Hey everyone-
Before you say this just let me say that I've already tried the IP webcam app that acts a wireless webcam from your phone to pc. The app worked and I was able to see the stream from my phone in my browser, but I couldn't get it to display the stream in skype (although it did detect the webcam, the screen was just black. Anyway, I've been trying to figure out a way to connect my Vibrant to my PC via the usb cable and use it as a WIRED webcam, so that it would be picked up as an external webcam by windows. The only reason I prefer to go wired is because of the fact that I'm trying to get rid of any frame lag between when I speak/move and when the computer shows it, which I assume would be eliminated by a wired connection. If anyone has any ideas, let me know, thanks.
-Much ablidged,

Any help? Thnx again
I definitely would love to know the answer to this also, although I admit I did not search google for results. I just ran across your post and now I'm curious.

it may work as video out, but not strictly as hardware like a regular video cam. Meaning you will need the special cables and a capture card on the computer......
When you say it might work as video out, what do you mean exactly? I realize it may not pick it up as a usb webcam automatically, but is there any way to trick into thinking it is a wired webcam or something similar with a piece of software or something?
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've posted in other threads about lag i've been experiencing (here, here and here).
As soon as i enable HDMI out the bluetooth keyboard and mouse start lagging and stuttering very badly. This happens with mirror mode (NON-Mod) or Webtop via Nebtop (Root App) or Fenny's mod(replacement APKs). I've run the fastboot on my phone to bring it back to non root stock and i've updated to the 748 VZW OTA update but i still get this issue even just using mirror mode.
Could someone else test this with their RAZR? I'd like to know if it's something defective with my device or with all RAZRs.
The reproduction steps are simple:
1. Pair a bluetooth HID Mouse or Keyboard
2. Connect the input device
3. Connect HDMI
4. Choose output mode (Webtop via hack or Mirror mode with no hacks required)
5. Try to type a text or move the mouse pointer around
I've tried this with different Monitors and televisions and also with different bluetooth mice and keyboards. I haven't found a combination which works smoothly yet. I also posted this issue in the Motorola owners forum. Not too much response there quite yet.
Thanks for the help if anyone can provide it!
I have just ordered my mini HDMI cable. It should be in on weekend so i will keep you posted on my results.
Got my dock station today and will be getting a Bluetooth keyboard in a couple days. I will report back as well.
UPDATE _ Been using the dock station with a Microsoft Bluetooth keyboard and a really cheap USB wireless mouse. The keyboard has no lag at all but the mouse lags a bit depending on what app is running or which dock mode I'm using. I've found that certain games and apps run with less lag in Web top mode and some work better on HDMI mirror mode. I messed with the mouse settings in Web top mode to make it more responsive but it still takes some getting used to. I don't think it's unuseable, but I can see noticeable lag that you have to compensate for.

Same issue on occasion
I have had this happen a few times. I am not sure what is causing it. I will reply back if I have anything further to add.
I don't have a bluetooth mouse or keyboard, but I have noticed a similar delay when playing games via HDMI using a sixaxis or wii controller.
Works fine for me.
Tested with stock UK razr rooted. Nebtop app and apple wireless keyboard and magic mouse. Although mouse behaves weird unless you set up the click rate and sensitivity.
same applies to mirror mode.
I guess its your keyboard/mouse that is causing trouble. Try different set of gear or change batteries.
Hope it helps
That's weird, i tried someone else's logitech bluetooth mouse and got the same issue. It was a mouse only, no keyboard or headphones this time and still had the issues.
I have the same problem. just purchased a dell bluetooth mouse and the apple bluetooth keyboard. they work great in the phone. But once in webtop mode, there is lag. I am using a quality HDMI cable, but use a rocketfish HDMI to DVI converter to the monitor. wondering if that is the issue.?
I was wondering if there was an app that would let you use the phone as a mouse/keyboard for a computer/laptop. Something like Blueputdroid, which turns the phone into a bluetooth mouse/keyboard using root and doesn't require additional software to be installed and configured on the computer.
BluePutdroid would've been just fine but I haven't had luck with it - Whenever I use it, it crashes after a few seconds and corrupts my sdcard somehow.
So does anyone know of app that can turn the phone into a bluetooth or usb mouse/keyboard so it's just like plugging in a normal keyboard or mouse?
Thanks!

First off, most do require somesort of server software and run over wifi, so what OS do you use?
But i happen to use Unified Remote. I love it to death, I wish to hell I could get it on my wifes *cringe* iphone just because it controls literately everything windows. It costs a few bones, but is well worth it (cause of netflix, i use windows as my media boxes, and it has remotes for everything media center on windows...highly recommended.)
Not sure about bluetooth only cause I don't have it on my tv boxes.
If you use Windows you can use an app called Win Remote. Works pretty well.

This is what I use, very simple and works flawlessly. But it does require the server to be ran on the computer. It's got two-finger multi-touch support for scrolling like a MacBook trackpad which is useful for cruising the interwebz.
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.
