You just need to install BTInput.

Sorry the app is called BlueInput and is the same app you are using. I ended up paying for the application since it works so great. There are no extra features for the paid version that I can see besides the nag is missing when the app is started.

does that look like it's the same kb that works with blueinput ?

Can anyone recommend a full sized bluetooth keyboard (preferably with touchpad or the little IBM nub) that works with the G-Tab? Or is the best bet just to go with an inexpensive USB keyboard (and if so any models with touchpads you can recommend)?
TIA!

Freaking market isn't showing up results for that APK. ARRGGGH.
And the web based market isn't showing up my G-Tab anymore in the device list.
WTH?!? LoL

Has anyone found a different bluetooth keyboard that will work? I tried BlueInput with a microsoft 6000 series bluetooth keyboard and it would pair & connect, but it would never work.

HP bluetooth keyboard
I purchased the new bluetooth keyboard from HP, which says it should work with any HID-compatable device--and can't get the thing to work. I tried with standard settings first (both on my G-tab with Vegan 5.1, and my Evo4G) and could get it to pair, but not connect.
I then tried Blueinput, and got it again to connect, and only to pair with the keyboard--but had no function of the keyboard. I selected the input device to be Blueinput, and the keyboard made keyboard-like sounds when I hit the keys, but no info on the tablet. I selected all the options/settings I could find to select the keyboard (mainly the one mentioned above).
Has anyone else purchased the new HP keyboard (for the Xoom) and got it to work?

[Q] Xenta Bluetooth Keyboard

Hey guys!
Firstly, I wanna say that I'm a complete Android noob... so I'm sorry if this question is silly or an easy fix- I don't mean to waste anyone's time!
I bought a Xenta Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard and Stand Combo [even though it said it's for iPads, it also said that it works with some Android devices, so I decided to take a chance], and although I've managed to successfully pair the keyboard with my Eee Pad Transformer [and it shows up as a Bluetooth keyboard], I'm not able to type with it.
Would you happen to know of any way I could make this work, or would I need to return this, and hunt around for another stand/keyboard combo?
I must say, though, the Eee Pad fits the keyboard/stand very well, and it would make a great replacement for the standard Eee Pad Dock if it would just work!
Thanks in advance, and once again, sorry if I've asked a stupid question!
I am thinking of buying it too for my transformer. After paired go to keyboard and languages settings and select it as default input, try also holding down any space where you can write untill it promps you with input method selection.
let me know if that worked.
Is it a HID keyboard ?
Because my many years old ThinkOutside Bluetooth Stowaway HID keyboard works just fine.

I just received one today. It paired with no problem, BUT will NOT input to the TF101 !!!
It does NOT appear in the Keyboard/Settings ! It is shown as CONNECTED in the Wireless settings! Any help would be appreciated.
Sorry for the delay, guys. I managed to get it to work!
Basically, you need to pair the keyboard and the tablet, then download BlueKeyboardJP from Android Market.
After it's installed, enable BlueKeyboardJP from the "Language and Input" settings. BlueKeyboardJP [by default, I think] should attempt to connect to the keyboard automatically when you touch a text-entry field. So press the 'pair' button on the bottom of the keyboard again, touch a text-entry field, and the keyboard should connect and [hopefully] work perfectly!
It managed to do it with mine, and I found that, when choosing a keyboard map in BlueKeyboard, US works best, rather than any other settings.
Hope this helps!
If I'm honest, it's a very good stand and they keyboard works well. I made a few modifications to the stand part to enable it to sit back a bit more [otherwise the tablet was almost vertical when in landscape mode], but other than that, it works very well. It's very secure, and it makes a great alternative to the Asus Keyboard- especially if you don't want to lug an extra unit with a battery around.

How do you did it? That is, download BlueKeyboardJP.
I cannot find it via market (it's blocked for Asus Transformer) and using market web site neither allow me to donwload since none of my devices (HTC hero, HTC Desire or Asus Transformer) is compatible with it.
Any way to download .APK file from somewhere?
Thanks in advance.
This is very helpful to me too. Thank you very much!

[Q] Use Galaxy S II as iPad touchpad/mouse?

Hey guys!
I got an iPad 2 because of someone's success, so it's kinda emotional - long story short, I can't sell it, so I want to use it in an efficient way.
- the question: is there an app that turns my Galaxy S II into a touchpad/mouse that doesn't require software on the client's side - or is there any app that pairs my phone with my iPad in this way?
Thanks!
/pushing myself into greater heights
You might be able to pair a bluetooth mouse to the ipad and hope it works like a cursor(it works on the sgs2 i believe) but no way is there anything that will allow you to use the touchscreen on the sgs2 as a mouse for the ipad.

that looks to be using just wifi, i would prefer bluetooth without a client-server system
I use gmote.

Sorry, I had my add post window up before your post showed up for me, so I did not see your added criteria, and you didn't have this criteria in your original post.
Also, through a quick search of the market and google, I couldn't find ANY that don't have to install some kind of server software on the pc you are attempting to control.

[Q] Apple wireless keyboard on cyanogen mod 9

Hey there!
I tried to get an Apple wireless keyboard working on my 7500 running the 3G ICS kang. The device pairs up, but pressing keys doesn't do anything. If I remember right you needed the official samsung keyboard app to make keyboards work, would having it installed help?
Sorry if this was already answered, searched google and forum search isn't working for me for some reason ... so, can anyone tell me how to get it to work? =)
Hmm strange, it's working now, seems like a reset was all that was needed and now it works just splendit.
Even stuff like ctrl+c, ctrl+v works fine, didn't think that would work out of the box. The only thing that doesn't work is function keys, but I never thought that would be the case.
So if a moderator sees this, you can probably just delete this whole thread
- Happily typed this on my new Apple wireless keyboard =)

CloudOn

Hi friends
This app seems like a good document editor for MS office and pdf, the user interface looks decent and there are dropbox, Google drive integration.
I'm curious on trying this app, but my Tablet isn't eligible for the download due to region restrictions.
Could a kind soul grab the app for me on Google Play and post the apk here?

works on my HTC flyer, couldn't DL it from the play store...
Works on my Transformer Prime in Belgium ^^
It's incredibly amazing, though also paaaaaaainfully slow... not the connection, just the interface. I'd mainly need this for Excel (haven't found an Android Office suite that does XY scatter plots!) but the sluggishness would need some getting used to on my otherwise very fluid device.
The interface is pretty annoying to get around in, since it's so cramped. Luckily my dock's touch pad can help with that. What's weird thuough, is that it doesn't recognize some physical keyboard-specific inputs, like arrow keys. You'd think they might have tested for that?

Gratitude!!
seems like a cool app. But i guess it will take another 5 years until someone releases this in my country... I mean with keyboard layout and language support and everything.
Thank you!
I have been a using Kingsoft and this is going to replace it!

Thank you very much for posting, running on toro gnex with JB PA ROM
There was an update for Cloudon posted in July, does anyone have this version? Can't get it from the play store on my phone or my tablet (HP Touchpad). I need it for school, my laptop is in for warranty and I don't have a lot of spare time to sit in a lab, I have to work while taking a bus.
Edit: Version 2.0.7.33 is the latest.
Thanks.
please update
Please update apk

Could someone with a tablet upload the latest .apk
I got latest phone version through my old HTC Desire(Bravo) but when I install it on my Padfone 2(Which does not have official support for this app yet) it only enables the phone version of this app.
While the version posted up here enable the tablet mode but because they are to old it won't let me login. Giving me an error that these version of the app are to old and no longer supported.
If anyone is interested the phone .apk I can upload it.

Nyko Playpad connection issues

I'm running stock and can't seem to be able to connect this controller. It says " PAIRED BUT NOT CONNECTED". I have two of them and neither one of them want to connect. Could this be a tablet issue or controller issues?

This could be related to your Android version. I know Android 4.0 ICS added some additional bluetooth support. If you can test it on an Android 2.x phone and it works then this is evidently not the problem.
You can always try Hive ROM -- shameless plug I know. I updated some configuration scripts as well as an APK which might have broadened support.

You can take a refresher course by watching this video. There are actualy three videos in the zero-to-hero series -- and it sounds like you might only need perform what is in the final one.
