Is it possible to connect galaxy s2 and HDTV with hdmi (mhl) adapter and at the same time use the wireless (but not bluetooth) mouse and keyboard connected to galaxy s2?
(i want to use my internet connection on galaxy s2 and browse the web with mouse and keyboard, all that on the TV)
I manage to do this separately, either Full HD via MHL adapter, or using both mouse and keyboard via Micro USB to USB converter and dongle for wireless connection. Dont know how to combine those together though.
I think that bluetooth mouse and keyboard would work, but would like to know about mentioned method.
Maybe self powered USB would help?
thx
Wireless mouse and keyboard will obviously require a USB dongle to receive, so I seriously doubt that you can do this. It's not often that you get a mobile device that is capable of being a USB host, so I find it very doubtful that you could plug multiple USB devices into it at the same time.
I know you said you don't want bluetooth, but I really, REALLY believe that this won't be possible any other way.

Hi together,
ive asked me if it is possible to use an adapter for 1x micro usb (plug) -> 2x micro usb (jack).
Could the phone handle 2 USB devices at the same time?
Maybe then it is possible to use the HDMI output and the USB host parallel?
For example to use an TV as screen and an HDD as the source for a movie.
This would be nice.
Thanks in advance.

When the connector is used for HDMI I doubt it can be used as USB at the same time, I'n sorry.
Maybe in a few months cyanogenmod provides a hack, if there will be an dual adapter soon.
We will see. Thank you.

The hardware needs to allow this if it'd become possible. You need a really smart USB dongle that knows how to split the HDMI output from the USB output.
Sounds a little too difficult to ever happen.
Hmm thats right. I think i still dream xD
But thank you.

it is not possible. because as stated on this forum many times before, the type of usb connection is determined by the resistor between pin 4 and 5 of the micro usb connector. the strength can tell the phone, that there is either a charger, a pc connection, car kit, jig, usb otg or mhl connection present.
and i believe, this is an important thing to keep in mind for so many things:
for instance, why the original car kit triggers car mode and generic car charging cables don't or why not just any micro usb male to usb a female will work as a otg cable or why flashing should be done with the original usb cable...
so if you were to buy or build a micro usb hub, since it has no resistor in the very plug that connects to the phone, it cannot be used for anything but charging and quite frankly, i wouldn't connect more than one charger to the phone.
however, if you want to use your phone for presentations or watching movies and still be able to use it, get a bluetooth keyboard and mouse or a bluetooth presenter or do it the other way around and use a usb input device and transfer your media using allshare. everything else is physically impossible, so neither CM nor XDA can do anything about it. the only device that can do what you want is the new motorola. it has a separate micro usb and micro hdmi port and a docking station, so you can use it as a full notebook.
Thats obvious. Thank you.

Got a quick question for those of you with the HD dock. Are you running dual USB devices for you mouse and keyboard, do wireless usb devices work for the dock sans drivers, or has anyone found a way to pair dual devices to have a bluetooth mouse and keyboard functional?
My dilemma is where I am planning on putting my dock, it's going to be really difficult to use wired devices because the dock is going to be located physically behind me. I need to find a way to go as wireless as possible so but at the store we were only able to pair up one bluetooth device at a time. Has anyone found a work around for that?

I've tried a couple of wireless keyboard/mouse combos plugged into the dock and neither worked. I'm currently using a powered usb hub plugged into the dock with a Logitec keyboard and mouse plugged into the hub. Works great.

Damn... That's what I was afraid of. My issue is I'm placing the dock on my nightstand located next to my bed for charging purposes. What's throwing me off is in one of the videos demoing the dock it shows them using both a wireless keyboard and mouse. It's gotta be possible, but I have no clue how. At the store we couldn't pair up two seperate bluetooth devices at the same time.
May have found a solution to my problem. At a local Compusa I found a bluetooth keyboard and trackpad in one. I'll take it to work and test it out... If it works, I'll report back.
My Logitech Wireless Desktop (USB Unifying receiver) worked fine, out of the box - keyboard and mouse.
There shouldnt be any reason that your generic wireless device/receiver combos dont work since they're simply a transmitter/receiver pair, your problem is likely with the lack of adequate power supplied by the dock. Theres no way that power supply puts out enough to power the phone as well as the USB ports so thats probably why the powered USB hub mentioned above solves everything.
so i have the multimedia dock, and unlike most other phones the atrix has USB host support, hence why we can plug in stuff like usb drives with fat32 partitions. However i've tried connecting a walmart xbox controller via usb to the multimedia dock since I need a USB port to plug into and nothing. No response, ie no buttons work no nothing.
I've also plugged in random keyboard like dell, and they work fine, hell even wireless mice over usb work fine, and provide a cursor on the home screen.
I'm mostly starting this topic because with the new Onlive system they have their own controler and I don't see what i'm missing.
Do I really need to buy a ps2 controller and connect via BT and do i need special software and can i use it like a mouse?

you can plug a ps3 controller in with the usb cable and use this app from the market.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller&hl=en
or you can also use a wii controller.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mercury.inputmethod.wpad&feature=related_apps
Both are Bluetooth compatable. And there's an app that connects them to the atrix

EDIT /This is the app I mentioned sorry for the 2nd post
What if you have a wireless xbox 360 controller, the wireless base, and a micro usb to usb a female cord to plug it all in. I get no detection. Any fix?
thanks
There is no USB driver for the Xbox 360 controller in the Atrix. In order to support it, someone needs to develop a USB driver for the Android platform for the Xbox 360 controller.
an xbox 360 wireless receiver could be connected to any device. we just need drivers. if linux drivers exist they "could" be ported.

How do they work on android tablets. There are quite a lot of videos of android tabs connecting with the xbox 360 sensor.
thanks
The Atrix needs power incoming through the USB port to enable host-mode (at least, in the stock roms; I've heard it said that this might not be necessary in android 3.0 and newer, but I have no idea.)
What this means is that nothing you plug in will work unless going through one of the docks or via an externally powered USB hub that also sends voltage back upstream. If you want to test this, try plugging in a flash drive.
(EDIT: This is directed to 1chris89, not OP, sorry.)

I've seen u have to bridge and solder the pins on the hub to get it to work? I have a 4 port usb 1.1 hub I could test it on. Otherwise is a ps3 blue tooth controller the most ideal way to use a controller on our phones?
thanks
Well, there is actually a really cheaply made hub on Dealextreme.com that does this by accident, which is what I used before I got my laptop dock.
Here's the thread on it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=997187
I use both the Wiimote and a PS3 controller on mine; it just depends on which games I'm playing.
The Wiimote is easier to set up (and there are a few free apps that work just fine) while the Sixaxis Controller app is paid, and requires configuring the controller on your computer first (manually setting your phone's bluetooth address to the controller).
SOLUTION
I have a true solution to this problem. An Ice Cream Sandwich should do the trick; the tablets you guys have seen using xbox 360 controllers are honeycomb, an os with baked in game controller support since I believe 3.1
We have a solution though in the form of convergence. 4.00 being both honeycomb and an evolution of 2.3. Try this again with a wireless controller adaptor plugged in and running CM9!!! Should have native support...

i flashed to cm9, plugged it into my laptop dock and plugged in my 360 wireless receiver and its a no-go. the receiver just keeps blinking like it did on cm7. lets hear some other suggestions, im ready to try anything
solution
The only solution to this is HD multimedia dock + Xbox controller in usb + xpad.ko in system libs ( we need one compiled for kernel being used) . if anyone can attempt compiling of this module for android 4.2.1 many people shall appreciate it. SGS3 already have this module compiled so it is possible to port over
I was wondering how do you go around to surf the internet on your big screen tv and also use an external usb mouse/keyboard?
I would need a "Micro USB Host Mode Cable" to hook the mouse/keyboard to the phone AND I also have to use a "MHL Adapter Micro USB To HDMI Converter" to see the phone in the tv and both use the one and only usb micro from the phone... Is anyone using a usb hub with usb micro to usb micro connections? Has anyone tried to use a regular usb hub to connect more than one usb device? Do you need to be rooted to do this?
I guess one option is to find a bluetooth keyboard/mouse but that seems to be expensive...
Thanks!
I know that most people us the MHL adapter for hdmi and bluetooth for keyboard and mouse.
Is there a list anywhere as far as which bluetooth mouse/keyboard works fine? I hate to go that route since I will be using the phone this way at both home and work. I dont really want to be hauling the keyboard/mouse back and forth. At least if I could connect using the usb I could use bluetooth on one place and usb in the other....
Anyway, if you can point me out to where there is a list I will appreciate it...
I still like to hear if anyone is doing this just using usb...
Anyone knows a list of proven bluetooth keyboards/mouse?
Guess not.

I bought this keyboard and mouse and it works great. You can buy it for $44 shipped (they will accept your offer).
Multi-touch is a no go, but it is still pretty slick.

Could this phone potentially be able to charge, be HDMI out and be connected to a keyboard and mouse all at the same time? Or can you only do some of these features? I Saw the video of the phone being connected to multiple devices but how about everything all at once?

It cannot be connected to MHL and USB OTG at the same time, but you can do everything you mention with an MHL adapter (which has, and requires, a charging input in order to be able to use it), and a bluetooth keyboard and mouse.

So you're telling me that it can only do Video out or read/write to USB devices but can't do both at the same time?
The reason I ask is because I'm thinking of designing a board with its own power source so that it only requires to read information from the 11 pins to accomplish everything.
I want to charge the phone, have a few USB ports and a HDMI port and have the phone interact with all. I just don't know the specs of the board or what is going on. Maybe I need to get in touch with superico.
