How to connect a bluetooth keyboard to your phone

Few people know that a large number of accessories are developed for smartphones every year. And keyboards too. Those users who do not often use input of a large number of texts can easily get by using a simple sensor. But what to do if every day you have to take notes or write down your ideas in large formats? There is an exit. In addition to the fact that there are USB keyboards, there are a large number of devices with wireless connections. We will talk about their design, possible problems and fine-tuning details.

Connecting a bluetooth keyboard to your phone

If the user has already chosen a wireless keyboard, he should resort to a simple method of connecting a Bluetooth device. This manual is perfect for all types of devices.

1. Initially, you should turn on the keyboard. If the device is working, its indicator will definitely light up.
2. Next, you should turn on Bluetooth on your tablet or smartphone with the Android operating system.
3. Afterwards we enable the system for detecting devices on the keyboard. The manufacturer's instructions usually describe a simple combination or inclusion method.
4. We find our device in the Bluetooth list and connect. Usually the password is written, which is indicated in the box from the manufacturer, or on the back of the device.Password entry is made only through the screen sensor.
5. Then you can safely use our device.

Depending on the phone model

If your smartphone does not have Bluetooth functionality (which is quite unlikely), you can try connecting the device in another way. Connecting via wire does not require any special settings. You just need to find out if your phone has this function.

You need to check if your phone has cable debugging functionality. Typically, such debugging is done via a USB OTG drive. Its cost usually does not exceed a couple of hundred rubles. You can find it in any electronics store or through an online store.

After such a drive has been purchased, you just need to connect it to our smartphone. The device will automatically turn on if the connection is successful.

If this does not happen, most likely the problem is in your smartphone, which does not have this functionality.

What difficulties may arise when connecting?

Connection problems the user may encounter:

• with the device being unsuitable for operation;
• with a damaged Bluetooth module;
• with the absence of USB Host mode in the mobile phone;
• with incorrect layout;
• with slow data entry speed;

Except for the last case, all shortcomings can be easily eliminated by taking the device or smartphone to a service center.

Troubleshooting

When the device does not display data input correctly, or does not respond correctly to touch or even lags, you must use the following program. External Keyboard Helper Pro is a great assistant for debugging keyboard devices on the Android operating system.

Attention! In this program, users can set any keyboard shortcuts that are familiar to them when used on a standard keyboard.

To edit the layout:

1. Install this program.
2. Go to “Language and input”, on the standard phone settings.
3. Set this application to “Default” settings.
4. In the program itself, click on the “Russian language” button and go to “Full settings”.
5. In "Keyboard Layout" you should edit the selected template to use. There you can set all the usual keyboard shortcuts.
6. To edit one of the keys or some combination, click “Add value”. After this, a specific action value is entered on the keyboard.

In addition, the program allows you to set certain combinations that allow you to turn on or swap applications when you press one of the buttons.
