Hi, I'm really interested on using my laptop keyboard to type things on my android phone. And so does playing emulators with it.
But how to connect wirelessly from laptop to phone (vice versa)?
I mean where to go to input settings on the se keyboard to change from the stock se keyboard to WiFiKeyboard?
Or maybe a tutorial on how to connect it via adb command?

Hi,
i am using free "WiFi Keyboard" by Ivan Volosyuk from marker.
only i use it mostly via USB cable, and have written bat file:
chdir C:\Program Files (x86)\Android Commander\bin
adb forward tcp:7777 tcp:7777
Start "" "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" "127.0.0.1:7777"
First line to your adb.exe
Third line launches your browser.
First when you type you have long click text-box and select input method WIFI keyboard, only then above will work.
Depending on what you are planning to do, you could use sms control center via wifi. I use this daily via usb and have just now been using it with wifi and it works very well. It's only to send/receive sms through your PC and it's free. Step by step is in the program itself if I' not mistaking, otherwise just ask.
I've also used "android screencast" to control my phone, but this time connected via USB only. Keyboard and mouse also only work when the phone is rooted. Android screencast

and i can use the fpse emulator and map the keys on my keyboard.
it is much easier to play with my laptop keyboard now

Hi, you can get it from many places, Google SDK and so on.
I use one from SuperOneClick from the times i rooted older phone, but you can find it in many places there, look for the pack where it had fastboot, adb and drivers.
That is just .exe file which makes your computer communicate to your phone.
Be sure to check keyboard options in settings to enable wifi keyboard first.

then i conncect the ps2 controller to the ps2 to usb adapter, then connect it to the usb to micro usb adapter, and then connect it to our phone from the usb to micro usb adapter.

I would love to be able to use my phone as a bluetooth keyboard and mouse for my media center (ps3, xbox media center), but cannot find any info about this..
I guess it would be up to the bluetooth drivers, and to my understanding, that was the big issue with bluetooth file transfer on pre 2.x android roms.
So i wonder, is this at all possible?
I am no programmer, so i couldnt possibly do this myself, so the question is merely hypothetical.
It would be nice to use the hero screen as a multitouch trackpad for my htpc with two finger rightclick and scroll as on my macbook but that would probably be asking for too much
I'd say it's possible, but I doubt that those BT profiles are included in the SDK, so it wouldn't be easy at all. It might only be possible on rooted phones.
A multitouch trackpad for a PC wouldn't be hard at all. I had an app like that (I can't remember what it was called, and it certainly wasn't as good as a mac's trackpad) but it worked over WiFi instead of bluetooth. I think it had keyboard as well... hmm..

Gmote does this, although i can't recall whether it supported MT. and i can't get the server to start on my pcs anymore, it is throwing some java errors, but i had it working in the past, and it was kinda decent as a touchpad.

Gmote has similar features, but it does act like generic bluetooth keyboard to be hooked with any bluetooth device, that support bluetooth keyboards. You have to install the server side part, which is not possible for devices like WDTV Live, which I would like to use.
If you want to control your xbox media center you could always search for xbmc-remote on the market.. I'm pretty sure it's for WiFi only though.. :/

As of now I could connect S60 device as mobile to laptop.
but its little bit unstable, let see how it goes with mobile as bt keyboard and mouse as well.
BlueputDroid does this. It is working for me to use my Backflip as a BT keyboard for my Nook Color (though it's a little quirky for me)

Just for info - it requires a rooted phone with a custom ROM like Cyanogenmod to work
Damn doesnt work on Windows 7
Thanks for that info, I was wondering the same thign for the NookColor
Are u looking for a mouse in phone? I did not follow the thread but if u need that u can find different app in android market such as v:mote or ' mouse in blue'
hope this help
Hey all, new here, havnt searched your entire site for this yet, found this thru the goggles so sorry if considered old thread....
Anyone have updated info on this? I want to use htc desire g7 on android 2.2. to type on xbox, anywhere on xbox, like an always on handy dandy controller...
I can only seem to dig up (and been trying for a little while now) info on tethering your xbox TO your 3g android...
or stuff kinda but not really...
thanks nd look forward to learning a ****load of stuff on this site!!
(i love first time posters, so innocent, and polite, and freakin woooorddyy)
"GENERIC bluetooth mouse/keyboard"
Note "generic" word in the initial post. That means no server applications. I suppose it should work like this: I run the app on my android device and then my pc (or whatever) should be able to detect new bluetooth mouse/keyboard. Does such app exist?
I have searched google play and found nothing. Such app would be extremely useful, I would buy it immediately!
Advanced Touchpad(Remote Mouse)

I think you mean it requires a client. If you want a service without a server, you are doing it wrong.

I mean it requires custom application running on the computer. That is not generic bt, so its crap.

I get WARNING: BLUETOOTH STACK HAS DIFFERENT IMPLEMENTATION
Hi,
I've been wondering, I remember with my Sony Ericsson P990i that there was a program I could install on my PC that would have a window which mimic'd the phone and allowed me to remotely control the phone. This was great while the phone was docked as I could type out messages and everything with my computer and not have to un-dock the phone. Is there any program or method of achieving a similar solution for the Streak?
Thanks!

..... and nevermind, after trying, its upside down, and the touch controls dont work... stupid streak, lol
Hi jmhalder,
Thanks for the reply.....so androidscreencast doesn't work with the Streak?
Any other options or a way to get this to work?

jmhalder - how have you managed to get this to work at all with your Streak (got it right this time) as I keep on getting:

I've installed Java SDK 6 and everything seems to be working and I've installed Android SDK to my C drive and I've ran adb devices and it sees my phone (on my Windows 7 64-bit). However, whenever I run any other command (e.g. adb remount) I get the line "error: closed"
I've tired this with the Dell Suite installed and uninstalled, as well as having the phone unrooted and rooted Any ideas?
No idea, it worked on mine, rooted and on 2.1... but the screen was upside down and it wouldn't let me control it via cursor actions on the PC... I've only had the "error: closed" with a borked install of android on my streak where it wasn't bootable... I'd make sure the "tools" folder is listed in your PATH...:

jmhalder do you think it may have something to do with you having a US astreak and Keethos having a UK model?
There's a VNC server in the Market for rooted Android devices. It worked pretty well from mthe limited testing I did.

I know I can use VNC to control my PC via my phone but can I do the same the otherway round i.e. use my PC to control my phone via VNC?

Yes, that's what a VNC "server" is, and why root is required. Your Streak is the server, being remote controlled by your PC. Sort of like the Soti remote controller from the WinMo days (if you were ever there).
I didn't test/play with it much, not sure how functional it was.
Search for VNC in the market, it should be there.
^^ Cool dude, I might give that a try then!
I've actually managed to get it working now....I had a quick search on how to screen capture and a lil guide said to turn on USB debugging on the phone which I had completely forgot about and after doing so it started workin Now a way to try and get the rest of the app to work i.e. the upside down screen and controls
EDIT:
Ooo managed to get the controls to work YAY this was probably the main thing that I wanted to work, not overly fussed about the screen being upside down as I can just look at the phone while I type. I had to give full read and write permission to the "/data/dalvik-cache" folder (ticking the read and write of others as all other boxes were ticked), and all of a sudden it start to work.

Sorry dude, it's the android screen cast thing, spent all night trying to get it working so not managed to try out the VNC thing. Might give that a go tonight.
Hello,
I had previously a program for moving just the mouse on my pc, but i can't find such a program now. I have remote desktop program, but i dont want to take remotely control, i would want to be able to use the computer' s mouse from my Android.
Can someone please let me know a simple progran for this?

GMote lets you use the screen as a touchpad for your computer. It doesn't transfer the addendum image, so you have to be able to see your monitor/display when using it.
Not sure on if you can use a software keyboard, but if your device has a hardware keyboard you can use it to type as well.

RemoteDroid turns your phone into a wireless keyboard and mouse with touchpad, using your own wireless network. good luck..
try unified remote,nice..
So. I got a rather special question:
When I pair my ps3 (original) Controller to my tablet via USB it immediately works and tells me I can pull the cable and it works.
However, I'd like to achieve the same or something similar with my phone or other Android devices (w/o extra apps like sixaxis). So I'd like to know if anyone can point me to the files which are responsible (libs, drivers, ...) for that to maybe make it possible on other devices.
Look in vendor/app and system/app. Should be some apks with controller sign. Not sure about libs

If you put that apk on another phone and plug it in via usb it immediately gets killed and a message come up saying (device consumes to much power disconnected) there is an app on the market that lets u connect ps3 controller tho!!

You're using a tablet made by Sony, to connect to a controller also made by Sony. You would be absolutely deluded to think you could just "get it to work" without extra apps or hacks. The code required would be embedded across multiple locations and would be propriety so it would never see the light of day to the public.
Hey! I am currently using the wireless keyboard in PC. But there is no way to open BIOS with wireless keyboards.
I am having rooted android device where I successfully tried to install windows 10 in past by mounting iso file as Live CD drive using DriveDroid. I want to use it as a physical keyboard in a similar way.
Is there any app for that? Is there any way to give keyboard commands from android as a physical wired keyboard instead of using apps like "Remote Mouse" but similar apps like "DriveDroid"?
Quick response, most appreciated.
