[Q] external bluetooth keyboard - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Will any external bluetooth keyboard function together with SE x8? Or none?
Or only specific ones? Someone tested or has one in use?

wont work with my Logitech Y-X5A77

I am thinking about buying this one.

- 5 Eur for Cuppon
Dunno if it will work...
If you know a working one, perhaps cheaper one, tell me.

I have the same keyboard (Logilink) and it works perfect with my X8.
I also tried to connect my bluetooth mouse, which really does work, only problem is that there is no mouse pointer and therefore you can't know where you are clicking.

Alternative
I use wifi keyboard (Android Market)
I just connect my phone and laptop to wifi , and use my laptop's keyboard to type in my phone.

it sound interesting here...i'll try

Bluetooth Mouse list..?

Hi i've been searching for a list of mice that work for our phones, i have a mouse program on my phone atm called BlueMouse. But for some reason the BT mouse i have isn't being picked up by my phone BT setting. And yes i have the bluetooth on, checked all the setting as well. The mouse i have atm is a Micro Innovations.
If any1 has any info please help.
Thankx
i would take a look at the troubleshooting page of the software, it looks like your mouse isnt broadcasting its id so your phone cant pair.

External miniusb keyboard?

Is there a possibility to connect a standard USB keyboard to the Xperia via a some sort of (homemade?) mini-usb to usb adapter and a 3rd party application? What about a USB mouse also?
I don't mind the small screen, but typing emails would be a lot faster with a full size keyboard. And no, I don't want those foldable keyboards like Stowaway etc.
EDIT: Found this app: http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=usbinput but will it work with the Xperia? Does Xperia have a built-in usb host?
-John
I dont think it has USB host but you could try a bluetooth keyboard.... Good luck
I use a bluetooth stowaway and it doesn't work well because the "space" key often times is too...slow. ie if i type at normal speed instead of "bob goes to school" i get "bobg oest os chool"....
Any info on BT Keyoards for Xperia?
I think it is very practical, it may be because I am a Chinese user, I used to take photographs and navigation more
I got one of these http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/keyboards-mice/8193/
A bit gimmicky, it does work but you need a flat surface to use it and typing speeds and error rates are not too good
My old HP BT keybaord did not work with the Xperia, so I got some days ago the Universal Keyboard2. It works as good as any Laptop keyboard. Taking meeting notes, revising docs or longer emails are with this BT Keyboard just esay and fast. It saves me time and the yellow pad is gone...
I believe that a BT Keyboard can help you to solve that

External HD keyboard

I'd like to use an external bluetooth keyboard with the HD2.
It should:
1) Be compatible with HD2
2) Be compact / foldable
3) Should include "mouse" support (touchpad, trackpoint, ...)
4) If possible it should be able to hold the HD2 (Athena like)
Could anybody recommend one?
Would HD2 transparently work with any BT/HID keyboard including the mouse support (pointer displayed on HD2 screen driven by trackpoint/touchpad from BT keyboard)?
Same here. Just wanted to push this thread. I would be very much interested in having such a device since my laptop is crap and I never gonna buy one again.
HD2 questionmarks
Nobody has an experience connecting bluetooth keyboard and mouse to Windows Mobile device???
And second question: is there a chance that HD2 is physically able to have USB Host and TV Out, but there just aren't drivers and TV cable at the moment?
I have - I used to use BlueInput drivers from Teksoft to connect a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard with my Touch HD.
Unfortunately however the HD2 seems to be using Broadcom bluetooth stack drivers that aren't compatible with BlueInput (Touch Pro2 owners have the same problem), so now I can't use then anymore -_-... at least until they make the BlueInput software compatible with Broadcom drivers or some Chef hacks in the Microsoft Bluetooth stack into a custom rom.
Haven't tried the default Stowaway keyboard drivers that came with the keyboard though, so maybe I can get the keyboard working again, but not the mouse until BlueInput is working.
Also very interested! Love how the Celio Redfly worked with my X1 but with HD2 no luck so far...
yep looking on with much interest
Guys, redfly is working. for both bluetooth connection and usb.
Also, as for kb, i recommand logitech dinovo mini. Its great
conect usb keyboard
I like to connect usb keyboard is this possible....i need help.. the bluetooth keyboard i dont like it because it takes to connect ...is posible for usb.
thank gracias
Dear Folks
I have the iGO bluetooth keyboard that works great - I purchased this about 18 months ago for use with my Nokia E63.
Now I keep it on my desk and is an excellent way of replying to emails and text messages.
I am going to try SWYPE, for when I'm on the move.

I have tried a few blutooth keyboards but you can't seem to use the arrow keys like you would want to..
The arrow keys work fine on my BB keyboard.

It seems we'll have this the easy way. Teksoft has posted a news on their site, about a Broacom compatible Blueinput version.

[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

Connect Mouse to the Galaxy Tab? Please help!

I was wondering if it possible to connect wireless (2.4GHz Micro Receiver) mouse Logitech V400 to Galaxy Tab.
Mouse in question is this
http://www.everythingusb.com/logitech_v400_laser_cordless_notebook_mouse.html
Any app that can simulate the receiver dongle?
No luck - I think
The Tab does not have either an IR or Radio transmitter that can send/receive a 2.4Ghz signal.
Why not get a bluetooth mouse? - mine works fine with the tab
Software to simulate a wireless receiver dongle? Um, no
As Bert says, you can just a bluetooth mouse, or you can try and track down the USB socket adaptor that Samsung was supposed to release for the SGT. I don't know if it's ever actually officially been released but if you want to try and use what is essentially a standard USB device, it might be your only option.

Nah... it's not possible. Just get a decent Bluetooth mouse... but check first if your ROM has the necessary HID support... I think the Verizon ROM makes problems in that case...
Just ask a friend who has a bluetooth mouse if you may try it, so you can be sure if the purchase of a new mouse (they are rather cheap though) pays off.
Just don't try Apple's Magic Mouse. I failed at pairing (Euro Tab, unlocked, unbranded, stock ROM)
T-Mo tab takes bluetooth mouse and keyboard. As soon as you pair, the cursor shows up. It's actually quite good.
Magic mouse to samsung gtab p1000
I was able to connect an apple magic mouse and Hid bt keyboard. The keyboard works great, the mouse scrolls and all, but no mouse pointer!;( im using a CM7 beta kang ROM. Ive seen posts for themouse pointer for cm7 but only for the evo4g, cant find anything for thep1000. If anyone knows please tell me, i would donate for this thank you.
wait, a magic mouse? I thought it would only run in Mac OSX and Windows!

Theres a difference between a wireless mouse and a bluetooth mouse. Wireless is a no-go.
