PS3 keyboard on HD2 - HD2 General

I had my PS3 keyboard working great on my topaz( same bt as HD2?). I was using an energy rom and I had to install BT_HID.cab file and it paired and worked great is was handy as hell. I could play galaga, Dial the phone from across the room, using ear peice, texting was wonderful,etc. All new roms I try on my hd2 (energy, kumar, mirri, elgoncia) non will allow paring of keypad.
The phone sees the keypad, starts to pair , the phone gives me a number to type in the keypad and the keypad leaves paring mode and an error occurs. I tried the bt_hid.cab file on all roms and still no luck. If I had it workind my HD2 would be perfect for me. I want to know if the bt from my topaz can be put on my HD2? or maybe the bluetooth manager? Any help would be greatly appreciated, and it doesnt seem to difficult because topaz and hd2 have same similar bluetooth stack and software if I am correct. It seems a lot of people would like this fixed or patched. I am going to write down what version of what works on topaz and start there. Please help me OBi Wan HaHA

Not sure if this will help you , but other BT keyboards do work on the HD2 so, do not think it is actually an HID driver issue, I use an apple BT keyboard, and a Logitech DiNovo, both work very well ... I had one issue with the keyboard that was very close to what you see with yours, I took the batteries out of the keyboard overnight, it paired the next morning without a problem ....
Might help, might not ....

thanks
Thanks for the input. Tell me why there is a great number of people wanting tekosoft to adapt to broadcomm for Hd2 . Loads of people waiting for someting that worked great on my topaz. I have tried the reset button on the keypad. The phone spits out a 5 digit code and the pairing lights on keypad go out. I have tried lots of options. The bluetooth manager looks very different on hd2 than it does on topaz. Since the hd2 sees the keypad it seems like it might be easy fix since I have both phones to tinker with. What rom are you using?

Has anyone made any progress on this i would love to get this working on my hd2

if it pairs the same as the ps3 controller, this might be a workaround:

Bluetooth and MSVC

I am in the process of moving from a TP to a TP2, and am configuring the latter, however (and I have seen this problem elsewhere regarding this phone) I cannot get my bluetooth headset to play nice with MSVC. Specifically the button to initiate the call.
I have tried the steps listed by bengalih and all should work. From what I have read, they are using a different bluetooth stack for the TP2 which is the issue.
So I have a few questions.
1. Has anyone got the headset button to activate MSVC successfully?
2. Is there a way to change the bluetooth stack without changing the ROM
3. will changing the ROM fix this? Any way I can tell which ROMS will have a working bluetooth stack?
I have Vodafone UK branded model.
This is I think the last thing that I need to make the phone 'functional' for my daily use, and so would be really grateful for any advice.

1. Yes, with certain headsets that will allow a verrry loooong press without turning off.
2. I suppose it's theoretically possible, but I do not know for sure.
3. Yes. Some of the cooked roms work fine with MSVC and bluetooth headsets on the TP2.
Could you give examples of the cooked roms that work?
Cheers

any trick or hack we can borrow from "bt-MSVCworking roms" and transplant in stock roms? maybe a skilled dev might try to do something.... PLEASE guys!

NRGs Genesis ROM works for me. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=553506

Flashing now and will confirm experience with my two headsets shortly.
EDIT:
Only had time to test the specific problem identified at the start - both headsets work fine now. Hurrah. I do not know the specifics behind why, or if this will apply to all 6.5 based roms. But for anyone desperately seeking a resolution the headset initiation of MSVC, using the ROM above does fix it. And so far the NRG ROM does seem good.

I currently use EnergyROM version 20090822 (Titanium) with MSVC 1.6.21040.
Thanks to those above for their help.
thank you for the contribution, but for who is keeping stock rom, any possible solution??? I would sell my soul for this...
A "stand alone solution" for Touch Pro2s with an original ROM would be great. Possibly one of the ROM cookers can extract it for us.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Klaus
that would be really appreciated!!!
Got it to work, but...........
Hi I have a TP2 with MSVC installed. I got it to work by editing the regsitry and swapping SDDialer.exe with voicecmd.exe. It works great. I press the button on my bluetooth headset and MSVC is invoked.
The only problem is that the voice commaned that i say has to go through the TP2 microphone not the bluetooth headset microphone. Any one knows how to direct the audio input to the headset microphone???
I am using Miri cooked ROM 23017 with manila v2.5

this bluetooth activation is a real bugger!! does the audio from VC go to the device loudspeaker, or BT headset? that would be a beginning, somehow...
any luck with cyberon voice commander yet?

Well I have the Voda version of the TP2 and I also have a spare to play with (I cracked the screen on my first one and got a new one but they never asked for the old one back - it works fine) so I loaded the EnergyROM from a link elsewhere on this thread on to it. My bluetooth headset does not work with the Cyberon Voice speed dial program which I prefer - although this ROM does alow you to put all sounds through the headset. It worked fine on my old TyTn from Voda. Like you said, this is a real bu**er!

mmmh I'm becoming more and more obsessed with this. I googled everywhere but found anything... someone reports msvc and cvc as working, someone else not.. but nobody says it's working from BT headset... blame on htc that forgot such an important thing!

It's all true
I understand that on the Telus ROM MSVC works with Bluetooth out the box
MSVC and CVC do work, UNLESS you want to use Bluetooth, when they don't (with stock ROMS in the EU) ;-)
I'm using MSVC on NRGs Genesis ROM and it works from Bluetooth as it should. If I get a Chance I'll install CVC and give it a try and report back.
Gordon
it would be nice if someone can mange to transplant needed files... I like the bluetooth stack on TP2, really better than usual, but this thing needs more attention from HTC and the 3rd party developers.
msvc is 3 years old as of now, no newer versions, same as cvc... too bad, technology evolved a lot it 3 years, and these programs might improve really really much!! especially the recognition algorythm, and functions.
well, I hope the new wm6.5 will bring some BT improvements for TP2 then...do not want to stick with custom roms yet. keeping my fingers crossed!
should you manage to try, let us know about cvc and make a little comparison for us! you lucky! ;-)
cheers
I´m usign Smaberg´s Touch X "HERO" EDITION and VC works just fine.

As my touch screen has died I am without a TP2, so I can't do this for the moment
Gordon
I've had this problem sometimes on my VZW CDMA Touch Pro 2. my solution has been to turn off the headset and turn it back on. It seems the problem starts for me when I have the headset on when rebooting the phone. Possibly MSVC doesn't detect the presence of the headset or something to that effect.

Bluetooth not working WM6.5

I have 2 TP2 both with Vodafone UK WM6.5 stock ROMs.
Have just tried to send pictures between them but get the message "Device does not support a suitable service to perform this operation"
I can send to an old sony but when i paired the TP2s it didnt give me the option to transfer filec for some reason?
Any one know if there is a solution or if this is something i will not be able to get round?
I'm also having all sorts of crap with bluetooth from connecting and not connecting to having to disable and enable all the time to get it to work again.
Havnt got it to work at all, never had a problem with WM6.5. strange they see each other but wont send and recieve
I have a bluetooth function in my Volvo. Worked as a charm with the O2 Live of my wife and my HTC TP.
Since I have the TP2, I can't get it to work. Tried to pair them from both sides and everything seems to work, until I want to call or get a call...
On dashboard screen I can scroll my contacts, but when it comes to call, I see the calling and connecting, but NO sound!!!
Quite frustrating, as I drive alot around.
Had this with the WM6.1 and hoped this would be resolved with the 6.5 (changing back to the original MS BT stack), but no...
Anybody fresh ideas or work-arounds?
Just spoke to HTC, they are unaware of any problems but he is going to get a couple of phones to try them out then get back to me so hopfully there will be a solution soon?
I am having a similar problem with the ATT Tilt2 version and my 2005 TL. Everything connects just fine, but if I try to make a call it just disconnects. If I delete and re-pair the phone it will work until I leave the car. Sometimes rebooting the phone also makes it work. I seem to remember an issue with my Kaiser early on and HTC put our a BT update. I have also reported this to HTC via the web form but haven't heard back yet.
Same here, was able to receive files from an i900 Omnia but wasn't able to send files to this i900 Omnia! Really strange!
Havnt heard back yet but have also just noticed other devices can not find TP2 even though i can find them.
Have made sure my device is visible and all bluetooth is on, trouble is i dont know anyone else with this phone to compare but as i have 2 bought months apart and they act the same im asuming its a fault with software and hoping theres a fix?
My problem is a little different, if I try to use activesync through bluetooth, my headset disconnects, which is pretty stupid.
I really wonder why the hell did they change the bluetooth stack from microsoft, giving us a fancy bluetooth manager interface but crappy performance / less features.
Any ideas or fixes? Cant seem to find any
I found the issue with mine... for whatever reason the BT while showing connected will not place a call while the phone is locked. I always lock my phone so I don't make calls and create bogus contacts in my pockets. I had Wn6.5 on my 2 yr old Tilt (TyTn II) and this wasn't an issue, nor was it with 6.0 and 6.1...
Anyone experienced this or know how to disable?
igo keyboard and mouse
tilt 2 bluetooth conectivity would allow igo keyboard and mouse connect to it software, cant get them to work.
any sugestions
It's not a good sign that Jet Blue doesn't work with the TP2 bluetooth stack.
any one off u have have tomtom installed if u do that can be the prob i have a tilt2 and with tomtom installed i coulnt use bluetooth take a look at a fix i made just incase that is ur problem

Rom with microsoft bluetooth stack??

Is anyone cooking a rom for the T-mobile HD2 that uses the Microsoft bluetooth stack instead of widcomm. I am looking to see if Microsoft Voioce Command will work properly with this stack.
yes. it would be nice to use my by keyboard and mouse again. LOL.
Subscribing to this thread, too...
Very Unhappy
I could not wait for the HD2 to be released on Tmobile. I have been with them for almost 9 years. I thought finally I can use their 3G network with the HD2. The last thing I expected was for the basic functions of the phone to not work. The phone does so much and is very advanced yet the basic bluetooth functions have been left out. I have spoken with both Tmobile and higher level support at HTC and honestly neither is going to do anything about the bluetooth support on this phone.
Well, if this is true, then it's becoming more and more clear that this is not something they just forgot to integrate - they omitted it on purpose, like the second camera (the second big fauxpas for a "high end phone"!), in order to have something left they can put into HD3 which makes people buy a new device...
I'm still wondering about the roms though - on PC I used to fight with BT stacks years ago. But it as always possible to install a different one, no matter what BT dongle I was using. Is it definitely impossible to create a rom with another stack? Is the stack somehow hard coded into the hardware?

Great question...I'm hoping there is an answer.
This would be so great if anyone could make my bt mouse running again on HD2. May be there could be a sourgeforce app or a MS BT stack cracked HD2-Rom.
If I only could use my BT mouse on HD2, may be in 2012 on WM8? Would be so nice for RDP, Virtual Machines, Gaming...
Someone tried on HD2 android with blueinput? Cannot get my BT working Android Running since my new Radio semms not to fit, will test later... I changed the BT working Android to the Phone working Android that is running fine on new Radio...

Bluetooth causes phone to crash

I tried different roms curently using hyperdroid/ Miri with no success the phone always crashes when i pair/connect my bluetooth and try to make call. I followed directions of a poster to pair/connect and unpair and reboot. It worked once and then same problem again.
I want to use android on a regular basis but cant use it without bluetooth. Can anyone help ? Thank you !! I searched this forum and on the web for a while before posting this. If you have a solution please help.

Try different kernels. I've found that even though I continue to use the same build (ShubCRAFT 1.5), when I swap kernels I get differing results with the BT headset.
Media Audio tends to work whatever, I've had no problems with that, but phone audio is a different matter.
I've been using michyprima's r11 kernel lately (noAXI) and that seems to just about work but I do have to make a call and press the Bluetooth button immediately initially to get it to work.
Even then, it's flaky, as when the phone rings and I press the answer button on my BT headset, it brings up the Voice Dialer dialog over the top of the phone app and doesn't answer the call. I've resorted to only connecting BT to media and not using it for the phone.
I appreciate that doesn't solve your problems - I've simply decided to try each and every kernel until it's fixed! I'm sure the wonderful devs here will get round to fixing it soon but I think they've probably got other things higher up on the priority list right now!
I'm using a Sony Ericsson MW600 BT headset btw.
hello sorry for my English
my jabra bt hyperdroid on 1.2 works, but sometimes there is more sound for the march to re-I does not restart it by pressing the restart button, but I removed the battery!
For me works like that
success
I forgot to tell you that I deactivated the sound of media

[Q] Is there anyway to use bluetooth HID keyboard on HD2 android

Dear all,
Is there anyway to use bluetooth HID keyboard in HD2 android?
I found similar issue mentioned under nexus one thread.
http://i-miss-erin.blogspot.com/2009/09/connect-bluetooth-keyboard-in-android.html
tried it, but it doesn't work.
I also tried some 3rd parties software from market. All doesn't seems to work for me as well.
eg.
bluekeyboard jp
Blueinput demo
but without luck.
I am using freedom i-connex bluetooth keyboard.
Anyone facing the same problem? would be grateful if there are solution to it.
thanks!
I am surprise that no one else is using bluetooth keyboard to connect to HD2 android.
Please guide on how to get it done. Thanks.
Hi there. I did some research and found that Android builds with Cyanogen mod will allow you to use a Bluetooth keyboard.
To test this out, I went ahead and bought three BT keyboards from Fry's Electronics (Microsoft Mobile Bluetooth Keyboard 6000, Logitech diNovo Edge, and Apple Bluetooth Keyboard). I wasn't able to get any of them to successfully pair up and connect with my HD2 (running Android - MDJ Froyo Sense Revolution v.1.5 build). I keep getting a "Disconnected" message when I tried typing. After changing the build to Hyperdroid v.1.7 (which has Cyanogen Mod), I found that everyone of the BT keyboards that I bought worked. Also, Blue Input is better than Blue Keyboard JP for most of the BT keyboards. The input response is very slow/choppy with Blue Keyboard JP.
I haven't tried the other builds with Cyanogen mod yet, but I'm guessing that they support BT keyboards as well.
Hope this helps.
Only Hyperdroid 1.7 works. I've tried other Cyanogenmod_builds
My keyboard Geyes by name, Gey by nature. Advertised as WM6.5 AND Android SPP.. No it bloody well isn't..
Anyway after more hours than I care to mention. Here's my results
- NexusHD2-FRG83D_V1.8_(Froyo 2.2.1) - NO won't pair/work
- Ginger_hd2_v1.2 - Connects and pairs but still can't type a thing. (really like this build too. Big buttons/icons AND FM Radio)
- HD2ONE-0.3.4a OR B - a I can't get it to build on my hd2 B.... Connects/pairs but as above. Including the really like (FM radio, too)
- MDJ_FroYo_Streak_v.0.4_RAM_Edition - Don't remember it pairing, nor connecting and therefore it certainly didn't work... FM on this one, (haven't tried the Dec 16 build)
- Biffmod-hd2-v-1-3-1 - No pair, no connect, no woman no cry.. Cyan 6.0 not 6.1 this one...
No luck with either
bluekeyboard jp (constantly dis/connects)
or
Blueinput demo (same realm of won't pair, so cannot use it)
HyperDroid1.7.......... smaller icons/buttons no FM Radio But yes!! I type in bought quickoffice numbers and letters.. haven't quite worked out Fn keys yet.
It's a yes though....It does work.
The Holy Grail would be to combine builds. FM Radio bigger buttons.. Nope, I don't know how to do that.. Very reluctant to mess anymore. Nearly driven me mental this has... Somehow it would mean extracting the BT files from Hyperdroid1.7 and putting them into one of the others HD2ONE, perhaps?
same problem here, paired/Connected, but i get nothing when i type.
and when i type hciconfig, it shows that HD2 is actually receiving data from my BT keyboard, even blueinput can make a sound when i press keyboard
is there a solution? bcz this is driving me crazy...
Did Hyperdroid work for you? This is straight out of the box, with none of the other 3rd party services.
I haven't tried any of the 3rd party stuff with other builds where the keyboard does connect and pair, but where the keyboard doesn't actually work.
YES, HyperdroidV1.7 DOES work, with no 3rd party software, and this might be the only one I know that works, but still, Fn, Caps and some keys won't work.
I don't like the layout of Hyperdroid, the icons and fonts are too small, and the latest version of psx4Droid won't work in full screen mode, but Nesoid works perfectly well, that's for sure
what I want most is that I can directly use bluez in darkstone's SuperRAM v1.5 to connect to my BTKB, no 3rd party software, but as I say, I get nothing :-(
I figured this might be some kind of bluetooth configuration problem, bcz other android devices like nexus one, EVO, Dell Streak DO work(maybe not perfectly well)
BTW, my BTKB is iPazzPort
I've learned that for Freedom Pro Keyboard, there is an official driver to install before you can use it under android, here is the link:
www.simplemobilereview.com/step-by-step-freedom-pro-keyboard-setup-with-android
I don't know if this works for freedom i-connex BTKB as well, and havn't test it on other BTKB.
I found a solution for blueinput, and get it WORKED under other biluds !!
here is the link:
www.teksoftco.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=2590
seems that I didn't quite understand how to use this tiny software before...
and again, the keyboard won't respond when I use Nesoid, which works perfectly well in HyperDroid, but u can type text though.
so, if I use bluez utility, the connection seems ok, the problem lies in the selection of the right keyboard, and how to switch to the right keyboard? I tried install other input method like google, but it won't help :-(
Yes, exactly my point. I've seen that Superfast Rom version and tried it. Yes, it's very fact.
I share your issues with the hyperdroid1.7 version. Smaller buttons, no FM and it's just not as slick as some of the others (HD2ONE and the Ginger_hd one.
I did find some BT files in hyperdroid, some .so files and copied them across. That didn't work though, I don't know what I'm doing. I only chose those because they seemed to be BT files.
It might be time to email 'Pongster' the guy who appears to have put Hyperdroid together from other builds. Nobody responded to me in that thread. I'm a bit reluctant to PM though, it seems to be bad form to me. It's just that we're so close. If we could identify which files it is and simply copy them across then we could ? amend any build..
Do you know of any other 3rd party BT programs? Although, to be honest I'm sick of fiddling (not sure it ever ends with this sort of things though).
Bluetooth HID list of builds that work + Dev HID Question
Status on SD builds in which BT works - Hyperdroid 1.7 and all 3 of Shubcrafts builds.
NO OTHERS to DATE (I've tried 13 Cyanogenmod builds)
Issue- Why do some builds work and not others?
Speculation - It must be some .so files, build.prob and or rootsfs
I've tried copying all the BT files I can find from Root/system (in the builds in which it's accessible and I've updated the build.prop Tried to get Ginger_HD, Nexus, HD2ONE, phiremod_SkinnyEvo_Final and Biffmod-hd2-v-1-3-1 to work. No luck.
Why is it that some Cyanogenmod_builds work and other don't (some don't pair, some do pair but you still can't type anything with the connected BT keyboard) at all.
If the files., issue can be identified then couldn't they be put into the (one so far) NAND Cyanogenmod build?
