Hi there,
I'm trying to connect a rather simple/cheap bluetooth keyboard with the latest cm7 (beta 6 - amazing work thank you so much!). It's very simple to get it "Connected to hid device", but I cannot use the keyboard to actually type on the device at all.
I have been typing successfully with blueinput (connecting is tricky but there's a manual somewhere. This proves that I'm using a normal working hid keyboard), thing is that I'd love to make a Hebrew layout, which should be possible with the built in hid support in CM, if only I can get the keyboard to work....
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...th-hid-devices/page__view__findpost__p__40957
*I'm posting at xda and cyanogenmod's forums because I can't establish if the problem is because cm7 on the motorola defy is on (rather advanced) beta, or because I'm using a brandless keyboard, which CM might not like.
Cheers!
Froyo handles HID just fine!
Take a look at this post of mine. It's a confirmation that a cheap BT keyboard does work with Froyo! Maybe Quarx can pick some files from the 3.4.3-11 ROM!?
Just my 2 cents...
Regards,
Carlos
Uh, that's awesome, I'd wish it was just working with my setup. wondering what exactly is missing there because it does report that it's connected to hid device (but as we know that's not really enough usually) hopefully someone a bit more talented than me would want to make it work then.
hijacking my own thread here- how do you like typing on that tiny thing? you can't really put all fingers on it at once can you? it's more like a one finger type thing I'd think. I sketched the keyboard down from the given dimentions (a while ago) and I figured it won't be good for my needs...
Logitech Mediaboard Pro Working!
Did a quick test to see if my logitech mediaboard works on beta6 CM7, after i found this thread
I previously tried back on 2.1 when i got the phone in december with no luck- the phone couldnt even find the keyboard even with a multitude of apps i tried
So if anyone else has this keyboard, theres some info
-- this also means basic Bluetooth HID controller is working in cm7 or 2.3.4 ginger
I bought the same keyboard and i am able to pair it with the defy on the latest nightly.
I cannot use it for text input though.
Hope it will get fixed soon.
does it say "connected to hid device" or something else?
try bluetooth keyboard easyconnect. its on the market, and no I couldn't get it to work for me...
=(
It says "Connected to HID device"
It also recognizes key presses on the keyboard as i were able to check with "blueinput" which makes a sound on keypress.
I cant use it to input anything though.
as I said before, I can type with blueinput and bluekey jp but they disconnect all the time. you should be able to at least get them to work. rt(f)m...
try to uncheck the hid profile from the bluetooth configuration menu, at least to make it work with those two drivers.
I did uncheck HID but neither of the drivers work.

Hi everyone... I've got a few questions.
A few weeks ago I ordered an UbiQuio bluetooth keyboard:
http://www.expansys.de/p.aspx?i=139459
Got here fine... but now here's the problem - it only works about half the time.
With the original WM5.0 ROM that came with my Prophet it won't connect properly at all - the driver says there's a connection, but the keyboard simply won't work. On various WM6.0 ROMs (using Transformer 1.1 right now, been through a bunch of others), it takes an average of five connects to get the keyboard working - whether using the UbiQuio driver or just adding the keyboard as a regular bluetooth input device - the same problem every time - It says it's connected, but the keyboard doesn't work...
So basically - is there some sort of Bluetooth fix or update that I'm missing? Or is this just a problem with my keyboard (crappy manufacturing or something...?). Anyone else have problems like this? What's my best course of action (short of sending the keyboard back...)?
Thanks a lot!
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.
I am so frustrated! I just received my MSI BGP100 Bluetooth Gamepad yesterday & for the life of me can not get this thing working. (also known as the chainpus BGP-100 - it also says Meganet on the box). This company appears to be out of business, so I am really at everyone's mercy to get this running.
So far, I have been able to pair the gamepad with my phone & install the WinCE_Widcomm driver (this is after I installed & removed the Windows CE MS drivers - which didn't work).
I am using the 1.50 version of the gamepad application. When it opens, I go to connect to the gamepad (by selecting "active gamepad") It looks like it's going to connect, but I just get "connection error"
If anyone can steer me in the right direction, I would be soooooooo grateful. (can't wait to use it to play some vintage NES games!)
bump for a good question.
I'm working on this too. So far no luck. Anyone get it working yet? I cannot get it to connect to the joystick. The weird thing is that if I pair it manually it connects, but the program will still not allow it to connect and none of the buttons work.
ditto
worked fine on my touch pro though

in the same boat im getting Connection Error #4 can not find bluetooth gamepad, Search again??? i havea few more things to try will post back if I have success
Was just thinking about purchasing this for my Tilt 2. I have read reports about issues with Win Mo 6.5... Having second thoughts if it won't work.
No one has found a fix for this yet?
I think it has somethig to do with the bluetooth stack, IDK if there is a fix or a work around.
i did a whole lot of looking around again trying to get the gamepad to work with the tp2
i found a thread somewhere that had a bgp100 driver 0.9 written by a certain larry bank for bitbank software.9 i had to pair the gamepad to the tp2 first. open the progy and tell it which serial port to use (com2). it works great, well almost. the d-pad and start button work great. all the other action buttons all map to the same hex value. thats where i get stuck... any ideas? i hope this helps yall... i made it this far so it works with the stack or larry bank figured something out... good luck to all of you.

I read somewhere that the HD2 supports bluetooth keyboards. Does anyone know if it's the same with the EVO?
Maybe, I hope so because I intend on testing it with an apple wireless keyboard
Not natively, but it should work with third party driver/apps like KeyPro.
Sweet I have my Apple Keyboard and Mouse.
I have heard a rumor that the Incredible does not support BlueInput (because of an older BT stack implemented by HTC) like-wise the EVO. I would be unhappy given the lack of a physical keyboard on the phone.

That was the same error I was getting on my Sprint Hero, but the KeyPro guys made a version of the drivers that worked anyway. I think they can do the same if the EVO has the same issue.

Unfortunately it may be more OS related than a BlueInput problem.. Either way it would appear we arent getting HID anytime soon.

Mmm, so that explains why Wiimote Controller does not work on "devices running Sense"
FYI, using a beta version of KeyPro I was able to connect my Freedom Universal Keyboard 2 to the EVO, but the keyboard mappings were off. I've contacted the developer of KeyPro (who has been very responsive to tweaking the app for Sprint Hero support), I'm pretty sure this is something they can resolve.
Will report back...
My bad, I forgot to change the keyboard type in the KeyPro options - it works GREAT with the EVO!
Good stuff! Thanks for the notice!

It's a pretty nice keyboard. http://www.freedominput.com/technical-support/technical-support/universal-keyboards
I should note, it provides for good text entry and some hotkey functions, but it seems that much of Android's interface isn't accessible via these kinds of devices. You are still going to have to poke at your screen to do some things. Bluetooth mouse support would make this a bit easier...
I use the v-tech virtual keyboard via KeyPro. Works quite well.

What did you do that I can't figure out?
I've spent the best part of 8 hours trying to get my Freedom Universal 2 keyboard to connect using Keypro. The developer said not to bother purchasing the key if I couldn't get the keyboard working without it. Were you able to get it working on the trial version? Or did you have to purchase the key? I've managed to get the keyboard paired but not connected. Thanks for any tips / pointers.
Are you using the beta version from the keypro forum? The one they cooked up for the hero works for me. Which ROM are you running, and what are the symptoms of your connection problem?
The version I've been trying to get working is Keypro 2.00.08 trial.
Android version 2.2
The phone appears to pair with the keyboard when the keyboard is set to SPP, but not in HID, but they never actually connect. I've not yet been able to use the keyboard or assign shortcuts using Keypro. Thanks.
I was counting on using my think outside Serria full size folding bluetooth to work, ltd proving tto be difficult so far.
This was and perhaps is one of best keyboards but it don't matter if it doesn't even connect
Any one have an approach they could suggest?

I recently purchased the Freedom Pro keyboard from Amazon. I figured if I could not get it to work, I could send it back to Amazon. I originally tried to use the keypro apk, but was unsuccessful. Then I downloaded the android driver from the Keyboard site, that also would connect, but not pair. I then downloaded the instruction manual and followed their directions. Still no success. Then I got the bright idea of shutting down the phone, and then trying to pair my Evo to the keyboard. Success!!!! You click on the connected part of the driver software (read the installation manual) and this time it connected. There is an area on the driver you can use to check and see if you are connected. My Evo is unrooted (since 2.2). This has replaced my laptop for on-the-go business related work.
After pairing, it said that it is paired but not connect
I have tried some different ROMs and i found that only the CM7 supports the wireless keyboard, but i really like the Sense UI.
btw, i have tried all the apps on the market that may help to use such a HID, none of them works. and i found that here(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715913) they gave a solution for Desire, i also do that since i think the android of these two are similar, it still not works.
Would be nice yes...! never tried pairing a keyboard though...

hi any luck withe the keyboard
Have not paired any keyboard yet. But I did pair a mouse on the ICS ROM by Lord.
It works amazingly with on-screen pointer.
Also the sense ROMs may not support bluetooth KeyBoard because HTC's Bluetooth stack doesn't support them.
In Cyanogenmod you can flawlessy pair with a Bluetooth Keyboard, I use one of those mini-keyboards daily, it's awesome
