Using Bluetooth mouse on Xoom - Xoom General

Is it possible to use a Bluetooth mouse on a Motorola Xoom II, although the Xoom hasn't got a cursor is it possible
Thanks

Not sure about a mouse but...
I have a Stingray that ran stock ICS 4.0.4 and now is rooted with CM 10.0.0 with JB 4.1.2.
For the last 2 years, I've used an "Apple Magic Trackpad" as a mouse. Finger movement on the Trackpad causes a blue "halo" to appear on the Xoom screen. I also use an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard.
Now, there may be other options but Apple was the only "Bluetooth" input devices when I was looking.

As long as it has anything above android 3.2 it should work.

you can enable pointer location in developer options too.
or even use Droidmote on your touchscreen phone and use that as a mousepad

Absolutely! Moto made their own even and they're really very good. You can buy just the keyboard and mouse together or they do a work and play kit that includes a dock with 3 USB ports, analogue audio out and mini HDMI plus your HDMI cable, a high power adaptor the keyboard and the mouse. The cursor appears once the mouse is active.

Good post. I forgot Moto had their own kit.

No, basically the moto laptop dock is just a lcd screen and keyboard and it uses your phone as the cpu, ram, ext. What you can do is get the media dock a bt keyboard and mouse and use your tv like the laptop dock though.

Yeah, well, I'll deal with that when the time comes. Right now I'm having trouble pairing them when I lean the NC against the side of the PS3. Anyone out there gotten farther than me?

LMAO Is it really 6 inches? I've been planning on doing this too so I could get rid of the 2nd keyboard but oh well. There goes that.

GTA III Questions

I searched the Nexus 7 General and Nexus 7 Q&A and I don't see these questions covered.
I just d/l'ed GTA III on my Nexus 7. It runs nice, but when in landscape, the button placement makes it impossible to use. As in, the game's buttons don't appear on the screen like they do in portrait. The picture is perfect, not cut off or anything. If it helps, I am rooted, and my DPI is stock.
I tried remapping the controls in the game's settings menu, but it would not let me drag any of the buttons from their standard placement.
Anyone have suggestions?
I just grabbed one of those Micro USB OTG Cables and am going to plug a ps3 controller right into the N7.
It worked well on my A500 but the n7 doesn't have a full size USB port obviously.

+1 to this ^^
I use a wired xbox controller through a port and it works fine, also bluetooth ps3 controllers work well. (sixaxis app)
I think there is a GTA 3 setting to move button placement, try that out.

What physical keyboard do you use and why?

I searched back a few months and didn't find to much about people recommending a good keyboard.
So...
Pretty simple what do you use, why and would you recommend it?
Also, I came across this. Do any of you have any information on it?
Google Keyboard. The latest update adds a lot of additional settings; it's fast, free, accurate, and of course from Google! Couldn't ask for much else in a good keyboard.

Like a physical keyboard or app.
Physical keyboard I use a logitech one
Ass for the App I switch of between swype and swiftkey. I like how you can use extensions on swype compared to swiftkey, but I like the accuracy on swiftkey better and the merging of the lanuage into one instead of separate like in swype
My bad, I meant a physical keyboard

I've been using SwiftKey on both phone and tablet, but the poor accuracy on my phone has been annoying lately.

Apple bluetooth keyboard. Extremely light so it's easy to carry, keys feel great, pairs in seconds.

That's my experience as well. It works a lot better on the tablet then on the phone. Probably the keys are to small on the phone...

I use Switkey for the soft keyboard across all devices. For my N10's physical, I use

The keyboard's removable and held in via magnets, and works beautifully

I have that case/keyboard as well. Its a steal for a case and keyboard combothis inexpensive.
I use the HP Touchpad Bluetooth keyboard and gotta recommend it, great shape, nice keys and pretty cheap (I gave £25 for it but seen them just now for £15 on eBay). There are 2 models UK and US spec. Oh and I've had the batteries in there since January so it's all good from my point of view.

I got a Motorola Xoom keyboard off eBay and its been great. Light and almost full size. For some odd reason 2 fun keys are off but for $15 I won't complain.

The HP Touchpad's keyboard really is amazingly good. It's in the same class as the Apple Bluetooth Keyboard in my opinion, and usually a fair bit cheaper. The keys do feel a like they have a tad more "friction" though on the travel.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there also a keyboard/trackpad variant of that keyboard? It looks like it would be an amazing complement to an Android tablet.
As for the Moko case users, they're good (had one on my Galaxy Tab), but I never could get behind the weirdly tiny keys near the spacebar/bad travel, even in such a thin case.

Miracast is awesume!

One reason I got this tablet was to try miracast. I picked up a Panasonic. Blue ray player that supports miracast. It was easy to configure and works great! I don't know why but was surprised that it sends the sound also.

Google is your friend:

Isn't this Miracast that requires the screen to be on all the time ?

Yes, it appears that the screen must be on to enable screen mirroring. That is OK for me. I have it on right now with my 50" plasma TV and using my bluetooth keyboard. I just use the tablet kind of like a mouse pad since I don't know how to naviigate to everything with the keyboard.

Can use app Screen Standby to cut the signal to the screen. Funny is you can still tap
