or something like that .
if any one share some knowledge would be great .

Not sure, but the turning pff part should be doable with Tasker (on the market, not free) while the turning on might be more difficult.

Rii wireless keyboards

I have both the usb version and the bluetooth version of this keyboard. The keyboard functions on both work, but not the touchpad.

Just picked up the Targus BT keyboard. Paired painlessly, works just fine - typing this note using it!

That stand rules. Anybody that is looking for the best tablet stand for their Iconia should grab one.

Could you provide a little more info on the keyboard? Do you have a model number, a vendor link, etc? I am looking for a functional BT keyboard and so far both my Apple and a generic model do not work.
Any additional information would be most helpful.
Thanks!

I just got my stand and the keyboard, they both are great.
FYI the stand is $49.99 at Staples.

FWIW, I can confirm that the Motorola Xoom keyboard works too -- I'm glad to finally find something functional after trying and returning the Apple KB and the Microsoft Arc USB KB. The app shortcut keys don't work on the A500, but home/back/search and volume controls do, as well as regular typing.

Logitech dinovo bluetooth keyboard and mouse pad
I just got one of these and the keyboard works as well as media buttons,touch mouse pad, and right click is same as back and left click is enter. Pairing was simple and would probably work on devices that take usb keyboards but didn't have bluetooth embedded with the included dongle because it pairs with it with a button no software. Would like to get it working in first player games like Modern Combat. Any ideas How?

USB Web Cam? Perhaps?

Any idea if a USB web can can be used before I buy one?

Well, I have a desktop station I am finishing up, it be nice to use a main camera.
Plus, why wouldn't you? I even thought of using it as a back up camera for trips. Hell, even just to experiment.
It would be awesome

usb cam on nexus 7
I have a logitech quickcam pro 9000 mounted on the nexus with sticky mount.
I havent found any application yet to get it working.
I have tried several apks, like "usb cam Controller" and others. Unmounting the camera while this apk is running gives a message "camera detached".

I find most people tend to think anything bigger then a tiny phone or actual camera looks far too silly to use for a camera...
I find the 7 inch tablet standard to be awesome for taking pictures though. I'd be interested in trying to get some external camera to work, just have to see if I even have one lying around though

Check over at slatedroid.com under viewsonic gtablet then under ROM/development. Look through the last 10 pages or so of their ICS thread. They had a USB Cam working (or do a search for USB cam). I'm sure the script or driver could be ported over by someone. Sorry for another website mention, I'm just trying to help. Also you could contact fosser2 at slatedroid (I think he's on xda also).

Are you still using your Q?

Is anyone still using their Q now that it's been completely abandoned by Google? If so, in what ways are you using it? I was hoping someone here would hack the Q, but it looks slim. Should I throw this thing away? I want to use this things amp!

After they shut down the servers for setting them up, I quit using it. If you use cm 10. 2 with amp support and cheap cast its almost like it still works, but i haven't taken the time to put it on yet. There are guides. Don't trash it though. There are still people that will have uses for them as a desktop computer.

I haven't used mine in 6 months either but I am gonna dust it off and try to load 10.2 on it next week now that the hdmi and spidf are working. Does anyone know what keyboard and mouse combos work? I thought it was a Microsoft wireless 800 combo that I was using last time with wireless adb since there's only one USB.

I just installed cm 10.1 using the method posted by user ianandamy. Works great and my input methods are a Microsoft wireless mouse with with an OTG cable connected to the Q, and I have a wireless Bluetooth keyboard. The only things I would like to see fixed are the primal LED lighting function, and a way of powering off the Q other than unplugging it.

yes I am using mine. I have an unfinished build loki gave me i will ask if i can post it once i verify how to set it up, i will use factory image but launch the laucher not the nexus home page which will enable apks to auto start on boot properly.

Does it allow it to run like a chromecast and stream media from the phone ? I miss my original q

Actually found mine in the cupboard the other week, got it working thanks to a few forum posts here, running CM on it, using it as a quick XBMC streamer + android games console with a Moga BT joystick... works a treat.

If you install CM on it and then install cheapcast, you can cast to it as if it was a chromecast.

since putting CM11 on this device it feels and works amazing!!
-full screen immersive mode
-transparency
-snappy
-play store works perfectly

If anyone is in the UK and willing to part with their Q, I'd love to make you an offer!
Just send me a PM

It looks like you can plug a micro-usb cable directly into it without a cradle.....is that the case?

Plug it directly in the watch
Can be rooted with kingroot directly from watch with WiFi on. Military time can be changed in build prop. Use mine all day hasn't died once during the day. No input think its a build prop issue I'm no Dev but there is a lot turned off

Very cool. Does it actually have WiFi and GPS as well? And I think the site mentions a 5MP camera (as opposed the GG's 1.3MP). Can you verify this as well?
Starting to sound like the watch the GG should have been.

i changes time format from 24 to 12 it made watch boot loop any ideas??

this is the Mimi W2, right?
http://www.mimi-hk.com/product.php?id_product=23&id_lang=1
seems to me this is more of a U8 clone, it has the same mic/speaker implementation (phone audio is always on the speaker of the watch, you have to switch manually)
also, the Smartwatch2A.apk that can be downloaded for notifications looks/works exactly like BTNotifier that comes with the U8
and one of the U8 firmware updates changed the icons from black/white to color...

Any update on this smartwatch? ROM? Anybody else using it? Can you read email text, not just notification from your phone on this watch?
The reason I'm asking because I found a similar smartwatch for $70 shipped free from GearBest now: http://www.gearbest.com/smart-watches/pp_70658.html - very tempted!!! MIMI W2S doesn't have camera, uses your phones camera for remote, but everything else is similar and very Gear-like
