Hi

I am typing this from a freedom universal 2 kb that I just got somewhat working on my htc EVO 3D. The basic keyboard works fine (only in HID) but the special fn's do not. As it was a bit tricky and inconsistent I thought this post might help.

What I learned is this

I can pair but not connect the kb to the phone in SPP

Passcode prompt for above is always 4 digits

I can pair and connect the kb to KeyPro in SPP

I cannot pair (nor connect) the kb to KeyPro in HID

I can pair and connect the kb to the phone in HID

The passcode prompt for above varies from 4 to 7 digits. Read below.

Regarding the latter above, this was tricky. If you get a 4 digit passcode prompt (0000 or 1234) it would pair but not connect.

Turn off the phone bluetooth and turn back on and rediscover the keyboard until you get a 7 digit passcode then type it into the kb and hit enter. Do not make the phone discoverable. Let the phone find the kb. This pairs and connects great every time you on| off the kb.

So I conclude that since KeyPro only works in SPP, but the phone cannot , KeyPro cannot be used.

But the kb can in HID with the phone. I still can set the input method to KeyPro so

The phone does not pop up the input or swipe kb when I choose to use my bluetooth kb.

Also, tried the Freedom Pro android driver but would not connect to the Universal 2 kb.

OH WELL, AT LEAST I CAN USE IT FOR BASIC TYPING IN CONJUCTION WITH A FEW POKES ON THE TOUCHSCREEN TO NAVIGATE BETWEEN APPS. How I got cap locks to somehow work on this last line I still can't figure out. This is the one thing that doesn't work on the kb and I have been trying to figure out. If some knows how I did this please reply.

BbbbbbHHHBbbbbbbbhhhhhhhhHHhhhhbbbbbbb

HOW WTF. NEED A SOLID BLACK BLACK BOTTOM TRIANGLE ON THE CURSOR. USE SHIFT + LETTER THEN SHIFT TWICE. GOT IT NOW.
