I've been using a little BT keyboard with my Force for a while. I mistakenly told the Force to forget the device a few days ago, and now it will not find it when I put it into pairing mode.

There's nothing else wrong with either device - they both show up /pick up other devices.

I guess I need to 'flush' the Force's BT settings so it will find the keyboard again, but I can't find a way to do that. Tried a prefs reset, which made no difference.

Any have any ideas?

Well, when it works anyway!

I know what you meant, I bet it's faster, but I've gotten pretty fast using the screen. Still wish they would add copy/paste for text and or, let us use the pads to store common names for quick pasting.

Uodate: Akai suggested a downgrade to 3.5,which worked (the keyboard showed up again and could be re-paired). The fix endured after upgrading to 3.6.

I assume this reset some kind of ignore list in the Force.

I'll just make sure I don't 'forget' the device again.
