hi,
I just have bought a Gametel Gamepad bluetooth for my HTC HD2 but i want to use it on windows mobile. Gamepad is reconize on bluetooth but i can't configure it. :crying:
Someone know if there's a driver for this pad or a compatibility driver.
Thnks
i have accomplished to pair the controller with windows mobile and it reconize juste like a bluetooth keyboard but now what sould i do ?
Use it : most old games used the arrows and Enter key. :laugh:
I suppose you'll have to select your emulated keyboard as the default one.
Just open any app using a keyboard (such as Notes), then press the right border on the keyboard icon to select another default keyboard.
If you do can't find it in the list, then long press the left border on the keyboard icon, in case it would appear there instead.

Uh, no, my man... it doesn't quite work that way. The Gametel adapter is mapped to the same keys as the Sony Ericsson Play device. Simply because it is in 'keyboard mode' do not assume that it will play games in the way you have described -- it will not. I still do not know of a practical use for the Gametel adapter on a Windows Phone (other than to make a Lumia look purposeful)... and Fructel will tell you the same thing. Games generally have to be made compatible for the Gametel / Sony Play mapping.
Windows Phone ? This is a Windows Mobile section...
Windows Phone 7 and above are completely different stuff and I can't help you there...

Recently I've been getting into some gaming (particularly NES/SNES emulation) on my PPC. I'll be buying a PPC Phone Edition soon and was wondering if anyone can tell me whether the slide-out QWERTY keyboard of some models such as the TyTN/Herald could be used for gaming purposes (or do they only work for text entry)?
They are useable by ANY program aslong as it is coded for
Unfortunatly my experience of SNES emulation was that on my TyTN (Hermes) the gamepad was the touchscreen, and half the screen was taken up with the GUI for it.
But this thread cropped up a while ago and i think a version using the keyboard is on the cards.
Thanks for the quick reply mrvanx. I was originally thinking that we could have a real landscape screen with a full QWERTY keyboard for the emulation - similar to how it is on a desktop PC now. That would add a whole new dimension to PPC gaming. It would help immensely with other emulators such as FPSEce as well. It seems from the thread that the emulator in question would need to specially detect the keyboard - and that you couldn't just assign a key on the keyboard to an action in the emulator (as you would a normal softkey).
Now can someone tell me if it is technically possible to write a program that runs in the background, which simulates softkeys? For example, the program could do something like this:
create Fake softkey 1 = 'a' on keyboard
create Fake softkey 2 = 'b' on keyboard
etc.
and then feed "Fake softkey 1", "Fake softkey 2", etc. to the emulator (specify Fake softkey 1 as the X button, etc.)? That way, it should work for most games without them needing special reprogramming for slide-out QWERTY keyboards - and you can have let's say 10 fake softkeys (much more softkeys than you physically have on your device).
Just a thought...
I just loaded ScummVM on my HD2, but it tells me I have to map buttons. For the life of me, I can't bring up the virtual keyboard. Does anyone know how this works?
It needs you to map things to physical buttons on the device not to the virtual keyboard - i usually only need to map the right click action and the button to show / hide the scummvm keyboard / interface..
The pop up will say something like 'Map Right click' you need to scroll down the list and select right click then press the physical button youd like to map.
Hope this helps!
Cheers

Hey everyone,
This may be a bit of an off question as it applies to all android phones not ust the one s but here goes....
I just picked up an iHome Bluetooth Keyboard, designed for the ipad. Connected with ease to my one S and I am currently using it to type out this post. Works fantastic. No lag to speak of and the keys are really nice. One drawback, it is designed for Ipad lol. Sooooo the question here is whether or not it is possible to remap the keys on the keyboard to perform funtions on Android. I.e. map the function buttons to quicklaunch apps or to use the arrow keys to roll around the UI as I have not yet picked up a mouse. the arrow keys work in certain apps like the text message app or the browser. keyboard is a dream for emulation, takes me back to my early pc no gamepad emulation days lol. anyways, if anyone has some input on the subject i would love to hear it. Thanks in advance to your helpful replies. Love this community!!!

Hi,
I've managed to remap some hotkeys by opening up the terminal emulator (which you can download here) and inserting the string "am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.quicklaunch.QuickLaunchSettings" without quotes (thanks to norristh for this). This way you can map each search+letter shortcut and, IN MY KEYBOARD, hotkeys are nothing but a search+letter combination (I mean, if you change the search+letter behaviour you also change the hotkey behaviour).
The only hotkeys I haven't been able to get working are the apps key and the mute key (they aren't probably integrated natively in android).
Try it out!
i bought an ihome bluetooth wireless keyboard and i am unable to pair it with my inspire4g. i need some help please. i try to type ''0000'' and ''1234'' with no luck. what am i missing. it's a race to get this done because my girlfriend wants me to take it back, but i know it will work.

I try to find a virtual keyboard to play Aion on my PC all the remote Mouse/Keyboard app I find use pre made keyboard and I can't personalize them. The only one I find is Air HID but it's hard for me to create a good looking keyboard with symmetrical touch button. Is there another one with more easy keyboard creation?
Thanks for your help,
DracoMoye
I just made a crude keyboard in Air HID but I can't use multiple button at the same time so I can move forward and turn at the same time. I'm back to find a remote keyboard/mouse app?
I fast draw of the interface I wish to have
http://postimg.org/image/6f5tcsgff/
Game pad that use wasd, touch mouse and button, mouse 2 toggle hold unhold, all the competence slot and configurable button for menu and other shortcut.
That can be use with all the other mmorpg that use similar interface.

just wondering if anybody have tried this mouse. I'm looking for a $20 - 30 mouse that would work good. I've read that some mouse are laggy/slow on pixel c. I have a logitech k480 keyboard and was thinking of pairing a mouse would be nice since I use google sheets and remote to computers (via vmware horizon client) a lot.
I've been using my pretty old Logitech Bluetooth mouse from about 5 years ago without any issue on the pixel c. Can't remember the model number (I think that stuff has all come off it now).
Thanks brown geek!
I was using a Logitech T630 and now use a Logitech MX Anywhere 2 - both work just fine. I notice you mention Horizon Client - one thing to keep in mind with the Pixel is that if you are using the hardware keyboard, hitting the key to bring up the symbols panel does not work. Windows just treats it like an Alt key. If you need to send a special symbol, you need to use the field in the Horizon client that allows you compose a string of text and then send it to the VM - that way, you are allowed to bring up the symbols pane. Not a huge deal if you don't need a lot of symbols, but a mild annoyance.

I'm using a microsoft M3600 mouse. It's a very good mouse.
It was not supported correctly by android 6.0 some weeks ago, so I reported the issue : it's still not working with 6.0 build but this mouse is now working perfectly on android N (google fixed the issue on N recently).
I suppose the fix should be in the next build of 6.0 too .

This mouse is very light and the autonomy is very good as it's a LE mouse, the tracking is also very precise.
Just tried the Pixel with a Magic mouse 2 from work. Running latest Android N preview.
I have never used a mouse previous to this on android so here's what I found.
Mouse just adds pointer, no gestures, just as if you were using your finger, cant even scroll.
Looking at youtube videos suggests the scroll should work (Magic mouse 1 on older android OS) so I will test this with my aging S4 to see how it responds.
---------- Post added at 08:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 AM ----------
Ok so my S4 behaves the same with the added support for a right click it seems which acts as a back button.
I assume there is not a lot that can be done about and I just need to see what the full Android N release may support.
I'm using the Logitech T630. It has a touch surface with gesture support.
Has anyone used a USB hub and plugged in a wired mouse? Wondering if I could do that with a mouse I already have rather than buy a Bluetooth mouse.

How well does the gesture support work?
Can you swipe to move between home screens and scroll in browsers etc?
Just interested as I ran a input logging app and only the general movement and left and right click seem to suggest they were sending data from the Magic Mouse 2.
Cheers,

I just got this mouse as well. There is no physical scrolling wheel, but you can move your fingers forwards and backwards anywhere on the mouse to scroll vertically and swipe left and right on the mouse to switch pages in your launcher. (It won't take you back from Google Now to your homescreen in the Google Launcher for some reason, but you can accomplish it with a click-and-drag) The scrolling is very responsive and works well, although Nougat does not give you a whole lot of options for adjusting things such as scrolling speed, only tracking speed. There may be third party apps for this, though.
I've seen other mention that right clicking functions as a back button for them, but this has been very app-dependant for me.
