[Q] Use BT mouse with GT 10.1?

Hi,
I recently got my Galaxy Tab. Having around an Apple wireless keyboard and a Magic Mouse, I decided to give them a try with the tab (I know it is a little ironic to use those two together given the legal war that is going on between the two companies ).
The keyboard worked perfectly (it paired and connected at first try).
The mouse also paired and connected at first try, but it just doesn't work. I am not getting a cursor, as it happens on my gf's GT P1000.
Anyone ever tried or made it work with an apple mouse or any other bluetooth mouse? Any ideas or workarounds? Thanks!
Regards,
Marius
Yes,...it works fine
I have a the Kensington Slimblade BT mouse and it works fine. This maybe a bit old technology, since I have it more than a year (using it also on my laptop)
I also have the small Apple BT keyboard - and it also works....sort-of. Sometimes te keys seems to get stuck and since it is created for the Apple envirnment, there are some 'dead keys' and some options missing.
I use my Dell compact BT mouse with no issues. I also use a Logitech diNovo keyboard. The two BT devices almost turn my GTab into a mini desktop.
The Apple Magic Mouse won't work...this is a known issue. It will pair but that's it.
The Apple Bluetooth Keyboard works fine with the 10.1. I've had no problems and like using it.
I've had no problems with Mircosoft's 5000 Bluetooth mouse pairing and operating the Tab. It makes for a great remote control!
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I have a similar issue. I bought a Speedlink Snappy SL-6158 Bluetooth mouse for approx 10 dollar and was thrilled to see it work on my Galaxy S3, so I thought it would work on my Tab2 as well. Wrong thinking. It paires just fine, but it will not show a cursor and does not react on the buttons.
Is there any solution for this problem, or did I just wasted 10 bucks?
I use a cheap bt mouse I got eBay and works fine here too...

Could you tell me what type of mouse this is?
And can anybody tell me if this can be solved by rooting and using a custom rom?

[Q] Bluetooth Keyboard Recomendations?

Looking for Bluetooth keyboard recommendations.
Tried a Freedom with an old blackberry I had (way back when), but didn't function very well.
Seriously doubt it would work with my SGS2, but I'll give it a shot once I'm back in the office.
Anyone have any experience?
Foldable or compact is a bonus
Best I've tried so far is the HP Touchpad Bluetooth Keyboard. Works great with any and all android, iOS, and other Bluetooth devices.

No luck with my original freedom.
No drivers to load with android.
Anyone else have any luck with the modern Freedom keyboards?
Road whore that needs something a bit more compact....
Logitech DiNovo Mini works perfectly with the SGSII. I use it esp when I have my phone plugged into the TV. Works perfectly.
I use a cheap microsoft bluetooth keyboard. Not exactly portable but it gets the job done.
I have one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/Original-Bluetooth-Wireless-Keyboard-Touchpad/dp/B004723V1M/ref=sr_1_27?ie=UTF8&qid=1320187017&sr=8-27
This works great with the SGS2 as well as any computer with BT and also the Playstation 3.
The mousepad will even give you a cursor on the SGS2 screen.
Even has a built in laser pointer.
Pay close attention to the pairing procedure as it is a little tricky.
Atrix Bluetooth Keyboard Works
This keyboard works great except that when you press SHIFT to capitalize a letter, it stays locked until you type another letter and backspace over it. I'm thinking of returning it. Otherwise, it's nice to have all the dedicated keys for Android on the keyboard.
Did u have to do anything special to connect ur hp keyboard, because mine pairs but wont connect. Any ideas?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
I have the HP as well, works perfectly with our phone. Now here's the bad.news it won't connect at all on 2.3.6 custom.or stock firmware. Bluetooth hid is broken it's not just the keyboard but mouse or anything else Bluetooth.hid. You can always revert back to.any 2'3.4 rom and it will be fine. Now.if for some reason your on.2.3.4 and can't get it to connect let me know and I'll trouble shoot it with you. Mine pairs also in 2.3.6 but it can't connect because no bthid

Bluetooth Keyboards?

Has anyone had any luck pairing Bluetooth keyboards with the DX2?
I was looking at one of the mini-BT keyboards on Amazon.
I was wondering if anyone had already tried a similar device and knew for a fact that HID Keyboards would pair correctly with a Droid X2 (No Root)
Or is there a better small BT keyboard out there?
I was wondering the same thing. I'm probably going to buy the one by Verbatim. It has a nice carrying case. I'll let you know how it is.

I've got a motorola bluetooth keyboard and it pairs with my x2 just fine. I'm running cm7 now but I've tried most of the roms available and it's worked fine with any of them. Biggest problem is figuring out all the shortcut keys. A google search will help ya out there though.
Just experimented with this myself today. I got it to work using a Logitech MediaBoard Pro. Worked nice because it has a small touchpad built in. Usually use it with my PS3, but had it hooked up to my TV via HDMI and was surfing around. Kinda nice, because I can just dock it in the media dock, then sit back on the couch and control it.
I'm on stock 2.3.4.
I can confirm that bluetooth HID devices work quite well. I am typing right now from my Zippy bluetooth keyboard and I am also paired with a bluetooth mouse. They are both HID devices and I have tried this setup while I was on my stock rooted DX2 2.3.4, and now that I am running Eclipse 2.04. By the way the zippy keyboard was the cheapest I could find about a year ago and it gets the job done. Oh this also work in tandem with an HDMI connections to my tv.

[Q] ICS keyboard/mouse recommendations?

I am hoping some of you fellow tablet owners out there could help me out. ^-^
I'm looking to buy a keyboard and mouse for my Ice Cream Sammiched tablet, but I just want to be sure I don't waste my money. I plan on using them for my PC as well so I won't be buying Android specific accessories.
I have a couple items in mind already, but I'm open to anything that you guys personally recommend as long as it works.
Could anyone confirm if the Apple Magic Mouse and Bluetooth wireless keyboard work?
I could probably pull off building a kernel if the repo is open just to try some drivers that I've seen around...but honestly I haven't looked at any of that stuff for the Tab 10.1.
If the Magic Mouse is a no go then I was looking at this Logitech mouse.
And if anyone has any alternative suggestions to the Apple keyboard that work with ICS I'm also open to those.
If it's not too much to ask I'm also interested in knowing what doesn't work on mice and keyboards.
Thanks!

If keyboard is bluetooth then will work with tab 2 without otg but u knw there are bluetooth keyboards that u must put a usb into ur device so that they work wirelessly
That needs otg abt the smart tv idk as I dont have one
I have 3 USB ports on my TV, so there wont be problem with it, i just needed to know if tab 2 supports BT keyboards
Of course
ok, and can somebody recommend me something better than Logitech K400
I tried the k400. I took it back. You need OTG cable to use K400 with our tabs.
I use Rii RT-UMK-100-BT. Its like a mini K400. I like it a lot.

I bought the Play Station 3 Keyboard (Bluetooth) - it works. I bought it for only 10 € (last one in the shop )
Only Problem - No German Layout possible without an app using "External Keyboard Helper" will fix it.
I´m on Galaxy Tab 2.7 CM 10.1.1 ; same problem on a P5110 Stock (no root).
Any ideas how to get it work without an app (German QWERTZ) ?
something in the build.prop?
Changing ro.product.locale.language=en and ro.product.locale.region=US to ro.product.locale.language=de and ro.product.locale.region=DE ?

No it depends on the rom you are using because the languages are in the csc folder and I am BUMPING THIS THREAD
Im using a Bluetooth Keyboard from ANKER.
Perfect layout, quite small, fast connected almost perfect!
ANKER Keyboard
I love it and use it to write a book
OK, it's an old topic, but anyway... Microsoft Wedge BT keyboard works perfectly for me. The only thing I don't like about it is the protruding part at the bottom (where the battery compartment is) -- I would prefer a flat design. But functionally, it's a great keyboard.

Those are NOT bluetooth keyboards -- they use proprietary RF transceivers. If it really is a BT peripheral, you don't need to plug in anything extra, as long as your host is BT-capable.
Cheap option...but
I bought a "aluminum" keyboard for my Tab 2 7. In reality it was plastic with an aluminum color. It fits the tab as a case and is BT. It works fine and I payed all of US $15.
The down side is the keys are very small so no way for my fat fingers to touch type. If I don't look and concentrate I hit 2 keys at a time. But I have been using it for the last 9 months.
Found it on Ebay.
