Hi,
I have an HTC Titan and a microsoft mobile bluetooth keyboard 6000.
I cannot get the keyboard and phone connected.
The Titan does recognize the keyboard, and when I try to couple them together the recognition fails, because I cannot access the code from the keyboard.
Normally on other smartphones a random code is given which I have to type on the keyboard and then submit using enter. Every number entered is dotted to verify a key is typed. This time the htc Titan asks for a code. unfortunately the keyboard does not have a screen, so I do not know the number. Also making up a randon numer on the phone and vice versa on the keyboard also doesn't work. I think this is a bug.
Does anyone know a solution or fix for this problem?
Thanks.
Problem seems to be that an HID profile is not supported with bluetooth on the HTC Titan, according to HTC.
Does anyone know a fix, workaround or third party solution to this issue?
Thanks.
Bluetooth can be used for the handsfree only.WP7 not supported bluetooth keyboard etc
It isnt supported
When you pair the 6000 with the Titan, if it was supported you would enter a code like 00000 on the phone and press pair, and then on the keyboard press 00000 and <ENTER> on the keyboard. After you do this you see that the phone says it is not supported.
This is something WP7 should really enable, I have not heard plans yet to add this feature in. I hope it does as the Titan has an awesome screen and would be perfect for this.
glad I read this before buying a Bluetooth keyboard this Saturday. Shame. Because they are half price at my local store.
I contacted HTC, they will look into it.
There's nothing to look into. WP7 does not support BT keyboard or mouse.

I've the Microsoft Bluetooth Keyboard 6000 and trying to pair with the motorola atrix 4G. For some reason it instead of asking me to type a number on the keyboard to pair like how Android OS is, it asks me to enter a 4 digit pin such as 0000 or 1234. How do I pair non Motorola Bluetooth keyboard to Atrix? Thanks in advance.
Enter the numeric pin on the atrix, and then physically type the same number and hit Enter on the BT keyboard. That's how it's been on every BT keyboard I've ever used. As a matter of fact, I did the very same thing with the very same keyboard this morning. The same applies to the separate number keypad.

I have tried to pair the Playstation 3 Keypad but not successful. It's the keypad where it has a built-in touch pad on the keypad area. So I can use the keypad and as a touch pad all in one tiny device.
Make sure to check the "make device discoverable" when you pair.
Hit scan for devices, select the keyboard, enter 0000 or 1234 hit enter, then right after enter the same code on your keyboard and press enter and you should be paired. I've paired both my ps3 wireless Bluetooth keypad and a normal Microsoft Bluetooth keyboard this way with no issues.

Thank you sooooo much for this tip...I've been searching all over the net for this because I didn't want to buy a $70.00 keyboard when I can buy one for $20-30.
So I bought M$ bt keyboard 6000 and followed your instructions and worked without any apps.
Had to be quick, but worked!
Thanks!
Anyway to disable that annoying accent character popup when typing on a bluetooth keyboard?
I'm using a TP with CM7 3.5 with a Motorola BT KB. I'v googled this to death and haven't found any solutions.
I tried null keyboard. Don't work.
Can't find anything in settings.
Anyone know?
Thx
I have the same issue with the motor kbd. I believe the issue is in the kbd software not the tp.

I called Motorola and Logitech (I have both keyboards and have the same issue with both) about the popup boxes. Both companies told me that it is a function of the operating system and is not hard coded into the keyboards. They said we should look into a software solution as the keyboard does not have the accent popup feature. Maybe this is a thing for the devs.

I just noticed you get a accent box popup when long pressing the on screen keyboard.
There has to be some way to change this.
thabksssssss
I installed the Go Keyboard app and no longer get the accent box popup.
I just wish there was an app that would get rid of it. Or someone figure out how change the setting in Android.
I like using the BT KB with null keyboard. Which has no onscreen keyboard.
When using a BT KB with go keyboard, holding the shift does not capitalize letters. You have to tap the shift key once to capitalize. You can't hold it. I emailed the authors to try to get them to fix that.
I tried a few other addon keyboards and they all have that stupid popup.
My wife's android phone with a physicial keyboard phone gets the same accent popup.
The BlueInput soft doesn't have that problem.
I think you needed to pair the keyboard with their software and not with the buildit android one, but after that it doesn't show the annoying pop when long press on the keyboard keys.
I use it with one of those mini BT keyboards and works fine.

YES! This works properly! Thx a LOT!
BlueInput doesn't work reliably. Mouse would not work with it. Uninstalled.

Only tried with the crappy keyboard, but good to know that it doesn't pick the mouse.
I'm guessing the batteries in my mouse were almost dead. Even without Blueinput installed, mouse would not stay connected. I'v only had this mouse since Saturday. It came with Everready Energizers. This Motorolla mouse has an indicator that is supposed to flash orange when the batts are low, it didn't. So I thought they were still good.
After reading some reviews on some BT mice, some said the batts died really fast. So I installed some fresh duracell's today and mouse is working fine. I'll keep the switch off when not using it this time.
So I reinstalled Blueinput and just connected the KB through it. Left the mouse connected through android. I'm pretty sure the mouse would work through Blueint now with the fresh batts.
Just got myself a new BT keyboard with an integrated mouse, as you said, when paring/connecting using the BlueInput driver the mouse doesn't work which kind of sucks 8)
I found some another driver does appear to work fine (at least it allows me to use both the keyboard and mouse at the same time without the annoying "accent" popup window.
BlueKeyboard JP

Still need to test a play a little bit more (see which layout fits my keyboard) but I think is more usable with this driver than the original/build-in CM7 one.

Works well. I have seen this before. Not sure why I didn't try it. Maybe I thought it was Japanese only. IDK. Tried so many.
Are you getting this when clicking on an iput box?
The setting of "selected keyboard" is not found.
It still works everytime. Just weird.
Oh I figured out that error. I had to actually select the kb in Bluekeyboard JP settings. I didn't select it before. I could see it there. I though it was already selected. It wasn't.
Another thing I noticed. When you select your BT KB in "Connecting process" in Bluekeyboard JP settings, everytime you click on an input box, there is a message box saying "connecting.. don't touch the keyboard yet". The KB still worked while that message was displayed.
I got rid of that by unchecking "Connecting process" in settings.
So now it works with no message boxes.
Blueinput JP FC's on every boot...
I normally use Hacker's Keyboard and change to the BT one when I connect the extenal keyboard,
just done a quick reboot and no FCs.
Still I think is good enough for me, I read somewhere than since Android 3.1 the keyboard is handled a litlle diferente (no more bin files for each keyboard, just plain text) so maybe whenever ICS is out we can have a better option 8) (xmast wish hehe)
Bluekeyboard JP works perfectly on CM9! No more FC's. Reconnects nicely.
I mistakenly called it Blueinput JP a couple of posts above.
I'm trying to pair my bluetooth keyboard, which worked perfectly under Gingerbread, but will not pair under ICS. Basically, the keyboard will not go into pairing mode until I give it a pin, and ICS won't give me the pin until the keyboard is pairing. Is there any way to tell ICS what pin to expect before trying to pair? This is the sequence I am doing:
1. Put keyboard in discoverable mode.
2. Select the keyboard in the bluetooth menu.
3. Type in a pin on the keyboard and hit enter.
4. A dialog comes up on the tablet telling me what pin to use to pair. (I have to type in the pin in the keyboard for this to come up)
5. Pairing fails after about 1/4 of a second.
Anyone I have the same thing. Get a pop up for a quarter of a second that has a pin but I can't enter it or even read it and then fail.
Please been looking for a solution for a while.
HP Touchpad CM9 4.03
I've downgraded to cyanogenmod 7, and am purchasing a case with a built in keyboard that hopefully does not share the issue. I think these are the only two options.
Bluetooth keyboard in ics
Hi all, I hope I'm in the right area, I have android ics, when I go to pair a Bluetooth keyboard, I put the keyboard into pairing mode and then search on the phone. The phone finds the keyboard and sais please enter the pin code on the keyboard, and press enter, wichita I do and the message on the phone disappears and the keyboard seems to be pairs, but when you look at the keyboard the pairing light is still flashing. The keyboard works great on my partners...dare I say it iPad, but I can not get it to work in ics. I've tried blueinput, blue keyboard jp ,but neither of these program's seem to help. The can see the keyboard but don't seem to connect to them. Any help would be appreciated. To me it seems as tho the keyboard is not receiving an acceptance message from the phone to say connected.

I would venture to say this is a device specific issue. I'd recommend going to the forum for your particular device and replying to a six month old post there that is vaguely related to your issue.
I have looked through the forums, and havnt found anything that helps. I have tried different programs and possible fixes. To no avail. I have a generic phone with ics so rooting may not b an option. One thing i have noticed is ics automatically generates a bluetooth access key. Is there a way to change this to manually choose or enter a pass key. I think this may be part of my problem. Or possibly fix the issue i have. Any thoughts.

Hi, I have just purchased logitech k810, but I can't pair with stock 3.2.1 HTC Flyer wifi ed., but when I'm about to pair it, the PIN dialog does not appear, getting an timeout after a minute or an "incorrect PIN" if I type any PIN per deffect (as 0000) so I can't pair it.
I emailed both Logitech and HTC, and got an email from HTC saying probably it could be not compatible (thing I don't believe), and Logitech says they think is something about my SO, but they can't confirm if there are any issue (as many people has same troubles, but no one had post any fix) with the keyboard.
The flyer does recognize label and keyboard model, and does show "conecting" message, but no PIN code dialog, so I am almost sure is a bug on android 3.2.1 or so. Logitech says it does work for Android 3.X for sure, and I have a chinesse keyboard working on the tablet...
does enyone know how to fix it?
I tried getting the Samsung Note keyboard to run on this and was unable. Currently using gboard and got voice typing to work most of the time. But I am really interested in getting the Note 8 keyboard on this device with the Google voice dictation button in the bottom-left. I saw some post about getting a small version of it but if anyone has any ideas please let me know. I'm on the Chinese version by the way.
Not sure this helps much, but, my Mate Se works with my logitech wireless keyboard and mouse. I bought them for my laptop (use them all the time with it).
But most android devices can see them also. The 'unifying receiver' has to be done under windows (couldn't update it even under linux), but once programmed, works on the Se. I did need to change the Se usb connection type to 'midi', but then all works fine.
That's the thing with a tablet or phone. There may be rare occasions a keyboard and mouse might be needed (voice typing works great basically). It's difficult to justify spending a bunch for a keyboard for that device alone.
