouse that's the issue? Any suggestions as to an alternative wireless mouse that would work with the abive keyboard? (Bluetooth is preferable).
Thanks.

Apple Wireless Mouse and Keyboard

Hey Guys,
So im sitting in m office at work bored and i decided to see if i could use my Apple Magic Mouse with my Nexus 7 because i was already using the keyboard. After about 3 seconds i realized i could and its easy. For the Keyboard i had to power it on and hold the button for about 30 seconds and then it popped up in my bluetooth list. For the Mouse, i had tried just turning it on and it didnt show at first but i held down on the left click and then it showed up. you may not have to hold down on the left click but if it doesnt work try that. I can use the magic mouse to scroll between screens and webpages and all that.

Can I use a wireless mouse with an wireless keyboard?

Yeah both at the same time, it makes it a very portable computer. I have my work VPN through vpnC widget and my email through the built in app. Citrix through the reciever app, i can work everywhere i go and the magic mouse makes it really easy to scroll through the screens too. I used a Motorolla bluetooth keyboard built for the Atrix and had home key buttons and all that but every now and then it would put to many letters in the pain or have some weird scrolling issues. But the Apple mouse and Keyboard combo seems to work best. Essentially you could do this with a USB dongle and one of those combo bluetooth sets that have a usb reciever too but i think using the onboard bluetooth works better. You can have many device connected at once as well, i have a Bluetooth headset, keyboard, mouse, and sometime an OBD scanner and my (edit)Nexus Galaxy note running Tablet talk connected all at once.
