USB Mouse. Where's my pointer?

Guys,
Just plugged in a USB mouse via the 4in1 socket. The device powers the mouse after a soft reset and I can use the scroll wheel to scroll.
Anyone know if there's a facility to enable a mouse pointer like on the Athena?
Cheers.

Hi waveydavey.
Did you mean Orbit?

I also want to know, USB keyboard works faultlessly

Oops. Yep, pretty much. What I meant to say is:-

Clear something up for me guys. With my T-Mo Ameo, i received the the mains charger, a USB cable, and a VGA out cable. Should there be another one for connecting USB devices? What is this 4 in 1 socket?

Hi,
It's an optional cable, which you can buy:
http://www.expansys.nl/p.aspx?i=145166

Thanks, I've ordered one.

Yep, I have one too. Hence the question.
I've tried USB Keyboard, Hard drive and Mouse. All seem to work, but I need a mouse pointer to see where the mouse is pointing obviously and I can't seem to find one.

Sorry for hijacking your thread Mr Wavey, as soon as my cable arrives I'll see if I can answer your question

Hi
I've tried the 4-1 cable and have also had no luck with the mouse pointer. Tried downloading the iGo Stowaway BT drivers but no luck. I think I will wait for expansys to get the new iGo BT mouse in stock in April (about £35) - they list the Advantage as being compatible. Unless anyone has any other ideas?
On a seperate note - I've managed to get VGA out working on my LCD TV through the PC input but have so far not had any look with sound. Ideally I would like to be able to plug in into my aux of my hifi but so far my cables don't seem to work?
Any ideas anyone?
Cheers

SPheler.....
I found application called sphelper, it was meant for smartphones to enable one to run. ppc software...and it gave an on screen cursor
www.bobsoft.com/sphelper
Shows a cursor....
I will try it, unplugging now
....
..
plugged in mouse, the mouse still works but its invisible and my cursor is in the middle of my screen
Oh well, I didnt have much hope. Just thought I might be lucky...
The search continues......

Problem solved
I have found a lurverly little tool discovered/created? by non other than Paul who runs www.modaco.com
http://www.modaco.com/Athena-Test-Mouse-Driver-t253431.html
Try this my brothers, it's nifty it is.
Remember to:
-Install cab file
-Soft reset device
-Only then, once you have seen the little screen pop up saying test mouse or something, plug in the adapter and the mouse.
I have found it works exceedingly well. The pointer can stutter slightly but I have not found it a problem at all.
Enjoy!

I don't really want to sign up with Modaco just to get the file.
Can you upload it here?
Good find, by the way....

I might get flamed but....
Custom built CAB based on http://www.geocities.jp/jsus_y/usbmouse/usbmouse.html
All props to Paul

Cheers for that.

The cursor disappears when screen is tapped
Cursor disappears when screen is taped. Need to unplug and plug before it comes back. So I sesist the temptation to tap the screen

Thanks for that Yarod....you're right, it works a treat!! I can live with the occasional stutter. The Athena is becoming ever closer to a Mobile PC.....just with a different more limited O/S but superb connectivity options.

Hello, had someone else testing this programm on a Ameo with German language?
I install it and get the massege "new USB Mouse" but nothing happens :-(

just click ok and plug in your mouse. remember not to plug in before soft reset. the language does not matter.

O.k. I do a soft reset, than i tapped on o.k. after this i plug in my mouse.... nothing happens.
Is there a special brand of mouse that works with this programm?
I would be so happy if it works

UMPC???? No THX....i've got my Athena :-)

Nice video!
What mouse are you using? Can you provide a model number and manufacturer name?

It's an unknow brand but i see others like this (probably same product) on ebay branded MSI.

Congrats. You gonna love it.

I wonder if it would support a BlueTooth keyboard with built in trackball or something similar.

Is Teksoft Bluemouse 1.0 free?

test results...
I got home and tested the setup with my LogiTech Mx900 Optical mouse. The Athena recognized the mouse and connected to it like a champ. I then installed the Teksoft Bluemouse 1.0 software. I had to soft reset my device twice. Sometimes happens. On the second boot, the little icon for Teksoft Bluemouse 1.0 was in the tray and I saw the mouse cursor...EXCITED. But, when I tried to use the mouse, the cursor jumped all over the place and I wasn't able to really use it. I have it disabled for now. I'm going to wait for other users to test this out. I didn't get a chance to test it through Remote Desktop because it wasn't working well on the Athena's Today screen.
This link references the problem I'm experiencing and the forum explains that a fix will be released in the next version.
http://www.teksoftco.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2881
Some of my customers use a BlueTooth mouse so I'm going to try different models and see if I can get better results. The next one I may try is a Kensignton mini as well as a few others. I'll provide my results once I've had a chance to perform further testing.
If anyone has better results or the same or worse, please let us know. I'm anxious to purchase a mouse that works.

This one works and I have/use it.
Targus AMB02 rechargeable bluetooth notebook mouse cost about 48 euro
Note the model number! There is a LASER BT mouse from Targus which did not work for me.
Sorry I could not post link cos I am off in a hurry

do you guys need to install any driver for BT mouse?
I think it's just a matter of driver for WM5/6. right?
time will come... :-D

I do the same thing!
Although I don't use Wisbar Advance, I use TrueVGA. And the Remote Connection feature is absolutely great!

Ok, thanks. I'm going to try several different ones. I totally forgot about Targus. They have the little mouse which are good.

The only "driver"/software I had to install was for the mouse icon. The mouse itself was picked up by my phone without a problem. I could click on the screen but I didn't know where the icon was. If you have a BlueTooth mouse, try to bind it to your phone and see if it shows up. Make sure you select input device once you get it connected. I just used "0000" as the pin and mine worked.

I paired and used my Apple Pro bluetooth keyboard without problems.
I can type away on the full qwerty keyboard with no need for a usb 4in1.
Where can I get the Mouse pointer software? I want to try both KB and mouse as I have the MS bluetooth explorer mouse.

Not all mice work with this product. One I know for sure that does is as follows:
AnyCom BTM-100
- Bluetooth 1.1
- Work Time = Up to 20 Hours
- Stand by Time = Up to 2000 Hours
- Resolution 800 DPI Optical
- Profile is HID with boot support
- Powered by 2x AAA Ni-Mh batteries and rechargeable with USB adapter (included)
- Radio Class 2
- Chipset CSR BC01
- Dimensions (H x W x T), 28.5 x 48 x 100.5 mm...or in inches 1.12 x 1.88 x 3.397.
- Weight 48 grams excluding batteries
Very sleek, small/portable and sexy looking. Matches my black x7500 and works perfectly with my athena. I tried at least 6 different mice with this software and only two worked.

really...but the thing izz that the mouse connected and even scrolling and clicking some things izz possible...it's just the MOUSE POINTER THAT WON'T SHOW UP!!!

That's a symptom of the compatibility issues. I ran into the same thing. The point of BlueMouse is to provide the cursor. You can have it click and stuff without BlueMouse as I did with some Logitech mice.
It was frustrating for me during testing also. What mouse do you have?

Have you updated your device to WM6? If you did then uninstall BlueMouse as there is native mouse support in WM6 and it works great. I just tried it and won't be using BlueMouse again unless they provide enhancements that the native functionality doesn't offer.

HOW TO!?
DUDE... I WOULD UPDATE IT IF I KNEW HOW TO...i really dont know WHAT to download and WHAT to use...i've only update and modded my Nokia Phones Before... I REALLY NEED HELP...!!!

If you have the x7500/Advantage like i do, then use the HTC distro on the links.

- Remove SD card. Not necessary as mine worked with SD card inserted but it'll help avoid potential issues.
- Synch your device, to backup contacts, etc.
- Download the file from the link I posted. This is the ROM update for the x7500 from HTC. Ignore the other files on the other post.
- Run the file you downloaded from the link off of your PC. It'll run an update on your phone through ActiveSync. It'll wipe out all contents and install WM6.
This will run and upgrade your device. Don't forget it's going to wipe it out and set it up with WM6 with factory defaults. Enough to get you going?

Yes WM6 will be installed and no need for BlueMouse or additional BT driver. Mouse, if compatible, will work "direct".

Try deleting mouse from device then pair again. If it doesn't work then it may be that the mouse is just not compatible with WM6. When you pair the device, can you click around and get actions to happen or nothing happens?

HTC HD as drawing board

Hey!
I bet there is someone asked this before, but I seached the forums and didt get any results.
Since the HD got such a big screen in size, it could be cool to be able to connect it to a PC and use it as mouse like a drawing board. I downloaded Paint to the mobile and worked great to draw with the pen, so maybe it could be possible to make a program to use it as a mouse?

Heh, that's a cool idea! I wonder why this has never been done before with earlier smartphones. Or at least not as far as I know.

Could you install and use the Remote Desktop client on your Touch to control your computer mouse?

Have you tried Gremote? You can connect via wifi and use your screen as a touch pad, and you can also use the accelerometer to control you mouse pointer.
I've only tried it on Kaiser, so not sure about working with the WVGA screen.

in diamond apps forum or wiki
get an eye on diamond forum, you can connect your phone via bluetooth and using it like a logitech mouse.

I found a program

[Q] Bluetooth drivers for Keyboard??

Hi all, does anybody know if the tab has bluetooth HID (human interface device) drivers to run extenal keyboards??? Anyone tried, and if yes wich keyboards are working?? I like the upcoming Samsung keyboard, but don't think it is very portable especially if traveling, so I thought I would like to buy one of those folding keyboards, but don't want to through away my money...
Thanks

Just tried a Logitech DiNovo Mini and it works perfectly. You even get a mouse pointer on your Tab, that you can move around with the touchpad.
