[Q] Use Galaxy S II as iPad touchpad/mouse? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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!

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.

that is exactly what i dont want because it requires an application installed on the PC.

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.

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] Touch Emulator for SP?

Hi to all
My question is simple does exist an emulator of TouchScreen Device for Windows Mobile Smartphone?
Like MyMobiler for PC but for Smartphone...I think this things can work on SP
Cheers!!
And Thanks for Answer
EDIT: Using A Fake Mouse with the D-Pad.
There's actually one-- Smartgear. it works on my omnia 2.. is not ideal but you can make it work. Also it crushes. But anybody is saying that so maybe it's just my phone.
good luck.

Remote calls

hi
is it possible to connect my laptop to my sensation via wifi or bluetooth and make calls or text
hope this aint a daft question its just i prefer my phone out of reach from my kids so leaving it somewhere all day but still getting to make calls and text would be great
You can text easily just search the market it has multiple options. As for calls I don't know of any off hand and think the only way would be to make the computer emulate a Bluetooth headset. Which come to think of it is something I would even like.

[Q] Question teamview, iteleport

hi guys,
My friend and i were playing poker on our computers using our tabs.
He has an ipad2 wich use iteleport
I got a galaxy tab 10.1 and i used teamview
We both succeed to play with similar controls except for one thing:
With teamview i have to drag the mouse cursor over the action button or the area i want to press
With iteleport the "touchscreen" ability stay in, making him really more efficient
Now here is the question:
Is there any other program for android that will let me control my pc WITH the possibility of using the "touchscreen" way of moving the cursor
Thanks for ur help
anyone can help ?
am sure some peoples are using another program than teamview
did you tried to use a remote desktop client li extralogic one?

am not sure i understand what you are trying to say.
Teamviewer is installed on my tab and on my pc, thats why i can take control of the pc.
what im looking for is a way to not "drag" the cursor once connected.
with teamviewer, with the tab, i have to drag the cursor
with iteleport, with the ipad, you just tap where you want the cursor to be
i guess i ask for something that doesnt exist since nobody has replyed
5 Minutes of googling and I came up with "Logmein". It's expensive, though, but it works how you want. You are able to move the mouse relatively like on Teamviewer, but you can use "absolute" input, like a touchscreen.
I also heard logmein works well

S4 and IMac

I just recently purchase an IMac and am just learning how to use it.
When I plug in the S4 to the IMac it gives tow options on the phone, I check transfer files because I want to drag and drop some songs onto the S4 but when I go to the IMac I do not see the phone showing up on it.
Any Ideas what I am doing wrong?
It was so simple on the PC before.
Thank you,
Steven

Download Android File Transfer. I'm a Mac user and this works for me. You can also try isyncr to get an iTunes like experience, although I don't use it myself. I have heard a lot of good things about it. Stay away from DoubleTwist, it only supports data transfer over WiFi because its not compatible with MTP file transferring. Kies sucks, in my experience, but may work or you too. I recomend making Kies your last option if you don't like the others.

Android File Transfer to your Mac, it allows for drag and drop. However, if you have already installed Kies, you need to uninstall it before trying to use Android File Transfer. Kies blocks it.

Android File Transfer in my opinion it is lighter weight and simple drag and drop with easy folder navigation on the phone.
