I'm trying to use the Rezound like a mobile pc (eg. being able to output to a monitor, connect a portable BT keyboard, and BT mouse functionality). Then I can use it anywhere to take notes, browse, or do work via teamviewer or Logmein like a desktop.
I have the MHL>HDMI out to my monitor, looks awesome.
I have my portable stowawy BT keyboard (from my PDA days) paired to the Rezound using KeyPro app.
Both good so far... haven't fully tested the all the setup on the KeyPro app; but all the letters and numbers work for quick typing on the BT keyboard.
Paired/connected the Dell BT travel mouse with the rezound; but no mouse pointer...
This is my only drawback.
Is there an app that will get the BT mouse to function like a mouse (eg. with the mouse pointer) on the rezound?
If I get it to work, then I don't need to carry my notebook... generally, I can use the MHL>HDMI out (works), BT keyboard (works), and BT mouse (currently paired/connected but not working correctly).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I'm on Ineffabilis v1.0 GB Rom and dbs9938 kernel if that's relevant.
I believe your problem is that anything below honeycomb doesn't include a pointer/cursor because it's a phone OS, not a tablet OS. To get a cursor you'd most likely need to flash an ICS rom in order to get a cursor.

I guess you're right, either ICS or CM which isn't available at the moment for rezound. Was hoping an app or mod as i have seen lower OS with CM have this feature. Thanks.

There is ICS for the rezound... I have been on it for almost a month.
So have I. Nils is very stable.

Has anyone successfully run a BT keyboard, mouse, and headset while in webtop mode? I'm curious what the Atrix will sync with all at the same time and what brand(s) to purchase...
Yes. I had my old school Jawbone on, along with my Micro$oft Bluetooth Mobile 6000 keyboard+keypad, and a Connectland MS-173-BT mouse. They all worked just fine in webtop mode.
Awesome news. Found some pretty good prices for bluetooth mice/keyboards online.
Motorola actually has their own bluetooth keyboard marketed for Xoom/Atrix.

Has Android Home Back Menu and Search Buttons integrated. Kind of expensive though.
yep my bt keyboard worked perfectly

I know there are apps to you can download to turn your cell phone into a wireless mouse for your PC, in fact I have one and it works great.
Does anyone know of an app that will do the same thing but be able have a mouse pointer on your Prime using your cell phone as the mouse. I've searched the marked and googled it and get nothing.
If there is not an app like this maybe one of you guru developers here can make one. That would be awesome.
I think this should work with the client and server installed

Mobile mouse works great, if you're just looking to control the mouse functions. There's also LogMeIn, if you're looking for more functionality (remote desktop type stuff).
These work on a PC, but I'm not sure how well, or if these would work on the TFP.
I have a app that controls my computers mouse pointer from my phone. What I'm looking for is an app like that but to put a mouse pointer on my Prime and be able to control the pointer from my phone. So it would really be an app that creates a mouse pointer on the Prime and is controlled by the phone. This way I could sit back and control my Prime while connected via HDMI on my bigscreen and not have a long HDMI cable or have to get up to mess with the tablet.

That works just fine. I found it while looking to use my phone as a BT keyboard to use cheats in GTA III. Mouse also works.

So will this app put a mouse pointer on the Prime and control said cursor from the phone? I'm not really going to use my phone as a game controller what I really want is a cursor on my Prime to control it like it was in the dock (I don't have a dock) remotely.
That's two apps that need root to work so I may be closer to rooting if one of these will do what I want.
This is something I always look for in my phones, maybe im one of few . I can say that HID profiles are supported and have tested with a portable bluetooth keyboard which works perfectly- no connection issues dropouts or weird quirks. I also tested out my bluetooth mouse which also paired without a problem, however its use was not ideal (but thats ok). There was no mouse cursor so it was awkward trying to select or click. The mouse was more like and external bluetooth finger if that that makes sense. The mouse like the finger and the table like the screen. I guess functionality of bluetooth mice wasn't really a large concern if at all. But id say good enough especially for the keyboard
Stock 2.3.4
I have been able to use a Bluetooth mouse on ics, and it does show a cursier. Now all I need is a mhl adapter and I'm going to start using this thing as my desktop

I have the Logitech keyboard and mouse for Android tablets, and they WILL NOT play nice together. If I use the mouse, I can't use the keyboard as neither will stay connected, knocking the other out of the connection. I am using rooted, but stock HC 3.2.1 ROM, and this is VERY annoying as I wanted to use it as a laptop replacement and using touchscreen with keyboard is a pain.
When using both, if I move mouse while typing, the keys will stuck and you get words like thiiiiiiiiiiiiiis.
I am able to simultaneously use a Dell Axim bluetooth keyboard and a Dell branded bluetooth mouse with my Stock Honeycomb HTC Flyer. Works like a charm.

I also have the Motorola keyboard + mouse set, and I can report that I can't use the mouse at all. It pairs but never connects.
However, I did try to pair with another mouse and I got the same result as you. Separately, each device worked properly. Together, the mouse knocked the keyboard constantly. I ended up giving up on the mouse, the keyboard is more important
I did send a message to HTC about this problem, and they said the Flyer is probably not compatible with certain devices or certain combos of devices. Standard BS response.

I have this problem, and I have had it before. I am trying to have a desktop replacement via my tablet connecting to desktop as needed. I really need to use a mouse and keyboard, preferably without cumbersom cables. I have an original xoom, this happened on the old ROM and now the JB rom I loaded. If I try to use my bluetooth mouse almost every word eeeeeeeeeeeendsssssssss upppppppppp liiiiiiiiiiiikkee tttttthhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiis. And forget trying to use backspace to correct any mistake, as the backspace key sticks and usually deletes EVERYTHING you typed before you can backup over the 5-10 extra letter repeats you used.
I am surprised this isn't addressed somewhere, I have had this so many times on this and my other tablets. I have even tried various bluetooth keyboard and mice. Even worse, the new microsoft sculpt mouse detects as a keyboard and a mouse, and the "use physical keyboard" button doesn't work (if you click off, it just stays on and shows on, no matter what I do. So if I even attempt to use this new mouse, I can't even get the on-screen keyboard to work.
Right now I have to either use the mouse (and turn the mouse off to type on screen), or turn the mouse off and keyboard on while I type something up. I'm almost in tears as I am partially disabled, and all my attempts to ease myself back into using a computer, I run into new issues.
In short, I can't buy anything new, I really need to use this Xoom for now. I can't use a USB device well, it is too cumbersom, I can't dock it and use the USB, I need to stick with bluetooth. I have a Microsoft Mobile Bluetooth keyboard 6000 and a Microsoft Sculpt Keyboard.
I have tried an app called keyboard helper pro, but it doesn't work at all.
I can use a different ROM, but I would really prefer a newer one as the extra keys and mouse features seem to pass through (such as using the right mouse button, instead of having to hold the left button down, when connected to my desktop.)
Any pointers? I heard something about the bluetooth stack being changed. I haven't found out what/why/how the windows key and right mouse button work (they didn't in older android versions).

Has anyone used bluetooth keyboard and mouse with this phone?
L9 doesn't support usb otg, well at least the kernel doesn't. If you know what I mean.

I tried bluetooth keyboard with a little touchpad and is great. Writing works fine. What about mouse?
It's awensome because a small arrow appear when i touched the pad!
A small desktop in your hand!
Just one thing about keyboard... The softkeys of the phone are mapped in a strange way and i have to search the right combination for a while

use pc for mouse Sorry.... was kidding.
As per L9 spec... we have BlueTooth Version 4.0 (GAP, A2DP, AVRCP, FTP, HFP, HSP, OPP, SPP, PBAP,HID). You can use almost any device which supports these standards. Any BT Device which can be recognized as Human Interface Device (HID) can be used, including mouse. It will work exactly like your old BT keyboard with old phone. No change.
VIDEO FOR KEYBOARD HERE
The fact is nobody asked this for mouse before, hence you are first person (in my life) who is interested in connecting mouse to touchscreen smartphone. You can go ahead and make a history.... :laugh:
