Im sure this may have been addressed but couldn't locate it.
I have a bluetooth keyboard and touchpad. i want it to work with my moto atrix. So far i have used the 'blueinput' app but it only recognizes my keyboard and not the touchpad. anyone have luck with any other way to sync a bluetooth keyboard with their android? i also am looking at 'KeyPro' but i havent tried that yet.

With the latest Transformer firmware I have paired and connected an Apple Wireless keyboard. But typing doesn't do anything.
It's frustrating as it shows up as "Connected to input device".
Anyone else have any luck?

Have you installed a keyboard app?
I have a little mini bluetooth keyboard (no name chinese) which I usually use with my Galaxy Tab. Just tried it on my Transformer, and it works perfectly.

I've got a think outside BT keyboard and it works perfectly with the Transformer...
Interesting it's working for you guys. Did you have to install anything? Or change any HC settings?
Maybe it's something to do with the Apple keyboard hardware.
I don't know why but I've always had trouble with Apple stuff that i've tried to connect to other non apple devices via bluetooth. Apple to apple bluetooth is always fine though which is strange. I don't know much about bluetooth but maybe apple products use a non-standard profile or something.
My Apple keyboard did not work either when pairing. I got another bluetooth keyboard out, and that worked correctly.
Looks like I need to get a new one.... Are there any Bluetooth keyboards with android keys like the search and menu keys?

Xoom Keyboard is only one I know available that is made with android keys. I think acer is coming out with one for Iconia and I foresee many 3rd party companies making one in near future.
I can confirm that the Apple Wireless key get paired, reckognized but...not working

I have this same problem, but I didn't know a keyboard app was required. Any suggestions on a good app?
i too am in a similar situation
Purchased the ZAGG bluetooth keyboard. It pairs fine and works with my iPad, and even my Galaxy Nexus. However on my Eee Pad Transformer, it pairs, but can't use it.
Hi all,
I'm trying to find an external keyboard for my rooted, CM7 Optimus T for under $50. It doesn't matter if it's USB or bluetooth keyboard as long as the phone is propped up when typing on the keyboard (an integrated dock would be nice). If you guys have any ideas let me know.
Thanks.
I've never thought of an external keyboard for you're/a phone.Isn't enough the touchscreen keyboard?
I feel like I could type much faster with an external keyboard compared to on-screen keyboard. Plus, the on-screen keyboard that I'm using is a swype-like keyboard so it would be nice if I have a letter-by-letter tactile keyboard as an alternative.
I'm using CM7 2.3.4 (mik_os) and from what I've gathered it could run the standard-fare HID bluetooth keyboard (please correct me if I'm wrong), so I bought one of them off Amazon for $17 (after looking up "mini blueetooth keyboard"). It'll arrive in 2 days so we'll see. Any app that I need to install to configure the keyboard more easily? (I've heard many bluetooth keyboards don't have Android instructions).
The other thing I would like is to prop up the phone when I type so I'll probably need some sort of a kick stand or a dock. Any suggestions? I've came across the iGo Stowaway which is a foldable keyboard/stand - a perfect solution but very expensive so I would like a cheaper alternative for a stand after purchasing the keyboard.
Thanks.
Bluetooth keyboard
Hi, I bought a bluetooth keyboard from ebay for around $20 and got it working on cm7 with a program called BlueInput from the market.
Has worked flawlessly evertime for several months.
get an app called WiFi Keyboard on the android market for free.
It works great and can turn any networked computer's keyboard into a keyboard for your android
search at ebay. there are good bluetooth keyboards and u need to install a driver to make it work, which the manufacturer provides
This seems like the sort of problem that has simple and obvious solution but I have looked everywhere and not found one. I bought a mini bluetooth keyboard to use on my e100 because texting with the resistive touchscreen is pretty much the worst thing ever. The keyboard manual claims that is natively supports WM6.5 which is what the e100 runs. When I put the keyboard in pairing mode the phone finds it as "Bluetooth mini Keyboard" and is able to pair with it. However unlike my other bluetooth devices such as my headset which works without a problem the option to connect is greyed out. The difference seems to be that the devices that have the option to connect have services to be used from them. I have scoured the internet reading about bluetooth stacks and have failed to find a solution. Any help much appreciated.
Noone has any ideas?
I picked up the Logitech bluetooth keyboard and case, apple Ipad version, for cheap last week. I'm trying to get it to work with my Inspire. I've managed to get it to pair up, although not connect. I suspect in this case I don't "connect" but instead have to install a driver that will enable me to use this keyboard with my Inspire, and then when I want to use it, I should be in a text entry situation and select the bluetooth keyboard as my "keyboard".
At any rate, so far I'm having no success with getting the keyboard to actually let me enter text onto my Inspire. Has anyone seen whether this will indeed work with Gingerbread or perhaps it only works with tablets that have Honeycomb or perhaps ICS?
Anyone else having issues with their SGN 10.1 and bluetooth keyboards. I had been using an Adesso BT keyboard with my iPad for a long time and it worked great. Switch to the SGN 10.1 and now I'm having issues where it'll behave like a key is stuck and go bonkers. Usually I have to power off the keyboard to get it to stop. Power back up and connect it and it's completely random how far I'll get before it goes bonkers again.
So, I thought I'd give another keyboard a try to see if it was something about the keyboard. Not so much. I picked up a brand new logitech BT keyboard (with solar recharging) and I'm having the exact same problem. WTF is up with the BT stack on this thing? Mouse works fine, Jaybird BT headphones are flawless, WiiMote and SixAxis controllers, also good. Simple BT keyboard, unusable because of this issue.
I have the latest OTA update and hope it's just a software issue that will be solved with JB which supposedly swaps out the BT stack, but God only knows when Samsung is going to get that pushed out for US owners of the 8013.
Anyone know what voodoo is required to get a BT keyboard to work reliably with the current firmware.
I'll also put it out there that I have SwifKey installed and have tried the BT keyboard in every combination of SwitfKey active, not active, enabled, disabled, even uninstalled... Same results.
Thx.
