Like many others, I am running 51 and unable to connect to a Bluetooth keyboard. On a previous firmware (can't remember which), I was able to connect after changing main.conf. Here's my gconftool output:

~ $ gconftool -R /system/bluetooth
devices = [00:07:E0:4C:BA:2D,00:07:61:C6:FD:AE,00:07:61:F7:0F :29]

/system/bluetooth/device/00:07:E0:4C:BA:2D:
name = Iron Lung
services = [object transfer]
class = 16769300
icon = control_bluetooth_pda

Also, I am able to successfully send and receive contacts between my N900 and two different Palm OS devices (Tungsten T5 and Treo 650) via Bluetooth.

I have voted for this issue on the bug page.

Your info about my setup is correct.
I am also connecting to a car stereo for both music and hands free.
The setup was made before upgrading to 51.

When I got my device, I immediately upgraded it to the latest firmware (PR1.1 51), so I never had my keyboard working. It pairs just fine, but when connecting, it disconnects almost instantly.

I voted for the bug.

I seem to have lots of entries in the Services section. How come I have lots that others don't?

First, sorry for late reply, I have subscribed to this thread but somehow I did not get the notification email.

That's correct, I am unable to see the keyboard as connected.

yes, pairing was succesful

Olighak first reflashed to 51, then reflashed to 42, and then did OTA updates
to 44 and 51.
I don't know how jtkim, cardiff-blues, and JoHnY updated to 51.

I did an OTA update as well (through the App Manager).

I am able to connect to my old N6300 and I the only thing I have tried was to send a contact card and it worked fine.

I did not try to connect before the upgrade.

Here is the gconftool output (the second device is the phone):

Can people run the following command:

$ tar cf /tmp/bluetooth.tar /var/lib/bluetooth

(ignore the errors that it gives) and send me the /tmp/bluetooth.tar
file. I need samples both from people who have been able to connect to bluetooth keyboards under 51 as well as people who have not. (If you haven't yet posted whether or not you are successful, let me know when you send this file.)

tar: removing leading '/' from member names
tar: can't open '/var/lib/bluetooth/maemo-callerid-none': Permission denied
tar: error exit delayed from previous errors

That is OK and expected. It created the file anyway. Please post it or send it to me by email.
