I have searched the forums but I can't seem to find any solid information. I have read that out of the box the hero doesn't support SPP profiles for bluetooth, meaning that I can't connect wireless keyboards to it. However this is the main thing I want in the phone. Is there a rom I can flash that supports this? Can I keep HTC's sense ui?
Would the samsung moment be a better choice than the hero, in terms of bluetooth connectivity with a keyboard (such as g-tech 5250 fabric keyboard)?
Thanks
bump, I'm gonna go get the phone today so if anyone can help me out it'd be great.
No idea... I'm not too much of a bluetooth user myself. I'm sure there's some sort of hack you do or, if not that, donate to a dev on the community and request the feature.

I see, I have no problem donating for someone to add the profiles. Also can anyone confirm if in one of the 2.0/2.1 roms there is SPP support?

Hello there!
I was seriously thinking about buying myself one of those Bluetooth stereo headsets. Unfortunately they need the A2DP Profile which isn't included in our present MS BT stack.
I have read a lot in this forum about transferring the Broadcomm/Widcomm stack - a guy even offered 200$ on success. Yet so far no success.
Now I was wondering if it would not be easier to add that profile to the existing stack somehow? By "somehow" I mean that I am not a programmer and havbe no clue how to do so on my own.
Any suggestions or help?
Cheers, <))><
Hey Guys!
At least a simple "No" or some reply would be nice. I can't imagine that I am the only one who looks for something like that
Well I just tried to find a thread for you over at Howard Forums but was not successful. Go over there there is a poster named "whtrbt7" he seems to know a bit on this subject.
Basically I believe the short answer is no.
I think we are a year or so away from getting true full stereo audio via A2DP Profile.
I'm no expert on this subject, but I believe there needs to be more consistance and control within the BT industry as a whole.
i just posted this link in another thread but maybe its useful to you:

Maybe soon we we are able to get a2dp working on the magicians
Cheers,

Cheers for the answer! I hope so too. Just installed the newest Widcomm Soft on my PC in order to give it "More Power" (Tim Allen from Home Improvement). Now I can't wait to make A2DP work somehow on our Magicians. It would be like Star Trek :wink:
Hello,
Is there a way to turn these mobile devices into a bluetooth keyboard/mouse?
I am aware of the gremote porject at http://gbmsoftware.com/ but am looking for a more generic way to turn the mobile device into a remote keyboard and mouse.
A generic solution would be ideal because it could be used with any system (not just PCs) including PS3s, PCs, Macs, Linux, etc.
If something like this doesn't exist, what would be involved in creating it? Would one have to write a bluetooth driver?
I am a developer but have never written a driver or written anything related to bluetooth. If someone can point me in the right direction I may be able to write this thing myself.
Ever any luck with this?
My Frenemy has found an app that does this with WIFI - but your point about universality strikes me as important. Not having to install a server app allows this to work on any platform. I wonder why no answers or other posts.
The EVO 4G would make a SICK remote bluetooth keyboard and mouse...
Thanks...

Turn mobile device into bluetooth keyboard and mous
No,
Nobody really got back to me and I've since moved on to WebOS. I still think it would be great little tool!

Wondering the same thing
Hi i have been looking everywhere. I am also wondering the same thing (mainly to connect to my ps3. Could you possibly repost that link? it seems to not be working. thank you!
Hi as the title suggests I want to create an app to turn our phones into a bluetooth keyboard/mouse for pc/ps3
So any help I can get would be much appreciated. My biggest hurdle is understanding how the bluetooth stack works and how to emulate a bluetooth HID device. I'm finding it very hard to get any information.
Any one got any pointers?
there are already a couple of apps that do this.
mobile remote from mobileSRC is one of them.
Unfortunately mobile remote (dont know about the others) doesn't support the widcomm bluetooth stack found in new devices (like my rhodium)

I'm just about to get a touch pro 2 as well so thats one of the reasons why I would like to make my own app. It seems that the tech required to make this type of app isn't well known as I haven't been able to get any help/info anywhere. Hopefully I will stumble upon something and if that happens i'll upload something here
Can anyone help me on bluetooth keyboard configuration for HD DESIRE?
Even with the software it just JP Blue Keyboard connects but does not type.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
What rom are you using? Afaik sense breaks hid support. Try an aosp rom if your using a sense rom.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I'm using the original ROM. I would not change.
It has no application to help you set up?
It won't work full stop with an original sense rom. It just doesn't support bluetooth HID but an aosp based rom does.
BlueInput from Teksoft
Hi marcionavarro,
Did you try the BlueInput app? It's a driver app for many bluetooth devices. I've tried it with the SU-8W and Nexus S. Works flawlessly.

Just tried BlueInput 1.8 but still no joy with my Think Outside/iGo BT keyboard. I've been trying this since Christmas.
The fundamental problem is with HTC having installed an incomplete Bluetooth stack (see BlueInput for Android manual on Teksoft website - sorry not allowed to post hyperlink). To be fair Teksoft seem to be aware of the problem and seem to be trying to fix it. The HTC Desire is such a popular phone it should be able to connect with a BT keyboard without flashing the ROM. Let's hope BlueInput 1.9 due this month will work!
By now I hope to no avail. I can not configure my Bluetooth keyboard.
I renew my request for any friend help me.
As I tried to explain in my post on 18th Feb, the problem is with the HTC version of Android OS which doesn't support the HID profile used by a lot of Bluetooth keyboards. I've been trying to find a solution since I got my HTC Desire. The only possibility (without flashing ROMs) at present AFAIK is to get a BT keyboard which uses the SPP profile which the HTC Sense ROM does support. The Freedom Pro keyboard is switchable between HID and SPP and has Android drivers available. The technical support at Freedom Pro say that they believe their keyboards do work with the HTC Desire. I'm reluctant to buy a new keyboard so I'm still hoping that BlueInput can sort out a solution for HID keyboards. I don't think HTC are going to do anything about their firmware but maybe an upgrade of their version of Android will fix this?

I've tried everything. Blueinput, JP BlueKeyboard and nothing. Does anyone have any idea. My keyboard is the SU-8W Nokia.
The definition of madness is trying the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
Why don't you absorb the comments of the more knowledgable people who have provided reasons why this is not working and also a solution to get this working.
It is not difficult to change the ROM on your Desire given recent tools available. Although this will mean searching or looking at the sticky threads.
Not only that but you will find greater functionality from your Desire even if you didn't want this, it may prove useful in the future.
Hi
I have read a few of the posts in the dev section and think the answer to this is a "no".
I would like to clarify though please, with those of you who are more regular on this board and have a greater knowledge.
My question is, does a ROM exist which allows for the 3D side of things to work 'and' allow the use of BT controllers?
I've read of some nice sounding ROM's but they all seem to be built of the back of the stock, so have the BT stack problem and cannot work with BT control pads.
Read of the CM7 [I think] that does allow the use of BT control pads but this one lacks the 3D side of things.
I want the best of both worlds, but believe this is not yet possible.
Just looking for confirmation please.
Also if there is development work in progress on a ROM that will include the BT control pad connections and the 3D apps, please could you name it/point me to it, so I can keep an eye on that one.
Thanks
Apparently works with 20p...untested by me though...
See below issues with bluez ime....

Cheers, I upgraded as was on an old 2.2 froyo still.
Now on 2.3.5 with the s/w v21a
Still no luck with the BluezIME though unfortunately, hopefully one day I'll be able to get that working.
Thanks for info shredman
