[Q] Anyone tried a bluetooth keyboard? - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys!
Just wondering if anyone has tried a bluetooth keyboard with the Note 3 yet. I remember using one on the Note 8.0 I had briefly was an exercise in pain. Do they work okay? Do they have any of the weird key-freezing/repeat problems?
Thanks!

Yea, been using one for a solid 2 weeks now. Works fine for me. No sissues. Just wish I could figure out how to bind the fox 12 keys as shortcuts like home or volume etc. But as just a keyboard with normal functions it works just fine. Even got alt+tab.

Would you mind telling me which keyboard you got? I'm wanting to get something of decent quality (Logitech, maybe?) that is also confirmed to work.

yea, I'm actually using an Apple wireless (M/N: A1314) that i got at goodwill for $6 with my note 3, but I feel a Logitech should work just fine as well.

[Q] Apple Bluetooth Keyboard compatibility

I am wondering if the Nexus 10 will work with this keyboard. It worked with my SIII, and I wanted to make sure it would work with the 10 as well. I'm also planning on flashing Paranoid Android to this at some point, so if you know if it works with that as well, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks
It works great. I use it everyday.

how did you get it to work? I tried while in stock, and now again in PA, but it won't connect.
I use a clone of the Apple Keyboard every day. Works great.I would assume the actual keyboard works good as well, if not better.

Pressy will it work for note 3?

I would use this to free ram from task manager with one click how cool would that be what would you use yours to do?
either nobody is imterested or they all have one on order lol
I have a green Kickstarter Edition of Pressy on order. It won't ship for a few months still. But yes I don't see any reason it wouldn't work its designed to work with the app they are writing for it.

Green one here too.
I don't know how I'll use mine, I backed them up because it was a good idea

Will work
Hey jutley, RaptorMD and IIIPowerIII, thanks for backing our project! The kickstarter edition is gonna be awesome
About your question - yes, Pressy will work on the note 3.
Geva Tal,
Pressy Team.
I've backed as well. Great idea.
I would use mine for
Task killer
Discreet camera
Shortcut to group me app for work
And to keep lint and junk out of my headphone jack since I NEVER use the jack. I use Bluetooth headphones
And other uses
Great idea !!
Just commenting to say I backed as well.. Can't wait for it to come out.
I will probably mostly use it to open the camera app
Its really an innovative solution that will allow for some many different functions. I know I will set one "pressy" function to call my wife so I don't have to set a speed dial.
I have a black one on order. Probably going to use it to turn on torch and camera.
So its time for a lil bump
Who received their pressy?
I love mine, the quality is great. I don't have any issue at all on my Nexus 5, Galaxy S5 and Note 3. Everything work perfectly.

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.

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

[Q] TV Remote

Hey G2 users , I think of buying this phone in this month. So I want to ask is there a TV Remote app like in HTC One or Galaxy S4?
Yes

It is fantastic. You can make custom remotes, program custom profiles, everything. It is fantastic.

Except it has not very good range. IR sensor is quite small.

Trying to use it is also kind of a pain, I find myself having to really aim at the sensor location on the TV to get it to work.
I guess it's ok though since I don't plan on using this since I have my TV remote. To me, it's just a nice-to-have thing in case my TV remote ever craps out or gets lost.

Mirrorlink vs MHL Appradio3

So I just bought the appradio3 for my car for use with my S4 and I'm wondering what is the best way to connect it. Ideally I would like full mirroring of my phone to the radio. I already ordered the android kit and the mirrorlink cable so I can chose how I want it set up later and return the other if I don't want it. I found the full screen mirror apk for drivelink already and have it installed currently. ARliberator currently does not support appradio 3.
The question I'm wondering is if drivelink will work with aosp roms as currently I'm using Task's aokp, or will I need to switch to a Samsung based rom, or google edition rom.
No one here has the radio or tried using mirrorlink on aosp?
I've been using Sony xav 601bt with mirror link. Using a modified app of mirror link that allows full mirroring. I have stock s4 on 4.3 with no issues. It can be a little laggy.
Btw I installed my friends app 3 and I absolutely hated it. Requires an additional kit and doesn't allow full mirroring. Also was disappointed in the deck it self just wasn't as great as I thought.
Good luck on your choice.

Thank you for your advice. I just saw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78wq62aErK0 which looks pretty promising. Even better the app is currently free and looks to work very well.

We tried this with my s4 and my friends note 2 and they would not work with full mirroring that's why I was disappointed. But if you get it to work let me k ow what you did please.

Got it to work. It took a minute to get the app radio app working. Had to connect the usb first then enable blue tooth. The phone booted to the default appradio screen then once I hit the home button on my phone I had full screen mirroring.

Nice we will try this out and see how it works. I think he is able to full mirror but can't control his phone. My Sony xav allows me to full mirror and control my phone as well. Just have a bit of lag.

Screen Standby doesn't work with Android 4.3. It seems to be a bug in 4.3 and the developer hasn't found a workaround. Screen Standby works on Samsung 4.4 roms though.

That must be why it severely sucks atm with my 4.3 rom. Haven't found a 4.4 rom I like yet unfortunately, everyone is missing at least one thing I want.
I'm not sure if it's already resolved, but there's an app for that. It's called ARUnchanged. But you have to have root access in order for ARUnchanged to work.
