I bought a Microsoft bluetooth mouse to use with my TF300 when I have it hdmi to my tv. Seems to work fine, no connection problems, smooth, until I enter any app, netflix as an example, then it goes haywire. The mouse pointer jumps all over, move the mouse right the pointer goes left, stutters, flashes, overall just becomes unusable. I don't know if the problem is the mouse, interference, the tablet, all of these, none of these???? I guess my question is whether anyone has had any luck with bluetooth mice, if so what brand and did you have to do anything special to get it working? I like the idea of creating my own "smart tv", just wish it would work.
Thanks

I am currently looking to buy a bluetooth keyboard with mouse but encountered some new terms I hardly understood. I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to explain the differences.
I do understand and know how a BT keyboard and mouse work. No problem with that, but some keyboard only mentions: wireless keyboard, wireless laser keyboard, wireless optical keyboard, optical laser keyboard, etc...
OK, so they are all wireless, but that does mean they are all connected via Bluetooth? The words "optical" and "laser" threw me off. What do they mean? Should I assume if the word "wireless" is in the product description that they are referring to Bluetooth connectivity? But after reading the description, I did not encountered the word Bluetooth, so is there another way to be wireless other than BT (excluding IR of course)?
Forgive me for my ignorance, but I don't want to buy something and regret it later.
...
Most wireless keyboard+mouse combinations usually use RF transmitters, a small usb stick.
Bluetooth is not as common but a good alternative especially from this forum's viewpoint: you can use it to connect phone too You can either use computer's built-in BT or usb stick usually supplied with the set. Built-in BT is good solution with laptops.
Optical and laser refer to the mouse and the technology it uses to detect mouse movement. Normal consumer does not really see
any difference between these two but hardcore gamers might.
Hope this helps a bit
Hi xda-developers,
I have a serious problem with accessing the usb-port with my unrooted htc desire.
I just want to connect a switch/circuit breaker to my cellphone via usb. And than I want to be able to react on the event if somebody pressed the switch. It's only this little event that I wan't to react on.
I searched the web and found two ways to achieve my goal:
1.) Get a Bluetooth device and interact with that.
2.) Root the Desire and make/solder a usb-to-serial cable
But seriously? A Bluetooth device just to recognize if somebody pressed a hardware button? And I want to share this project so if possible I would relinquish the need of a rooted device.
So now, after hours of web-searching and reading references, I ask you, the awesome xda-developers-community: Is there any easy way to access the usb-port from within my Android-App or the Android-Scripting-Engine?
Every hint is appreciated.
.:LordAlien:.
No one an idea? Or just a little hint where I could read furthermore related to access the usb-port?
It seems like you would need a bit more than root and a USB-to-Serial cable.
Maybe if you only need one hardware switch you could use the mic button input, or play a sound to the mic input? Or use a magnet and the magnetic sensors (electromagnet, or even a neodym magnet glued to your hardware button).
Thanks for your replay.
I already read about the usb-host-capabilites, but I thought if I only want to detect on little signal I would not need the whole usb-host stuff.
Thanks for the Idea with the magnetic thing, but if I really need another device to realize my switch I will stay with bluetooth.
/edit: I thought off buying a littel&cheap bluetooth mouse and interact on the click. Would it be possible? Can I actually connect a bluetooth mouse to my android mobile phone?
I don't think a Bluetooth mouse would work, at least not out of the box. Most Android devices don't fully support the Bluetooth HID or SPP profiles. It's missing software, not hardware. But I saw that the Dell Streak apparently supports keyboards and mice.
BlueInput only supports keyboards, it seems. It doesn't need root. So apparently it should be possible to do the same for mice, but I didn't find anybody doing it yet. But maybe you can ask the BlueInput people whether mice would also work, just without a visible pointer (because Android doesn't have a visible mouse pointer). That wouldn't matter to you, but it would be useless for normal mouse users, so perhaps they just don't advertize that BlueInput can talk to mice, too.
Or maybe you can find a cheap headset which is supported by Android. The answer button should work.
Oh look, with root it works apparently.
Yeah I think you are right again. I only thought of the volume buttons on a headset therefore I suggested a mouse.
Is there list of compatible bluetooth headset? Because I already have one a Jabra BT2015 which is not supported (at least I can't get it working).
As the subject states, I successfully connected my BT mouse and keyboard to the GT 7+. However, I noticed that the mouse movement stutters heavily and keyboard press lag. For example:
1). WITHOUT running any applications (I use Samsung RAM Manager to kill everything), I move the mouse from STOP and there was about 0.5 - 1 seconds before the GT7+ register the movement and move the mouse. When I stop moving the mouse and then move it again, the same thing happened.
2). When I type in, say browser (Dolphin, built-in, doesn't matter), there was the same delay before what I type show up on the screen.
I never have this problem with the ASUS TF. Is this GT7+ issue?
Those who uses BT mouse and keyboard, can you confirm?
Are you experiencing this problem still? What model kb & mouse? I'm thinking about buying a BT kb & mouse/touchpad to use with my Tab Plus.

I sometimes use a Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000 with my GT-P6210.
I sometimes notice some delay in the characters appearing on screen. The lag seems to happen less when I don't use the "Samsung keypad" (instead opting for the "Hacker's keyboard" app), but there are still occasional delays.
That said, this keyboard is certainly usable for me.
I haven't tried a mouse.

Yes it does. I use Amazon Basic Bluetooth Keyboard (search it in Amazon) and Logitech Bluetooth mouse (m555b model).
i am experiencing the same issues, using my FelTouch Magic touchpad as keyboard and mouse. especially the mouse issue is really annoying. ...
I can confirm this. There's a very similar thread in the 7.7 Accessories forum as well.
I've seen this issue arise when using any "input" type bluetooth device. I have both an iControlPad and a keyboard. When playing games, if I don't press a button for a few seconds, and then press one, the response is a bit delayed (more so than normal, and noticeable) - this is the issue reported in the OP. After that, pressing buttons works normally (at least until another sufficiently long pause).
However, I've also noticed that a key or button being held down, if held down for too long (I think 3+ seconds), will cause the tablet to repeat that letter (or action) multiple times for a second or two. If the same key is held down for just a few seconds (only 1 or 2), the letter or action will stop repeating immediately after I've let go of the key.
I've reported this issue to Samsung, but no response yet. This issue does not exist on my Motorola Razr Maxx (on the contrary - I'm actually amazed by the response time when using the iControlPad).
I want to mention that I was having buggy/delay issues when using a bluetooth barcode scanner in HID mode with the GT-P6210. Switching to SPP mode avoided all the delays/bugs. Perhaps you could try a mouse or keyboard which supports SPP connections.
Alright, quick update. I originally emailed their support about this issue, and they responded that I should call their support department, which I just did. It's a quick, direct line to someone who seems to know what they're talking about, which was a nice surprise!
Anyway, I reported the issues in this thread, and she seemed to understand what I was saying, and that she'd hand that on to people who could reproduce the issue. Hopefully this makes it into the next update! I did make a point to ask about ICS, but she couldn't tell me any details
Also: k_t_b, the iControlPad does have an SPP mode (in addition to a HID mode), and both modes result in the same noticeable delay. I'm not sure if that's just an issue with the device, or what. I've heard of people using Wii remotes and PS3 controllers to connect, and I wonder if they've run into these same issues...
After flashing the new ICS leak for GT-P6210 (UK), it seems that the bluetooth stutter issue has been FIXED! Keyboard and iControlPad now work flawlessly! Will update if I run i to any issues.

I have the same problem with a samsung, that there is a delay with bluetooth HID input devices, tell me if it is hardware or software failure
The idea was to play some Hardline streamed on the Shield tablet in the living room. Everything works super well with the exception of the mouse. I use a Logitech G700 via OTG. The movement seems smooth enough until I hit a brick wall, on and off. So I cant rotate completely with out stopping abruptly and randomly. Doesn’t make for a good kill/death ratio. Anyone know what this is and how to fix it? It’s not update-specific; it’s always been like this. I’ve tried two other mice too and they’re much worse.
Thanks!
I just recently bought a used Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 SM-P905V about 2months ago. Everything is fine but until now where I tried connecting a new Logitech bluetooth keyboard and a bluetooth Microsoft mouse.
Mouse Problem:
There seems to be a lag with the mouse pointer where it would freeze for half a second then it would go very fast. This happens constantly. Tried it on my laptop and the mouse works perfectly there.
Keyboard Problem:
After typing 3 words on the Note Pro, it would repeat a letter, or an input I push many times. For example, "My name is Chhhhhhhhhhhhhharlie". I tried using this keyboard on my Samsung S5 phone and my laptop and it works perfectly on those devices. I bought this tablet for school work like writing notes and typing papers so this is a disappointment.
So the problem seems to be my bluetooth on my SM-P905V, what can I do to fix the problem?
Bluetooth is integrated circuit on this model and it's used, failed bluetooth or wifi is nothing to be surprised.
Try to clear data and cache in Recovery Mode or Factory Reset.
Your mouse and keyboard are working fine with other devices so the problem is from BT connection. It's impossible to fix as many components are involved and mainboard has to be replaced.
I have one Note Pro with not working BT, it doesn't bother me as I rarely use BT for anything.

I have the same issue intermittently, and unfortunately its well documented that many others have had this issue as well.
It only seems to be an issue when you have both a keyboard and mouse connected.
its like they interfere with eachother a bit intermittently.
if you use one or the other they work fine in my experience, even using one wired and one wireless fixes the issue.
I switched to using a wired keyboard and mouse but I've also found just using the keyboard (wired or wireless) works well too as the touchscreen works pretty well for mouse input even for teamviewer, though I understand your frustration with not being able to use both easily.
