Has anyone successfully connected their Bluetooth keyboard? And which kinds can you confirm work for our EVO 3D?
Sent from my Shooter
Yes. I had a Logitech connected, and now have my Think Outside stowaway connected.
I currently have a "Rii Mini" (bought off ebay) connected, and it works great. It is a mini keyboard with touchpad.

Thank you both, which logitech keyboard specifically?

Dinovo BT.
I'm not even sure what model/brand this BT keyboard is, but it paired and worked first try. Awesome, since I couldn't get it to work on my EVO 4G.
It's Bluetooth Mini Keyboard from ebay, and it was really cheap when I got it, though I don't remember the price. It's slightly smaller than the phone itself, and thinner.
Made in China, and I think it was shipped from there too.
I have a Logitech MX5000 Bluetooth Keyboard. Paired and connected perfectly.
Whenever the two devices are close by, I just switch on the Bluetooth on the EVO3D and boom... auto pair/connect!
Now we need a good dock with hdmi out (not the one that Best Buy/Sprint was selling) so that this little guy can completely replace my need to carry a laptop around all day long.

Thanks Compusumufr!
Can you give additional info on your setup? Rooted or not?
Stock or custom Rom?
Been tryin' to do this with my stock evo and Stowaway (Igo version) with no joy!

Cool, if it supports bluetooth HID profile then the Phonejoy will work - heres my demo with the HTC Sensation (forward to 3:30):
More info here including stuff on the new Phonejoy version with analog sticks!

Does the Photon only work with the Motorola BT keyboard? I have tried 2 BT keyboards I already have and I cannot get them to pair with the phone. I tried both the 0000 and 1234 passkeys the phone tells me but neither works. Neither of my keyboards came with passkeys. Thanks in advance for any help you folks can offer.
I just paired mine to an Apple Wireless Keyboard (bluetooth) that I had laying arond and it worked fine.
Random note about pairing an apple keyboard though:
After the phone asks you to put in a pin number and you hit ok, immediately type the same pin into the keyboard and hit enter. Then it will pair fine.
Hmm I will have to give that entering the key on the keyboard a try.
Yup that did the trick. I am using the Targus tablet keyboard and I did as you said, I entered the passkey on the phone and as soon as I hit OK I entered the same number on the keyboard and hit enter and boom I was in business. Only thing though I don't know if your using SPb 3D shell but I had to uninstall it because everytime I connect the keyboard the whole SPB shell crashes. Anyone else using SPB 3D shell experience this?
Sorry, I'm not using that. Is it a launcher? I'm using launcher pro.

Best product I have seen for portability/functionality: Logitech diNovo Mini
In theory, should any keyboard that properly implements canonical Bluetooth HID work with the Photon (at least, well enough to work properly with Connectbot, including cursor keys)? Or in more concrete terms, has anybody found a Bluetooth HID keyboard that worked with Cyanogen, but DIDN'T work as expected on a Photon with stock firmware?
(by the way, I'm also open to suggestions for a keyboard that can be non-awkwardly pocketed, and is suitable for both panic-stricken sysadmin work with Connectbot involving bash & SQL *and* casual web browsing while eating at BK. I could almost deal with one that's "phone-like" as long as the center-to-center key pitch is at least as wide as the Epic, it has a number row, and the symbols are in the right places... but with more empty space surrounding the keys so I won't have to press with my fingertip to avoid pressing an adjacent key. I'd totally kill for the folding Jorno KB I saw on Wired & Gizmodo, but it looks like THAT one won't actually be available until 2012 even though they started sending out press releases and demo units last year).
Update: does anybody have an opinion (good, bad, awesome-if-it-worked-but-it-doesn't, etc) about this particular keyboard:
http://www.dracotek.com/bluetooth-w...e-smartphones-pc-laptop-and-more-bfkip01.html
It looks like the latest incarnation of the 4-way folding keyboard design that's been around since at least the Palm V (now, with bluetooth and USB-recharged lithium battery). I really like it (on paper, at least), because it's the only keyboard like this I've ever found that has all the keys I care about in the right places. I've been lusting after a keyboard like this for literally years, but it seems like my phones have always been one version away from compatibility with it (sigh). Now that I have a phone that literally knows how to deal with proper Bluetooth HID out of the box, I'm dying to finally buy one the moment I have an excuse to believe it's likely to work ;-)
I picked up the Official Moto Keyboard at Target for $48 - Normally $69.99 - it was marked as clearance - couldn't pass it up
Connected and works very well with the Hacked webtop

That worked with the CE Compass Mini Bluetooth as well. If only the documentation had mentioned that critical step.
The CE Compass bluetoothhas a mouse ponter control, uses AAA batteries, and is cheaper than Logitech but probably not as robust.
It is about half the size of an iPad. So it could go into a big pocket.
Thanks to follow
Well, for what it's worth, I've successfully paired and used both a DiNovo keyboard and MX900 mouse. I haven't bought a pocketable keyboard though. At the moment, I'm trying to find an app compatible with the Hero that can emulate a real, honest to god Bluetooth HID keyboard and Mouse (99% of the apps in Android Market don't emulate HID, and require a special server app that doesn't work on phones/tablets at the other end). If I can get the Hero to work and pair with my Photon as its keyboard/mouse, I'll be psyched... I already own it, it's just sitting in a drawer anyway, it's half the size of actual pocketable bluetooth keyboards with mouse capabilities, and I can do Graffiti on it instead of fumbling with keys scaled for a midget

the first one is the cheapest. i believe the other ones are just a lil newer. just make sure u order bluetooth and not 2.4ghz.
Those look nice but don't need a touch pad tho. I never use webtop not found myself ib a situation to need to use webtop since my laptop is always near by. I'm just looking for a mini keyboard that will work.

Has anyone had any luck pairing Bluetooth keyboards with the DX2?
I was looking at one of the mini-BT keyboards on Amazon.
I was wondering if anyone had already tried a similar device and knew for a fact that HID Keyboards would pair correctly with a Droid X2 (No Root)
Or is there a better small BT keyboard out there?
I was wondering the same thing. I'm probably going to buy the one by Verbatim. It has a nice carrying case. I'll let you know how it is.
Sent from my MB870 using XDA App
I've got a motorola bluetooth keyboard and it pairs with my x2 just fine. I'm running cm7 now but I've tried most of the roms available and it's worked fine with any of them. Biggest problem is figuring out all the shortcut keys. A google search will help ya out there though.
Just experimented with this myself today. I got it to work using a Logitech MediaBoard Pro. Worked nice because it has a small touchpad built in. Usually use it with my PS3, but had it hooked up to my TV via HDMI and was surfing around. Kinda nice, because I can just dock it in the media dock, then sit back on the couch and control it.
I'm on stock 2.3.4.
I can confirm that bluetooth HID devices work quite well. I am typing right now from my Zippy bluetooth keyboard and I am also paired with a bluetooth mouse. They are both HID devices and I have tried this setup while I was on my stock rooted DX2 2.3.4, and now that I am running Eclipse 2.04. By the way the zippy keyboard was the cheapest I could find about a year ago and it gets the job done. Oh this also work in tandem with an HDMI connections to my tv.
Is there any kind of gamepad solution for the Evo 3D that is confirmed to work? I don't care if I have to purchase a new product, but I would like a way to use either a bluetooth or USB gamepad.
I know the HTC BT Stack lacks support for the Wii remote and PS3 controllers.
Just looking for some input from other Evo 3D owners before I end up wasting my time and money on something that will not work.
You have an option of going to an AOSP rom and using it on there? it works on all bt devices i tested it with a wii mote w/classic controller

Alas, there is not, the only way to get a pad working is to have a stock rom, then connect a pad via usb, wiimotes and ps3 pads work very well indeed, but with sense roms the bluetooth stack isn't compatible with pads, due to sense and it's bluetooth limitations, HID USB i think it is, basically devices can't be used as peripherals, including pads.
I'm in the same boat m8, watching my mate on his Gal nexus whilst i'm slumming it on a touchscreen pad is just a kick in the teeth, i do believe no one has ever gotten a pad to work over bluetooth on any device using sense.
Get Gannii's stock ICS rom when they fix the bluetooth and your golden, the camera doesn't work yet tho either

I guess that would work, haha.
I think I'm going to go with the iControlPad. From what I've read it's compatible with HTC Sense when using BluezIME, has dual analog sticks and a clip-holder to hold the phone as a screen. Sure, it's $70, but comfort is important when gaming.

I like that the iControlpad comes with a little clip mounting system that makes it feel more like a real handheld gaming device. I don't like the idea of having to prop my screen up somewhere and warp my neck to squeeze in a little gaming
Although I might buy one to have a 2nd controller for when I get my HDMI adapter
I'm using a PS3 Bluetooth controller and it works great. Just get the sixaxis pair app and you are good to go.

I have an HTC EVO 3D and do not want to root my phone, so that is not an option
Any other controllers out there that doesn't require root access?
Currently I have an E4GT, and my BT works great. I can connect my S9-HDs, PS3 controller, wii-mote without a hitch.
This wasn't the case with my OGEvo, the audio would cut in and out, and I couldn't connect any controllers without being on CM.
Is there any info about the BT stack on the 4G LTE? I'm asking here because I assume that it's different that in the OneX, if I'm incorrect let me know and I'll ask over there.
It looks like it has many more profiles then og 4G. I saw some has a wiimote paired with one x (although it is laggy)

I think they'll probably have the same stack. WiiMotes work fine with my One X, I didn't have trouble with latency. My Phonejoy also works fine. PS3 controllers work with Root via Sixaxis app, although I'm presently locked to stock while reviewing the handset for Telecom NZ, so haven't personally confirmed that.
Bluetooth audio should be much better, since BT 4.0 has much higher bandwidth for audio streaming (although the receiving device may end up being the bottle neck). If you have a receiving device that is also Apt-X capable then the audio will be excellent, basically the same as wired up to around 370kbps (the Samsung HS3000 is cheap, versatile, and has Apt-X).

This is what the build.prop from the latest Jewel leak says:
Code:
# system property for Bluetooth Hardware information
ro.product.bluetooth=4.0
That suggests BT 4.0 to me.
Hope my icontrolpad works with it. From these comments it looks like it should. I like stock but a huge reason I want this phone is to run emulators on that awesome screen and have it propped up nice on that kickstand during my lunch hour.
I've already bought the Sixaxis app from the Play Store as I use that with my PS3 controller on my Prime. Would be great if it really does work on the Evo LTE as I wouldn't even have to spend any more cash.

So i ordered mouse and keyboard BT to use with mine flyer. Specialy with BT5 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445337
Mouse: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=2933#ov
Pairs no problem and works great.
Keyboard: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=271016003248&ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:C:US:3160
will report once recived.
BT + Flyer + mouse is great!
I tried a Microsoft Bluetooth Keyboard, but without a mouse.
Since the operating system was designed for touch navigation, the keyboard is not very helpful for any navigation, but I'd be curious how the combo improves the experience. Please follow up when you get it hooked up.
Will do, ofc. Still w8ing on keyboard. Usually takes up to 4 weeks due to free shiping via Hong Kong post.
Ok so i finally recive the item (long shipment). Pairs good along with mouse and headset so all 3 devices can be used at same time. Atm looks like all base stuff works no problem. However i need to reinstal Back Track linux on mine Flyer since i had some migration in this time; will report how its gona work when i conect flyer to monitor and use mouse and keyboard in linux on Flyer. Will take few days as i am hold up by rl.
I ordered the Motorola Android Keyboard + Mouse and it should arrive in a couple of days. I too am curious how the combo works, I hope everything will be GREAT.
I really want one! Does anyone know of any inexpensive ones avalible in sweden?
