Bluetooth Keyboard
I just saw this in a Mobile Crunch article describing a bluetooth keyboard earlier this week. (Mobile Crunch Article)
The product page states it will be available in 2011...its definitely a good idea, pending it works as good as we all hope it will! (Product Page)

I don't know about usb hid, but bluetooth hid is definitely not supported on an incredible stock rom.. rooted or not.

no usb, but maybe BT
The port on the USB is the wrong end so I am thinking it will not work, but I wonder if BT serial ??? My stereo in the car transfers phone book data and controlls the phone and media player stuff so I bet with the correct drivers it could work.

Found Freedom Pro SPP/HID that should work
http://www.freedominput.com/freedom-accessories/freedom-pro-keyboard
It's a dual mode SPP and HID, I talked to them, they provide a driver
for the Android so it can talk SPP and still be an HID device to the OS.
Mine is supposed to arrive monday, I'll test and report results.

I am hoping you had good results last Monday with the keyboard. How did it go?

Freedom Pro bluetooth keyboard does work, (at least with Virtuous 3.0.1).
I set the keyboard to SPP mode, and powered it on, paperclip poked its
button to get into pairing mode. It paired fine, code 0000.
Once in paired but not connected mode. I went to their website (on the phones browser)
to download the driver file. http://www.otadrivers.com. After install
I setup the driver in settings following the guide on their website. It worked after that.

I have stock rom.
Has anyone use this on htc sense stock?

[Q] USB Connection Issues

I have an issue with my PC not recognizing my Captivate. When I plug in the USB cable to my PC, I can choose to activate USB mode and it prompts me to mount the drive, I say yes but nothing shows up in My Computer. I was able to do all this fine just a few days ago.
I have uninstalled/reinstalled the drivers. I installed Samsung Kies and it doesn't recognize the phone. I tried my phone on another PC and it won't show up there either. I've factory wiped the phone twice now.
Is it a problem with the phone or is there something I can do to get this to work?

I'm having the same issue. Did you get this resolved & if so, how? Tried both ports on my MB Pro & work PC...tried Samsung cable & another USB cable. Debugging is on.

Try Settings -> Applications -> USB Settings -> (select) Mass Storage
I found that when my captivate was set to Kies my computer wouldn't pick it up.

Mine was set to ask on connection. Tried mass storage mode (debugging off) & no dice. Back to ask on connection with debugging on, and still nothing. I've tried all 3 USB ports on my work laptop and both on the MB Pro. Any other ideas?

Did u try enabling "debug mode" and seeing if the PC recognizes it.

The main issue is usually your USB cable. I had the same issue. You need to find an OEM mini usb cable for it to work properly. The one that came with my phone works fine, but when i went to ATT and bought one for my work, it only lets you charge the phone and does not put your phone into USB connection mode.

The ones from MonoPrice work for me and they were like $1.50

Diablo: Been in debugging mode most of the time trying to get it to work. Main issue is getting my personal MB Pro to recognize, so I won't be able to check/tinker much until after work tonight.
cajuntigerbait: I've been using the provided Samsung cable – tried a work Blackberry cable (works fine with my work BB) to no avail as well.
Will update tonight. Any tried & true methods for cleaning the phone port while I'm at it? Thanks for the quick responses, everyone

Thanks, will check the site & order a few when I get a chance. Couldn't hurt to have a couple spares, right?

ty for the help i have searched but no luck

Any idea anyone please?

xbox 360 controller doesn't work on s4 4.2.2 + adam 2.2 kernel

been using this kernel for awhile, and pleased with it. however, got myself a brand new wired xbox 360 controller, plugged it in with USB OTG, and the controller just sit there with all 4 parts of the ring blinking. it is completely unresponsive whatsoever. no button works.
tried it on my friend's console, working fine. tested on his pc, works fine. on my pc, ditto.
it just somehow failed on my s4.
so i borrowed his wireless controller, tested on my s4, and still, same result. blinking light with no response.
done some digging around the net, strangely everyone suggest the controller should work as simple as plug-and-play. but i couldn't get which android version they were at.
disabled OTG helper, USB mass storage enabler, revoked SU permission, still no luck.
is there any explanation to this? any workaround? thanks.
EDIT: strangely enough, a cheap 8$ controller works with this s4.
but i still want to use my xbox's though

is there a way to force USB configuration to stay in MTP mode?

Just got my Moto X4 and it won't connect to my car stereo via USB like it should. Bluetooth works just fine for the most part (it does blank out for a few seconds every once in a while), but I want to connect to AppRadio on my car stereo for better sound and functionality.
I have a Pioneer AVH X3800BHS stereo in my car that has an AppRadio mode that I'm trying to connect to through USB, but the phone has to be in MTP mode. I'm able to click USB settings and see the option for MTP, press that and the phone automatically talks to the car stereo for a second and launches the AppRadio app but then immediately reverts back to charging only mode.
Is there any way to force the phone to stay in MTP mode, or does anyone have any thoughts on what's wrong? I have seen that a lot of people have had issues connecting to Android Auto, so I wonder if the same issue is causing this.
Stuff I've tried:
different USB cables
USB debugging on/off (restarted phone after changing)
Uninstall/re-install AppRadio app
in developer settings- changing Select USB Configuration setting to MTP, PTP, RNDIS, Audio Source (i've tried all the options just to see if would work.. it didn't)
swearing at the phone
turning Bluetooth off
resetting car stereo
turning off fingerprint login
activating car stereo as trusted device
Btw, the phone connects to my PC just fine and stays in MTP mode.
I can't think of anything else to try unless there's a way to force the phone into MTP and somehow make it stay there!
Is this just not going to work until possibly the Pi update? I've thought about rooting and trying another ROM but would prefer to keep the phone stock at least for a while.
