Type2Phone and IOS 8.0.2
Hello, I have recently acquired an iPhone 5S which is now running IOS 8.0.2. I also have an iPhone 3GS running the latest IOS 6. On the 3GS I found it very handy to use type2Phone on my iMac to emulate a bluetooth keyboard for entering passwords and the like on the iPhone. With their mixtures of characters, numbers, cases and symbols these are rather tricky to enter using the iPhone virtual keyboard. to my dismay type2Phone does not work with the iPhone 5S. Pressing the cursor left and right keys moves between fields on the iPhone but typing letters or numbers does not do anything on the iPhone. I have keyboard and numpad and trackpad commanders turned on and quicknav turned off. I tried turning numpad commander off but that made no difference. Presumably these problems are related to the other posts on IOS 8 and bluetooth keyboard issues. Are there any workarounds to this problem? Many thanks.

Re: Type2Phone and IOS 8.0.2
Hi all My guess is since Type2Phone emulates a bluetooth keyboards the same bugs that affect physical bluetooth keyboards will also occur with emulations such as this app. Sent from my laptop On 28/09/2014 11:41, Paul Hopewell wrote: Hello, I have recently acquired an iPhone 5S which is now running IOS 8.0.2.

Re: Type2Phone and IOS 8.0.2
No but I am fully aware of the numerous bluetooth keyboard bugs present in the initial iOS 8 release with a small bug fix in 8.0.2. I was going to do some testing after hearing about it but didn't find the time to do so. I can do it this week though if you like.
