Jasjar now can pair with Stowaway Travel Mouse (bluetooth)

This is a tip about pairing the Stowaway Travel Mouse with JASJAR through Bluetooth.
I bought the Stowaway Mouse, and like many others, I could not get the mouse to pair, even though I downloaded the latest driver specifically for HTC Universal (= JASJAR). The setup screen would go from "Scanning for mouse..." to "Initializing connection..." back to "Scanning for mouse..." and on and on until it reports connection failure. I tried multiple times with multiple soft resets, to no avail.
I read online that someone reported he was able to pair after a hard-reset. I didn't do that, because I already have a lot of customization on my unit. I was on the verge of giving up and returning the mouse.
Then something happens by accident. In discoverable mode (after pressing the Discoverable button on the mouse and click "Connect" on the setup screen), while the screen says "Initializing connection...", I pressed the "Discoverable" button again by chance, only to find that it caused the screen to change to "Verifying connection..." and a red square appears on the screen for me to click, just like what the user manual says. After clicking the red square, the mouse started working.
I tried pairing the mouse again, using the same procedure. It paired successfully for the second time, and the third time. So this procedure is re-producible. I did notice there is an optimal timing when you should press that Discoverable button again to make it pair.
I also have the Stowaway bluetooth keyboard working at the same time. I have to say that, with both a mouse and a keyboard, it makes Jasjar a lot more productive.
Another thing I noticed but am not 100% sure, is that by turning off the "Power Efficient Mode" for both the keyboard and the mouse, their bluetooth connections seem more reliable.

Arrow?
Can you see the Arrow on the screen of Jasjar when move the Stowaway Mouse?
Thank

since i bought JasJar i was using this powerful mouse... i solved the problem by paring the mouse than Uncheck HID profile than delete the whole mouse from Bluetooth list.... then try to connect throwgh the Software that came with the mouse .... it will works YaaaaaY :wink:

Yes, the cursor arrow appears whenever the mouse is connected. If the mouse goes into standby, the cursor will disappear. So whenever you see the cursor on the screen, that means the mouse is ready to use.

Maybe I should give it another try. I had also gotten the mouse to work only when I frantically reset the discoverable mode over and over again during pairing. Getting the keyboard and mouse to work at the same time drove me nuts, I was only able to do it once. I had about given up on this, can you advise what you think the timing is for resetting the mouse during pairing?

I would say, wait about 1 second after the screen changes from "Scanning for mouse" to "Initializing connection", then press the Discoverable button again. The timing is not that strict. I believe you can get it working within two or three tries. You can pair the keyboard before or after pairing the mouse. Overall, the mouse connection seems to be less stable than the keyboard connection.
I also noticed that, after you power off Jasjar and the mouse, it is much better to turn on Jasjar first, and when Jasjar has fully woken up, then turn on the mouse. It is easier to restore the mouse connection this way (without re-pairing).

Oh my god, somehow this all worked. I'm using the mouse in safe mode, which is a pain in the arse sometimes when it leaves the mouse icon on the screen, but it's working, for now.
Big big thanks for the tips and inspiration to try this again!

I have a generic bluetooth mouse (www.omiz.net) which pairs and works perfectly fine with my EXEC, only thing is the cursor is not shown i can click around in Word Mobile etc and even scroll... but pretty pointless without a cursor.
I tried using it with the Stowaway BT mouse driver, no luck in pairing.

Unfortunately - I have only been able to get a generic driver for my manhattan generic mouse at http://cabfiles.net but it only works on WM2003SE and not WM5 - maybe we can convinec george to develop a WM5 driver .... :?

in case anyone has given up on this, it looks like the pairing issues might be solved in version 4.4: http://www.thinkoutside.com/support/Drivers.asp?ManufacturerID=17&ModelID=295
It seems like the pairing of both the keyboard and mouse goes much smoother now. I didn't need to reset the mouse connection while it was searching for the device, it just connected. Only problem I had was that the mouse gets a little laggy when using with a BT keyboard at the same time. This was in enhanced mode, not sure if safe mode solves that problem.

Does the mouse work in true vga mode ?

Does someone knows if it is possible to make this driver to work/pair with MS BT mouse?

bluetooth keyboard (hp foldable bt kb) on htc touch dual (niki)

i'm a real fan of my bt foldable bt keyboard by hewlett packard. use it often and with satisfaction on my hp hx4700 WITH WIFI... was hoping i could get my touch dual to work as a modem for my hx4700 but haven't succeeded so far. no problem since i can do the same in large mail messages and such on the touch. just make sure to carry both. problem is that i can't get the bt keyboard connected. the hp drivers don't allow installation and seem to be hp signed. anybody have a suggestion? is the hp a 3rd party branded bt keyboard so that i can use independent drivers? the td doesn't seem to recognise the keyboard when it is mdae discoverable. like to keep both and have great memories of working over a nokia umts connection on the large hx4700 display albeit only wm5. gave me the opportunity to drive communication cost for my (former - no relation) employer to the fullest by doing terminal server sessions for troubleshooting whilst on vacation. without a modem or a decent keyboard i can not do this anymore with just the hx4700. wardriving or unapproved use of open networks is illegal in most of europe nowadays. in the Netherland not yet and it really suits me to roam in on somebodies open connection, but i'm affraid i have to go find other means of communications and the td has been the wrong choice from this point of view.

did you try bluemouse already? should work with every bluetooth-hid. also keyboards.

Too bad. looks good, but installer flashes by with some text stating "skipping...". too fast too read. whenever i pair the bt keyboard i get a serial port as interface but no bluemouse to be found anywhere in the menu;s or folders. seems bluemouse thinks it shouldn't be installed on this wm6. however it shows the license agreement at start and the read me when done.
further investigation learns that the installer finishes when using the cab download and installing both modules separately. reading the docs shows that the hid device should export input device service. the bt keyboard at hand only exports serial port... anybody got suggestions?

bluetooth keyboard in HD problem

when I connected HD with iGo Stowaway Ultra—Slim Keyboard, if I type too fast, HD couldn't follow my input, like I input work, HD only show k, only type very slow, HD can follow, but I try in Samsung I900, It works very good, how can I fix this problem

type slower! lol jk. I don't know. Didn't even realize I can connect the iGo keyboard to this. I'll be sure to give it a try.

I would also check for other BT devices, this problem gets worse if my laptop (with BT) is close. I obviously don't type fast enough as away from the laptop the problem goes away.

I have had this problem, and I am unsure how it was resolved (perhaps not helpful) but I shall speculate.
I had a think outside bluetooth keyboard, which had this exact problem with input that you describe. I have been having problems with three buttons not functioning for a month of so and they finally just stopped working altogether. I love the keyboard so I ordered a new IGO bluetooth keyboard, installed the drivers which came with it, and the keyboard works perfectly without lag.
NOW, my guess is that,
1) the driver is the issue (ie you need an upto date one)
2) I have installed the HD FREEZE FIX which was released. This COULD relate to the bluetooth keyboard as the prob with freezing occurred in the software keyboard while inputing data.
Perhaps this isn't very helpful, but I thought I'd ahre my experience with you and let you know that it WILL work, perhaps try one of the two methods above and see if it helps.

How to use X7500 without screen in the best way?

Hi,
I got HTC X7500, but the screen is broken and I don't want to spend 150usd for a new screen - I'm thinking of building the unit inside my car to use it as a GPS navigation, mp3 player, video player and other things like Internet browsing, but the only way how to get a picture is by connecting the device with a VGA out cable to for example a LCD monitor or something like that - I still haven't tried connecting my X7500 to any VGA input device.
My question is - how will I be able to control the HTC X7500 without screen - the joystick is one option, as I will have the device built in, I will be unable to use the HTC keyboard, but I could connect a bluetooth keyboard. Is there any way how to connect something like a mouse to X7500?
Thanks,
Karlis.

Stowaway Bluetooth mouse
Hi,
I have for some time now a Stowaway bluetooth keyboard and a Stowaway Bluetooth mouse.
They are both easy to use over bluetooth connection.
Google for it.
Good luck!

Might not be useful in-car, but if you are working on your screen-dead Athena in the house or with a notebook, this app is a killer. I use it every day.

T-mo Galaxy Tab works with Bt Keyboard!!

Damn.. its very nice,,!!
I was asking around and have searched the web to find out how to pair and connect my Tmo branded SGT with bluetooth keyboard for past few days, and now I got it working with my tab. I am typing this now with the apple bluetooth keyboard paired to my TAb.I have searched the web, and dound out that every devices with Froyo has built in HID BT device support. Thus, unless Samsung has removed that code from the os when they were coding, it should be there. People with G1, G2, Nexus, SGS were using the Bt keyboard out there already!! So I started to mass with my Bt keyboard and Tab to pair by trying every possible clicks..
So here comes what I have found so far and how to set it up with tmo SGT.
First, you have to turn on ur BT HID Keyboard to pairing mode X)
Second, you need to type the numbers required for the pairing with the keyboard numeric pad and click the enter with the keyboard. (This was where I first got confused since the tab has no screen to type on..)
Third, it will pair with ur Bt keyboard, but then it will fail to connect..
Don't be frustrated!. Here is the magic step. Got it? LONG PRESS THE DEVICE at the setting!! It will lead to the screen where you can choose whether 'connect, forget, or options'.
Fourth, click the options, Then check the connect and HID Device BOX!! That's it!
It will either directly connect with your keyboard or let you try again to connect.
And it connects! You can start typing with your Bt keyboard for ur TAB.
So simple..... can not believe that I have wasted past two days without being able to find out this simple step.(and many others were failing too!!...)
And since I was using the Apple BT keyboard. Here is what I have found so far regarding this specific device for my Tab.
1. Esc button works as back button on the Tab.
2. F1 button works as menu button on the Tab.
3. From the home screen, you can open google search by typing any words with the keyboard.
4. F3 button shows the message "this device does not have working dialer" box. :X
5. F4 turns off and on the screen of TAB
6. If you use languages other than english, you also can type in that language using Bt keyboard by simply pressing shift + space bar on the BT KEYBOARD.
However, to do so, you should install third party keyboard that supports physical keyboards..(for such as G1 or G2). Samsung default keyboard and google Korean IME( Obviously I am from Korea ) wouldn't allow me to do so. But some third party Korean keyboard and smart keyboard pro allowed me to do so.
That's it for now.
If I can find something else, I will update here as well...
Now I only need to wait for someone to hack this one to make voice call with 3G data.
Ps. Does anyone know good BT keyboard with track pad by chance? That way I may not need to get the mouse.... less devices to carry.... is always good.

On the VZW tab, theonly long press items are connect and unpair. There isn't an options.

Nice! Thanks for the info... you convinced me to head out and grab one.

that's weird... Once I paired it. then long press will show the option.
Of course, it wont show option menu until u actually pair it.
I thought verizon one had to be same as tmo one in most ways...
... by the way.. now I need to talk on the tab with 3g so that I can sell my galaxy s to make up the expanse for the tab. :S

I am having problems with my 3rd party bluetooth keyboard connecting. I did use the HID option, but it still will not connect. It does pair, but not connect.

Do you know if this process is supposed to work with other Bluetooth keyboards? I'm trying to connect a motorola keyboard and not having any luck.

I was able to get the Apple BT keyboard to connect to the SGT. Works great.
