Got The Logitech diNovo Mini Working With The Diamond - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

This should probably applies to all Bluetooth HID keyboards as well.
But anyway, I just bought a Logitech DiNovo Mini BT keyboard
http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboards/keyboard/devices/3848&cl=hk,en
I noticed that it was reporting as a typical Bluetooth HID device and thus I did the obivous thing and scanned for new devices with my Diamond. Lo And Behold it was detected! With a nice keyboard icon beside it too!
So I choose to connect to the device and then it asked me for a pass key, so I punched in the typical 0000, and the beach ball appeared.. and I waited... and waited... and waited..
"Error establishing device!" Damn!
I tried again cause I felt that it took too long to tell me that there was an error for it to be NOT WORKING And again I was greeted with an error.
So I scoured the net and I came across a Logitech KB article for their other Bluetooth keyboards, seems like to connect to it on Windows you'd have to TYPE the passcode on the KEYBOARD.
So again.. I got to the connection screen and then I keyed in 0000 in the diamond, pressed NEXT. Beachball came up, then I quickly typed 0000, ENTER on the keyboard.
"DEVICE CONNECTED!"
Woo hoo!!!
Downside is that since the keyboard doesn't have function keys, I can't access the soft menus on the screen.
Another more inconvient downside is that when the BT keyboard is connected. ALL FRONT BUTTONS on the Diamond are deactivated! Must be how the driver works. And since the DiNovo Mini doesn't have an off switch the only way to regain use of the front panel is to toggle the BT connection.
Inconvinient? YES...
Useful? ABSOLUTELY!!

hey marauderz, thanks for the heads up, i got a dinovo mini too (using with ps3) and after reading your post i'm going to try it out with my diamond.

I wonder what's going to happen when you have both ur PS3 and ur Diamond on at the same time? The box doesn't mention multiple connection sources
well just let us know, I haven't gotten home to try it out with my PC yet so I don't know about what happens with multiple sources.

WOOT it works just like you said!
About ps3, i'm not sure - i am using it in pc mode (switch at the back of dinovo) so it wouldn't work anyways if my ps3 was on. Later on i will try my laptop/dinovo and diamond/dinovo.
On the diamond, when i soft reset, i have to delete and remake another bt connection before dinovo would work again - toggling the bt would not make it connect. Bummer but hey this gadget is really cool!
Thanks again

I have also a DiNovo paired sucessfully with my Diamond, but the "bug" with the hardware keys is really a downer. I've searched MSDN and the Net but I didnt find anything to solve this Problem. I hope somone else can do this for me
vince

WOW!
just connected my Diamond to my Logitech MX5000 keyboard

I'm trying to do this w/my dinovo edge keyboard and it's not working? Can you please provide some more details? I'm assuming you keyed in a 4 digit code and pressed ENTER on the keyboard, then typed in the same 4 digits on the phone and pressed NEXT?
Good find, hope I can get it working too!
EDIT: I found specific instructions on how to do this. You have to enter the code in this order=>
It seems that the pairing procedure is as follows for devices that do not generate their own random passcode for use with the Dinovo, although I gathered this from experimentation:
Press Connect button on underside of keyboard
Search for Bluetooth devices with computer/PDA/phone
Select Dinovo from devices found
Enter a passcode on computer/PDA/phone if prompted (you choose the code), submit
Enter the same code on the Dinovo keyboard
It may be necessary to press ENTER on the Dinovo keyboard
Hopefully, the pairing will be successful.

smartphone - windows mobile 6
i would like to use the mini with windows mobile 6 - more specifically the tmobile shadow2. I can connect the device and my mobile recognized the keyboard as a form of input, but the keys on the mini are not working. are there any wm6 updates that i should find? I am on .net compact 3.5

National characters
Does somebody try to use Logitech Dinovo Mini for typing the national characeters? (like ľščťžýáíé etc...)

WM6 (X7500) and Logitech v270 BT mouse - how to pair ?!?

Hi there,...
first of all... sry for double post on this topic. But I think I am more correct
that in the WM6 forum.
Topic = Recommendation: Logitech v270 bluetooth mouse
At this thread and where my first post was there is the recommendation that this mouse works. I also often heard that people used this on there X7500.
But I have the problem that I cannot pair this mouse with the Ameo i have.
I set the mouse in pairing mode and let the Ameo search,.. but after some time
I only got the message that there is no device found.
WM6 has integrated pointer but i stuck at first step... the pairing itself...
Maybe there are driver for HID i can install.... not Bluemouse (it doesnt work.. I tried it already... the may work if you dont have a point, but I am not that far )
Please anyone ?!?!? Any idea ?

You have to press the connect button in on the mouse whilst you search. If this doesn't work change the batteries. If that doesn't work try pairing your x7500 with something else. If it doesn't work try restarting/ hard resetting. If this doesn't work it could be a hardware fault with your x7500. If pairing DOES work with another device then you could be looking at a faulty mouse.
WM6 does support HID out-of-the-box, I did experience the odd cursor 'dropout' in that sometimes the cursor would disappear and not come back - usually when using TCPMP. This did not happen with I/R mice connected via the 4-in-1 cable.
Hi Leoni,
it works... you are correct...
I am a little confused because when I paired it with my laptop I only have to
push the bottum once to put it in pairing mode and things were fine.
With the Ameo, due to your suggestion, I tried again and pushed the bottum
all the time.... surprise surprise... IT WORKS.
With 2 bottums and wheel support...
Now I feel a little like an idiot but anyway,,, it works.
(I thought I tried this before... but it seems I didnt )

Logitech Dinvo Edge BT KB, working anyone?

Is there a way for me to use a regular PC Bluetooth keyboard for my TyTN II?
I have this keyboard that would really work well with the device.
It would prove to be a really cheap alternative to the keyboard that is made for the PDA's, plus, it would make alot of things alot easier.
I would assume you must make a program that can read the signals made by the keyboard, but is this possible?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Bluetooth is Bluetooth, no? What happens when you try to pair the two devices? That's a sweet idea, by the way.
I think this might interest you as well. There's a way to connect a BT mouse to WM devices. I found it on Handango.com, although, strangely, it doesn't show up if you select the AT&T Tilt as your device (but it does show up with any WM5 device).
BlueMouse
I'm going back to grad school soon, and am loving the prospect of carrying 3 small devices that (almost) do the same thing as one heavy laptop!
EDIT: Just read through this thread, and WM6 actually has native support for BT mice! Except for Microsoft's own BT mice... lol. However, I think BlueMouse supports them.
Have a look at this link for a cheap alternative :
http://www.amazon.com/Stowaway-Ultra-Slim-Bluetooth-Blackberry-Handhelds/dp/B0002OKCXE
Buy it while stocks last, I would have brought one but I live in the UK and shipping will be too expensive along with any other taxes they may want to add unless one of you guys can send me one.
Pairing
I have a Logitech bluetooth keyboard with an integrated touchpad. But when I try to pair them, my device just doesn't find the keyboard.
Although I find it amusing, I believe it is even slower using a bluetooth mouse for my phone, than actually using the touch function
But we are atleast on the right track.
For now, I use pocket controller for using my keyboard. But the downside is that it's slow and you need your device connected to the computer at all times.
Imagine using a regular bluetooth keyboard! What a dream ^^
Have you tried using a regular bluetooth keyboard that doesn't have an integrated touchpad? There could be something about that configuration that WM can't handle.

Assuming your PC BT keyboard supports the HID profile (it probably does), it should work with the Kaiser right out of the box, as the WM6 Bluetooth stack has HID drivers built-in.

Ok. Now my device actually finds the keyboard, but I can't connect it. When I click connect, it asks for a password. I enter nothing, and it continues to where I can select the purpose for the keyboard. When I press finish, my device tells me that the keyboard wants to connect to my phone. Now I need a password to continue, so therfore I enter a random password, like 1111. Then my device waits for a few minutes, and tells me the keyboard has failed connecting.
I have a DiNivo Edge keyboard, if it's any help
Any ideas?
Thx ^^
Maybe...
Maybe I need a specific code, or a way to make the keyoard agree to the connection.
Difficult
Try 0000 -- that's almost always the default password for BT devices.

Thank you, but I've already tried it. The keyboard behaves like a phone, making my phone waiting for the keyboard to input a password. Damn :\

Sorry this may seem stupid, but have you got the user maual for the keyboard? Or tried the manufacturers site if not? They may have a general config for it (PC and WM device association key will be the same).
Otherwise, look around the keyboard (and even in the battery compartment of the keyboard) for a four digit number to try.

No, it doesn't sound stupid Sometimes even the smartest person forgets the simpliest resolutions
But I have already tried that, except for the battery compartment. I have no idea how to open it, cause it's an internal rechargeable battery. But if there is an opening somewhere, I'll take a peek inside for a four digit number
Thanks!
Been looking ...
... everywhere on the net, but still haven't found a way to connect the keyboard :\ Anyone that has the DiNivo Edge keyboard, and could help me with this? It would be more than appreciated
Thank you!

Don't,
I've looked up the Logitech Dinvo Edge and it looks as if it comes with a proprietory BT USB dongle for PC connection and all setup is done through an install CD (for the PC).
Do you have the CD because the 4-digit pin may be on the setup instructions. Failing that, it may be best to go to your first post on this thread and edit the title to be a bit more specific such as ' Logitech Dinvo Edge BT KB, working anyone?'
Give it a go.

Now, two months later, I am still clueless about how to get this working. Anyone having better luck than me?
I think you should enter your own passcode first on your PDA, and quickly typing the passcode on your BT KBD while PDA is waiting..
I could connect with Apple BT, Microsoft BT kbd..

connecting bluetooth keyboard

I have a dell bluetooth keyboard that I want to use with my tilt. It is computer keyboard and is not meant to be used with windows mobile, but from reading about the various other keyboards people have got working on Windows Mobile I figure it should work.
When I go to connect it asks me for the passcode, I tried 0000 and 1234 then I tried with a blank space and it worked. I finish the bluetooth connection wizard and a notification comes up (
). If I select no, the keyboard does not work so I do it again and say yes and it asks me for for a passcode once again. This time I am not allowed to click next without entering a passcode. I tried several passwords and they said incorrect passcode or other error. Is this impossible? is the correct passcode one of the codes on the back of the keyboard?
here are the details on the keyboard I am using:
After you type in a passcode on your PDA, you have to type in a passcode on your keyboard and then press enter. A passcode is something you assign to your keyboard so that only you can use it; therefore, it isn't something that dell assigns. Just make something up (e.g. "1234").
If you have more problems, read your instructions - the process is basically outlined in there: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/acc/P109356N/en/setup.htm
I hope someone can help me. I have a mini bluetooth keyboard. It pairs and works with my ipod, laptop and archos 70. I bought it, however, to use with my Samsung Galaxy Ace..and tho it paired, it connects and immediately disconnects. I installed the bluekeyboard Jp so it was finally in the settings. my question is..both my archos 70 and Ace are running on Froyo 2.2.1 yet it works on the Archos and not the Ace..could someone please give me any idea why it immediately disconnects so I know what to do next?
Thank you guys..look forward to any advice xx

[Q] Mini keyboard bluetooth

Has anyone tried a bluetooth keyboard that works elocity a7
I got one that looks like this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1R1D7X86D5K9NN4VHN57
Got mine off ebay and it didn't bring the extras (just keyboard and USB charging cable). It works. You have to inter the coade, 0000, in the eLocity and also on they BT Keyboard for it to pair and connect. After that it works.
Honestly, I don't really use mine.
Using this one:
http://ncix.com/products/?sku=57390&vpn=900335&manufacture=VISIONTEK
A few quirks though - have to pair the keyboard each time with the A7 when starting afresh. Also the enter key does not work for internet browser or youtube apps however it does work elsewhere - strange.
Oh and the mouse pointer is not visible.
Thanks for your answers

[Q] Pairing With Think OUtside Bluetooth keyboard?

Recently picked up the G Tab, flashed Vegan and am thoroughly enjoying the device and its capabiliities. I have an old Think outside Bluetooth foldable keyboad. Up until this point i have used it with my HTC Touch Pro 2. I am able to search for the device and the G Tab finds it. It even lists " Think outside Bluetooth Keyboard" in the bluetooth device list. The problem is when I go to pair it asks for a pass code. I have tried both the 1234 and 0000 recommendations but each time it tries to pair it fails. Any assistance in the matter would be appreciated.
PS I have a wireless HP RK906 portable keyboard that works instantly when the receiver is plugged into USB. It is a great keyboard and others may be interested in using it- in terms of portability though i hope i can get the Think Outside keyboard to work.
Cheers forum- flashing and finding answers to my questions has never been so easy.
I've heard many of the Roms are picky of what BT keyboards work. I myself would like to get one that runs on TnT Lite

------------------------------
Here is how I got my Menotek flexible bluetooth keyboard to work on Vegan 5.1.1.
1. Download and install blueinput from the market or find it on Google.
Other bluetooth keyboard software will probably work as well.
2. Turn on your keyboard and press the connect button on the keyboard if there is one.
3. Turn on Bluetooth under settings, wireless & networks and scan for devices under bluetooth settings.
4. Goto settings, language and keyboard. You will see two entires for BlueInput.
Place a check mark in the first entry and click on the second BlueInput entry to get to settings.
5. Click on the spy glass to search for your keyboard. Select your keyboard from the list. This will pair for you.
6. Exit out of settings
7. Long press on any text input field and select Input method and select BlueInput as your keyboard.
I had a few problems with non response at first and had to reboot, but it eventually worked.
Not tested on other ROMS, but should work if you can enable Bluetooth under wireless & networks.

Thank you for the help. Seems like i am getting closer but here is what is going on. Installed BlueInput fine. It finds my Think Outside Bluetooth Keyboard fine. I am able to pair with it as well...even press the CAPS and NUM LOCK keys to turn them on and off in the menu. Here is where it gets strange. It won't type in any field, including office suite. Within office suite when I try to select input method bluetooth keyboard is not an option. When i go to Language and Keyboard settings BlueInput is listed included the settings...but here is the catch - when i select BlueInput im giving a message that says, "This input method myb be able to collect all the text you type, including personal data..etc" but when i press ok it wont select the method! I can hear keystroke sounds when i press buttons but still no typing on web broswer or office suite. Any ideas? Hmmmm!
I am having the SAME exact problem.

I have a Think Outside Keyboard that I use with my HTC Inspire.
- Turn bluetooth on
- set ThinkOutside Keyboard to discovery
- when your device finds your keyboard touch it to pair
- enter 0000 on the device and then 0000 on the keyboard
it should pair up without any problems.
Good Luck!

I have a stoway ultra-slim keyboard made by Think Outside and finally got it to work. At first I used the Blueinput software and I got it to work but not very well. It had quite a bit of lag and I couldn't use any of the 'FN' keys properly. I then found a program in the android market called "Bluetooth Keyboard Easyconnect" and that worked perfectly for me. You may want to check it out to see if it helps.

I followed this method and had success, but I don't know how to configure Android not to use the "shortcuts" on the keyboard.... IE: every time I hit the "e" key it launches my email app.
Any suggestions?

The Bluetooth Easy Connect was the ticket. Thanks for the tip. My Stowaway keyboard is working well with calkulin 1.1/clemsyn froyo8.
