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!!
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
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
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

I like devices with a sense of humor. Normaly they're non-MS though.
Hey,
Does anyone know how to get a bluetooth keyboard (microsoft wireless entertainment 7000) to work with SE Arc? Woud be great to hook phone up to TV and use that to browse web......Also pairing a mouse would be pretty handy feature?
I've researched it, and apparently Androind 2.3 does have a HID implementation but its not simply a case of activating in the UI?
Cheers!
