hi!
well, neither my Stowaway bluetooth keyboard, nor Resco Explorer can use Bluetooth on the HD2. For resco there is the Irda/Obex workaround, the keyboard can be used as a regular HID keyboard.
But the latter has the problem that I can not use the specific layout of my keyboard, where the stowaway driver would allow that, but doens't recognize the stack.
any idea how to resolve this?
is it possible to install another bluetooth stack?
is it possible to use a differend keymap for HID keyboards?
thanks
Bernhard
That's strange. My Stowaway Bluetooth keyboard paired straight away and everything works except for the function keys that required additional software.
What happens when you try to pair it?
it does work, but I have a german keyboard, german keyboards have a different layout.
if I could use Stowaways software (that doesn't work with the HD2s bluetooth stack) I could switch to the german stowaway layout.
but if I just pair them, windows mobile uses the US layout, and thus a lot of keys simply don't work or produce wront chars (like if you set your PC keyboard layout to German, the same would happen but the other way round).
so, there would be two solutions:
change the keyboard layout for the HID device
make the stowaway software work on the HD2
;(
hi,
i tried a freedom universal keyboard2, with the same result. the keyboard software dosent work on hd2, and when i pair it via bt, i get a english layout.
i poked around the registry and found the entry HKLM\Drivers\HID\ClientDrivers\Keyboard\DLL. i think the kbdhid.dll is the one wich is responsable for the key mapping. but i'm not sure about that.
regards mad.
I am having the same issue with my German iGo Stowaway keyboard and the Touch Pro 2 (running a wm 6.5.3 ROM). Did you already find any solution to that?

I was curious to find out if it's possible to use a bluetooth mouse from Belkin in the XDA II. What do you guys think? Useable, hackable?
You would need some software that makes a cursor, and some HID implementation, and make all this work together..
My only question is: WHY?
Why would you want such a thing?
I tried it with a MS Mouse, MDA can find it, but no connect , lack of Pin.
Mouse is a HID Device, think thinl MDA cannot connect to such devices.
I tried to use the mouse as a ramotecontrol for the PDA, but found no way.
what is HID? also what is SIP?
HID == human interface device
sip not sure i cant see anywhere in this thread where sip is written
so in what relation was it you heard sip
i mean if it was something your dentist said it would prob have a different meaning than if it was your machanic

SIP = Soft Input Panel ie. onscreen keyboard

When taking notes with the folding keyboard, it is quite an inconvenience to pick up the stylus, hop over to look up something, then go back to taking notes. a mouse next to the keyboard would make life much easier.
I also have the MS BT Mouse and would love a HID profile for the MDAII

OK OK!
Now you have a BT mouse meant for your PPC from THINK OUTSIDE, here:-

I'll get a pre-sample this weekend.
I'll try to make a short-review of this. And post it for you guys.
cool, now all we need is a bluetooth USB host hub and we're sorted! 8) lol

I would want it because I have gota Bluetooth keyboard which means I can word process when out and about when needs be - but the use of a proper mouse would make this a lot easier - after all - if my hands are on the keyboard, I don't want to be constanty getting the stylus or using the buttons as I am no longer holding the device.

Can anyone tell me if this works before I jump in. I have an MDAIII and I havent' upgraded the rom at all. I have tried not alter anything that may make it worse! I use a BT keyboard and would adore a mouse too
Does enyone has patched version of thinkoutside driver ? For WM5...
Dear Prophet users,
Is there a way to use my nokia 6230 as a bluetooth keypad for my QTEK S200?
On screen keyboard is not useful most of the time.
I'm an expert on my nokia 6230's keyboard.
If it were possible to use it as a bluetooth keyboard for QTEK S200 it would be perfect for me.
And If it is not possible is there a blutooth keypad with 9 key phone key layout which can be used as "phone pad" text entry tool in WM5.0
!! NO BODY?? !!
No body have an idea ??

Can't you use the built in phone pad with your fingers?
Personally, I use Spb Full Screen Keyboard
I've been googling for a bluetooth keypad for a long time. Touch screen keypad is definitely not a good idea, at least for me. I'm on the road most of the time. Used to be able to sms without looking at the screen while driving. Can't do it now. I know I'm not suppose to do that but.... excuse... excuse... excuses....
The closest (but not close enough) is a device called "Frog" something. Can't remember the name. Emailed the distributor in Singapore. They didn't follow thru with my query. Sad....
I have a omz bluetooth keyboard,no wording in dopod 830 too...
No one ??
Actually I have an idea but I'm not a programmer so it is just an idea for me.
There are some software those enable users to connect their PC(server) via Bluetooth (and/or GPRS) enabled mobile phones (client).
There are two parts of the sotfware
1st to be installed on PC and works as server
2nd is a java program to be run on Mobile Phone.
This enables the mobile user to control the PC via mobile phone.
User can use navigation key as mouse and keypad of mobile phone as keyboard of the PC.
If there were a server part for WM 5.0, it would also work for PPC to mobile phone management.
Can anybody have a proramming background to perform this kind of software.
I'm sure it would have so much buyers.
no one ??
isn't there a good programmer to do this application
I think what you're describing there is remote desktop. This is already built into Windows Mobile (5 & 6), and can connect to any PC running XP Pro/Server/Vista. Alternatively you could use a VNC client opn your WM Device (there are a few around) and a VNC server on your PC (again, there are a few variants). Although this sounds like a good idea its pretty fiddly trying to control a whole PC using a touchscreen and an onscreen keyboard, and if you're anyhting like me you'll get sick of it pretty fast and just use a laptop.
As for the PC connecting to the WM device, this can be done using the Remote Display Control Powertoy released by Microsoft a couple of years back. You'll have to google for that one though. If you cant find it give me a buzz and ill post it somewhere.
Hi
Does there exist something like http://www.mulliner.org/bluetooth/xkbdbthid.php for Windows Mobile?
The Windows Remote Desktop client for the Nokia 770 (lovely 800x480 screen!) requires use of an external BT keyboard, and since I already carry my HTC Hermes with me, and the Nokia depends on it for GPRS Internet access, it makes sense to use /it/ as the keyboard. Is this possible?
Google has only turned up physical folding keyboards, or replacements for MS's own on-screen keyboard (for use in WM only)
Cheers,
Gavin.
push!
I'm searching for exactly the same thing, does anybody know something like this?
regards
for now this is the solution which is the closest by far:
anyRemote
otherwise tuxmobil.org has some programs listed, but nothing really compareable to xkbd-bthid. sadly.
Any luck for this software?
I am coming from SE K800i which included a wonderful bluetooth HID remote control that was so much customizible... and having something similar on a WinMo (SE X1) will be great...
it looks like MobileRemote from mobilesrc
anyone know how to get a driver for the TC and the iGO Sierra Bluetooth Keyboard?
you can just pair it as a bt device and it works, but i would like all of the functionality of the shortcut keys etc....
any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
(oops sorry about where i placed this thread, i meant to put it in the accessories forum)
Just browse on the device to the old ThinkOutside.com and you'll be forwarded to a page where you can download a driver.
i wish that were so, but it doesnt work for me.... do you know if any of the other devices listed there are wm6?
Sorry, I should have said: it seems they haven't created a driver for WM6 devices, but the WM5 drivers work perfectly.
Enjoy! (I love my ThinkOutside keyboard. I'm working on my fourth novel, and there's nothing better than being able to go anywhere, unfold my gear out of my pocket, and write away...)
Actually, I spoke too soon: while the keyboard works just fine in TextMaker, I've been finding over the past few days that it skips letters or puts my spaces in in the wrong order when I'm typing in any of the built-in apps. This is without any other applications running and lots of free memory on the device, so I'm not sure what's going wrong.
Anyone have any suggestions?
I bought the Stowaway Bluetooth Keyboard (a.k.a. Dell Axim Executive Keyboard with Wireless Technology. Now, the keymapping seems to be off.. that is, the RFn-2 key produces a "@", while the layout on the keyboard shows quotation marks... I've tried the different Layout Settings, but couldn't find the right one. It seems to be an .kbd file, stored on my memory card. Does anyone have experience in editting such a file? What software should I use? Thnx.
I have the same keyboard, using the last German WM5 driver of the now defunct manufacturer (drivers can still be found on the net). If you install the driver of your language version to the device, not the memory card, all keys should be mapped correctly.
Installed on device, still wrong mappings. Could you provide your .kbd file online? Would that solve the problem?
ps. I found my driver on :
http://support.dell.com/support/dow...1&impid=-1&formatcnt=1&libid=17&fileid=139841
Were did yours come from?
I never had to mess around with a .kbd file, so cannot help you there. Drivers are here:
http://corporate.igo.com/support/Drivers.asp?ManufacturerID=7&ModelID=16
There was ever really only one type of such keyboard, so I guess key is to find the right driver. If not under Dell, try the HTC drivers instead, use the WM5 drivers for the Prophet phone (Version 4.51)
