Hi,
i have the galaxy tab wifi version p7510 which I bought in Sweden and I was trying to connect several bluetooth mices (apple mice and trust mice) to the tablet but for none so far I saw a curser blinking or got some response from the mice. Has anyone the same problem or is it in general impossible to connect a bluetooth mice to the galaxy tab?
I hope someone can help me with that because I start to get really frustrated.
Cheers,
Matti
PS. I use the Galaxy tas 14 rom at the moment if that helps but I tried it with the task650 and the CM9 kang as well.

Hi,
I recently got my Galaxy Tab. Having around an Apple wireless keyboard and a Magic Mouse, I decided to give them a try with the tab (I know it is a little ironic to use those two together given the legal war that is going on between the two companies ).
The keyboard worked perfectly (it paired and connected at first try).
The mouse also paired and connected at first try, but it just doesn't work. I am not getting a cursor, as it happens on my gf's GT P1000.
Anyone ever tried or made it work with an apple mouse or any other bluetooth mouse? Any ideas or workarounds? Thanks!
Regards,
Marius
Yes,...it works fine
I have a the Kensington Slimblade BT mouse and it works fine. This maybe a bit old technology, since I have it more than a year (using it also on my laptop)
I also have the small Apple BT keyboard - and it also works....sort-of. Sometimes te keys seems to get stuck and since it is created for the Apple envirnment, there are some 'dead keys' and some options missing.
I use my Dell compact BT mouse with no issues. I also use a Logitech diNovo keyboard. The two BT devices almost turn my GTab into a mini desktop.
The Apple Magic Mouse won't work...this is a known issue. It will pair but that's it.
The Apple Bluetooth Keyboard works fine with the 10.1. I've had no problems and like using it.
I've had no problems with Mircosoft's 5000 Bluetooth mouse pairing and operating the Tab. It makes for a great remote control!
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I have a similar issue. I bought a Speedlink Snappy SL-6158 Bluetooth mouse for approx 10 dollar and was thrilled to see it work on my Galaxy S3, so I thought it would work on my Tab2 as well. Wrong thinking. It paires just fine, but it will not show a cursor and does not react on the buttons.
Is there any solution for this problem, or did I just wasted 10 bucks?
I use a cheap bt mouse I got eBay and works fine here too...

Could you tell me what type of mouse this is?
And can anybody tell me if this can be solved by rooting and using a custom rom?
Hi there,
i would like to buy wireless keyboard for my Galaxy tab 7 2 and trying to find the best solution/keyboard. I want to use it for my Samsung Smart TV too. I saw many good review for Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard K400 but finding if there is some other options thank this one.
By the way, is Galaxy tab 7 able to use wireless keyboard with BT or I need to use USB dongle and OTG cable ?
Thank you for you answers

If keyboard is bluetooth then will work with tab 2 without otg but u knw there are bluetooth keyboards that u must put a usb into ur device so that they work wirelessly
That needs otg abt the smart tv idk as I dont have one
I have 3 USB ports on my TV, so there wont be problem with it, i just needed to know if tab 2 supports BT keyboards
Of course
ok, and can somebody recommend me something better than Logitech K400
I tried the k400. I took it back. You need OTG cable to use K400 with our tabs.
I use Rii RT-UMK-100-BT. Its like a mini K400. I like it a lot.

I bought the Play Station 3 Keyboard (Bluetooth) - it works. I bought it for only 10 € (last one in the shop )
Only Problem - No German Layout possible without an app using "External Keyboard Helper" will fix it.
I´m on Galaxy Tab 2.7 CM 10.1.1 ; same problem on a P5110 Stock (no root).
Any ideas how to get it work without an app (German QWERTZ) ?
something in the build.prop?
Changing ro.product.locale.language=en and ro.product.locale.region=US to ro.product.locale.language=de and ro.product.locale.region=DE ?

No it depends on the rom you are using because the languages are in the csc folder and I am BUMPING THIS THREAD
Im using a Bluetooth Keyboard from ANKER.
Perfect layout, quite small, fast connected almost perfect!
ANKER Keyboard
I love it and use it to write a book
OK, it's an old topic, but anyway... Microsoft Wedge BT keyboard works perfectly for me. The only thing I don't like about it is the protruding part at the bottom (where the battery compartment is) -- I would prefer a flat design. But functionally, it's a great keyboard.

Those are NOT bluetooth keyboards -- they use proprietary RF transceivers. If it really is a BT peripheral, you don't need to plug in anything extra, as long as your host is BT-capable.
Cheap option...but
I bought a "aluminum" keyboard for my Tab 2 7. In reality it was plastic with an aluminum color. It fits the tab as a case and is BT. It works fine and I payed all of US $15.
The down side is the keys are very small so no way for my fat fingers to touch type. If I don't look and concentrate I hit 2 keys at a time. But I have been using it for the last 9 months.
Found it on Ebay.
Thanks for all the great info guys.
I have a question that I can't seem to find an answer.
I had my Galaxy Tab stolen along with my Macbook Air and need to replace.
This time I would like to get a fully spec'd Mac Mini and get the latest and greatest Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 or 12.1.
Anyone know how to get Samsung tablet to be used as a monitor for Mac Mini? I want to work off Tablet while connected to Mac Mini for
my video and audio work and then use the tablet later for web and other android stuff.
I would prefer a wired connection since Mac Mini has all kinds of ports that are fast.
Anyone know of a work around for this kind of setup?
I need to have both because of the heavy work I do in video and audio on Mac and the the heavy
research I do online with tablet. The pen would be a great help in both systems. I've seen on youtube that
tablets touch screen can be used on Macbooks.
Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan
Ever get any guidance?
Hey Dan --
I'm considering something similar for similar reasons (video/audio editing & writing/research) .... did you ever get any advice for this set up or give it a try? Curious how it worked out ... any and all appreciated.

Hi all, I am having problems with my TrekStor tab. I bought an BT 3 mouse from ebay which is not working well with my tablet device. I thought that its defect or something bcs many things from ebay are so I tested with my laptop and Motorola XT 910 and it all works with no problems.
Problem is sometimes it wont pair or when it's paired it wont connect to my bt mouse, but so sometimes it wont recive data from my phone via BT. It happens in a day or two that it actually works but when am not around for maybe 10min bluetooth goes gray and mouse is disconnected and any attempt to connect it fails.
Now I dont know is there any way to test my BT on my tablet, I am realy losing my brain, I've searched through internet for weeks, tryed everything and no result. Shoud I go to store and give them to test it?
I am using tablet alot for studying and surfing so I realy need it and wont be probably able to give it for repairs for two months so i would like to try anything I can to from here.
Thanks for help and sorry for my bad english.
Tablet is TrekStor Surftab Xiron 10.1, quad core, 2gb ram, 16gb memory running Android 4.2.2. Built in Germany.
Anyone?
Hello everyone,
So I have been experiencing and interesting issue(or maybe simple lack of support) with USB OTG on the Nexus 9 that I own. First off, I have been using keyboard, mouse, and xbox 360 controllers with the same cable on my Samsung Galaxy S4 running a AOSP(4.4.4), and Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 variant of Gummy ROM without any issues. Lone behold, on my Nexus(running stock 5.0.1 OTA), the only devices it's seems to support as of present are removable media(i.e. USB flash memory/hard disk drives). I am wondering if this a bug, or misconfiguration on my part(maybe I am overlooking a setting), and since I intended on using the controller support for emulation purposes this would be a deal breaker and I would have no other choice but to return the device. Keep in mind I have tested the cable/controllers/mice/keyboard on my S4, Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 and my roommates HTC One without any issues, leading me to believe this is either a hardware, or software limitation. Thanks again, for any advice or help you guys/girls maybe able to offer me !
