is there an app that enables you to use your S2 as a bluetooth mouse?
i see ones that let you control the cursor with your finger on the phone screen but i mean one that controls the cursor using the phone gyro sensors, so you actually lay the phone on your desk and move it around like a mouse in your hand and mouse buttons are a graphical display on the phone screen.. the volume up and down rocker could even be used as page forward or page back like the side buttons on a mouse.
if this kind of app does not exist, why not? you could basically use your phone to replace another item.. the computer bluetooth or wi-fi mouse.
You can install wifi mouse or remotedroid from google play store it will make the same as u want

no it does not do as i asked!! it does as i described.. you have to use your finger on the screen to move the cursor... that is NOT what i want!
i want an app that uses moving the phone around to move the cursor NOT using the screen as a trackpad!!
Let me describe for u technically how to make what ur aiming to have .
Two ways you can have tbis
1st to use the camera and the motion sensors in the device to depict the same motion on the pc which will drain the battery within 1 H
2nd to use the NFC with the motion sensors which needs another NFC device and also NFC is not installed in i9100 so its expensive and no one will develope the same .
But let me agree with u i like the idea regardless that i think that it will not benifit ur usage and also it will not be comfortable.

ok reply to that...
1. could always plug phone into the usb when the battery gets low. i use a laptop so would work ok for me.
2. i agree
....i have played with the phone, moving around like a mouse next to my laptop and i find it very comfortable.
i dont understand why it is so difficult. can already use the phone as a trackpad with your finger via bluetooth. so if phone has sensors to detect all movement in all directions, why cant a program access those and then use them to make the phone act like a mouse.. it is basically only left right forward and back???

Since PS3 controllers use bluetooth to connect, can we find a way to turn the phone into a fancy touch screen remote for the ps3?
I'd really love that
I've been wondering kind of the same thing but just the opposite. I want a way to connect the ps3 controller to our phone like we can do with Wii remotes. I think that would be kind of nice

agree!
I hope someone takes this project on I'd definitely pay for this...
Would for sure pay for this!
Features that I would like to see
-Movie mode. gives all the option like fast forward rewind, title etc
-controller mode. all controls mapped onto the screen.
Pretty sure the phone would need better HID support before this would work wouldn't it? It would be pretty handy though. My old Sony Ericsson W900 had some quite good custom Bluetooth HID profiles in it which I used to control various devices which was pretty handy, the equivalents for Android all seem to be server/client WiFi based things.
I suspect there may be improved HID support in Gingerbread, so we might be lucky and it becomes relatively straightforward to implement then.
I'd love this but i think the ps3 uses proprietary bluetooth calls not that has stopped people before

Nope, PS3's bluetooth is pretty standard. You can sync a regular Bluetooth keyboard or mouse with it and they work fine. Their media remote might use some odd signals, but you can duplicate what you need with the right keys on a keyboard profile.
Yeah, I want this!

I like this.
How about taking it one step further and allowing remote desktop like you can with the PSP?
I believe that's what is being done with open remote play now. I have that running on my laptop instead of my cfw'ed PSP.
I'm pretty sure this has been done with the Nokia N900/Maemo. So wouldn't a port be feasible? Like with psfreedom?
Adding in my support for any dev who jumps on this. I've been wanting this ever since I got a PS3 but nobody seems to want to make it work.
Since the PS3 will work with a regular keyboard and mouse, all that should be required (theoretically) is to set your phone to think it's a BT keyboard with a trackpad built in. I would love to be able to tie my phone's BT to my PS3 and use it as a trackpad to navigate the browser or use the android keyboard to be able to type quick messages to friends. The onscreen PS3 keyboard is a joke.
I can see a lot of PS3 owners spending at least $5.00 for something like this. Hell, throw it in the market and watch the money roll in. I just wish somebody would create the app...
i'd pay for an app like this too.... just putting that out there
I am trying to get my xbox 360 wired controller to work with gta3 and its somewhat working. Im using Xpadder, a gamepad profiler that can make the controller emulate and mouse/keyboard movement and then using "wifi keyboard" app to get it to move across to my phone. However i cant get mouse movements to register and can only really get basic walking and driving controls working, such as steering and walking. I cant figure out how to make the controller use any weapons, sprint, but entering and exciting vehicles works fine. Is there a better app to do what im trying to do? I searched and couldn't find any and am curious if anyone else has tried to do the same thing i am. I really need like a list of what the translation for the pc version would be, like what keyboard button was used for the ebrake, drivebys, etc because thats the only way i am able to get this controller to work. I have been working off of a list of pc controls but am still unable to figure out how to make the controller fire or use weapon or switch between weapons, i know it was default to mouse left click or left control but neither work for me. And ive literally gone over my entire keyboard pressing random buttons to see if i can make it fire or switch weapons.
I know there are apps to you can download to turn your cell phone into a wireless mouse for your PC, in fact I have one and it works great.
Does anyone know of an app that will do the same thing but be able have a mouse pointer on your Prime using your cell phone as the mouse. I've searched the marked and googled it and get nothing.
If there is not an app like this maybe one of you guru developers here can make one. That would be awesome.
I think this should work with the client and server installed

I'm not rooted yet but this may be the reason I root. Keep the suggestions coming.

Mobile mouse works great, if you're just looking to control the mouse functions. There's also LogMeIn, if you're looking for more functionality (remote desktop type stuff).
These work on a PC, but I'm not sure how well, or if these would work on the TFP.
I have a app that controls my computers mouse pointer from my phone. What I'm looking for is an app like that but to put a mouse pointer on my Prime and be able to control the pointer from my phone. So it would really be an app that creates a mouse pointer on the Prime and is controlled by the phone. This way I could sit back and control my Prime while connected via HDMI on my bigscreen and not have a long HDMI cable or have to get up to mess with the tablet.

That works just fine. I found it while looking to use my phone as a BT keyboard to use cheats in GTA III. Mouse also works.

So will this app put a mouse pointer on the Prime and control said cursor from the phone? I'm not really going to use my phone as a game controller what I really want is a cursor on my Prime to control it like it was in the dock (I don't have a dock) remotely.
That's two apps that need root to work so I may be closer to rooting if one of these will do what I want.
This is something I always look for in my phones, maybe im one of few . I can say that HID profiles are supported and have tested with a portable bluetooth keyboard which works perfectly- no connection issues dropouts or weird quirks. I also tested out my bluetooth mouse which also paired without a problem, however its use was not ideal (but thats ok). There was no mouse cursor so it was awkward trying to select or click. The mouse was more like and external bluetooth finger if that that makes sense. The mouse like the finger and the table like the screen. I guess functionality of bluetooth mice wasn't really a large concern if at all. But id say good enough especially for the keyboard
Stock 2.3.4
I have been able to use a Bluetooth mouse on ics, and it does show a cursier. Now all I need is a mhl adapter and I'm going to start using this thing as my desktop

hi,
I would like to use OTG cable + mouse in a game called "heroes of camelot"
the device recognizes the mouse and I can do everything.
BUT when I launch the game above, the game doesn't recognize the mouse.
I tried by using a macro tool called "hiromacro"
Once again the mouse moves the pointer, but no command is recorded.
It seems something changes in the way to process the two types of input; from finger and from mouse's left button.
then I tried to control my S3 from PC through an app called "teamviewer"
I can see in my PC a window which is showing the S3 screen and I can use the mouse of PC inside the S3.
This time, I can do everything inside S3 and I can also play the game above.
(unfortunately it is not a good solution because it is terribly slow, of course)
but It gives me hope that there is the way to, put it so, " to use a mouse like a finger "
So I ask if there is an app wich let me customize left button mouses's input?
p.s.: ah! I forgot to say that in my S3 I can't use finger, that is to say why I am doing all this mess
(sorry for my bad eng...)
and thanks for any answering or at least for reading
glad that you made xda forum!
