Re: The easy way to connect N800 to I go keyboard
 

Fn-OK? Why in the world would you do that? Just hit Enter.

Re: The easy way to connect N800 to I go keyboard
 

Jaslar, tried the same thing here, both "OK" and just Enter, still no luck. Bad keyboards? I dunno...

Re: The easy way to connect N800 to I go keyboard
 

GeneralAntilles - well, because, um, it said OK on the screen, and holding FN-Enter kind of equalled OK? Alright, then it was because I wasn't thinking clearly.

So I just hit enter this time, and this time, it TRIED to pair.

That's progress. Now I'll go back and strip out the Mac address from the files, and give it another shot. I feel hope!

Re: The easy way to connect N800 to I go keyboard
 

I just got mine yesterday. On a n800, OS2008.

Could not get it to pair when going to the "bluetooth keyboard" setting in control panel. I tried about a dozen times with no success.:confused:

Finally, I just went to the "Bluetooth" setting under "Connectivity" in Control Panel.

It paired on the first try.:)

Go figure...

...Now, if I can figure out how to get my on-screen-keyboard back without rebooting, I'll be happy. Once I start using the iGo, it completely takes over the keyboard function.:eek:

Re: The easy way to connect N800 to I go keyboard
 

No, that didn't work either. But I've not had time to work through all the files again before trying this. Thanks for the tip, though. It might be helpful by and by.

Re: The easy way to connect N800 to I go keyboard
 

I just wanted to type this from my igo keyboard and say thanks.

For anyone having the issue where the n800 immediately drops the pairing attempt and shows failure to join, doing these steps took care of my issue
ONLY after restarting the n800

hope this help

Thanks very much for this post.

My problem: I can't seem to get the on-screen keyboard back after disconnecting the igo. My guess is that if--and when--I restart the tablet, it'll reappear. But for the lack of complaints about my problem, I assume that others have their keyboards restored without doing this...

If it helps, here's how I "disconnected": I went to Control Panel>Bluetooth> Devices>EDIT (the keyboard)>Disconnect. The green light on the igo stopped blinking. But the on-screen keyboard is not returning.

Any help is, as always, greatly appreciated.

Re: The easy way to connect N800 to I go keyboard
 

I have the really same problem. It is annoying that I have to reboot the device after using the hardware keyboard.

And also does anyone know how could I type special (Central European) characters like éáó etc.?

Re: The easy way to connect N800 to I go keyboard
 

Update: the trick aboout editing the files in /var/lib/blluetooth did it. I was more thorogh the second time. Once it was TRYING to pair, then I could type the code. Thanks, all.

Re: The easy way to connect N800 to I go keyboard
 

Thanks Tori for the instructions.
Worked after I followed instructions exactly.
After I closed the keyboard, on screen keyboard worked again

After I opened the keyboard again, the keyboard worked after 1 keypress.
Wonderful. Thanks for all the help
