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!

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).
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
Hi guys, sorry if thisis the wrong section cause this is half accessorie half troubleshoot.
Now to the part, that is bothering me.
Since, the dock has a built-in OTG port, i planned on playing some Asphalt 8 and PS1 games on it.
I got a wired Gioteck VX1 PS3 Controller.
Here's the problem:
Booting up Asphalt 8, it says that a gamepad is connected. When the race starts though, al the buttons are dead.
After some time, i pressed all the buttons on my dock and some buttons are working on the game instead of the gamepad.
Booting the PS1 Emulator is a bit different though.
I can map all buttons, exept the Dpads and the left analog stick.
Tried, USB/BT JoyCenter and it recognizes my gamepad but nothing happens.
Any help, would be welcome.
Thanks for in advance.
Omay, i just got on my hands an OTG for my Galaxy S4.
I connect the usb controller and voila!
It works natively, without any other apps.
So maybe, the problem is on the dock?
It can't override it to work or something?
Bump.
Bump.

Hi all,
First off, let me say how excited I was when I saw updates that allowed for multiple controller support in GameStream games. That's one of my killer features!
The new problem is, after updating, when I turn on my controllers, go into Console Mode/GameStream, etc., the audio continues playing though my computer speakers in another room (not the TV, like it used to), and while the controllers register on the Shield Tablet (to select a game), once the game launches, the controllers don't register in the game at all!
I can still long-press the Start arrow to quit a game, but every game I launch, the controllers don't respond now.
I've already tried 'forgetting' the controllers and re-syncing them, but this issue is totally new to me. And yes, I've already checked/unchecked the 'Audio on PC' option, plenty of times.
I'm really not sure what's going on, but I'm kind of at a loss. As of now, all my GameStream is good for is watching games load with no audio, and that's it.
Has anyone else had an issue like this and knows how to fix it?
So I got my mittens on a MiStick and its fine, except some of the games don't work, and I think its because the device is detected or functions as a touchscreen device. So, as I understand it, unless a game has controller integration it won't work? Crossy Road is stuck on the age screen at the beginning and no way to input.
If anyone can enlighten me that would be great.....can this be altered so the device functions as a normal Android TV device.
Can’t help you with your problem. Just wanted to say that I’m extremely disappointed with the mi tv stick. Often I can’t boot it up and have to pull the plug, also prime video is buffering very often... my Networkspeed is very good so this is not the problem. Also it freezes sometimes without any reason and losing connection to the remote. I hope they will fix the bugs in further updates.

Agreed that it is a bit laggy......however yesterday I managed to get Stadia working on it, and was playing Doom Eternal with no issues - however the Stadia homepage was not showing all of the content. So far I've had no issues with freezing etc, but we'll have to wait and see. I think Sabrina may be my next port of call.

Try to replace the USB cable. I had the same symptoms, so I replaced the cable. I
