I have been looking for hours and can not find a bluetooth app to act as an HID mouse via bluetooth. I want to connect my andriod phone to my windows PC via bluetooth and have an android app act as a mouse WITHOUT installing a server (or ANY program) on the PC. I have two sony ericsson dumb phones that are 3 and 6 years old that can do this without any problems, it shouldn't be this hard for android. Please let me know if there is an app out there that can do this. Thanks for your help!!!
dude, it looks like there is no *correct* programs, but there is blueputdroid which doesn't worked for me (any of sgt 1 or samsung i5700 cyanogen)
just tried blueputdroid and it didn't work for me... any other suggestions?
afaik android kernel doesn't support the hid profile. there might be custom kernels that support it though.

Yesterday i was chatting away on the phone , and realized i wanted a solution that would let me control the phone from the pc.
I installed droidvnc server but somehow it doesn't work, it automatically stops the server as soon as you try to connect to it.
So today i thought of another solution (besides buying a bluetooth keyboard), which is to emulate a bluetooth keyboard in software installed to the pc.
I have searched this and apparently it isn't easy to do. I have a bluetooth dongle on my windows laptop, but this isn't enough since i would need to emulate the proper hid profile.
Is this possible? Or do you know of another solution?
This sounds like some Xzibit 'Pimp my Atrix' type mod. Yo dawg! I heard you like to input text on your device while your talking on it but cant see; So I installed an emulator on your laptop keyboard so now you can type on your laptop while you type on your phone while you talk on your phone but cant see!

Dude WTF. i'm not looking for a headset.
I want to use my laptop's keyboard as the phone's keyboard over bluetooth.
In linux, there's a program called hidclient that seems to do this. I want to do this from windows. Basically i want a virtual bluetooth keyboard.
Well I was trying to make you laugh but I guess no luck..
Have you tried the "Phone Portal" app in your app drawer? It will allow you to send sms and such via your computers keyboard.
Well.. had a friend that was determined to use BT for connecting to his computer.. I decided to see if I could get something working (as PC companion doesn't support BT for Xperia phones)
I finally managed to get sync working under Win7 by downloading a (less than legal..) copy of Toshiba Bluetooth Stack (this seems to work on most brand computers)
and then using "my phone explorer" (client app from market) and windows app downloaded from their site.. I am now able to share files, modify phone book, view phone status, send SMS etc from the laptop via BT.. (or Wifi.. or USB)
Apparently BlueSoleil also works instead of Toshiba bluetooth Stack..I havn't tried it myself.
The process was a little funky but It worked in the end and I can connect quite easy now.
Now why the hell can't Sony Erricson just fix BT on their Android devices! its really a step backwards in reguard to conectivity. Android really sucks with BT. but you would think SE could come up with a solution... what do they pay their developers for anyway? gimmie good BT implimentation over Timescape any day!
(its hard to tell friends who have just forked out hundreds on a phone I recomended that they can't use Bluetooth anymore, like they have been doing for years with their Nokia's and old pre android Sonyericssons)
My Rant.. hope it might help someone else in any case.

Been putting off installing a custom Rom on the SGS2 (UK) because it's been working fine for what I need, but now I'd like to use it as a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse on my Windows PC (without the need for a server app).
I've read about an app called Bluputdroid which will connect to a PC via bluetooth and be recognized as a HID keyboard and mouse but requires a coustom Rom with a specific bluetooth stack.
Which Rom should I try?
Thank you
only way i know to get around it is to use an AOSP rom, like cm7/cm9 or MIUI, i did the same thing to get my playstation sixaxis working hope this helps

As coffmad said, any AOSP ROM should work for what you're looking for, as they will utilize the generic Android bluetooth stack, instead of Samsung's.
That said, I know you said you don't want to install a server app, but have you considered looking at GMote? It works over wi-fi. There's a very thin app you install on the computer, and your phone connects to it over your network. This is what I use to utilize my phone as a remote for my computer.

FYI, SixAxis works on Samsung based ROMs, and has for quite some time. I think since October or so. I've got it working just fine, and I'm on stock XXKI3.
I was wondering if there was an app that would let you use the phone as a mouse/keyboard for a computer/laptop. Something like Blueputdroid, which turns the phone into a bluetooth mouse/keyboard using root and doesn't require additional software to be installed and configured on the computer.
BluePutdroid would've been just fine but I haven't had luck with it - Whenever I use it, it crashes after a few seconds and corrupts my sdcard somehow.
So does anyone know of app that can turn the phone into a bluetooth or usb mouse/keyboard so it's just like plugging in a normal keyboard or mouse?
Thanks!

I use mobile mouse.. Its on the market..

First off, most do require somesort of server software and run over wifi, so what OS do you use?
But i happen to use Unified Remote. I love it to death, I wish to hell I could get it on my wifes *cringe* iphone just because it controls literately everything windows. It costs a few bones, but is well worth it (cause of netflix, i use windows as my media boxes, and it has remotes for everything media center on windows...highly recommended.)
Not sure about bluetooth only cause I don't have it on my tv boxes.
If you use Windows you can use an app called Win Remote. Works pretty well.

This is what I use, very simple and works flawlessly. But it does require the server to be ran on the computer. It's got two-finger multi-touch support for scrolling like a MacBook trackpad which is useful for cruising the interwebz.
Hey
I want to use my android phone (Xperia Z) as a bluetooth mouse/keyboard for my PC.
Does anybody know any app that lets you do that that is generic, which dont need you to have a client installed on your pc.
Have tried some apps that require a client but I ain't satisfied.
You could try 'True Mouse/KB' in play store, it adds Bluetooth HID device profile to your phone.
