So my 20 year old son kicked me off my imac ...so I got inspired, whipped out the "Logitech Tablet Keyboard for Android 3.0+" and resumed my work on an Office Document.
I was impressed with the keyboard; it connected first try, has dedicated Home, back arrow, Menu buttons and function buttons that control the music and launch the calender.
Also the keyboards case serves as a dock/holder for my Note.
I'd say the 5.3" Note and BT Keyboard are a great match.
I'm using the Apex launcher which works in landscape mode but I can see where a BT Mouse would help navigate. I need to find a small one.

I have the same one- someone on here actually posted up the deal from Daily Steals- and i love it! i use it everyday at work and at home. I am also in search of a Bluetooth mouse that i like, but in the meantime, i can just plug in a USB mouse at work
edit: mine actually isnt the same- i bought the 'Logitech Portable Keyboard for iPad' because it was 29 bucks, vs the 89 retail. the home button still works, volume and music controls work, search works, its just missing a back button.

Found this apple mouse in my junk drawer and it works.
Why do you allow your 20 year old to kick you off of anything? Tell him to get his own iMac or whatever. Unless he is supporting you, which I doubt.
Thanks for the post, though. Nice pics and input.

Does anyone know where I can get a full screen dialpad for the 8525? It seems like a big waste of space not to be able to use to full screen for the keypad. I have fat fingers and it would make my life a whole lot easier to dial without having to use the stylus.
Thanks
Patrick
are you talking about something like pocketcm keyboard?
Try leaving your phone at the top of the stairs and then when it rings run up them to answer it, then you wont have such fat fingers, but i bet you live in a house with no stairs lol.
the touch dialpad has pretty big buttons
something like this?

try browse the forum in touchpal or better yet open www.cootek.com
Clarify
Are you looking for Dialpads or for Keypads? Dialpad are for dialing telephone numbers. Keypads are keyboards for typing messages and such.
Dialpads-Use the search enging (upper right of this page) and type in dialpads. If not on the first page of hits definately on the 2nd or 3rd you should get a lot. There are dialpads from the HTC Touch and Marshall (you can even search his name) has produced quite a few that even include smartdialing.
Keyboards-I recommend searching touchpal or go to PocketCM.com. Tene has developed a lot of large screened ones and there are skins for even larger looks.

You could use swiftkey from the market, it has a feature that allows you to enlarge the buttons and the prediction on it is amazing. It doesn't have t9 though, since it is only in qwerty.
TouchPal, it is: resizable, custom skins, Swype, t9, qwerty, azerty, prediction, supports many languages and its free!

Try multiling Keyboard!
I got pretty big fingers too
If you are willing to shell a few bucks, then try out Smart Keyboard Pro (use HTC skin) It works wonderfully on my G3

I use messagease, takes some time to get used to, but when you get used to it, you'll never press a wrong key again!
i tested it.
it´s not useful for me.
Hello everyone! (sorry for my English) Before i got my Xperia S i had a Xperia play, and I just loved the gamepad.
Anyway i like to play games on my Xperia S but i miss the gamepad on play.
So i looked for a android gameing pad i this is what I found.
The Gametel gamepad.
Gametel is a Bluetooth controller for Android and iOS devices. It’s also working with Windows and OS X.

(this aint my picture)
As you can see from the picture the design idea is to physically attach your smart phone to create a Xperia PLAY like form factor. It does include all of the buttons you would expect like the D-Pad, trigger buttons and action keys but there isn't the dual analogs.
This is the manufactures site
www.gametel.se it's more info there.
I have this kind of bundle and I must say that it works quite well.
The Gametel software has a predefined option to emulate Xperia PLAY. I've found one bug with it compared to my Xperia PLAY. In some games/emulators the mapping on the O button (in the original Xperia PLAY mapped to BACK) works sometimes too well. For example when I touch the O button, it goes out of the application instead than acting as the O key on the pad.
Not all games/emulators are affected by this.
Overall it's quite nice, pairs itself automatically and very quick.
One other not nice thing is, that when using it with Xperia S, You will have the volume buttons pressed constantly, but there is an option in the Gametel software to disable the volume buttons when the pad is connected.
But this can also be sometime messy, for example when You run a game and want to + or - the volume.....If You have any questions regarding this, then I'll be happy to answer.
WoOoW:laugh:
make me drolling
How's it? It works fine?
how much the price ?
I had this lying around from my old HTPC. This keyboard/mouse/remote combo works really nice and is compact.
Pros
Compact & light
Optical touchpad mouse
Optical scrollbar right under the mouse
Functional play pause buttons
Backlit (see notes below)
Cons
Not bluetooth (uses mini USB receiver)
The remote has both a backlit version and non-backlit version. I picked up the backlit version awhile back for about $40. The non-backlit one is going for around $20-$25.
Plugged it up to my usb-otg hub and it works great! I use the Esc key as back button.

I love this remote! I have been using it for a while with other devices. The one drawback, is that it does not have a "back" button when you are doing android stuff. The "R" button can be used as a back button, but only in Kodi. I just use this remote and when I need to press back, i pick up the nexus remote. Are you able to go back at all?
I've been using the ESC button to go back. However, it won't take you to the home screen. Thinking about it, I wonder if the home button will take you home?

Correction. Esc button DOES eventually take you to the home screen! If you want to go directly to the home screen, the key combination of Alt + Esc works!
Bamboo Stylus Fineline works.
-Add device in Smart Lock first. https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/6093922?hl=en
-Download 'fineline' pack in ' Bamboo paper'.
-It seems as if when reconnecting the stylus to the device you have to set Bluetooth to "forget device" (not smart lock), then when you press the sync button on the stylus it connects.

Bamboo stylus fineline works. It took me awhile to get it to work. I cannot get it to connect or work on my gtab pro 8.4. (However stylus is set center nd works without connection with no pressure or acreen touch recognition)
I believe it's simply when connecting the device to BT to make sure it's added as a secure device. However it didn't say it was conmected in secure device until i had bamboo paper installed with fineline pack purchased.
Let me know id it works for thosr interested. I'm curious if others have been doing it another way. However, i haven't been able to find anything online about it.

The images you posted don't work, also could you clarify what you are talking about. I read the OP a few times and its not very clear what you are trying to convey.
No problem. Agreed. The name of the device and the app made it sound strange.
Do you have any samples of how fine it writes on the N6?
Anymore word on this.
