I have found that if I reflash with os2008 and do not perform backup restore, I can successfully pair with my StowAway keyboard and my Jabra bluetooth headset. Maybe someone else can try and see if this works for them.

Thanks. Will give it a go when I finished playing with Canola2 and iTablet...

Yes, this did it for me as well, except that I did restore as well. Before that, it would error before it gave me the chance to enter the code. After the reflash, it waited (as it was supposed to).

Thanks, K.

Can you be more specific about the changes in /var/lib/bluetooth ?
I tried looking around but i'm not sure what should be changed as i don't have a beta to diff with...

I'm also having problem with a headset that worked great in 2007 and the 2008beta. It will work some times and show the headset-volume icon at the top, and sometimes in BT it says it's paired but i don't get any sound on it, only by the speakers. And sometimes i even get sound though i don't get the icon! Something is really screwed up in 2008 i think... time to open a serious bug issue ?

Can anybody do it? seems like my account logs in maemo.org but not bugs.maemo.org )(*$)(*&%?!"$

That was my original problem that caused me to reflash. would not even give you a chance to enter the code on the keyboard.

This worked for me as well(reflashing without restoring from backup). Using new Apple Wireless keyboard.

There were a few quirks still. Here is the process I followed:
- Reflash without restoring the backup.
- Control Panel --> Bluetooth Keyboard --> (Generic 105/US ENG) Pair
- Gave me the option to enter the passcode, but would not take.
- canceled out to control panel and then reentered Bluetooth Keyboard
- Same settings, this time when I hit pair the screen jumped back to the panel to select what to pair with. I would click the keyboard and then click pair and it would go back to the available BT devices panel again.
- canceled out back to control panel
- went into bluetooth under connectivity
- got a list of devices selected the apple keyboard and entered the passcode hit enter
- failed several times
- got angry at the next passcode attempt and pushed about 30 keys in a random sequence
- paired successfully
- power cycled n800 and BT keyboard
- connected wonderfully again......fingers crossed this continues.

Yes, I can. I did not change any files, I simply copied all the files below /var/lib/bluetooth/00:00:00:00:00:00/* (where 00:00:00:00:00:00 is your device's bluetooth address) from the OS2008beta filesystem (where the keyboard was successfully paired) to the corresponding location of the OS2008 filesystem.

Because of this, I need to keep my OS2008beta partition around ...

I searched ITT and did not find similar issues in the previous OS releases, which would indicate that this is a new problem introduced between the public OS2008beta and the final version.

Where would one log a bug against this issue?

Can someone create it so we can go and vote, this is quite cirtical :-(
(I can't seem to log in right now or else i would have done it ...)

have submitted a bug (my first even , i hope i didn't make too much of a mess of it)
