I have a logitech laptop USB mouse that works w/ the dock, except for the scroll wheel. Is there some kind of settings screen for the mouse once you plug it in? Do I have any chance of getting this working properly? I also can't seem to hold down the button and highlight text for cut/paste.
Thanks,
Brian
Scroll wheel works fine here with a Razer Orochi
You can't highlight text on holding button since Android doesn't support it, just hold mouse button (like longpress on the screen) steadily and you'll be able to select text
My scroll wheel kind of works in some apps. It is useless though as it skips one line at a time and doesn't always even do that. Is there a way to get to a mouse configuration or setup screen somehow?

I have an AT&T Captivate with teamhacksung's build 13. When I connect the BT mouse I only have "Back" and "Click" buttons functioning. I used to be able to do "Back", "Click", "Menu", "Search" from stock froyo. Is there a way to redefine the buttons or add additional function?

I know ICS in tablet mode allows the menu and search options on screen but would like to have quicker access to those rather than treating the mouse like a Macintosh one
Is anyone using a mouse in ICS with their i717? More specifically, a bluetooth mouse? I have 3 buttons and a scroll wheel on the mouse, but they all do the same thing; select. Typically right click is back, and clicking the scroll wheel is 'menu'. has anyone gotten this stuff working? I like to set up my not eon a stand and click around with a bt mouse I have on my desk.
Yeah, I have a wireless usb and i have the same issue. I suppose its just the way they have the mouse setup on ICS. Well atleat on our build of ics atleast. Maybe there is an app that allows you to modify the button input layout possibly.
Hi all,
I have just bought a Targus bluetooth presenter for my galaxy tab. It works a treat and was only £5 so I am very happy with it. With a little editing of the key layouts I have been able to get some of the useless buttons to do things like home and menu. It all works perfectly and now I have just one thing I want to do but don't know if it is possible.
I want to map a key to be a sticky mouse down so that I can pan across the screen because it is just about impossible to hold the mouse button down at the same time as moving the track pad. The ideal is to be able to press a key - it locks down - I scroll around as needed then press the same key (or if needed another one) to simulate lifting the mouse button up again.
Is this even possible? If so can anyone point me in the right direction?
Keverso.
Has anyone tried this remote?https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B00U3PFUAC/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A34OAPZOHWTNSP
Does the mic work with Google now? Does the home button take you to launcher home? Can you turn your TV off and change volume,? Cheers

I've tried a few remotes with a few android boxes I've had and this one is the best I've found. I bought the one called 'Aerb' but you'll see a number of resellers on ebay selling the exact same device. It runs on 2 AAA batteries.
What I really really like is that the four coloured buttons on the bottom AND the big red power button on the
top left are learning/programmable IR blasting, so you can program them to turn your TV on/off, change inputs, increase TV volume etc. using your TV remote. The other buttons are not programmable.

This is the best remote by far I have purchased for this box. I am far away from my player right now but I will try and confirm if the mic works with it asap...

Does the home button bring you to the home screen ? And by programming the bottom color buttons to change the volume or do the actual volume buttons work? Also its to bad the buttons don't light up . Thanks that would be awesome if you could check the mic . Also are you able to like use the remote underneath a blanket or do you have to point it at the dongle?

- yes

- you program the coloured buttons on the bottom using your TV remote, so they will turn the volume on your TV up and down, NOT the vol on the android software.
Also its too bad the buttons don't light up.
- no they do not.
Thanks that would be awesome if you could check the mic .
- *** I cannot seem to get my mic working with voice search. The remote I have purchased has a microphone, but has NO microphone button to enable the mic. There are reports of users who have got their mic working. See here for a picture of a remote with a mic button (the blue one in the bottom right corner) http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=203623
Also are you able to like use the remote underneath a blanket or do you have to point it at the dongle?
- you do NOT have to point the remote at the dongle. It does not work with line of sight like IR remotes. The distance limit is about 15 metres I'd guess. Farther with better batteries
Using the stock ROM, the following keys work:
home button
play/ pause and FF RW buttons
context menu
OK and d-pad button
keyboard letters
Using stock ROM the following keys DO NOT work for me:
soft volume up/down
mute
microphone doesn't work
BACK key doesn't work (this sucks, it registers as a 'right mouse click' under stock rom - doesn't do anything, must use home key instead. it also doesn't work under lollirock either. Luckily under lollirock the soft 'recent apps, home and back' buttons are always visible, so I just use that soft back arrow on the screen.
all of the 'alt keys' on the keyboard - ie the function keys, ! mark etc. These all work fine under lollirock.
I also have a generic android box running full android 5.1 and almost all of the keys on this remote work fully with it, including the hard back key.
Let me know if you've got any other questions!
Hi all,
I am trying to map some keys to play a game named War Robots on my Android Nvidia Shield TV device but I am struggling with one key but only in 'touchscreen mode'. Unfortunately in 'keyboard mode' the game doesn't seem to operate correctly and the robot turns in circles and you have to press the toggle to make it stop turning whereas in touchscreen mode (i.e. unplug the mouse and keyboard) the turning is perfect but I can't map a button on my controller to trigger firing all weapons.
The firing all weapons button when using a keyboard and mouse is mapped to Left Mouse Click or Shift or funnily enough the pipe symbol '|'.
This is what I have done so far:
1. Installed a keymap app on the Shield
2. Mapped all buttons (X and B controller buttons to Space and 'Q' for other special game properties) and have the 'Fire All' button 'Shift' triggered by the 'A' button on the controller.
When I start the game with the keyboard I test this and all mappings work fine and 'A' does seem to 'Fire All' but as soon as I want to go to touchscreen mode (by unplugging the keyboard and mouse) to get the maneuverability working the 'A' controller button no longer does anything although the other mapped buttons do still work on the controller.
So frustrating that touchscreen mode seems to just stop this one button and I have spent hours at this trying the other buttons that had mapped okay to 'Space and'Q' to the 'Fire All' to get around it but had no luck so maybe there is no way. I am not even sure if this touchscreen mode is unique to War Robots to be honest or it is standard Android.
Anyone know in Android touchscreen mode how to trigger a left mouse click or Shift button press maybe or any ideas for a workaround?
Thanks
