• Android Drivers

  Android Drivers are available for the Freedom Pro Keyboard for Android Devices running 1.5/1.6 and 2.0 and above

  To install them please go to www.otadrivers.com from your Android Internet browser.

  For installation and connection instructions please download the updated Freedom Pro Keyboard User Guide from the following link - USER GUIDE.

  Please note: There is currently an issue on some HTC phones which means it is not possible to connect any keyboard to them. The problem appears to be that some HTC phones running the newer operating systems are still running old versions of the Android Bluetooth stack which is affecting the ability of these devices to connect to Bluetooth accessories.

  The effected devices are:
  HTC Hero/Eris running 1.6
  HTC Imagine.

  The Android drivers will however work well with all other manufacturers Android based phones and HTC phones without the effected Bluetooth. Updates to the above effected HTC devices may resolve the Bluetooth issue.

  If you are having issues connecting the Freedom Pro keyboard to an Android device go to the link provided which is a video demonstration on how to do this:

  Additional - Jan 2011:
  We have been receiving reports from some users that Verizon have disabled the Bluetooth support on their Android devices. It does appear that the HID support has been removed on devices like the Galaxy Tab but the SPP profile is still in place so you will still be able to use the drivers with the Freedom Pro Keyboard on your Verizon Galaxy Tab.
