I have two major issues with Bluemaemo that I would really like to see resolved (if they haven't been already).
For starters it's important to note that I have a N810 running Diablo and a pc runny the latest Ubuntu Jaunty.
1. In order to run bluemaemo I have to type this code in to the ubuntu box first: hidd --connect **:**:**.**:**:** (mac address) as root. I'd really like to just be able to start bluemaemo and it'll connect to the hidd in my computer on it's own.

2. Let me just start by saying I think fixing No. 1 would probably fix No. 2. After 15 minutes it disconnects.
I have these issues because I use my computer as a tv and movie watching device. What is the point of a remote that you have to sit near the computer to use??? Anyway, I appreciate the help.
Thanks!

Yeah I have this issue as well. I think #1 comes down to bluetooth security/authentication - in Linux especially all forms of security are taken seriously. It's a bit more lax in Windows. It also has to do with pairing - sometimes my bluetooth mouse is recognized (particularly if it's already on at boot) other times I must run # hidd --connect. The behavior on the tablet in my experience is that it thinks it has reconnected but the other computer hasn't gotten the message (or actively refused the connection). Not sure if it disconnects after 15 as I tend to use it as needed with GIMP or photoshop and it goes idle when I'm not using it (killing bluetooth connections). Perhaps there is a daemon available to accept auto-accept trusted bluetooth connections - blueman is working pretty well for me but maybe someone would be willing to write something better.
In the meantime when it disconnects you can (and should) setup a VNC server on the host machine and just quickly open vncviewer on the tablet and reconnect. Or and you seem to be running Linux on the target machine, ssh into it. It's not ideal but it's wireless and doesn't require too much messing around.

That doesn't work with Ubuntu 9.04 w/ either bluez nor blueman. And yes the tablet is trusted:
And yes I acknowledge it is NOT the fault of bluemaemo.
EDIT: I'll go ahead and test on a few other distros and computers I have lying around tomorrow. I'll also test with Windows and BSD if I have the time.

Try this:
1 - In gnome-bluetooth select "always visible" and remove the tablet;
2 - Pair the tablet again;
3 - Connect the tablet with the HIDD command;
4 - Try to reconnect;
This works for me, I forgot this issue sorry

It's like this will only work when the computer initiats the tablet, not vice versa. Weird.

Hi:
I can't connect with Bluemaemo in Kubuntu 9.04
Everytime I try hidd -connect I get the message: Can't get device information: Host is down.
What can I try?
(I don't know how to delete the paired device in KBluetooth4 too, I have tried more than once).
