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!)
Specifically for the HTC One S, i'm curious how our phones work with it. If you have, please let me know if you are using stock, CM, or any other ROMs. I'm looking to get maybe the pebble (not out yet) or fitbit. Thanks!
I'd like to know this too. Are there any ROMs out yet that enable Bluetooth 4.0 one the HTC One S?
It works from 4.0.3 version with open broadcom ble api which was here recently http_s://code.google.com/p/broadcom-ble but now it's deleted.
It needs a little patch to the library (does not work without). I have done some little tests last year but then put it out.
New rewritten api is here http_s://code.google.com/r/naranjomanuel-opensource-broadcom-ble/ but not tested.
Now I'm making an app to test things. I can connect to TI Keyfob with Keyfob demo firmware and read battery level and tx level and even get notifications when level changes. Have to add some quirks to make it work
And there is a proprietary HTC BLE SDK which you get after NDA. Not sure if it support this phone, but it's based on broadcom api.
As of 4.1.1 version phone can "see" discoverable ble devices in bluetooth settings, but can't do anything from there.
I'm actually looking for other phones with ble supported, chinese maybe. But I guess we should wait for 4.3 to spread around.
MaximusHD. But i dunno really if this works, since i can barely see any difference at all when i was on sense 4+/4.1.1 when it comes to speed on sharing files via bluetooth..
i am on Magio ROM 1.0.4. i want to pair my Heart Rate Monitor. I can see the device, but when i want to pair it, the message is, that the PIN is wrong. Shame...
Does Bluetooth 4.0 depend on the Android version (4.3 or higher) or on the kernel version? From Linux I know that drivers can be included in ther kernel or as separate modules.
Is there any custom ROM with 4.3+ AND Sense?
Edit: My co-worker has CM 11 installed and his Runtastic BT 4.0 HRM belt works fine.
anyone know that fitbit work and sync with one s (maximus hd rom)?
Hi,
It might be a stupid question, but I was wondering if it is possible to build a ROM with a very minimum features. No phone possibilities, no bluetooth, no gps, no sync with anything.... Turn it to a Ipod Touch like in someways...
I could use any ROM without using all these feature, but by removing all the unnecessary, could it be lighter and faster ?
I am asking that, because I have a aging I9000 and I would like to turn it up to a remote control only. I am currently using it for Spotify, my AV Receiver, XBMC, my NAS. So, actually, I just need WIFI, and maybe access to Google Play to install the apps needed, but it could be done by installing the APK directly.
That's it !
Thanks
So The title is pretty obvious -- I have a HTC Desire Bravo, a Samsung 7500i, and a HTC Wildfire Buzz.
I am using these devices purely to control my music from a nas server and Libratone loop speaker (which are awesome btw) all on the same wifi network. I am doing this with some dlna s/w like allstream and twonky mobile...
so.... QUESTION.....
I Want to strip (and I mean strip) these phones down to their absolute bare bones.... No I don't want to "clean up"my system apps with an app as I have tried them all and removed all the apk's including the system ones like the phone so don't respond about apk's please....
I am talking about the low level stuff, I don't need any kernel modules for radio even but don't want to go too far before causing the usual bootloop etc...
it's all very exciting , sigh
Hello guys my HTC is getting slower and im thinking an AOSP rom could help am i right?
but 2 things is preventing me of installing one
the HTC's sync program: i cant find an alternative of it .... i mean htc sync syncs "all" new media to my pc but others like mobile go will backup the media to a file"file.bak" so i cant browse these media just restoring it to my mobile! or im missing something?
also i've tried double twist(its not syncing media from sub-folders like whatsapp) and my phone explorer(i couldn't understand it )
so its not as good as htc syc
the beats audio: most of these aosp roms has DSP manager which is not good and also microphone audio is bad and low so calling and voice
recording is not good
thanks guys i hope someone can help me out
Hello mhammadakkad,
definately true. I was using the InsertCoin Sense6 rom for quite some time. Switching to AndroGeek's CM12.1 rom was the best I could do to my old one mini
What do you want to sync? I have never been using HTC sync but if by "media" you mean the files on your sdcard partition, they are easily accessible using MTP mode.
As for Beats Audio, I think it is somewhat overrated. Audio quality is great with CM :good:

thanks for reply @encelados i will give it a try
i take a lot of photos and not every time i want to move these photos to my pc i have to look for them select copy past... kind of annoying
htc sync knows the new media and moves it automatically:good:
about audio quality i can ignore quality but i cant live with low mic volume
i will try cm12.1 i hope its good enough
Edit:
i flashed cm12.1 today its pretty awesome and smooth but VoIP calls isn't working !
VoIP not working seems to be microphone/speaker related. I can establish a VoIP call without a problem but I cannot hear anything and the callee can not hear me.
If however I press a number on the mobile, the callee can hear the corresponding tone on the other side. I am pretty sure this could be fixed as well as the problem with the low microphone sensitivity.
