hi there
I use a stowaway slim bluetooth keyboard for years now.
It worked nicely on my i780 and on all devices before.
but on the X1, it reacts slowly. biggest problem is that when i type a word, it recognizes the space bar key just a little too late, so instead of
"bob goes to school" i get something like "bobg oest os chool"...
especially if i type quick.
it works much better with the built in HID driver, but then i lose the nice layout. maybe somebody has built an AEKMap file for the stowaway slim?
somebody has an idea?
thanks
Bernhard

Hi,
I got a Palm Bluetooth wireless keyboard for Christmas but I can't get it working with my T-Mobile Ameo.
I have installed the keyboard drivers (http://www.palm.com/us/support/accessories/btwirelesskeyboard.html) and get a "wireless keyboard" icon in Programs. But when I click it and tick "Enable keyboard" the Ameo just hangs. The only thing I can do is take the battery out to reset it.
Anyone else found this? or fixed this?
The keyboard won't work via the normal Bluetooth pairing interface either.
Thanks,
Tom
Still no luck
I still haven't managed to get this Bluetooth keyboard working. Just thought I'd post some more details in case anyone was interested:
* Keyboard: Palm Wireless Keyboard (3245WW): http://www.amazon.co.uk/Palm-Wirele...4?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1199552934&sr=1-4
* Palm Keyboard software installed on Ameo: v1.1.0.2.
* Ameo OS: Windows Mobile 5.0.
Anyone know of a bluetooth keyboard that does work with the Ameo?
Replacement
I bought a replacement keyboard - It is the "Freedom Universal Keyboard" which I can report works ok with the Ameo. See http://www.tomfotherby.com/blog/ind...board-dec2007-christmas-present-from-grandpa/ for comments and installation instructions.
I ebayed the keyboard that didn't work (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270203021878).
I thought I'd post an update about the "Freedom Universal Keyboard" keyboard now I've been using it for a while with my Ameo. I no longer recommend it! There are 3 problems with it:
1) I have to pair it every time I turn my Ameo on and pairing is flaky (average of 10 minutes faffing around just to get a working connection). Pairing rarely works first time. You have to turn off other bluetooth devices. Sometimes I have to restart my Ameo multiple times. You get the picture.
2) You can't hold down shift to select text (vital for copy&paste).
3) The Home and End keys don't work (vital if you ever write long sentences).
Anyone found a good bluetooth keyboard yet?
i use the thinkoutside/igo bluetooth keyboard and mouse, i highly recommend them!!
the links below are to the direct website, but you can do a web search and find them much cheaper elsewhere.
the mouse
the keyboard
hope this works better for you, i have no complaints, enjoy!!
Hello everyone.
That's it. My "good" old Universal finally gave way to a brand new HTC Touch Diamond, as I changed phone provider. Since I am always reluctant to sell my old toys, I am trying to recycle the beast into something usefull.
The great thing about the touch diamond is that it is relatively small compared to the Uni, which makes it handy to carry around as the main phone. The down side of this is that typing on the touch screen isn't the most efficient input method around.
I am looking at various options like the virtual keyboard (a laser projected keyboard), a stowaway keyboard or other bluetooth options. They are expensive, though.
This is why I am writing this email: is there a known tool that would allow me to use the Universal as a bluetooth keyboard emulator? I have looked at Remote Commander, but it can only control a PC, which is not what I am looking for.
Please send your comments!
Thank you!!
Ohh i see. so you want to use the (big) keyboard on the universal to type out stuff to your htc touch diamond?
I dont know how you would do off hand. But thats an interesting idea. On the first glance though i wouldnt gain much benifit from the universal keyboard anyway maybe 2 times quicker. But if i did get the full size keybaord i could type maybe 10 times faster. But i see your point though that bluetooth keyboards are expenive. You could bit the bullet and sell your universal for exchange for a bluetooth keyboard (I would get a stowaway mainly because i touch type and you cant do it with a laser keyboard)
If you find a way to use your universal as a keyboard let me know how it turns out. Im pretty intrested on how it would work.
It's possible to use the hardware keyboard of xperia as a bluetooth keyboard (i.e for ps3)?
Like as bt mouse on diamond.

I'm sure it's possible - it's all pretty standard these days. Of course you would need the right dlls, but then again, the bluetooth fold up keyboard from stowaway (I still have one) didn't need dlls @ all - PNP it was!
Have you tried connecting a HW keyboard?
(p.s. think there was some discussion in Rapheal/Kaiser on this btw)
Have any1 tried it with a PS3?
Would love to have this too! Paid an arm and a leg for the phone, would be glad if it can help me not buy another computer hardware around the house!
I search a lot, but don't find anything.
It should use HID protocol for work, but it doesn't seems exist anything...
However as default don't work with ps3 or pc.
Would be nice I would certainly use it cause I need this actually on my ps3
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.

Hi all
I'm getting the HD2 next week
I have been using my Thinkoutside BT keyboard and BT mouse with earlier phones (Atom). However they do not work with my current phone (HD).
Can someone tell me whether the keyboard and mouse will work with the HD2? If so, how is it done.
Thanks
ThinkOutside keyboard and mouse
keyboard worked OK. mouse didn't. Interesting message from the HD2

So, we cannot connect bluetooth mouse on HD2? Any solution?!
Teksoft are working on modifying their BT stack to work with Broadcom. When they get it working you will be able to fully use your mouse and keyboard with both the HD and HD2.
Paul.
That's good news! Hope will release soon..
Hi
I refer to your post of July 2006 re bt mouse working on HD2. Is there any update on this? In case any link is available, please do let me know.
Cheers
Hi again. Sorry, that should read: post of December 15th, (not July 2006!!).
hi
I look also for a solution, to use my bluetooth mouse with my hd2, is it posible to use another bluetooth stack with the hd2
BT keyboard and mouse for HD2
Hi all
Any update on Teksoft working on the Broadcom BT stack to enable use of Thinkoutside BT keyboard and mouse with Leo?
Cheers
Can we work togheter to get this?
I think it would be really great if we can add keyboard and mouse support to hd2 a day.
Think about use internet through an amazing little pc! Maybe hd2 could become the smallest netbook on the market!
What can we try?
I am really impatient it finds a resolution.
thinking about wireless I had in mind to use BT.
What if we look for WiFi? Or USB as host?

yes it could be great but the problem is that someone explained that bluetooth driver is not fully compatible with mouses... so if I understood well keyboard can be used but mouse no!
From what I remember my BT mouse worked fine with my HD2 but I need to test that again to be sure.

please can you test it again and say what mouse model you used? also did you try to use keyboard and mouse at the same time?
Hi,
I can confirm that my stowaway (or DELL) bluetooth keyboard works with the HD2, but I have not found a driver for the German keyboard layout. Any ideas?

I think about some registry tweak. Try to look at it also on the forum.
Sometimes when you flash WWE roms on a GER/ITA/... keyboard there can be keyboard layout problems. Some time ago I found the how to map the right keyboard here on xda.
Nice
