After a couple tries, I successfully paired my stowaway keyboard with my n800 (Os2008). It works great.

But sadly, I can no longer get to either the stylus-sized or the finger-sized touchscreen keyboard. I expected this behavior when the BT keyboard is on and connected to the n800, but even when the n800's bluetooth is off I can't use the touchscreen keyboards. When I tap in a text field, I get the little word completion bar across the bottom, and it waits for input from the disabled bluetooth interface !

Has anyone else had this problem ? Have I misconfigured something ?

Thanks very much for any assistance!

Maemo bug 2850 identified this.

The referenced workaround did the job. Thanks!

Same this apparently applies to USB keyboards.

and the fix there is simple, unplug the keyboard from the adapter first, then unplug the adapter...

I've been having this problem too and will try the workaround posted in this thread.

Is voting it up in Bugzilla the most a non-programmer can do to solve it? :\

Sorry for bringing back this thread to life but this one really helped me a lot! thanks.
