PreCentral: Pair the HP Wireless keyboard to a TouchPad


Recommended Posts

This tip is only for those using a TouchPad and the official HP TouchPad Wireless Keyboard

Pair HP wireless keyboardWhile you can use just about any Bluetooth keyboard with your TouchPad, there are a lot of benefits of using the official HP TouchPad Wireless Keyboard that was released alongside the tablet. In addition to some unique webOS keys on the device that will improve your webOS experience, the process of actually pairing the device is incredibly easy and will take only a matter of seconds to complete.

To pair your keyboard with your TouchPad:

  1. Ensure that your Bluetooth keyboard is turned off before you start (with the keyboard laying face down, the power button on the back should be pushed to the left)
    •  This is important since the keyboard will only try to pair to a device for 1 minute after it's turned on
  2. link hidden, please login to view
    from the top-right corner of the TouchPad's screen to bring up the Device menu and choose Bluetooth, then Bluetooth Preferences
  3. If Bluetooth is not already turned on, toggle the ON/OFF switch to turn it on
  4. Press the "+ Add Device" and then select "Keyboard" from the "TYPE" dropdown list
  5. Turn your Bluetooth keyboard on (with the keyboard laying face down, the power button on the back should be pushed to the right)
  6. The TouchPad should search for the device and find it within a few seconds
  7. Tap "HP TouchPad Wireless Keyboard" under the FOUND DEVICES section and you are done

Congrats, your keyboard has now been paired to the TouchPad for you to use. Note that after a short period of inactivity, the keyboard will power down and disconnect from the TouchPad. However, you just need to tap any key on the keyboard and it should automatically reconnect, as long as the TouchPad's Bluetooth is turned on

      I updated the software on this LG TV and now no option to turn off WiFi
      I need to the WiFi to turn off since they do not want WiFi connected here. I hope there is a way to turn off WiFi.

      Hi
      I have a LG 65NANO80VPA which works perfectly overall.
       
      The only issue is that when I connect bluetooth headphones or earphones, the audio is initially perfect but after a minute or two it starts distorting. If I disconnect and reconnect the bluetooth device, the sound goes back to being perfect, but only briefly before developing scratchy distortion as before. I have found this to be the case with Sony XM5 headphones as well as Samsung Galaxy Buds Live.
      I have tried various audio settings on the head/earphones and on the TV and nothing fixes it.
      When I connect a UE Boom 3 bluetooth speaker to the TV, it works flawlessly with no distortion.
      I thought it might be my TV unit that has a problem. I went to a local retailer who has a LG ultra short throw laser projector on display (Cinebeam HU715Q). I took my own head and earphones with and connected to the projector and had exactly the same audio distortion issue, identical to my TV.
       
      This leads me to think it is some compatibility issue between the LG WebOS software and bluetooth earphones/headphones?
      I have searched the web and couldn't find any complaints about the same problem.
      A friend has an older LG TV with an old WebOS version and that TV doesn't give the same bluetooth distortion with my audio devices.
      This issue is a dealbreaker for me and I am looking at getting a different brand of TV as a result, unless someone can come up with a solution?
      Thanks

      Thx
