Re: how to get bluetooth pc105 keyboards to work with N900
 

You would need to enable the Fremantle tools repository / catalog.

Here is how:

Good luck.

Hi,

Do you think it's worth trying to connect to a bluetooth HID in LXDE?

If not, having just sunk money into a DiNovo mini I'm sad :(

Re: how to get bluetooth pc105 keyboards to work with N900
 

thanks, I installed it but how can I enable the logging? I can't see the log file anywhere in the filesystem...

Re: how to get bluetooth pc105 keyboards to work with N900
 

You open a terminal and as root type:

You open another terminal and you do the bluetooth pairing and connecting. When you're done, you go back to the first terminal, press Ctrl-C and read the log file with:

Hope this helps.

This doesn't work on LXDE using either Blueman or Bluez-gnome using PR1.1, the bluetooth keyboard will successfully connect and then immediately disconnect....

I tried downgrading to PR1.0, unfortunately this made all repositories stop working (failed hash check?) and my sim to not work with my mobile, so I had to re-flash to PR1.1 :(

Re: how to get bluetooth pc105 keyboards to work with N900
 

I have tried it and it's true, the keyboard connects and then it's immediately disconnected.
Does anyone have any clue about what's going on here? :-(

Re: how to get bluetooth pc105 keyboards to work with N900
 

No, nobody seems to know where the problem lies. The only people who succeeded in using their bluetooth keyboard with firmware PR1.1 have upgraded their firmware OTA and not by reflashing via USB. It looks like this is the only scenario to get the bluetooth keyboards working in firmware PR1.1.

What difference in terms of the bluetooth stack and configuration files occur with a firmware upgrade OTA vs USB?
If we can pin this down, maybe we can find and fix the problem.

Woo, I have my DiNovo Mini connecting to my PR1.1 N900 now... It works, albeit without symbols etc. (looking into this)

In order to do this I had to:

1. Reflash to RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.42-11_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM
2. Derestict allowed connections in main.conf
3. Pair keyboard
4. Apply pc105 fix (it doesn't error, nor does it seem to work with symbols however..)
5. Follow SSU updates to PR1.1 (I connected the bluetooth keyboard successfully after each update)

Note that I haven't even accessed the bluetooth device settings since step 3.

Cheers

OK, as an update I've found that sometimes when bluetooth is stopped / started it won't connect with the same problem in this thread and I have to restart the phone

Other times it will only let me enter two characters once I open a window and I have to restart bluetooth hoping I get the problem above!

Re: how to get bluetooth pc105 keyboards to work with N900
 

Yes, but there are people who have done OTA updates but who are not able to get bluetooth keyboards to connect. One might think that it requires having previously connected prior to upgrade. But there are people who have who are not able to get bluetooth keyboards to connect and people who haven't who are.

Here is my table. It is not updated with the latest posts over the past few days.

spp means that gconftool lists strong_pin_pairing.

I can't find any simple correlation that explains what is going on. I also don't see any simple correlation in the output of gconftool on /system/bluetooth. And I also don't see any simple correlation in the files in /var/lib/bluetooth.

I think we need to find out which process is issuing the HCI disconnect command.
