Hi everyone. I have this bluetooth mouse and tried to use it with my sensation (running stock ics shared by rmk40 here.
But i'm having two issues:
1) When connected to the mouse, my onscreen keyboard never appears. I think my phone recognizes it as both mouse and keyboard (it says connected to bluetooth mouse in bluetooth settings, though).
2) Left and right clicks of the mouse performs the same action (the normal left click action) while the right click is supposed to perform as "back" button.
Any ideas, fixes?
I'm experiencing the same issues with a bluetooth mouse from A4Tech, model BT-310.
The right button does not go back, instead it performs the same action as a normal click.
No on screen keyboard while using the mouse.
Did you find any fixes for this?
I am using ViperSs 1.0.0 ROM.
Nope. Found nothing.. Asked on general android section here . Hope there's someone knows the solution!
It's just so silly that ICS didn't get at least basic mouse & keyboard configuration panel : D
Google's approach to software projects is one of the worst in the entire world
I setup Daggerfall with mouse set to physical and have tried both relative and absolute and in game mouse look turned on, the problem is that i can only turn about 90 degree from left to right. When the android cursor hits the edge of the screen i can no longer turn. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be much appreciated.
you are not alone...

I have the same issue with my nexus7 and I think that most other devices will have it too... Obviously, this problem isn't specific just for daggerfall - since the android mouse pointer won't leave the screen, you can't turn in any 3D game (or scroll in strategy games... etc.).
To my knowledge, there is no way to disable android mouse pointer and I have read that google forbids apps to disable it too. I use a simple workaround which is to set the mouse pointer speed in android settings to minimum - than the mouse in dosbox moves a lot faster that the android mouse.
It won't solve the problem completely, but it makes the games playable - you still need to be careful not to hit the edge of the screen with android mouse pointer, but you can turn about 720 degrees in one direction before that happends (than you just move the cursor back to the center of the screen and continue playing...)
Unfortunately, I think that the only way to get rid of the android mouse pointer completely is to flash a custom rom which doesn't have mouse support built in at all (but of course than you couldn't use the mouse anymore - except for gaming in dosbox...)
it is ok

You are correct in that the Android OS does not expose any API's to disable the Android mouse pointer. This becomes a problem in some games, because the Android mouse pointer will not go past the screen edges, thus disabling scrolling when you are using an external mouse (ie. bluetooth mouse or touchpad on the TF101).
There are four possible work-arounds built into dosbox turbo:
1. Screen Scaling Reduction + Absolute Mouse Mode (w/Hardware mouse):
In the settings menu, try reducing the screen scaling to less than 100% (ie. 90 or 95%). This will leave a small black border around the screen. When dosbox Turbo detects that the Android Mouse pointer has entered this black border, it should then emulate the mouse at the 'edge' of the screen. This special work-around will only work in "absolute" mouse mode, as there is no easy way to emulate such behavior in relative mode.
2. Analog GamePad mouse Emulation (w/Hardware Gamepad)
In DosBox Turbo 2.1.7+ analog sticks on gamepads are automapped to mouse and joystick control. So if you plug a Logitech, XBOX, or other supported gamepad into your TF101, the right stick will control the mouse movement, while the left stick will control the joystick.
3. Virtual On-Screen Mouse Emulation (w/Virtual Joystick)
If you go to the setting Virtual Joystick -> Use Joystick as Mouse, then when you enable to virtual onscreen joystick, it will then control the on screen mouse.
4. Touchscreen Mouse (w/Touchscreen)
The final work-around is to go back to the default touchscreen mouse. Using the above screen scale reduction trick + absolute mode will allow for scrolling in games that work with absolute mouse mode. Relative mouse mode is not affected by the scrolling issue.
I'm having an issue while using DOSBox:
I can't play shooters like BLOOD etc. using the right analog stick of the Samsung Gamepad for Android (GP-EI20) which is connected via Bluetooth to my Galaxy Note 3.
Everything else works but the right analog stick is just not being recognized (simply as if there wouldn't be one).
I'd like to use the right analog stick for mouse strafing but don't know how to solve / configure this.
Any suggestions?
Im curently using a half size bluetooth keyboard paired to my phone (nexus 4) which is running RemoteDroid. That is used to forward keystrokes to my PC. Why? because I have a broken collarbone and cant use my fullsize wired keyboard properly So im using my phone as an intermediate device (BluetoothK/B->Phone->WiFi->PC) to be able to use the bluetooth keyboard. Putting the phone in close proximity to the K/B means It has a much better range and signal quality via WiFi. The phone itself also has a better bluetoooth receiver than any laptop or desktop USB bluetooth receivers ive tried, giving much more reliable keystrokes at higher typing speed than gong straight to PC
The problem is some of the keys dont work correctly and I believe its because Android is interpreting them differently. i.e. 'Tab/Delete/Insert/Home/End/num +/ num -.. etc' dont get forwarded to the PC,And some keystrokes are simply incorrect` i.e. the right shift key acts more like CTRL for some things. Shift+2 becomes " instead of @ (need to press alt 2 instead) and so on
In addition I have a touchpad on the little keyboard and that only works in a limitted fashion
Is there an app out there that can 'grab' the Android inputs of a device and remap them? so i.e. mouse click could be emulated as pressing the Enter key if I so wished
Additionally` is there a progam that can forward these 'raw inputs' to a PC via USB/WiFi/Bluetooth? remotedroid does indeed forward some inputs of key presses as best it can (arrow keys for instance) but it seems to do it 'after' the android OS (i.e. alt+tab makes the android program switch applications, rather than forwarding the 'alt' and 'tab' keys to the PC)
It does not however forward mouse inputs (havnt tried gamepad) so its not possible to use a mouse or trackpad as intended. I have to emulate a screen press (hold left click on trackpad and move the cursor across the remotedroid screen)
Hope the above makes sense, and yes im aware I could simply bluetooth directly to the PC but wheres the fun in that?
Hi,
I'm trying out a bluetooth mouse with my Galaxy Note 10.1 before purchasing a keyboard/mouse combo.
First thing I noticed that the mouse RightClick seems to be mapped to the 'Back' feature on the Note.
This means that whenever I use a Remote Desktop app, I must 'long tap' the screen to bring up the context menu.
Is there any way around this? I have read that an Asus tablet has a System setting that allows remapping from 'Back' to 'Context Menus' but I can't seem to find anything on the Note.
Thanks
Dan
I have the latest mate pad 11 pro from Huawei.
It came with physical keyboard.
When it's attached it works automatically. But it's working through Bluetooth.
So when the tablet is detached it's still working even if away. I don't get the on screen keyboard to work automatically. I have to disconnect the physical keyboard manually from settings or turn off the Bluetooth.
Any solution for that great xda.
