[Q] Apple Wireless Keyboard

[preymond]

Hey everyone, i posted this at android central with no answer, though to see if you guys had any suggestions.

Just purchased an apple wireless keyboard to pair with my rooted (super clean + stupid fast kernel) fascinate. I've been looking around and saw that JP Bluekeyboard supports the apple wireless keyboard, so i gave it a shot..

well what do you know, it didn't work for me, everything on how to set it up goes great except that when i try and input, it goes "connecting" and straight to "disconnected".

anyone have any luck with this software or know of any other bluetooth keyboard applications?

I don't know about the Apple Keyboard, but I was trying to get my wiimote to connect to my phone and found out that our phone doesn't support some bluetooth profile that is required for it to work. It might be the same deal with the keyboard.

Bluetooth HID Profile

I did the same exact thing and after researching found that the bluetooth stack in the galaxy s series is a little different in that it doesn't include HID profile support aka no support for the wiimote or the apple blue tooth keyboard. Apparently they are looking to add this with the froyo update, but for me it couldn't come sooner.

yeah, i remember reading something saying cyanogenmod would enable HID, and of course cyanogenmod is based for froyo, and they don't seem to be willing to start working on something for the fascinate until froyo comes out...

so lets hope froyo makes this purchase not completely useless..

HURRY UP FROYO!

The apple keyboard and the Wii mote will work with froyo, I had no problem using the keyboard on my Dx before I sent it back.

I wasn't able to get it to work either.

It was on-and-off again with my Windows PC. I found that the Apple USB keyboard is perfect for Windows. My wife bought me the Apple Bluetooth keyboard instead last Christmas, but it, sadly, doesn't work on anything that I own.

I definitely want to know if any of y'all get it to work. I was planning to keep trying, but based on the information here, it appears that my time would be better used somewhere else for now.
