Is the main USB port active or any good uses for it yet
USB thumbdrives appear to be the only thing that works and are not hot-swappable (must reboot to see it). On some very rare occasions the thumbdrive will be seen without a reboot, but the ratio is about 1/20 times (yes I tested this).
USB host function and bluetooth input connectivity are very poor on the stock based FW.
wireless kb/mouse work fine in cm b4
I've gotten a wireless and wired keyboard to work, but never a mouse.

Both stock and TnT Lite worked with the keyboards. I've tried USB wired and USB wireless; keyboards work, but no love for a mouse. Haven't tried Bluetooth

Few questions please:
1. Are you using TnT Lite 2.0?
2. This device really has USB wireless drivers and control chip, or do you mean bluetooth?
3. How can you get a wireless or manual keyvboard to read when the options will not allow anything but the default keyboard? This is the (or a) reason Wiimote and other input devices will not work.
4. What keyboards for USB and wireless?
I could not get the device with TnT 2.0 to see anything via USB except thumb drives and absolutely nothing is seen via bluetooth as far as input devices. Part of the problem is the same process for hotswap (that does not work) is also part of the polling process for hardware to be seen and read. Gtablet apparently does not look for devices except at start-up.
Thanks
any extra steps needed other than plugging it into the usb port....?
what model keyboards were they?
I have found that it is also good for charging my phone. Seems to work whether the screen is on or off.

I just plugged my generic wired keyboard into the USB port -- first times after the g-tablet was booted up, the second time before it was booted up -- both times the keyboard works just fine. To enter type I simply tap on the text input box and start typing on the real keyboard. If you tap on the textbox you will bring up the on-screen keyboard; that does not interfere with the real keyboard. Alternatively, you can touch the "return" button which will remove the on-screen keyboard, at which point you can then start typing with the real keyboard without the on-screen one, the one exception being the default brower (the on-screen keyboard reappears as soon as I start typing).
Right now I'm on TnT Lite 2.0, but the USB keyboard worked when I was still on stock (pre-update).
As for USB flash drive: I just plug mine into the already booted-up g-tablet, and I am able to access all the files -- I can view the pdf and listen to mp3 etc (this is definitely not true with stock TnT).
NOTE: ESfile explorer do NOT see the files on the USB drive the moment I plug the drive it. So I back out to the home screen, hit ESfile explorer again, and wa la, the files are there. I guess it takes a few seconds to scan the drive (understandable...)
I just rebooted the g-tablet and then plug in the USB drive, and it still works! This time I waited 5 seconds before firing up the ESfile explorer and the files are there.
I have no luck using a wired mouse with the g-table
I have used BT keyboard with Bluetooth keyboard app, but as has been confirmed, BT mouse does not work with bluetooth apps or dirctly. The BT program was problematic, but a generic belkin bt dongle works with the wireless keyboard just by pushing the pairing button on the dongle and then just hitting some random keys on the keyboard while it is in discover mode. After that, you just begin typing.
omg wooooooo quake 3 with keyboard hahaha this is a riot
Whatformat does the drive have to be in for the USB to read it. Also im running latest version tnt lite and the device seems to hang alot. I have a task mgr and fequetly close apps and it helps some. Any ideas? Seems alot of stuff starts up when you boot. Is there a way to stop that?
thanks Matt
Also my Microsoft bt kb and and mouse work fine on this device. Haven't tested the bt pocket kb for my old dell axim yet. Needs batteries.

I'm using TnT lite 2.02. I've tried a standard USB keyboard and it works fine. Takes just a few moments for detection, but afterwards tapping into any edit box allows for input via the keyboard. For wireless, I've tried several RF wireless combo units. These, from Microsoft, Logitech and a few others, have a USB transiever (sp?) That works with the keyboard, but I haven't had any luck with a mouse.
My unit seems to play nicely win USB flash drives as well, including being hot swapable friendly. I've not had to reboot just for detection of a flash drive.
They only Bluetooth device I've tried is a pair of Motorola S9 stereo headphones, which worked just as well as they do with my iPhone.

Is your device newer? As in last week or two (mine is one of the first 1,000)? No luck with mine to the point I returned it yesterday, a few days before too late to return it. I tried everything I could think of with no luck.
What was the keyboard model & number? Zero luck with bluetooth as well, for any input device I tried. Using the same FW as you are.
I use my lenovo htpc kb/mouse. http://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Multimedia-Remote-with-Keyboard/dp/B0036VO67I
As soon as I plug it in it works. A mouse cursor pops up when it detects the slightest movement of the trackball.
Again, this is wireless not BT on CM B4.

Sorry, I am referring to TnT based FW. With CM you lose either the internal or external microsd (one or the other).
Of course CM works, since no lame TnT OEM devs to screw things up that should not be messed with in the first place
If CM ever works with all storage, it will be a nice option
People report success with TnT 2.0, but not seeing any specifics as to how and what they are using. Nothing worked for me using TnT 2.0.
I have used a thumbdrive with good results. I usually put the tablet to sleep while swapping the usb drive in or out. This accomplishes two things...one, it keeps the tablet from spontaneously rebooting (which happened to me once while pulling out the thumb drive) and two, it ensures that the tablet sees the the usb drive. The tablet seems to scan for drives when it wakes up.
On my tab with CM B4 \sdcard is my 8gb micro sd (external card) and \emmc is the onboard 16gb of space. It still doesn't go into usb storage mode when plugged into a PC but you can adb in or go to CW and mount usb. I'm pretty sure Bekit integrated the fixes that came down with the TnT update, not to mention more that we found. Huge thanks to him for all his hard work and quick updates.
Can you plug in a USB mouse and use it with an on-screen cursor? I would be useful for Flash games. I have seen some vids of tablets with mice and keyboards, but no info on how its done.

In the video i saw the user had the vegan rom and just plugged in the usb for the mouse and the keyboard into a usb hub which was hooked into the tablet and he was able to move both around, not sure if its just with that rom or not, as im still waiting until xmas to hopefully be getting mine. he did say that wireless mouse and keyboards do not work.
CM6 rom works with bluetooth mice and keyboards simultaneously.
Any thoughts on BT Keyboards or Mouses?
Hahah Answered while looking for my Password. Thanks.
Thanks. So can you use the mouse on say flash games??

From what ive Noticed when using the Mouse it works just like your finger would so no scrolling (Atleast on CM6) and use click and hold to go up n down pages. So it might or might not. somone has to try it :x Give me a website and ill try it.
Could you try like a desktop tower defense game that would require selecting and placing objects?
Id like to know if any support a USB kb/mouse combo like the Logitech EX100. I plugged it in, but the mouse didnt do anything. I was hoping this would be slam dunk.
Is there anything I need to do/install to get my mouse or keyboard to work on 3.1? When I plug them in, nothing happens. I've also tried plugging in my iPhone and an Xbox 360 controller, just to see if there is any response to any of them to show that the Xoom sees them.
I have a wired mouse and wireless keyboard (I figured keyboard wouldn't work). I'm trying to figure out if I may just have a bad OTG adapter.
Bluetooth keyboards work just fine.
You won't get any notifications or popups when you plug in a device, they will just start working (eg, you can just start typing with the keyboard).
Yeah I assumed they would just start working, but I wasn't sure if my wireless keyboard would work. I know when I am, for example, installing windows the keyboard works before drivers get installed, just not to the full extent.
I need help on this aswell... anyone?
I was wondering about this aswell. Doesn't it need to download drivers for the keyboard/mouse to work? Also since there's only one USB plug, would a hub work to get like a keyboard and mouse working at the same time?
And would wireless work?
Thinking the Droid Charge supports the HID bluetooth profile, I purchased the Atrix keyboard; however, I cannot seem to pair it. I put the keyboard in pairing mode and then scan for Bluetooth devices. On the Charge I select the "Motorola Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard" from the menu and am given a message "Enter xxxxxx to pair with ...". This message disappears in less than a second and I'm given the error message "Unable to establish communication with ...". I never have the chance to enter the code on the keyboard ...
Any thoughts? Thanks for your help.
I believe I read somewhere that this was supposed to support the HID profile out of the box I'm not 100% sure though. You could try one of the HID drivers from the marketplace I think one is called blueinput or something similar. Post back if you get it working cause I would really like to have a wireless mini keyboard for this phone as well.

i'm not sure if this is helpful, but I paired a bluetooth mouse with my Charge, using no special drivers. I would like to know if a bluetooth keyboard would work with it though.

If you can get a mouse to work without having any special drivers/apps to support it then it at least means that the phone does support HID protocols which would mean that generic bluetooth keyboards should work. If the keyboard requires some sort of special driver that is installed after pairing it most likely won't work, though.

I should clarify and update this - the device I have is a bluetooth presentation remote/mouse. It can switch between mouse mode and presenter mode. It works for a few minutes, but then loses connection. It works fine with a computer, so I don't think there's a problem with the remote.
You can connect the Charge to BT keyboard and don't have to root..
Thanks to another member TylerMF you CAN probably pair the Atrix (also for Xoom) keyboard.
See his thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28133531#post28133531
He connected his BT keyboard to an Evo successfully.
I have a Samsung CHARGE and I had the same struggle, but followed his instructions and am now connected to both the Atrix/Xoom keyboard and a Logitech bluetooth mouse.
Very nice!

Hello, I have a problem with Android
I'm on Gingerbread stock at my Xperia Neo V
Using USB OTG cable, I connected the Microsoft Wireless Mouse 1000 and everything is working great with one problem - the keyboard hides when I connect the mouse to USB port.
Device is reading this wireless dongle as a Microsoft Nano Transceiver v2.0 so I guess it's like a mouse and a keyboard for system, but I have only mouse.
My wired desktop mouse is detected as a USB Mouse and can use keyboard.
I have tried several keyboards but none worked - even OpenWnn with Use Hardware Keyboard unchecked.
Is there anything that I can do, maybe some keyboard?
Not sure if this is right category...
