Searching the web on this issue doesn't give any good answers. So i thougt maybe anyone here is up for the task.
As many of you know HID support on sense devices don't work. But is it possible to fix? (It should work on CM7)
Does anyone know if it's the BT drivers or the BT stack or just som sense crap blocking it?
What would be the the first course of action to investigate this issue?

While downloading a few apps, like the Wii controller mod made by one of our own xda developers, it appears that the desire has a non-standard bluetooth arrangement compared to something like the Nexus One? Rather than timing out, the application isn't even recognizing that bluetooth is turned on. The help section tells me vaguely that its an issue with the device itself...
What are the details on this? I've read that this is a flaw with any Sense UI device. I don't have any other bluetooth devices to test it with (except a Wii controller) but does bluetooth even work on the desire?? Would rooting fix my issues?

I have the same issue connecting a Wiimote to my Desire. My Bluetooth does work though, with everything but the Wiimote, I expect your bluetooth is also fine.
I expect the Wiimote app is conflicting with something about the Sense UI. Maybe the fact that Sense-enabled handsets also come with HTC's IME keyboard stock, since the Wiimote app is in fact a replacement IME.
I'm looking forward to 2.2 but the biggest feature that was lacking in the older version was the Bluetooth Stack. Does anyone know if the OTA Froyo on the Incredible fixes the functionality of SSP?
Yes
Voice dialing through my Blue Ant Z9 worked perfectly on stock 2.2. I believe full HID support (bluetooth keyboards, etc) may still not be present in stock, and I believe it is present in Cryanogen, if you are willing to flash that.

Hopefully someone can test this with the Stock version. I'll be accepting the upgrade tomorrow. I'll be flashing my phone in the future if bluetooth doesn't work properly.
Oh, and thanks for the reply.
Bingo. Froyo Fixes the Bluetooth stack. Bluetooth SPP now works with Freedom Pro Keyboard Android drivers. http://freedominput.com/freedom-accessories/freedom-pro-keyboard . If you're ever looking for a full size keyboard for your phone, this is very nice. Comes with a little phone holder too.
Now if I could only learn to type!

Has anyone had any luck with the iGo slim keyboards? I've read that there is an issue with HTC's bluetooth stack but supposedly there is a way to "fix" the issue. Has anyone created an update for Froyo (or know the steps to do it manually) that would enable the keyboard?
Thanks

on Dinc Froyo 2.2:
I cannot get my iGo keyboard or MoGo Mouse x54 Pro to work via Bluetooth.
I show paired, but the status will never switch to "connected".
I've built a piece of hardware that allows for communication over bluetooth to a phone, and have tested the hardware as best I can. It uses an LMX9838 module from national semiconductor for bluetooth support. I've been trying for an hour to get the hardware to connect to my EVO but it never shows up in the device list. I can get it to communicate with my laptop, my work blackberry, but not my EVO running 2.2.
I've tried searching for EVO 2.2 and SPP profiles, but can't seem t find much. are any mods supporting SPP? I've seen elsewhere on google that 2.1 may have an old BT stack that does not support SPP, but nothing solid on 2.2 yet.
Hopeing someone here knows better.
Thanks.
hi,
i was under the (possibly wrong) impression that gingerbread natively supported bluetooth keyboards. (bt hid)
im at the moment stuck with the OTA update and cant seem to get my igo bluetooth keyboard to work.
any drivers that i can use with gb + igo keyboard?
regards,
asmd.
As far as I know, the problem has been with Sense (which was not upgraded with the OTA) and not with the version of android. I have used CM7 in the past and the HID profile works great. Maybe someone here who is using a Sense 3.0 Rom can validate if HID keyboards or even Wiimotes will work with the new Sense. My guess is no...
thanks for the reply.
Snap!! anybody know how to get a Igo bluetooth keyboard working with the current evo 4G GB OTA?

My microsoft BT keyboard pairs, but doesn't connect. Same issue I had with froyo. Running Mikg 2.15 rom. When i tried the same with cm7, it pair perfectly. Not a complete deal breaker, but would of been nice. I recall reading previously that HID support had to be part of the BT stack. Whether the BT stack is a function of sense or not, I don't know. Practical testing suggests it is.
I realize this thread became a little bit old, but did anyone ever find a solution here? Or is Sense just totally incapable of working with a BT hid keyboard?
I just this past week got a new mini BT keyboard and was excited about all the prospects of using it. I'm currently on Sense MikG 2.5 and have been for about the last 6-8 months, after about a 6 month run on CM7.
I didn't realize, I guess, that there was such a vast difference in terms of BT HID devices. Anyway, I'd seen reference to an Anthrax kernel, but now see no way of downloading it.
Can anyone help out in that regard? And would the Anthrax kernel solve that issue? I might be looking to use the Anthrax kernel anyway.
I have been working to find a way to get my Igo connected. There was some small progress last night. I've been running sense 3.5. Last night I threw in a se of but hid files. Before it would even pair. Now the keyboard pairs but will not connect. For now I am using an ics rom to be adle to use my mouse. It connects with no problem. On sense 3.5 it pairs and connects. But it disconnects in less than a second
I'm having the same problems I have an LG Bluetooth keyboard and sadly running sense I can never get it to work aosp Roms seem to work fine though
Anyone try out Bluetooth yet? Is it up to par with AOSP's Bluetooth stacks? Has HTC finally stopped putting archaic BT functionality into their ROMs and actually made it possible to use things like Wiimote/Sixaxis/Dual Shock 3/Bluetooth keyboard and mouse on their phones?
Can anyone answer if HOX supports Bluetooth HID?
I don't know why there's no replies, but yes it's using the standard BT Stack, HID and all.
