How could I have my tab hooked to a monitor and use a keyboard at the same time? Is it possible or do I again run into the bluetooth problem?

You could use the rca cable to have tv out, or use the dock which has hdmi output, and use a bluetooth keyboard.
The cable is $30, from ebay, the dock is at least $50, and I don't know the cost for bt keyboard.
Last time I checked you couldnt use a bluetooth keyboard with the Verizon SGT because of missing bluetooth HID driver.

Its possible the keyboard dock will just pass through the proprietary port and you can then plug a TV adapter into the dock. Ill try it and let you know, the downside of course is you'd be on battery power the whole time.
Hi all,
I'm deciding to buy this or the Transformer. They way I see it, the major selling point of the Iconia is the on-board USB. But how well does it work?
I could not find a simple USB compatibility thread here for the Iconia. If someone could forward it to me, please let me know. If there is no such thread, can anyone answer....In general, are these compatible with Iconia:
USB Hub, unpowered, with keyboard and mouse
USB Hub, powered, with keyboard, mouse, and Hard Drive
Generic USB storage dongles
GSM modem dongles
Card readers.
I can say that the following works just fine on my acer:
- unpowered usb hub with keyboard and mouse
- any brand usb thumb drive or usb hard drive (it can only read fat32 formatted though, unless you root it)
Don't have any experience with card readers or gsm dongles.
I can say for certain that a powered 7 port hub and 7 USB flash drives attached all at once works. The hub was a belkin and the drives were all PNY 4GB. It also "sees" a USB DVD+RW drive, but I didn't have filesystem modules for UDF/ISO so I couldn't mount it.
edit - oh yea, a wireless mouse(Rocketfish) and Razer wired keyboard.
I've tried using a microsoft wireless keyboard 800 through by plugging the dongle into the usb port, unfortunately i cant get it to work. Any advice on this? I'm using it on the a501 with honeycomb 3.0 btw (stock unrooted)

I fiddled around with the keys...it seems the tablet is detecting the physical keyboard because the touchscreen keyboard doesnt automatically launch in documents or other places when required. Unfortunately, the only buttons which seem to be working from my external keyboard are the volume button controls. HELP!!!

Update to 3.1, that apparently should help.

USB speakers?
Entirely USB, or just using USB for power and plugging into the audio jack?
I got a set of speakers at work that are entirely USB, and I have to try em with my A500 now!
I've always liked USB. Fiddling with what hardware works or not is part of the fun, for me at least.

I was surprised to see that android had no problem using my sega saturn usb control pad. I posted some videos of it on youtube. My username on youtube is mwales.
Working on A501 running rooted 3.01 HC stock firmware:
Unpowered USB hub
USB flash drives and external hard drives (I use 'drive mount' from market to read NTFS partitions)
Logitech Cordless Desktop MK 250 (keyboard and mouse)
To use a mouse on 3.01 I use the mouse.apk from this post:

I have a Microsoft wireless desktop at home and after plugging in the usb dongle, the mouse worked, but not the keyboard.
I then went to work and tried a friends Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse with the USB dongle and both worked perfectly.
So basically I would suggest giving it a try or be prepared to take back whatever one you buy if it doesn't work.
yeah. I have a logitech combo. It works.
Does our Galaxy Note supports a keyboard via Bluetooth or wired......???
It does support a Bluetooth keyboard, dontbthink wired would work
Anyways why would you want a keyboard for note, the screen is big enough to type, I hate the original samsung keyboard due to the mistakes it makes when I type really quick so I currently use smart keyboard pro which I am loving!

I am pretty sure someone used a USB keyboard through USB otg
The answer is yes.
I connect my Logitek MK 250 wireless keyboard and mouse to my Note using a USB OTG cable.
You can connect both USB and Wireless Bluetooth keyboards. Same goes for flash-drives (USB sticks). You just need the adapter.
Hi folks,
Recently i purchased a Samsung Multimedia Dock, and am loving it already as its converting my super smart S4 to a Super Smart computer....
only thing i want help from you is can i connect a Wireless mouse/keyboard [using the dongle -mouse/keyboard]
I tried with one of the very old[2years] wireless keyboard/mouse that i am using with my laptop but it didnt responded to the Dock.
Note: normal wired mouse and keyboard where working with DOCK. and also this wireless keyboard/mouse that am trying is a IR based one i believe. also its a one dongle vs both keyboard & mouse.
please help me in this regard
thanks
