Has anyone paired a BT Keyboard yet to the TP? - Page 2

mtfitzgerald · 08/24/2011, 10:13 AM

Just received the official HP keyboard and have paired it. However, every few letters I type, it switches to card view or to the "Just type" search interface. Have checked to ensure those buttons are not stuck. Ideas welcome. Nice keyboard.

just paired up a logitech mediaboard pro (ps3). It is working OK. The palm help page on BT does not really provide much in the way of instructions for navigating with keyboard. Is there a way to return to card view with the KB?

Paired an AZERTY Logitech Dinovo mini but the mapping is QWERTY ! Is there a way to modify the layout ?
Same problem with an QWERTZ Apple KB :

I was able to pair my Logitech diNovo Edge with it but only thing that worked was typing

Apple Bluetooth KeyBoard - older model came IMAC intel circa 2006

* enable bluetooth on the touchpad.

* make your apple keyboard discoverable (turn it on, blinking light)

* in the bluetooth settings choose Add Device.

* change the type to "KeyBoard"

* it will find the keyboard, and prompt you to enter a passkey.

* enter 0000 (for example) hit Next

* after you hit next go to the apple keyboard and type 0000 and then hit
the return key.

* Pairing spinning progress circle should freeze, then you should be connected.

remember, you are free to make up the passkey, so it can be anything you want. i typically use a four number combo, but macs have something like an eight digit one when you pair them. don't worry what it was on your mac, you are making this one up.

I have paired a Verizon universal (marketed as xoom keyboard) bt keyboard that is meant to be used with androids. The letters worked as did the directional buttons. Everything else wouldn't work like the +/- volume buttons, forward back and play buttons. The android buttons (menu, back, home, search) did nothing but type in random letters.

Goto verionwireless.com and search for part# MOTMZ600KBRD I work for Verizon so I have plenty of time to try these things lol.

I get a pairing failed message w my old palm Bluetooth keyboard. It finds the device just find but no pairing. It asks for a code and I've been using 0000 for both units but still no soap. Its been a couple of years since I've tried to do this so perhaps I'm doing something wrong. Suggestions?

i m not sure how old the keyboard is but it the to finds the in just fine but no pairing.

like konsole i got the logitech mediaboard pro for ps3 working on the touchpad, very nice. minor gripe is you cannot switch to launcher etc... just type - the mouse touchpad on the keyboard just generates seemingly random chars.

Motorola Xoom Bluetooth keyboard does not pair which is a shame as it seems silly getting another keyboard...

How did you get your's to pair? My TP sees the keyboard but then I get "pairing failed"

What are you using for a passcode - mine will not accept no passcode and when I try 1234, 1111, 0000, or anything like that, I never get a chance to enter it on the keyboad.

TIA
