HP BT Folding keyboard (FA287A) driver hack? - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Does anyone have a patch or hack to allow the HP Bluetooth Folding keyboard to work with the iMATE PPC/XDA II? I love my ThinkOutside, but I am a touch typist, and I *really* need the number key row... HP is the only one that offers a full-sized keyboard with the number key row, but when I load their driver software, I get an error, "Cannot find KDBDEVICE... (or something similar... I'm working off of memory)". ThinkOutside doesn't have any plans on manufacturing a k/b with the number key row... <sigh>.
Anyone?
Thanks.

Logitech DiNovo BT Keyboard Works on Qtek 9100

I just tried to pair my Qtek 9100 with my Logitech DiNovo BT Keyboard with no hope of success, but...
I guess you shold never say never it actually worked, not only the pairing I mean the keybord actually works on the 9100! Cool.
My only setback is that I have a Swedish keyboard and the keyboard layout does not seem to match all the way.
My 9100 has Swedish OS with support for å ä ö characters but the corresponding keys on the DiNovo writes in the same order: ] ' `
It's always something though!

How?
I've been trying for a week to get my Cingular 8125 (Wizard) to sync with my DiNovo BT keyboard...how were you able to accomplish this truly astounding feat?! I've already downloaded the latest Widcomm drivers. If the Wizard initiates the pairing then the activesync service is not listed (only get serial port and headset services). If the PC initiates the pairing then I can get the activesync service as the only service for the connection, but then when I try to use activesync over bluetooth I get an error that the port could not be opened on the computer (assume this means PC, not handheld). Please post detailed steps!!! Thanks in advance

HP foldable bluetooth keyboard

Anyone have a driver? The ones from the HP site don't seem to work
I have the same problem. The HP BT foldable keyboard software doesn´t works on Trinity. Does anyone know a .cab or program to connect this keyboard on the HTC P3600?
Same problem here. Six months I am trying to find a driver for Trinity. Unfortunately no joy till now. I hope that you will be more lucky than me.
Regards!
I am using the drivers that came with the disk, big problems with key repeat. Is that everyone elses problem?

Generic / Unlocked Bluetooth Mouse Driver / HID for WM5

Hey Everyone,
I just purchased a Logitech v270 BT Mouse for my laptop. I've read somewhere that there's a generic / unlocked BT Mouse Driver floating around for WM5. I searched / googled all over the place but all I came up with is the Thinkoutside locked BT mouse driver (locked to only Thinkoutside BT mice). Does anyone know where I can download the unlocked / generic driver?
Does anyone have the unlocked driver / BT Mouse HID and would email it to me at [email protected]?
I would very very much appreciate any help or links on where to find the BT Mouse Driver / HID software.
Thanks in advance.
wow, I never thought, that this should be a problem. The truth is, that I tested only BT keyboard (few logitech KB´s) and I had no problem. I used BT Broadcomm stack. If I remember correctly, it was one simple application, which allows you to connect standard USB mouse throught USB host (with external power supply in some cases). I used it for a while on my previous pda - FS Loox n500. It worked, but not so stable. On screen was a little cursor, but it dissapear randomly. I never heard about driver for hermes... Try to look to Fujitsu-Siemens forums. Maybe you can find answers there. I am currious about sollution.
Hey sinmae,
I have no problems with BT keyboards as well. The issue with mice is the mouse pointer arrow (not native to WM5) .... there needs to be software to create the pointer arrow in WM5 so the arrow moves around like it does on a desktop OS. In WM5, I'm able to pair the BT Mouse with a typical MS BT Stack or Widcomm Stack.... the problem is rendering the pointer arrow and moving it around. I read in another post that there's a hacked unlocked Thinkoutside BT Mouse driver but I can't seem to find in. I'll take your advice and search the Fujitsu-Siemens forum. Do you have link to the Fujitsu-Siemens forum you're talking about?
Thanks

I've looked in this way too.
It's really pitty but I found hacked Thinkoutside BT Mouse driver only for WM2003.
It seems that there is no hacked driver for WM5
Hey bobstarina,
Is it possible if you can email me the WM2003 driver/cab if you have it at [email protected]?
Have you already tried the driver on WM5?
What happens? Just curious.
Thanks

Question to anyone with experience hacking drivers,
Since I'm able to download a locked WM5 version for the BT Mouse driver from Thinkoutside:
http://www.thinkoutside.com/support/download.asp?did=161&pid=10&link=/support/Download%20Support/PPC5/En/dr/Think%20Outside%20ppc5%20En.zip
Is difficult (with the right tools) to hack the installer/cab to make it unlocked for any BT Mouse?
I'm hoping the driver is merely filtering device IDs specific to ThinkOutside's mice. I can easily get the device ID of my VT270 from my laptop using Device Properties....
What tools/software are recommended?
I've never hacked a driver before other then hacking a Widcomm Driver where I had to add my device ID to an .ini file using a basic text editor.
If I am successful hacking this driver, I would most certainly share it with the rest of the community
Please Help
hi,
it was long ago, so I deleted all my bookmarks related to FJ Loox device, but try this one - http://www.firstloox.org/ or this one http://www.firstloox.org/forums/index.php?styleid=1 - I will add more, when I find it in my history.

After upgrade COM1 is unavailable

Hi All,
Yes - I unticked the box to turn off IRDA. (incoming beams) But I appreciate the suggestion...
Prior to upgrading my O2 XDA IIs to WM6 I was able to use some pretty crappy HP software for their model FA287A IPAQ Bluetooth Folding Keyboard.
Meaning - this all worked on WM5
This keyboard presents itself as a serial device (and not a HID device, shame on HP!). There is an application you install and run (in programs) that is hard coded to look at COM1 for the keyboard. It worked in WM5. The HP software installs fine, but complains about nothing on COM1. When I bluetooth connect the keyboard, and set the serial port in bluetooth settings (attempting to set it as COM1) it complains and says that the COM port can not be created.
Is there any way to tell what is using COM1?
I have searched the registry - but feel I must be missing something.
Any ideas?
Many thanks, Arthur...
