Expansys folding keyboard - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hello ive bought a folding key board, after installing the software should i be able to just plug in the XDA and play? it dont happen! do you have to switch it on?. thanks Peter

You need to switch off beams in settings/connections/beams, as it will probably use Com 1 to connect. I use the keyboard driver that is supplied with special edition rom, this works great.

do i need software??. any one tell me where to get a copy incase mines no good. thanks Peter

HTC Touch Pro 2 (TP2) and the BGP-100 Bluetooth Gamepad PLEASE HELP!

I am so frustrated! I just received my MSI BGP100 Bluetooth Gamepad yesterday & for the life of me can not get this thing working. (also known as the chainpus BGP-100 - it also says Meganet on the box). This company appears to be out of business, so I am really at everyone's mercy to get this running.
So far, I have been able to pair the gamepad with my phone & install the WinCE_Widcomm driver (this is after I installed & removed the Windows CE MS drivers - which didn't work).
I am using the 1.50 version of the gamepad application. When it opens, I go to connect to the gamepad (by selecting "active gamepad") It looks like it's going to connect, but I just get "connection error"
If anyone can steer me in the right direction, I would be soooooooo grateful. (can't wait to use it to play some vintage NES games!)
bump for a good question.
I'm working on this too. So far no luck. Anyone get it working yet? I cannot get it to connect to the joystick. The weird thing is that if I pair it manually it connects, but the program will still not allow it to connect and none of the buttons work.
ditto
worked fine on my touch pro though

in the same boat im getting Connection Error #4 can not find bluetooth gamepad, Search again??? i havea few more things to try will post back if I have success
Was just thinking about purchasing this for my Tilt 2. I have read reports about issues with Win Mo 6.5... Having second thoughts if it won't work.
No one has found a fix for this yet?
I think it has somethig to do with the bluetooth stack, IDK if there is a fix or a work around.
i did a whole lot of looking around again trying to get the gamepad to work with the tp2
i found a thread somewhere that had a bgp100 driver 0.9 written by a certain larry bank for bitbank software.9 i had to pair the gamepad to the tp2 first. open the progy and tell it which serial port to use (com2). it works great, well almost. the d-pad and start button work great. all the other action buttons all map to the same hex value. thats where i get stuck... any ideas? i hope this helps yall... i made it this far so it works with the stack or larry bank figured something out... good luck to all of you.

Bluetooth keyboard on EVO?

I read somewhere that the HD2 supports bluetooth keyboards. Does anyone know if it's the same with the EVO?
Maybe, I hope so because I intend on testing it with an apple wireless keyboard
Not natively, but it should work with third party driver/apps like KeyPro.
Sweet I have my Apple Keyboard and Mouse.
I have heard a rumor that the Incredible does not support BlueInput (because of an older BT stack implemented by HTC) like-wise the EVO. I would be unhappy given the lack of a physical keyboard on the phone.
http://www.teksoftco.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=2414
That was the same error I was getting on my Sprint Hero, but the KeyPro guys made a version of the drivers that worked anyway. I think they can do the same if the EVO has the same issue.

Unfortunately it may be more OS related than a BlueInput problem.. Either way it would appear we arent getting HID anytime soon.

Mmm, so that explains why Wiimote Controller does not work on "devices running Sense"
FYI, using a beta version of KeyPro I was able to connect my Freedom Universal Keyboard 2 to the EVO, but the keyboard mappings were off. I've contacted the developer of KeyPro (who has been very responsive to tweaking the app for Sprint Hero support), I'm pretty sure this is something they can resolve.
Will report back...
My bad, I forgot to change the keyboard type in the KeyPro options - it works GREAT with the EVO!
Good stuff! Thanks for the notice!

It's a pretty nice keyboard. http://www.freedominput.com/technical-support/technical-support/universal-keyboards
I should note, it provides for good text entry and some hotkey functions, but it seems that much of Android's interface isn't accessible via these kinds of devices. You are still going to have to poke at your screen to do some things. Bluetooth mouse support would make this a bit easier...
I use the v-tech virtual keyboard via KeyPro. Works quite well.

What did you do that I can't figure out?
I've spent the best part of 8 hours trying to get my Freedom Universal 2 keyboard to connect using Keypro. The developer said not to bother purchasing the key if I couldn't get the keyboard working without it. Were you able to get it working on the trial version? Or did you have to purchase the key? I've managed to get the keyboard paired but not connected. Thanks for any tips / pointers.
Are you using the beta version from the keypro forum? The one they cooked up for the hero works for me. Which ROM are you running, and what are the symptoms of your connection problem?
The version I've been trying to get working is Keypro 2.00.08 trial.
Android version 2.2
The phone appears to pair with the keyboard when the keyboard is set to SPP, but not in HID, but they never actually connect. I've not yet been able to use the keyboard or assign shortcuts using Keypro. Thanks.
I was counting on using my think outside Serria full size folding bluetooth to work, ltd proving tto be difficult so far.
This was and perhaps is one of best keyboards but it don't matter if it doesn't even connect
Any one have an approach they could suggest?

I recently purchased the Freedom Pro keyboard from Amazon. I figured if I could not get it to work, I could send it back to Amazon. I originally tried to use the keypro apk, but was unsuccessful. Then I downloaded the android driver from the Keyboard site, that also would connect, but not pair. I then downloaded the instruction manual and followed their directions. Still no success. Then I got the bright idea of shutting down the phone, and then trying to pair my Evo to the keyboard. Success!!!! You click on the connected part of the driver software (read the installation manual) and this time it connected. There is an area on the driver you can use to check and see if you are connected. My Evo is unrooted (since 2.2). This has replaced my laptop for on-the-go business related work.

[Q] Pairing bluetooth elm327 with no code

Hello,
i’ve bought one elm327 bluetooth adapter from Ebay, my problem seems to be that i should pair it to my HTC Desire using no code at all(blank code), this seems not to be possible since the ‘ok’ button is greyed out if i do no enter any code. I’ve tried enter ‘spacebar’ and ‘spacebar + backspace’ with no result, first one complains about wrong password, second one just gives me an error when it tries to pair.
The device i am using shows up as ‘CHX’, and the manual states i should use code ’5678′ which does not work at all.
I tried to pair to my macbook and pairing seem to work if i choose to not use any code at all, but i can’t test to see if it actually works because i can’t find any sw for os x.
Anyone have a clue what to do?
TIA
[Edit]
*Solved*
Just for the record if anyone come across the same problem with a device that identifies itself as 'CHX' the pairing code for my unit were not what the documentation stated, but instead 6789.
Discovered this after trying all logical codes i could think of.
Thank you!!!
The same 6789 worked for me!
Thanks!
Thanks! My bluetooth dongle got here today and I tried it out and couldn't get it paired for the life of me, but 6789 did the trick. Going to have to write that puppy down.

Thank´s for the tip, i was beginning to think my new unit was defective.
You have just saved my day.
yeah the more we get this info out there the less people will be like us, thinking we got a defective unit from ebay!!
6789 worked a treat for me too...
ufff strugled to find it in my car just few minutes ago...
tnx to xda dev everything solved...
you rock guys...
Bah, I got mine today but 6789 does not work
nor does 0000, 1234 and about a million others I have tried.
got mine from here

Try 6789 or 7890
Sent from my HTC Desire [Redux 1.2]
And if you're got it paired but still can't "connect" - some cars need to be fired up and not just key turned to accessory mode.

Well 6789 worked after about the 300th attempt.
Doing my head in. Eventually gave me some error message about not connecting properly and resorting to default something...any it worked.
I had tried my old HTC Hero but that simply does not even see the device.
I don't think these things are at all well made but it was cheap.
Hi!
I bought Elm327 a few days ago.
When I try to find it with Htc Desire bluetooth, it doesn't apper in the list.
And so I can't pair these two
However, when I used it with my computer it was fine!
Any idea why this happens?
Hi, I have same problem like lina_k I can pair ELM327 with LG P500 (android), with Mio A501 (windows mobile 5.0), but with T5388i - HTC Touch Diamond 2 clone (windows mobile 6.5) I can't see ELM327 device. Bluetooth is ok, because I use bluetooth handsfree. Can anyone help? Thanks.
i'd love to buy one, somehow my car isn't supported.

It's nice to know that it works for you.
6789 worked for me too, just got in from work to find the dongle waiting, now to charge phone up and put some fuel in the car lol
I got the same unit as you from ebay.. The pairing code appears to be 1234, but running on a mac, so far, I have not gotten it to work. It ID's as an ODBII bluetooth device and functions as an additional serial port. I am trying software from h t t p://w w w.yhasi . com called movi, but am about to give up and switch to windows mode to make sure it really functions.
(Since i am a new poster, i cant post the url correctly)
This thread saved me as well. I tried 0000 and 1234 while repeatedly telling my friend how no device ever uses codes other than those. Thanks!
Thank you! Cd that came with the dongle was broken, and 0000 or 1234 which.usually have worked with other devices, didn't work with this one.

[Q] Good, but affordable bluetooth keyboard & mouse

Hi guys,
I would like to know if anyone knows a good -but affordable - bluetooth keyboard and mouse for the HOX. Did anyone try the Atrix Work and Play Kit? It looks good and all, but it is compatible?
sl bb
Sadly I can't make any recommendations, but would also like an answer to this question.
I've tried a cheap folding bluetooth keyboard which works well, but I only have one bluetooth mouse, which doesn't work.
The mouse will pair, and appear to be connected, but no pointed comes on on the screen.
Has anyone managed to get a bluetooth mouse to work with pointer?
The MHL consortium have a video of a working setup: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_YwS8qTpqk
Not sure what version of the ROM they're running, so can't tell if my mouse is incompatible, or if it's my software version.
Hi guys, if anyone is interested I bought me the Motorola Atrix Keyboard & Mouse set and what can I say: Impressive. I´m running MIUI right now and it connected instantly.
I LOVE the tiny blue mousepointer I get after connecting. Scrolling works, landscape mode works.
So after connecting it with my MHL-adapter and starting Linux I´m happy now.

HI. I'm deciding to buy this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Official-...K_iPad_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item35b5f8c8e4
The question is, really it will work for me? Cause there is written that works only on Motorola's phones.

Bluetooth Car Audio issue with Arc on Official ICS 4.0.4??

Hi All,
tried searching the threads on ICS upgrade with bluetooth and Blue&Me but unfortunately couldn't find much so thought of writing.
I have upgraded to the official sony ICS ROM via PC Companion on my Arc (LT15i).... done a repair... and set it up exactly the way i want to. must say that i loved it and am quite happy with the performance of the phone as well... there's the occasional lag but it isn't too bad as yet.
Now to my problem (and a few other queries)
1) Bluetooth: Has anybody had any success in pairing the bluetooth with another bluetooth device... preferably a car bluetooth system? I had it working perfectly on the GB (.62) ROM and could use the phone via my Fiat Linea's Blue&Me feature. Now i just can'[t pair it.... when i search for devices it does show Blue&Me but when i try to pair it all i get is that wait cursor kinda thing and then back to search devices screen. it just doesn't pair and give me the option to enter the passcode generated by Blue&Me.
2) Has anyone faced any issues in editing contacts which are synched to Google? Thankfully the HD Pics now work as google sync is not resizing them but in some contacts when i try to edit it the screen simply scrolls back to the top. these are linked contacts (Gmail... Facebook... Facebook inside Xperia.... Whatsapp).
thank you very much in advance for any help that the gurus on this forum can give. I'd especially like to get the bluetooth working as i can live with the contacts editing issue!
thanks, Maverick

I had a few issues connecting to my Ford when I was on 4.0.3.
It seems to work ok for me when I initiate the pairing from my car stereo. Then my phone will display the "bluetooth device wants to connect" and allow me to enter the code.

after updating to ICS on my xperia mini pro i cannot pair to fiat blue and me :-(

Hello
the phone "sees" the blue and me and try do pairs...but no popup asking for the pin appears...i wonder if there is any way to force the phone to ask the pin given my blue and me:-(
I think the problem is with Blue&Me... I've a Parrot and a Chinese GPS integrated in the other Car, and no problem with both of them.
Try to remove the asociation from the Car and then try to pair again. Maybe the Blue&Me assumes the device is the same and the protocol may be different.
In case it doesn't work this way, maybe you need an update from Fiat.

Thanks, i will try this tomorrow and update with my results.
getting something from Fiat is probably never going to happen.... they can't get those teeny weenie yet important spare parts for the car available when you need them most so i doubt they are going to do a B&M upgrade [Country: India]
I had issues at first with my ford but it seems if I initiate pairing from my car stereo, it works fine
Same issue on Subaru forster
have the same issue on Subaru after updating to ICE, the Xperia ARC identify the car media, but it fails (and no pin enter screen)
This is not happening in GB so I guess it is an ICE issue.
Anyone have news on it? or maybe some ROM do support BT?

same problem on mercedes and LT18i (xperia ray) It won't ask the pin. Sometimes I see it connected for less than a second.
I don't have the possibility to connect from car radio, it has te be connected via the phone.

found this whist searching online.
The Workaround:
1) Turn on bluetooth on your smartphone and open a contact card.
2) Start the pairing of hands-free of the car.
3) When the blue & me asks for the code, send the contact via Bluetooth: The phone searches for other devices. Selecting "Blue & Me", you have the opportunity to enter the code presented on the dashboard.
4) Now Blue & Me will ask you to copy the address book: Select "Yes".
5) In the notification bar of smartphone is prompted to connect bluetooth: select "do not ask for more" and accept the request.
