Hello,
I am trying to use my (German) Diamond with the old (English) Freedom Mini Bluetooth Keyboard. See http://pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=reviews&id=725
I could not find any drivers for this keyboard on the net anymore, but pairing does work fine without, basic writing is also possible (only z and y is switched). Though I have major problems with the remaining keyboard layouts, as almost all additional characters (!"§$%& etc.) are not there, where the keyboard layout says. Its always a try and error approach for me.
Does anyone manage to use it in a real "what you see is what you get" mode maybe by changing the language on the diamond or via a driver?
Is there any easy way to change the the keyboard layout (AEKmap might work, but with it I had to remap almost all keys)
Thanks,
Michael
Characters mismatch
I bought an Freedom Universal Keyboard² and have the same problem regarding some keys do not match up with the signs on the keyboard.
I also put an message on their help desk (a week ago), no answer yet.
Unfortunally the choises between the layouts in the driver is very limited.
Hey there,
Does anyone also own a Freedom Pro Keyboard ? It works to install the ****ty Firmware but i cannot connect the Keyboard with, so that the User defined Shortcuts are unable to manage .
They (according to their FAQ) know the Problem, but their solve doesnt
work.
So my question to you guys is if you solved this problem.
thx a lot for any helpful answers
I have had nothing but trouble with Freedom keyboards - I tried the Freedom Pro, but I could only get it to do the basic keyboard functions with my HD2, no special buttons or characters. I sold it to my wife who uses it with her Blackberry without any problems at all - possibly this is an issue with WM becoming defunct, developers can't be bothered to produce proper software for the platform any longer.
I remember I had issues with the Universal 2 before that - again, it works ok as a basic keyboard with the HD2, but both keyboards actually stopped working if I loaded the proper drivers!!
Unfortunately, with the departure of Stowaway/iGo, Freedom are in a monopoly position in this market.
Bottom line - if you want a basic keyboard of a good size and ease of use, it's ok, but don't imagine you are going to get fancy features based on my experience.

Ok, thx anyway for information ..
i bought it because of the ability to define Shortcuts
i think i sell it on ricardo / Ebay ..
but i've seen some other Keyboards somewhere in a I-net-Shop.
so hopefully i will find some handy Gear
update:
is it possible to inactivate the WM HID Software ?
maybe this would help .. or try another Bluetooth Stack ?
ok again update:
maybe they fixed something, but i downloaded a few minutes ago
the Firmware (its the File for Broadcomm BT Stack, message to all noobs like i am
installed it again and , hey , it works !!
thx because i was going to be angry ....!!

hi, im new here, i'm looking for samsung keypad for CM9 does anybody knows if this exist at all, i've been looking for it, no luck i hope someone can help me with this.
You mean like a bluetooth keyboard case? It may exist but nothing comes to mind. If you mean a full sized keyboard just hook it up via bluetooth, or USB with an adapter for the port. Then just change to USB host mode. That's what I used to do for my tablet at least.
this one
i'm saying this one, it does not come with cyanogen 9, the pic is here if anyone know anything please help me
Not sure, sorry, kind of looks like swift key from what I remember. I like the JB keyboard, any reason you're still on cm9? Just curious.
But if anyone knows what keyboard that is feel free to chime in
there's no particular reaseon but, if i change to cm10 then is there a way to put samskung sotck keyboard?
Changing ROMs shouldn't make a difference whether you can install a keyboard or not, you'd still have to find it. I just don't see the point in running an outdated version of android when the Captivate can run JB very well.
Is there any reason you want the Stock keyboard other than looks?
i already have have CM10.1 with android 4.2.2, so how do i install the samsung keyboard on it?

yes there's a reason, my fingers write better on this keyboard, android keyboard is smaller than stock samsung keyboard.
You have to find it and install it. I'm not sure what it would be called or if you could simply extract it from the Stock ROM.
But can you answer my question from the previous post? I'm only asking because there are a lot of better keyboards out there.
EDIT: Ah understood, sorry post timing was off. Have you tried Swift Key? I just don't know exactly where to get the keyboard you're looking for.

Try Smart Keyboard. The keys are larger just like in Samsung keyboard, it supports themes and is very feature rich. You may configure it to look and act like Samsung keyboard. Supports many languages + downloadable predictive text dictionaries. This is what I use. I don't like default Android keyboard either. Trial version is available too.
I have tried Swiftkey and Swype and personally prefer Swype myself. Swiftkey didn't seem nearly as accurate on their swiping.
