Hi all,
I'm looking for an app to connect my bluetooth keyboard.
I am currently using the demo of blueinput, but it is slow and the screen keeps turning off! Blutooth easy connect doesn't work as it relies on pairing, and my keyboard doesn't have a pin for me to be able to do this.
If you happen to know anything like this, please let me know!
Thanks,
Jason

Is this a limitation of your keyboard? BT devices are supported by default on the streak. My cheap no-name keyboard works well. Just had to discover what the PIN was. Usually "1234". Just make sure to hit the enter key afterwards.
I did try.. I've bought one from ebay assuming it would work.
The keyboard connects fine through blueinput, but I can't figure out the default pin!
Tried 0000, 1111, 1234 etc. The streak tries to connect, then just goes back to "pair with this keyboard".

Is there a way of pairing without a pin?
Anyone?

Can you post a link to the keyboard you bought? I got mine from ebay as well.

I have a ThinkOutside foldup keyboard that works great. Here's how I paired mine:
Put the keyboard into pairing mode
search for BT devices on the Streak
enter a 4 digit code on the Streak AND the keyboard (be sure to press enter)
Bang! Rockin' and rollin'
Maybe yours requires you to enter the code on the Streak AND the keyboard?
You're damn right it did.. working flawlessly!
Thanks for the tip

Hi I am having trouble connecting my phone to the wii mote. Every time I attempt to connect it says "searching... found 0 wiimotes". Am I doing anything wrong? Any help is appreciated thank in advanced
What app are you using to connect the wiimote to your phone? Did you remember to push the 1 and 2 buttons on the wiimote to sync it?

I used wii mote controller and rwiimote. And yes I have been pressing the 1 and 2 button

Wiimote
Try using Snes9x EX and it's wiimote options, and make sure that your bluetooth is enabled. Apps like the one you've mentioned have never worked on my Fascinate. Hope it helps!
I could never get those apps to worth either. Will try this session method.

I have it working with Wiimote Controller on CM7. Download that and see if it works. Make sure bluetooth is enabled (obviously) and that Wii Controller IME is enabled in your keyboard settings, hold 1 and 2 on the wiimote shortly to make it discoverable/pair-able (you may need to press the red button under the battery cover if it is currently synced to a Wii).
hello i have a problem with my dell streak 5 ... that three buttons (out of the screen) doesnt work. i dont know what is the problem and i need our help, because is my daily use phone. thanks.
this phone is froyo version (2.2.2)
and i do hard reset
I think you should boot into recovery,and recalibrate screen,until it says "successfull" ....i know the buttons arent on the screen,but it got mine working one time......also theres a good app called "button savior" I think you have to be rooted thought.....but it puts the 3 hard buttons on your screen that you activate small button.....it does the same thing the hard buttons do
That way,you never need the 3 buttons on side of phone again

thanks but i do that and still bad
You installed the button savior app......it does what the outer 3buttons do.....just puts them on the touch screen

I have successfully paired my ps3 bluetooth headset and wireless keypad to my view running honeycomb (gingerbread with the headset) and they both work flawlessly.
The wireless keypad has a touch mode which enables the keypad to double as a mouse.
It takes some time to get used to using the keypad for full navigation but it's a nice option to have along with bluetooth keyboards.
It's a nice alternative to the $50+ bt keyboards and so much more smaller. Give it a try sometime if any of you have access to these items.
Interesting. Did both work wih Gingerbread?
What did you do to get them paired? I guess there is a special USB cable to hook them to the tablet for pairing?
Are you rooted? Have you modified the build.prop? Is your mic on the headset working or is it just media. I tried to connect my motorola finiti and all I got was media.

I only tried the headset on gingerbread, not the keypad. Pairing is the same for any bt accessory; put the accessory in pairing mode, turn on bluetooth on the tablet then enter the passcode when instructed.

Yes I am rooted. On gingerbread I modified the bt profiles number and set service.brcm.bt.ag_supported to 1. After that I rebooted and made some calls with the headset and the mic worked flawlessly. On honeycomb the bt profiles number is already correct for the same devices so all you need to do is set ag_supported and pair the accessories.
Can u post a picture of the pad or a link to where we cab buy it

This is the keypad I am using

Both work great on honeycomb. On gingerbread I only tested the headset, not the keypad.
I just got one over the weekend, ill try it on the GB view, the pads were on sale for $25 at BB.
So the pad u r using its like a key board and trackball? In other words u can control the tablet completely from the pad ?

Just about. The only downside is you have to switch between touchmode/trackball mode and typing, you can't do both at the same time. It isn't hard though to switch between the two as it has it's own dedicated button to go between the modes.
I haven't tested it with games but honestly that's the only time I prefer to actually touch the screen. Other than that, it's nice to be able to let my tablet sit on my night stand and just control it with the keypad.
And at less than $30 (average) you can't beat the portability factor.
All I can say is between the keypad and the headset I don't always have to be near the tablet to touch it for simple tasks.
No on hc view.

Do you actually have the headset paired to Hands-Free or just Media Audio?
I used the headset to make phone calls on my view tablet.

You are able to use the mic on the BT headset to make calls on Honeycomb? How?
Skype, grooveip. On the headset you also have to press the phone button.

What I mean is that the HFP profile is disabled in Honeycomb. Even if the build.prop is edited it will show, but devices won't actually connect to it. I'm wondering how you got around that issue.
I'm wondering the same exact thing. Can someone shed light on this. My headset won't actually connect either and it's driving me nuts because the build.prop method seemed like a sure fix. Someone please help!
The build prop is not a fix. LEEDroid is working ona a fix, but no solution yet. Check his thread / ROM
I am only interested in the keypad.
Will the PS3 one work on an unrooted/stock evo view?
Has anyone else noticed that while using the Swype keyboard it us not possible to enter numbers in payment fields on the internet?
Example: I go to transfer money from one bank account to another. Where I enter the dollar amount i can not input numbers unless I switch keyboards, but I can put in other characters.
This being said, I am able to enters numbers into other areas with my Swype keyboard "1234567890"...see? It works here, so why not where I'll actually use it? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

What is your current Swype version?
Attached a screen shot of the version...too long. Lol

Looks pre-loaded... what app is this happening in?
It happens in any "fields" where you enter a dollar amount like on ebay or my banks website...etc.

Do you mind checking to see if the same thing happens with yours? Thank you.

Not a problem for me, but i'm on a custom ROM, so browser/android version/swype version is likely different. Are you rooted? Why note install the beta? It's probably more up to date than what you're using.
I uninstalled the version that came with the phone and downloaded the beta. It installed the tablet version of Swype, which had a different configuration and smaller keys in portrait mode.
I tested the issue you described and I don't have it. I can enter numbers fine in Ebay fields. The tablet version automatically switched to a number pad actually.
Yeah, I'm rooted and OCed thanks to DA_G's threads.
I think I'll try out the tablet version. Thanks guys.

Thanks for reminding me to try this out. I find Swyping a with the S Pen to be really convenient and fast. Almost faster than my finger I think.

Freezing it via TBU would be the best way to do that.
(you'll need root)

Thanks, i like new swype beta, and yellow on it looks better than blue to me.
Just installed Swype beta but I think the keyboard is a bit too small for me. Any idea on how to get the non-tablet version?
I should be getting my lapdock soon and I set up dual boot so I can have a ROM dedicated for use with the dock. I was wondering if there was a way that I could get the reboot script to run when HDMI was connected. Android doesn't seem to have udev rules so is there another way to do it?

first thing I can think is to use Tasker but I don't know if there is hdmi options..
see if this can help
Yeah from what it looks like there is that that there's nothing triggered by connecting HDMI. I wonder if I could trigger it on the keyboard connection though.
