I was looking for a app to use my DInc as a wireless mouse and keyboard for my home theater and found a app Cale RemoteDroid. It works like a charm. Just passing the word along.

Friend of mine told me today that ones of his co-workers have their phone set-up where it is bluetooth connected to his laptop, His laptop is connected to his home television which makes the tv act as his monitor, then he uses his android phone as the wireless keyboard and trackball for the mouse. He wasn't sure what phone exactly he had, or what app he was using.
My questions are. Is this possible with the eris? If so, is there a specific app you need to get? I know that the Eris doesn't do data over bluetooth, so I don't know if this is something that won't work now, but may work with an upgrade to 2.x. This is something that I would be interested in doing.
I know the Dell Streak is noted to have the ability to use a Bluetooth keyboard with it. And a mouse, I think? Will you be able to use a bluetooth keyboard with the Captivate? mouse? It runs the 3.0 bluetooth, would that be an issue? Can 2.0 bluetooth devices work with 3.0?
View 4 Replies View RelatedThe main reason i wanted a rooted phone was so i could connect to my laptops ad hoc network and use a program for wireless keyboard and mouse. i cant really afford the real thing at the moment and with my laptop hooked up to my flat screen its kind of necessary to have..
So ive rooted my phone and tried a few roms. currently i have this one: [ROM] [05/18/2010] Tainted Vanilla V1.4 OVERCLOCKED - xda-developers
I always run into the same problem though. wired or wireless, i cant get it to connect right. wired never works in any way but i dont really care about that. wireless however shows some signs of working. it shows some data has been sent, not received though. and my computer will detect and connect to it, but seems to lose the signal after a few moments. when i bring up a browser it doesnt even look like something might load. it just says im offline. could someone help me with this?
The other part of this problem is i really just want to connect to my computers ad hoc network and use a wireless keyboard and mouse program. none of them seem that great unfortunately.. recommendations are appreciated. but my biggest issue is that i cant seem to connect to an ad hoc network. i believe my phone detected it only once while i was on the "white widow" rom, but could never quite connect..
In my previous phone Samsung Omnia I could set up mouse pad to be up/down, loft/right highlight/move mode or I set it up as a full mouse capability with the little arrow that I could move just like a computer mouse. Is there a way to set up the full desktop like mouse capability on the Incredible?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI know that a tablet is best used via the touch screen, however I intend to connect my Android Tablet to the TV to watch movies and TV shows from the comfort of the sofa.I've just bought a wireless mouse which works with my Tablet, that is until I want to watch movies or TV shows.
While sat on the sofa, several meters from the TV and Tablet I can control the Tablet with my wireless mouse. No great shakes there but my problems start when I want to watch movies or TV shows. If I watch anything that I captured with my camera or Tablet I can control the aps by bringing up menus so that I can press pause, play fast forward or rewind.
However when I want to watch a movie or TV show I can not find a way to bring up a menu so that I can select pause, play forward or rewind. The only option I get is that when I right click I am kicked out of the movie/TV show and back to the general menu of all my available movies and TV shows.
why I can access playback menus for home produced video but I can't with movies or TV shows?
We have multiple Android phones, including my Incredible, in our house on our wireless network. Is there a way to assign a name to each phone so that they are identified on the router like computers and other devices are? Currently the Android phones just show up as "unknown" device. The Wi-Fi is secured with 128-bit encryption, so I'm not concerned with the neighbors connecting, but it would be nice to be able to see which phones are on the network at any one time.

I have played a bit with the on-screen keyboard and have determined that some designer must have much smaller fingers than me, so I am in the market for a keyboard/mouse that works over Bluetooth.

I have a bluetooth mini keyboard* with a built in mouse and I would like to be able to control my tablet from my couch while it is connected to my TV's HDMI. However, I cannot figure out how to do basic tasks with the keyboard. The keyboard is this type: [URL] ......
Also, I'm not sure if the commands are tablet-specific, Android specific, or if they even exist at all. (I have searched XDA and Google, but because I do not know exactly what keywords to use, I am coming up without answers!)
Shortcuts I mainly need:
1-3) The three icons in the lower left of taskbar (they don't appear through HDMI): Back, Home, and the Prev Apps
4) Change homescreens/swipe left and swipe right (I can long click and move the mouse to do this, but it is difficult to do with my mouse since it is a knob type)
5) Long hold
6) Any other commands... heck, let's make a database if it doesnt exist already!
In case it matters: I am using ICS 4.0.3 stock (with root).
I want to connect my Galaxy Nexus to a TV and control it from my Galaxy Tab via bluetooth. Every app that I found allows me to use my android device as a remote for a pc, not for other Android device...
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have my desk setup with 2 monitors and an Android Tablet sitting in its dock right next to that. I have been doing some research and found a lot of apps that allow you to use the tablet as a monitor for your computer. But that is not what I want to do. I was wondering if there was a way to setup the tablet so that I could move my mouse over from the monitor onto the tablet and control the Android Tablet with my computer's mouse and keyboard in the Android environment. So this way I can run things like Calendar, Email, Hangouts and other apps with my mouse and keyboard just by moving it over from my main displays like I can between a primary and secondary screen.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs it ever so possible for the android OS to make it self look like a mouse/keyboard through bluetooth to allow remote control of a computer without having to have any HOST/SERVER software running on the computer being controlled? If this is possible, that means many devices like the PS3 and shi* would be able to be remote controlled by an android phone no matter what because bluetooth mice and keyboard are accepted by many devices.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got a cheap Speedlink bluetooth mouse from eBay and it works fine with a PC; it pairs up nicely with my Desire HD (running RCMix3d Runny v1.3 ROM) too.
Oddly however, the icon in the 'bluetooth settings' page is not of a mouse, it's an icon of a keyboard.
Pair it up and there's no mouse pointer; move the mouse to the right and the homescreen moves to the next screen - left and you go to the left screen.
Seems my mouse is recognised as a keyboard, oddly enough only emulating the arrow keys. When running Cyanogen 7, it was recognised as a mouse - so what's different here?
Is there anyway of jimmying Android to recognise my mouse as a mouse and not a keyboard?
Anybody have any ideas? SkyRaider 1.9 Beta. The keyboard refuses to open.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSo the Droid is awesome, of course! But, I went to my favorite flash website, wiicade.com in which most games require some kind of mouse movement. However, touching the droid screen and moving makes the screen scroll. How would I be able to use it as a mouse?
For example, one of my favorite games on wiicade is a 3D missle escape game, where you are a missle and you have to avoid hitting walls. However, you would normally control your movement by mouse movements on a PC, or the Wii Controller on the console. But when I try to move my "mouse" on the incredible, it just moves the screen. Is there an app that can handle this? Or is it a just an impossibility due to the way the touchscreen system is designed?
I am thinking about trying ShapeWriter Keyboard but have some concerns before I dive in. Can you also utilized the voice recording function if SW is installed? Also can you revert back to the original keyboard that came installed on the DI phone after installing SW?
View 5 Replies View RelatedAre keyboard-less devices supported? I am developing apps for an Android device that does not have any hardware keys except for a power button and I have been running into hurdles left and right. Not having a keyboard is not a big problem but my lack of hardware Home, Menu, and Back keys is killing me. By sending a "Go to home screen" intent I can simulate the Home key but I have yet to find a way to have software Back and Menu buttons. Worse yet, even if I did get my keys working I don't see how to make them always available to the user. There doesn't seem to be a way to keep them accessable from the status bar and I haven't found a way of creating a floating menu that always stays on top of all other activities. I might be able to bring up my menu using the power button but I'm not sure it will work. Does anyone have any insight into this?
