fantanstic news !
I wanna use it with mouse and keyboard as mobile computer ~

Great News... Can a working version (alpha/beta/demo) be released before next Friday morning?
I leave next Friday evening for a 5 day camp where no laptops are allowed... ordered a BT Keyboard.. and have several BT Mice... would really like to use a BT Mouse on the HD2 as well...

indeed, would be great to have it asap. the news said something about "weeks away". probably it's in testing phase.

about time! hate having paid for the software and not having it working.

hopefully it supports different language/keyboardlayout. thats (beside mouse support) my only problem atm. with bluetooth on the hd2.
anyhow great news mad.

Here's a demo video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLRXSBcu6WI&feature=player_embedded
showing a bluetooth mogo mouse working with an asus device, that has the Broadcom Stack (like the HD2 does).

looks impressive...
waiting for news

Still holding my breath too. Teksoftco's web site has everything in place except the download. Sure wish they would put up an expiring demo so we can at least have something.

Teksoft sleeping - confirmation
Ridiculous: Teksoft Broadcomm page is defunct for almost two weeks now. Are they sleeping or what? Does anyone know any details? Where are the beta testers???

Wonder if this will get around the issues with Wiimotes and Playstation Sixaxis remotes...would love to use one of those in FPSECE instead of the bgp100

Nice video showing the possibilities of blueinput. But the HD2 already has integrated bluetooth reception. I have a microsft 6000 series bluetooth keyboard, which is easily recognised by the current bluetooth software on my HD2. The current issue of the bluetooth keyboard is that not all keys are functional in the windows mobile 6.5 software. What is needed, therfore, is software that can reprogram the bluetooth keyboard keys, for more functional use. That will be a milestone for the Hd2. Has anyone heard of this software yet?

So you are saying your M$ 6000 BT mouse pairs properly and works? I have a M$ 5000 and the HD2 sees it but cannot pair with it. It works fine on a laptop.

No, he wrote "keyboard", not "mouse". No comment on your reading skills.
To be serious: back to my post on page #1: what about the blueinput software? Where are the beta testers???

Ok, Teksoftco, this thread was started by you on Feb. 5, today is June 24. 5 months seems a bit extreme for a beta test.

Hi,
totally agree with you, 5 month to issue a software is a bit long. Perhaps waiting for people to buy other/recent keyboards ;-)
Anyway, my BK600 would work with my hd2 with that software. Too bad they haven't delivered yet. What do they need developpers ? (i'm one of them , so if they need help... lol )
Anyway in the same vein, i would really like to ask for sources of freedom / Com1 / omiz BK600 to fix the to issue a driver for my hd2 ...
Kind regards,
and still waiting some driver to make my bk600 work on my htc hdé !!!
Ludovic

Don't hold your breath - the software is defunct - not working - major issues.

see my thread : developping bluetooth gateway for bk600
enough to wait for will-be-released drivers, or drivers which are not for my phone.
I'll try to make on myself. If i succedd, it won't cost $15 ^_^

BlueInput: BT Keyboard not found
I've downloaded the last/new vesion of BlueInput 1.0.101. But still it can't detect my BT keyboard (HP iPAQ foldable). It detects though my BT mouse - Logitech MX1000 and it works fine, but no any signs by the keybord.
My other BT software on my HD2 detects the keyboard and i've managed to make it work, but its inconvenient to use one program for keyboard and another for mouse.
Has anyone experienced similar problems with iPAQ BT keyboard? It cannot be detected by BlueInput software. These guys need to do some more work before i buy this software.

Bought a cheapo chinese bluetooth mouse a while back for this purpose & have been waiting AGES for Teksoft to get this software running (I guess android has been the priority for them lately).
Works OK on my HD2 3.14 official wwe ROM, although probs encountered whilst on the home screen (weather animation on) or viewing videos. Also doesn't always track screen rotation (Youtube app for one, although does using IE).

bluetooth keyboard

I can't get a diffinitive answer. can we pair a bluetooth keyboard with the mogul? thanks, zacharyjeans
Yes, I use Igo stowaway foldup keyboard.
Alan
I use a Dell Executive Keyboard - I believe it is the same as the Think Outside keyboard, except in black. Works fine.
If you want the StowAway, get them while they last since iGo is not making them anymore. I have one and it works great, so I'm disappointed to see that they are stopping production.
My husband has a Mogul with Windows 6.1. His keyboard is a Freedom Universal Keyboard. It doesn't work after the upgrade. Do you know where can I find drivers for the Mogul 6.1? Or at least a keyboard that works with the new rom? Thanks
I have the IGO one as well as the bluetooth mouse and they both work well. The reason Igo isn't making the bluetooth keyboards anymore is because the company did not want to keep up with the driver demands for a new ROM or device (according to Smartphone and Pocket PC).

Broadcom Bluetooth Stack For X1

Can Anyone Help Me To Find An Working Broadcom Bluetooth Manager Stack For My Xperia?
any wm5+ version would work
I'd suggest you search the forum with those keywords
but to tell you the truth I haven't come across any braodcom stacks
since wm2003SE so not 100% sure there are any but haven't really looked that hard
Out of curiosity, what functionality are you hoping to gain by switching stacks?
will
i tryed hard looking for keywords using google and i have seen many CABs but they didnt work because of the license,
and sonus i think that Broadcom Bluetooth Stack its much more professional than the normal ,i think Broadcom Stack has much more bluetooth plugin`s than the other plus you feel free when using it
so anyone have a idea where i can download it free and it must be for wm 6.1 or 6.5
There was a working cab to change Dell X51v MS BT stack to Broadcom. But you probably need some hacking in order to make it work for other device. Broadcom stack has more profile but also has it's own problems (e.g. system volume control is not working over A2DP). Do a search on TP2 forum (since it's using broadcom stack) and you will find out.
Why would you want a Broadcom stack? I spent 2 months trying to get a Microsoft Stack on my A696 which only supports Broadcom. It was a frustrating and fruitless exercise, though I did manage to get an upgraded version of Broadcom working at one point it didn't work very well and didn't do anything my old version didn't do already. None of the Microsoft ones would run at all though, and I tried just about every trick possible.
With the Microsoft Stack you can use fun things like Bluetooth Mice and Keyboards - something not yet supported by Broadcom stacks. I'd stick with that imho - its quite fun and useful
That search to try to get a bluetooth mouse to work with my A696 PDA is why I'm registered as pdamouse...
Peter
guys
guys i still want that bluetooth stack no matter just any working broadcom bluetooth stack for windows mobile 6.1,
i just love how it works and it gets information ,it has many profiles that are not in the normal bluetooth stack and it provides many options at the same time so pls guys do anyone have any idea where i can find such stack to download it and use it for free?
same question as error man
Hi Guys, is there a good stable bluetooth stack for the TP2? i have lots of issues getting it to work properly with my volvo v70.

It might help solve the disconnect issue with WM devices and several handsfree devices.
I just tried one of the WM 6.5 Roms on my Kaiser (TYTN2).
It will still disconnect the headunit in my car (Kenwood DNX8220BT) after a call is finished. I was hoping WM6.5 would improve the Bluetooth stack.
I also have an Experia X1 which is exhibiting the same issue

Not wanting to came across as a seller, but have you heard of Teksoft BlueInput?
They're almost there!
How do I know this? I'm the one who asked Teksoft to build such a a program!
Been using several HID devices with my MS bluetooth stack WM phones, last years. Even a Logitech diNovo Mini, a "small" keyboard with touchpad.

Bluetooth Keyboard?

Any confirmed working BT keyboards?
My trusty Think Outside BT keyboard that has sync'ed with every phone I've had in the last 4-5 years doesn't work. Gutted.
I need a keyboard for this thing!
Any help links advice appreciated.
Thanks,

That's strange, because my iGo (Think Outside) bluetooth keyboard works fine. Didn't even need to install the Think Outside software or drivers - just put the keyboard in discover mode, phone picked it right up, assigned the HID profile, and voila - works grand!
Well waddya know! Don't have any of the shortcut functionality or command and function options but its working as a basic keyboard. Thanks robertlewisca! Never thought of that!
Quite expensive and big solution, the Logitech DiNoVo Mini.
I've bought it for my computer but it also works on the HD2

How did you pair it...?
Does Logitec diNovo Mini works on HD2? I checked the official website of Logitec and don't see it would work on Windows Mobile. Kindly tell me and confirm if it works on HD2 and teach me how to pair. Thanks!
Apple wireless (bluetooth) keyboard works on HD2

To let you know, just used apple's wireless keyboard and it works perfectly !
I was able to outperform the Cootek Touchpal (software)-keyboard , which usually works pretty fast if you know how it works!
hope this helps! perhaps you could try it yourself in the apple stores XD
WORKING EXTERNAL KEYBOARDS ON HD2:
+ Apple Wireless Keyboard
+ Logitech DiNoVo Mini (confirmed by Zero Masamune )
Apple
Apple wireless BT keyboards (newer types) do not work! It pairs OK, everything looks OK, connected and all but - no typing. Unfortunately. I do have a Stowaway foldable, works perfect, although shortcuts do not function (none). Fortunately all others keys do, as with my last HD keys were mixed up sometimes (UK/US/NL problems)
So which BT keybard would you recommend for HD2?
And does the embeded touchpad/trackpoint work with HD2 as well?

I also got the Logitech DiNoVo Mini connected with my HD2. However, the mouse pad function not working on HD2. Only can use the mouse pad for up, down, left and right movement.
Are there any others? Im thinking of getting a BT keyboard
My ThinkOutside BT folding slimline works a charm... Some of the keys take a while to 'warm up' before they'll work 100% but I've been using this thing since I got my Tungsten T3 so it's kinda understandable.
Anyone get bluethooth mouse connected on HD2? Or I need to install third party software before HD2 can connected with bluetooth mouse?
hi,
looks like the hd2 dosent like bt mice, my advantage do work well with 2 of them, the hd2 wont. keyboards i tested til now are the freedom universal 2 and the think outside stowaway. both working well for basic keys, but support only english 'qwerty' keyboard layout and no spezial language chars like german 'ÄÖÜß'.

By that do you mean. "p, backspace, enter, delete" don't work for a while??
I noticed this on my Stowaway and I thought it was faulty hardware and I was gutted. First time I paired with 1.43 it worked like a charm for about a week, then those keys stopped working.. it may have had something to do with flashing to 1.48, but after some repeated hammering and opening and closing of the keyboard they start working, sluggishly and then they are okay.
I thought it was a problem with my (admittedly ancient) Think Outside Stowaway BT keyboard.
Nice to know its not that!!
I read on another thread that a company were working on drivers to make full use of the winmo shortcut keys again..
Here are the links to that topic:

Confirmed working with Freedom Universal Keyboard, old one I picked up off ebay for my Kaiser. And even better, no playing around with drivers and codes. Paired straight up!

X7500 Advantage has MS BT Stack, HD2 (like TP2) has Widcomm BT stack that don't recognize BT mouse as BT "Profile".....so.....
we hope for a developer's release of a MicroSoft Bluetooth Stack for our device.

Same problem!!! Blueinput from teksoftco need MS Bluetooth Stack......we have widcomm...bleah!
why is it not made a keyboard that you can attach to your mobile phone through the usb port? it would have been fine with a keyboard of the same quality as what was on the qtek 9000 or is it allready made?
I'm using a HP iPAQ branded BT foldable keyboard and it works perfectly. I guess it is really a Stowaway Keyboard but I'm not 100% sure.
It folds out to an almost full size keyboard and has a nice retractable stand in the rear of the left half (the rear of the right half is occupied by a compartment for two rechargeable AAA-batteries).

Cooking MS Bluetooth stack into rhodium...?

Not sure if anyone out there is aware, but a lot of people (myself included) have been having some problems with the Widcomm bluetooth stack that is being used in the Rhodium (touch pro 2, tilt 2) and i possibly the Topaz (Touch Diamond 2/htc pure). Does anyone know if it would be possible to take a the MS bluetooth stack that has been used in other phones in the past, such as the touch pro from last year, and cook it into the newer touch pro 2 ROMs?
Bump. I'm interested in this question as well.
i am interested 2 because older htc bluetooth stacks are working for me
Count me in. I would also like to see this cooked or even some solution for those of us who want to change to older one.
I don't think that drivers are available. I'm not sure, but I don't beleive any Rhodium ROM (even the early dev builds) had M$ stacks.

Hey Sleuth!!!! Good to see ya, been awhile!!!
You may bve able to use the different stack. There are other BT stacks that were installable via cab for devices past. However, as Sleuth pointed out, unless you have access to device specific drivers it will take a bit more work than just cooking in an available package from a previous device package.
Give it a try. If you know about disassembly, try to compare the stacks. Just remember that there are not just the BT drivers you need to worry about, but also all of the shared resources that the driver uses or is used as for some audio functions, in example.
Just a note, but plenty of people had problems when they switched to the Microsoft stack in the titan, TP, etc. The fact that they switched back to the Widcomm stack was a blessing for A LOT of people who weren't able to use their last gen devices with many Nissan and Infiniti vehicles with both bluetooth and navigation. It just didn't work for us before the TP2 came out, unless you kept your old HTC Apache for this long.

yeah, I was almost ready to jump ship to android or even iPhone but then the Rhodium appeared. This is a bonafide cool gizmo the likes of which I have not seen since my Palm TT3.
MS BT Drivers
I would also love to have the MS BT drivers in the Rhodium. with Widcomm the voice dialling does not work properly, the phone does not connect to my Win 7 laptop. All this worked just fine with my TyTn II.
Yep, would be nice...
Driving a Volvo with BT, and up to now, I could pair it with my O2 Atom Life, HTC TP and a lot of other phones & PDA's.
Since i have the TH2 though, i can't get the sound working while trying to do a hands free call.
Recently I found a workaround by disabling the Data Connection in Comm. Manager, but this still stays a cumbersome solution.
I would appreciate the old MS BT stack of the TP on my TP2 as well
Iam not sure... about this but what i know is the devices which use generic bluetooth stack (microsoft) has bthuart.dll in oem drivers and bluetooth packeges in sys atleast thats what i have in my device..

Bluetooth Mice

Hi all,
I saw a thread (after searching) relating to the upcoming release of.....Blueinput for Widcom broadcom stacks.....whichever one (for HD2)
Is this currently the only way (the beta which apparenltly only 10 peeps got) to get a bluetooth mouse working on our HD2?
I can see it and try to pair it (Im using Razor pro click mobile bluetooth mouse) but it asks for a passkey - the mouse does not require a pass key
I have been playing Quake 3 on my N95 using this same mouse (Oli Hinka release),
Oh god.....its so so so good, Tv out and perfect handling I am actually playing a PC game on my phone with real controlls....
So I thought, yeah this could be even better on my HD2 - but cant even pair it let alone play Quake 3.....
We really really need a version of quake 3 for our devices.....just like the N95 port, a perfect PC clone uses all same data file and allows connection to and creation of Game servers.....(play against PC)
People think that playstation games are the be all, they are great but if anyone played this version of Quake3 from my 3 year old N95 8GB it is simply jaw dropping.
anyway...the purpose of my thread was to get bluetooth mouse going, then I got all excited.
Any ideas on pairing methods?
Kind regards
Nope, and even if you could pair it (I can pair mine, as it has a passcode) you can't do anything with it as there's no mouse driver.
Looks like where just going to have to wait for Teksoft to release the bluetooth drivers for the HD2. Hopefully it wont be long i also am very interested in using my bluetooth mouse and keyboard with my phone. It says it will be available very soon on there forum pages.
Hi !
can i ask a question ?
would you mean that the Teksoft would allow my kb600 (you know the-unable-bluetooth-stuff-to-connect ;-) to work with me leo ?
best regards.
ludovic.
