Is it possible/easier to hook up a bluetooth keyboard to the eris with root? I'm aware that there are two third-party apps out for these but from what I've read, neither work for the eris.

Hi,
So I have been looking for information on which bluetooth mice work with the samsung vibrant. I currently have an apple bluetooth keyboard working well with the vibrant, but I'd love to have a mouse as well.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
EDIT: Here is a video of a guy using a bluetooth keyboard and mouse with his vibrant: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21aVbYpgrRA - so how do we do it with a mouse and pointer?
EDIT:His XDA post can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8447646

Don't think this would work - there's no on-screen cursor.
Ditto. I remember Cyanogen added it as a feature not too many revisions back, so it isn't part of AOSP. Unless Samsung choose to add it... You can see where that is going.
So this is a video I saw a while back of a guy using a bluetooth keyboard AND MOUSE on his Vibrant. I'd like to do the same. How do I do it, and what mice will work? I know you two said that it can't be done, but this is proof otherwise.

I suggest you contact him. He mentions using a leaked build, so it definitely isn't a mainstream feature yet.
edit .. Bluetooth HID is a standard, so all you really need to do is figure out what build he found it in and any bluetooth mouse should work.
Okay, so I found his XDA post under the i9000 section.

mouse definitely works.. i use Apple's Mighty Mouse (pass: 0000) wireless without a problem... the scroll wheel works as the ones on the older HTC models...
I have a G2 (with a physical keyboard) and I keep thinking about how awesome it would be as a Bluetooth keyboard for the Xoom. Is this possible? Is it already out?

Hey,
Does anyone know how to get a bluetooth keyboard (microsoft wireless entertainment 7000) to work with SE Arc? Woud be great to hook phone up to TV and use that to browse web......Also pairing a mouse would be pretty handy feature?
I've researched it, and apparently Androind 2.3 does have a HID implementation but its not simply a case of activating in the UI?
Cheers!
I've done some searching and can't seem to find a definative answer to this one. I have a Droid 2 stock ROM after the latest OTA update (version 2.3.3) rooted.
I also have a gTablet that is not stock ROM. I have a Navigation application that does onboard navigation just fine but I need a GPS source.
I've tried several ways to use my Droid 2 as the GPS transmitter that can be recieved by the tablet without success.
Does anyone have any suggestions or apps that they could point me to to make this type of function a reality?
Thanks in advance.
I've searched other threads and other forums but can't seem to find anything regarding my specific problem. I can scan for and pair with bluetooth devices from the bluetooth settings menu. However, I cannot connect to any devices. It always says "paired but not connected." I have tried both soft and hard reboots but get the same problem. Here's the crazy part. If I use a third party application that requires bluetooth connectivity (such as text messaging, bluetooth file transfer, or PDANet), I can connect to the paired devices and use them appropriately even in other apps and with a pretty decent range. However, bluetooth settings in the settings menu still shows the device as "paired but not connected" even when it is clearly connected and functioning properly via third party apps. I can also connect to the NC from other devices like the phone or computer though the NC still shows the device as "paired but not connected." The reason this oddity is a problem for me is because I cannot find a third party app to allow me to connect my headset, keyboard, or mouse through another route. The NC will find and pair with the devices but will not connect. I'm using CM7 stable version 7.1 and it was a clean install from stock. Is there any way to fix this issue to allow me to connect to devices like keyboards, mice, and headsets, or can someone point me to an app I may have somehow missed that will allow me to connect to these devices through a third party app?
So I have found a couple of applications that will connect the mouse and keyboard but still no go on the head set? Does anyone know of a fix for the problem of not being able to connect from the settings screen or alternatively of an app that will connect the headset as a workaround? The headset is a Plantronics 520.
Guess no one can help with this one. Tried flashing the latest nightly build but that only temporarily fixed the problem. I'll assume this is a shortcoming in the ROM and keep looking for a third party app that might provide a workaround.

So you say you can't use a bt headset with CM7.1? I'm sure my wife did use a headset w/ our cm7.1 nook-color... never tried a keyboard or mouse... I have a computer for that...
