I am actually typing this on a Microsoft Universal Foldable Keyboard connected to my M10 tablet. Device: Bq Aquaris M10 OS: OTA-10.1 Generally bluetooth devices that are not version 4 or bluetooth smart (BLE) seem to work and pair fine with the Aquaris E4.5 and the M10. However, when it comes to BLE/version 4, things obviously get too complicated for the system bluetooth settings because it doesn't even manage to discover these devices. OTA-10.1 uses Bluez version 5.37, which is perfectly capable of discovering and pairing with BLE devices, but in Ubuntu Touch it requires the use of "bluetoothctl" in the terminal. I will describe the steps needed below: phablet@ubuntu-phablet:-$ bluetoothctl [bluetooth]# scan on wait for device to show up in list, typically: [NEW] Device 01:02:FF:A8:BB:00 DeviceName [bluetooth]# discoverable on Changing discoverable on succeeded [bluetooth]# agent on Agent registered [bluetooth]# default-agent Default agent request successful [bluetooth]# pairable on Changing pairable on succeeded Now tell bluetoothctl to pair the device [bluetooth]# pair 01:02:FF:A8:BB:00 Attempting to pair with 01:02:FF:A8:BB:00 If pairing with MS Universal Foldable Keyboard, you will probably see a 6-digit code, punch that code on the keyboard and hit return. [CHG] Device 01:02:FF:A8:BB:00 Connected: yes [agent] Passkey: 123456 You should be good to go. However, the MS Foldable Keyboard does not show up in system bluetooth settings (see attached screenshot) and getting the M10 to recognize that the Keyboard is turned off seems to require a reboot (and possibly also bluetooth turned off). Otherwise, the onscreen keyboard doesn't show up.
