can't pair bluetooth keyboard, phone doesn't show code.

[Hugo Venhorst]

1) Device: Meizu MX4 Ubuntu Edition
     OS: Ubuntu 15.04 (r68) - armhf (20150724-020304)
2) Bluez version 4.101-0ubuntu25
     indicator-bluetooth version 0.0.6+14.10.20141006-0ubuntu1

3) When trying to connect a bluetooth keyboard (SilverCrest SBT 3.0 A1), pairing doesn't follow correct procedure.
On other devices (Android 5.1.1 on Nexus 10; Ubuntu 15.04 on BTO laptop) a 6 digit number is displayed, which needs to be typed on the Bluetooth keyboard, followed by pressing [Enter].

4) On Ubuntu touch, a dialogue appears asking to enter a 4 digit PIN on the phone. Default is '0000' and at first the phone says the device is connected, but the phone does not respond to any input from the keyboard. After some time the phone indicates the device is not connected.

All of this is similarly described in this askubuntu article: http://askubuntu.com/questions/625533/how-to-pair-external-bluetooth-keyboard-to-ubuntu-touch-bq-phone, which has not received any answers as of yet.

I am willing to follow instructions and report back results. i have adb shell installed on my laptop, and Terminal app installed on the phone. Developer mode is on.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I've got a Logitech K810 keyboard but unlike in this bug, no PIN prompt will be shown, it will appear in the connected devices, but the connectivity lights will keep flashing and keypresses will not do anything. Do you think this is a separate issue?

Same bug as described by Hugo, Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu edition and Logik bluetooth keyboard(LKBUBT13)

Affects me too with MS BT mobile keyboard 5000.

Same issue with E4.5 and Apple wireless keyboard.

[Yaron Kantor (ykantor)]

Same issue with Aquaris E5, laser projection keyboard KB580. No PIN.

Keyboard is not even shown in bluetooth devices. Works well with Android and iMac though.

This bug also affects me, BQ Aquaris 4.5. Ubuntu 15.04 r26. Keyboard Silvercrest STBD 6 A1

So looking forwards to the days when integral hardware keyboards become the vogue again; I hate virtual keyboards!

Same here phone bq aq 4.5 15.04 (r26) and a Rapoo E6100 Bluetooth keyboard. I also get the 0000 and the connection fails after some time with no response to keyboard use.
