View with Motorola Bluetooth Kb..

---

hey guys, so i just got the motorola xoom full size bluetooth keyboard today, adn i wanna pair it with my view. i read on here that people only got it working by pairing it in PC mode, which takes away functionality of some buttons. anyone have any way to pair this thing through the true android way?

basically, when i pair, a dialogue comes up with numbers to put in on the kb then hit enter, but the dialogue goes away after 1 second, and thats not enough time to do anything...it just won't stay up. anyone else have any luck with this?

ALSO, when you type, it still uses auto correct from my keyboard..which is pretty annoying. how do you bypass the software keyboard 100% when your hardware is hooked up? thanks!

AHHH!!!! I thought that was just me!!! I bought mine used from Amazon marketplace, so when I saw the pairing issues, I thought it was just defective and that was why they were selling it used. But then I paired it in PC-mode and it worked, so I thought the pairing issues were just a fluke. Hah! Good to see it wasn't just me! Awesome!

As for your question about the View still using auto-correct, I haven't experienced that at all. However, I use Swype as my default keyboard. Perhaps it is an issue with the default keyboard (or whichever one you're using). Try switching Input Methods to a different keyboard?

And to your point about the Android-specific buttons not working because we had to pair in PC mode --- ahhhhhh, no wonder! I just thought it was because those buttons worked ONLY for the Xoom. I paid no attention to it after the first day and I'm happy with my purchase even without the Android keys working, because a) all the other keys work just fine, b) I can type infinitely faster with the full keyboard, and c) I got a great deal on it since I got it used. But it would be nice to have them working.

Anyone else have any idea about how to fix the the Android-specific buttons or pairing without using PC mode?

cool! glad others are doing what i'm doing haha...and yeah, it stopped auto correcting for a bit...then somehow turned itself back on..grr

What on-screen keyboard is set to your default?
