I have just upgraded to the xda 2 (Qtek 2020 actually) and have found that my foldable keyboard no longer works. Is there anything I can do to rectify this (updated drivers etc). The keyboard is designed by Darfon Electronics Corp and the keyboard name is G7B0.
It happens exactly the same to me! Darfon GB70, worked great with XDA, no way to have it working on Qtek 2020.
XDA Developers Team, please help. Thanks.

XDA 2 keybaord
I bought an IR one in EOL bin at dixons, was 99p. it works with XDA2, palm515, Ipaq, and a Koosa.
It does sorta work.
It should work if you uncheck "Receive all incoming beams".
If not, you may require an updated Darfon keyboard driver.
Search the forums for a similar thread where I have identified at least one version which works.
I have unchecked "Receive all incoming beaming".
I have tried also Compaq keyboard driver 3.03.
Could you identify which thread you refer to?
Thanks, byez
Here is the link for the G7B0 keyboard driver update, by the way I think this is the best engineered folding/sliding keyboard I have ever used.

I fully agree what the keyboard is concerned. Unfortunately the "update" file 7B0Setup_US_V200.exe does not solve my problem. My Darfon G7Bo worked fine wit XDA but does not with XDA IIi (I have incoming beams disabled).
Has anyone this keyboard actually working on a XDA IIi?
Thanks
G7B0 Keyboard Driver
Hi all, i have this keyboard and i have the UK driver that works fine on my XDA2 and on WM5. See attatchment or if anyone want a copy just send me a email.
Uk driver
Thanks a lot for uploading the UK driver.
unfortunately I get the same message after install as I did witht he US driver and subsequently the keyboard still does not work:
"The program you have installed may not display properly because it was designed for a previous version of Windows Mobile software."
Any ideas?
Cheers
Darfon G7B0
Does anybody know if there is also a German Driver availaible for the Darfon Keyboard G7B0?
Therer is listed one on the Darfon list, but the Darfon Website seems to be dead ...
Thank you!

You have to disable the infrared. when you do that it will function properly, dispite the note you received. Try it.
Driver worked for me
Hello,

I installed the driver and connected the keyboard.
Worked straight away! I am a happy chappy..

Thank you sooooo much! I was searching for these drivers since one year!!!! I am so Happy-Happy!
Has anyone installed tomtom 6 on tornado with wm6 installed?
I can not get het it to work, tried the "TomTom 6.020 for Windows Mobile Smartphone"
Furthermore i need the T9 cab for swedish also if anyone can provide a link.
Thanx
tomtom 6 run on my tornado , it only need to set on "never" display time out becouse tomtom dont do it ...
Tomtom 6.000 and 6.010 are running fine without going back to the homescreen. Version 6.020 and 6.030 also work fine, but they return to the homescreen after a while. Even with the display time-out on "never".
You also may have some problems installing 6.010 because it will tell you it is not intended for this device. So, install 6.000 and copy the exe file and the data.chk file from 6.010. works for me.
I also have Tomtom mobile 5.2 running because it runs better with the keyboard.

With tt5 you must put "GPS" in the name of the gps receiver when you pair it. For tt6 this is not necessary. For both tt5 and tt6 you most define a com port. (probably com6). In tt6 you must select this com port. This is tricky because you need a program to control the mouse. The most easy way is to use "Pocket Controller-Pro" to control your smartphone from your pc.
have fun

true. you should type as many characters until the city you want is at the top of your list. then press the joystick-button.

I dont get com 6 as an option. see screen dump.
you have to create the outgoing COM vhen you pairing the GPS with yor tornado, then you can found the new COM in the tomtom list
Hi there ! I try to install the ttn.cab - it says installing but nothing happens.
I read nearly all posts but TT6 and WM6 - what can be the problem ?
I tried the ttn.cab 6.01 and 6.03 but nothing can be installed on the sdcard.
What else can I do ?

hi guys,
I am using a citrix ica client as a remote desktop.ANd unfortunately its not accepting the Hardware keyboard strokes at all. Its only accepting virtual keyboard.Can any kind soul tell me how to completely disable the virtual keyboard and use only the hardware keyboard please ?
I tried changing the few roms availabe, but nothing helps.
Suggestions are welcome , as whats the point of not able to use a keyboard in Remote desktop clients ?

I've just been reading about RDP. It should work if it is install on the phone, not the card, but you can try the opposite, if its not working.

I have tried the citrix client with installed on device.
I will try and then will post the feedback.

I'd forgotten about Citrix until reading this thread. I've just installed it and have the same problem - no working hardware keyboard...
I found another program in witch the hardware keyboard doesn't work; iGO8. I Haven't been able to figure out why, thinking it was an iGO8 problem. Now reading Citrix also doesn't work maybe it isn't an iGO prblem after all.
Still searching for a solution; iGO *must* be use in 320*240 mode, and it seems silly not being able to use the hardware keyboard.
I have a good news. The hardware keyboard works in the ica client. I believe the "Enable Palette Device" in the settings did the trick for me.

Hi yaa, I tried with your setting enabled on 1.90.405.1 Uk version official rom and am still unable to make the HW keyboard work in the ica client ? Hope you can tell me your rom version ? Thank you.

Sure.
ica client version: 10.0.57037
ROM: 1.90.401.1 WWE
I played with settings again and unfortunately the previous option indeed doesn't enable the keyboard.
You have to modify the IME settings. Either in global settings or for each server (from the main screen select the remote server, press edit, edit options, set IME settings). Set it to "Disable Client IME" (default is Disable Server IME). Tested it this time
Sorry for the confusion, I enabled more options at the same time.
Just in case anyone else has been having the same problem as me, use Pocket IE to get to the /localaccess page instead of Opera.

It seems the xT9 software breaks keyboard handling somehow. After cooking a ROM without it iGO8 works fine. I'm sure there must be another way (like with Citrix) but I'm happy now.

Hi, I need some help. I have bought a bluetooth keyboard /the price was irresistible/, but the drivers on the CD are for WM5. I have tried to install them, but with no success. I did the Internet search - nothing again - no drivers for WM6. I would appreciate any help or ideas. Thanks in advance.
I would be willing to donate one of these to some one if they can get it working with a x50v
Hi, I have the Omiz rebranded one and used the drivers that came from here:
http://cid-377c591e460f76c2.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/.res/377C591E460F76C2!266
I'm currently using the keyboard on my ETEN DX900 with WM6.5 ROM.
search the keyboard using the WM bluetooth app first. use passcode: 0000
open the BTKeybd and check "reconnection". After "reconnection" is checked, proceed to tap on "Active keyboard". The keyboard should be working now.

HTC HD2 and BK600 COM ONE/OMIZ/FREEDOM bt keyboard issue
hi,
i've read this thread with attention, and tried all your solutions. I've still issues.
Installing the first driver (omiz one) it proposes me several choices (my model is not in it), but i've used to have this installer (older version) work for my old acer n50 and my pharos. I guess i've to choose a model with arm and widcomm bt.
No success, it seems that the software installed, but the applicaiton claims it's not a valid ppc one.
Well, i've tested the freedom universal keyboard (second choice) and , the driver installs perfectly; on the htc hd2 side i've paired the devica and grant connexions (the wizard report that the device is connected and the keyboard double green blink -- thats mean it's ok ) , but when i go to program files freedom utility and start it and click on connect, it claim that the device is not paired.
Well ... i think i'll push the "help me" button or buy another keyboard, but ... it seems that i'm really really close.
Any help would be apreciated.
Regards.
CLS.
hi all,
see my thread : developping bluetooth gateway for bk600
enough to wait for a ghost ;-)
Not sure whether it feasible I am thinking of buying ASUS Eee Box EB1501 N330 250G/2G RAM and would liketo use my 52 Inch bravia as a monitor and what ideally would like to do is to be able to control my asus through my Leo.
Is it feasible via bluetooth or it has to be done through remote desktop that comes with the phone?

Does the paid version work with winamp? I've used the trial version and it can't control winamp. I want to use it so i can use my phone as a remote.
Niceness
Tried to find something like this, but nothing seemed to work.
But this program is brilliant. Working and good respons between device and pc.
I can control winamp in the demo, so I dont think thats the problem.
Thumps up from me, a program there is worth paying for.
/ Jens Christian Husted
The one i installed was downloaded from 'freeware pocket pc' so maybe it was an older version. I'm gonna try the one direct from their site instead.
yeah I must second the GRemote software as being the best one to control your pc, it works flawlessly via bluetooth and is the best piece of remote software available for WM. I tried Salling Clicker before, as this also has an Apple client, but unfortunately it doesnt even come close to GRemote when considering functionality and ease of use. Definitely worth getting yes!
Truly excellent peice of software!!!
I am doing the exact same thing as you, exept I bought a Di Novo Mini from Logitech.
