Hi !
I have a Sony Xperia Tablet and tried to pair it with my Apple Bluetooth keyboard. It pairs and shows up on the tablet but there is no input.
Tried in different apps that allow typing but cannot get it to function at all!
Any advice welcomed!

I had a similar problem with the Sony Tablet S and Apple keyboards.
Eventually, I ended up using a Logitech Bluetooth Keyboard and it works fine.
thanks for your reply VitaZora,
I have the case with the built in keyboard, but I am still interested to know why my Apple Bluetooth Keyboard will pair but will not work.
Any ideas?

Maybe no support for such keyboard?
Probably Apple products are only supported with the same brand (iPad etc.)

Yes, pity about that.
Does anyone know a way to get it to work? It works with my Sony Xperia S mobile phone but looks rather silly!!
I have an original Samsung 7" tablet and the Apple Keyboard works fine with it!
I have a simple stand for the Xperia Tablet and, alongside it, the Apple Keyboard looks so cool!
edit - Cradle arrived today! Ordered through Sony and had an delivery date for next Tuesday or Wednesday!! :laugh::laugh::laugh:
I think these look good together, so shame keyboard doesn't work!

Well, there is a support list in a file and there is a keyboard input file I seen in some directory (Which i forgot XP) but yeah, the input file probably updated with more input codes

I got my Apple Keyboard working by using an app called BlueInput https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teksoftco.android.blueinput&hl=en and it works just fine.
The trial version works buit puts "BlueInput" in your text every now and then but I believe you can pay for a version which removes this.
Good luck!
Thanks, it worked, but the connection seemed to be unstable. Second time I tried to use the keyboard, I had to re-pair it, so I will probably not use it. Shame it doesn't work on the stock Tablet S out of the box
I downloaded the app Null Keyboard. My Apple keyboard works perfectly with my Tablet S; using it daily

Does anyone know of a bluetooth keyboard that works with their folio 100? I've been looking at the ones from Freedom, but it seems that the drivers are only beta.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
The Logitech diNovo Edge works perfect on Folio 100 with FolioMod v1.4
Cheers
Apple ..
The Bluetooth Keyboard works like a chram, though if you like to use the numeric Keypad it lacks some Functions.
The Trackpad as PointDevice should also be working if you install Support for Pointing Devices. Dunno wich App you might be using but there are several.
*self-edit*
If the Keyboard puts out weird Chars once connected you should try pressing [fn]+ [f6] cos thats like on a Notebook Keypad if the blue Numeric Part is active.
can you use the keyboard from apple on the folio? or on any android tablet or phone? can you use this keyboard on a windows computer?
I use the Microsoft Bluetooth® Mobile Keyboard 6000. It works great.

(also it is swiss no matter what its allways quality *nono im not saying that because im swiss )
cons: its a lil heavy for that size (hu who care in fact xD )
also all the blue fn secondary button function are working perfectly.
the retailer was going mad saying "nananah its for iPad and iPad only not for worth nothing toshicrap tab" i was about to punch him but i said "did apple put a patente on bluetooth? nope so they cant lock that product for the iPad only, so it will works on my Folio aswell" i understand he was meaning iPad roxx andropad suckzzz but failled to argue with me in the end... we all Know only some chinese copy sucks *iPad or andropad copy*
man ... i really love fanboy and their non objective opinion...

Hi ! I bought a simple bluetooth keyboard and checked youtube for instructions to make it work. It works with AAA batteries and it's quite cheap (20 euros maybe or less)
Does the Photon only work with the Motorola BT keyboard? I have tried 2 BT keyboards I already have and I cannot get them to pair with the phone. I tried both the 0000 and 1234 passkeys the phone tells me but neither works. Neither of my keyboards came with passkeys. Thanks in advance for any help you folks can offer.
I just paired mine to an Apple Wireless Keyboard (bluetooth) that I had laying arond and it worked fine.
Random note about pairing an apple keyboard though:
After the phone asks you to put in a pin number and you hit ok, immediately type the same pin into the keyboard and hit enter. Then it will pair fine.
Hmm I will have to give that entering the key on the keyboard a try.
Yup that did the trick. I am using the Targus tablet keyboard and I did as you said, I entered the passkey on the phone and as soon as I hit OK I entered the same number on the keyboard and hit enter and boom I was in business. Only thing though I don't know if your using SPb 3D shell but I had to uninstall it because everytime I connect the keyboard the whole SPB shell crashes. Anyone else using SPB 3D shell experience this?
Sorry, I'm not using that. Is it a launcher? I'm using launcher pro.

Best product I have seen for portability/functionality: Logitech diNovo Mini
In theory, should any keyboard that properly implements canonical Bluetooth HID work with the Photon (at least, well enough to work properly with Connectbot, including cursor keys)? Or in more concrete terms, has anybody found a Bluetooth HID keyboard that worked with Cyanogen, but DIDN'T work as expected on a Photon with stock firmware?
(by the way, I'm also open to suggestions for a keyboard that can be non-awkwardly pocketed, and is suitable for both panic-stricken sysadmin work with Connectbot involving bash & SQL *and* casual web browsing while eating at BK. I could almost deal with one that's "phone-like" as long as the center-to-center key pitch is at least as wide as the Epic, it has a number row, and the symbols are in the right places... but with more empty space surrounding the keys so I won't have to press with my fingertip to avoid pressing an adjacent key. I'd totally kill for the folding Jorno KB I saw on Wired & Gizmodo, but it looks like THAT one won't actually be available until 2012 even though they started sending out press releases and demo units last year).
Update: does anybody have an opinion (good, bad, awesome-if-it-worked-but-it-doesn't, etc) about this particular keyboard:
http://www.dracotek.com/bluetooth-w...e-smartphones-pc-laptop-and-more-bfkip01.html
It looks like the latest incarnation of the 4-way folding keyboard design that's been around since at least the Palm V (now, with bluetooth and USB-recharged lithium battery). I really like it (on paper, at least), because it's the only keyboard like this I've ever found that has all the keys I care about in the right places. I've been lusting after a keyboard like this for literally years, but it seems like my phones have always been one version away from compatibility with it (sigh). Now that I have a phone that literally knows how to deal with proper Bluetooth HID out of the box, I'm dying to finally buy one the moment I have an excuse to believe it's likely to work ;-)
I picked up the Official Moto Keyboard at Target for $48 - Normally $69.99 - it was marked as clearance - couldn't pass it up
Connected and works very well with the Hacked webtop

That worked with the CE Compass Mini Bluetooth as well. If only the documentation had mentioned that critical step.
The CE Compass bluetoothhas a mouse ponter control, uses AAA batteries, and is cheaper than Logitech but probably not as robust.
It is about half the size of an iPad. So it could go into a big pocket.
Thanks to follow
Well, for what it's worth, I've successfully paired and used both a DiNovo keyboard and MX900 mouse. I haven't bought a pocketable keyboard though. At the moment, I'm trying to find an app compatible with the Hero that can emulate a real, honest to god Bluetooth HID keyboard and Mouse (99% of the apps in Android Market don't emulate HID, and require a special server app that doesn't work on phones/tablets at the other end). If I can get the Hero to work and pair with my Photon as its keyboard/mouse, I'll be psyched... I already own it, it's just sitting in a drawer anyway, it's half the size of actual pocketable bluetooth keyboards with mouse capabilities, and I can do Graffiti on it instead of fumbling with keys scaled for a midget

the first one is the cheapest. i believe the other ones are just a lil newer. just make sure u order bluetooth and not 2.4ghz.
Those look nice but don't need a touch pad tho. I never use webtop not found myself ib a situation to need to use webtop since my laptop is always near by. I'm just looking for a mini keyboard that will work.

Hi,
I recently got my Galaxy Tab. Having around an Apple wireless keyboard and a Magic Mouse, I decided to give them a try with the tab (I know it is a little ironic to use those two together given the legal war that is going on between the two companies ).
The keyboard worked perfectly (it paired and connected at first try).
The mouse also paired and connected at first try, but it just doesn't work. I am not getting a cursor, as it happens on my gf's GT P1000.
Anyone ever tried or made it work with an apple mouse or any other bluetooth mouse? Any ideas or workarounds? Thanks!
Regards,
Marius
Yes,...it works fine
I have a the Kensington Slimblade BT mouse and it works fine. This maybe a bit old technology, since I have it more than a year (using it also on my laptop)
I also have the small Apple BT keyboard - and it also works....sort-of. Sometimes te keys seems to get stuck and since it is created for the Apple envirnment, there are some 'dead keys' and some options missing.
I use my Dell compact BT mouse with no issues. I also use a Logitech diNovo keyboard. The two BT devices almost turn my GTab into a mini desktop.
The Apple Magic Mouse won't work...this is a known issue. It will pair but that's it.
The Apple Bluetooth Keyboard works fine with the 10.1. I've had no problems and like using it.
I've had no problems with Mircosoft's 5000 Bluetooth mouse pairing and operating the Tab. It makes for a great remote control!
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I have a similar issue. I bought a Speedlink Snappy SL-6158 Bluetooth mouse for approx 10 dollar and was thrilled to see it work on my Galaxy S3, so I thought it would work on my Tab2 as well. Wrong thinking. It paires just fine, but it will not show a cursor and does not react on the buttons.
Is there any solution for this problem, or did I just wasted 10 bucks?

Could you tell me what type of mouse this is?
And can anybody tell me if this can be solved by rooting and using a custom rom?
Looking for Bluetooth keyboard recommendations.
Tried a Freedom with an old blackberry I had (way back when), but didn't function very well.
Seriously doubt it would work with my SGS2, but I'll give it a shot once I'm back in the office.
Anyone have any experience?
Foldable or compact is a bonus
Best I've tried so far is the HP Touchpad Bluetooth Keyboard. Works great with any and all android, iOS, and other Bluetooth devices.

No luck with my original freedom.
No drivers to load with android.
Anyone else have any luck with the modern Freedom keyboards?
Road whore that needs something a bit more compact....
Logitech DiNovo Mini works perfectly with the SGSII. I use it esp when I have my phone plugged into the TV. Works perfectly.
I use a cheap microsoft bluetooth keyboard. Not exactly portable but it gets the job done.
I have one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/Original-Bluetooth-Wireless-Keyboard-Touchpad/dp/B004723V1M/ref=sr_1_27?ie=UTF8&qid=1320187017&sr=8-27
This works great with the SGS2 as well as any computer with BT and also the Playstation 3.
The mousepad will even give you a cursor on the SGS2 screen.
Even has a built in laser pointer.
Pay close attention to the pairing procedure as it is a little tricky.
Atrix Bluetooth Keyboard Works
This keyboard works great except that when you press SHIFT to capitalize a letter, it stays locked until you type another letter and backspace over it. I'm thinking of returning it. Otherwise, it's nice to have all the dedicated keys for Android on the keyboard.
Did u have to do anything special to connect ur hp keyboard, because mine pairs but wont connect. Any ideas?

I have the HP as well, works perfectly with our phone. Now here's the bad.news it won't connect at all on 2.3.6 custom.or stock firmware. Bluetooth hid is broken it's not just the keyboard but mouse or anything else Bluetooth.hid. You can always revert back to.any 2'3.4 rom and it will be fine. Now.if for some reason your on.2.3.4 and can't get it to connect let me know and I'll trouble shoot it with you. Mine pairs also in 2.3.6 but it can't connect because no bthid

Sure, most any bluetooth keyboard and mouse will work
great so both can work simultaneously? that's good news...
any advice on which keyboard/mouse I should buy?
extra question about the keyboard: does the soft keyboard still appear when entering a text field, or is this supressed?

I'm using an A4tech GL-5 wireless keyboard and mouse. It's not bluetooth. It has a tiny USB receiver so you'll need an OTG USB connector.
I use the cheapo OTG USB ($2.00)
Look on the market for null keyboard

NO recommendations. Most work fine. There are lots of available vendors. Logitech makes a good one, but I have a HP that was on clearance and it works great. I bought a generic bluetooth mouse, works fine.

Logitech makes a wireless usb combo that has a keyboard and track pad together. Its 29.99 at wal-mart. I love it. You just need a usb otg adapter. I would recommend the samsung branded one for 20.00 and I know alot of people will say the cheap ebay ones work fine for 2.00. I personally however need a good one due to the fact that I am a mobile locksmith and I sometimes have to print invoices on the spot. I do it with a samsung printer and the drivers are built into the phone.
Why wouldn't you just use bluetooth mouse and keyboard which work great instead of messing with USB connectors and such?
