[Q] bluetooth keyboard help

hey guys I've been searching for a solution all day and I'm out of ideas.
my bluetooth keyboard came in the mail today and for some reason it refuses to work on cm9. the keyboard works perfectly with my netbook, my friends iphone, his ipad, and even booted into webOS but when I'm booted into cm9 nothing happens. I can successfully pair it and it says its connected in the settings but none of the buttons respond. Does anyone know what the problem might be?
edit: forgot to mention I also tried wiping and flashing a new rom. tried both cm9 alpha 2 and aokp m4. same problem on both.
I don't know if this will help, but I've got a Motorola BT keyboard that is designed for android that doesn't work directly with WebOS (or Windows for that matter). To get it to work with WebOS I have to press and hold the 'V', 'A' and 'R' keys when I turn it on.
Perhaps your keyboard has some similar way of selecting alternate platforms?

nope that doesn't work :[.
so I tried my friends bluetooth keyboard and it works great. It seems android 4.0.3 on touchpad seems to be partial to certain keyboards..

So what keyboards are compatible with HP touchpad? I'm thinking of ordering one next week but don't want to waste the money on one that doesn't work.

Logitech BT Keyboard w/ case

http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/tablet-keyboard-ipad?crid=1240
I know it says it's for ipad, I am wondering if it would work with the N7? Did anyone get a chance to try one of these?
It looks really good, not too small, also the case can be used as a sort of dock.
LE: for clarification, I know there is an android version too, but at the store I could pick this up, they only have the ipad version. I cannot order online at the moment. At least from the pictures the two versions seem very similar, and I was assuming they use the same BT connectivity technology.
My guess would be that its usable since its Bluetooth but the Android version would be more useful. Kind of like having a Mac vs PC keyboard on your computer. Some keys have odd symbols like the Apple command key (sometimes called the cloverleaf key) working like a control key or perhaps the Windows key. Placement of some keys will be different also. As someone who's used nothing but PC keyboards on Macs for decades I'm used to the differences but you might not like them.

You are right. I saw the key layout. Will wait with the keyboard... it's not that urgent anyway.
Wife has one, it works fine, but missing any Android-specific keys that might be on keyboards, I honestly don't know what they'd be though.. I assume things like home, back, search, media play/stop etc... None of that works. The "Opt" key launches stuff, but none of it particularly useful (Calculator etc).
But for typing etc, it works fine.

There's an android / windows version too...

[Q] Bluetooth Keyboard and Galaxy mini - can this work?

Dear all,
First of all, great forum! Reading other people's posts helped me a lot to fix multiple problems.
Although I am not a big fan of starting threads myself, I am really stuck with this one. Long story short, I bought a generic no-name bluetooth keyboard for light gaming purposes while traveling.
The keyboard worked perfectly well straight from the box with my work MacBook Pro, with colleague's iPhone and with my Ubuntu netbook. Unfortunately, my Samsung Galaxy Mini didn't even "see" the device. My phone was running Gingerbread at that time (frankly, I was fine with it). Since I really wanted the keyboard to work, I decided to try out some roms. I have tried:
Cyanogenmod 7
CM 9
CM 10.1
CM 10.2
On each one of them, the phone would "see" the keyboard and pair with it, showing "connected to hid device" message, but it wouldn't actually allow me to type anything (suggesting that either the connection was immediately lost or these two devices are incompatible). I tried googling this problem and didn't find anything involving Samsung Galaxy Mini working with a bluetooth hid device. I've only found posts like this:
I recently bought a mini bluetooth keyboard that I have paired with my phone (Samsung Galaxy Mini) with no problems but I have no idea how to get the two to connect so I can use the keyboard. The keyboard works fine with my iPad, PS3, and macbook pro, just not my phone.

Such posts would typically not get any good replies. So, essentially, my question is whether there is any hope of making these two devices work. Or should I just stop trying?
Hope that somebody could help me.

[Q] Galaxy Gear - Loyalty Cards

I used to have a Sony Smartwatch and have recently got a Samsung Galaxy Gear (1st one) and wondered if there are any loyalty card apps that I can sideload? I have tried StoCard which worked up until I had to manually type the barcode in, no keyboard pops up. All of the others I have tried need an internet connection.
Just hoping that someone may have a bright idea?
Thanks in advance.
Sideload a keyboard?

I thought that, but need a way of popping the keyboard up! Hitting my head against a brick wall!
The keyboard should pop up when needed and when you tap a text field, like with an android phone or tablet. I use google keyboard on my gear all the time.
Flashing Null_23 works pretty well keyboard wise. It will take some getting used to but it works .

Nintendo Wavebird configuration with Android

I have my gamecube wavebird hooked up to my device and I was wondering if there was any way anyone knew of to get some actual use out of it instead of it just being a novelty because in its current state to me that is all it is. The main joystick doesn't seem to work, all of the buttons seem to be functioning as the same input, some sort of double click. The dpad works fine and the cstick seems to function also. I could use a ps4 controller for things just as easily but I love the feel of wavebirds in my hands. I would much rather use it.
Still haven't been able to get the wavebird working correctly. Does anyone have any advice for me?
