How to use X7500 without screen in the best way? - Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General

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.

controll my universal with another ppc?

So I have a Universal and a Wizard. I prefer the Universal to use as MP3 player cause it has a normal headphone jack so i can use my Sony headphones rather than the crappy headphones that comes with the wizard. The only thing is that the universal lack of hardware buttons and its hard to reach them while in my pocket cause the universal is abit big. I've done some research before to find a "media remote control" for my universal like on the psp or minidisc. Since I coudnt fint it i bounced into that credit card sized mini bluetooth keyboard! Since the keyboard is that expensive and i dont need a BT keyboard... made me come on the idea of using the wizards keyboard and/or hardware buttons to controll my universal via BT. So my question is, is there such app to do this? I've been searching on google but only fond VNC and TSC like apps, and I couldnt find anything either on this forum. I hope someone can help me out [:
im not sure about ppc but if you pair the universal and a se k700i you can control the universal with it using the remote control app that comes with it
Get something like this:

You can control your Uni's media player and can use your custom SONY headset.
Also, there is other similar product which I like better (look for the R35):

Palm wireless keyboard not working

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!!

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?

Hardware keyboard as bluetooth keyboard?

It's possible to use the hardware keyboard of xperia as a bluetooth keyboard (i.e for ps3)?
Like as bt mouse on diamond.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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

Wizard Keyboard bluetooth keyboard for PS3

Hi all
Well I know this is a bit of an odd one but thought would be very cool if anyone had any idea how to do this
I've got an old fully functional k-jam in the cupboard and was thinking of buying a Logitech Dinovo mini Bluetooth keyboard for my Playstation 3, when I thought to myself hey the K-jam has a mini keyboard and bluetooth couldnt these somehow be reprogrammed so that the keyboard output could be output via bluetooth to be used by the PS3.
Would be brilliant if anyone has any ideas
This would be pretty damn cool
so anyone have any ideas how this could be done
Got this working upgrade my ROM to the CR86 Touch HD2.1 ROM installed Mobile remote and it works perfectly as a bluetooth keyboard on my PC, Netbook, and PS3. £99 save on the Logitech Dinovo.
It's good to hear that man
