I'm using a HP iPAQ branded BT foldable keyboard and it works perfectly. I guess it is really a Stowaway Keyboard but I'm not 100% sure.

It folds out to an almost full size keyboard and has a nice retractable stand in the rear of the left half (the rear of the right half is occupied by a compartment for two rechargeable AAA-batteries).
[HD2 Accessories] psdos:
This post is very interesting for me. This summer had a Toshiba TG01, with same processor that HD2. Logitech V270 bluetooth mouse pair perfect with all services, it show cursor in screen how it is a PC. Addition TG01 had USB Host, very usable for me. I wait HTC in a future out some characteristic of this class for our HD2.

Best Regards.

well i can confirm that the current apple wireless keyboard works a treat, some keys are non functional like music and esc but you can pretty much do anything you need a keyboard for....
[HD2 Accessories] LarryLauLive:
I can confirm that apple
[HD2 Accessories] LarryLauLive:
Apologies - hit the save button prematurely.

I can confirm that apple keyboard model A1255 pairs and somewhat works with the HD2.

To pair them, go to settings, click on wrieless controls.

Press and hold the power button on the apple keyboard so that the green light blinks.(blink blink....blink blink)

Click on the bluetooth settings. The HD2 starts to search for bluetooth devices. It will find the apple keyboard. Once selected, it the HD2 attempts to connect to the keyboard, and displays the passcode to key into the apple keyboard.

However, the first time the connnection fails (although the HD2 reports connected). You will need to try again. When it connects properly, as you key in the passcode, the numbers turn to dots on the hd2. (541623 --> **1623 after pressing 54 on keyboard) press enter on keyboard and it's connected! The green light on keyboard stays off.

After that, the keyboard works, but with a lot of quirks. On word mobile, it mostly works fine, and the on screen keyboard stays out of the way. The shift key is stuck, and all symbols requiring the shift key doesn't work. However, on opera mobile, XT9 mode cannot be turned off.

Another quirk.... pressing buttons on the keyboard wakes the HD2 unless you delete the pairing. It asks if I want to accept a connection from the keyboard.

Hope this helps.

[HD2 Accessories] palmbluetooth:
Thanks works perfect with the HD2
[HD2 Accessories] Gadgety:
The HP iPAQ branded keyboard uses Broadcomm drivers which probably explains why it all works so well. It is also known under the name Freedom Universal Keyboard. They've got two versions, the 2 and the Pro, compatible with WM 6.5 and both Broadcom as well as MS BT stacks. I haven't got the HD2, and haven't tried either of these with it, just basing it on their website.
[HD2 Accessories] skippinshanghai:
If you bash those top few keys on the ThinkOutside Ultraslim for a while after you open up and they'll eventually work fine... trouble is, I love being able to rip open my keyboard and just bash away.

So "needing a warmup" is a problem :(

My Freedom Universal Keyboard 2 works a treat though... it's a bit bigger than my old faithful ThinkOutside, but it works. Is lighter than their latest model too.

And it's nice to have a number row again.

i heared that Logitech DiNoVo Mini needs usb reciver so how can it be used on hd2
[HD2 Accessories] btyeh:
You can pair it up with bluetooth-enabled devices without having to use the USB reciever. The reciever is just there for people who do not have bluetooth-enabled laptops / desktops (don't forget it was designed for computer / PS3 use). Pairing it with the HD2 is just a bonus.

"Bunglechunk Does anyone know of any keyboard that can easily switch between devices eg. PC/HD2? "

> I'm using "mymobiler" app to manage/monitor phone @work.

I think it's impossible to pair & share a BT kb with 2 devices simutaneously. Would really have been great though.
[HD2 Accessories] Bunglechunk:
That's what i use at the minute too. It would be nice to be able to pair a couple of devices, all it would take is a little port switch on the side/back of the board to switch devices. Never mind though!
[HD2 Accessories] llcooljazz:
I use the Freedom Universal Pro.

Really simple to setup you download drivers from otadrivers.com for the HD2 - install them and then all you have to is pair. Really nice - I love the fact you can just scroll through menus using the keypad - and writing is really simple.
[HD2 Accessories] azhayeva:
I bought the Freedom Pro keyboard, downloaded the drivers. Does not work properly: the shift key once used never returnes to the small case, AltGr key is no working at all. The Freedom program does not recognize the blue tooth, although the device being paired. After installing the software my HD2 stopped locking the screen. Have been reinstalling different ways, did not help. Wrote to support, asking whether it was drivers problem, they just asked to fill the return form.

But another question I have for Apple wireless keyboards with the HD2 is do you have any tips on how to use any keys for the left and right soft keys? I thought it was F1 and F2 but no luck.
[HD2 Accessories] madbird:
hi, i have an think outside (german layout) and a igo (english layout), both are supporting the ctrl key, i tested with cut 'crtl-x'/copy 'ctrl-c'/paste 'ctrl-v'. the englisch layout is completly supported the german not. as far as i know there are only some keys, mostly the ones that starts programms etc., that wont work, because there is no driver for it.

[HD2 Accessories] adamelphick:
I have an iGo Stowaway Ultra-Slim and although it works fine basically with the HD2 built in bluetooth stack it's not fully functional.

I installed the WM5 driver which installed OK however it says it doesn't recognise the stack... I'm guessing it's because the HD2 uses Widcom not MS... any ideas? Would be great if we could get all functions working as I remember using it on my Ameo and it was a great keyboard!

What's a disappointment! It acts wacky with Opera 10, makes double caps after a space, D-pad doesn't work properly (up/down goes out of control).

I give up...
[HD2 Accessories] horskj:
Yes, Celluon. Doesn't work with HD2, something to do with the non-MS compatible BT stack. Was fine on Kaiser (6.1) but HD2 uses different BT HW. Needs new WM6.5 driver from Celluon I think. Have a look at xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=635472.

Shame.

I have a DiNovo mini that works just fine with HD2, for writing. Can't comment of effects with some programs tho.

[HD2 Accessories] NigelO:
just to confirm - the full-size Logitech DiNovo Edge works fine with the HD2 - it connected in seconds and makes Office Mobile much easier to use

However, I find that its even easier to hook up the HD2 to the PC via MyMobiler so that you see the HD2 screen on your PC screen (as a separate window). You can zoom in to double size as well, so you're not straining the eyes to see a small screen. the keyboard input goes straight through the PC to the HD2, although there's a delay in the screen rendering, so it's no good for games or video

I had the Nokia SU-8W too and also the N95 before... The iGo Stowaway keyboard is just as good if not better and works on both platforms. I'm not sure how much they are now but I paid about £20 at the time.

You'll probably still get good money for the Nokia keyboard.

1.first i had problem to hard reset it,it is not done as users manual says.

2.Digital Compass app needs to Rereset after each soft reset.getting "Magnetic interference" Error

3.Screen is so sensitive that is almost impossible for me to write text messages or e mails.came off Touch Pro 2.there i had no problems.

4.my Volume UP button sudenly stoped working

i think,they rushed the release and made this device pain in the ass.maybe we need a NEW ROM!!!

[HD2 General] nicelad_uk:
With the screen being so sensitive... why does that make it impossible to write text messages? it just means you dont have to bend your screen when pressing so hard to press a key...?
[HD2 General] zoomee:
Having had a Touch HD - owning a TP2 (work) and just having sold an Iphone 3GS - I honestly love mine to bits.

Been playing with the phone all evening - and I have to say I am really impressed - Vibrant screen, awesome speed, gorgeous flash (vid's and pics are quite good too compared to my other/previous phones) - All in all I am well impressed. The OS sits together so well - not having to touch WinMo at all, that this is one ROM I might just stick with!!!

I like the hard buttons on the front of the device - one of the bad sides of the blackstone but I have to agree the screen is VERY sensitive. As I'll be getting an invisishield for it as soon as they are released - this will make it much more useable - struggling at the moment but I can honestly say its a good thing - VERY precise screen - compared to the iphone 3GS (which sometimes required a double press to register) - You just have to think about touching this phone and it reacts - lol :)

Overall - VERY PLEASED and super happy I ditched my iphone 3GS for this :D oh and its VERY slim - in fact one of the slimmest HTC devices I have ever laid my hands on. All in all about 2mm bigger in depth, width and height than a 3GS but with like 50% more display area - Now THIS is what I call an iphone killer.

[HD2 General] twisted-pixel:
I agree on the sensitivity....it's awful....if, for example, you type something incorrectly...VERY easy to do..then press delete quickly a few times, it doesn't delete..it starts typing random characters!!

hoping there's a setting for this somewhere. A screen protector might be the answer though in the short term

I also had to hard reset (because I wanted to..not for any other reason) and I followed the procedure in the manual, has been the same for all HTC devices I've had
[HD2 General] depl0y:
Not to *****, but the guys saying that the screen is too responsive... Are you used to capacitive screens? You need to get used to it for a bit, especially when you come from resistive screens.

Also, a phone that is TOO responsive? You never hear that from a WM phone ;).
[HD2 General] twisted-pixel:
compared to the iphone (yes, I know..I'm sorry) the screen is lousy!!
[HD2 General] polystirenman:
that's exactly what i ment.it is realy hard to wrife witbkut making a mistake.

So does it means that none of you guys hav this Digital Compass problem?after each soft reset i have to repeat that 8 shape pattern movement to make it work again.

anyway i am returning my to get a replacement.
[HD2 General] Moandal:
I don't have an HD2, but I think I've experienced this over-sensitivity on my iPod nano, which I presume has a capacitive scroll wheel.

Sometimes (although not usually) it becomes so sensitive that I don't have to actually touch the scroll wheel for the songs to scroll. It then becomes almost impossible to choose the song I actually want because when I move my finger to the select button the song changes before I can select it - very, very annoying and frustrating. I'm not sure why it's sometimes much worse than at other times. Maybe it's the temperature of my finger or something.

Anyway, it sounds like this is the same sort of thing that's happening on the HD2. It's a real pain on my iPod, and I would find it totally unacceptable on a device like the HD2.
[HD2 General] kinnyfaifai:
Its just a case of getting used to the screen. Our fingers are too used to resistive screens that we don't actually lift our fingers enough and drag across the screen since unless we apply enough pressure on resistive screen it won't do anything. With capacitive we just need to re-train our fingers to lift off the screen another 1mm and it'll be fine.

Here's my suggestions:

1) Try typing slower to start with.

2) Or turn phone to landscape as the keys on the onscreen keyboard are slightly wider.

I can type quite quickly in landscape with between 1-3 errors per an SMS. :D

I'm loving this phone right now!
[HD2 General] pietrucci:
You're 100% right!

I also was very frustrated and irritated the first two days. But then I realized how responsive the screen is. Just a very very light touch already gives a reaction. And now I'm loving it more and more by the minute...
[HD2 General] ageorgiou1984:
Mine was delivered with a faulty 'Volume UP' button. I've sent it back for replacement.
[HD2 General] appelflap:
Just try another keyboard. One that doesn't allow to change a character once you pressed a character on the keyboard. Fingertouch Pro and Resco Keyboard Pro for example are great keyboards for the sensitive screen of the HD2. I myself like the Resco keyboard. It responds and looks very similar to the iphone keyboard.

BTW Fingertouch pro and Resco Keyboard Pro both allows you to make use of gestures. Together with this feature text input is a breeze on the HD2 :D

(Better yet is MessagEase, but unfortunately, under WinMob 6.5, it has some real problems).
[HD2 General] be_vigilant:
Hey I am in wakefield too! Small world :-)

I have to agree the screen is very sensitive. I am sure with a weeks usage I will be ok.

I have to say though I am so in love with the phone. The speed is perfect. No more waiting to load SMS\email screen etc like with my touch HD.
[HD2 General] Tanmay®:
Hehe thats what happens with everyone who switch over from Resistive to Capacitive, at first they will hate it as they're too used to resistive.

But just within 2-3 days they realize just how much better Capative is. Resistive just sucks IMO. Typing is way quicker using a Capactive panel.
[HD2 General] wilbur:
I had exactly the same experience switching to my G1 - I sent the first one back after a few hours as i was convinced the screen wasn't working. The next handset was was the same. A day or so of use later and I was sold and never looked back.

no..the screen is definitely too sensitive...this is not my first capacitive screen btw.

if you have formatted your device you will need to flash a new rom from bootloader :rolleyes:

I could not find it here but the is soooo much to read and search

I know that there are a few lines in the Register wher i can make some changes to change the delay etc. I have tried tha but it doen't change much.

the delay in the ringtone is not a registry issue, its because the htc dialer uses alot of ram 5-10mb so it takes a few seconds to load, if you dont want a delay, disable the dialer and use the normal windows one or look for a diffrent dialer to replace it, there are some free ones floating about
