Hi everyone... I've got a few questions.
A few weeks ago I ordered an UbiQuio bluetooth keyboard:
http://www.expansys.de/p.aspx?i=139459
Got here fine... but now here's the problem - it only works about half the time.
With the original WM5.0 ROM that came with my Prophet it won't connect properly at all - the driver says there's a connection, but the keyboard simply won't work. On various WM6.0 ROMs (using Transformer 1.1 right now, been through a bunch of others), it takes an average of five connects to get the keyboard working - whether using the UbiQuio driver or just adding the keyboard as a regular bluetooth input device - the same problem every time - It says it's connected, but the keyboard doesn't work...
So basically - is there some sort of Bluetooth fix or update that I'm missing? Or is this just a problem with my keyboard (crappy manufacturing or something...?). Anyone else have problems like this? What's my best course of action (short of sending the keyboard back...)?
Thanks a lot!
I'm using HTC Trinity WM6 and wish to use my old Stowaway universal Bluetooth keyboard working? i cannot find driver for WM6. anyone have it?
please help!! i love my BT keyboard and wish to get it work again.
thanks
Attached is the driver I use for my Kaiser WM6/6.1, dunno if it'll work on your Trinity or not.
If not here is the drivers page: http://corporate.igo.com/support/Drivers.asp. Just choose your manufacturer and model.
Note that WM6 comes with basic keyboard drivers -- you only need to install a driver if you want to use special functionality such as customized keys. I use the built-in drivers on my Kaiser with a BT keyboard (not the Stowaway, but supposedly compatible).
htc tytn II and sierra bt keyboard
everybody,
trying to connect / use my new sierra bt keyboard with my htc tytn II and nothing works,.... if i go through the htc the keyboard is detected, asks for a security code, does not recognise the one i put in, (although the instructions say pick one of your choice), and does not connect.
if i go through the keyboard CAB installed on the htc, still cannot connect,.... i am not exactly a 'newbie' but if someone could give a step by step direction on how to get this to work, i would be very grateful,....
thanks,
ek
sorry everyone, i used elyspar's CAB file on my htc tytn II,.... thanks for your help,....ek
found a vid on youtube very helpful,.... it's actually quite simple to connect, so maybe i need to retract, i am a newbie,....
here's the link, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8HAge9yJu4
no functionality though, just basic input, good for emails / word, but limited,....
guess i have to install the driver on my kaiser somehow,....
Hi everybody, can you tell me which driver i have to install for my Niki? It's not on the list...
Thank you very much.

I could use an Apple Alu BT KB with HTC TyTN (not II). Paired. Without any special driver. Remember to press Enter on the KB after the code. Now I have a new Touch HD and I get it paired but nothing happens clicking on the keyboard...
I will start installing drivers which I find here suggested and will report.
iGo stowaway BT keyboard and WM6
Hello all,
I originally posted this message in a Blackstone forum, but as this problem probably relates to WM6 in general I thought I would post here
I have an igo bluetooth keyboard and I am using Blackstone phone (running the usual WM6.1 proffessional. I installed the igo software and everything worked fine except that phone crashed a lot. Not so useful. I then uninstalled the software and paired the keyboard using the onboard Bluetooth keyboard drivers. All worked well for one run through and I was able to type away. However I have not got the thing to work again since, even after re-pairing the devices. Does anyone haev any thoughts about what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks.
Tom
Hello Guys, partly not to the topic hear....
I have an igo stowaway keyboard and a travel mouse and i have been using them with my fusi n560 (wm 6.0). Now I bought a Nokia 5800 mobile phone with symbian s60v3 touch. The keyboard came with multiple driver including both wm and symbian versions, but the mause came only with wm driver. Now the question is: do you happen to know how could I use my mouse with my symbian device? Sorry for asking symbian related question here....
Special Characters and the Sierra Stowaway
I have previously used the Sierra Bluetooth Keyboard and it worked flawlessly on my T-Mobile Wing running WM5... I recently tried to port the same driver suggested by ek... (PPC5) to the T-Mobile HTC Touch Pro2, WM6.1.
It works on all keys, including the function keys, but cannot produce the specialty characters on the 5th, number-row, i.e., [email protected]#$%^&*()
Everything else seems to work fine... anybody come across a fix for this?
Thanks!

I've been interested in acquiring an Apple Wireless Keyboard for my PDA too.
But from skimming other people's post, looking at what was successful on the internet (e.g. the guy on youtube with the Mio who paired with the Apple BT Keyboard), it seems that all the success stories come from people running WM5/6
Anything 6.1 and above seems to not work in general, although you have some success stories like from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=486595
Has anyone successfully paired with 6.1-6.5?

I have similar problems with my Samsung Omnia, WM6.1 and the German Stowaway Keyboard (QWERTZ) with the driver 4.51.
Just the keys !$& are not working.
Could there be a workaround like using ASCI numbers?
I tried ALT+33 to get a "!" but had no success.
Does anybody else has some suggestions?
Thanks,
Sigi

I solved my problem:
I installed the English driver 4.52
(I have an English ROM and use a German Keyboard)
The driver was changed from version Ger4.51 to Eng4.52 on several places and I think they solved some Bugs.
I resetted my Omnia after the installation.
Because the problem still existed, I resetted the Omnia once again, while the Stowaway keyboard was selected in the keyboard menu.
After that reset all the characters worked like the should.
Hope that helps.
Hello all!
Recently I've bought a generic bluetooth keyboard from Carrefour. Nothing fancy, it seems that it was made with multiple platforms in mind. The model is CBK01 (OY661-1). This keyboard works great on Windows, it sends 2-3, maybe even 4 simultaneous key presses. But on Android it only sends one key at a time. I can't even write capital letters with it. The for now, the problem is partially solved via External Keyboard Helper, but only partially.
I've tried both Logitech's diNovo Mini keyboard and a wired keyboard (via OTG) and they both work just fine. So I guess the problem is somewhere in the middle. I just don't know where.
If anybody can help me solve this, even with a small hint, I'd be grateful.
Thanks!
Bump!
Anybody?

I have the same keyboard and same problems. Right now I'm looking for a solution, but nothing so far.
Just yesterday I've seen a Canyon bluetooth keyboard (can't find it online) in a local Carrefour for about 33 euros / 46 $ and it had Android/Windows/Mac written on 3 keys, which I assumed it was for changing modes for the three platforms (and key codes at the same time). So I guess the problems with our Carrefour keyboard come from the wrong key codes. I'll search into this a little later today or in the next days.
Wish you a nice Sunday!
no fix yet ?
Has anyone found a solution for this keyboard ? The simultaneous key bug affects android and linux (ubuntu). In android i also got a bug that when I press one time the v key it repeats the letter many times.
Giving that xtra22 is confirming similar problems on Ubuntu, I'm starting to think this might be a driver/OS related problem.
xtra22 could you please raise this problem on Ubuntu forums? There might be more Ubuntu users out there having this problem, maybe even with other keyboards too.
Wish you a great day!

Did you find any solution to this problem? Since I am having the same issue but with the C key
Device: sm-t715 (purchased eBay, factory refurbished)
build number NRD90M.T715XXU2CQCL
Android 7.0 installed
Keyboard device Lenovo thinkpad ebk-209a German DIN
Searched Google and XDA, no related results.
This keyboard works fine on both my previous tab (T713) and my phone (sm-g900v), but the settings for my new t715 won't let me set the keyboard type, which renders the keyboard useless. The default is US english, and this is different from the bluetooth keyboard in several respects. Is there some back way in, or do I need to get a different ROM for it? If the latter, where would I find it (or do one of you have one)?
Additional data availabe on request.

[SOLVED!?!]
I did nothing, but it is working now (at least the keyboard type is correct for the keyboard). I do not know which is worse: The inital problem? or it seeming to fix itself, with nothing done by me? It is not a solution, but it is working. . .
