@lanealot -

i also enjoy the ownership of a stowaway keyboard, and i too am suffering from the stuck key problems that you describe.

interestingly, i also own a rocketfish bluetooth keyboard, which is a full size keyboard, and it also exhibits the stuck key problem, but to a far greater degree. while i found the stowaway usable, if somewhat annoying, the rocketfish is completely unusable, with a key 'sticking' very frequently.

put that in your pipe and smoke it...

as for additional shortcuts, i am unsure if i recall this exactly, but i am fairly certain that blue FN+D = call button/green button on other devices.

i have found that i only need to run the hidd--connect command again if i let the screen turn off. so long as i do not let it turn off, i can type away happily without interruption, aside from the pesky stuck key thing, of course.

anyway, please post back if you discover a solution to the stuck key problem.
[Nexus One Accessories] Lancealot:
That's great stuff, thanks berish!

I found out some other neat stuff that works well.

Create a GScript:

hidd --server --search

hidd --show

The last line is optional, however this combination seems to work much better and doesn't display the error messages.

I've also noticed another issue with the keyboard. When typing, sometimes the ALT character screen comes up for the last key pressed. It can be bothersome.

Looking through aLogCat, which is a great program by the way, I've noticed a number of events occur relating to the layout of the keyboard which I imagine could be modified to alter the keyboard response. ;)

I'll continue playing for now.

Cheers

ASE is Android Scripting Environment. I don't think it is in the App Market, but is available in Google Code. Search for "android scripting environment" since I am not allowed to post links to the forum.

Once you install the main app, then you can add interpreters such as Python, etc. The scripts can even be run by a Locale plugin, although I have never tried that.

If you use aTrackDog it will let you know then there are updates and take you to the download page. (Although aTrackDog has lots of false alarms for updates to various packages for some reason.)

Hello, I managed to build a bluetooth spp gamepad for my milestone (needs root) youtube.com/watch?v=FK4E7r2-osE and youtube.com/watch?v=9HWABCR2mwM . But I have no idea how to connect to a hid device. Do i need a modified kernel?
[Nexus One Accessories] Draaktatsu:
I managed to get Bluetooth HID working! But i used a completely different method.

Google BimejiHID on japanese google.

second post down, the main link in the post.

This wonderful character build a pretty decent HID stack, however you need some japanese language ability to get through the installation and end up with a japanese/english keyboard while typing.

Thanks to my 2 years of japanese studies I managed to get through the install. You may want to try google translate but it was real bad in my opinion.

If there are any people that are interested I may just make an english guide for it.

Im using the freedom universal keyboard on HID right now, for free :P. No terminal hack necessary either.

SIP is apparently supported but i haven't gotten it to work.

Now i can finnaly take notes with it at school.
[Nexus One Accessories] carrot34:
Hey Draaktatsu -- I'd be extremely interested in checking out an English guide to how you got HID working through this method.

Thanks!

Hmmm...There's a video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rt6xo2LZeLc

of an Android device (Archos 5 tablet) easily and smoothly pairing with a Stowaway bluetooth keyboard. Does this give anyone any clues on how to enable something similar for the Nexus One?

Thanks,

Alan

Could anyone currently on froyo using a bluetooth keyboard please report if this issue has been resolved please? :D
[Nexus One Accessories] iamwhoamnot:
id be interested to know if there has been anymore insight into this, the one thing i hate about this phone is the lack of a physical keyboard
[Nexus One Accessories] DPNH:
iGo / Dell / ThinkOutside StowAway Ultra-Slim - Working

Works very well with (rooted) N1 and * Stowaway Ultra-Slim Keyboards.

Should likely work on other devices.

You have native HID support in Cyanogen 6.0 and above.

You can use BlueKeyboard (search market) on other versions. I still use BlueKeyboard with Cyanogen 6 since it reconnects the keyboard faster (or so it seems to me).

Attached is a key layout file I made which you may find useful (instructions inside) - you can easily add your own customizations (pretty well documented). It's tweaked for lanscape mode (arrows working accordingly) - couldn't yet find a way to auto adjust to screen orientation. You can easily change it to work in portrait (again - follow comments in the attached qwerty.kl file).

Consider removing comments if you want to keep the file more compact (no big deal).

Enjoy

Droid X 2.2 with HID Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000 works

Now that they have updated my Droid X to Froyo 2.2 my Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000 seems to work great. I haven't noticed any problems and it now reconnects after being turned off and on without re-pairing as previously.

this still doesn't work with a apple bluetooth kb, or at least not mine. oh well. :)
[Nexus One Accessories] SilentMobius:
Just to repeat what I've posted in other threads (Given that I started this thread):

Just for those who are interested in BT keyboards but don't follow CM's bugtracker. CM6-RC2 fixes the problem with apple bluetooth keyboards. I now find myself popping it out and using my N1 to edit documents on the train (that I sync using dropbox)

It is _awsome_
[Nexus One Accessories] stealthopts17:
Here's what I did to pair my Apple keyboard:

1. Go to "Settings"

2. Select "Wireless and network settings"

3. Select “Bluetooth settings”

4. Enable Bluetooth on your phone and power on your keyboard.

5. Scan for devices and select "Apple Wireless Keyboard"

6. When the "Bluetooth pairing request" window pops up, type “1234″ using your phone. Select OK.

7. Type "1234", then press "return/enter" on your Apple keyboard.

8. Your phone should say "Connected to hid device."
[Nexus One Accessories] mynameisjon:
Anyone knows if this keyboard will work?

Also, I have CM6.0 on my Nexus One. If it has native support do I still need to dl a driver for it (e.g bluekeyboard)

Thanks, how do we use this file? Ihave a Dell Axim Keyboard which is basically a rebranded Bluetooth Stowaway keyboard, have it paired and recognising the alpha keys but is there a way I can reconfigure the other keys to work with the nexus?
[HTC Excalibur] xdapowerapps:
Hiya,

Before I get flamed for this I want to make it clear I've tested every custom-brewed rom on xda-dev and have created (and failed) my own rom.

My sole purpose is to have a rom that is all performance based with little to no eye-candy.

Kavana, lovebaby, etc really didn't work for me. I've been using the latest EnergyROM and I like it so far (except for random crashes after sending text messages).

Because of my ignorance, I want to know if there is a rom out there specialized solely for performance that may not be on xda-dev.

Thanks :)
[HTC Excalibur] Auzern:
There isn't any in my opinion cause I have tried all the roms and they always seem to get unstable after continous usage or after a few weeks.

But the original HTC Rom worked great but didn't look so good...
[HTC Excalibur] dewey1973:
I'm surprised you say Kavana's ROM didn't work for you. I have tried ROM after ROM and I keep going back to Kavana's. For me, It seems to be the best balance of speed (after you bump it up a bit with OMAPClock,) stability, battery life, and flexibility.
[HTC Excalibur] orb3000:
Using kavanna ricky remade and all is working great!

I have not made a soft reset in more than 2 months!

But always a new ROM is something attractive:)
[HTC Excalibur] Mr. Clown:
+2 on this one, I've used kavana's rom for over a year with no issues at all...I moved to a cooked 6.5 rom (3vo) 6 months ago..so there are very good roms out there.
[HTC Excalibur] Auzern:
I too am using Kavana's remade ROM at the moment. Its the best I have used so far.
[HTC Excalibur] xdapowerapps:
Well indeed I've used Kavanas (and actually have re-installed it on my phone about a week ago to give it another go) but I've noticed most of these ROMs fall in line not far from each other.

I'm actually using a 2200mAh extended battery and the battery isn't consumed as much on Kavana's and EnergyROM. I am certain a ROM can created that can far exceed our current ones.

I have down-clocked my CPU but I don't think that should be an option. Thanks to all the guys who have actually put in the time to creating ROMs for the community and I mean do disrespect to you or the work that you have produced. Hey, we're humans and greedy for more :)
[HD2 General] BlueLux:
Hi, I was wondering if anybody knows how I can change from clockwise to counterclockwise rotation with auto-rotation? My Norwegian HD2 with official ROMs can only auto-rotate if I turn my device counterclockwise (hardware buttons on the right), and it won't react at all if I turn it clockwise (buttons to the left). Is there a simple registry mod for this? Thanks in advance.
[HD2 General] xLAMBIEx:
I dont have an answer for you but have something that will help.

I just finished getting my Telus HTC Touch Vogue installed with Andriod.

Does anyone know if the Telus data tethering charges still apply to Andriod tethering methods?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
Ok, nice and calm, are you sure you can't get into bootloader mode?

Power off, sim and sd card out (just to be sure)

hold volume down, tap power, continue to hold volume down.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] barneyevo:
I can get into the bootloader just fine.

It will display the error message and I can't do anything.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
OK, so if you can get to the 3 coloured screen, you can just flash HSPL (if it isn't still installed) and flash a new rom.

Boot to bootloader(3 coloured screen), connect to computer, run HSPL.exe
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] barneyevo:
My computer refuses to connect to the phone.

I'll plug in my USB cable, windows will make the connection sound but the phone won't load into Windows Explorer.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
What does it say by the spl? 1.42.0000? or 1.42.HSPL?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
Actually it doesnt matter, when you hear the connection sound, thats enough, Run HSPL.exe, and if its not already installed, it should install, if it is already installed it will say 'hspl requires 1.42.000' or something.

Either way, you can then go ahead and flash a new rom.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] barneyevo:
No, it doesn't work.

When I run HSPL.exe, it says it can't find my phone.

I already have HSPL installed with a custom ROM.

The phone is stuffed whereby I couldn't get past the HTC logo screen - it just freezes there.

I tried uninstalling HSPL thinking this would solve my problem with no luck.

The phone boots into the bootloader with an error message that I can't seem to get around.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
Ah ok, so you get the error message on the 3 coloured screen? If that is the case, then spl itself is corrupt.

I thought you got the error message when the phone tried to boot, my mistake.

Next to try then is to find the original rom that came on your phone, and flash it from sd card, and hopefully it will overwrite the spl. It must be the correct rom for your provider and region, though.

If that doesn't work, then i'm afraid all I can do is wish you best of luck.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] barneyevo:
I think this is where I went wrong.

I tried uninstalling HSPL with a ROM that wasn't from my region which is why I'm getting these errors.

Surely there's a way around this?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
If you can find your original rom, there is a good chance you will be fine, OR you can probably try the goldcard route, however i'm not 100% so i wouldnt go handing over cash (goldcard isn't free) until you are sure.

Do you know what rom you are looking for?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] barneyevo:
I'm sure my phone's original rom was the WWE Asian version from Hong Kong.

I've uploaded the ROM onto my SD card but I can't get the bootloader to load it.

As stated before, I used another ROM at first and then it crashed on me.

Everytime I start the bootloader, it won't let me load the Asian ROM from scratch.

It just displays the error with no way around it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
Hmm, ok, just a couple of last thoughts then i gotta go to bed.

1 - sd card formatted fat32

2 - some people have better luck with 2gb cards than with bigger ones.

3 - Was the phone bought direct unlocked from HTC or is there a chance its provider locked? (i.e are you REALLY SURE you have the right rom)

4 - RUU_Signed.nbh coppied to sd card and renamed leoimg.nbh

Gotta go, best of luck.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ankush1492:
ok. u are getting error in bootloader? what exacly is the error message you are getting..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] DownloadMaster:
Hard Reset

I had a similar problem to this and a hard reset solved the problem. Did you try a hard reset? I think its press volume up and volume down and power simultaneously.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] barneyevo:
Even that won't work!

Confirmed hard reset but pressing "Volume Up", then the screen blacks out immediately and nothing happens.

When I press the "power on" button, all I see is an exclamation mark for a second then a black screen.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gregwee:
I think the solution is for you to try flashing to HSPL again.

1. Boot to bootloader mode by pressing Vol down key and click the Power button. You should get the tri colour screen, and the word "Serial" on the bottom.

2. Plug in the USB cable to your PC. The word "Serial" should then change to "USB".

3. Run hspl.exe as administrator.

I did the same as you previously when I tried to load the SEA 1.66 ROM on my Hong Kong English phone, and recovered it by using the above steps. I had to run HSPL 3 times before it worked. The first 2 times, it would seem to work as I'd get the "We Hacked it!" message, but when I rebooted the phone to the bootloader, it still wasn't HSPL. Only on the 3rd try, did it successfully load HSPL to the bootloader.

-edit-

You can download the original Hong Kong CSL ROM from a link in this thread.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] chris_ah1:
got to say, if in doubt - goldcard it!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] htc12345:
what is your spl version now? 1.42.0000 or 1.42.hspl '?

only bootloader is never a problem with hspl installed.

only bootloader is no problem with original spl version as long as you have a compatible stock rom.

\I wonder whether the phone would connect to computer properly.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] barneyevo:
After plenty of reading around, I've finally fixed the issue!

It was the easiest of all fixes - all I had to do was to download the original factory ROM the phone came with (.exe file) and run the executable with the phone plugged in via USB.

Thanks to all those who have tried to help.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gregwee:
Glad you brought it back to life. Was it the CSL ROM that you loaded?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] barneyevo:
Not sure what you mean by CSL but it's an official HTC ROM specific to where I bought my phone (Hong Kong, WWE ROM).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gregwee:
Do you have a link to the ROM you used? My phone is also Hong Kong WWE, so I'd like to get the ROM just in case I need to flash it back to stock.

Hi,

I asked this before, but only got a program to change the program icons in the windows start menu...it didnt carry over to the program icons in manila (im using Valkyrie_v5.7 24001)

I would prefer to have all icons in a similar fashion...some are low res and some dont fill the rounded square well.

Hope this made sense

Thanks :)
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] harveydent:
Use the program, then once you've changed the icons, delete all the contents in Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher then soft-reset.

By the way, I recommend nullstring's Icon Changer. He's an X1 user as well, so you're sure it'll work on your phone.

Would anyone trade a Touch HD for a Tilt 2?

I'm not looking for a trade, just wondering.

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] stylez:
Moved to Q&A as not marketplace since no trade or sale.
[General Questions and Answers] S2000Peter:
Oh, ok. Yeah I couldn't figure out which one of the 2 to put it in.

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] poetryrocksalot:
If someone offered a Tilt2 for a Touch HD it would be his or her dream come true.

There is nothing on the Touch HD that is better than the Tilt2...

The only thing that the Touch HD has compared to the Tilt2 is the damn 3.5 mm headphone jack. Are you serious about the trade? Cause your question doesn't make sense.

So of course someone would trade (give) his Touch HD for a Tilt2.

Is your sentence wrong? Because if it is then this would seem to be a more plausible question: Would anyone trade his Tilt2 for my Touch HD?

The answer would be hell no. Unless the Tilt2 was heavily used, full of scratches and has hardware/software issues, no one will want to exchange it for a Touch HD.
[General Questions and Answers] S2000Peter:
Well I know only diff is that the Tilt gets Att 3G, the button QWERTY, and doesn't have a 3.5mm.

I really like listening to music and I use my phone as an Mp3 player because I dont want to carry a phone and a Zune.

I want the 3.5mm headset jack and don't mind the lack of a keyboard. I was just wondering If I did get the Tilt2 if It would be crazy to try to trade it for a Touch HD.

Thing is I'd have to get a dataplan to get the Tilt 2 to trade for the HD and then I'd have a touch HD that can't use the dataplan I'd now have.

I already have the Incite which has WinMo 6.5 and a 3.5mm, So I guess I'd still use the dataplan when I have my sim in the Incite.

So The question is do I want to stick with the Incite and it's Wifi

or

Do I get a dataplan and a tilt 2 that I trade for a Touch HD and only use the dataplan when the Sim is in the Incite.

Or I do as above but give the dataplan to my brother's phone and Just have a Incite and a Touch HD both with just Wifi.

Too bad I cant get the HD2... XD Because while it's hard to decide how badly I want the Touch HD over the Incite, the only real difference is that the Touch HD has a bigger screen.

If I had the choice to get the HD2 over the Incite it'd be a no brainer. The HD has the Snapdragon, more RAM, more internal ROM, a bigger screen that is capacitive. I dont even mind it doesn't get at&t 3G.
[General Questions and Answers] poetryrocksalot:
If you don't flash your phone then you are stuck with a phone with older software. Also, the finger friendly Windows Mobile 6.5.3 is probably not officially supported by HTC on your HTC Touch HD, so you probably will need to flash it on your own.

And trading a Tilt2 for that would be freaking crazy.

I'd like you to know that the HTC Touch Pro2 has the one of the best keyboard around, I mean it's better than any blackberry, better than my Nokia E90, better than any android phone so far, and better than a touch screen keyboard, of course better than Palm, etc!!!!!!!!

If anything, trade it for a Nokia N900. Though, not windows mobile, it's processor is faster than the HTC Touch HD, meaning less likely to have skippy music or delay during music playback. Furtheremore, the N900 speaker is just as good as the N95, and most people who know about phones can verify that the N95 speakers are not only very loud, but very high sound quality, and you get two speakers like on a laptop. And it has a 3.5 mm headphone jack.

The Tilt2 also has tilting screen, so you can watch videos while working on a table, which is kinda geeky but whatever.

Tilt2 also requires a data plan if you get it on ATT. So why would you pay for data plan just to use a phone that doesn't support the data plan. Isn't that stupid? And if you are going to buy a Tilt2 on eBay or something, just buy a Touch HD so you don't go through with the trade.
[General Questions and Answers] poetryrocksalot:
The HTC Touch HD does not have a snapdragon, has less RAM, and less ROM, and it is resistive.

The HTC Touch HD2 has a snapdragon, more RAM, and more ROM, and it is capacitive.

Thanks for confusing me. Next time, pay attention to the series number, and report the right number, or you will get different answers.

For the Touch HD2 yeah the swap seems plausible, if you do it now, you might get a swap, but I suggest keeping your Tilt2 unopened and 100% brand new. Do not peel any stickers or anything. If you have to get your hands on it use latex gloves, but do not peel the sticker on screen.

Next, you have to swap it with someone with a used HD2 who really abhors his HD2. But soon, the HD2 for T-Mobile will come out, and it will be impossible for you to find someone to swap an HD2 because it has become more valuable for the Americans, and they wouldn't want to swap you. Why? Well because the ones with the European Touch HD2 are going to get the American version for T-Mobile. So right now there will be people more willing to trade it for a brand new Tilt2.

Or, if you are smart, just go month to month with ATT until the T-Mobile HD2 comes out. I heard that month to month on ATT doesn't charge you more, it just means you can cancel anytime or renew a contract for a brand new phone.

But when the T-Mobile HD2 comes out, transfer your phone number to T-Mobile and sign a contract with T-Mobile for an HD2 with a data plan that you actually use.

BTW...I think that swapping it will be very hard, and what you are doing is crazy, and I knew it when you said that you "weren't looking for a trade" you were actually looking for a trade, cause obviously if someone wanted to trade you would trade.
[General Questions and Answers] S2000Peter:
I know about flashing phones, my Incite it running Dark Wolf's newest 6.5 Rom

I like the Tilt 2 also but the 3.5mm is like critical to me.

I dont want to get a phone that isn't Winmo.

Sorry about that, it was a typo, the HD you bolded I meant to type HD2.

The point of this thread was just to find out if I got the Tilt 2 if I could trade it for a Touch HD because I really want that 3.5mm. But you're probably right because the Touch HD cant use the dataplan I should probably just keep my Incite, But If I could trade a Tilt 2 for an HD2 then I'd probably get the Tilt 2 and do what I said about just using the dataplan I'd now have on the Incite every once in a while or put it on my brother's phone since I bet he'd like that.
