[Q] mini bluetooth keyboard

Is anyone tried mini bluetooth keyboard from ebay its so confusing that it would work or wouldn't. I asked some sellers some say it will work some will not work, one one seller posting says it would not work with Android 2.2 Any input on this issue I appreciated.

I don't think it will work with our phones. From what I understand, we have BT 2.1 but HID enabled BT is 3.0 at least.

No, the problem is just that Android doesn't have proper drivers for HID. I've been using bluetooth keyboards forever on my old Windows Mobile devices, so I know it's not a problem with bluetooth version. More importantly, no bluetooth keyboard would even benefit from the BT 3.0 spec - 2.1 is just fine. This is true (as far as I know) for all Android devices, except maybe for the Galaxy Tab, where Samsung may have taken time to make bluetooth HID drivers. Not 100% sure on this, but last I saw, Android doesn't natively support bluetooth HID.
It's a shame too - these large screened, high-res devices (especially the EVO with it's built in kickstand) would make great note taking, IM/email devices when paired with a portable keyboard. Would be a great notebook/netbook replacement and/or supplement.

So buying me one of those mini bluetooth keyboard is not gonna do any good for me, some vendors saying specifically android on their title, and one vendor responded that yes epic and evo will work, or its just a scam.

There's a company that sells a thirdparty app to use Bluetooth SPP profile keyboards on most Android phones, but most new Bluetooth keyboards only do HID. HID should work on the Epic when CM6 is ready, but it's unlikely to ever work on an Epic w/stock ROM.

[Q] TV out

Has anyone been able to get the 3.5 mm to RCA adapter to work with the infuse because I have 2 and not all of my TVs are HDMI capable and the TV out settings menu is gone so is it possible
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App

I'm pretty sure it is gone, due to MHL support (HDMI over USB) but if anybody could make it happen, I would love to see it. I don't own a single TV with HDMI, but have 1 component hdtv & composite/s-video sdtv. I would love to be able to use my infuse with them. I used the HDMI for the first time over at my girlfriends grandparents, and it was amazing. Would this be something possible to port over from the captivate once GB arrives, or would it require a too extreme of a sorcery to port over?

We may not have the hardware for it at all. If I ever get the time I'll look to see if there's hint of it in the kernel sources, but just to warn you, this particular item is very low priority for me. I haven't owned an analog-only TV in years.

it would also need a program to tell it it is connected to a tv. the phone whouldnt be able to tell if a tv or a microphone was connected.

is there any update on this yet?
anyone tried something already?
Thanks!

[DEV][TESTERS REQUIRED]USB-OTG for i9001

Hey peeps,i saw that the Desire HD has USB-OTG mod,so it might be possible to apply that patch over here.
Anybody willing to test?It requires the specific cable for testing!
NOTE-It might burn your motherboard due to excessive voltage/power!

Hi, this idea sounds great! Unfortunately I am (still) too big a noob to try this (as you can see, I just joined this forum).
I was wondering if there is a way to connect a usb peripheral (especially a USB-keyboard) and make the Galaxy S Plus i9001 function as a USB-host.

any phones which didnt have tv-out by company,and devs did it?

If the arc s has (mini) hdmi out, this port is directly connected with the chipboard. You'll see that every msm8255-related board has hdmi connection possibilities when you look on the specification plan / roadmap of qualcomm about this board. It's impossible to use the mini usb port -> usb -> hdmi, by any usb to hdmi converter. There's windows, mac or linux based software needed for output in hdmi.
The sgs, sgs + (and possibly the i9003 as well) got a tv out trough the 3.5 mm jack. There was a thread about it a couple of months ago, since samsung made it impossible to connect it with a universal cable. Samsung changed the connector slightly to force people to buy the official samsung cables for this.

Tnx for the info
Does such a cable exist?or one has to be shaped for the i9001?

You mean the 3.5 mm to video connectors (3 colors analog connector, I forgot how they're called...)? Samsung should be selling those cables, but I havent searched for them. Camcorders of about ten years back often use them, however they wont work with galaxy s phones, since they made the connection proprietaire...
Getting the mini hdmi output connector on the msm8255 board is impossible of course (or someone should be willing to be soldering a mini hdmi connector on its phone )

if it is possible to build a kernel with usbotg support it should also be possible to make the sgs+ compatible with the car/deskdock
since chrismas i have a original samsung car dock, but as many others i have problems with charging/connecting.
i know the trick with "connecting slowly/half". it works, but this is not very comfortable.
isnt it possible to have a lock in the i9000 files to get the sgs+ compatible.
as far as i know samsung used the ID-Pin (no.4) in the micro usb connector to identify car or desk dock, as it is discribed in the official usb battery charging spec 1.2 ***.usb.org/developers/devclass_docs/BCv1.2.zip
the identification is a simple resistance messuament
and the 3 nominal values are 124k, 68k, 36.5k as discribed on page 56.
so maybe somebody can have a lock in the i9000 files and search for so called AccessoryChargerAdaptor detection (ACA dock).
or maybe someone knows an other way to get the sgs+ charging correctly in the car dock. (audio out isnt important)

List of USB OTG Host capable android devices

For a new project I have to identify an Android deice that is enabled to work as usb host (USB-OTG). This device should be better not expensive like SGS2 or other top level ones.
Surfing on the web and searching on this forum I have found several device specific threads, but expecially for those devices that need some hack to make USB-OTG work (like changing the kernel).
I would like to have a list of android devices that are ready, out of the box, without voiding warranty.
I kindly ask to add to this thread the model of device that you are sure are already enabled.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks, one of my colleagues has the Iconia, it works well with Host USB, but I was looking for a smartphone. The only one I found are over 350 euros, I was trying to find something below 200 euros.
By the way for DHD you can find OTG cables, and I think the chipset is capable of, but maybe you need to flash a modified kernel.
Ciao

I think dell streak may be used as a USB Host

[Q] Android DVB-T ELECOM

Hello all,
I would like to ask about application which we can find in android play - Android DVB-T made by elecom. (app)
Anybody try it?
I find on elecom side USB DVB-T Tuner. Its look like very well, but it is working??
I instal app on transformer and give me a message "Disconnect the accessory and plug it in again."
I will be very grateful for any answer.

Do you have the TVTuner or you are trying to run the app without the actual hardware?

I install app without hardware, because I want to see some settings or, I don't know, some list of compatibile devices. Something that tells me a device with which it works.
I'm not a developer but I know that app will not show me any channel without hardware

as i'd like to have a DVB-T reception on my transformer in Poland wrote to the manufacturer

I doubt it will work without some sort of usb drivers built into the rom you are using. Android supports several basic usb devices, but nothing really specific. You'd also need a program to take advantage of the hardware...

You can buy a DVB-T program - look in the first post. Could it have drivers implemented?

In app description they wrote: "Android DVB-T is application software that controls DVB-T tuner made by Elecom" but they don't wrote which tuner working with it.
I wrote mail to Elecom two days ago but i don't get any answer yet.

I mean that you will still need kernel modules for your kernel and dvb-t stick.
I have compiled modules for some of dvb-t stick and using droidTv sw from chruli (posted on github)

Ok, this application not need any kernel modules, but work only with one dvb-t stick (made by Elecom)

Ok - they wrote that, but - I will return to my first question - anybody try it ??

Regarding to this german article (sorry did not found any english one for this product) the app only works with the DVB-T Dongle 12123 from Elecom. Elecom announced that the dongle will be availible from now on but I can't find it on their website.

This is strange... They give app, but no device for it I think where they specify devices for app. Thaks for all answers.

Dear Mr. ,
The App is for our ELECOM DVB-T Tuner 12123.
It will be available on Amazon.de within the next week or two.
It will work with you tablet if it has Android 3.1 or higher and if the Tab supports the USB host function.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Best Regards

Hi,
I received it last weekend. Here the results:
-Motorola Xoom MZ601 with Team EOS 2.0.0 Everest Rom (Android 4)
App was installable, but didnt recognize the Receiver.
lsusb showed the devices
-Motorola Xoom MZ601 with Original EU Rom, Android 3.2
App was installable, App started when connecting the receiver
good sensitivity, got all my Channels, even in the basement.
Recording OK. Playback OK.
No App2SD.
-A Samsung Galaxy S2 with official Samsung Rom Android 4.0
App was installable, Receiver was recognized.
But when trying to scan for channels, the button for starting the scan is
not reachable, the Widget is outside the screen.
The Software should be improved, I miss things like ordering the channels.
No App2SD, not able to choose the recording/Timeshifting folder.
Hope this helps.
BR

Where did you buy the receiver?

Hello guys,
I have this TV Tuner and tried to run it on Asus Transformer Prime TF201 with latest firmware. Unfortunatelly the apps from Google Play crashes during channel scanning.
Pitty.

Where did you get it?

hm... in Poland shows something like that:
http://www.cyfrowypolsat.pl/oferta/tv-mobilna/dekoder-mobilny-m-t-5000.cp
This is very intresting offer because for more less 80 Euro - one-time payment you can get standard programs and few more. You get a receiver and app.
But I think that did receiver get a signal form diffrent than polish transmiter.
Maybe I will try when I go to vacation
