Will I be able to connect a BT keyboard to HTC Desire HD?
Will it accept HID devices?
HTC Desire didnt becouse it used an old BT driver or something like that.
Is the HDH useing a newer driverpack?
Bluetooth keyboards & Desire HD
I am keen to know the answer to this one. Being able to connect a bluetooth keyboard to my HTC Touch HD (WM 6.1) phone is one of the reasons I still enjoy using it. I hope moving to Android with the DHD does not rule this out.
I spent 30 mins tryinh the Freedom i-connex, and even installing drivers I couldn't get it to work.
To be fair I did just give up as I lost interest, but it's definitely not just a simple quick and easy thing.
Very unlikely to work, HTC has their own BT implementation and its not yet worked on any of their phones (until Cyanogenmod ROM comes anyways).
Samsung Galaxy S does support on 2.2 firmwares, as does the Dell Streak, and every phone with an available Cyanogenmod ROM, if thats a consideration for you.
My Mini bluetooth keyboard http://www.chinavasion.com/product_info.php/pName/mini-bluetooth-keyboard-for-smartphones/ from Ebay is on the way, i hope with treksoft Blueinput software http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=products&platform=2&pid=24 it will be ok with HTC DHD.
So, after a test, it is definitely not working for my DHD (bundled android driver or trial teksoft blueinput for android). So bad :-/ Hope for some useful upgrade in the future...
Will we get better BT support with then new Gingerbread Android 2.3?
Sounds as if it wouldnt be hard implementing good BT drivers in this kind
of phone to start with.
Wonder way HTC dont want us to use BT peripherials??
Any news about Gingerbread and BT HID driver?

I asked from HTC Support and:
"Peter, the HTC Desire phone does not come with the Bluetooth HID protocol. There is no method of putting this protocol onto your phone and we cannot guarantee that it will be included in any future updates."
But the HID is working with the Oxygen v2.0 RC4.
Nice regards
Peter

I used this driver:

I was not able to plug my apple bluetooth keyboard under the official sense rom on the desire HD.
However, after installing the latest "stable" cyanogen (6.1), bluetooth is working, and I can connect and use the keyboard (it uses the HID profile).
Hi @All
I am playing with wiimot, my snes games.
Cyanogenmod 6.1.3
ONLY with sense ROMs dont work The Bluetooth driver
Have yesterday nonstop over 10h playing
Hi, just read about the "non-possibility" to link bluetooth keyboards, unless to root (if well understood with cyanogen), or use Keypro, welllll....
I'm no hero, o rooting I do not see as a solution and Keypro desn't do the trick either.
Problem on my side it that the pairing works, but once paired, the system indicates "paired, but disconnected" & no chance to connect???
I have a flexible (silicone) keyboard and really like to use it.
Anyone an idea?
Thanks in advance
Noone could use a human input device via bluetooth yet on HTC and Samusng droids due to the fact the manufacturer's OS is simply incompatible with these devices. It seems like the only way to use a device like that if u get a custom OS on your device. I tried to bug HTC with my questions like why exactly can't they provide an OS with bluetooth HID support meanwhile an unofficial developer can deal with it. Got no explanation, just the repeated answer saying that it is currently not compatible with HTC devices. And I should check for updates regularly. Maybe if the more people would bug them... Give it a go everyone. Would be great to use mouse, keyb, gamepads...
Hi all, i'm looking for the same solution too and found an apps called "BlueInput" which claimed to be a working driver, can anyone please try it with your BT keyboard since I haven't bought a keyboard yet... Thanks a lot!!
Here's the link of the apps, and I've seen a demo version on Andriod market:
http://www.mobihand.com/263//product.asp?id=415867
tested with my key-board: doesn't work
Found however following link (also via XDA): i-miss-erin.blogspot.com/2009/09/connect-bluetooth-keyboard-in-android.html
But seen my faculties/knowlegde regading tooring etc, I haven't tried.
If anyone could help me with an "easy root for moorons" - please contact me....
I am fighting for the operation of my Bluetooth Keyboard Nokia SU-8W on the DHD so far without success.
Any suggestions?
I haven't tried CyanogenMod 6.1.3 or 7 Rom but if this is the only way to have the keyboard worked, I think I'll have to learnt to root now =_="
I've bought a BT keyboard and installed BlueInput, it don't work on my DHD, but it works very well on my sister's Dell Venue =_=" What a shame!
IRXON BT HID keyboard from dealextreme doesn't work with HTC Magic stock or DHD stock / Leedroid ROMS.
Amusingly enough, this worked like a charm with a jailbroken iphone 2g. Can anyone else confirm support for HID keyboards on the Desire HD with CM 6.1 or CM7 ?
EDIT: Naturally, tried every input app in the market, including BlueInput demo, another app for japanese HID keyboards and even BT input drivers for Zeemote and MSI BT gamepads
Anyone tried on the market:
"Bluetooth Keyboard Easyconnect" from Mike van der Sluis?
If so & successful, think I really need to get the rooting knowlegde (well knowing that with the current 2.2.1 no rooting is possible, so a downgrade is needed etc etc etc....... - in other words: HELP!)
I know there are certain requirements such as having a 3G radio and camera that google requires for market access. At least, that's what I've read. My question is how are things like the wifi only Galaxy Tab going to access it? Is it going to be packing a 3G radio, but just not activated sort of like how the FM radio shipped in the nexus but wasnt activated out of the box?
I am exploring this question because NOOKcolor is launching this month and runs a skin on top of android2.1. I'm hoping it gets rooted with cyanogen on it because that would be awesome on a $250 tablet. But the question remains...would it be able to access the market? Can the 'hardware requirements' be bypassed by any means on a rooted device?
TIA
Lots of devices run android and don't have a 3g radio and only wifi. They're mostly mp3 players but they can access the market as far as I've seen. It should be possible for the NOOKcolor to be able to reach the market. I don't know for sure though, I've been wrong before.

To access Market there is no hardware requirement. You just need a few apks. And internet connection.
Hi Folks,
so as I got a new car which has built in bluetooth, I'd like to use RSAP with it.
Currently my Sensation uses only the bluetooth module as a hands-free-speaker.
But in order to access the phonebook it needs to support RSAP which can be installed / used with this software:
http://www.android-rsap.com/compatibility.html
But as all of you can see there it is not compatible and I'd like to find a way to have it working properly.So is there any possibility to have it working?
I'd pay a bounty to have it working of lets say 20€ - I guess I am not the only one who would love to use this function.
Who else would pay?
Greets,

i used the word RSAP to search google play and found some results that may be what you look for .. i'm sure you already checked the market but maybe you missed this .. hope it's what you looking for .. some other paid apps too
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android_rsap.rsapinstall&feature=search_result
Yep, found it - these 3 apps are all from the same developer...
On his website you can see, that he confirm its not working (what I tested and it is not working for me).
He says that the Radio has changed or whatever - someone has an idea or someone is able to develop?
Hey everybody, I just purchased and installed a new head unit for my car, that can stream music through bluetooth. My phone runs the latest cm10.1, and I am looking to replace the crappy "voice dialer" with google now. Is there any way to do that? Also, my phone won't send the meta data of the mp3 to the unit, I use Google play music, is there a fix to that? I read some where that Android 4.2.2 pretty much broke bluetooth, but it has been a while so is there a fix that I have missed or do I need to flash a custom rom? thanks!

The HTC Bluetooth stack doesn't support AVRCP 1.3, which displays the metadata (artist, album, track title, etc.).
I read that CM has their own bluetooth stack which supports AVRCP? could It be that it just hasnt been implemented in CM10.1 yet, or did I just read some false information? My phone is Rooted, S-offed, and has an unlocked bootloader. Thanks!
I'm mostly a Sense user, so can't comment on the CM (or other AOSP) builds for a while now. But I was trying various AOSP ROMs a while back. One of the main reason being to see if the Bluetooth stack was any better than the HTC stack (and if it would work any better with my car head unit). None of them displayed the meta data on my car stereo head unit. But its been months since I've given any AOSP ROMs a serious try, so this might have changed.
I'm not completely clear where the Bluetooth stack comes from for CM, and imagine it might vary by device. But its true on my old HTC Desire Z, that the stock HTC stack did not display the meta data, but CM ROMs it did display the meta data.
I know Google is using AVRCP v 1.1 and it does not have meta data. But I believe CM 10.1uses AVCRP 1.3 such does support meta data. Might not hurt to try.

I've recently acquired a used Google Jamboard (Smartboard TV thingie), and I wondered whether it could be reflashed with AndroidTV or similar, since as far as I found out, it's just a TV (and at 55" 4K a pretty good one) running Android and the Jamboard app. I haven't tried yet whether ADB is able to connect to it.. will do that soon-ish. I thought I'd check whether anyone else had tried that yet, but there doesn't seem to be anything around on the 'net. If I could turn that thing into a regular smart tv, that'd be fantastic.

If you flash anything, it would have to be built specifically for the model number of the device. What can and can't be flashed on any kind of android device is very dependent on exactly what hardware it is to be installed on. For example, all of the custom ROMs here for android phones, tablets, etc.. have all been built from the ground up specifically for the device it is being installed on, there really isn't a "one size fits all" android software option.
