I have just received a new Chill Innovation Bluetooth Micro Keyboard for my HTPC, which also has Android support etc.
However as far as I understand many recent HTC phones have problems with the HID Bluetooth implementation, mine included.
So does anybody know if HTC is actually working on a solution for this or not?
Which alternative ROM's can I use instead to get proper Bluetooth HID support?
Thanks!
Anyone????
Try aosp roms

Is there any way to change the bluetooth stack when rooted? Or do you need to find a rooted rom with an alternative bluetooth stack already installed?
The reason for asking is the default 2.1 and 2.2 desire roms have a bluetooth stack that prevents bluetooth keyboards being connected. I gather some rooted roms with alternative or modified bluetooth stacks allow it to work, when using an app like Bluekeyboard JP.
So ideally I would be able to use a 2.2 rom with an alternative bluetooth stack.
I'm having the same problem, only my intentions aren't so noble as a keyboard. I want to be able to connect a Wii remote to play games. Apps like wiimote let you do this but problems with my 2.2 leedroid htc bluetooth stack mean it won't see it. I believe the problem mainly affects senseui based roms, which are the kind I prefer :S
Can anyone help please? I'll be very impressed if someone can figure this out because I believe its something HTC have done, not a 3rd party
Is there a fix for this?!
No fix.. and it is not possible. You need to use unofficial no-sense rom.

Are there good no-sense froyo roms out now? Or is it a case of waiting for a version of the official froyo rom to have sense hacked out?

Read it? If you had you'd see I've already searched for, read and replied to that post...
*Bump* Has someone managed this?
Has anyone found a way to use their G2 keyboard to control other android devices? I know programs like Gmote can control a PC with appropriate server side software installed.
However, I'd love something that allows me to use my G2 keyboard like a standard HID keyboard through bluetooth so I could pair it with another computer without installing the server side software... and better yet, being able to pair and enter text into my android tablet! I hate to carry both devices + a portable keyboard when I have a perfectly good one on my phone already!
Is there something like this out there already? Or could someone easily build one?

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.
Hi All,
I recently bought a fitbit that syncs to my PC via a supplied Bluetooth 4.0 dongle.
It will also sync via BT with certain phones using the Android app - e.g. the S4.
I believe the reason it doesnt' work on my One X (which has hardware support for 4.0 as far as I know) is that Android doesn't natively support 4.0 protocol, and so it's up to individual vendors to add drivers and support to their ROMs.
I'm using the Viper 4.0.2 ROM presently.
Does anyone know if it's possible to add BT4.0 support? If not, does any enterprising dev fancy taking a look at it?
Cheers
Ric
UP. This interests me too
Did anyone ever get this working? I'm in the same boat.
No, I bought a nexus 5 and use the hacked apk. Worth trying on the one x though
