Hi All,
I bought a generic bluetooth keyboard for my flytouch 9s 10.1" 4.2.2 tablet.
I coupled it with the tablet but it doesn't show in the language input section
and when I try and use it to type within an office page ...zilch shows, just the vitual keyboard.
Is there somethiing I have missed or is it just not compatible.
A wireless one works fine and shows up.
ANY help will be most welcome.
Brian
If possible can you also email me direct

Hi, I'm a recent owner of the Archos Gen 8 and have also bought a bluetooth keyboard and mouse for the device.
The keyboard is working ok, but the mouse itself seems not native to the android os. For example, double-clicks equal to a touch in the screen, and I cannot select texts in documents-to-go, and so on. My question is whether it is possible that anyone can port the mouse-driver to the android so the mouse could work better?
Just my two-cent question since I know nothing about programming nor linux, but my work requires typing and editing documents on-the-go a lot. Anyone shares any opinions?
Thanks and best regs,

Moved to general as not android development
I have found this same problem on ARCHOS 101 Android 2.x.x. Bluetooth Mouse or USB Mouse could not use single click. Someone told me this problem relate to Android OS not ARCHOS device. But on my 7" Chiness Tablet Android 1.6 no problem with Mouse.
I don't know to to fix this bug on ARCHOS device.
I have a aluminium apple bluetooth keyboard. When I connect it to my tablet I put in the passcode to pair it and then check the box to use it as an input device, but when I go to type anywhere it doesn't do anything and the touchscreen keyboard comes up. I have tried the tablet with a wired keyboard, which works fine.
Thats odd. Ive paired mine as you and when i press any key the internal keyboard goes off. Are you sure you have set it up as the default keyboard?
How do I do this? In language and input I can only choose standard keyboard as the default.
YOU must type the correct Numbercode and hit the Enter Button on the Keyboard. This works i hope

I have an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and want to use it with my Xperia Tablet S 32gb,
I input the 4 digit code and it pairs, but it doesn't input anything. Strangely, it works on my Xperia S mobile phone!
I posted here about it! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1908522
If you have any ideas, please can you post for me?

Hey there, I do believe this comes down to incompatibilities with the version of bluetooth supported. Eg my my bluetooth mouse works on my laptop and galaxy s 2, but not my tablet s. My bluetooth key board which I know to be bluetooth 2.0 works fine on all. No idea what the mouse is, it was just a cheapo one with limited specs available. Wroks great on compatible devices though
Hi DreadPirateDan!
thanks for your reply,

I understand a bit about Bluetooth Human Interface Device Profile (HID) and wonder if some genius has worked out a way to get these to work together..
But guess I will have to give up! I have the case with keyboard for the Xperia Tablet S but the viewing angle is not good for me. Maybe I will find a cheap Bluetooth keyboard.
The Sony one - http://www.sony.co.uk/product/other-sony-tablet-accessories/sgp-wkb1 is a bit too pricey!

The Tablet S doesn't support Apple Bluetooth keyboard is because the kernel excluded module hid-apple. You can root your tablet to support it.

I not sure whether to root yet. Only experience is with my Samsung 7" tablet, and that must be 2 years ago now...
Then I am not sure how to add the correct Bluetooth profile!
Lots of reading and research to do!

Hi all,
on my Sony Tablet S 4.0.3r5a (stock) I am able to pair my original Apple Bluetooth keyboard (the small one), it shows as paired input device, but doesn't show up in input devices, and I cannot use it. I tried to repair it multiple times, but it just never shows up there.
It works fine with my GNexus and Nexus 7 (both running 4.2). Is there something I'm missing?
I have a Lenovo IdeaTab S6000 and I recently purchased the Red Samurai/GameStop V2 branded Bluetooth controller and I'm finding that when I connect the controller, a mouse cursor appears on screen that can be semi-controlled via the analog sticks. This essentially causes none of the compatible games for the controller to improperly function. Within my tablets setting menu is an option to change a mouse's cursor speed (something not present on my HTC One, which the controller works perfectly on) and I was wondering if this option could be a factor in the overall problem and if disabling this option is possible. I have spent the past two days trying to remedie this problem and have had no luck so any kind of support would be greatly appreciated.
Also, this being my first post, I apologize in advance if this was posted in the wrong area.

Necroposting, but I figured I'd add to the conversation:
The only gamepad that I've gotten to work with this device (as a gamepad) is the Moga Hero. Connecting was always finicky at best and would require a full reboot, and immediately connect when it powers up. Otherwise it wouldn't pair at all.
I've tried the Red Samurai v2, the Nyko Playpad, and most recently the Mad Catz C.T.R.L.R. Invariably, the mouse mode works and works very well, but the gamepad mode always does what was written above.
In trying the xbox 360 gamepad, it blinks but doesn't connect.
As a lark, I purchased a Asus MeMo 7" HD tablet which has the same MediaTek chipset (8125) and the same exact problem exists with that device too (mouse mode works, no gamepad). Both the Memo and the Lenovo tabs are on the same version of Android (4.2.2) and the same kernel (3.4.5) on the stock rom. I assume it's Mediatek's fault, in which case HID gamepads are a no go on these devices.
Unless someone has other information, which would be much appreciated.
Oh, wanted to add something: when the C.T.R.L.R. connects in gamepad mode, you get only a cursor. When I connect my bluetooth keyboard, the multimedia controls start working. Not sure why that is.
I'm trying to get a Targus KB55 bluetooth keyboard working with the Lenovo Tab E10. Specifically, the keyboard will connect, but the Physical Keyboard setting always says "not connected", and trying to type anything on the keyboard just does nothing. The tablet connects to a bluetooth mouse and works just fine. The keyboard connects to my linux laptop and works. It just seems there could be problem with the combination of a bluetooth keyboard and this tablet. I'm curious to know if it's just the specific brand and model (Targus KB55), or the version of Android (8.1), or maybe Lenovo "broke" something so the keyboard doesn't work. In any case, the goal is to get a bluetooth keyboard working. Ideas?
