[Q] USB Mouse/Keyboard

Hello, I was wondering if with a micro USB to USB 2.0 adapter, if it would be possible to attach a mouse and/or keyboard to my G2.
If so, is there an app that would be needed to map the buttons or make them register?

Like a Desktop? Bit small eh? Umm... Not sure how you would go about that, but with a remote desktop thing for your phone, you could control it using the mouse and keyboard on the PC, although that would be a bit pointless

Well that's why I want to use the mouse and keyboard, to remotely control my pc from my phone.

I have bluetooth mouse and keyboard working fine with the bluetooth settings in android

you can do that?!? thats crazy,and ridiculously awesome,might have to look into it

Thanks FreeRoller, Ill Look Into Buying A Bluetooth Mouse.

Some xtra info:
Tested apple wireless keyboard and microsoft bluetooth 6000 both work beautifully.. only tested some ms blutooth mouse but I got a cursor I coukd click links with in browser, was pretty awesome

Sounds Pretty Awesome. If This Is Possible, To Combine This With Some Sort Of HDMI/DVI Out Cable, To Attach To A TV Or Monitor. Who Needs An Atrix When You Can Have Your Own Portable Cloud?

You might be able to program a wii remote to do the basic I guess??

Use a bluetooth mouse or keyboard?

Would be cool if we could get one of the MCE remotes that have usb IR receivers to work.

Apple bluetooth keyboard

hi,
bluekeyboard jp and easyconnect do nothing for this. Can some people ty I really could do with it working.
everytime I enter an application it is paired but not connected so it says,connecting then immideiately disconnected, everytime.
i cant work on this device now. really wanted to
do i have to root this, this is so annoying.

so I found out that bluetooth apple keyboard isn't HID profile compliant soo Ive gone and oredered one that is. There is an awesome video of a guy on youtube hwho uses a logitech keyboard and mouse on it testing it on his tv. He virtual desktop and it is incredible. I'll find the link

I use my Apple Bluetooth Keyboard with my Galaxy S II. As described above, though, it doesn't work with the Note. Why not?

I think you're talking about my video:
I'm using a Dell mouse in that video though, the much nicer one that comes with the Logitech keyboard doesn't map the menu key to the scroll wheel button like it does on most others (it works fine otherwise though). The Dell one is dead cheap on Ebay.
I'm surprised the Apple keyboard isn't working, as mentioned it works perfectly with the SII (and the Galaxy S for that matter). I wonder what Samsung have done to the BT stack or kernel that makes it incompatible here?

Yup Confirmed .. the keyboard and the mouse get paired ..but when i connect they disconnect...it works well in galaxy tab but not in Note !!! Errr

Yes even my apple magic mouse gets connected with galaxy s2 and i can use it. But its just getting paired but not getting connected with my Note.

Same issue here. Although I can connect my Microsoft mouse.

Streaming phone`s screen to another Android

As title says. I have two HTC Sensation`s and want to connect one of them to TV via MHL Link, and use another one, but see it`s screen wirelessly on TV. I hope I explained it right. Is there any app that lets stream one phone`s screen to another?

Nope, your best bet would be to download an Aosp rom with working MHL, then connect to the phone by Bluetooth with a Nintendo Wii controller, you'll have to use the TV as a primary screen unless you want to sit next to the phone, you'll have to download an app to allow use of the Wii controller through menus, Wiimote is good!

for example to play games on TV from Sensation wirelessly. Or to watch movies and swap between them while sitting on sofa

Hi,
I do have configured my sensation with my Gtab to do something like you want.
There are a couple of possibilities:
A) using imediashare little (free on the market) on both devices you can stream from one to the other. You can also use the DLNA of the album apk.
B) using tablet remote (free on the market) you can control one device with the other. In that way you can have an Android TV.
C) get a BT mouse and keyboard, and control your phone remotely.
Hope it help.

Bluetooth key board should work fine, the mouse would work as if its 4 directional arrow keys, going through and highlighting click able options, no cursor

found it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUzWmQymoME
in this video I can see cursor on Sense 3.6 (ARHD6.1.1). Do you think it`s fake? I`m not sure now Has anyone tried it?
edit:At 0:28 you can see cursor even in Launcher.
edit2: As in video, bluetooth mouse and keyboard works. Mouse shows cursor everywhere. The only problem is that both buttons on mouse works as click, no back button on mouse. But I have back button on keyboard, so that`s not a problem. ROM I`m using is PKMN v5.1.

I tried thaat, but it still lags too much to play game. But thanks for info, I will look at this app and wait for updates, maybe then it will be good

I believe that in order to pair the ps3 controller only root is required. So you dont have to flash aokp, dont have to lose sense for the controller option to work

Sense won't recognise half the controllers buttons and would have problems connecting, sense doesn't have a full Bluetooth stack like AOSP, so 70% of Bluetooth input is ignored

Now you can use our new app, VMLite VNC Server to do that, you run the server on phone, and open a browser on the other to view and control the phone. VNC Viewer should also work.

I use screen stream: https ://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobzapp.screenstream.trial
Works like a charm using VLC on my other phone to watch it.

Hi,
I'm on the same situation as you (OP).
I installed XBMC on the phone connected to the TV and Yatse (XBMC controller) on the phone on my hand. There are some games and good add-ons for XBMC so you can have a good all round media center.
Give it a try...

Point of View HDMI Smart TV Dongle

hi all, i have bought the above smart tv dongle thingy from maplins
http://www.maplin.co.uk/point-of-view-hdmi-smart-tv-dongle-android-4.1-685649
anyone have one of these? im pretty impressed with it, im not too happy with the menu though and id like to customize it a bit.. any ideas on what can be done with this device?
Thanks

First thing to do with this device
I just got one.
First thing I did was install ADW Launcher Ex on it and get rid of the horrible launcher it came with.
Now I have a very fast 42" tablet, with widgets, live wallpapers the lot, no root required.
This thing has loads of potential, but if you read the customer reviews on Maplin you'll see they haven't understood that this is Android and you can customise the heck out of it.
The only thing I've found missing so far is a lock screen in case you don't want others using it while your not there without unplugging it. I also heard it loses datetime if you unplug it, not surprising as it doesn't have an internal clock battery.
It's surprisingly fast, but if you're mouse pointer will lag under heavy load.
Still exploring potential will post back as I find out more.

Ah thanks! I have since rooted and installed different firmware! I found out that it was a re-branded Rikomagic MK802III and installed the latest firmware for that device which is way better. I have XBMC running alongside MX Player Hardware video decoding, all is sweet. I found out all I needed from this guys post. Enjoy

Point of View HDMI Smart TV dongle - interface & WD My Passport
Hi,
I have just bought the hdmi dongle and m not very technology savvy. One of the main reasons I got it was to be able to connect my WD My Passport to it to play movies etc. However I can't seem to change the settings on the menu - so when I click on Movies - rather than all my separated folders showing up - instead it shows an icon of my 1500 movies (which includes about 750 clips of my kids). I can't seem to find a way to get it to display the folders, or even a list of the movies rather than the huge icons! Is there a way around this?
Thanks in advance,
Colette
