There is a driver currently under beta testing (probably soon to be released), that allows us to connect Bluetooth input peripherals to our TP2.

There are a few demo videos on Youtube, see for eg.:

What do you guys think of that? It is stated that this works with other Broadcom Stack devices as well.
Why do you need a driver? All WinMo 6 devices I've seen have built-in HID profile BT support. I have an ancient Freedom Universal Keyboard that I've used on the Tilt, Fuze, and Tilt 2 right out of the box.
hi 3waygeek!
that's true,
yet it doesn't support a mouse.
regarding the keyboard, I've seen many complains about the think outside driver being obsolete, or not working on some devices.

First of all: For about a year, the keyboard was working fine, using thinkoutside 4.52 official driver. Then I got a nice gift: logitech V470 BT laser mouse. Then the hell begun. How in the world connect it to the PDA?
Someone on this forum claimed that V470 works on HTC Athena out-of-the-box, using included in wm6/wm6.1 bluetooth hid stack. For some reason, after I pair the mouse and check input device in BT services list - nothing happens. I tried:
- uninstalling ThinkOutsde driver - the even keyboard stopped working, even thi I paired it and checked input device,
- bluemouse/ blueinput - it says BT on, mouse off. On their site I read it's probably due to incompatible BT stack. No chances of telling what BT stack is installed on PPC... :/
- using hacked version of stowaway keyboard/mouse driver. I got "keyboard not working / please reinstall stowawayxt.dll" error. I checked - hacked one has 162kB, the one from 4.52 - 59kB and is signed, while hacked one is not. WTF?
- I know, that stowaway disables built-in HID, but even when I'm enabling it again, nothing is happening.
- Deep search on google on v470, bluetooth hid, bluetooth at all on PDAs, bt stacks and such revealed nothing. Please, help!

Hello Vartharian, did you ever have any luck getting the Bluetooth mouse to work? I too am trying to find a solution, but I lack the hacked thinkoutside files to work from.
If you have one I can take a look and see if I can reverse engineer a fix.
Thanks,
Peter

Some kind of BlueTek (or something) drivers for WinMo to enable BT mouse use. Found them in some download somewhere in the tubes, look for "BlueMouse driver" or something. Installs driver and settings panel. Hope this helps. Maybe then you could get some sweet Quake action going.
Hi,
I bought the Bluetooth Gamepad from Chanipus. There are some remainders, even though the manufacturer is gone bankrupt. But the drivers are undependable. On some devices they are working, and on others but same devices drivers doesn't work.
I tried it with my Touch HD and the Diamond of my wife. Both devices say "Sorry! We don't support this Bluetooth Gamepad." But according to some Forums, on some HD and Diamond this Gamepad works...WHY
So I thought about writing a new driver or frontend or whatever, but I never wrote a program for Windows Mobile. Not even a driver at all...
Maybe it is possible to do some kind of reverse engeneering of the latest driver and then do some changes to the program?!
I don't know...but this is a developer-forum
Kind regards,
Toby
Keep it up!
problem is that reverse engineering generally takes months of intense work
luck
and of cause the device itself for testing
I have a stowaway travel mouse made by 'think outside', that I was using on windows 6.1 on my TYTN II with no problems.... however, I simply cant get it working on the Touch pro 2... I was wondering if anybody out there have got a bluetooth mouse working.... I have narrowed it down to something to do with a different bluetooth stack in touch pro 2.
anyone?.......
See if you can find info on other recent phones that use the same BT stack as the TP2. Might be some info there specific to your mouse.
edit: this post makes mention of a BT mouse, no detail tho: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4259761&postcount=2
I used to use MobileRemote by MobileSRC.com with my touch pro and it worked great as an easy to use keyboard/mouse combo for my Home Theater PC.
I have been trying to get it to work on the TP2 though and finally I decided to search a bit and found a post on the MobileRemote forums saying that it will not work at all on the TP2 due to the changed BlueTooth Stack (Widcomm) that is included by default on the TP2.
(I believe this is the same thing that causes some issues with TomTom, but that's a different topic)
I was just curious if anyone can recommend a similar program, where I can use my TP2 as the keyboard and a trackpad or an air mouse for a windows PC? If anyone has tested them out and know what works with the TP2 please let me know. Thanks!
there are a couple out there but you have to install a software on the PC and on your device for them to work.
The beauty about MobileRemote is that you don't need to do that so the computer automaticly senses it as a bluetooth keyboard/mouse.
I was also upset that it doesn't work with the Widcomm BT Stack because now i can't use it with my PS3 and it was the only option.
My solution would be to get the MS BT Stack ported over to the Rhodium because the Widcomm stack has caused other issues for me on top of this one.
I'm thinking of upgrading to this phone, one of the main reasons is that my current device, which has galaxy S guts, is not compatible with most bluetooth devices. I like to use an app called blueputdroid that turns my phone into a universal keyboard as well as an ELM bluetooth device that turns my phone into a dyno along with the torque app for my car.
For some reason the way samsung built the bluetooth makes it not work with a lot of these things, I know it's not the apps or 3rd party devices as I use my old G1 now for it, but would much rather just have my main phone be my one device.
Have any of you tested blueputdroid or any bluetooth devices? If not could someone try out blueputdroid with this phone (it's free in the market) any help would be much appreciated thanx!!
Says it has detected unsupported Bluetooth stack.. Install cyanogen Rom, etc.
Thanks, at least this phone is likely to get cyanogenmod support which will fix the problem my SK sure as hell won't
My GS2 works perfect with my ELM adapter. It worked perfect with my Vibrant too. I've never had a single problem with any bluetooth device on either of them.
I've had a lot of bluetooth problems with both my vibrant and now my GS2. Both work reliably with my wife's mini cooper bluetooth but they both have had problems connecting to the garmin nuvi I use for handsfree in my car (and forget about the A2DP on it).
I tried a lot of roms on my vibrant (incl stock) and they did lots of cool stuff but never made the BT connect reliably. Then I came across this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=795691
I made the suggested change to /system/etc/bluetooth/audio.conf and voila! I finally have good BT with my vibrant.
So I got my SG2 last week, rooted it and found that it also had the bad settings in /system/etc/bluetooth/audio.conf. However it also lacked BLN (backlight notification) and few other tweaks I've come to love on my vibrant so I flashed juggernaut 2.6. That fixed all the major foibles with the SG2 but it still won't reliably connect to my garmin.
I opened up the filesystem to find that /system/etc/bluetooth/audio.conf is no longer there! Does anyone know where it went?
Apparently I don't have enough posts to ask in the dev forum where juggernaut was posted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1322642 so I'm hoping someone will see this plee for help.
thanks
the phone has BT 3.0, but it is backward compatible with BT 2.0 and 1.0 devices
i haven't had any trouble using it with my car deck (streaming audio & phone), my large collection of stereo BT devices, and other BT enabled phones & PCs/Laptops
the remote control feature from the stereo headsets works properly, for fast forward, backward, play, pause, talk, mute, etc
the only thing i have yet need to test BT on is with a BT smart wrist watch
