[Q] Bluetooth keyboard on froyo for slate computer - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

I recently bought an ExoPC (Windows 7 slate computer) which tied in very well with me getting my replacement HD2. I would like to use the HD2 (running froyo) as a bluetooth keyboard for my slate device so I can run certain applications at full screen. I have seen many applications that use wifi to hook up but nothing bluetooth. Wifi is no good as this device is used on the train/ tube/car so no wifi is available.
Any suggestions (sorry if this is in wrong area)

GRemote Pro.
I use it so I can control the PC I built into the dash of my truck in addition to the PC that I use as a DVR for my television. It can connect over both WiFi and Bluetooth.

2.4G wireless mini keyboard and android?

I just saw this keyboard mentioned as a good keyboard for an HTPC. But I'm wondering if anyone believes it will work with an android phone w/o a physical keyboard, like the Hero
http://www.tomtop.com/24g-wireless-mini-keyboard-with-touchpad-black-c709b_p10332.html
It connects via wireless 2.4g, and it does support linux:
System requirement:
-Windows 2000
-Windows XP
-Windows Vista ,windows CE,windows 7
-Linux(Debian-3.1,Redhat-9.0 Ubuntu-8.10 Fedora-7.0 tested)
Just an out-of-the-box idea, or fantasy, whatever you wanna call it.
I think we would have better chances if it were bluetooth.
I dunno but I'm thinking about buying one of these for my pc but I would definitely try it with my hero.

Bluetooth mice on Windows 8

Hello,
I have Windows 8 Release preview installed on my tablet (Dell Latitude XT3). I previously had Consumer Preview installed on this one and on my previous tablet (HP 2740p).
Everything I have tried has had issues with my Bluetooth mouse. It will work for about 5 minutes then just disconnect. I have to turn the mouse or the Bluetooth off and back on for it to reconnect. If I go into device manager and turn off power saving for the Bluetooth module this no longer happens.
The mouse I use is the Dell PU705 Bluetooth travel mouse. I have no other Bluetooth mouse to try out. Does anyone else have any experience with Bluetooth mice on Windows 8?
I don know if Apple mice are universal but you can try them. Try Logitech mice, they are also good. (the suggestion of Apple mice is serious)
Oh, and Microsoft also makes their own mice, Im 100% sure those will work.
Sorry, did I read that correctly? By changing the power management options it works? If so whats the problem? You don't want to turn off the power saving options? Sorry but I'm not clear what the issue is, power saving or initial turn of with power saving on?
Sent from my HD2 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
I just want to know if someone here has used a Bluetooth mouse with their Windows 8 computer and if it's been fine or not. If there are other mice that don't have issues, I'll look into one of those.
I don't want to disable the power saving on the Bluetooth because it causes a very noticeable loss of battery life.
No one has used a bluetooth mouse on their Windows 8 PC?

If Windows 8 is running in a VM then your test doesn't give any useful information because it is Mac OS handling the mouse, not Windows 8.

I have a Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse, it is working well right from the installation
I had no problems with system sleeping and waking up the system with Mouse.
Options for power save for the mouse is off, I suspect because it is a desktop
The Arc Touch mouse is not Bluetooth, it's just proprietary wireless.
Please, only comment if you have a Bluetooth mouse and not running Windows 8 in a VM, all other mice are irrelevant.

[Q] Can't BT Pair N7 (4.2.2) to Windows 7 (x64)

I have a 16GB Nexus 7 with XenonHD 4.2.2 Rom, and I cannot pair it with my Windows 7 (x64) desktop, either with the desktop looking for it and pairing or from the N7 finding the Desktop and Pairing.
But I can pair with my Macbook running OSX Lion and send a file from the Macbook to the N7.
And I can also pair the N7 to my T-Mobile G2 (HTC Desire-Z) running ILWT CM7 to use for Bluetooth Internet Tethering.
And I can successfully pair with my iPad (it'll pair, but it doesn't support any actual functions)
But alas, I cannot pair with my Windows 7 Desktop, any advice on where to look to solve the problem?
I got it to pair by moving the BT adapter to a different USB port, but even with it paired, there are no services listed under the services tab. There's a direct connect option but it does nothing other than show it connected, and then disconnects. So there appears to be no bluetooth functionality between the N7 and windows (such as file sharing, etc).

NEW Logitech K600 Wireless Keyboard

https://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/k600-smart-tv-keyboard
Supports three devices and six platforms. Connects via included Logi Unifying Receiver (UR) or Bluetooth (BT) to Samsung Smart TV, LG Smart TV, Android TV/Android mobile devices (Fire TV), Windows, macOS, iOS, and Chrome OS
I initially set it up for WebOS on my LG OLED with its included USB UR as Device 1. Then got it connected by BT to my FireTV Cube as Device 2. Remembered I had a spare older UR for my K400 that I was using on my FireTV so set it up with the Cube as Device 3. I'll get around to ditching the Cube BT connection.
The setup is a little obscure. If you have Windows, the easiest way is to use Logi's UR Connector app and set it up on the PC and then move the UR to what you want to control.
