Hi all
I'm getting the HD2 next week
I have been using my Thinkoutside BT keyboard and BT mouse with earlier phones (Atom). However they do not work with my current phone (HD).
Can someone tell me whether the keyboard and mouse will work with the HD2? If so, how is it done.
Thanks
ThinkOutside keyboard and mouse
keyboard worked OK. mouse didn't. Interesting message from the HD2

So, we cannot connect bluetooth mouse on HD2? Any solution?!
Teksoft are working on modifying their BT stack to work with Broadcom. When they get it working you will be able to fully use your mouse and keyboard with both the HD and HD2.

That's good news! Hope will release soon..
Hi
I refer to your post of July 2006 re bt mouse working on HD2. Is there any update on this? In case any link is available, please do let me know.
Cheers
Hi again. Sorry, that should read: post of December 15th, (not July 2006!!).
hi
I look also for a solution, to use my bluetooth mouse with my hd2, is it posible to use another bluetooth stack with the hd2
BT keyboard and mouse for HD2
Hi all
Any update on Teksoft working on the Broadcom BT stack to enable use of Thinkoutside BT keyboard and mouse with Leo?
Cheers
Can we work togheter to get this?
I think it would be really great if we can add keyboard and mouse support to hd2 a day.
Think about use internet through an amazing little pc! Maybe hd2 could become the smallest netbook on the market!
What can we try?
I am really impatient it finds a resolution.
thinking about wireless I had in mind to use BT.
What if we look for WiFi? Or USB as host?

yes it could be great but the problem is that someone explained that bluetooth driver is not fully compatible with mouses... so if I understood well keyboard can be used but mouse no!
From what I remember my BT mouse worked fine with my HD2 but I need to test that again to be sure.

please can you test it again and say what mouse model you used? also did you try to use keyboard and mouse at the same time?
Hi,
I can confirm that my stowaway (or DELL) bluetooth keyboard works with the HD2, but I have not found a driver for the German keyboard layout. Any ideas?

I think about some registry tweak. Try to look at it also on the forum.
Sometimes when you flash WWE roms on a GER/ITA/... keyboard there can be keyboard layout problems. Some time ago I found the how to map the right keyboard here on xda.
Nice

Hi,
So I have been looking for information on which bluetooth mice work with the samsung vibrant. I currently have an apple bluetooth keyboard working well with the vibrant, but I'd love to have a mouse as well.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
EDIT: Here is a video of a guy using a bluetooth keyboard and mouse with his vibrant: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21aVbYpgrRA - so how do we do it with a mouse and pointer?
EDIT:His XDA post can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8447646

Don't think this would work - there's no on-screen cursor.
Ditto. I remember Cyanogen added it as a feature not too many revisions back, so it isn't part of AOSP. Unless Samsung choose to add it... You can see where that is going.
So this is a video I saw a while back of a guy using a bluetooth keyboard AND MOUSE on his Vibrant. I'd like to do the same. How do I do it, and what mice will work? I know you two said that it can't be done, but this is proof otherwise.

I suggest you contact him. He mentions using a leaked build, so it definitely isn't a mainstream feature yet.
edit .. Bluetooth HID is a standard, so all you really need to do is figure out what build he found it in and any bluetooth mouse should work.
Okay, so I found his XDA post under the i9000 section.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8447646
mouse definitely works.. i use Apple's Mighty Mouse (pass: 0000) wireless without a problem... the scroll wheel works as the ones on the older HTC models...
As above states, can anyone confirm this? I just returned the Verizon version because it's Bluetooth is locked down. I called a T-mobile corporate store but they could not confirm.
Thanks.
Good news!
I am typing this using Apple Bloetooth keyboard on Tmo Samsung Galaxy Tab. The keyboard model No is 1016.
You will need to scan for devices from the Tab and then enter pairing code using BT keyboard.
All arrows and number keys are operational. It is very unusual to work this way however very comfortable when need a lot of typing.

I'm getting one! I have the at&t version so I will confirm if it works!
I am typing this on a mini wireless Mac BT keyboard. It is nice! Confirmed!
Awesome! Im picking up an apple bt keyboard tommorow. I have t-mobile sgt.

Do you have the mouse with the little scroll ball? I'm trying to figure out if the scroll ball actually works like in the browser.
I have tested the Apple Trackpad and it works fine, its just not the best choice for the tab. The Apple keyboard does worm but I always have trouble pairing it up. I have to literally try 10 times before it will actually connect.
From the Tab.

The model you suggested has issues pairing, but the mini wireless BT does it very quickly. The arrow keys let me move to the buttons below the text input area. I am not sure I will need a mouse. The size of this keyboard makes me think I will take it with me when I travel. I am thinking about a stand for the tab now.
I am using the Apple BT keyboard model A1255 and it works perfectly.
I agree that pairing it was a little complicated, I was not sure what the meaning of the green flashing light on the keyboard was. I was not sure if the keyboard was in pairing mode or not.
But once it was paired, it picks up very quickly and works without fail.
I have the A1314 model
Im glad I read this... I was not aware that the arrow buttons could be used to navigate.
I use Handcent for texting, and was not able to get over to the "send" button. Now after entering the text, I can right arrow over to the send button and hit enter!
Thank you!
Post any button finds here. I'm liking the keyboard for long writing sessions.
I thought I would start a thread for what works and does not for bluetooth.
My A500 connects and works perfectly with:
Sony headphones model DR-BT21G
Freedom Pro keyboard set to HID - no special driver needed
Think Outside folding Keyboard - this is no longer on the market
My wii controller using wiimote controller and pce.emu from android market.
Wiimote controller lets me play with all the tiger emus and pce.emu has native wiimote support.

Why no one seems to be annoyed by this bright spot in the right of the screen??
It is only noticeable in bright colored backgrounds (white, light blue etc), but it completely goes away on dark backgrounds and you cant notice it at all.

I ve seen this issue on every device i ever hold in my hands (demo display devices o9n stores), including my own.
I have started a thread about this some days ago : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1077527&highlight=light+bleeding , but there seems to be only few ppl worried about this..
So i wonder, does everyone else suck it up and live with it?? Maybe you havent noticed it yet?? Maybe its not so bad on your device ?? Maybe you dont have it at all ??
As far as i m concerned it really pisses me off when i look at this spot on a white background !!!
Sony DR-BT100CX Bluetooth headphones working great, incl. player controls (pause/play, FF, RW). I haven't tried the headset's microphone, but suspect it might not work yet based the user manual:
user manual said:
Note: Only A2DP stereo headsets (without microphone) are supported.
Please check for updates to the tablet's software which may add support for
additional Bluetooth devices.

The Palm Wireless Keyboard (3245WW) works perfectly. Saw no reason to buy a different one when I had this one laying around collecting dust. You can still find them used and a rare few that are new. I'm pretty sure this is just a Think Outside keyboard with the Palm brand on it.
I have also gotten the Wii Remote working well with a Nintendo 64 emulator. I'm using WiiMote Control and N64oid.
I'll be following this thread because I'm looking to get some wireless headphones.

Dude! Thanks for ruining my tablet for me! I hadn't notice this white spot at all...!
Targus Bluetooth keyboard for iPad
So far, I'm liking this keyboard. A few of the buttons are marked a bit oddly for Android, but overall, I really just wanted the basics. A few of the specialty keys work well - magnifier bring up search, volume keys work, arrows scroll and pan...
So, yeah..not too bad and pretty low profile as well. Operates off two AAA batteries Paired very easily. Occasionally after a long period of not being used, I have to turn it off and on again, but it reconnects Very Quickly.
Very Happy until the next one that's perfect comes along.

my jaybird bluetooth headphones work great.
Qstarz BT-q818 bluetooth GPS unit.
I use my tab as a moving map in the airplane where the tab doesn't have a clear view of the sky. the BT GPS has a 42 hour rechargeable battery and works quite well. Download the Bluetooth GPS App from the market and enable Mock Locations to get it to work.

The Logitech keyboard for tablets works great!
I got mine at Best Buy - they did not have the "Android" model but the one for iPad is the same product.
Anyone running a bluetooth keyboard with their n10? I just bought the amazonbasics one (the iOS layout one because it has the function key row that the Android one did not). I'm having an issue where the keys are repeating. It seems to be tied to wifi, which follows what I've read elsewhere with other android tablets. I also have a bluetooth mouse attached. At one point I even got wifi and bluetooth to both completely disconnect for a few seconds. It seems like there is some sort of interference. I heard that there were a lot of complaints of the kindle fire doing this but a recent software update seems to have fixed it for them.
Any ideas?
So, it appears that the issue comes down to using a bluetooth keyboard and mouse together. I've tried two bluetooth mice with the same results. If I instead use a Microsoft Wireless 4000 mouse with usb dongle, I no longer have the issue.
Anyone else run into this before?

Try grabbing an app called external keyboard helper pro. I think there is also a free version. I read about tthis problem at some point, can't remember where now. Nexus 7 forum maybe, and someone posted saying that this app fixed the problem. I have been using it and no problems but I don't use my mouse all that often so I am not making promises

I have the AmazonBasics Android version. Although it sounds like you've isolated the repeating chars to the mouse, fwiw, I haven't seen this problem.
What I haven't tracked down is a complete list of keyboard shortcuts. The ones I've found on web and forum searches don't seem right for this keyboard with the N10. Any ideas?
I use a kensington bt kb with bornd bt mouse w motorocker headset.
all work smooth.. at first I thought they wernt pairing coz I was clicking it and it would say making device available ... but thats not what you hit... theres a little thing in the upper right corner of the settings page on bt that tells it to search for devices....
im amazed at how little the battery drains when using all three

Hmm, but it does go through the whole pairing process where it asks you to type a number on the physical keyboard itself and press ENTER on the keyboard?

ok, just for the record, i have the Motorola keyboard with track pad and apparently it uses the bluez bluetooth stack which has been dropped in Android from version 4.2 on
too bad
I am having the same issue while using both bluetooth mouse and keyboard. Individually, they both work flawlessly but only when both connected, wierd things started happenning. I'm using the Logitech K810 and a lenovo N6901 mouse.
After looking around for a bit, this doesn't seem like a new issue, namely BT keyboard and mouse don't play nice with each other. Does anyone know the underlying problem or even a solution? (I thought it was interference at first)
Wifi
+ Logitech Bluetooth Illuminated Keyboard K810
+ Logitech Bluetooth Ultrathin Mouse T630
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (Android 4.1.2) - FAIL
Nexus 7 (Android 4.3 and 4.4) - FAIL
Sony Xperia Z (Android 4.2.2) - SUCCESS
All works well when it is just keyboard or mouse alone.
Maybe the Japanese are better hardware engineers than the Koreans or Taiwanese? :cyclops:
Microsoft Wedge BT keyboard
Bornd (mid-tier mail order) BT mouse
WiFi running
Works OK on 4.3. Cursor was jerky when I (briefly) had 4.4 installed (I've gone back to 4.3). I use the External Keyboard Helper program to remap some of the function keys for Android.
This doesn't address the OP's problem, but I do find that I have to turn on the mouse *before* turning on the keyboard, otherwise the mouse won't connect.
