Is there a way to emulate G1 trackball via Atrix soft keyboard?
ConnectBot uses trackball for arrows/cursor movement, CTRL/ESC sequences etc.
Any help appreciated since now I have to go back to G1 for any ssh work ...
Whenever I connect my mini bluetooth keyboard, a mouse pointer comes up in the middle of the screen. The keyboard doesn't have any controls for the mouse (I think) and there is no way to get rid of it without disabling the bluetooth keyboard.
Does anyone know of anyway to disable the mouse pointer or hide it somehow? I am on 2.3.3

EDIT: Changed ROM to Exynos Extreme 3.2, mouse pointer gone now
Yea, I have the same issue... Anyone know of a fix?
Not a fix as such ...
I have one of the cheap EBay bluetooth keyboards but I don't have this problem. In other words, my keyboard identifies itself to the phone just as a keyboard, your one obviously claims to be a mouse as well.
I'd say you have 2 options:
Maybe, just maybe, somewhere in Settings -> Wireless and network ->Bluetooth Settings under Bluetooth devices, you will be able to modify the settings for your keyboard: Press and Hold the device and click on options. I have a tickbox for "HID device" only - you may have something else for pointing device?
Maybe your keyboard has a mouse-type device on it. Assuming there isn't a obvious d-pad somewhere, maybe it's a 2-key combination involving the use of some "magic" key along with the arrow keys. If you can figure it out, then just move the pointer out of the way, and you're good!

Unfortunately I only have one profile in the bluetooth settings as well. There is a D-pad on the keyboard on the WASD keys but when using them all it does is cycles through the context menus.
Is there an app that would allow me to control the mouse pointer by touch or by binding the directions to keys on the keyboard? I've searched but found zilch
I have exactly the same problem on a galaxy s 1 with gingerbread and would love to know of a fix. I tried to find an app to move the pointer to the right edge of the screen but I couldn't find anything.
I have the exactly same problem as you all. I've got a Samsung Galaxy S with Android 2.3.3 on it and a keyboard which identifies itself as "Bluetooth mini Keyboard" (cheap from ebay). It works as it should, but there's this annoying mouse pointer in the middle of the screen and I have no idea how to disable it -.-
I guess I'm just going to have to invest in a decent keyboard/controller until this issue is resolved, does anyone know of any good ones specifically for NES and PS1 emulators and the like
I've fixed this now, if anyone is having the same problem I noticed the mouse does not appear when using the Exynos Extreme ROM.

Great to hear that there is a fix for this...
But as that ROM is for SGS2 owners I just wounder if anyone got
rid of this issue on a SG I9000?
Would be great with an easier fix than flashing with a specific ROM,
evnt though I think I'll do that if that's the only route to go!

Thanks in advance!

Apparently the mouse pointer is hard coded with samsung roms. There are a few non-samsung roms out there that have a pointer.png in the framework.apk that could be edited, but unfortunately samsung roms do not have this png. I've scoured several apk's in the system folder and none of them have it. I've also searched and installed every possible app in the market that may have been able to move the pointer, but none of them worked. They were mostly wifi apps to control a PC mouse.
I've been trying to resolve this issue for weeks and have come to the conclusion that no one knows or cares to take the time to figure it out. I even got in a fight with someone because he felt I was the only one with this issue and was complaining that there wasn't a fix.
There's a bunch of bt keyboards out there that cause the mouse pointer to appear, so there's a strong chance that someone with some technical skill will be able to resolve it someday...probably after the "official" gingerbread release. In the meantime, try to find the cheapest bt mouse you can get your hands on and move it out of the way.
Hi all,
We have written an application that uses Geoframework 2.0 to bring GPS coordinates for us. We use it to track some of our vehicles and sits nicely alongside our in house app. We are currently using HTC Touch 2.
The problem I have is that the GPS coordinates stop working and the only method of starting them again is doing a soft reset. Does anyone know how to stop and start an internal GPS driver. I would like to control this from onside our app If I have to ditch the geoframework for another driver I do not have an issue doing that.
Your help will be very much appreciated.
Regards
Ifti.
I recently passed to ICS LP3 (Intratech's Frankenstein one). Everything seems to work fine but the mouse. Previously, on my KI4 (GB 2.3.4), I was able to connect a mini-Trust mouse: it had been recognised from the phone, left click → tap, right click → back and centre click → menu.
Now:
I am not able anymore to pair the USB mouse;
Even worse, my BT Microsoft mouse does pair but all the three buttons do the same tapping function! Is this a nightmare?
Does anyone have a solution for at least the second point? Otherwise, while the phone is connected to the TV through the HDMI, I am not able to navigate properly with the only aid of the mouse!
Many thanks indeed to who can help me
No one has any opinion or idea? Am I the only one who is using his phone connected to the TV from his sofa?!
Easy solution
OK, I found a temporary solution..
Using the Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 there is available also a back button which works properly. Anyway, on Gingerbread, everything was definitely more logical with the three different options: tap, back and menu on the left, right and centre buttons.
Samsung's ICS sucks..

No, ICS sucks. For now..

I've been looking for a way to control my mouse and keyboard on my TF300, and have had little to no luck finding anything that works correctly.
I run Synergy for my PCs to switch control between PCs, but have not been able to effectively replicate this using any software packages.
So far I've tried:
1. Synergy for Android Beta .003
The problem with this application is that it is erratic, unstable, and the mouse hardly works (you can see the cursor if you really look for it, but it's usually shoved in the top 5 pixels of the screen). Moving the mouse anywhere usually kicks you back to the desktop on your PC.
2. ShareKM
Same problem as Synergy, only without the erratic part. Synergy will actually lock up your table by sticking the cursor on the first item in each list so you can access nothing. This problem is not present in ShareKM, but the mouse issue is.
3. TakeControl
Same issue as ShareKM
Does anyone know of an app solution that actually works for this tablet?
