Hi,
I'm looking for apps that support the hardware keyboard.
This is the situation, I have an unresponsive touchscreen for over six months now, I've tried a lot of different methods to bring it back but without any luck. After all this time I've given up on having a touchscreen. So now I'm looking for apps that can give me at least some functionality with only the hardware keyboard, the one app that is going to win the gold medal will be the one that let me answer incoming calls, right now I have to plug in the headset to answer, but I would like to answer directly on the phone so if someone knows about such an app it will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello guys
In the last months, i used a lot of APP´s of Google Play and other sources to try to solve my "problem" wich has upset me several mothns ago since i bought my new mobile.
I have a X3 iDEOS with Android 2.3.3, but i,m stuck with it about Bluetooth interaction with my carkit handsfree:
- doesn´t show the caller name (in the car or in my netbook when receive a call)
- doesn´t allow to make a call trough the mobile and redirect it (ex. pressing the steering wheel button)
* Previously i had one HTC with WM 6.1, and after i "rooted" it´s original ROM for another, the 2 items above worked well
I have my X3 at 3 months and i´m affraid of "brake is original ROM" because of the warranty right now.
Is there any guy here @ XDA, that can make the 2 things described above??
I´m willing to test, and pay a affordable price for an APP that solves this items with Android 2.3.3 :good:
Regard to all you guys:good:
Hallo,
There is an office request and I know his iPad is incapable of
so I turned to my favorite forum for help
My boss needs a tablet that can control (view - accept - reject) calls and sms from his dual sim phone.
Is there any solution using an android tablet with his (nokia) phone?
Cat it work with a dual-sim android phone + android tablet?
The point is NOT to be distracted from the phone while working,
everything needs to be controlled by the tablet (phone held in pocket)
Thank you very much
it is important for me to find any solution available.
PS. I know there are dual-sim boxes to use with BT on tablet
but they require sim-cloning and turning off the mobile in order to work.
We need a seamless procedure, thus, using the phone as the call router.
no ideas?
The best android-related forum and no one bothered to reply?
nice.
You can check out Tablet Talk.
It's an app on the Play Store.
Here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...m_term=calls+and+texts+to+tablet+from+android
I found it just with a little Google searching.
Don't curse the forum.
Hit thanks if I helped.

Hello guys,
So, i just bought a Samsung Gear S for my HTC One, and yes i know this is not 100% fully working, but i'll get a Samsung Alpha in few months.
Well, i followed your tutoriels and guides, and nothing went as planned.
The most embarassing thing is that i can't acces the Samsung Gear Store : is this a normal thing ? Or did i just mess up somewhere ?
Surprinsingly, S Voice function works 100%. I can't control my music tho. And the phone calls works very fine.
So, do you guys have any idea how i could fix this store issue ? Cause i would like to install something like Opera Mini or some other apps.
Thank you for reading, and sorry for my poor english
You need a Samsung phone that you can pair with the Gear s in order access the Samsung app store to install apps on the watch.
Best to find a friend with a compatible phone , pair it with theirs, then add whatever apps you want.
Or go to an electronics store that has compatible phones on display and pair your watch with one of them if you can.

I have an HTC M8 too and tried the workaround. This caused various issues and a few things didn't work post install of the Gear Mgr. I wanted something better and needed access to the gear store. And the last thing I wanted was be forced to buy and use a Samsung phone.
This isn't for everybody, but here's my fix...
I just bought a cheapo Samsung Gear S compatible phone off eBay and turned it into a notification relay point. You can get one for as little as ~$70:
Plug in it, connect to Wi-Fi, download Gear Mgr, clone the apps/email (from HTC) you want Notifs from, and set it up to remotely send the chosen app's notifications. For your HTC's texts, there are a handful of SMS forwarding apps on Play that work great. One app allows for you to reply with the native mobile # just as if it came from your HTC. Last step, set your watch to be standalone.
Everything works, including S-voice.
Thanks a lot guys ! A friend of mine has à Galaxy Note 2, i think it will be fine !
I'll keep you in touch if anyone wants to know what happened next !

Could you explain this a bit more, please?
I have someone who would love to get the Gear S but is a hard core iPhone user. I guess he could get a cheapo Galaxy phone, connect it to Wifi at home, but I don't understand the clone part, and how the cheapo gets the HTC notifications.
Guessing it may not work at all with an iPhone, but still interested in understanding the process.
Samsung could have really tapped that market by releasing a Gear Manager app on the Apple app store, and advertised a bit more.
No one knows what's on my wrist, but once explained, a lot of people would be potential customers if only the friggin Galaxy phone wasn't a prerequisite.

What you need to do is basically put the same apps on the relay device as your daily driver. Sign in to each app and then go to the Gear Mgr and make sure that app has a check mark.
As far as email. Use the stock Samsung email app and/or GMail . Enter all of your account info and, again, make sure the Gear Mgr is set.
So basically, all your doing is taking a dummy S compatible phone and creating a clone of your phone's app and email configuration.
Not sure if the iStore has an app that will forward your texts...but, hopefully, they should. If not, Google voice is another way to go.

^ Thank you.
Well, my phone is my sk17i Xperia Mini Pro.... and I love the physical keyboard and it works as a phone for me. I don't mind the small screen size that much...
Although for "productivity" and "school stuff" I have a Xperia Z2 tablet. And I carry both of them with me most of the time.
Although I hate overall on-screen typing. I want to vomit every time I use an on-screen keyboard.
And as I was looking on ebay for an external mini keyboard, I remembered that I have a really good physical keyboard on my Xperia Mini Pro. And another external keyboard would be yet another device to carry with me.
So my question is... is it somehow possible to interact with my Xperia Z2 tablet using my Xperia Mini Pro physical keyboard? Software, bluetooth, wifi, OTG USB... anything goes.... Suggestions?
I know this is more than 2 years old and sadly without any answer, but I ask myself pretty much the same question, I would like to use the keyboard of my Xperia Mini Pro as bluetooth keyboard for the Amazon FireTV stick. Would be great if this was possible somehow...
Paid App

Hello, I know this is a old thread, but now we have some paid apps that say that you can do this. I have nothing with the owner and did not tested it yet, but I'll leave the link below anyway. The bad news is the app only works with some OS like Android and Windows, for example. Hope it helps you.

Thanks for your reply, but at least on Amazon's FireTV Stick it does not seem to work. I sideloaded the app to the FireTV stick, startet it, but get an error-message in the first step: If I select "Tap here, find An2An Receiver from the list and enable it, confirm the pop-up dialog, then return here" > the message "Cannot launcher keyboard settings, please do it manually and come back". is shown. Also there's no real documentation, can't get it to work.
Good afternoon,
I hope someone can help me?
Some apps (gesture plus, accu Battery, slim navigation, etc etc) won't work, not even after doing the exact instructions given by Huawei costumerservice, the app developers and "don't kill my app".
I've read on the internet that those solutions helps some, but not me and others.
My wife has the same problem (p30 pro not compatible with fitbit smaetwatch) and my father with his p30lite and AccuBattery as well.
Does somebody knows a solution for this?
Thank your for your time.
Kind regards,
Vincent
Hello, can you give some more information about where you are running into an issue? Are you getting an error message somewhere along the process?
No, there are no false notifications.
The apps are unstable, the particular apps and fitbit work sometimes and sometimes not (all the other apps works fine).
For example fitbit, gesture plus and AccuBattery are unstable.
Navigation bar doesn't work anymore after turning on and off ultra battery saver.
Another developer (from slim navigation bar) told me there are more Huawei smartphones with this issue and don't know the solution for this.
I already went to the settings of the battery and apps and did the necessary changes Huawei costumer service and don't kill my app advices.
But still unstable (as well as by other people I've read on the internet. For some it works and for some not)
So I hoped some smartphone experts overhere did have the solution
Kind regards,
Vincent
Anyone a solution maybe?
