how to get Stowaway BT driver work with WM6 - General Accessories

I'm using HTC Trinity WM6 and wish to use my old Stowaway universal Bluetooth keyboard working? i cannot find driver for WM6. anyone have it?
please help!! i love my BT keyboard and wish to get it work again.
thanks

Attached is the driver I use for my Kaiser WM6/6.1, dunno if it'll work on your Trinity or not.
If not here is the drivers page: http://corporate.igo.com/support/Drivers.asp. Just choose your manufacturer and model.

Note that WM6 comes with basic keyboard drivers -- you only need to install a driver if you want to use special functionality such as customized keys. I use the built-in drivers on my Kaiser with a BT keyboard (not the Stowaway, but supposedly compatible).

htc tytn II and sierra bt keyboard
everybody,
trying to connect / use my new sierra bt keyboard with my htc tytn II and nothing works,.... if i go through the htc the keyboard is detected, asks for a security code, does not recognise the one i put in, (although the instructions say pick one of your choice), and does not connect.
if i go through the keyboard CAB installed on the htc, still cannot connect,.... i am not exactly a 'newbie' but if someone could give a step by step direction on how to get this to work, i would be very grateful,....
thanks,
ek

sorry everyone, i used elyspar's CAB file on my htc tytn II,.... thanks for your help,....ek

found a vid on youtube very helpful,.... it's actually quite simple to connect, so maybe i need to retract, i am a newbie,....
here's the link, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8HAge9yJu4
no functionality though, just basic input, good for emails / word, but limited,....
guess i have to install the driver on my kaiser somehow,....

Hi everybody, can you tell me which driver i have to install for my Niki? It's not on the list...
Thank you very much.

I could use an Apple Alu BT KB with HTC TyTN (not II). Paired. Without any special driver. Remember to press Enter on the KB after the code. Now I have a new Touch HD and I get it paired but nothing happens clicking on the keyboard...
I will start installing drivers which I find here suggested and will report.

iGo stowaway BT keyboard and WM6
Hello all,
I originally posted this message in a Blackstone forum, but as this problem probably relates to WM6 in general I thought I would post here
I have an igo bluetooth keyboard and I am using Blackstone phone (running the usual WM6.1 proffessional. I installed the igo software and everything worked fine except that phone crashed a lot. Not so useful. I then uninstalled the software and paired the keyboard using the onboard Bluetooth keyboard drivers. All worked well for one run through and I was able to type away. However I have not got the thing to work again since, even after re-pairing the devices. Does anyone haev any thoughts about what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks.
Tom

Hello Guys, partly not to the topic hear....
I have an igo stowaway keyboard and a travel mouse and i have been using them with my fusi n560 (wm 6.0). Now I bought a Nokia 5800 mobile phone with symbian s60v3 touch. The keyboard came with multiple driver including both wm and symbian versions, but the mause came only with wm driver. Now the question is: do you happen to know how could I use my mouse with my symbian device? Sorry for asking symbian related question here....

Special Characters and the Sierra Stowaway
I have previously used the Sierra Bluetooth Keyboard and it worked flawlessly on my T-Mobile Wing running WM5... I recently tried to port the same driver suggested by ek... (PPC5) to the T-Mobile HTC Touch Pro2, WM6.1.
It works on all keys, including the function keys, but cannot produce the specialty characters on the 5th, number-row, i.e., [email protected]#$%^&*()
Everything else seems to work fine... anybody come across a fix for this?
Thanks!

I've been interested in acquiring an Apple Wireless Keyboard for my PDA too.
But from skimming other people's post, looking at what was successful on the internet (e.g. the guy on youtube with the Mio who paired with the Apple BT Keyboard), it seems that all the success stories come from people running WM5/6
Anything 6.1 and above seems to not work in general, although you have some success stories like from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=486595
Has anyone successfully paired with 6.1-6.5?

I have similar problems with my Samsung Omnia, WM6.1 and the German Stowaway Keyboard (QWERTZ) with the driver 4.51.
Just the keys !$& are not working.
Could there be a workaround like using ASCI numbers?
I tried ALT+33 to get a "!" but had no success.
Does anybody else has some suggestions?
Thanks,
Sigi

I solved my problem:
I installed the English driver 4.52
(I have an English ROM and use a German Keyboard)
The driver was changed from version Ger4.51 to Eng4.52 on several places and I think they solved some Bugs.
I resetted my Omnia after the installation.
Because the problem still existed, I resetted the Omnia once again, while the Stowaway keyboard was selected in the keyboard menu.
After that reset all the characters worked like the should.
Hope that helps.

help with Stowaway bluetooth keyboard and gsmart i300 wm6

hmm this is strange, using the software/driver i can not see the keyboard, if i use the OS BT i can connect and i have basic keyboard functions i do not get the special keys to function which is critical, like ok/X and so on...
I do not know what BT stack gigabyte gsmart i300 (running wm6) has? it supports bt 2.0 with stereo... but the stack is??
also at the moment i could use some third party application that emulates maybe a keyboard to a fuller extent, or mapping program of keyboard or keys, were maybe i could map those keyboard function combo's to the applications virtual keyboard or phone buttons
Any help would be greatly appreciated
In the Stowaway driver-applet, there's an option to disable the native OS HID drivers, so the Stowaway driver can take over control.
Got mine working perfectly under WM6

Artemis WM6.1 + iGo BT keyboard + logitech v470 = trouble

First of all: For about a year, the keyboard was working fine, using thinkoutside 4.52 official driver. Then I got a nice gift: logitech V470 BT laser mouse. Then the hell begun. How in the world connect it to the PDA?
Someone on this forum claimed that V470 works on HTC Athena out-of-the-box, using included in wm6/wm6.1 bluetooth hid stack. For some reason, after I pair the mouse and check input device in BT services list - nothing happens. I tried:
- uninstalling ThinkOutsde driver - the even keyboard stopped working, even thi I paired it and checked input device,
- bluemouse/ blueinput - it says BT on, mouse off. On their site I read it's probably due to incompatible BT stack. No chances of telling what BT stack is installed on PPC... :/
- using hacked version of stowaway keyboard/mouse driver. I got "keyboard not working / please reinstall stowawayxt.dll" error. I checked - hacked one has 162kB, the one from 4.52 - 59kB and is signed, while hacked one is not. WTF?
- I know, that stowaway disables built-in HID, but even when I'm enabling it again, nothing is happening.
- Deep search on google on v470, bluetooth hid, bluetooth at all on PDAs, bt stacks and such revealed nothing. Please, help!

Hello Vartharian, did you ever have any luck getting the Bluetooth mouse to work? I too am trying to find a solution, but I lack the hacked thinkoutside files to work from.
If you have one I can take a look and see if I can reverse engineer a fix.
Thanks,
Peter

Some kind of BlueTek (or something) drivers for WinMo to enable BT mouse use. Found them in some download somewhere in the tubes, look for "BlueMouse driver" or something. Installs driver and settings panel. Hope this helps. Maybe then you could get some sweet Quake action going.

Celluon laser keyboard and "internal inconsistency"

I have installed the driver for wm6 for the Celluon laser keyboard onto the TP2
The programme installs, the Projector Keyboard appears in the list of keyboards, but when I try and search with Bluetooth for the keyboard I get an error message saying
"the security account database contains an internal inconsistency”.
Can anyone help?
(It worked fine on the Touch HD).
Thanks
A friend was clearing his house and throwing one of these away, he'd had issues getting it working with various pieces of kit. I've tried it on both the TP2 and Dual Touch and get problems with both.
On the TP2 I get the same internal inconsistency error and the dual touch won't even connect; despite the dual touch being on the official list of hardware. It's worrying that Celluon still only have WM 6.0 drivers and haven't updated to say whether they work on 6.1 (should do really).
same error message with the htc hd2 :-( i´m pretty angry....
can´t anyone help??
greets,
mike
worked on wm5 and wm6 (I believe)
Hey -
the celluon worked (albeit without the mouse ability) on the x51v wm5 (both widcomm and MS drivers) ... and I believe it worked as a keyboard on wm6 (CC20) rom... but now under wm6.5.3 (carbon omega arirreak rom) (MS bt drivers, i believe) it doesn't work. Won't even pair.
Such a shame that such a cool product can't support the celluon company. Are they broke? bankrupt? no updates, no responses to emails...
wish they would release the damn driver... or we could find a way to make it HID compatible... I'm going to switch to widcomm bt drivers... and give it a try.
-on a side not, apparently at CES this year they had a similar device, but instead of a fixed laser keyboard projection, they had a pico projector so you had a virtual 10" touchscreen projected... looked waaay cool!
prob not bt compat though...

Bluetooth Gamepad

Hi all, I currently have an out of contract Tytn II and am looking to upgrade to a Touch Pro 2 soon. I notice that the bluetooth stack appears to have changed and I wondered if anyone knows whether the bluetooth gamepad will work with it? I tried without success to make my gamepad work with my Tytn II and had the same problem with my old Wizard in that it refused to connect. Installing the Widcomm stack on my Wizard made it connect but I have my Tytn II by then. Does anyone know if it works with this new stack? Cheers.

The new stack on the Rhodium is a Widcomm stack, no idea if it works with the gamepad though, but can gaurantee that if it doesn't now, it will be able to in the future. I thought the Wizard had a Widcomm stack by default too........
Cheers,
Beasty
is the bluetooth stack from Broadcom or Widcomm?
gamepad
i heard the gamepad would work with magician. i did some testing with my ralph and got the gamepad to scroll around my menus but my games would not render after installing gamepad drivers. (pocketnester and pac-man) couldnt say why however. with my tp2 i have had very little luck. (i was able to setup a serial port but that was it)

What is magician? Also, on your TP2 do you know what bluetooth stack you are using? and do you run Win Mo 6.1 or 6.5.x?

Alternative to MobileRemote for the Touch Pro 2?

I used to use MobileRemote by MobileSRC.com with my touch pro and it worked great as an easy to use keyboard/mouse combo for my Home Theater PC.
I have been trying to get it to work on the TP2 though and finally I decided to search a bit and found a post on the MobileRemote forums saying that it will not work at all on the TP2 due to the changed BlueTooth Stack (Widcomm) that is included by default on the TP2.
(I believe this is the same thing that causes some issues with TomTom, but that's a different topic)
I was just curious if anyone can recommend a similar program, where I can use my TP2 as the keyboard and a trackpad or an air mouse for a windows PC? If anyone has tested them out and know what works with the TP2 please let me know. Thanks!
there are a couple out there but you have to install a software on the PC and on your device for them to work.
The beauty about MobileRemote is that you don't need to do that so the computer automaticly senses it as a bluetooth keyboard/mouse.
I was also upset that it doesn't work with the Widcomm BT Stack because now i can't use it with my PS3 and it was the only option.
My solution would be to get the MS BT Stack ported over to the Rhodium because the Widcomm stack has caused other issues for me on top of this one.
