Selfie Stick - Bluetooth HID Device on Windows Phone 8.1

Question

I am trying to get a "Selfie stick" to work with Windows Phone 8.1. The Selfie stick is a HID device and is used as a keyboard, when the shutter button is pressed on the stick, it sends the Enter key to the connected device.

So far, the problem with logic is that when I try to connect it to my phone, it remains connected for about 5-10 seconds and then disconnects.

I am new to bluetooth encoding and I read that some bluetooth profiles are not supported, is this true for HID keyboards too?

Thank you Peter Larsson

Since this is a keyboard, just handle keyboard events such as KeyDown and check if it is Enter. No need to deal with Bluetooth yourself.
