Info: How to get Thinkoutside Bluetooth keyboard working... - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

Guys, and proud (future) owners of the Thinkoutside Bluetooth external keyboard. Save yourself some time by remembering these two important steps:
1) Thinkoutside PPC driver (current 4.5) must be installed in main memory
2) After pairing, in enabling dialogue, you´ll find another tiny option button "Disable internal HID" (a Bluetooth profile) below the greyed Connect button. Disable Tytn´s HID, and Thinkoutside will work.
Enough that I lost one hour searching for the "how-to-install", previously installed flawlessly on the Prophet...

Anybody know if this works for the Stowaway Travel Mouse aswell? I can't get it to work...

HTC TyTN - Vodafone 1605 Bluetooth ThinkOutside Stowaway Universal Keyboard install.
I just followed the advice from Lucas0511 with driver version 4.52. I used the Stowaway with a PPC2003 Fujitsu Siemens 720 and just got it working with my new Vodafone 1605 phone
I installed the CAB file to the main memory using Cabinstl_en.exe rather than using the .exe which comes in the zip file from www.igo.com. The HTC TyTN Orange 3100 and Vodafone 1605 as of today are not on the supported list but the 4.52 driver obtained by entering the manufacturer
T-mobile Pocket PC and MDAII will get you to the Think Outside PPC En.zip 4.52 4/18/2007 download page which can also be reached by entering:

Uhh maybe it's because you can't use a mouse in windows mobile ?!?!
doh!
p.s. you need special software if you really want to do that.

Driver for Logitech BT keyboard

I'd like to buy the Logitech diNovo bluetooth keyboard+mouse.
But I'd like to use it also with my MDA2.
Any experience, advice, tip?
I have a diNovo keyboard. So far I have not been able to get it to talk to my imate. I do not think a driver is available.

I've seen a beta version of driver for PalmOS.... That's why I'm still hoping...
i dont think there's an avaiable widcomm stack for PPC devices that support HID(for now)
Same tale here, I can't the DeNuovo to talk to the Xda II at all, not even ASync. Anyone managed to get AS to work?
HID Profile
Hi,
What do you need to develop a HID profile "driver" for Pocket PC?
Can anyone give me pointers to SDKs, DOCs, ... ?
Bye,
PHPat
:shock: I have the dinovo desktop for a long time. Even with old XDA2 rom I was sync through bluetooth beautifully without any problem.
You need to install the Tobais bluetooth tool first. with the new updated rom, I can also sync it with the add on bluetooth tool.
But then I had serious problem with latest bluetooth tool, so I uninstalled it, but I can still active sync with my pc through the dinovo Bluetooth.
Did you follow the instruction from o2 site? I followed that and it works flowlessly.
When you pair with pc successfully, you should see the activesync from ppc have the tab "connect to MYCP via bluetooth"
If not, u've done something wrong :?
Since my HD f__ked up completely, I cannot really tell you the exact step. But i remembering enable two com ports in the setting. Logitech only have one com enabled.

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!
CZR
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
dinovo EDGE?
Hey - was it the Dinovo EDGE keyboard (the one with builtin trackpad) that you got working? if so, did the mouse work to?
Thanks :>

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.

Jasjam & portable bluetooth keyboard - pls help!

Hi,
I'm a newbie and would like some help pleeease!
I have a jasjam that is running wm6. I bought an iGo Think Outside portable bluetooth keyboard and mouse. They do not support Jasjams... but someone had downloaded the Jasjar driver and installed it and everything worked fine (http://www.mrgadget.com.au/2007/05/imate-jasjamdopod-838-pro-stowaway.html). The only thing is that his jasjam was probably on wm5 judging by the date I went ahead and bought the keyboard and mouse thinking I could download the jasjar driver and be able to use them but I can't get them to work (it only gets up to step 5 in the manual)
Just wondering if anyone knows how I can get my keyboard to work on wm6? I wrote to customer support and they can't help because the keyboard is now discontinued and they won't be releasing any new drivers for wm6
Thanks and looking forward to hearing from anyone

Touch HD and Stowaway BT keyboard?

I searched the forum and found a couple posts about using the Think Outside Stowaway Bluetooth Keyboard with the HD, and they seem to have driver problems.
Has anybody successfully used this keyboard with the Touch HD? Or any other bluetooth portable keyboard? If so, what driver did you use? The only place I can find drivers for it is on the iGo website (who no longer sell their branded version of it) and they do list drivers for HTC, but not the Blackstone.
Thanks.
Works fine for me with iGO's last WM5 driver, but driver must be installed in main memory!
Thanks for the quick response. I'm tempted to try one of these.
working great from time that HD got launched.
as always, install drivers to main memory and its no prob.
Same here: Works perfectly!
Same here! Been using the same Stowaway keyboard since 2004 - Imate PDA2K to a IPaq HX2490 to TytnII & now my HD - works great! If you can't get the drivers let me know & I'll send you a copy of mine.

Yeah - I did post about what driver to use on a thread about this a while back, but then I lost the thread completely! But I then just tried the generic 'WM5' drivers and - yes, it does work - BUT what doesn't work are the 'options' - so I cant turn off that f...ing stupid and annoyingly loud 'key-click' on it - which basically renders it completely useless for me all over again.
Brilliant driver support once again.....
Although, in fairness, IIRC it's been a discon. product for some time??
Mine works fine as well. Cab file name that I use is Think Outside PPC5 En.CAB.
