I had this #2640 bug with my bt keyboard. I guess I did. No pairing at all; even when I have time to type the code.

I removed the folder named after the bt kbrd, in var/lib/bluetooth , as suggested. Now my keyboard (Think Outside) has a different response: its blinking light is RED. It blinks every 10 milliseconds or so, if you see what I mean. This is frightening, especially because it happened before I reflashed.... and after.

And yes, I downgraded, for this reflash, assuming that versions prior to the current one (51-3 or smtg like that) were not flawed (some said downgrading did the trick).

I miss my bt keyboard..Should I specify that it worked just fine for weeks? That, in a matters of hours, it began to stutter and respond with "qwerty"s and "asdf" before it became silent?

I was so happy to cause my bt keyboard to respond differently: I was assuming: "if it blinks red, at least it recognizes that something was changed in the Tablet. It kinda works." But now, now that it recognizes, when attempting to pair, a XX:XX:XX:XX:... address instead of "Think Outside", like before, evidently, I'm even further away from a resolution... especially considering that this happens independently of reflashes!

Now I'm wondering if there exists a "harder" reflash for the OS... or some reset button or key combination to make the bt keyboard like before. What's a reflash anyways? Could someone explain why problems remain so similar (and strange: the red led light) after a reflash??

Or maybe I could copy some files to this var/lib/bluetooth directory (filling in my own bt keyboard address where it applies), instead of a blunt delete, like I just did? Or maybe reinstall a driver? Cuz those reflashes are getting irritating (btw, I did not restore anything from previous installations)



Thanks in advance to those who read and analysed all this.

I believe in aristocracy, though---if that is the right word, and if a democrat may use it. Not an aristocracy of power…but…of the sensitive, the considerate…Its members are to be found in all nations and classes, and all through the ages, and there is a secret understanding between them when they meet. They represent the true human tradition, the one permanent victory of our queer race over cruelty and chaos. Thousands of them perish in obscurity, a few are great names. They are sensitive for others as well as themselves, they are considerate without being fussy, their pluck is not swankiness but the power to endure… ---E.M.
