I have a CDMA TouchPro and I just ordered a TV Out cable. I searched for bluetooth mouse input software and found BlueInput.
http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=bluemouse
Its looks really awesome but I dont have my TV Out cable (yet) nor do I have a bluetooth mouse. I was wondering if anyone could confirm if this software works on the TouchPro and more specifically does it work while in TV Out mode? It has a 14 day trial so if anyone could try it and let me know so i can go buy a mouse that would be awesome!
I tried this with a Trust Mi-8700rp mouse on a touch pro and the mouse worked - although it sometimes left a trail of multiple cursors dotted on the screen. With an igo stowaway keyboard and video out cable it would almost be like using a PC.
awesome. I would assume that it works fine with video out. I guess Ill have to get a mouse and keyboard when I get my cable.

I'm using a Microsoft Mobile Memory 8000 bluetooth/2.4 mouse with blue mouse app trial works well just. Wish i could get a free genkey or crack or version. Does someone know how to go about this ?
oo nice for bluetooth?
For some odd reason my Bluetooth won't turn on anymore, so my controller is useless now.
I bought a xbox 360 gamepad to find out the device doesn't power it (and they won't even refund grrr). Could anyone who has a working WIRED controller share it's model? Just so I can buy one safely, knowing it'll work.
The Xbox gamepad stopped working with Lollipop for me. Used to work on Kitkat. So if you wanna go back...

I am on KitKat and it doesn't work already.
Odd. It used to work for me. Is this an MS original or a third party controller you're using. Also, this is a wired controller right? Not a wireless connected with a charger cable because that won't work.

An original MS controller for xbox 360. The 4 circle leds would just keep blinking together.
never ever worked on my 8.4 tab s, wired proper 360 controller.
such a shame as there are some good games like raiden as well as the emu stuff.

I'm not talking specifically about 360 controllers though. I'm asking if there's ANY wired controller that is known to work with this tablet. ANY brand.
Before I got my wireless bluetooth controller I was using a Game Elements Recoil model GGE909 over a dirt cheep usb otg adaptor. I never could get my usb Xbox controller to work so I just fell back on an old cheep usb one I had and it worked great aside from taking up a usb port. My galaxy tab s is the 8.4 wifi model so I can't guarantee it will work but it probably should with your 10.5.
360 Controller never worked, if you get a powered OTG adaptor it might work. Lots of people talk about the MOGA controllers as bluetooth controllers that work well.

For usb controllers and usb otg I tend to find the ones that don't need special drivers or programs to run on windows tend to work the best.
The bluetooth controller I got is the gamestop red samurai v2. Nice layout, good buttons and triggers(not analouge though), well placed analouge sticks for the few android apps that support those, and great compatability. Overall I really like it and best of all gamestop is getting rid of tablet accessories so they are dirt cheep.

ah I assume thats over in the US and not available here in the UK :*(
how much is dirt cheap as I do have some friends over there and if its that cheap, might be worth having one sent.
I picked up my near console (unlike the ouya) grade controller for $7.97 U.S. No clue what they cost online, but most of the gamestops that still have tablet accessories are selling those accessories cheaply to reduce inventory that the company is moving away from.
Hi all,
I want to use my Note 4 as a PC with connected USB switch and a TV for a monitor.
What I know so far about the MHL cable:
1. It has to be active cable, with a power supply feeding from my 2A phone charger
2. Every article suggests that Note4 has 11 pin USB connector. So I can use it like a PC with such cable.
3. MHL 2.0 can transfer 1080p @ 60fps, Note 4 has MHL 2.0
What do you guys think, what cable you suggest that I should pick?
One would be the following, according to my research:
http://www.amazon.de/CSL-Adapterkab..._UL160_SR160,160_&refRID=1NB4JR4JTSNX4ANBM298
Cheers !
The Note 4 also supports MHL 3.0 which allows power to be drawn from the TV directly. I believe your TV must have a MHL port to utilize this to the fullest. Is this more power than coming from an power outlet? I don't know.

Hi, my TV is: http://www.samsung.com/fr/support/model/UE40ES6710SXZF
Though I want to be able to do this using every TV that has HDMI
Also a USB switch with external power will be much appreciated thanks !

The cable you found should work. You may need a USB hub to use a keyboard and mouse simultaneously. I haven't tried a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse but you might be able to connect 2 devices at the same time?
Since you want to use your note 4 as a computer i recommend you to buy Samsung Smart Dock multimedia hub. I have it and my cracked screen S4 is connected to my TV and i use a wireless keyboard to browse and watch movies from showbox etc... better than any smart tv out there.
if you look on eBay you can get it cheaper, i think i bought mine for $50 almost 2yrs ago. it has 3 usb port for flash drive, keyboard mouse, hdd

My Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (N910H) can use MHL cable (11 pins) without external power on my old Samsung TV that doesn't support MHL natively (I have to use USB charger when I connect my old HTC Sensation on the same TV).
I also use Bluetooth Headset & Gamepad at the same time with no lag while on my Gear VR.
But I've never tried all Bluetooth Mouse, Keyboard, Headset & Gamepad...maybe I will try it tonight
Use you charger only to charge your phone when needed
NOTE:
I use 3 old MHL cable with micro USB 5 pins to 11 pins converter & all working well, without external power source.

Best solution I've found for being able to charge the phone, have USB OTG and MHL out to a TV at the same time is the Samsung Smart Media Dock:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Multimedia-Smart-Galaxy-Series-White/dp/B009KZ3XE6
...they're usually available for ~£20 on ebay. Keyboards/mice etc work fine with it. You have 3x USB ports, HDMI out and stereo headphone out (and I believe the audio over HDMI is capable of 5.1).
The one thing I can't get to work is an Xbox 360 controller (preferred over the PS3 controller I have because I'd rather wired than bluetooth). Works ok with my old S3, but the Note doesn't register it when connected. I don't know if that's a ROM/Kernel issue though, as the S3 ROM/Kernel I use has a module to enable XBox controllers.

That's nice but i doubt that these guys will ship the thing to Bulgaria ( It always happens with stuff like that ). Thanks for the replay. At least I will know that to search for
I am looking at purchasing this item so i can connect my tv and mouse to unlock my phone and download all my pictures. (broken digitizer)
Anybody have this already or know if it will sort my problem?

you should be good to go. just make sure you get boot , sound and such . the nicest thing is the Spen will likely not have broken SO , if you get a nice MHL dock / samsung OEM is the best one except that it is in portrait mode but the OEM has 3x USB and its about the only one I've found to reliably work . but ya like I use LTE full time , no wifi so it works perfect with a mouse and keyboard , **** even a hard drive and you have a hella cool ass hub for a TV. seriously it is probably the best way to use ANDROID on a TV with full feature sets.
Cheers mate. My first course of action is to double check it shows on the TV so I bought a 4 quid 11pin micro USB to TV adapter. I'd that works OK. I'll invest in one of these. I will let you know.

Starting a thread to see what kind of kooky and cool ideas peeps have come up with for their setup.
I just bought another Logitech MX570 trackball mouse. My 3rd. I like to go back and forth between traditional mice (MX Performance) and trackball so I don't get carpal tunnel and tendonitis. I'm up in the air about the dedicated keyboard. I will probably get the Logitech K800 as that has been my favorite so far. I would like to try the Craft but too expensive.
I know many of you are just going straight usb-c to HDMI adapter and using Bluetooth accessories. Those are welcome too. It would be really nice if Logitech came out with a sweet sweet keyboard with touchpad built in. There are a couple but the cheap one is just that, cheap and low quality. I bought my mom the K400 and it works fine for her but not for me. Logitech needs to step up their game on a keyboard with touchpad built in.
I am also using Logitech because of the unifying receiver so only USB port is taken for 2 accessories. Have not decided on a USB thumb drive yet.
What setups are you running for productivity with DEX? Please share so there is a thread peeps (that actually use the search function) can come and see what options there are to fit their workflow. Or haven't thought of.
I will update later today see if my USB controllers work for emulators and what the latency is, which I am hoping is just as good as mouse input. I was expecting critical latency that would make the experience bad.
Anybody try with a USB powered monitor yet?
I'm sorry, but..... pics or it didn't happen, right?
I invested in this dex stuff just as a hobby. I already have 4 pc’s plus a laptop and an iPad Pro 12.9 i carry with me daily.
I passed on it with the note 8 but thought to give it a go the note 9.
I also use the mxperformance mouse for my pcs but i picked up a jelly comb foldable portable wireless keyboard. It has a click-style mouse pad and the keypad is pleasant to use. I also picked up the dex pad , hdmi 2.0b latest spec hdmi cable.
I guess a good way to use this setup will be when I download films to the device. Rather than copy the file over to the pc, i can just connect the dex to the display and have better flexibility.
I found the jelly comb folding keyboard to be crap. Double characters everywhere. Moved to a generic wireless mouse on one of the USB ports and an MS folding BT keyboard. It's replaced my work laptop for 80% of tasks. Oh and powering the HDMI adapter by a Nintendo switch USB C power supply as it kicks out 2.6A which is enough to charge the phone at the same time.
I probably won't post a pic (if I even remember) until Friday or Saturday. I think I will try using it one day and a USB 3 thumb drive. I think DEX only supports USB 2 though. Another missed opportunity by Samsung to make this an even better pseudo desktop experience. Did Sammy use 3 or 3.1 for their USB C? Having two or even one USB 3 A port would've been sweet for local storage. Between a Logitech unifying receiver and a SanDisk UltraFit USB 3 drive and you're talking one smaller desktop.
Samsung could make some corny commercials pitting it against Intel NUC boxes like their Apple commercials. ???
Hi guys I have my dex set up, however I'm looking for a Bluetooth keyboard my monitor only has an hdmi, vga connection so I need advice on what will be my best option maybe I should get a cable with a USB receiver for an wireless keyboard any inputs are welcomed thanks.
I'm using my Note9 with Dex running on HP X3 lap dock. Great setup for travel but also when I need to edit things locally on the phone----tasker for example. Everything works on the lap dock including sound. Track pad works but could be better.

Woah, you have a working sound for hp elite? Is there any special way to get it?
I had picked up a DeX dock from Amazon for 60 bucks. I used a logitech anywhere BT mouse and the blue BT keyboard. Mouse and keyboard work great. Resolution looks crappy, seem kinda blurry for a 1080p screen. Still needs work, I was hoping to get the DeX working good enough to use as a htpc streamer for my living room TV. Still fun to play around with tho.
Sent from my Samsung SM-N960U1 using XDA Labs
does DeX work with any cheap HDMI to usb C adapter that supports 4k and 60 Hz? There are some on eBay for 7 bucks
dex output is crystal clear for me. I have used this on an lg 4K 27 inch monitor and my old school plasma Panasonic 3D display from 2011
I have a late spec hdmi 2.0b cable and again the resolution is not blurry at all. Plenty of videos on the web to also show the clarity .
Yes dex works with a regular hdmi spec cable usb c to hdmi. I have also used dex with just a cable (waiting on the pad tho show up)
What happens when incoming call?
Hi. Not sure where to post this. Thinking of jumping from iPhone to Note9
Can somebody tell me if I will be able to use the Note9 as a normal handset with an incoming call? (While in Dex). Everything I see indicates the acutal Note9 runs independent when docked but I can't find any example of making/receiving a call on one.
I want to use a USB extension cable and just be able to use the phone like normal when connected to Dex. Not sure what happens to the audio if I'm also using external speakers via Dex.
Thanks!

I've received several phone calls when on DeX.. Since I'm working in a personal room, I'm just answering the phone calls using speakerphone.. If you're using external speaker, the audio will be routed there (I once used my UE Boom 2 speaker for answering call)
thanks.
I know I'm still connected to Dex via a USB-C extension cable but I'd like to be able to just pick up the phone and use it "privately" like normal. Is that possible?
I believe something changed with the Note9 making it work differently with Dex.

If you're using USB-C to monitor, in my experience, you can just answer phone normally on phone
