Bluetooth HID

Any idea if this is added/supported in the Nexus One?
Would love to use my iGo keyboard with the Nexus One

Would be nice to use the trackball on my computer.

Not as nice as you're thinking, since the trackball is actually just over a dpad. It only registed up down left and right, not any diagonals.
GMote lets you use your touch screen as a touchpad for your computer, try it out, I use it to control Hulu Desktop.

TP2 as a Remote keboard??

Hi,
I was thinking to buy a Logitech dinovo keyboard for my HTPC
http://ces.cnet.com/i/bto/20080104/lifestlyerichblog_540x360.JPG
... but then I wounderd if there is any application for WM6.5 that could use bluetuth to control a PC keybord.
I know i could use RDP client on my phone but then I get the screen on the phone as well..
I just want to use my TP2 as a keyboard remote to a Win7 PC with wifi or bluetouth..
Is this possible, does it exist a program for this?

Look for gremote .cab or also nueUSBKeyboard.
Both of these are located in this thread under Utilities. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550973
I have tried the latter and it is what it is...just a keyboard through USB. Gremote I gave a shot...but was having trouble getting my Bluetooth to work on my PC...my issues not the program.

Touch Pro 2 as remote BT Keyboard
I saw an app (believe it or not) on the Windows Mobile Marketplace for $1.99
called MobileRemote that does exactly what you are looking for including mouse functions.
It uses BlueTooth to connect as an HID Keyboard.
It's from MobileSRC.
Cheers

You might look into GRemote, it does everything. However, just at tip, if you buy any keyboard software that uses Bluetooth, make sure you test the trial version first. I know quite a few of the mouse/keyboard programs don't work on the Rhodium because of the Widcomm Bluetooth stack used instead of the Microsoft Bluetooth stack.

Wow, Thanks everybody!!
Now I have some things to tryout in the weekend..
Cheers!

Gremote works best over WiFi. I use it daily on my media center and love it. I'm planning on buying the paid version soon.
BRETT

I love GRemote, but it's sad that the computers that I'd use them on the most (work and school PCs) don't allow me to install the necessary software!

Wow Gremote was everything I wanted!
Works great with XMBC and Aeon skin
Thanks!

Ah man..u guys suck..now I gotta try wifi with gremote

gremote is working over wifi...however I cannot use any of the menus or settings on host PC. Is this a Trial limitation or something wrong with the install?
I can open settings program from taskbar...but nothing further.

wifi on my TP2 to a Win7 x64 works fantastic.... Playing around for some hour and now a get use to use it like a normal mouse.
one thing that is anoying is that gremote on the tp2 always turn on BT,, cant find any way to disable it

I am using it to type and tether. I can feel the waves killing my brain cells but, it feels good. lol I might have to fork up the 14 bucks to pay for the full service just to get the annoying demo message to go away. now if only I could get it to work on my Xbox 360. hmmmm jk
the app rocks!
oh... but i did find one problem. when typing using hardware keyboard; I can't seem to get the touchpad to work. or any of the control buttons. "DEL, TAB, CTRL, ALT" anyone know what is up with that?

mouse pointer

I've looked and looked but havent found it yet.
Has anyone created a mouse pointer for android or more specific the desire ?
Just a mouse pointer which u can control with the optical trackbal/thingy,
and is there a program to regulate the optical trackbal's sensitivity.
Yes it are two questions i know, but i've been looking for almost 3 days now.
I'm hoping that i used the wrong query , and that one of you guys can tell me that i didn't look good enough
and then drop a link as proof of the matter

If I may ask, what would be the point of a mouse pointer on android?

I'd like to use it for remote desktop for instance
and some times the view i select for my browser is to wide to easily select a link or something because it is to small a mouse could come in handy then.
just a few examples

for the desktop just try gmote, it is in the market.

that doesn't do the trick + i'm not going to install gmote on al my servers
i'll stick to the standard rdp client
and rdp was just an example even for chess it might come in handy
, for single hand use it is also more convenient instead of having to zoom in al the time because you're thumbs are too thick you can just use the mouse pointer.
i can't be the first who thought of it? or can i ? i used it on my windows mobile phone all the time of course winmo wasn't nearly as fingerfriendly as my desire is but still

As a remote desktop app I can advise you "Xtralogic Remote Desktop Client". It has a great way of using your mousepointer in my opinion.

Just an FYI, but you can use the trackpad to select links when browsing - very convenient if you are zoomed out.

Onlive app.

Has anyone tried Onlive app from market place yet on the Streak?
I was able to download the app and started a trial game but not sure how to use it without a keyboard. Any ideas.
Cheers,
David.

There are only so many supported touch screen games...
Look for the finger (next to the pad or keyboard),
This means it has touch controls.
They are bringing out a bluetooth controller for it which will work with all games (due before christmas)

Thanks for that. Will a normal bluetooth keyboard work?

Not sure m8.

Keyboard + mouse for games?

I just paired my bluetooth keyboard and mouse to my N7. I should have tried this sooner. It's an awesome experience.
Is there a way to play games like Dead trigger using the keyboard and mouse like a PC FPS game?

Curious - Which keyboard and mouse are you using?

Im curious too how could i use my keyboard and mouse as gamepad, in dead trigger all i can do is move with WASD buttons.
when i try to customize gamepad in settings. but i cant change anything from the defaults.. and that is frustrating.
Phon eis SGS3 mouse is microsoft bluetooth notebook mouse 5000 and keyboard is microsoft bluetooth mobile keyboard 6000.

Its really awesome using my xbox controller with onlive and any other game that supports it. I would love a true list of games that support different inputs.

This app should do the trick. Need root though. I haven't tried it myself yet but looks awesome. I wish there was a way for devices with hdmi out to actually turn off the tablet while playing on a large screen

check this video out of someone mapping it for a fps:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eiiL3gaDnU
I'd like to hear someone's review specifically for a fps and how well the mouse handles. It doesn't look like he has the sensitivity that high and I'm not sure if it can be set so you can do a quick-flick 180's.

anyone get it working?

I used ShareKM and then, for dead trigger, this is the default weird configuration :
1) Directional keys to move around.
2) I,k,j,l to look around.
3) a,d to switch weapons.
4) 7 to use ironsight, 8 to reload and 9 to fire.
Too bad cant change the configuration of this. Also, I seem to have some trouble using the new app "TinCore Mapper".
