Possible Work around

I wish I could test this right now, but my Tab is back at Samsung being repaired. I have a generic mini Bluetooth keyboard that wasn't working with my Tab or my Captivate. I just got it to work with the Captivate.

I downloaded the drivers for the Freedom Bluetooth Pro keyboard from their site directly through the browser on my device. After installation I had to activate the driver through the "Locale and Text" option in settings. Once activated, paired the keyboard and changed the keyboard to Freedom Pro. Keyboard worked...

I don't know if this will work on the Tab, but i can't wait to get mine back and test it. If anyone gives it a try, let us know how it worked.
[Galaxy Tab General] hyann:
nope, did not work with generic bt keyboard. Other posts are saying that verizon does not support HID but does support SPP mode and that will work with the freedom pro keyboard which also uses SPP mode. I hope that's true...
[Galaxy Tab General] Boushh:
Check my voodoo kernel, I built in full HID support but I don't have any BT mice/keyboards to test it on. If one of you can confirm/deny it for me, it would be helpful.
[Galaxy Tab General] ManticoreX:
I'll check it out tonight with your kernel and then with your ROM. I believe that the issue lies in the Settings and Framework applications, not in the kernel itself. I am, unfortunately, not familiar enough with Android to have figured it out yet, but if you wouldn't mind talking with me, we might be able to solve it.
[Galaxy Tab General] Boushh:
Well, I have every intention of figuring this out, because I want full HID support too. I should try and find some BT kbs/mice to test with.

I'm always down for a chat, you can find me in IRC a lot of the time. irc.droid-life.com #ModADroid-Galaxy-Tablet
[Galaxy Tab General] Gaigebacca:
I would be willing to give some cash too in order to get the HID working with my Sprint Tab...
[Galaxy Tab General] alphaxdx:
HID BT Sprint Galaxy Tab

I will definitely donate for a solution to this as well. I use the Sprint tab.
[Galaxy Tab General] Boushh:
Just to let you know guys, I've picked this back up today now that I've sorted out recovery. It looks like I've found what I need to compile in for support, but I will need someone to test with apple products to make sure. Any takers? You will need to have my voodoo kernel installed already so you can flash the zip I provide.
[Galaxy Tab General] matthewflinchbaugh:
I can test on non apple hardware. Should be the same as for apple keyboard.
[Galaxy Tab General] markgamber:
I have an Apple keyboard and mouse and your latest voodoo installed and running.
[Galaxy Tab General] Boushh:
anyone want to give THIS a test with the apple hardware? I've tested the kernel and know it boots and is stable, just not if it works with full HID. It's clocked at 1GHz, but if it works, I'll roll the updates into my 1.4GHz kernel too.
[Galaxy Tab General] matthewflinchbaugh:
Boussh, this is a no go for my logitech mx5000 currently the keyboard pairs with tab, but no by keyboard input apps want to connect which is what happened prior to the above mentioned kernel.
[Galaxy Tab General] Boushh:
Can someone with an apple bt keyboard please test this, apple is a different module than logitech....
[Galaxy Tab General] jschmid698:
Update

So i now have CWM Voodoo Lagix Recovery v2.5.1 on my VZW Tab is the HID bluetooth Drivers included in that release?

Iv been trying to get my Wii controller to connect to my tab, but it is doesnt seem to connect.

Any Ideas?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab General] Boushh:
Apple != Nintendo.
[Galaxy Tab General] jschmid698:
Every time i use the app to connect it says connecting and than nothing it just disappears, i do not get the confirmation for connecting.

I was reading that the app will not run with sense or Samsung because of the HID drivers not being available.

So is there other drivers that would need to be added, for the wii controller ime app to recognize the controller?
[Galaxy Tab General] Boushh:
Well, the apple specific module isn't going to help the wiimote that's for certain. As for anything past that, I haven't looked at if/how or why it's not working. There are tons of apps on the market for getting the wiimote to work though it seems. So I'm not sure if it's in need of specific kernel level support or not. I'm more concerned about the apple keyboard at this point.
[Galaxy Tab General] jschmid698:
Ok, I just tried a few other apps and one of them give me details of whats going on during the connection process. Getting an error saying no bluetooth found, is your bluetooth turned on?

My bluetooth is most definatly turned on. So im not sure if my tab is blocking the bluetooth connection for that app, or if its just not supported?

Either way if you find any time or could explain to me something i could try, i am more than willing to try to get this working. If not good luck with the apple support.

Thanks for the quick responses!
[Galaxy Tab General] captain134:
Also going through the same thing.
[Galaxy Tab General] jeffnucci:
What can I do to help keep this thing moving along? I have a VZW Tab and can't justify the $80 for the keyboard dock. I'd contribute beer money if we can get keyboards working :)
[Galaxy Tab General] TheGrammarFreak:
You could test Boush's kernel and feedback. I'm not aware that that's been done yet, although I fully expect to be wrong
[Galaxy Tab General] Boushh:
He's right, test it. But I also need to know what device you're testing it with because many devices require different kernel modules to be built in. I already have some keyboards working but most of the people reporting back that it's not working aren't actually telling me what device they can't get it working with. If I don't know what you're not going to give me all of the information I need to help you (the greater, not pointing fingers at anyone) get HID working on your device because you're too lazy/busy/whatever to learn how to do it yourself (which is fine, again, not pointing fingers, just stating a fact).

Remember, I have no bluetooth devices, no headset, keyboard, mouse, car, nothing. The sole reason I am doing this is to help you guys get your devices set up as optimally as possible for you because I love the Galaxy Tab and I think other should love theirs as much as I love mine. So, back to that cheese phrase of help me help you...

Also, I can see you're still hurt that I called you out for being an annoying little troll TheGrammarFreak. That's hilarious.
[Galaxy Tab General] Blinkergffg:
The keyboard I purchased is a generic blue tooth keyboard not an apple. If this will still work let me know and I will try it. Also let me know where to find your kernel so I can install it as well.
[Galaxy Tab General] Boushh:
I have no clue if it will work or not, you will have to try it yourself to find out. I own 0 bluetooth devices, as I already said.
[Galaxy Tab General] Blinkergffg:
Boushh, Where do I find your Kernel. I have the Verizon G Tab.
[Galaxy Tab General] TheGrammarFreak:
Here

It was a few pages back
[Galaxy Tab General] emieczko:
Has anyone been able to confirm or deny functionality of the Apple BT keyboard with the KhasMek Voodoo Plus v3 kernel?

There was some discussion of it in the kernel thread, but alas as a noob, I'm not capable of posting there.

I'm running both the kernel and the ROM. I'd be willing to buy and try the Apple keyboard, but if we've been there and done that I'll save myself the cash and effort...
[Galaxy Tab General] mmbika:
Apple BT Keyboard works without doing anything on GT-P1000.
[Galaxy Tab General] emieczko:
The genesis of this thread is a lack of HID support in Verizon's incarnation of the Tab, and several posts explicitly mention the inability to pair with an Apple BT keyboard.

Are you saying this thread and those posts got it wrong?
[Galaxy Tab General] emieczko:
One quick trip to my local BB later, and I'm now the proud owner of an Apple BT keyboard.

I can officially say: It doesn't work with my Verizon Tab.

It pairs properly, but that's where the love story ends. I am not able to use it to enter text on the device.

Add'l Info:

Model number: SCH-I800

Firmware version: 2.2

Baseband version: S:I800.0.3V.DJ11

Kernel version: 2.6.32.9, boushh@PortaHobbix #1

Build number: KhasMek DJ11 K-leanMod v3​

If there's any other info that would help drive the debug process, let me know.
[Galaxy Tab General] TempestDash:
I can also confirm that Apple BT Keyboard does not work on VZW Galaxy Tab when using Boushh's Kernel (v3) and ROM (v3).

Tried downloading the handful of BT Keyboard apps on the market that are supposed to enable support for HID devices as well, but none of them are working either.

Paired but not Connected seems to be the mantra for this scenario.
[Galaxy Tab General] Maria_M:
I'm also in the same FAIL arena. Using the kernnel, I couldn't get my older Apple BT kb to work with my Verizon GT.
[Galaxy Tab General] robinsmy1:
Verizon is pushing out an update and it fixes the HID issue
[Galaxy Tab General] matthewflinchbaugh:
Can anyone confirm this, as my logitech mx5000 still does not work with any of the bt keyboard apps it connects and pairs then immediately disconnects. I don't know if mine is not compatible or if hid support is just bogus
[Galaxy Tab General] markgamber:
I saw no difference after the update. My Apple keyboard didn't work before I applied the update, the update was definitely applied without incident and the Apple keyboard still doesn't work.
[Galaxy Tab General] webrover83:
Seriously? Can you personally confirm? I'm not doubting you, I'd just love to be sure before reverting to stock. ;)
[Galaxy Tab General] robinsmy1:
I made a quick video to show it working, hope this posts ok

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EoGZaA9Mbg

By the way, you might have to activate the HID. Once you get the keyboard paired, long press on it in bluetooth settings and you should be an options choice. Under it, select the HID device. That should do it.
[Galaxy Tab General] emieczko:
I'm officially jealous.

No amount of long pressing gets my Apple keyboard to work. I may have to find a way to test out some others. I'm looking for something closer to a full size layout, though.
[Galaxy Tab General] robinsmy1:
Do you not get options on the pop up menu?

What is your software version....should end with DL21 if the update worked
[Galaxy Tab General] emieczko:
Im running boushh's v5 kernel and v4 ROM. I'm hoping he's able to incorporate the HID support into his kernal. I don't think I can stomach stock after a month on Voodoo, lol

Fwiw, I do get options to "connect" and to "un-pair", but selecting connect doesn't yield a functional setup... I dug around a bit in dmesg, but don't see anything useful there either.
[Galaxy Tab General] robinsmy1:
Actually, options is a menu item once it is properly enabled.

The long press menu will have connect, pair and options. Selecting options will give you the hid check you would need to select to make it work.
[Galaxy Tab General] emieczko:
It's sure as hell worth a shot. My keyboard is at the office, so I'll give it a go again in the morning. Thanks for the tip!
[Galaxy Tab General] emieczko:

Long clicking on my BT keyboard get's me "connect" and "unpair" as choices, but not an "options" selection.

Hopefully once the OTA changes are wrapped up in boushh's work, this'll self correct... :)
[Galaxy Tab General] robinsmy1:
You are not updated......the DJ11 needs to be DL21...the update is not applied that is why it is not working
[Galaxy Tab General] MasterRy88:
WOOOO you honestly have no idea how happy this makes me. Im getting the update right how and cant wait to try it when I get home. And to think I was about to drop 80 bucks on the sammy keyboard.....
[Galaxy Tab General] emieczko:
Right. Understood. But I can't apply the update over the top of my current ROM/kernal without soft bricking my tab, so I'm waiting patiently for DL21 to be incorporated into Voodoo/K-lean
[Galaxy Tab General] webrover83:
+1 waiting for K-lean to get DL21. Way too much time & effort getting things happy w/o Samsung to go crawling back to stock now.
[Galaxy Tab General] emieczko:
Using a co-worker's TAB, running stock kernal/ROM...

With the OTA, the Apple bluetooth keyboard does indeed work. lol

I'm jealous as hell, but still can't bring myself to revert to stock for it. Hopefully the wait ain't too long. :)
[Galaxy Tab General] ddempsey:
The recent Verizon update (EC02) seems to have fixed the Bluetooth HID issue. I am now able to use a bluetooth keyboard (Logitech Mediapro) with my Galaxy Tab. And as an added bonus, they also fixed the VPN issue. Thank you Verizon!
[Galaxy Tab General] webrover83:
Filed this under "Uncommon Phrases" :p
[Galaxy Tab General] MasterRy88:
LOL +1

I am also thanking them. But is it really thanking them for giving us something we should have had from the begining?
[Galaxy Tab General] webrover83:
For those who care.. .

I can verify that applying the EC02 firmware allows me to easily connect and use my MS BT 6000 KB and MS BT 5000 mouse. :)

I went and yelled at a Verizon guy for borking this up in the first place.

Once I re-install Klean Rom, I think my life will be better. :D
[Galaxy Tab General] EatKeyLimePie:
sprint???

I realize all you lucky verizon users got a fix for this with EC02, but us sprint users wish we had a solution. Has anyone out there seen anything that will resolve this on sprint?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] stanglx:

Dont have it... Did the full maket fix and see TV.COM, Dophin HD, etc. etc... No firefox..

Tell me your secrets... how do I get it!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] The Old One:
Don't know what I did to see firefox I'm trying to figure it out myself. I started getting errors with the rom I was using (TnT enhanced) so flashed CyanogenMod now I can't get firefox to show.

Edit: I'm starting to thank it's somthing in the TnT enhanced rom.

Doing the market fix several times can get you close to a full market, but in my experience something is always missing. Still can't get rocket bunnies and some kittehface wallpapers to show up.

I haven't done much testing yet, but I was thinking my battery seems to be lasting very good.... at least in standby. 8-10 hours since I took it off charger and it looks like the battery meter only went down about 20%... so there's still 75-80% left! But like I said, I haven't done that much with it today except play around a few times for 5-10 minutes at a time.

if i used android,,usually 30% would left after 10 hours' usage
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] kb0n:
Have you checked it without SD card? (to see if it's SD card related)

I have pretty good battery drain, too. Radio 2.15, some crappy 512MB SD-card, data and wifi on, mail/facebook/twitter/google sinc on (every 30mins).

Running for ~ 13h, including WP7 installation, testing, all the setups, etc.

Battery went from ~70% (was not fully charged) down to ~20-30%.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] edangel:
okay guys..seriously a stupid question...how do you check the battery drain with percentage??wp7 has no battery percentage..or is there somewhere i cant see it???i am using wp7 with 8gb class 6 and is fine with radio 2.15!i have it for 10 hours and my battery went down to the half from fully charged..!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] kb0n:
you don't (and currently can't, not supported by WP7 API yet afaik) =) you can either estimate by the width of the battery bar, or wait until battery is at 0%.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] darrengladysz:
Can it be that the battery indicator is not reading correctly or that the calibration is incorrect. I had a full battery and one hour later it flashed a low battery message. I booted into Android on the sd and the battery showed 78%.

So I have a question. I'm in the process of researching hardware in cellphones and I am curious. Who creates the Drivers for the different components in a phone? Is it the component manufacturer or the phone manufacturer?

Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hernan078:
I had Phoenix rom, decided to go to darkys because it looked better to me. I flashed Darkys, and it looked good and everything, but i entered Quadrant Standard and im getting score of lees than 720, when with phoenix i got 1000 or more, the graphic says that i have less score than a Galaxy S, what went wrong, is this ok, should i not bother myself with this or what?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickysa2000:
Make sure you flash a good kernel.. SpeedMod K12M or Firebird2..

And check quadrant scores.. Quadrant scores don't mean anything.. DG officially hates it!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
I have not tried darkeys but, I would reboot try again. No 2.2.1 rom should be that low.

Quadrants do not really mean anything though
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roof King:
While quadrant is not a completely accurate test it can be a useful test to see how the phone performs. A score of 720 probably indicates that something did not take. It's been a while since I have been on Darky's rom but with Cezar's rom and no lagfix I get 1100 quadrant scores which is pretty normal for a 2.2.1 rom without lagfix. Enabling lagfix could bump that to 1300 to 1500 range.

I have gotten 1700 to 1900 scores with overclocking and lagfix before but here's the problem with basing everything off your test score. On 2.2.1 with no lagfix I can't tell a difference in how the phone operates compared to overclocked kernels with lagfix. I can play the same games and watch the same videos and really can't tell a difference. Darky's is a 2.2.1 rom so you should be seeing pretty much the same performance.

Are you noticing any lag? Run the test again to see if the score bumps up?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hernan078:
this will sound stupid, he but i found the problem, with set cpu, i dont know why, but the processor was clocked at 400 mhz, FML!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phalanger:
Hehe nice :)

As far as Quadrant is concerned, yes in normal cases the quadrant score is pretty meaningless but Im surprised people say that even in this thread. Its meaningless to wonder about getting 1500 instead of 1600, but with scores of 700 clearly something is wrong, and thats exactly what Quadrant *is* useful for, diagnosing performance issues!

Good to see you found the problem already
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluebullet2121:
Quadrant doesn't tell the whole story, but I'm running darkys 7.8 and I've got a Quadrant score of 1480+. I was a Cognition junkie until I flashed darkys - I couldn't be more pleased.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phalanger:
All the 2.2.1-based ROMs are pretty much equally fast.. mostly cause theyre all very close to being stock, the only performance-change is from using a recompiled kernel.

Voodoo seems to be a bit faster than speedmod. 1620 here on DocROM with advanced voodoo, no overclock.
