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..

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
Screenshot of pointer:

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.
Anyway to disable that annoying accent character popup when typing on a bluetooth keyboard?
I'm using a TP with CM7 3.5 with a Motorola BT KB. I'v googled this to death and haven't found any solutions.
I tried null keyboard. Don't work.
Can't find anything in settings.
Anyone know?
Thx
I have the same issue with the motor kbd. I believe the issue is in the kbd software not the tp.

I called Motorola and Logitech (I have both keyboards and have the same issue with both) about the popup boxes. Both companies told me that it is a function of the operating system and is not hard coded into the keyboards. They said we should look into a software solution as the keyboard does not have the accent popup feature. Maybe this is a thing for the devs.

I just noticed you get a accent box popup when long pressing the on screen keyboard.
There has to be some way to change this.
thabksssssss
I installed the Go Keyboard app and no longer get the accent box popup.
I just wish there was an app that would get rid of it. Or someone figure out how change the setting in Android.
I like using the BT KB with null keyboard. Which has no onscreen keyboard.
When using a BT KB with go keyboard, holding the shift does not capitalize letters. You have to tap the shift key once to capitalize. You can't hold it. I emailed the authors to try to get them to fix that.
I tried a few other addon keyboards and they all have that stupid popup.
My wife's android phone with a physicial keyboard phone gets the same accent popup.
The BlueInput soft doesn't have that problem.
I think you needed to pair the keyboard with their software and not with the buildit android one, but after that it doesn't show the annoying pop when long press on the keyboard keys.
I use it with one of those mini BT keyboards and works fine.

YES! This works properly! Thx a LOT!
BlueInput doesn't work reliably. Mouse would not work with it. Uninstalled.

Only tried with the crappy keyboard, but good to know that it doesn't pick the mouse.
I'm guessing the batteries in my mouse were almost dead. Even without Blueinput installed, mouse would not stay connected. I'v only had this mouse since Saturday. It came with Everready Energizers. This Motorolla mouse has an indicator that is supposed to flash orange when the batts are low, it didn't. So I thought they were still good.
After reading some reviews on some BT mice, some said the batts died really fast. So I installed some fresh duracell's today and mouse is working fine. I'll keep the switch off when not using it this time.
So I reinstalled Blueinput and just connected the KB through it. Left the mouse connected through android. I'm pretty sure the mouse would work through Blueint now with the fresh batts.
Just got myself a new BT keyboard with an integrated mouse, as you said, when paring/connecting using the BlueInput driver the mouse doesn't work which kind of sucks 8)
I found some another driver does appear to work fine (at least it allows me to use both the keyboard and mouse at the same time without the annoying "accent" popup window.
BlueKeyboard JP
https://market.android.com/details?id=elbrain.bluekeyboard.ime&hl=en
Still need to test a play a little bit more (see which layout fits my keyboard) but I think is more usable with this driver than the original/build-in CM7 one.

Works well. I have seen this before. Not sure why I didn't try it. Maybe I thought it was Japanese only. IDK. Tried so many.
Are you getting this when clicking on an iput box?
The setting of "selected keyboard" is not found.
It still works everytime. Just weird.
Oh I figured out that error. I had to actually select the kb in Bluekeyboard JP settings. I didn't select it before. I could see it there. I though it was already selected. It wasn't.
Another thing I noticed. When you select your BT KB in "Connecting process" in Bluekeyboard JP settings, everytime you click on an input box, there is a message box saying "connecting.. don't touch the keyboard yet". The KB still worked while that message was displayed.
I got rid of that by unchecking "Connecting process" in settings.
So now it works with no message boxes.
Blueinput JP FC's on every boot...
I normally use Hacker's Keyboard and change to the BT one when I connect the extenal keyboard,
just done a quick reboot and no FCs.
Still I think is good enough for me, I read somewhere than since Android 3.1 the keyboard is handled a litlle diferente (no more bin files for each keyboard, just plain text) so maybe whenever ICS is out we can have a better option 8) (xmast wish hehe)
Bluekeyboard JP works perfectly on CM9! No more FC's. Reconnects nicely.
I mistakenly called it Blueinput JP a couple of posts above.
Hello,
I have been trying to get a satellite receiver box and a media box to work with the Sony IR. They are not listed in the list of devices so I tried the learning mode.
For both devices the IR application learns the commands (for power on/off, change channel, etc ...) but when I test, it doesn't work
Has anyone managed to successfully get the tablet to learn IR commands ? Is there a trick to it
Thanks in advance
ive gotten it to work, without issue with my equipment. just baseless speculation here, but maybe it matters if you have the tablet learn a tap of the button vs holding down a button?
I used the learn mode. I found it to be a bit finicky. Try it a few different times. Try varying the distance, position, and tap vs hold
Hello my friend,
As i am a home cinema maniac (and this is the main reason i bought this tablet) i can confirm that learning mode working perfect as i have learned more than 7 remote controls to the tablet.
When you choose the button and after you learn the command, do you receive error message or what? Some times regarding the remote unit it is a bit difficult to take the command.
Chris.
Thanks for your replies
I will try the tap suggestion
Basically the tablet says it learned the command (eg power on/off) but when I actually test it, it doesn't work.
I am trying it on an IOMEGA media server and a Hivion (unknown brand) satellite dish receiver
In easy mode it works like a charm on Pioneer and Panasonic equipment
Cheers
The tap trick seems to work most of the time. Only a few stubborn keys yet to be learned by the tablet!
Thanks again for the suggestion

Be careful doing this as many devices will react unpredictably to the "held-down" signal as opposed to the single press command.
I just heard about this and it was free so decided to try it out...but I have no idea how to control my phone when it's on my pc screen. I can click the hard buttosn that it displays on the GUI but anything on the phone screen itself (displayed on the PC), it only has the big blue circle that does nothing when I click except pulse a bit telling me I clicked here.
Also, the description was a bit confusing but when they said use the phone as a second monitor..I can't extent my PC Windows as a dual screen, right? Just meaning I can use both devices simultaneously with a single KB/M set??
edit:
seems like it responds to Key Board but not the Mouse. Also with Keyboard, I can't siwtch back the Window to 1 and 5 out of 5, only between 2 3 4? If I keep pushing Left or Right it finally goes. Int he App Drawer Page...I have no idea how to scroll up and down to choose something else that's not in my PoV

have you figured it out yet? what OS is installed on your pc ?
I have used it for months and works great.

I'm working on implementing mouse for Godot and I just found what hell awated me
just found out that mouse implementaion is the most inconsitence thing on android
on samsung right click and back both sends `keyDown` and Up with `KEYCODE_BACK` and doesn't fire `onGenericMotionEvent`, but if you than click on left button `getButtonState` returns the button mask with everyhing right (`0b1011`) (which kills my implementation which expects single change everyclick). (also if you middle on samsung and click the mask is corect, but releasing it sends `HOME` so even thinking about that makes no sense)
on the other hand, my oneplus, the left and back button both counts as `BUTTON_BACK`, so `getButtonState` later will return `0b1001`
and last on lineageos (on my oneplus 5) (only tested on 3.2) right click and middle click just works (doesn't send any useless key) while the `BACK_BUTTON` works the same as the others
also for clicking on second button on the mouse will send `ACTION_MOVE` in `onTouch` will makes my implementation just calls move automaticly (which is not that bad, it's just wierd that move happns before click with button)
currently trying to send touch when back is pressed with source mouse, but I can't do it fully because it's inconsistent between samsung and oneplus (and I suspect much more devices)
(`BUTTON_FORWARD` have most of the same probelm, but is consistent)
Any tip to make it less hell?

Mayb is just the mouse. Have you tried changing the mouse?
My mouse seems to work fine on my samsung note 8, and on samsung dex.
The same mouse also works well with my brandless Chinese made android tv box running android 6.
My mouse is a Logitech wireless mouse and keyboard set.
Right click is normal clicking.
Left click is back button.
Wheel simulates swiping up and down on the screen.
