I have winxp and using the n900 i cant connect.

cant connect from n900 to pc nor the other way around.

i removed the n900 listed in the bluetooth places and searched again for devices and it did find a n900 phone as mouse pointer/keyboard but it wont connect.

How to make this work?

dont know how but finally got it working.

Let me start by saying this is a great app. I love not having to get out of bed to find the mouse when watching movies on my PC :-)

Could I ask that when you close this app down that BlueMaemo turns off you Bluetooth if it turned it on?

I always assume it does this then release a few hours later my BT is still on.

Thanks
Chris

Thanks VDVsx for this software!
I was just wondering before installing, is bluemaemo and all the efl libs optified? :-)

cheers!

BlueMaemo restores the state that the BT adapter has when you start the app, i.e if BT is on nothing happens, if is off then BlueMaemo turn it off again when you exit.

BlueMaemo is, the efl libs no.

Someone found a workaround for the hardware keyboard bug in canola, same bug affecting BlueMaemo: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6511#c4

Works with Pr1.1, not sure if also works with the current public firmware, but should work

bluemaemo wont start on my n900, does anyone else have this problem or have any idea how to fix it

Maybe this bug is affecting you: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7510

Worksforme: Remove the pairing in booth devices and rename the BT device using the apostrophe in the name (e.g. User laptop)

Got it working with my N900 and my Asus W90 laptop.

Took 20 minutes of trial & error to get the devices to connect together properly.

Firstly I am using a new instlal of Windows 7 x64 so I have the stock windows bluetooth drivers and they suck. Upon first pairing it said it didnt have half the drivers it needed and directed me to broadcoms site to get the drivers. Broadcom bluetooth drivers also suck.

However after getting the drivers I could pair without driver errors, thing is using the "recive" connection mod it never got past that so I had to establish the connection from the N900 to the laptop.

It worked but it paired as an A2DP device or something instead of a HID device so I could use my laptop speakers to listen to music from the N900 and take calls.

I had too remove the device and try again and it paired as the HID keyboard/mouse device and it seems to work flawlessly.

I used to carry a nintendo wimmote with me to do cool tricks on my laptop and presentations, today I have a meeting and plan to use the N900 and bluemamemo instead, the wiimote has all the motion sensors and accelerometers allowing for nifty coding like tilt the controller to raise volume, cant do that on the N900 but you could use the accelerometer to add "flick" to the media controls as a extra bind, so you can "flick" the N900 to have a function (probably change to a random track is what I would use)

I think I read the hardware keyboard is supposed to work? but it didnt for me I had to use the on screen keyboard, not a big deal right now still works great without it, but when it is working that will be even better. You can use mouse mode and type on the hardware keyboard to speed things up a bit. note: I did try to use the hardware keyboard on keyboard mode not just mouse mode.

To anybody having problems, as a former wiimote hacker guy i can tell you the Toshiba or the Bluesoleil bluetooth stacks are the two to use they work so much better than the broadcom/microsoft stuff.

I never even got the wiimote to work correctly under broadcom, so the fact I got the bluemaemo working is a plus.
