Sweet BT Keyboard on BUY.COm ($32.99) - TouchPad Accessories

Getting this for my iPad2 and honestly haven't looked into many accessories for my TP. Worth looking into either way because I plan on using it for both: http://www.buy.com/prod/logitech-bl...new-ipad-1-2/221993833.html?sellerid=23093153

Sold out. How do you know it's compatible with the TP? It says ipoop1 and 2

Dang, was afraid of that... just checked my order status: "In processing". -.-
It doesn't state that it's Android compatible but it's bluetooth so it should work.

Wait? That's your response???
"but it's bluetooth so it should work."
Well, a pitchfork will do many things, some of them not what you want but still "compatible" in that sense. Not going down that rosy path of spending ~$30 for something that "may" work.

Why wouldn't it work, it's BT enabled? Besides, I have an ipad2 I'll use it with if not, pretty sure I mentioned that in my post. All the reviews I've read on it say it'll work with all Android tablets. Yes, that's my response. Don't like it, don't buy it. Simple.

So, what you're saying is your useless recommendation for a touchpad is reinforced by the fact that you have an icrap and you'll use it for that, BUT you recommend it for a touchpad when you have absolutely NO clue if it will work with one?
Heck, I have a brick, I KNOW it will work with breaking a window, but I am pretty sure it will also let me possibly make oatmeal, you too should try it.
This is a useless recommendation. Yes, it WILL work with an icrap, but if you have absolutely NO idea it will work with an touchpad, don't make out as though it will. We have enough useless recommendations for hardware that simply never will nor has worked with this device.
BTW, icraps suck.

Feeling stupid that nearly ALL BT keyboards will work with this HP I see. Take your trolling elsewhere.

The vast majority of keyboards and mice out there will use bluetooth HID so they all use the same drivers and will work on Android or pretty much any OS. The HP WebOS Touchpad keyboard works fine in Android, Windows 7, etc because its HID.

So, wait, a random person who hasn't received said keyboard, is backed up by another person who hasn't tried it with the TouchPad, and the both of you equal definitive proof that this thing will work with the TouchPad.
Good thing you both consider "me" the troll yet I'm sure there are plenty of bridges you'd gladly sell someone for cash up front and no deed.

The BT Human Interface profile is a standard so, theoretically, anything that complies should work.

You OBVIOUSLY have not researched BT keyboards for your HP TP or you would already know this. Done with you dude, you tried to be a smarta$$ and fell on your face in doing so. No way out of it now.
This was sold out hours from my post, this can be closed. Thanks.

I have the Logitech tablet Keyboard for Android, and I tworks fine with the HP Touchpad, at least in Cyanogenmod9 (OaTs Mod).
The Tablet keyboard for iPad is the same hardware with some slightly different keys. The Android one has Home Back and Menu keys.
Overall, it is pretty nice as the keyboard cover doubles as a stand for your tablet.
And if anyone cares, You can pair the Razer Orochi the HP touchpad as well.
Not that I really ever expect there to be much issue with a standard Bluetooth HID mouse or keyboard.

Wow!!! I missed out on a sweet deal. I have been looking to buy one of these for a while.
Well, I did find one from Logitech (dented box deals) for few bucks more.
I plan on using it with my wife's Dell Streak 7 since I already have a BT keyboard from HP for the TP. As others mentioned, BT profile should allow this keyboard to be able to be used on most BT enabled tablets & devices.
FYI... the deal from Logitech is still available if anyone is interested.
They have it for $41.99...
Dented Box mean new / unsold items with damaged packaging... I have bought many "dented box" items and been perfectly fine.
Here is the link.

BTW... I was real surprised to see how fast this thread turned ugly for no reason...

You can also pick them up new on Ebay for about $32 shipped

BYE (?)

Firstly, let me thank all of you wonderful people, here on XDA, for all of your help with my many devices over the years!
But the time has come to move on. I'm afraid I have 'jumped ship' and got my self an iPhone 4!
I know, I know!
But I have to say, I love it! Is it as adaptable or individual as an HTC device? No! Is it more reliable and easy to use use? Yes! The plain fact is, it simply works. I have had it with hours / weeks / even months of fiddling, tweeking, crying and swearing over my HTC devices to get them to do what I want, or, in the caseof my HD2, simply get it to work!
It is refreshing to have a device which took just one hour to have just the way I wanted it. Nothing freezes or crashes, no resets (my HD2 required a soft reset with Memaid running every day or it was unusable), and customer service that is quick and very helpful (example, paid £40 for igo and couldn't get it to sync. Apple answered my email in 2 hours, I had an email conversation with an advisor over two days, trying various fixes which eventually worked. Then they emailed to tell me 'sorry for all the inconvenience' and 'as a valued member of the Apple family' (I know, yuck) they were refunding the £40 in full and hoped I would enjoy the app!
When did HTC ever respond like that?
I still have my HD2 (and my Touch HD) but they are being used by my wife and neice. The iPhone, much as I hate to say it, is just... better. It works, is quick and reliable. When I need it to work, it does and that is what, in the end, I need in my device.
I wish you all enjoyment in the use of your devices and health to use them!
Maybe, I'll be back some day...

You are all right, of course. Yes, it is more boring, in some ways a downgrade. I accept all that. However, there is no getting away from the face that it just works and has some amazing features (yes, I had a lot of them on my HD2, but they either took ages to work or didn't work right at all. I might sell my stuff eventually but my wife and neice are enjoying their 'new' phones ATM.
I am no fanboy and am quite progmatic about everything, I may well be back, or on android if / when things change, who can say?
Thanks again, and bye...
Another assimilation by the iBorg...
Mate, jeez why did you have to get a bloody iPhone? If you really hated your Leo so much, what you could've done is get an N1 or a Desire, and whacked MIUI on it. My mate bought a Desire, and had no dramas setting it up and using it.
If you need the apps from an iPhone, GET AN iPOD TOUCH! iPhone is just an overrated piece of ****e that does not do a lot more than a dumbphone, you are forced to use iTunes, it is locked down to the hilt, plus it loses reception when you touch the bottom left corner. Not to mention that you can't change the battery. (iPhone 4 is not the first phone capable of video calls, not to mention you can't do them over 3G)
I do see his point with WinMo being unstable (well it's an M$ product after all, and yeah I had a Leo too, but changed to a Desire due to WM being unstable, bugger all apps, unfriendly, buggy, and Android being the next big thing) but seriously, you should've changed to an Android phone. I talked most of my mates out of the iHype, and suggested a Galaxy S or a Desire instead of being Apple's slave. I like my freedom, mate!
Just my $0.02 ...

Mate, last year I would have agreed with you. Fact is I have had this phone for a fortnight now: no problems, no crashes, no resets. It is quick, responsive and does what it says on the tin!
Reception is fine, I've had no problems and don't use a 'bumper' or anything. As for itunes, I thought the same - then thought jailbreak. Fact is iTunes works just fine! Most of the apps I 'bought' were free or just 59p so I don't see the problem. I have never changed a battery in any phone I've owned... so don't anticipate a problem there. Android is great and, soon, it may be just what I want, but not now. Not yet. It just isn't quite there.
GPS on this thing is MUCH quicker, MUCH more accurate, MUCH more powerful (I get lock at home and work which I have never got close to before - HD2 couldn't even lock on OUTSIDE my work!) than anything I've used before.
Yes, there is an issue of being 'locked down' and I worried about this. However, when you use the phone and iTunes etc, there simply isn't an issue! If it works, and works well, what's the problem? I can't customise the phone but I'd rather have something that looks the same and works than something that looks different and either doesn't work or doesn't work as well or takes a lifetime to get it to work!
Don't get me wrong, if android comes of age by the end of my contract (12 Mnths) then I'll sell and come back to the fold. Untill then, I'm loving my iPhone and I don't care who knows it

You're quite right about the HD2's GPS lock, it was slower than that N95 I had, but the GPS in my Desire is top notch, only takes a few seconds, and accuracy at its best was about 3 metres (HD2 was 7m). I do know the iPhone 3G had **** GPS signal (took ages for TomTom and Navigon to get a lock on my mates phone). I haven't used the GPS on a 3GS or a 4 or a 3G equipped iPad though to be honest.
I just wanted to show my opinion of the iPhone, and by the way, I have owned an iPod Touch 2G (bloody well regret selling the damn thing. Might get a 4th Gen once the SHAtter jailbreak comes out) and I do like the UI, and as a tweaker, I still like the power to do that and that's why my trusty old iPT 2G was jailbroken. Apple are great at designing stylish hardware and good UIs (heck look at the LISA, and even the Mac back in 1984, the GUIs on those wiped the floor with anything else at the time), but what pisses me off with Apple is Job's arrogance, marketing hype, vendor lock-in, and a heavily restricted platform where you have to obey anything Apple tells you to do. But at least the iPhone doesn't have all that **** that the telco (carrier) shoves down your throat, like unwanted apps, wallpapers, branding or bootscreens.
Sorry if it seemed like I was a zealous anti-Apple fanboy who doesn't see past WinMo, Blackberry, Android, or Symbian. It's just the iPhone isn't my cup of tea, along with those stupid little fart apps, gun apps, virtual beverage apps, and web site "apps" (iPhone's not the only one to have them btw).

He's British, he doesn't have to worry about (third world) time zones (joke, please don't shoot me!!!!)
Have you got any info about how BT is stuffed? (Besides, if he doesn't want to use BT (I don't) then can't imagine no matter how bad it is he will be worried)
Yes apple devices restrict bluetooth in such a way that it can only communicate with apple devices (much the same as their video chat) and certain headsets ect. I am unsure if there is a jailbreak solution, But the fact that apple implimented this in the first place is enough to turn me away.
Dont forget this is in conjunction with their other connectivity and access issues (eg, no USB ports, no filesystem access no sd card functionality)
As I said above apple has led the way in restricting our devices. And since people have not taken issue with this, Microsoft, google and motorola are following, and they will as long as it is profitable to do so.
Not very nice of them, probably explains why none of the iphone people I see have BT devices. To be honest though, neither have I for my HD2 so this wouldn't cause me a problem at all.
Restricted or not should not be the question, the question should be "does the device do what you need?". In the OP's case, it sounds like it does so good luck to him.

did u ever had an android device in ur hands?^^
I am a microsoft certified shtooge.... They really hit a homerun with Windows7... but how can anyone take them seriously with a mobile os. They had over 10 years to kill that ****.. and they are weak. If Windows Phone 7 doesn't go well, you won't see Windows mobile until a computer and phone are the same.
how anyone could take microsoft seriously in the mobile arena is beyond me. I will be surprised and shocked if there new offering is actual stable and usable.
Seeing all OS's... I would say the android so far is winning.
Bluetooth actually works okay for me. My Samsung headset paired first time and works like a charm. I can even send stuff to other phones (non Apple) using an app and my phone isn't jailbroken yet.
It's just a matter of what is best for each of us at any one point in time. A few years ago WinMo was my choice. Now, it isn't.
Yes, I have used android and it is great. But there are still issues with reliability and crashing and also the iphone just 'felt' better to me, both physically and emotionally. I don't regret it and, as I said, I can change again in a year if / when things change. I am not (and never have been) a blinkered fan of any OS or any manufacturer. My phylosophy is, if it works and does what I need just now then I'll use it!
Yes, I will hop over to your iphone site (never knew it existed till now) but I'll hang around here from time to time too... maybe flash android to the HD2 and see how my wife gets on with it...

[Q] Can we get Premium Suite for our TF101?

Hello,
So I saw this on engadget today http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/23/samsung-teases-jelly-bean-premium-suite-for-galaxy-note-10-1/
Now first off, I know a lot of people here probably hate it as it's similar to Onskreen in that it will mess with application display sizes, possibly be propriety and undermine the whole point of standards.
That aside, can we get it on our TF's? I'm guessing it'll probably have to be baked into the ROM on some level....
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Short answer, no...
It seems to be proprietary. Thus, Samsung will have it on their tabs only. Just like HTC has the sense UI for their devices. Yes sense can be mimicked, but I see the premium suite needing a special stylus with button. I don't see the TF101 using such a device. Maybe a basic stylus, but not one that has mufti-functionality. So, even if we can port the UI to the TF101, I seriously doubt you can get the entire experience that it can offer.

android phone acts as a keyfob to unlock tablet?

Hey guys, so im an android lover and i now own an android phone and tablet.
I have an asus prime with samsung galaxy s 3
I would love to be able to completely integrate them both. I think it would be cool if my tablet recognized my phone in range and synced all files and they worked in conjunction with each other.
So far the best i can figure out how to do is use tablet talk to sync sms which is cool.
I'm wondering if anyone here knows of a way i can use my phone as like an electronic keyfob. As soon as my phone is within say 1m of my tablet i no longer have to enter a passcode?
Also when i say i would like to see the phone and tablet its hard to explain what exactly i would like to see but the best ive seen to describe what id love to see is what ubuntu are describing on their ubuntu.com/devices page
if anyone has any ideas on how i could set this up i would appreciate it.
Cheers
I'd be interested to know also
sell them both and get an ASUS Padfone or even better and ASUS Padfone 2.. job done!
You could make a small app that uses nfc to accomplish this most likely. You may even be able to do so using the app Taskr
omg i wish i had heard of these before buying my bloody tablet and phone now! cant believe ive never seen them before!
read an article that padfone 3 is planned for fall 2013. I think ill buy one then lol cheers

Just so you know; The Padfone, only becomes a Tablet, when the Phone is in the back of the device.
Once you remove the Phone, the Table part no longer functions... Its not 2 Separate Devices.
So if you want to look something up real quick on your "tablet" but you have the phone to your ear and in the middle of a call, you can't... unless you put the phone is the back compartment of the "big screen"..

HDMI 'IN' ?

I bought a GoogleTV box from BestBuy some time ago and soon returned it as it was severely crippled in comparison to the MK808 I ultimately ended up with. After I worked on the Antenna, I am relatively happy with my decision, for the cost.. However: The Google TV had the coolest feature, and I want something similar.
If anyone knows of an Android STICK with the 'HDMI INPUT' feature, like the feature which allowed the GoogleTV to overlay a the Android screen over my cable box feed. I'd sure appreciate a heads up.

It was cool.. you can do a picture in picture kinda thing.. where the Android OS is a transparent overlay. And, this allowed you to keep the android OS in the background aswell, so you would be notified of incomming email and messages and stuff while watching your other hdmi source.
It interacted with the TV guide and search features......I gave my Revue away, its just had way to many limits....

That would be extremely valuable to me. The more i looked into it the more it looks like it is not currently possible. To do it android drivers would have to be built for any additional hardware needed then you would need to make that work with an existing media play or develop your own.

Are there really no good qwerty phones anymore?

So I love one thing, and that is to have a phone with a qwerty hardware keyboard. I've had many many phones over the past 8 years, but the ones that I will never forget are my ADP1(Dream), and my Nokia N900. Right now I dumped my M8 and got back with my N900. But I do want the speed and hardware of newer smartphones, I see projects like the Neo N900 and I drool.
Of course blackberries and their PRIVacy which doesn't allow rooting are a no-no.
Anyone knows something I don't?

The current times are leaving devices like that behind just like with the old flip phone. Get used to it and get a touchscreen phone.
I DO NOT GIVE HELP IN PM, KEEP IT IN THE THREADS WHERE EVERYONE CAN SHARE
True, it's not like I expect to see a whole new line of phones with physical keyboards, but every now and then something has to come up. There has to be a device coming up to cater to the needs of people like me! I know I'm not the only one who would love this.

Things like physical keyboard are a thing of the past, so much so that I doubt there will be many more devices that have them. Think about it, it costs them more to make devices with physical keyboard plus it leaves less room for screen space. Touch screen with software keyboard is the smarter, cheaper, better option. Plus, non keyboard devices makes more marketing sense given that competitors kill them in sales.

Yeah I see that, that's why I'm looking for a device that's not too deprecated. As in the best qwerty handheld device out there for someone who can't let go of hardware keyboards, excluding a certain sprint-locked device(that's you photon q). Unless someone has seen something about an upcoming hopefully rootable(if android) qwerty device.
