Mini Bluetooth Keyboard – Black[ID:3601]

Post by icad »

Is this mini Bluetooth keyboard functional? I can't get it to work with my Schok classic flip phone or my LG classic flip phone. On my Schok phone, it can connect but can't type. On my LG phone, it doesn't even show up in the Bluetooth settings. Any help would be appreciated.

Give it a try with one of your desktop machines to confirm functionality.

The product page mentions mobile OS support:
Google Android OS
Windows Mobile (6.0 & later) OS
Nokia Symbian S60 (V3.0 & later) OS
iPhone 4.0 OS & later

Thank you for trying your PC and verifying the Bluetooth Mini Keyboard is in good working order.

I would expect this keyboard to pair with your phone based on the specs you provided.

Android might have some unusual menus for setup. Maybe start here:

Thanks for helping. I have tried that link... But my phone has its settings set up in a different format... When I click the "Use for" button - the only option that comes up is to enable/disable contact sharing. There is no "Text Input" option.

By the way - I have connected other Bluetooth devices to my phone, for example my Airpod Pros and they work perfectly fine.

This keyboard is probably not compatible with your flip phone.

If you would like to return it you can contact [email protected] and provide them with this forum link and order#.
