sk17i as external keyboard for other devices - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Well, my phone is my sk17i Xperia Mini Pro.... and I love the physical keyboard and it works as a phone for me. I don't mind the small screen size that much...
Although for "productivity" and "school stuff" I have a Xperia Z2 tablet. And I carry both of them with me most of the time.
Although I hate overall on-screen typing. I want to vomit every time I use an on-screen keyboard.
And as I was looking on ebay for an external mini keyboard, I remembered that I have a really good physical keyboard on my Xperia Mini Pro. And another external keyboard would be yet another device to carry with me.
So my question is... is it somehow possible to interact with my Xperia Z2 tablet using my Xperia Mini Pro physical keyboard? Software, bluetooth, wifi, OTG USB... anything goes.... Suggestions?

I know this is more than 2 years old and sadly without any answer, but I ask myself pretty much the same question, I would like to use the keyboard of my Xperia Mini Pro as bluetooth keyboard for the Amazon FireTV stick. Would be great if this was possible somehow...

Hello, I know this is a old thread, but now we have some paid apps that say that you can do this. I have nothing with the owner and did not tested it yet, but I'll leave the link below anyway. The bad news is the app only works with some OS like Android and Windows, for example. Hope it helps you.

Thanks for your reply, but at least on Amazon's FireTV Stick it does not seem to work. I sideloaded the app to the FireTV stick, startet it, but get an error-message in the first step: If I select "Tap here, find An2An Receiver from the list and enable it, confirm the pop-up dialog, then return here" > the message "Cannot launcher keyboard settings, please do it manually and come back". is shown. Also there's no real documentation, can't get it to work.

sweeter home

Hello all
I have a question
Why can not sweeterhome on my x10 mini
Greeting Karin
You're trying to install the one for Android 1.6, right?
http://www.sweeterhome.com/attachments/download/491/sweeterhome2_beta_donut-896.apk
I managed to install it without any hassle on my rooted X10 Mini Pro. However it still needs some work, there are resolution issues - meaning that the text onscreen is virtually impossible to see. Haven't really had a chance to test out the rest of the app as I can't really navigate it with such small text.

yes it works thanks

[Q] Xperia Mini help required!!

I am thinking of buying this phone as an upgrade to my current x10 mini.
Would somebody with this phone be so kind as to go into the android market on the handset and search for "LG TV REMOTE" and tell me if it finds it?
My current x10 mini does not find it - I have been told that the screen size is too small to support the app but I am hoping the larger 3" screen will work with the app. I have also been told that the x8 works with it and this has a 3" screen too so I am hopeful.
Thank you in advance!
is it an asian software? yea i find it
yes it does work

[Q] Sony Tablet P Favorites

Hi everyone
Today i got my tablet p. Everything is working fine but after a new update( i think its the 4.0.3r5) i discovered that the Favorites are gone. Is there someone who knows how to get that app back. instead of the Favorites it shows me the Guest mode. Another thing is the PSpocket app. I dont know if it´s possible, but is there any chance of getting the pspocket app, known from the xplay, to the tablet p. I tried to install it but it crashes after i start it the first time and the widget isn´t working correctly. And the last question: I´ve heard about the stardust portable app for the sony tablets. But then i searched in the internet and only found a apk which shows me an error. Is there any possibility of getting this game. I have also Loco roco installed on the xplay. Someone here on xda removed the requirement of checking the registration. Maybe someone could do the same here. This would be really nice.
Thanks everyone for your help:victory:

A few months prior to the release of their Android 4.0.3r5, Sony issued a survey and found a majority of responders said they did not use the Favorites function, so Sony removed the function and replaced it with the Guest Mode function.
Ok thank you!

Logitech BT Keyboard (920-004569) for Flyer [Solved Problem?]

I just got this $70 keyboard as a Christmas present and it doesn't work. Here's why. I tried to pair it, but the pair key dialog did not show up and instead popped up the invalid PIN or key dialog. I am using the HTC Flyer running on a Stock Android 3.2.1 ROM non-rooted, and it doesn't work.
EDIT: I am now running on Dexter'sJB v1.8 [Android 4.1.1 + CM10 build unofficial] Hope it works there. I will try to see if the dialog shows up, if not, I'll try to press 0000, then Enter. If that doesn't work, was Dexter bad at implementing bluetooth? Well because his ROM supports and pairs a lot of bluetooth devices including game controllers. So hope this keyboard works.
I had no problems. Same keyboard. I just hit 0000 and enter on keyboard and it connects

I have the same keyboard the iPad version. Works great but I can not change keyboard language without third party application. Is there any key combination for switching layouts ? Thanks!

I am using the HTC Flyer running on a Stock Android 3.2.1 ROM non-rooted, and it doesn't work. I also tried to pair it to the Galaxy Player 3.6 with a stock rom and it paired, however it didn't work even with the easyconnect app. Is there a solution to make the pair key dialogue to pop up for the Lpgitech Tablet Keyboard for the HTC Flyer?

I would say try to contact HTC support but they won't help you with anything, they will just tell you that the Flyer is incompatible with the keyboard.
I have a Motorola BT Keyboard and the only way to get it to pair and work was by setting the keyboard in the "computer connect" mode. By pressing some keys on it, the Flyer was able to pair with it, and connect. If your keyboard has something like this in its settings, try it.

I have the same keyboard, also, and it had no problem pairing with my Flyer.
Flashed DextersJB
Never mind, I gave it away to my friend. But that was 2 months ago. Now I flashed dexter's jellybean rom v1.8 for the flyer. Hope the keyboard works. Also, thanks for the 0000 advice.
I miss my keyboard...
By the way, I would like to retrieve it back from my friend if it's possible. If not, I am planning to buy the iHome keyboard. Does it work for CM10 4.1.1 for HTC Flyer? But the most important thing is... I miss my keyboard so much!
Re: Logitech Bluetooth Tablet Keyboard (920-004569) on HTC Flyer
At least in my case, the Motorola Keyboard and Mouse work flawlessly in the Flyer on 4.1.1.

Since it's a windows keyboard...
As the title says, I am using External Keyboard Helper to assign some unrecognized buttons since it's a windows keyboard. Just look at the attachment below.

Well, did you enable your layout that suits your locale? If you did, try to switch language by pressing CTRL+SPACE on the keyboard. I don't know about it. If it's impossible for you, well there's no choice but to get a third party app.

[Q] Sk17a - keyboard with 'ç'

Hello Guys,
My girlfriend has a mini pro sk17a, which is the version with a 'ç' in the keyboard. Since she updated it to official ics, the cell phone really disappointed her.
I will load some custom roms, in order to see performance, but a simple question is, should any rom here in xda works with this type of keyboard.
I've read that is possible to set in the option 'Portuguese/Catalan keyboard' in a thread, but I didn't get if it was for that rom or all.
BTW, can someone suggest a rom that has little bug and a good camera? (just to start searching, mini pro has many option than my x8, I don't know how to start )
thanks all
