Ok so, all I really do is look on FB and look on ebay, which my phone can do perfectly, obviously. I have a MHL adapter to connect it to my TV which works perfect also, but my question is which keyboard and mouse would pair with the devices bluetooth so I can use the MHL adapter and the keyboard and mouse to use it as a mini desktop computer or a "Smart TV".
Please not to expensive and not cheap and tacky, thank you very much.

Why don't you use OTG cable to connect mouse/keyboard to your SGS3 it will cost u less and you can use any usb keyboard or mouse, why do you want to spend lots of money buying a new keyboard and mouse.. one thing is you will have limitation to use only one device at a time..
Because I can't use my mhl adapter then. Currently doing that now but want the option to display on TV and use KB and mouse.

There are guides on the internet to make an OTG / MHL adaptor if you're that way inclined

What do you plan on doing with your phone connected to TV? My idea was using it to word process and well basically everything a PC does which is why I use a full sized wireless keyboard and mouse set I got cheap. If yours is just for doing simple tasks running down this road is not a bad idea. There is the same sort of concept bundle which is this one
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=181211348976
Which looks a little better on using the keyboard as it's not all cramped up. You know?

Well yeah basically use it the same way as you but just to use it as a backup in case my Laptop plays up , but the one you posted does look better

hi,
what kind of communication exists between tablet and dock when they are separate?
is it a kind of wifi one or bluetooth?
my goal is to use the dock on a table with usb device pluged in and use the tablet (with appropriate software) to control the usb device.
do you think it's possible?

I wonder if remote keyboard function could be enabled, its got a battery and its own firmware, i wonder if a dev can hack functionality for it into the docks firmware in the future.
... For now, you would need a netbook/laptop/pc with the USB device plugged in, then use VNC or splashtop from tablet to chosen device.

It's a bit cumbersome but what you could do is leave your usb widget plugged into a laptop/pc on the desk, and then use Splashtop to remote control that from the tablet. Of course this would require there to be a wifi network available.....

Of course, you could always trade in your Prime for an original Transformer TF101 which has a usb port on the tablet. But then again, does your dongle work with Android?

I just ordered my USB OTG Cable today. For those that don't know what it means, it stands for USB On-The-Go. Basically, it allows you to read files from a portable flash drive straight from your phone. This will only work with a compatable kernel and since we have an ICS Source the developers said it was already enabled within the kernel.
This will be my first time to have ever used one and I was just wondering the pros and cons of having something like this.
I need some feed back~~
well from my POV these are my pros and cons...
PROS:
Extra space (whatever you can get that hooks up to usb, 2tb!!)
CONS:
Lugging around the extra crap
You have a good con list ziggy46..lol
I was concerned about that as well. But I have a 500gb portable external hard drive and it has tons of crap that I can probably watch or listen to on my phone. I can't shove everything on my 32gb sdcard. My 1T sits on my desk for my wife's photography thing she does.
My friend has an OTG cable and he uses his usb mouse to control his phone.
It's pretty cool but really gimmicky.
Hmmm...interesting. Thanks for the tip
if your otg cable works out good for you let us know. i might buy one and get a 2tb usb hdd.
btw, if things are fomatted in NTFS you might need to make a script for them to mount to the phone...
HTC doesn't support USB OTG in general. It will require a kernel hack. It didn't work in GB. I am not sure about ICS.
From what kozmick mentioned in his kernel thread it was enabled in the kernel. Im hoping it works if not then I hope it works on the N7 or my wife's SGS2.

Normally USB otg won't work on an HTC device. According to faux its something about the USB stack.
Ok. So I FINALLY got my USB-OTG Cable and even with the enabeled kernel it does not work. Kinda bummed but the part was cheap so its not a major loss. It works on ky wife's SGS2 and I read that it will work on the Idolian tablet I just ordered so I'm cool with that. I'll try and sell the other 3 that I won't need.

Just wondering, for the usb otg on the sgs2, did you need to connect the ext hd with power source? Or is the sgs2 able to power the ext hd?
It was able to power it just fine. I was just using a 2GB flash drive to test and you can see the led light come on. Not sure how well it could keep the charge up tho.

i have Energy Rom with Faux kernel, but i doesn't work.
my friend has One S, which works fabulously with OTG.
any solutions?
I just saw this on Reddit; might be old news to some, but this is the first I've heard about it. Apparently there is a $1.38 (on Amazon.com) cable that allows you to connect various USB devices, and if the device supports USB OTG, you can run flash or powered hard (not portable) drives, keyboards, mice, or even a hub to use more than one. If the device doesn't, it can be added with root, or included in a ROM. I'm not a developer. I'm not even a programmer, so I don't have the first idea on how this could be done. But a Bluetooth keyboard is around $80, and this will allow a $10 keyboard to be used, or a $10 mouse, for a cost of about $12 for one, $22 for both, plus whatever a hub goes for. So having USB OTG could save some folks a lot of money. Plus if they want to use a USB controller for gaming, they can save the cost of a PS3 controller entirely (about $40).

After reading my response and the subsequent responses, I realize that it probably came off flame-ish. My apologies. It wasn't so much the topic as it was posted in the dev forum. They frown on that, unfortunately.
I am open to questions if you have any regarding USB OTG. I had to mess around with various USB configurations until I found the right connections. When it works, it just works. But figuring it out from a Youtube video in another language made me want to write a guide. I hope it helps.
Good luck!
Well, I have a USB OTG cable coming at some point in the next week. I only paid 90¢ for it on Amazon, so it's not a huge loss if it doesn't work. I will consult your guide when I get it, if it doesn't just work. Obviously I'm gonna hook it up and try it as soon as I get the package.
I have two devices intended for it -- a 10" mini keyboard I got on Newegg for $15 (shipped). If I can't get this to work at all (and I'm sure I will be able to), I can use the keyboard for our bedroom computer, which has a half-broken, dirty, unwieldy "ergonomic" keyboard hooked up to it (and toss that one). Also a wired Xbox 360 controller, for mobile gaming.

The Chainfire program should be able to step you through the diagnostics of it. The biggest trick is getting enough power supplied to the phone plus the devices.

Any device that fully implements the standard USB HID protocol should just plug and play. A wired XBOX 360 controller should work, as well as the keyboard... as long as they don't require proprietary software/drivers to operate properly.
For my gaming solution, I went with the Sixaxis drivers for pairing with a PS3 controller through Bluetooth. That was pretty neat and it works. As far as keyboards, I have a wireless Logitech K400 with a touchpad which is fully functional. Using the one USB dongle which uses Logitech's 'Unifying' technology, I also have a Logitech M570 trackball mouse. So essentially, I carry a pocket-sized computer with me everywhere I go. Who needs a laptop?
Self-Powered USB Hubs work great with this setup, you can have multiple devices and Android (being based on Linux) will handle it as long as the kernel has the drivers built in. I've been having trouble trying to get external storage to work under CM7, but I also haven't been working to figure that out.

Hello,
I bought an external keyboard that connects via the mini usb port. It didn't work, but found a suggestion:
When I first connected my adapter that came with my tablet to the keyboard adapter I was very disappointed that nothing happened. I tried several different browser pages, but nothing happened. I read reviews on here and noticed on about that someone mentioned they changed their USB settings and their keyboard finally started working. So, I immediately went to my Settings, Advanced Settings, and then USB BUS MODE and changed it from DEVICE mode to HOST mode and VOILA - the keyboard immediately started functioning

At this time the NT does not have usb otg on any ROM, it may in the future, but if and when is not known at this time. The NT will never have bluetooth, Never. It has been well documented why, do a search and read. So a BT keyboard will never work. Is it really that hard to type with your thumbs?

I was using my phone before and it was a lot slower than what I can do with a keyboard and got tiring after an hour or so. It isn't detrimental that I can't use a keyboard, just desired.

Use an MHL adapter
You can use any blue tooth mouse and keyboard. Try a blue tooth keyboard with a track pad. And use any MHL cable to display the content onto a screen.

LG makes a program called On Screen Phone that will allow you to see everything you're doing on your phone in real-time as well as use your mouse to control it. There will be a bit of lag, but I think it works well enough. Apparently some phones can do this over WiFi, but ours only has the option to do it over usb. I only played with it some this past weekend, so others may know more about it.

yeah for the most part it works without issue, other times can't seem to get it to connect by Wi-Fi for the life of me, USB always works tho... I briefly had the same thought as far as audio output but due to the varying delay between device and monitor the mouths would never match even if you delayed the audio it'd need constant adjustments because the video delay varies in light of that mhl would be the way to go for audio/ video or miracast but good luck with that

I found this while looking yesterday and figured others may be interested in as well. The only problem I've found is that there is no ringtone or alert for new text messages other than the name of the tab changing in the browser to alert you. Other than that it works pretty well.
