=== update === with the Galaxy S phone as well. Same instructions.
I've got 2 Bluetooth keyboards: an Apple and an iGo Stowaway. I used the Stowaway.
- Turn on Bluetooth on the Galaxy Tab
- Go into Settings > Wireless and Network > Bluetooth Settings
- Make the Stowaway Discoverable:
Press theCtrl and Fn keys together until the green LED (above the key) flashes once per second. - Press 'scan devices'
and it should find your keyboard. - Enter the numbers shown, by holding down the Blue (Left) Fn key and the appropriate keys. When you've done the 8 digits, with the Blue FN key held down press the Enter key. You MUST hold down the Blue FN key for the keycode to be accepted.
- And then you're paired
- So we'll start a App and do some typing!
A really cool thing is that once you've got started, you can press the back button on the Galaxy Tab, and this removes the on-screen keyboard - more real estate. - Next for a mouse. Go through the same stages to get to scanning for devices, make your mouse discoverable, on the Logitech bluetooth mouse I have you press the button on the bottom, and follow the on-screen instructions.
- This gives you a cursor, which you can move around, selecting and clicking just like a regular laptop.
Left click selects or launches and App, and right click is like pressing the back button.

ReplyDeletenot long to do the screen shots. I connect the Galaxy Tab, to USB and use DDMS from the SDK. Takes only a few seconds.

Samsung released a Wifi version of their Tab so does it also support BT keyboard/mouse?
ReplyDeleteif it still has Bluetooth, then yes you would be good to go.
ReplyDeleteBluetooth keyboard worked fine but mouse only connected once and cannot seem to reconnect even though Samsung Galaxy Tab says it's paired - it ain't connected!
ReplyDeleteHave tried all forms of on/off - make visible - new mouse batteries - and so forth.
I just paired my tab with a motorola blue tooth so I can use it as a phone, and stream slacker or pandora through my car speakers. Everything paired fine, it works great as a phone, but pandora and slacker cut out every 45 seconds or so for about 2 seconds. Very annoying. Any ideas?
ReplyDeletesounds like maybe its a caching issue ie BT pulls X amount of data, it plays, runs aout, and fetches some more
ReplyDeletePlease help ... I couldn't pair Samsung GT (WiFi only) with Apple wireless keyboard.
ReplyDeleteMy Samsung GT could find the wireless keyboard, then ask me to enter PIN as --- to pair with "Apple Wireless Keyboard"(Try 0000 or 1234). When I input the number to my tablet, it return not connected.
Thanks
