Connecting to BT keyboard is not working from AUX menu

[vladare]

Hello,

I am tried to connect to my BT keyboard over AUX menu but it is not working.

After using this commands the keyboard works very well.
hcitool scan
hidd --connect XXXXXXXXXXX

Ack'd.
I'm not sure how we should fix that: we may not want to connect every bluetooth device.

john, how do you use to connect your keyboard ?
I read that you first need to run echo "$REMOTE_BT_DEVICE_ID $PINCODE" > /var/lib/bluetooth/$LOCAL_BT_DEVICE_ID/pincodes but after that, does the keyboard automatically connect the next times ?

I think after user will select the AUX menu "BT keyboard" the next menu "Scan for BT devices" has to be appeared on the screen. User will select the appropriate BT device (keyboard) and put PIN. This PIN and BT keyboard has to be saved in user config file and will be used next time.

Another one issue. lsusb shows that I have BT device but "hcitool scan" executed from hackable user produced next output:
Device is not available: No such device

I am able to see my BT keyboard online using Nokia N80.

At this moment I resolved my issue with BT keyboard to add the strings below to file /etc/default/bluetooth

HIDD_ENABLED=1
HIDD_OPTIONS="--connect XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX --server"

It works very well.
