Hey everyone. I am on my second moto 360 due to battery issues and on my first watch I had the Microsoft keyboard installed and it worked okay but wasn't the fastest or most efficient.
I saw the round minnum keyboard with development haunted and was very frustrated. I was wondering if anyone knows how to get the round Minnum or regular without a connector cable and just adb over Bluetooth.
Does anyone know of any other keyboards? Thanks for any help.

looking at the above right now, but the review are very mixed!
I know about the Apple Bluetooth Keyboard but I hate Apple and don't really want to give them money. (stupid, I know.) if it really is the best let me know, but otherwise I'd like to hear what other people have chosen.
thanks!
Dang, I'd love to get this, but yeah, the whole "keys are wearing out" thing is scaring me away.
You know, I hope, that only the Freedom keyboard and some software will work on the Evo with the exception of if you're running CM6 rom.
By default, HTC doesn't support the HID profile on the evo.

yeah I'm on CM6
Cool. I ran CM6 for awhile and used my stowaway BT foldable. Worked great, even connected a full size BT keyboard and it worked.

I purchased this keyboard for my Evo.

The keyboard includes a psp joystick like mouse on it. I figured a bluetooth keyboard with a built in mouse would be perfect for CM6. However bluetooth mice don't recognize when the phone is in landscape mode so it things up is left, down is right, etc. Also the keyboard disconnects like every 15 minutes and its really annoying.
Just a warning, if you're using CM6 there are some issues with landscape mode. If you're like me and you love the kickstand you'll put the phone in landscape mode. In landscape mode if you press the up arrow the cursor goes left, down is right, right is up, left is down. These issues have been existent since the release of CM6 and I doubt they'll be fixed soon since nobody talks about them.
You can buy apps that will let you connect to a bluetooth keyboard on any rom that will not have these weird arrow issues in landscape mode.

that thing looks pretty awesome. Do you think the disconnecting issue is because of the keyboard or because of the bluetooth software on the phone / rom?
I definitely wanna get one of these types of keyboards.

Got a link to some of those apps that allow you to connect a bluetooth keyboard?
Teksoft's Blueinput is getting ready for a beta release that may HOPEFULLY bring BT HID to the rest of us!!!!!

just for a heads up i had a ketboard prob on my old laptop
so i got this same exact thing and it was crappy
the key board to get it to type a key you need to take a hammer and nail your finger through the hole thing lol
because there is no sprint or senser it is so hard from where its water proof i guess it took me 5 mins to type one word because you would start typin and look and there would be nothin or maybe one letter i actully have it still in my room collecting dust
Hi, I am using an HTC Droid Incredible with the Skyraider 4.0 Rom with HTC Sense. I know that HTC and Samsung Galaxy S devices are known for their notorious yet annoying, inconvenient, evil, ****ty bluetooth in their stock roms. The main reason why I'm keeping a Sense rom is because of the tv out cable (yay Netflix on the big screen!). I was on CM7 before, which I loved, except for the occasional reboot and the inability to use my tv out cable. I think since I can tether my phone to my laptop and I can get an HDMI cable, it probably won't be a big a deal, but its still nice to have to be able to see your phone scree on the tv screen, especially for gaming. But I'm more impressed with playing these games on the go with both my phone and my gamepad, which so far I had to take apart to get the D-pad working. I still have to get one more button working Not happy that they were careless since I forked over close to 100 dollars, which included shipping.
But onto the point. I tried upgrading my firmware on the unit, but it didn't show the part where it showed to put in the "1234" pin, but did everything else and it looked like it said it was updated. Even before then I was connected to Bluez IME before updating the firmware (supposedly). I was able to type out with the buttons, excluding the few that weren't working and I even configured it with the key mapping in SNesoid, but for God forsaken reason, it didn't do anything when I pushed the buttons. This is really weird and its making me mad I was looking forward to a better experience than this and it's frustrating. I just want to know if there's any solution at all, anything before flashing the CM7 backup again. If there's anyone out there with a problem like this with this phone or similar, I would really appreciate it. Thank you very much.
By the way, I did post on the Pandora forums, but no one responded, not even Craigix or any of the other moderators so this is my only hope right now.
I'm having a similar problem with my SGT(p1010). BlueZ will say connecting in the notifications tray, and then the icp will time out and I get Error: failed to connect to socket. Any ideas anyone?
I believe in the booklet with the iControlPad says the way to do it is to hold Y down and then press and hold start along with Y. Make sure you updated the firmware too before you do anything. I'm loving my iControlPad. I don't have to sacrifice Sense and I can do all my old school gaming on my TV screen thanks to the TV out cable

I am planning to buy bluetooth keyboard and mouse for my Note. My first instinct was to buy Apple keyboard but after browsing around I realized Android keys on the keyboard are going to be very helpful. I finally settled with this keyboard http://www.logitech.com/en-us/keyboards/keyboard/devices/8232 but it is designed for 3.0+. In S2 forum, I saw one guy had to flash specific custom ROM/kernel to get it working. Anyone paired this keyboard with Note? I don't want to wait until ICS (given that this keyboard needs 3.0+) nor want to fiddle around installing different ROMs.
(something strange happened and I lost all the text and URLs I searched and collected in my previous post though 'Submit New Thread' button click appeared to work as it should)
I've used it, works fine including the shortcut keys.
I've tried to connect Zaggs BT keyboard and mouse to Gnote 10.1 2014, but it loose connection after few minutes.
Has anyone else experience this issue with connecting different (multiple) BT devices?

I am having the same issue with my belkin keyboard. The Note 2014 doesn't even recognize it. Pissing me off. It does however, recognize a mac os wireless keyboard, which I am typing on now, as my belkin sits next to it. WTF? My old Note 10.1 had no issues whatsoever.
I'm having the same issue, I've tried a Logitech K810 and an Apple bluetooth keyboard. Both seem to connect and disconnect on and off when I'm not touching them. If I am typing a long sentence it's OK, but as soon as I take my hands off the keyboard for more than a few seconds, it may or may not disconnect, and can take several seconds and repeated keypresses to reconnect. This is pretty terrible actually. I'm guessing something has changed with the bluetooth, whether hardware or software I don't know. I sincerely hope this is a software problem which can be patched. The bluetooth keyboard experience is currently unusable for me. Not acceptable, Samsung.

I have the exact same problem with my K810. It takes about a second of not typing for it to disconnect. Makes it very hard to type while you're still formulating what you want to say. I gave up on it completely.
This is most likely an Android 4.3 bug. Apparently bluetooth keyboards are broken.
http://dorkfiles.com/google-android-os-4-3-fails-compatibility-with-numerous-bluetooth-keyboards/
There are various fixes that involve rooting but I haven't decided if I should go for it. Last I checked the Android bug lists that issues was closed with something like "fixed in a future release" so who knows how long it will be before a fix gets pushed out.
It isn't just bluetooth keyboards. I've noticed that despite being advertised as having bluetooth 4.0, the new GN10.1 2014 won't see my BT 4.0 mouse at all. FYIW, my motorola keyboard drops out just like everyone else is describing and I've noticed that BT speakers drop connection a few seconds after sound stops playing through them. I'd have to say that overall, the BT in this tablet is almost unusable for most things.
Maybe not an issue in Android 4.3
Good day.
I'm having this issue in my Note 10.1 2014 with a K810 keyboard, as you said, it is imposible to use... but with my Galaxy S4, it works like charm, without problems. First I think it was due to my S4 has Android 4.2.2, but last week I get the OTA upgrade to Android 4.3. And I can still use my K810 without a problem. Maybe the problem is with the compilation for the Note.
Any idea to solve the problem.
Thanks.
Some people have fixed issues they were having with Bluetooth by doing the following....
Go to settings > Connections > Bluetooth > Hit menu button > Visibility Timeout > and change it to Never.
However it could just be a software issue like you say.

Thanks a lot for the tip. But unfortunately this not solve the problem.
I hope in the next update the problem will be solve.
I thought I'd mention that so far I've not had a problem using my bluetooth keyboard but mine is this one:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/HP-FB409AA-ABU-TouchPad-Wireless/dp/B0058CZX70/ref=sr_1_11?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1386788555&sr=1-11&keywords=bluetooth+keyboard
The only problem is that I find it is somewhat laggy. It can't seem to keep up with my typing. I'll have to test it more.

I am having the same problem with a Poetic Keybook, at first I thought the BT keyboard was faulty but I then tried a Rii Mini BT keyboard and I have the exact same problem, the connection lasts about 10 seconds and then disconnects. It is really irritating because it causes the Galaxy Gear to disconnect and then reconnect as well. The only way to get the keyboard to re-connect quickly is by turning it off and then back on again. From the other replies to this post it does seem to ba a common problem with the Note 10.1 2014. I certainly hope Samsung addresses this rather serious issue in the next OTA release.
This has been discussed. It appears to be a h/w issue with certain devices. People have used ROMs from other regions and the issue remained. Others exchanged their devices and using the same peripherals in the same environment had no problems with the newly received unit. I use a BT keyboard for hours at a time and have never had a disconnection issue.

returning note 10.1 2014
The Logitech 920-003390 Tablet Keyboard for Android 3.0 Plus, would not stay connected
Just returned the Note 10.1 2014. Amazon is sending another 10.1 .
What are the chances of the new one being any better (slim to none ?) ?
Replacement 10.1 2014, fixed BT issues
Just received the replacement unit, thanks Amazon and FedEx!!
did all the Samsung updates
I have had no problems over the past couple hours
What does this mean??
Is this bluetooth keyboard issue a hardware thing ?
Received my M8 this past Monday. Great phone, but wondering if anyone else having this issue and if I should try to get it replaced now. I've noticed that when I have the HTC keyboard up and running, it will randomly "glitch out." Like a tiling picture almost just on the keyboard section. Now I know I can just use another keyboard. I was an advent Google keyboard fan as I'm coming from the last 2 Nexus devices (4 and 5). Just wondering if this is happening to anyone else. I searched online, but only seeing others complain about the language input.
Thanks

Do a factory reset, and see if that changes anything for you.
Same here, although not as often as in M7.
