[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haphim:
Either it's a defective phone, a defective battery, or an app is pulling all the juice. I find the majority of the time this happens, once I get the phone up, the battery level is very low. Is this the case with you as well?

Also, if you have two Atrix's, you can try swapping the battery and seeing if the problem stays with the same phone or not.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bzmotoninja83:
What it sounds like to me is an issue called "kernel panic" that captivate users experienced. Most referee to it as charge death or sleep death. The phone kind of goes into this sleep mode and the CPU slows way down. The OS tries to up the clock speed to wake itself back up. With the captivate, I had a burning electronics smell under the cover. You said you had a custom rom...... are there any "known" issues that might cause it? Have you tried using setcpu to make sure the minimum clock speed isn't the problem? I know I don't have an atrix, but I should be getting one soon. I have the Infuse 4g right now.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haphim:
I find that fascinating. This is the first I've heard of anything like it. And the only thing being run is a Fruitcake build - as close to stock as you can get for a ROM. But I've got the same fruitcake build on other Atrix's that don't have any problems, so I think we can probably rule that out.

Is there any way to diagnose whether this is what's happening without making any changes? Or is that the only way?

Also, is this problem known to have its roots in hardware or software?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bzmotoninja83:
Some have issues in hardware others arose from botched roms. Shouldn't really say botched, but not installed right. I know with the other phones I have had, they recomend that you wipe, install, factory wipe, then reboot. All in cwr. Like dalvik, and such. Have you swapped the batteries yet? Or maybe, make sure you get the battery to an actual 100%. Charge to full, turn off, plug in, charge again to full. Reboot to recovery and wipe battery stats. If all else fails, call at&t and tell them your battery is failing. They should send you another.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bzmotoninja83:
Anything yet?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TTousey:
I don't have many apps on the phone and this started happening almost immediately after I got the phone; before I had any apps loaded. Thus it sounds like it might be the phone or the battery. I don't have another phone to check the battery out. Might have to take the phone back and see if they will give me a new phone or battery.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haphim:
I'll see if I can get another battery and see if the problem continues to occur. Thanks!

I got one of the hp touchpad bluetooth keyboards on sale with the touchpad. It pairs easily with the touchpad, but if I try to pair it with my android phone, I get prompted for a passcode.

Does anyone know the bluetooth passcode for the keyboard?

***EDIT

Figured it out: apparently android by default doesn't have the capability yet to sync properly with bt keyboards by itself yet (Cyanogenmod might work.) To make it work, I got an app 'Bluetooth Keyboard Easyconnect' from the market. Just turn on bluetooth, open the app, and turn on the hp touchpad keyboard (in that order) and wait - it will sync automatically. Don't try to force the pairing in the bluetooth settings page for your phone.

If you do have a rom that allows manual pairing from the bluetooth settings by default, to sync you need to enter a passcode on your phone when prompted (anything you want - i used 0000), and then type the same code on the bt keyboard and press enter.

[TouchPad Accessories] RojasTKD:
Try 000 (three zeros) or 0000 (four zeros). That is what most devices I have tried use.

HP official bluetooth keyboard

I got this for $28 at best buy, and while it works decent with the touchpad, I am wondering: Can it work with other devices?

I got it to pair with windows 7, but when I type, nothing happens. Has anybody else had any success? Something I'm not doing perhaps?
[TouchPad Accessories] Sincitybronze:
Every comment I've seen about this says the keyboard works only with the touchpad. There is some concern that the keyboard may not even work on the touchpad if/when Android is ported to it.
[TouchPad Accessories] BlueGoldAce:
So can your confirm that this keyboard can indeed work with android phones/devices? I just received my purchase of this keyboard, and it looks and feels great. But I don't want a bluetooth keyboard that will only work with WebOS.

Thanks
[TouchPad Accessories] needslipo:
Works fine with android and webos. Haven't tried it with anything else but it seems to be a generic bt keyboard so I'm sure it's within its capabilities to work on windows or mac.
[TouchPad Accessories] BadBoyNDSU:
I have a stock Evo 3D. And it works that.
[TouchPad Accessories] Thracia:
I can confirm it pairs with the iPad 2, so (presumably) it should also pair with other iOS devices. The iPad asks that you punch in a code to confirm the sync, but I wonder if it's static?
[TouchPad Accessories] eatkabab:
Will this work with Win7?

I currently use the apple BT keyboard for Win7 but used "KeyTweak" to remap the key strokes in the registry for buttons such as delete and the media keys. Everything else works just dandy (cept the damn Ctrl key is in the wrong place...stupid Apple)

Would it be safe to assume that the Touchpad keyboard would work the same and require remapping of a few keys here and there? I see one person above said that they couldn't get it to work with Win7, but then again many people say that it doesn't work with Android and it definitely does...

Thank you all!
[TouchPad Accessories] JCreazy:
I have been able to pair up with my touchpad, 2 android phones, and a ps3 so I am assuming it will work on any bluetooth enabled device
[TouchPad Accessories] Mekkakat:
I can't freaking get mine to pair. I can clearly see it, but after putting in the password (I've tried 000, 0000, 1234, 0123, 01234, and ABC) it just keeps asking if I want to pair it again. I'm assuming I don't have the correct PW. Anyone else have one that might work? I'm running the latest CM7 nightly and using the CM7 BT options.

Also, I downloaded that app mentioned earlier and it like.. doesn't work at all.
[TouchPad Accessories] coffmad:
im having the exact same problem, im running MIUI on my s2 and just cant get it working, with or without the app :( within the app the keyboard just doesn't show up >_< i just want to pair it up so that i can get confirmation that it will still work when i flash android (when its available) to my touchpad :/ please help!
[TouchPad Accessories] yujikaido79:
My Hp Keyboard works with Windows 7 and my dell streak 7 running honeystreak, no app needed. They both ask me to enter in a number upon pairing and they both work great.
[TouchPad Accessories] GerardSamija:
I used this app to pair a new HP Touchpad keyboard I bought through Craigslist yesterday for $40. Worked within a few minutes of poking around. My Samsung Infuse is rooted, thanks to a modded Rogers ROM someone shared here. Pairing took a bit of figuring out, mostly because I have Droidwall running and hadn't granted permissions for the app. Then I installed Null Keyboard to get rid of the thumb keyboard while typing. Works AWESOMELY well in QuickOffice and other text editors.

My only complaint is a weirdness in the native email application which makes the keyboard unusable there. I can type random-length text, anywhere from a few words to a short paragraph, then it freezes for a few seconds, then I get a 'text copied to clipboard' message and the new message or reply I was starting vanishes. Not to the Drafts folder or Trash, just gone like it was never there. Doesn't happen with any other input method, as the email application seems generally stable and good. Of course I can write messages in a text editor then copy/paste them into email, but that's a bit of a pain. Anyone heard of this glitch?

Otherwise the HP keyboard is amazingly compact and comfortable to use. There are a few keys which don't seem to work at all and some weird key functions I'll have to learn, like the sideways arrow keys navigate vertically and the vertical arrows do nothing... and how Control A doesn't select all text etc, and how symbol and numeral entry uses odd key combinations, but for basic text entry it's solid. With a good external keyboard for this phone my jump from Windows Mobile is complete, I'm happy to have made the leap.
[TouchPad Accessories] eatkabab:
So I finally got my keyboard. It paired with Win 7 no problems. My issue now is that the "power" button did not remap to the "del" button and program "KeyTweak" doesn't even recognize the "power" button key stroke for me to remap it.

Any ideas? Thank you!
[TouchPad Accessories] eatkabab:
when using the keyboard with android, the keyboard looses connection when it drops into hibernate. It doesn't re-establish connection and must be re-paired from android....am I doing something wrong?
[TouchPad Accessories] yuugotserved:
so is it only me but the delete button only deletes a letter (in a word document) at a time and does not continuously delete even if it's held down?
[TouchPad Accessories] GerardSamija:
Holding down any key causes it to repeat for me, including the delete key. This is with a Samsung Infuse.
[TouchPad Accessories] Mekkakat:
So what am I doing wrong? When I got to connect with any of my Android devices, I get to the password screen and it just won't connect after that. I've tried 000, 0000, 1234 etc, with no avail. Is there a special code?
[TouchPad Accessories] GerardSamija:
When I first connected the HP Touchpad keyboard I had to enter a 6 digit code, if memory serves. It wasn't generic - rather a proper code, something you couldn't guess at particular to the pairing request. I entered it (there was a time limit too, a countdown... maybe, but I've been doing a lot of setting up of stuff on this thing and forgetting more than I remember), and since then have not been asked for it. Connecting is a bit twitchy the odd time but mostly I just toggle power on the keyboard off and on again if it's taking more than half a minute to connect. I typically see a pop-up 2 to 4 times on the phone saying the HP keyboard is connecting before it actually does.
[TouchPad Accessories] epikphone:
Odd. I can't even get the keyboard (for the HP TouchPad) to pair. Are you just using the stock Bluetooth settings page to connect?

edit: Scratch that -- somehow it worked. And then I used Bluetooth Keyboard EasyConnect. Works like a charm.
[TouchPad Accessories] GerardSamija:
Huh? I'm using the app linked to at the beginning of this thread, this one here:

https://market.android.com/details?id=net.mybesttools.btkbservice&feature=search_result

When I look into Applications > Network... etc and to the Bluetooth settings I see the Bluetooth checkbox is not checked. Everything as default. I launch Bluetooth from the native radios widget, then launch Bluetooth Keyboard EasyConnect, then turn on power on the HP keyboard and hit a few keys and wait. That's what needslipo said to do, that's what I do, and it works. There was the initial passcode requirement on pairing of course as with any Bluetooth accessory, but I only saw that once, never since.
[TouchPad Accessories] somting:
I just paired my HP TouchPad Keyboard to my Droid X by doing this:

1) Turn on the HP TouchPad Keyboard (Power button is a slider on the end of the battery compartment)

2) If you have an HP TouchPad paired with the Keyboard, disable Bluetooth on the TouchPad

3) Enable Bluetooth on the device you want to pair (menu, settings, Wireless, put a check in the Bluetooth box)

4) Go to Bluetooth settings and scan for devices

* You should see the HP TouchPad Keyboard - if not, scan again. It took me a couple tries for some reason.

5) Your phone should prompt you to enter a code. Type 0000 and attempt to pair with the keyboard

6) Immediately after step 5 (while it is trying to pair), press 0000 <enter> on the keyboard.

I didn't use any special apps, but my Droid X is running Gingerbread.

Good luck!
[TouchPad Accessories] topcaser:
Can you use media keys with Android?
[TouchPad Accessories] GerardSamija:
The volume up/down keys of the Touchpad keyboard work for my Samsung Infuse. Pause and Previous/Next don't in Music Player, nor do brightness keys nor the Power key. Volume adjust keys work both in a media player and for the ringer volume when no media player is open.

Funny thing... I just thought to try the Bluetooth alone with the keyboard, not using the Bluetooth Keyboard EasyConnect app at all. Worked like a charm within 15 seconds. So I uninstalled Bluetooth Keyboard EasyConnect and tried toggling Bluetooth again, and sure enough, within 15 seconds the keyboard was working. I can time it exactly as I had installed MRK Bluetooth Autoplay a week ago, and set up one automated launch - a Notepad app - to appear as soon as the HP keyboard was paired. When that Notepad appears, obviously the pairing is complete, confirmed when I begin typing and it works.

That autoplay choice was because the email app was dropping my new emails anywhere from 1 second to 30 seconds into typing them. Didn't know why, it just deleted any recipient, subject, and text I'd put into a reply or new message and it was nowhere to be found, as though I'd done nothing. Now, I find that I can write and write for as long as I wish, since uninstalling Bluetooth Keyboard EasyConnect and relying on the native Bluetooth connection. It could be that the pairing initially required Bluetooth Keyboard EasyConnect, but I'll never know otherwise since that's the only thing I tried. Anyway, I've now reconfigured MRK Bluetooth Autoplay to launch Email on pairing with the keyboard. Wish it'd offer an option to open my primary account, but it's just one click from the Email accounts root anyway so no big deal.

There's only one minor glitch without Bluetooth Keyboard EasyConnect. It seems that my Enter key no longer performs line breaks, but only a problem in the Email app. The Enter key works perfectly well for this in Notepad and QuickOffice, so it's a flaw in Email. And I'm happy to accept this over the random quits!

And I'd heartily recommend MRK Bluetooth Autoplay to anyone using a Bluetooth keyboard. If I leave Bluetooth running on the Samsung Infuse and have the autoplay option checked for turning the screen on when Email is launched, the screen stays black with the device powered off for 15 seconds, then blinks away with Email already open. Or of course a browser would work, or whatever program you wish to have launch on pairing. It's a really handy little app.

Keylayout File

So I put together a key layout file for us. Put this in /system/usr/keylayout and then reboot.

Note: The App Switch key doesn't work on my Transformer (Android 3.2) but it may work on other versions. It can also be remapped by changing the action for code 125. Also, I haven't had luck mapping the Power key. And finally, the Keyboard key and the Brightness keys do not get recognized at all by Android and are unmappable.

Enjoy.
[TouchPad Accessories] GerardSamija:
Perhaps I'm being dumb... but I can't see a link for this keylayout file. There's a little 'default' icon and the words 'Keylayout File' but no link.
[TouchPad Accessories] ViViDboarder:
Hmm... nope, you're right. I don't see it attached... wtf? I'll re up it when I get home.
[TouchPad Accessories] ViViDboarder:
Ok, bumping so you guys can see the file. Here it is.

Unzip that file and put the .kl file in /system/usr/keylayout and then reboot.
[TouchPad Accessories] leanbackevan:
yeah me 2. i got mines paired up with the touchpad and the Samsung galaxy Tab 7" (gingerbread). On the Galaxy tab, a screen popped up with a message to confirm the code on the keyboard. it was a 6 digit code that i typed on the keyboard, and a second later i was hooked up.
[TouchPad Accessories] GerardSamija:
I gave the file a try, but nothing changed. The cursor key mappings are still rotated 90 degrees off from what would be intuitively useful in landscape mode - and I tried editing the file to correct this for the more common landscape typing, but changes didn't stick no matter how I re-mapped the four keys - and nothing else is any different for my Samsung phone, so no point using this for me anyway. Thanks for whatever you were trying to do.
[TouchPad Accessories] DigitalMD:
Most likely your device is not even using this new file because its not in the build. Try backing up and editing the Generic.kl or qwerty.kl file on the device to map the keys.
[TouchPad Accessories] GerardSamija:
Got it! I finally got results for landscape mode typing (left-side-down, power button up - though I'm sure it'd work the other way around with opposite mappings) by editing the Broadcom_Bluetooth_HID.kl file. The defaults for the cursor keys were:

key 108 DPAD_DOWN WAKE_DROPPED

key 103 DPAD_UP WAKE_DROPPED

key 105 DPAD_LEFT WAKE_DROPPED

key 106 DPAD_RIGHT WAKE_DROPPED

I changed these to:

key 108 DPAD_LEFT WAKE_DROPPED

key 103 DPAD_RIGHT WAKE_DROPPED

key 105 DPAD_UP WAKE_DROPPED

key 106 DPAD_DOWN WAKE_DROPPED

... powered off and back on, and the cursor keys work correctly in this left-tipped landscape orientation. Now if only the CAPS LOCK didn't stick once in a while... and if only I could map Ctrl C and Ctrl V and a bunch of other key combos... but that's asking too much from a phone I guess... only, I could do all that stuff and more with any number of folding keyboards on a Casio Pocket PC back in 2001, and with bunches of other Pocket PCs ever since using a pile of other keyboards, infrared or serial-connected. I wonder why so many devices are going backwards in word processing software fuctionality while progressing so nicely in hardware and many other sorts of software. Seems odd that social networking nonsense is so abundantly supported (like it or not, and for me it's a big NOT) while such basic efficiencies as keyboard shortcuts have faded out. Even the trusty old IR port, useful for so many folding keyboards, is long-gone.

--- For the record, I just swapped the cursor orientations for a second orientation file, so I can swap between the two landscape modes, and this worked for power-button-down landscape on the Samsung Infuse:

key 108 DPAD_RIGHT WAKE_DROPPED

key 103 DPAD_LEFT WAKE_DROPPED

key 105 DPAD_DOWN WAKE_DROPPED

key 106 DPAD_UP WAKE_DROPPED

I have a Motorola keyboard that I bought for my Xoom. When I realized the Acer Iconia was the same tablet, cheaper, with a usb port, I sold my Xoom and bought that. The keyboard works with it as well as my HP Touchpad. After reading your post I was hopeful for connecting it to my Thunderbolt. This apps continues to try to connect it bit unfortunately it's a no go. It says "Connecting Motorola Bluetooth Wireless", then "Bluetooth Keyboard Easy Connect has been granted Superuser Permissions", but that's it. The cycle has been repeating for the last 10 minutes and my Thunderbolt doesn't respond to the keyboard.

HP Touchpad Keyboard layouts

There's a discussion on changing the layouts including utilities to edit them on Google Code. I can't post links but if you google the following you will find it: cmtouchpad 73

Also I posted there a HP Touchpad UK keyboard layout.

I have it working great under cm7.1 on my Desire. Although getting it to pair for the first time always seems problematic.

Has anyone had trouble getting their HP TouchPad BT keyboard to pair with their TouchPad (whether in webOS or Android) reliably? Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I'd say it's about 50/50 as to whether it'll pair at any given time.

At home when I'm not using the TouchPad, I leave it sitting on the kitchen island in front of the BT keyboard. When I want to check a Web site or send an email, I sit down, turn on the TP, and tap a key on the keyboard to pair them. Again, this works about half the time. Sometimes I can resolve the issue by toggling the switch on the battery compartment (is that definitely a switch and not just a slide lock for the battery compartment?!), and when that doesn't work I've even popped the batteries out of the keyboard and put them back in. Sometimes that doesn't even work and I have to delete and re-add the pairing.

Has this been anyone else's experience? If so, have you found a solution for it? If not, are you using some other way to get the tablet and the keyboard to pair reliably?
[TouchPad Accessories] ktklein72:
Ok, so with the help listed herein I was able to get the HP BT Kbd to pair w/my Touchpad 32MB running CM7.1 A3.5. Is there a keyboard combination to simulate ESC or the Arrow Back from the softkey bar at the bottom of the tablet? I am running SwiftKey X and have not tried the native keyboard as of yet. CAPS LOCK is among several of the physical keys not working, so if there is a sequence for that too I am interested to know. Thanks.

Has anyone underclocked their O2X? I personally think that overclock is a bit of a placebo effect so I just want to know if anyone has underclocked their phone and if they can kindly share the performance of the phone as well as some benchmarks. I've seen people underclock their Galaxy S2 right down to 500mhz and performance is very smooth! Is O2X similar?
[LG Optimus 2x] otonvm:
I didn't do any benchmarks (speaking of placebo effect :) ) but I use setcpu with vorkkernel so that my top frequency gets more and more limited with the battery level and overnight. This way I manage to only loose 1-2% during the night and the phone alive for a couple of hours when under 15%.

I noticed a certain UI lag when under 500mhz but not so much in the graphics department, I guess the gpu has it's own clock.
