I have been reading some of the reviews on amazon about some of these mini keyboards, and I'm still adjusting to the onscreen keyboard as I came from the D2 then the TP2 before that, so I would like to know what ones are compatible with android? Does anyone have one? Most people in the reviews say that they can't get them to work with android, so I don't want to waste 20-30-40 bucks just to find out its not compatible with our devices. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Curious about this too, if don't remember seeing anything about bluetooth keyboards working without some hacking.

I guess you and I must be the only ones who care about this.
No...I very much care about this, too. I just tried to pair my Thunderbolt with my Apple wireless keyboard and it did pair. Now, however, it says "paired and not connected" but when I click on the keyboard name it does not do anything. When I press and hold the keyboard name, my only option is to unpair. Not sure how to proceed...
Reading a lot of the reviews on amazon it seems to be a running theme that not all of the BT keyboards are compatible with android. Now, whether that is true or not, I don't know. I was hoping to find someone who has one and can provide some insight. Supposedly, according to the reviews, there are two different protocols for BT and only one(spp, if that makes sense?) works with android. That's the best info I have gathered, but this is strictly based off of reviewers, so I don't actually know anything. So I thought I would bring my question/problem to the smartest community on earth.
I will play around again with my Apple keyboard tonight and see if I can figure this out for you. And for me!
I'm interested as well. Like you, I haven't been able to find any hard info either, and don't want to waste money...
hello, I've been interested in this for a while now…*
here's the BT keyboard i'm considering:
Spider E-BTKB-B001 Black Bluetooth Wireless Ultra Slim Keyboard - seen on newegg ~ $40
although today I tried this app:
market.android.com - Remote Web Desktop
its wifi keyboard feature gets your foot in the door with real keyboard text entry…*haven't tested this for my use case - notes in audible bookmarks - but i look forward to the future development of this Remote Web Desktop application
oops, i can't include links yet
So, if I understood your post correctly, you have already received this and it does work correctly? Can you post some pics to show how big it is compared to the phone? Thanks for the post.

I can confirm that my buddy's apple bt keyboard works with my TB, but my dell bt keyboard does not.
Can you provide the keyboard model that worked?
I have a no name mini bt keyboard that pairs but will not connect with my unrooted thunderbolt..
The one I have is an unbranded keyboard
Mini Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard for iPad/iPhone 4.0 OS/Android/Window Mobile/Symbian Smartphone
It will pair but not connect.

Intrigued, I would really like to know also. Is that the one for the Xoom?
I've got one of those no-name (actually a company called magic-pro) bluetooth keyboards, and I've tried every app/driver out there that I've been able to find to get the danged thing to work. So far the most useful thing on it is the laserpointer, it's a great cat toy. The bluetooth dongle does work pain-free with a Windows 7 machine, but that's not why I got the thing. Going to keep on trying new revisions, hopefully I'll hit something eventually that doesn't require rooting.

Hello everyone!
Maybe a dumb question, but how do you activate the car home?
A lot of reviews mentionned it, but I can't find it on my phone...
Thanks.
Not a dumb question at all..
I can't help you I'm afraid.
In addition to what you are seeking, I'm about to start a search looking for the morning Alarm Clock screen with Home Apps as well.
Use car dock once it comes it, or has it?
Using it will activate car home.

Negative... this screen operates independently of the car dock.
Think of it this way ~ how on earth can a piece of hardware control what you see on your screen if the items are not there in the first place.
What about the Morning screen with it's large digital clock and several morning applications all in landscape mode and the TV Remote control?
You can't say until we get the hardware we can't see those screens and apps as well!

True true, but according to the way that Samsung phrases it, it appears to be the way I've stated it. Correct or no?
So far everything that I've said is speculations BASING on official sources.
Yes it's not 100% correct, but at least pretty high accuracy.

It just feels like everything on this phone is about waiting for Samsung, I suspect all these features will eventually appear, its just about having the patience to wait for them.
Still waiting for the Home Dock, the Car Dock, the TV control, for Kies to recognize the 9000 on the app store, for spare batteries, for firmware updates... and of course Froyo.

I have patience, no doubt about that. I need it by the bucket load in my profession.
What annoys me though is when a department fail to provide material facts, especially when these facts have been mentioned that long they now appear as works not of fact but fiction.
Yes, they will come but in the meantime it remains shoddy there is nothing available of material in both the items and information.
Agreed, its pretty poor that they didn't at least add the token '* coming Sept 2010' instead of faking up the applications and presenting them as ready and available now.

The logic that we gotta employ is simply regard Samsung's strategy as NOT using any logic at all.
Like we discussed last time, 2011+ tv only.
I guess the only way for us to find out is to email Samsung. Someone should compile a list of "urgency" questions and we'll all send it to Samsung Mobile department.

But Beardds, at least they have released the phone first right?

This is strange, confusing and disappointing.
Why has Samsung released these apps which we have been asking them time after time but with no response and yet here you find them listed.
The European SIM free Galaxy S does not list any of these apps on either the Samsung or general Market.
Could you upload the .apk files so that we can check to see if they will install and load please?
So Samsung support wasn't that crazy when they said it could be on the market already, just not for the i9000
Funny how the US versions seems to get preferential treatment, in both accessories and software. Still no dock or cases to be found on the EU sites
UPDATE:
It looks like Hashcode will look into the possibility of allowing audio input simultaneously with audio output at the kernel level for 3.0 Kernel for Kindle Fire
I'm hoping that this will stir up some interest in using our kindles to make phone calls over Wifi.
There was a thread in the General section that talked about using earbuds with a mic as audio input to the KF. I downloaded "Voice Recorder" from Google Play Store and confirmed that my set of earbuds works great with the KF to record audio.
The pinout of the earbud's 3.5mm phono plug from tip to sleeve is left+, right+, ground (- or common), and mic+. Most earbuds with a mic designed for smartphones (iphone, HTC, etc.) have this pinout.
I successfully made a phone call with my KF connected to wifi, using Groove IP with my Google Voice account (free and easy to set up on the PC, both downloadable from the Play Store). Now when I say successful, I mean the call went through and I could hear the person on the other end, but they could not hear me. No big surprise, I think we could be close to having Groove IP recognize the audio input on the KF the same way the Voice Recorder app did. This is why I am reviving this topic with its own thread in hopes that some smart folks here might know how to proceed in making progress on this front.
I am running MoDaCo Gr8 ROM and I have Google Contacts (synced), Voice, and Groove IP. Groove IP looks great!! just like a phone interface with a contact list that is my synced Google contacts. SO CLOSE!!!
Any positive feedback on what could be done to make the audio input on the KF accessible by more than just the Voice Recorder app?
For earlier discoveries about mic input: FlashFire1 and shravbits have posted some useful info to note.
If you feel like giving it a try for fun, test your mic input with the Voice Recorder app.
Then setup a Google Voice account, and download the Google Voice app from the Play Store, then install Groove IP and connect it to your Google Voice account.
earbuds/mic that may work with the KF:
Apple generic and OEM earbuds
Misc earbuds with mic
Mini Mic
It has been noted somewhere that half duplexing is possibly being switched in software at the app level. It looks like our kindle fires come with the Texas Instruments AIC3110 chip ( http://www.ti.com/product/tlv320aic3110#description ) and from what I can tell, this hardware does support full duplex (audio input and output stream simultaneously).
I'm experienced with this whole mic thing (considering I started this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23546913)
But I don't think this 'calling from my kindle' thing is going to go much further. Skype isn't working, Google Voice doesn't work, Grooveshark doesn't work! No VoIP is working! I have tried, but the hardware just isn't cooperating at all! Sure Voice Search and all work, but this is, well, harder. I will keep trying and experimenting with this till I get it at least close to working

I think it may be possible to enable duplex audio at the kernel level.... just need devs with experience there to look into it.... I'm hoping.
Maybe with a few modifications to Hashcode's 3.0 Kernel, this could be working. We shall see

I've tested the Grooveshark and works well; Skype and Groove IP can establish the VoIP calls, obviously the other party can't hear me as gruuvin said.
If this is possible to activate the microphone, definitely the fire will satisfy the basic users' needs, and it will make it more attractive for the lower budget.
A member, leroy641, contacted me by private message, because he could not post in this section. It is an interesting note from a Groove IP dev who has considered this.
leroy641 said:
i cant post in the developer forums but just wanted to let u know i contacted groove on 3/29 and this is thier answer
me:Have you guys thought of a kindle fire version? The default android sound recorder works with a headphone/ mic combo. I have tried every alternative mic option from the troubleshooting section. If you could somehow figure out how to use the same input as the sound recorder and add that to the mic options that would be great.
snrb labs:Hi,The issue is that other settings on the mic are required for VoIP use. Our understanding is the audio driver on the kindle fire doesn't implement those settings. So it wouldn't be possible to support the device unless that was changed.
seems like a driver mod might fix it.......

Hey, I'm a firmware developer working on a networking module that implements a pretty complicated utility systems protocol... maybe that will keep me out of hot water with the android devs? 8-/
I did a quick search on audio full-duplex support for android and found a TI-Android-ICS-PortingGuide wiki (http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/TI-Android-ICS-PortingGuide) that mentioned in the "Audio" section support for simultaneous playback and record (full-duplex mode) for an AM335xevm that uses AIC31 audio codec. I believe our kindles use the AIC3110 audio chip, so maybe this is good news.

Had my Ouya for over a month and... haven't really used it much. Got a lot on my plate and this thing is too brickable for someone like me to mess with. I'm hoping that the public release will include some surprises (really, I just hope it becomes worth the $99 I paid a year ago). Like everyone else around here, I'm pretty bummed out that the Ouya people completely lied about this system being hacker-friendly, and the games available on their store... um.... pretty much all suck. Installed amazon app store and nova launcher BTW. Improvement, but not so much as would make me choose to use the ouya over my ps3, computer, tablet, or.... um.... a block of wood. (wow, didn't intend to rant. sorry).
In the meantime, I'd like to use the controller with some of my steam games. It's unbelievably simple to connect it to my PC, and it is recognized as an Ouya controller, but the buttons are mapped... strangely. For the life of me I can't understand why remapping the buttons is not built into windows. So.... anyone know how to do this?
Thanks in advance.
Try the utility used for the Logitech Game Pad.

If the Ouya shows up as a "game controller", then you can map it. Look for the option in my screen shot attached below.

Unless I'm doing something wrong, that doesn't appear to work. The ouya controller comes up as a game controller (even when you use the "game controllers" link in the tray menu) but the "profiler" says that it does not detect any game controllers. I uninstalled and reinstalled the ouya controller to see if that would make a difference.
This is a bit ridiculous. An "open" system that you can't hack and can't repurpose. This thing is going to flop so badly at retail it's painful to think about it.
there are no drivers. You're more hoping that generic HID gamepad drivers are going to work. And CoachClass said to try it. He/she didn't claim it was going to work. Obviously, he/she has some experience or read of others using other controllers with it and that it if showed in the spot, it usually worked.
Now, if the controller actually turns out to be worthwhile, someone will create some kind of app to use it on the PC. Be patient, the console hasn't even been released to the public, so it's still in beta.

I'm not doubting my tone came off harsh or a bit rude. Collateral damage from other things. Nonetheless, I'm not going to excuse what I said, came off more harsh than intended. My tone was more overall to the post overall given the last line of your post. The other comments were more implied based off that line.
But what I said was true about the drivers, and the need to be patient for them to come along. If you like the controller, it may be worth while to ask Ouya to create the drivers at some point in the future.

I'm alright, we're cool.
I'm getting my Ouya next week, so I'll be able to play with it a little. I understand some of the disappointment. Ouya would be better as a pure Android machine. I won't referee whether the company lived up to their promise of making an open system or not. I could see that they meant open as in anyone could develop a game for it, but the rest of XDA wants a system that we can play with.
But, I'm still looking forward to using it for some of the things we know works. It would be nice if the Ouya controller can be repurposed as a PC controller, or even phone/tablet controller, but I'm glad other controllers (PS3, Logitech) could be used on the Ouya. That's a plus, so I'd give them credit for that.
Anyways, hope with more people working on the Ouya it'll be able to satisfy our expectations. I'm glad for everyone who's on this forum and generating ideas and trying out stuff.

Hey, wait a minute. Has anyone tried connecting the Ouya to their phone/tablet?
There's a bluetooth gamepad call the Moga. On the playstore, you can find an app for it. Not sure if that helps.

yeah, but why not have both
does the watch also work as a regular microphone for non-phone apps?
Hi, thanks for the review :good: - I was wondering, does the watch also work as a microphone for non-phone apps like the sound recorder or google voice search?

Sorry, it only does what is supported by BT protocols, so it can't be used as a sound recorder or Google Now search (like when you push multi-function button on in-line remotes of various headphones). But you can do voice dial by speaking a name of a person in your contact list, and it accurately dials it.
I wonder what these smart-watches will evolve into within the next 3 years or so.
I have big phone (inew 6000) and I hoped this gadget wil be usefull but i disappointed (26 Dolars from focalprice)
1. The last dial button is big and i often push it accidentally - annoy me
2. The speaker is quite silent (for empy office is ok but not on street)
3. I see on display icon of smm or email but it dont work
Is it available in india? can anyone send me the link?
Notificstion?
Does the watch have notification for SMS? No need to read the text just notification that it has been received?

Thanks for the review of this humble watch. I ordered one today based upon your review. I have a Windows 8.1 Nokia Lumia 521 (AT&T 520) and need a hands free device for my wrist. You would think this would be an easy find since all headsets have this functionality but noooo. There are a few bands that will ring/vibrate and allow taking a call (all with tiny displays and watch time outs) but no others I can locate that will allow voice calling. None of higher end smartwatches (including the newly released this week Windows sports band which has NO SPEAKER) even allow answering calls for the Windows OS. Experimenting with an old headset, I found I can call and send a text using the Windows personal assistant, Cortana with voice commands (likely send email as well). I am still experimenting with what I can retrieve with Cortana but am hoping for full voice functionality with the watch.
