I was wondering if it's possible to connect a bluetooth or USB mouse and keyboard to a Galaxy Nexus and also connect it to an HDMI monitor/TV.
The bigger question is if you can use the GNex with a WebTop-style interface, like Motorola does with their new phones.
I am looking to buy a 3G or 4G USB dongle to use with the Surface RT...
Can anyone confirm if they have a 3G or 4G USB dongle working with their Surface RT?
Can you confirm Dongle modle number as well please?
I am interested in this as well. AT&T LTE specifically.

I bought this specifically for my Surface and it doesn't work. I'm hanging on to it just in case I decide to get a Surface Pro later on...

The ones that will work are those with NDIS 6.3
Anyone happen to have the Sierra Wireless AirCard 313U to test out on a Surface?
Google for Netzero4g 4G hotspot. I think that so far that type of device are going to be the only option.
My Clearspot works well.
I really need an AT&T solution. Anyone test anything? I am tethering via my iPhone 5 right now, but want to get away from that.
Why not look into the "mobile hotspot" type devices as opposed to a USB dongle. All of them will be compatible being that you only connect to it via WiFi. Much more convenient since you don't have to plug it in to anything.

I am tethering via wifihotspot off my Android phone - Verizon. Only thing is in Hotspot mode it kills my battery on my phone, and wifi speed is a bit slow.
I am thinking of getting a Bluetooth keyboard, and maybe mouse for my galaxy s blaze. I know that it is very impractical, but I have a reason to get a keyboard and mouse for a device with a screen that big.
I have a few questions though. I have heard a lot about Bluetooth keyboard/mouses on tablets, and I haven't heard about them so much on phones. So will I be able to use them on my Galaxy S Blaze? Seconds I am wondering if it would be able to connect to both a keyboard and a mouse at the same time, or is it only capable of connecting to one Bluetooth device. And third I am wondering if any keyboard/mouse will work, and if there are any particularly good ones out there.
I am using CyanogenMod 10.0.0-t769 on my Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G.
I looked at threads for other phones with Bluetooth mouses/keyboards, but I found none for the Blaze.

I know for sure the BT keyboards will work with our phone, I have used a friend's mini BT keyboard he had for his ipad. As far as the mouse I haven't tried that in a few versions. I think the last time I tried a mouse was on GB and on my myTouch 4g. I was not a good experience. It was not a free moving mouse like you use on the computer but like the scrolling ball on the phones. It only went in the up/down and left/right positions. It might be different now but I'm not sure. I'm waiting on an OTG cable but it prolly wont be here for a few weeks (damn hong kong shippers) though they are cheap if you want to test them.

Ok, thanks, getting the mouse would really be pointless anyways because of the small screen. But you think any bluetooth keyboard would work? Would you recommend any particular one? Because I really don't have much experience with keyboards, I just always use the one on my laptop, and I wouldn't know what you really would want for a bluetooth keyboard.
You can go with something small like this: http://www.amazon.com/Fosmon-Blueto...965721&sr=1-15&keywords=4"+bluetooth+keyboard or go with one of those flexible roll up keyboards like this: http://www.amazon.com/Flexible-Wire...0&sr=1-9&keywords=flexible+bluetooth+keyboard
You can always get an OTG cable for like a dollar or two and hook a usb hub up and use a wireless keyboard/mouse combo too. I'm interested to mess with usb host with this phone. I just got a few flash drives I wanna play with.
I have a Samsung Infuse, screen broke, don't want to thorw a way, is there a way that I can turn into something a TV Dongle. I would like to use the benifits of its wifi as well. Is it possible or a ROM available that would allow me to connect via my USB port on my TV?
if the phone has usb otg get a hdmi adapter for it then you could plug it in the tv.
Click thanks if helped
what I want is to give it the capabilties of a TV Dongle. The touch pad is broke non responsive. It just seems like a waste of hardware. The TV dongles are basically a Smart Phone (omit the phone). Is there anyway to make this work. A custome ROM maybe that kills the phone but makes use of all else?
HI all,
I've been realizing lately that my Nexus 5 does just about everything I need anymore. I hardly ever need a PC for anything except for the full size monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
Now, I think I can use USB OTG and connect a Mouse and keyboard. But, is there a way to connect an external monitor as well?
I see that there is a Docking station for Samsung Galaxy phones that seem to do what I'm asking, here:
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EDD-S20JWEGSTA
I've googled but cannot figure out if there is anything out there that would work for my Nexus 5. Does anyone have any suggestions?
externally powered USB hub. I used my friends once, had a hdmi output also and it worked flawlessly. (and by externally powered, i mean one that draws power from an outlet, not the phone itself)

Best bet is Bluetooth keyboard/mouse and use a HDMI out dongle and plug the phone into a wall outlet.

Now that sounds like a good idea.
Are you sure I can connect a keyboard and mouse over Bluetooth at the same time?

One way to find out... could also just get a keyboard with built in mouse like this or find one of these.
For android 4.4.2 and up use Chromecast for video& audio with HDMI monitor with speakers and Bluetooth for keyboard and mouse. Need sw app Andromium OS and/or Kodi too.
