I found a Viewpad 10S, nearly new, for very low price on Ebay. I had to Buy it! :)

I've tried using two different Bluetooth Keyboards, with ViewComb 3.2 and JellyBean Rom.

When WIFI is turned on together with a connected bluetooth keyboard, keys are working for a while, then
it beginns, in every aplication, that one key gets locked, and so it is not possible to use
bluetooth keyboard f.e. with surfing in a browser.

exsample:

---> google-search for xda developers
i tipe ---> xda devvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv...
---> endles "v" until i turn wifi off, or wait for a while.

can also be a number, another letter, even commands, "back" f.e.

the keyboard work, with wifi off perfect. or on other devices. my xperia mini pro f.e.

is there a chance for a solution?

P.S.

I post the Question in this forum, becuase i think, this has to do with WIFI, Bluetooth Drivers in the custom Roms

one week, no comment :(
This forum is not that active. The most action is going on at the tabletroms forum.
The only reason that you have this problem could be that wifi and bluetooth together is not a good combination. This is because of the way the tablet is constructed. It is using the same antenna for both wifi and bluetooth and there is just not enough bandwith to serve both. You will see that when you connect an bluetooth stereo headset and listen to streaming music.... It is just not possible. So i think that with your keyboard it is the same problem..

ok...

that is an answer. i will have a look on the board next days...

maybe i can find the point, where the wires of BT and WIFI come together. if so, i could try to seperate both lines and
set a second antenna, f.e from an old BT-Stick. i will have a look, if this problem is hardware-hackable...

but there is still my opinion, this problem can also be solved, by software.

the stock-rom of the pad, doesn't have this problem. i've tried it some days before. there were no problem to use
BT and WIFI, in different constulations, together.

Its a problem with frequency of Bluetooth and WiFi. They are both 2.4ghz and cause interference, not much can be done really. If Vega supports 5ghz WiFi that might be worth a shot,would require you to probably change router.
Its common issue with most devices (my nexus 7 and Vega too).

sounds interresting!

at the moment i use viewcomb...last version...

sometimes i try the one ore the other tweak...but am not so familiar with linux. so i have to wait, if a pro
will have a serious look on this problem.

not beeing able to use BT and WIFI together takes many options of device away :(
