Does ActiveSync_Remote_Display work with wm6?
When I try to run it i got a message saying:
"The OS or CPU of this device is unknown to this application"
I have just installed Pocket Controller from SOTI (http://www.soti.net),
and it looks good. Will try it for today and see if it fits my needs.
Update: My universal just freezed after I've switched Pocket controller to 'test mode' It also seemed to run much slower than before :/
Update2: Well again it just freezed having no reason whatsoever :/ I think I'd prefer using ASRD...
Hey, just curious... are you trying to control your PPC on your PC. Or the other way around?
I'm trying to control my XDA from PC. Otherwise i would use rdp, vnc or putty, all of them work perfectly fine for me.
As for the Pocket Controller I'm not sure if it was a good choice
Now every time I try to use my universal the screen is just white :/
It does react on keys though. Haven't looked for that kind of behaviour on forum yet, and to be honest, it's not necessarily Pocket Controller fault, as i have installed few other programs this morning.
Will update as soon as I will figure out what to do with it now
Pocket Controller
I use Pocket controller version 5.05 which i find to be Ok, you just can't type too fast sometimes.
Didn't know AS had an option to be able to control the Uni remotely.
I think I'll just drop the whole idea about using Pocket Controller.
One thing that really disqualify it is what you've already mentioned - unless you're typing with one hand (or legs) you will lose 50-70% of what you're typing.
I also had serious performance issues when running pocket controller on my uni.
But at least I managed to make Microsoft's Remote Display working.
MarkJL: you can get ASRD here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/3/7/5376bdb4-0aec-40df-bb5c-7a4eb4819b25/remotedsp.exe
ASRD
Hey thanks this does work better than Pocket Controller. And its free!
So..?
How did you get it to work with WM6?
With my HP 214, I get "Error 10048 from bind".
sorry I can't seem to be able to delete this message. The previous message is legit, though.
I just thought I would post my final setup, after a long process!
I am typing this very message, across a remote desktop connection from my Touch HD, using a Freedom Keyboard, and a MoGo x54 mouse. I have also installed Blue Input.
This combination seems to work, and it means that I can PROPERLY and functionally use my desktop computer from anywhere over GPRS.
Congratulations!
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.

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?
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.

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
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.
I have a stock Evo 3D. And it works that.
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?
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!
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
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.

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!
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.
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.
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!
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?
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?
Holding down any key causes it to repeat for me, including the delete key. This is with a Samsung Infuse.
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?
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.
I'm running Droid VNC Server 1.1RC0; it starts up fine and I can connect (RealVNC Viewer on Mountain Lion), but the keyboard doesn't work. Actually, if I have a text entry field active with the soft keyboard onscreen, I can blind-type and when I click in the text area whatever I just typed appears all at once, but there's no "live" text entry. I've searched around and it seems like some people were having input problems with older versions of the server on ICS, but 1.1RC0 is listed as ICS compatible.
It's pretty annoying - when I'm at home I generally deal with messaging thru VNC, it's much easier to just plug my phone in on the nightstand and access it via the network; any help would be awesome. TIA.
I am using my Note 10.1 in a physical therapy clinic. We connect to our electronic medical record software using an RDP connection.
My problem: When I try to enter text into a field using any keyboard with a swype like function, the text repeats itself. When I try to enter my name, for example, it appears as DDenDenDenDenveDenver. WTF?
Does anyone know of an RDP program that works WITH android keyboards that support optimizations like swype or swiftkey's prediction?
I have pocketcloud but can't install (yet) the desktop application to connect to the server. IT says no, no. For now. . .
Thoughts? Ideas??
Try jump desktop, Swype works fine with it. The free version allows you to connect to one pc.
If you have a note, you will need to apply a setting that disables optimised drawing for the app to work properly or you may have display issues.
Works really well for me, I connect to my home pc when connected to Wi-Fi On my tablet.
