I use a Freedom Universal Keyboard 2 with my HTC HD2 and word processing, e-mail and text messages, which I find very helpful.
Recently, I flashed the ROM to the latest version. Now, I can no longer get the keyboard (which uses Bluetooth) to pair with the HD2 device: when I try to search for the keyboard, it fails to find it. The batteries on the keyboard are fresh (the green light flashes), and I have tried pressing the "B" button several times to get it to be recognised, all to no avail.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can do about this? It really is a problem for me, as I need to use it to take notes quite often, and not having it makes things very difficult, as I use the HD2 instead of a laptop. Any assistance would be extremely gratefully received!

Hi, I am hoping someone can help me out here as the iphone crowd in my office is laughing pretty hard right now. I love the fuze because of the slide out keyboard, it is much better than the onscreen keyboard of the iphone. However, the fuze slide out keyboard doesn't seem reliable. I can currently only type 1 letter and then the keyboard stops responding. I have soft reset, hard reset, reloaded the latest ROM (NATF 4.3), taken the battery out, etc. I can't get the keyboard to start working again. The only changes I made recently were to connect the fuze to a bluetooth car speaker (motorola MotoRokr T505) and started using aubible heavily. The keyboard stopped working right about this time, I dont' know if it a symptom or a conincidence. Any help is appreciated.
Hi all,
In my Renault BT Car Kit (originally designed by Parrot) it seems to be impossible to access my phone's contacts. I have had it working with one of the earliest Tom Codon ROMs by changing a setting in the advanced settings, bet ever after I have not been able to get it working again.
I have searched the forum several times, but it seems that I am not looking good enough.
The problem is not in my car, since I never changed it's ROM, and my wife's phone (Elf) is working great.
My phone is working great otherwise.
Tanks,
TC.
When you paired the phone with the "car" did you answered Yes to the question where you are asked to allow access to the phone contacts?
Thanks! That would be something hard to overlook , but sadly, there is no such question. Neither from the phone, nor fron the 'car'. The 'car' gives <empty> when accessing names. I have tried copying contacts to the SIM, but that also has the same result.
I have tried many (many! also the original from the provider) different ROMS the past year or so, and all of them have the same 'problem'.
When my wife purchased the Elf, the 'car' allowed it immediately, just as her previous phone (some samsung thing). It is just with the Nike that it has trouble with.
Also the Diamond of my collegue that drives the car every now and then, communicates without hassle.
The stupid this is that it has worked with a previous ROM, and I cannot find (in my memory or the internet) how to activate it again. It's more an annoyment than really really a nessesity (is that a proper word ?). I have also been looking into the advanced configuration of both the Elf and the Nike to spot a difference, but nothing seems available.
I am thinking of calling the 'car' "Christine", and just stop trying, but as a technician, I want to have this working, because it has worked before.
thanks,
T.
I assume that your wife's name is not Christine!
Did you try with WM 6.1 and 6.5, including the original ROM? Did you tried to upgrade the carkit firmware? I am using a Parrot CK-3100LCD carkit but I have no problems with my Niki since the first time I was using it.
The pairing process was started from both sides or only from one side?
No, my wife is not Christine... but Stephen King wrote a book once...
The pairing always starts from both ways, I cannot find 'Christine' from any phone without starting the pairing from both sides.
All different WM versions available for Nike have the same problem. (I have had about 30 different ROMs on my phone, just for the fun of it, only 1 has worked properly after changing 'something' in the advanced settings)
I really have no idea what kind of parrot it is, because it has been re-branded by Renault while integrating it into my Clio. I have for that same reason not tried to upgrade the ROM in 'Christine'.
Strange, very strange what's happening. Did you tried some other radio ROMs?
strange... I know...
I have been on the road for a couple of days, have installed a new ROM prior to leaving, but still the same problem occurs: I can call whomever I like, via the phone itself, and I can answer the phone normally by using the the car's controls.
In the Netherlands it is not allowed to use the phone other then via a carkit, so dialing a number is not really an option here.
I have tried several person's ROMs, also radios (although I have not been able to find a link to the recently used 1.71 version, anyone a link?), and all have the same, except for that once...
thanks!
Did you tried with another Nike (from a friend or coworker) to see what's happens? Do you see (on the car screen) the digits or the name of the callers? Did you tried pairing only from one side? Did you contact Renault for a firmware upgrade of the bluetooth carkit?
A coworker has the same problem with the original ROM in a different car (Volkswagen),
I see only <empty> when accessing the name area from the car,
I have tried pairing on different ways, all with the same result
I have not contacted Renault or Parrot , since ny coworker has the same problem AND it has worked (once) before.
It is just a strange, not really big issue, but I would like to have it out of the way.
Hi @ all,
since a few days i am a proudly HTC Hero owner. Its quite an amazing phone with many features and a steady growing Market.
At the weekend i tried to couple my Hero with my bluetooth handsfree set installed in my car. But what i recognized wasn't so much pleasing: The Hero didn't display the handsfree set in the list of available bluetooth devices.
Before i got the Hero i had a HTC TyTN II aka Kaiser and it worked well with the handsfree set.
Perhaps anybody else have some similar trouble or experience with this and maybe a solution, fortunately. It would be great to keep usage of my handsfree set furthermore.
Thank you and best regards
On handsfree there are some buttons right ? You need to press them in a combination so the handsfree can be detected by your Hero. Just search on the handsfree guide or internet. I cannot help you because I don't have it and don't know the button combination. When you find it go to settings and turn on Bluetooth on your phone. Just search it and connect to it
Hi omokas,
yes, you are right.. but i've done this.
The users guide says you have to press the main button for 1 second. After that you will get a feedback sound and the led gets flashing... so far so good.. everything is fine but the Hero doesn't recognize.
Hopefully there are no different bluetooth protocols or whatever the devices can't communicate.
Have you tried an application from Market ? It may to the job
But if not then your handsfree must be an older version that your Hero can't recognise. Before buying a new one make sure your phone works with other handsfrees.

No, i haven't tried yet. Can you recommend one?
At the moment i'm not able to try an other handsfree. But i've just seen the handsfree is able to store seven pairings... maybe there is the problem.
So i'm going to delete all pairings and give a next try.
Thanks
Yes try that. You could try the application "Bluetooth+Headphones".
Sorry if I am not able to help further but I don't use handsfree because I am 13 and I don't know how to drive.
No Problem... I am appreciate for any Help!
Did you get any results yet? E.g. did the removal of the other pairings work? Or the app from the market?
I'm quite interested in this since I'm still looking into getting the CK-100 build in my car
I am planning on getting that carkit wired up outside of the car, so I can at least give it a try and see if it wants to work. But don't have that much time to give it a try yet, end of next week perhaps...
I have a CK-7W and it works with my Hero (official orange ROM).
It was a bit of a nightmare to get paired in the 1st place, the hero failed to find it but I kept trying and it eventually found it. I think I might have reset the hands free though (pull the power for a few minutes).
The device usually pairs pretty fast, sometimes it takes a min or two but not often.
My only gripes are :
1: some times it doesn't send the audio to the speaker keeping it on phone requiring you to use a menu option to do so.
2: The ring tone isn't the one set on the phone but a generic ringer.
3: Occasionally the phone doesn't disconnect properly when the other end hangs up requiring you to do so manually.
I have a CK-15W car kit
and its fully supported
it even downloads the phonebook very well
ck7w and hero
My hero worked first time! To pair you need to leave ignition off and hold the button in until it beeps, not just a short push as that just turns the car kit on. Once its beeped search for it and then pair using code. As yet I have had none of the problems mentioned here. I hope this helps
I have the same phone (Android 1.5 stock ROM) and the same Nokia CK-7W handsfree set.
For me this works fine. Didn't have to press the button on the handsfree set. Just searched for BT devices and paired.
So, I've had a BGP100 for quite a few years, (Probably at least 5) tucked into a drawer.
I used to use it for my old Ipaq HX4700. As I remember, it was okay, but the emulators available were pretty slow and there was some noticeable lag between button presses. I pulled it out today to see if I could use it on my Touch Pro 2.
The results were... pretty bad. I can get my bluetooth stack to see it, however there don't seem to be any drivers. Supposedly, there are some official drivers and people keep suggesting that I use those, selecting the HTC Magician option on install. Unfortunately, the drivers seem to have disappeared. All I'm finding are broken links.
I then installed the GamepadHD2BlackPanther exe, designed for the HD2, but it crashes almost instantly. Finally, I installed the BGP100 software and that came the closest.
It works for about 2-5 minutes before loosing connection. It keeps popping up the "Bluetooth Serial Port" over and over again, asking me to reconnect. I have to exit all open programs and then restart bluetooth and then the BGP100 program. Then do it all over again in 2-5 minutes.
Anyone have a working solution for the Touch Pro 2?
Edit: and it won't let me post links, so I guess someone will have to read my mind.
Im about to buy one soon, just to try it on my TP2 (Tilt 2) but it seems to work on the playstation emulator just that the buttons are not pressure sensitive.
I was able to find a driver or program for the TP2 so the gamepad would work on it but i still dont have the gamepad.
ill try to find it and post as soon as i can
if i cant get it to work on my TP2 then i still have my Axim x51v
HERE IT IS, use at own risk because i have not tested it or remember were i got it
i think it might be a modified version of the tool

I'm trying to pair my bluetooth keyboard, which worked perfectly under Gingerbread, but will not pair under ICS. Basically, the keyboard will not go into pairing mode until I give it a pin, and ICS won't give me the pin until the keyboard is pairing. Is there any way to tell ICS what pin to expect before trying to pair? This is the sequence I am doing:
1. Put keyboard in discoverable mode.
2. Select the keyboard in the bluetooth menu.
3. Type in a pin on the keyboard and hit enter.
4. A dialog comes up on the tablet telling me what pin to use to pair. (I have to type in the pin in the keyboard for this to come up)
5. Pairing fails after about 1/4 of a second.
Anyone I have the same thing. Get a pop up for a quarter of a second that has a pin but I can't enter it or even read it and then fail.
Please been looking for a solution for a while.
HP Touchpad CM9 4.03
I've downgraded to cyanogenmod 7, and am purchasing a case with a built in keyboard that hopefully does not share the issue. I think these are the only two options.
Bluetooth keyboard in ics
Hi all, I hope I'm in the right area, I have android ics, when I go to pair a Bluetooth keyboard, I put the keyboard into pairing mode and then search on the phone. The phone finds the keyboard and sais please enter the pin code on the keyboard, and press enter, wichita I do and the message on the phone disappears and the keyboard seems to be pairs, but when you look at the keyboard the pairing light is still flashing. The keyboard works great on my partners...dare I say it iPad, but I can not get it to work in ics. I've tried blueinput, blue keyboard jp ,but neither of these program's seem to help. The can see the keyboard but don't seem to connect to them. Any help would be appreciated. To me it seems as tho the keyboard is not receiving an acceptance message from the phone to say connected.

I would venture to say this is a device specific issue. I'd recommend going to the forum for your particular device and replying to a six month old post there that is vaguely related to your issue.
I have looked through the forums, and havnt found anything that helps. I have tried different programs and possible fixes. To no avail. I have a generic phone with ics so rooting may not b an option. One thing i have noticed is ics automatically generates a bluetooth access key. Is there a way to change this to manually choose or enter a pass key. I think this may be part of my problem. Or possibly fix the issue i have. Any thoughts.
