I'm wanting to get a Bluetooth keyboard and I know the MAC wireless keyboard is Bluetooth. Has anyone use one or is it compatible?

I use my Apple Mighty BT Keyboard and it works perfectly. I'm using CM6 and I know that ROM had an upgraded BT stack. I'm not sure if other ROM's have it enabled.
BT keyboard + Evernote = WIN

Same here, the IMAC keyboard and mouse both work with CM6. Mouse is not much use now, but it does work, just don't orient the device horizontally, last I tested, CM6.0 it doesn't alter the mouse directions with the display.
CM6 is the ONLY ROM currently that will allow you to use it. It won't work stock, or with any other custom ROM. There is one other AOSP rom that someone was working on, but it had the same flaws as CM6, i.e. no 4G, HDMI, FM radio etc.
I would go with CM6 if you wanted this.
so me running fresh 3.1.0.2, that keyboard would not work? only CM6? :-/
Ideas on another keyboard? Id want to keep my phone horizontal with the stand and use it to take notes on in class. It would keep things simple than taking a netbook with me to class
Nope no other way. There is an alternative though which requires you to be at a computer but lets you tour from the pc and display on your phone.
Check out AndroidCentral.com its on the front page. It must likely won't help but its a cool read.

so no bluetooth keyboard will work unless Im on CM6?
I've read on other forums that the Freedom Pro Keyboard has drivers that will work with HTC sense.

I thought that was only with the new sense (htc desire series).

Hi
Samsung have released a tv remote for the galaxy s that will allow you to control some of their new tv models.
The apk is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7887180&postcount=12
However it wont install on my HTC desire. Error "Application no installed" Is it possibly to extract the apk and install manually? Failing that are there any galaxy s 2.2 roms running on the desire? Im sure i remember a 2.1 rom that did.
Thanks

TV remote?
I believe this could be a strongly hardware related app.
Furthermore : Most of the TV remotes are running with infrared signals, well....
Desire doesn't have infrared transmitting or receiving hardware, not without an additional accessory.
That could be the cause why the app is not running on Desire.

This programme doesnt work like that - it transmits commands over your lan by wifi which the tv then picks up either via ethernet or wlan. I just need to get it installed. Maybe installing the touchwiz ui would make it work?
I'd love to get that working on my Desire too, tried to install but it spat it out.
I would like it as well. Somebody must know how to do it. It does even exist on iphone. Why not any other android???
I am also interested as to whether anyone has this working on their desire. Any news?
maybe because its a samsung app for a samsung device for a samsung tv - they may have put in a little piece of code checking that it is running on a samsung device?
just a thought...
Maybe a bit far fetched:
But have you tried putting the app into /system/app/ then restart your phone.
I don't know if you could do this or that it will work, must be worth a try
Guys, is there a separate/external infrared device -like an external gps receiver- can be controlled via BT from phone thanks to a dedicated app and acts as a repeater for commands; i.e. receive and transmit to tv/dvd/stereo/whatever?

Anyone had any joy with this ?
I have a desire HD and a C9000 so would be nice to get it working!
In the market it says:
This application is only for Samsung Mobile Phone and will be updated soon to work with other Android phones.
I wonder how long soon is ?
onstom is the MAN!

Works great, hurray!
PS: App is only for C-series (I think), however, there is an app in the market for the B-series.
hi guys!
C550 TO TV remote control can be done?
or is there another tv remote control C550 which TO would be good?
I tried many things but none of them does not work.
Thanks!
Don't know exactly what you're meaning, but if you have a newer C-series Samsung TV, which is also connected to your wlan, and you want to have a android-remote-control for that, you should try the app from the post above.
Otherwise, ???

That's great timing - I just ordered a Samsung UE40C6000 - any idea if the above link will work with Desire + that tv?

I am going to test out a menotek keyboard tonight. I am posting to see if anyone else has had any luck with a bt keyboard on our phone. Thanks.

Sadness. I tried to pair this using the native driver and Teksoft drivers, with no luck. Teksoft looks okay if you are willing to shell out 10 bones for drivers.
If anyone finds a keyboard that works, or has better luck than me I would love to hear it.
Android 2.x doesn't have the HID bluetooth profile. 3.x apparently does. Supposedly someone hacked in the profile for 2.x somewhere but I forget where I saw this. Chances are we won't see this on phones until the merge of the 2.x and 3.x branches.
Thanks, that is really helpful. It would definitely be a nice accessory, because I do edit the occasional google doc on my phone.
I know this because I looked into it myself I've started to see some nice compact folding keyboards for iphone and ipad that worked through bluetooth and I was curious if any worked with Android. Sadly, all the reports I saw were for the 3.x tablets.
Well, hopefully this gets fixed with ice cream sandwich, which seems a long way off.
By then, I will be rooted running CM.

Maybe it will work on CM7? I know at least with the first incredible, some Bluetooth functionality like using a wii controller for emulators, worked on CM7 but not sense.
It's possible, but may still require some hacks. The key thing needed is HID (Human Interface Device) support. This is where are our keyboard and mouse drivers come from.
BUMP.
Now that we all have root - anyone know how to get the right kind of drivers to make a BT keyboard happen?
Try CM7. It's supposed to have a Bluetooth stack that supports HID stuff.

Dear god and baby jesus in heaven. Save me from spending more money and resources on a working BT keyboard for my Tbolt lol. So far I've tried both a HYPE mini BT keyboard and the Freedom Pro. Both result in the same outcome.
The HYPE was the first one I snagged. It works on my itouch, main PC with a BT adaptor, laptop with BT built in and my HP touchpad running CM9 (ICS). The touchpad was running GB at the time of the first pairing and it worked there too. After doing some research and seeing most BT keyboards don't play so well with the tbolt, I saw a few people say the Freedom Pro does. So I snagged one of them. It has the exact same issue. It pairs properly but then never connects once paired. Basically the phone acts like a cat. You push the KB entry in the BT list and it acts like you didn't touch it. Clicking other BT items in the list do attempt to initiate the connection.
Are there ANY BT keyboards people here have working? I found a thread linking to the EVO forums where somebody got a Dell BT keyboard to work but that's a bit too big for what I want. I just want a BT keyboard to work with my phone so I'm not always undocking it to reply to a text. The drivers for the HYPE install but never register with the net either over wifi or 4G. The Freedom Pro ones install but don't seem to change the issue. Is it a ROM thing or a phone thing? I'm shocked the Freedom Pro didn't work as people have said this one has worked. My phone is Android 2.34 under the current ROM and a BT of 2.1+EDR
Are you looking for a full-size keyboard? I personally have the Logitech MediaBoard Pro for the PS3 (routinely on sale lately for $30) and it works really well. I've also been using AOKP roms, I'm not sure if that makes a difference.
I'm hoping NOT to go full size if I can help it. I'd rather something not much bigger than the freedom pro. I saw a link to a desktop replacement using an EVO that somebody used a Dell BT keyboard (with the EVO at least). This is the kind of setup I'd rather avoid. Can you post your BT stack info? I'd like to compare it to mine. I'm using Bootmanager and have a Thunderstick ROM going and ODJDub.
Whatever you do, avoid the Motorola Xoom keyboard... HTC phones reject it every time...

Hi Moss. If you want a working BT keyboard, get Thundershed. This rom works with BT keyboards.

I think any non sense rom would work great. for example my ps3 controller works great on thundershed, liquid etc, but any bamf sense roms doesn't work at all

I am beginning to see proof of this with sense related roms on devices other than just our t-bolts. I asked the t-shed creator if he could release his bluetooth stack in something that is flashable but he seems pretty busy.
Using the OUYA's default keyboard with the touchpad is an aweful pain. I was wondering if there is a keyboard out there that plays well with the controller (D-Pad especially). I was able to install Google's Keyboard but it is not really better than the default one. Anyone found an alternative ?
Blue Board

Ditto for blueboard.
is that the only one that works well for it or possibly the only one that works at current? swift keyboard?
Blue Board is an app that you put on your OUYA, and on your phone or tablet. Once you parent connect them, whatever you type on your phone or tablet pops up on your OUYA.
Blasted from my Samsung Galaxy SIII (CM10.1 Masta Mix).
Thanks !
Thanks for blueboard. Anyone has another option that does not require to switch to a tablet or phone ?
You'll never find a good option while using the controller, your best bet is to use a phone like otheres have said, or bt keyboard I suppose.
I have a couple questions reguarding this though. Does blueboard also have touch pad function? I used droidmote on my mk802 and it was great, it had keyboard, mouse, directional, media controls, even a touch gamepad mode. Has anyone tried this on ouya yet?
