I'm very happy with my new (old) N900. I'm using it as my daily phone! And this in the year 2018! Thanks to this great forum!

Now I'v got a Nokia bluetooth Keyboard SU-8W. Well, it is paired to the phone. Bluetooth-menu shows the correct keyboard-name. But it seems to be no connection. It's not possible to write anything.

I've read something about problems with the keyboard here in the forum, but I've got no solution.

I thought, the keyboard runs "out of the box"...? My N900 runs with the latest Fremantle CSSU.

Any ideas?

Thank you very much!

Unfortunately Nokia SU-8W hardly ever runs out of the box, although might have with Belle FP2 devices. You might like to start with this resource:

Don't know whether bt hid scripts still exist in extras-level repos as referred to in this thread:

Keep us posted how you get on as might get around to dusting off N900 + SU-8W

My solution is:

Now it works. It's nice!

Though there are some problems: The "Main Keys" are running fine. But I don't find Key-settings for "!" or "?" for example. I choose "Generic 105-key (Intl) PC" as layout. I don't know if there's a better layout for the su-8w.

Edit: "!" and "?" now works. But itīs really difficult to find the correct signs. It would be very helpful to get a su-8w layout for extkbd.
