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.

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.
I'm using Bluetooth serial communication. With the new HD2, HTC shipped their own BT stack. Every time I open the serial port, a popup appears to choose the desiered remote serial port. I never got this on my old wm phones. The port is already mapped in the HTC BT software. Why is it asking every time I open the port? Has anybody noticed this too. And is there any workaround for automate this, like it was in the good old MS BT stack?
Please have a look at the attached screenshot.
anybody has an idea?
Hi,
I got the same problem, everytime I start iGO8 witch wants to connect my TMC receiver the popup appears. very annoying. Did you ever solve the problem?
TIA
Cheers

Same problem here. I sent a request to the HTC support today. Damn WIDCOMM Bluetooth-Stack.
No, I didn't found a solution.
I don't think thats a Widcom stack.
I got a reply from the HTC Support today. They told me that this behavior is windows mobile specific.
I thought a bit about the problem. If we knew where the routine is which displays the window, we would be able to modify it to always use comN and close the window. Does anyone have a clue where we could find it?

I think that HTC isn't telling us the truth. I own serveral WM devices. They all come with the MS bluetooth stack and none of them had this popup screen. I heared that HTC build their own BT stack.

Hmmm that is nice... i try to contact by telephone people from HTC CZ Support today, to find solution with them, expect that they will help. in about information in BTstack is not described who is manufacturer.
The HD2 has the Widcomm (later called Broadcom) stack.
I had a small problem with my foldable bluetooth keyboard, but that has to do with the driver of the BT keyboard.
Yesterday I paired a car kit (some chinese mp3/without any problem. Not tried to pair other devices yet.
i think that this is problem of some dynamic library that BT is using. btw. what is version of your bt? i got Ver. 1.9.3 bulid 500 HCI ver 4.168 and LMP ver. 4.16919. So i asked HTC second time for help with this. will see
I have got the same BT Version.
Did HTC respond to your question?
If this all doesn't help us, i will write a program which connects tmc and starts navigation aftwards. I am trying to get information on this bluetooth programming stuff.
hmmm not yet will see tomorrow
Same version here.
so HTC replayed! nice now we know that they know, hope that this is start how to solve this problem. unfortunately how i know these companies, it will be not early :-(
Dear Ondrej, Thank you for contacting us. In regards to the pop up message on HTC HD2: It is not possible to remove this pop-up (We don't support editing the registry it will breach your warranty). I will escalate the issue to the HTC Head office. Please do not hesitate to contact us again if required. Thank you for contacting HTC. Best regards, Bo K

Did anybod find a solution to this problem yet?
I'm trying to connect my Dell BT Keyboard to my Fuze. I go through the pairing process by using the passcode "1234" on the phone, then typing it into the keyboard and pressing enter, and it reports a successful pairing. However, in the list of bluetooth devices, the Dell BT Keyboard is listed under "disconnected" and when I go into it, it does not list any services as being available.
Is this keyboard just incompatible, or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!
did your keyboard confirm connection? like blinking led or something?
Im using Logitech Dinovo Edge and it worked just fine
it works for me...

No, the keyboard didn't blink, but when I put the passcode in incorrectly it errored out.
I've since given up, I'll get a different brand kb
I had my PS3 keyboard working great on my topaz( same bt as HD2?). I was using an energy rom and I had to install BT_HID.cab file and it paired and worked great is was handy as hell. I could play galaga, Dial the phone from across the room, using ear peice, texting was wonderful,etc. All new roms I try on my hd2 (energy, kumar, mirri, elgoncia) non will allow paring of keypad.
The phone sees the keypad, starts to pair , the phone gives me a number to type in the keypad and the keypad leaves paring mode and an error occurs. I tried the bt_hid.cab file on all roms and still no luck. If I had it workind my HD2 would be perfect for me. I want to know if the bt from my topaz can be put on my HD2? or maybe the bluetooth manager? Any help would be greatly appreciated, and it doesnt seem to difficult because topaz and hd2 have same similar bluetooth stack and software if I am correct. It seems a lot of people would like this fixed or patched. I am going to write down what version of what works on topaz and start there. Please help me OBi Wan HaHA

Not sure if this will help you , but other BT keyboards do work on the HD2 so, do not think it is actually an HID driver issue, I use an apple BT keyboard, and a Logitech DiNovo, both work very well ... I had one issue with the keyboard that was very close to what you see with yours, I took the batteries out of the keyboard overnight, it paired the next morning without a problem ....
Might help, might not ....
thanks
Thanks for the input. Tell me why there is a great number of people wanting tekosoft to adapt to broadcomm for Hd2 . Loads of people waiting for someting that worked great on my topaz. I have tried the reset button on the keypad. The phone spits out a 5 digit code and the pairing lights on keypad go out. I have tried lots of options. The bluetooth manager looks very different on hd2 than it does on topaz. Since the hd2 sees the keypad it seems like it might be easy fix since I have both phones to tinker with. What rom are you using?
Has anyone made any progress on this i would love to get this working on my hd2
if it pairs the same as the ps3 controller, this might be a workaround:

hey guys,
is there a way to pair a bluetoothkeyboard with the defy? And is there a cable to pair the defy with a tv?
Mfg.Homer
As for the cable to TV, I don't think so.
But wouldn't any Bluetooth keyboard just pair with the Defy, or is that dependent on some profile that is not present on the Defy? I.e. do you own a keyboard and can't make it work, or do you just want to know if it would work?
There is a keyboard from "HAMA" which works...but you need any add-on...

Tried a chinese bluetooth kb ... driver didn´t work.
3rd party drivers did somehow, but have been a pain in the ass in daily use.
Hardware keyboard which would be best in thinking of energy doesn´t because of missing USB Host.
Still: Defy ist the best phone I ever had ... but the road is loohooong ...
A quick Google search suggests there are enough keyboards to choose from. Just check if there is an Android driver and you should be fine.
Don't really get why one would want a keyboard though. It kind of undoes the portability and it seems a hassle to use. Don't get me wrong: I loved the keyboard on my old HTC Wizard. But that one was integrated in the phone which might be a better option for you as well!

- because you need some sort of time machine to get another waterproof mobile with a querty keyboard.
I would have liked a micro one for a adventure trip to proper blog and chat - the phones are nearly usable for that.
It works with Froyo !
Sorry for such a late post. Anyway, I bought this cheap BT keyboard some time ago. Whilst running the stock Eclair ROM, I had to use 3rd party applications to handle it, but never without lots of issues. I had bought it for test purposes, since Android was not listed as a supported platform. But after I flashed Froyo (in my case, the 3.4.3-11 UK ROM), the keyboard just works as it should. After it was paired (the digit sequence specified on the phone - I chose the widely known 0000 - must be entered in the BT keyboard, followed by <Enter>), I just turn the keyboard on (with the Defy's BT radio also turned on, of course) and press any key. The bluetooth link is immediately established, and I'm able enter data to any applications through it.
Just my 2 cents...
Regards,
Carlos
good news
thanks4info.
I will jump on the CM7 train as soon as (a)gps is ok and will try there.
Still hoping to get usb host running, as other projects successfully activated it per software. Will post results after playing around with CM7.

Wow! For a long time, there was no posts at all in this thread. Ok, back to business. You see, I'm running CM10 too. In fact, due to some issues, I'm still on Quarx 11/17 build. Anyway, until I saw your post, my keyboard was forgotten in a drawer. I took it off, turned it on, pressed a key, and, although it was already paired with the phone, an entry in the status bar came up, which, upon being tapped, asked me to either allow or deny the connection. After a couple of times answering 'Yes', the bluetooth icon, in the status bar, turned blue, and, from that point on, all the text I entered was correctly taken by the phone, without any issues. Have you gone through this phase as well?
EDIT: have just flashed Quarx's CM10.1 05/27 build. Couldn't find a way to make my BT keyboard work with it. Haven't tried his CM10 new buiild, but as they seem to share all the radio (BT, Wifi) parts, it is most probable that it won't work there either. I'm already back to his 11/17 build.
there's some keybords that works, but it depends on the ROM too.
I had a chinese one, and it was a lot better to type than the touch keyboard, but, for me it wasn't very useful because I was unable to use some accents, and I usualy type in Portuguese.
