I changed my O2 XDA mini S from the supplied rom to the Imate rom as I am using it on Vodafone and did not want all the o2 rubbish that slows it down.
It works fine, really happy...however..
I have some strange keyboard map, not qwety or qwerz issue but the @ key is on the S key not the D as in all the pictures. The ! is on the A key etc.... Main .keys a-z all work fine
Its as if o2 has its own keyboard with everything accessed by the dot key shifted...they all work just have to keep searching for the right key to push.
Is there a different driver for this qwerty keyboard with different functionality? if not using the mapper software available has anyone written a map as it appears to be beyond me....

I tried to install it on my newly arrived XDA II, with no success, although I downloaded PPC 2003 eVB.
Anybody knows if it works with XDA II or any software substitute? It was my favorite with XDA I.
THX,

I tried it on XDA II with MS Visual Basic runtime and it works.

Thanks Cairo31male. I installed eVB (for PPC 2003) first and then installed it, without overwriting the newer files. It does not work on my unit!
Any trick?

Havent tried D9 in XDAII but Finger Clix is better since it searches both first and last names.
I could not get Phone Plus to work - it seems they will bring out a version for the XDA II / WM2003
Phone Plus did work once I installed eVB
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/resources/downloads/developer/evb.mspx
Like D9, it searches within the first name; is a bit slower than Finger Clix but unlike Finger Clix, it gives a phone type interface and numbers can be dialed directly as well
For some reason it silenced the keypad sound in the default phone application (and in Finger Clix too? I am not sure if it had this to begin with). Once Phone Plus and eVB are removed, the phone keys regain their nice soft beep when pressed.
Hope this helps.
Anyone using Finger Clix ? Please tell me if pressing keys gives a soft beep since I seem to think I have lost this while trying the above experiment.
Dear Prophet users,
Is there a way to use my nokia 6230 as a bluetooth keypad for my QTEK S200?
On screen keyboard is not useful most of the time.
I'm an expert on my nokia 6230's keyboard.
If it were possible to use it as a bluetooth keyboard for QTEK S200 it would be perfect for me.
And If it is not possible is there a blutooth keypad with 9 key phone key layout which can be used as "phone pad" text entry tool in WM5.0
!! NO BODY?? !!
No body have an idea ??

Can't you use the built in phone pad with your fingers?
Personally, I use Spb Full Screen Keyboard
I've been googling for a bluetooth keypad for a long time. Touch screen keypad is definitely not a good idea, at least for me. I'm on the road most of the time. Used to be able to sms without looking at the screen while driving. Can't do it now. I know I'm not suppose to do that but.... excuse... excuse... excuses....
The closest (but not close enough) is a device called "Frog" something. Can't remember the name. Emailed the distributor in Singapore. They didn't follow thru with my query. Sad....
I have a omz bluetooth keyboard,no wording in dopod 830 too...
No one ??
Actually I have an idea but I'm not a programmer so it is just an idea for me.
There are some software those enable users to connect their PC(server) via Bluetooth (and/or GPRS) enabled mobile phones (client).
There are two parts of the sotfware
1st to be installed on PC and works as server
2nd is a java program to be run on Mobile Phone.
This enables the mobile user to control the PC via mobile phone.
User can use navigation key as mouse and keypad of mobile phone as keyboard of the PC.
If there were a server part for WM 5.0, it would also work for PPC to mobile phone management.
Can anybody have a proramming background to perform this kind of software.
I'm sure it would have so much buyers.
no one ??
isn't there a good programmer to do this application
I think what you're describing there is remote desktop. This is already built into Windows Mobile (5 & 6), and can connect to any PC running XP Pro/Server/Vista. Alternatively you could use a VNC client opn your WM Device (there are a few around) and a VNC server on your PC (again, there are a few variants). Although this sounds like a good idea its pretty fiddly trying to control a whole PC using a touchscreen and an onscreen keyboard, and if you're anyhting like me you'll get sick of it pretty fast and just use a laptop.
As for the PC connecting to the WM device, this can be done using the Remote Display Control Powertoy released by Microsoft a couple of years back. You'll have to google for that one though. If you cant find it give me a buzz and ill post it somewhere.
Ok.. I'm so confused.
I just got a US version of the HTC Dual Touch from Best Buy. Apparently it's not even a Nike device. It's a Neon.
The only reason I know that is because I donwloaded and tried to installed the HTC Keyboard patch and it of course told me the patch was for Nike devices.
Regardless.. the problem I'm having is that in some applications, I cannot get the application to recognize the 20 key keyboard. What I mean is that it only registers numeric keys and the 1st letter of the other keys. So I can type 0-9, q, a, z, o, l, del, enter.
I've tried holding down the SYM key to get it to switch to another text entry mode and it won't.
The biggest problem I'm having is that my company uses Good Mobile Messaging. That means my email, calendar and address book are all served up through the Good suite of apps. And these apps won't recognize the keyboard properly.
I've also noticed this same problem using both the Windows Live and Google Search home screen plugins. They won't recognize the keyboard either.
Keyboard apps like TouchPal seem to work but I bought the dual to get the suretype keyboard.
Any ideas?
Your right.
Never noticed it because i don´t use those apps frequently. Maybe some Niki users could let us know if they ave the same issue.
I have the same problem as well. Got my Touch Dual from Best Buy. Found that the keyboard does not work in Goodlink and some other applications. Exactly the same symptoms reported by adamrogers. I'm disappointed to say the least.
Tried the keyboard patch from HTC's website and ran into the same "this is not a Nike" issue.
This may or may not help, but as soon a I uninstalled PCM Keyboard it was fine and was back to normal. I have not tried the mentioned apps though.

So you are able to use the keyboard in apps like "Windows Live Search" from the Home Screen plugin?
I'm not even sure what PCM Keyboard is so unless it was already installed when I got the device, I don't have it installed.
It's just that stupid program from htc wich lets you choose what input to be used, (as far as i recon) the dual won't let you select the right input if you haven't selected a genuine wm textfield (like in opera 9.x, and the above mentioned apps). In my case, i can only enter numbers. Its a shame that htc uses a kind of software that doesn't recognizes those textfields...

PCM Keyboard is an aftermarket keyboard it seems to confuse the device. I ended up using a cab from htc that disables xt9 and am much happier now...
UPDATE_ I just tried and it does not help when I enable the windows live plugin and try to search... Numbers still... Dang Google plugin works fine though

Weird.. Google plugin doesn't work for me. Do you have the 20-key? If so, it sounds like that CAB automatically enables ABC keyboard. Maybe they can make a CAB that enables XT9 by default. Who did you contact or where did you go to get that CAB?
I bought the Stowaway Bluetooth Keyboard (a.k.a. Dell Axim Executive Keyboard with Wireless Technology. Now, the keymapping seems to be off.. that is, the RFn-2 key produces a "@", while the layout on the keyboard shows quotation marks... I've tried the different Layout Settings, but couldn't find the right one. It seems to be an .kbd file, stored on my memory card. Does anyone have experience in editting such a file? What software should I use? Thnx.
I have the same keyboard, using the last German WM5 driver of the now defunct manufacturer (drivers can still be found on the net). If you install the driver of your language version to the device, not the memory card, all keys should be mapped correctly.
Installed on device, still wrong mappings. Could you provide your .kbd file online? Would that solve the problem?
ps. I found my driver on :
http://support.dell.com/support/dow...1&impid=-1&formatcnt=1&libid=17&fileid=139841
Were did yours come from?
I never had to mess around with a .kbd file, so cannot help you there. Drivers are here:
http://corporate.igo.com/support/Drivers.asp?ManufacturerID=7&ModelID=16
There was ever really only one type of such keyboard, so I guess key is to find the right driver. If not under Dell, try the HTC drivers instead, use the WM5 drivers for the Prophet phone (Version 4.51)
hi!
well, neither my Stowaway bluetooth keyboard, nor Resco Explorer can use Bluetooth on the HD2. For resco there is the Irda/Obex workaround, the keyboard can be used as a regular HID keyboard.
But the latter has the problem that I can not use the specific layout of my keyboard, where the stowaway driver would allow that, but doens't recognize the stack.
any idea how to resolve this?
is it possible to install another bluetooth stack?
is it possible to use a differend keymap for HID keyboards?
thanks
Bernhard
That's strange. My Stowaway Bluetooth keyboard paired straight away and everything works except for the function keys that required additional software.
What happens when you try to pair it?
it does work, but I have a german keyboard, german keyboards have a different layout.
if I could use Stowaways software (that doesn't work with the HD2s bluetooth stack) I could switch to the german stowaway layout.
but if I just pair them, windows mobile uses the US layout, and thus a lot of keys simply don't work or produce wront chars (like if you set your PC keyboard layout to German, the same would happen but the other way round).
so, there would be two solutions:
change the keyboard layout for the HID device
make the stowaway software work on the HD2
;(
hi,
i tried a freedom universal keyboard2, with the same result. the keyboard software dosent work on hd2, and when i pair it via bt, i get a english layout.
i poked around the registry and found the entry HKLM\Drivers\HID\ClientDrivers\Keyboard\DLL. i think the kbdhid.dll is the one wich is responsable for the key mapping. but i'm not sure about that.
regards mad.
I am having the same issue with my German iGo Stowaway keyboard and the Touch Pro 2 (running a wm 6.5.3 ROM). Did you already find any solution to that?
