Is there software out there that will let you use your ppc as a mouse on your laptop? If not would it be possible to do have such an app that could use the touch screen as a mouse? Or better yet, would it be possible to use the camera on the ppc as sort of a laser mouse? Also could it be used over bluetooth and or USB? Then set up parts of the screen as left and right click buttons with a scroll area.
Just a thought.

not laser i think you mean optical mouse
problem is that optical mice have a dieode to give it
light so it can detect the movements
if you just put your phone on the back
all it will photo is darkness
yes, im current use Salling Clicker to control my PC via Wifi, it have some plugins to control WMP, BSPlayer, and the default system controls are mouse (touch the screen to move the cursor), shutdown, restart work great!
good luck
Sorry, yes it is optical. When I was thinking of this I flipped my mouse over and that darn light shot right in my eye. From that point on all I could think about was LASER's LOL. Going to give Salling Clicker a try, looks very promising although it would be cool to be able to use my phone as an OPTICAL mouse using the camera. And your right with the camera flat on a surface all you see is black, but with the flashlight on and the camera raised slightly off the serface you would be able to detect motion.
Still just thinking out loud.

Please use the Wiki. PPCTablet is what you're looking for - see http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=FullTextSearch&s=ppctablet

Not yet - albeit, for the Smartphone platform, there are some attempts to implement this (see http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...e news: new betas of SmartToolkit and IM+ etc ). It certainly will be MUCH worse (if it will be implemented at all) than the hardware accelerometer-based solutions (see for example Nokia N95), though.
the PPC wifi or bluetooth mouse would be cool! on the wizard the flash diode could supply the light to the camera. I've wanted this ever since I tried PPCtablet.
I can already use my Wizard as a webcam using coolcam. To be able to use it as a mouse would really rock. the ultimate laptop accessory!
I've been using pauls usb host and I can connect a mouse but can't see any cursor. Is there any app or someting to show a cursor. Thanks
I get a cross hair mouse icon if I plug a mouse in. Are you sure the mouse is working properly?
Dont expect every mouse to work. I tried with several different ones, but only a few worked.. and then you have mice like apples mighty mouse, android doesnt have any idea how to work with those. If your mouse works properly you should see the icon as chrishudson said.
I know the mouse is working because it has a light which shines when I plug it in. It could just be that the mouse is not supported or something like that.

all that means is the mouse is taking "power" from the vega's usb doesn't mean the mouse is working and doesn't mean that its compatible with the vega.
I thought it would be that but thanks anyway
I think I saw someone on modaco say that they needed to have their mouse plugged into a USB adapter for it to work correctly .
I'm having the same issue, since the last update my usb mouse isnt working anymore. A few others have reported this over on modaco forums too. Hopefully there will be a fix soon
This appears to be due to the 1.08 and 1.09 based ROMs, 1.06.5 apparantly had an X cursor working... Is it something simple like the pointer image not being in the framework anymore? In 1.08 the mouse actually works, you can flick through homescreens/pull the notification bar down with it, you just can't see the pointer
Zeb
And what is the solution to this problem??? My mouse is registered and it is working, but no pointer appears.
Search the advent vega forum over at modaco someone has podted how to get mouse cursor back.
Hope this helps.
If you head over to vega - modaco - com. Search for "mouse cursor gone" and select the thread with that title there is post on it with a file that fixes this problem.
USB Mouse working on Advent Vega
I have an Advent Vega running Vegacomb and when I plug in a standard usb mouse it picks it up straight away and a cursor appears immediately. No problems whatsoever!

your a fool, if the light comes on that just means the mouse has power going to it. it may not indicate that its a functioning or supported mouse.
i have tried 3 different microsoft optical mice now, the small netbook one, the intellimouse and the larger version of it and they all work fine.
Why the insult.
How did you become a senior member? By leaving lots of insulting comments I assume.
I don't see the point of insulting members by calling them a fool just because they don't understand something.

Hi
As title stated I am just planning to use galaxy note as a device that let me control my bussiness pc even work as office.
There is only one video which is very good example of this on youtube
but ı want to know your experience.
My aim is that
1- Use galaxy note teamviewer to reach bussiness server and wake on line my personel bussiness computer
2- use galaxy note as a remote desktop connect it to a monitör with hdmı cable so that now ı am on vocation and using asus n1215 if this can happen ı am no longer bring this netbook with me. Insteead o this ı will buy a montör and use only galaxy note.
3- use microsoft wireless usb mouse and keyboard by connecting usb cable to galaxy note
If this is possible then every bussiness man no longer have to bring their little computers with them
I am really looking for your answers.
I would like to do this with LogmeIn as well. But I think there is something you should conciser.
You are planning to use a USB mouse and keyboard? The HDMI connector would take up the Notes single port, so unless you have the right splitter, and the Note works with that splitter, I think you will need a bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
I just hope that the App works with the mouse HID drivers. I tried this with my Jailbroken iPhone with BT Mouse stack and the app would not recognize the mouse pointer.
why not bluetooth KB & mouse?
KB: I use Logitech KB for Android
Mouse: MS 5000k
They both work flawlessly.
because Bluetooh keyboard and mouse are more expensive then usb.
In additon to this ı use Nokia N8 now and ı tried microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse by connecting usb device to nokia n8 and it works properly.
I hope galaxy note will be the my final smart phone and ı could use it all daily work activities.
If the soul purpose is to control work PC, why not get VPN to the office and use a proper laptop?
On Topic : I used teamviewer with Galaxy S II to help a friend and it was great.
When I get the note in 5 days, I can perform this experiment for you.

Please let us know teamviewer performance of galaxy note
I use both Teamviewer and PocketCloud for remote connections to my computers. I use both on my GTab 8.9 and my SGS2. Spend the extra money on bluetooth KB/Mouse; it's the ONLY way you will be able to use both AND still use MHL for external display. On that note (no pun intended), both clients display at handset's native resolution for anything except for video. So, no matter what display you use (even 1080p display) you're still going to be "limited" to 1280*800 in your remote client (which really isn't that bad when you consider, that's basically laptop resolutions!).
Another thing worth mentioning is that Android doesn't really have a "right-click," so you're not going to be able to click your right mouse button in your RDP client and get a right-click response. Just FYI.
aside from this, are there any remote desktop apps for android that does not use any client-side..clients? everything i've seen so far needs to have a client installed on the pc

You can have right click depending on the app - Splashtop has long press left mouse button perform a windows right click for example.
I just saw the Galaxy Note at work today and omg what an awesome phone. I understand now that we have changed generations. This is really next gen! The display is incredible!
Anyway, it struck me as well. With the resolution beeing really close to the 1366x768 resolution on my computer. Im excited to know how this works! And if you already got it, congrats!
Interested to know which other apps work with keyboard/mice - Splashtop is the only one I've found that does (but been a while since I tried the others).
I've used Team Viewer a couple of times with my Note and I've even connected a bluetooth mouse to it, whats worth noting is that you will have 3 mouse cursers going on at once when using Team Viewer and a mouse connected to your phone, the mouse will have a curser and the Team Viewer will have a curser and then the client computer will have a curser. And you can't just click with your mouse and control the client mouse, you have to click and drag the Team Viewer mouse to move the client mouse. Left mouse button will click as normal once your Team Viewer mouse/client mouse is in position but right mouse button will function as the back button and try to close the app down, however, there is a mouse button on screen along the bottom that acts as a right mouse button. Hope this makes sense and is helpful!

Sounds awful, that's why I use Splashtop now.
Just for curiosity I connected my bluetooth mouse to my Tab (P6810)... and not expecting much, a little blue pointer popped up in the screen, that was amazing, I didn't really expected that! It's extremely useful when you are using text editors, word processors...etc.
It's not perfect anyway, the wheel doesn't work, but you can click (hold) and move up and down in a document for example, you can double click words to select them, you can click (hold) and move the mouse to change to your left/right home screen, it's fast and very responsive!
Another thing that doesn't work is the right click which is ok because there's not such a thing on android anyway....
I don't think everybody knows about this, try it and share your thoughts!
I'm using a Logitech BT mouse V470 which is the best I've ever seen out there.

I'm currently using a Kensington SlimBlade Trackball Mouse, which works pretty well for me. The trackball includes both vertical and horizontal scrolling. Does the V470 do horizontal scrolling as well? What's the difference between the V470 and the Logitech Tablet Mouse?
I have a Kensington slim blade mouse with its own dongle. I plugged the dongle into the usb OTG connection but it isn't working - do you have the type without dongle?

Correct. Mine is Bluetooth, so no dongle.
My logitech USB mouse with the dongle works just fine with my tab, using the USB connector to the tab. It worked on my S2, so I would have guessed it would work on my 7.7.

EDITED:
Sorry, I just got home and yes, the V420 does have horizontal scrolling... I never really used that option, only the vertical...
Anyway, they don't work in my Tab
Logitech tablet mouse? Wow.. I'm going to check that online....

The Logitech I have is an older MX mouse
http://www.logitech.com/en-ca/mice-pointers/mice/devices/5846
got it ages ago for my laptop so 3 years ago.
Samsung should disable USB support for mice just on principle. Bluetooth or GTFO. Having a wired mouse to the 7.7 just looks so...uncivilized.
Okay, my bluetooth mouse with dongle does work! I think my mouse was in pointer mode on my earlier attempt.

Ok, The Logitech Tablet Mouse looks exactly like mine V420 BUT according to customers reviews on Amazon the horizontal/vertical scrolling DOES work on this one....
I'm probably getting one for my tab and keep the V420 for my laptop....

Wait a second... You have a Bluetooth mouse, and your 7.7 has Bluetooth built-in, and you're using an external dongle instead... WTF!? Why!?

Well, because then you have to have a big ugly dongle and USB adapter sticking out of the tab when you could just use the native Bluetooth support instead. It's...displeasing to the eye.
Anyway, the occasions where I bother at all with a mouse for any phone/tablet I use my trusty Microsoft 5000.

Attitude is just a part of who I am. I am not ashamed of that. Some people might not like it, others don't mind. Frankly, I don't really care either way. Having said that, I generally do my best to tell things as they are and offer my most accurate, honest, and unfiltered opinions, expertise, and reviews. Take that for what it's worth.
Moving along, and speaking of telling it like it is, if your mouse requires a proprietary dongle just for it to work at all, then it's not likely to be Bluetooth (just wireless). See, one of the most important points of Bluetooth, being that is is an open standard and not proprietary, is that anyone can use it. Thus, this eliminates the need for the ugly, cancerous, protrusions known as "dongles."
So, either your mouse isn't in fact Bluetooth (in which case, what are you doing posting in a thread specifically about Bluetooth mice?), -or- your mouse is Bluetooth (in which case, I would like reference my previous statement when I say WTF!? WHY!? Why would you totally defeat the purpose of Bluetooth by using a redundant, ugly, external adapter as opposed to the internal and integrated one already in the 7.7?)
Logitech dinovo mini works fine, I can even wake up the tab from sleep! Thanks for the idea!

I'm using a Microsoft BT Notebook Mouse 5000, and it works just fine as well. I just wish ScummVM would have better mouse controls, since that's my main use for a mouse...
Not just mouse
I also have the sam keyboard for this time. its sweet.
i dont travel with laptops anymore, since i just need my email and some MS Office stuff.
i connect the BT mouse, and keyboard when needed and works like a charm!
It looks cool as well, at least in my opinion....
I have not been able to connect an older Think Outside BT mouse to the N4. The mouse connects to the laptop. I have attempted the discovery several times and the N4 will not see the mouse.
Works
Odd, the phone was not restarted, everything the same, and this time paired the first time.
This may become a car mouse. The mouse wheel switches between home screens. Now if I could figure out how program the mouse wheel to flip through 3 or 4 selected or open apps it would be the Jetsons.

This has been the best suggestion so far. There is something I find disorienting when using tiny touch controls for Mort, GPS, and a few others, while mounted on the dash and going down the highway. The car mouse rocked for the 2215 and the Axim.
Why would you want to use a PC mouse on a phone ? If it was a tablet then it's understandable. It's just redundant...

External Monitor. Have not done this yet.
I have a desk with two levels, top level the N4 sits in an Griffin Arrowhead stand in front of the monitor. I see over the N4 just enough to see all of the monitor. Using the mouse gives me an unobstructed view, it is fast, and comfortable, for some task.
I have a mouse pad that I made for the car that has a slight lip and was used with my PPCs. The N4 provides navigation. entertainment, and communications and is in a vent mount. I am really bad at using the N4 while driving and I think it to be dangerous (for me). Not all finger friendly buttons are the same, some are hard to use on the road. I have failed to find a fast and easy to use task switcher as I am not sure I will root. I would like to make the mouse wheel switch between 3 or 4 apps. The car mouse allows me to use devices like the N4 ( mostly my Axim in the past) without altering my driving position.
I do miss the Axim's many hardware, mappable, indestructible, buttons. The Axim had 2 memory card slots. Back then we wanted USB OTG support so bad. My Imagio and it's buttons was a POS. Sometimes I think the N4 is a sidestep in the right direction. The biggest plus for these pretty, fragile devices is the OS, Android is greatness, Winmo was fun but at the same time hell hell.
i've tried a speedlink snappy BT mouse with no luck.
It's discovered and it pairs etc. but no cursor or response to movement/ buttons.
The same mouse works fine on my Dell laptop and a Blackberry Playbook.
