I know there are apps to you can download to turn your cell phone into a wireless mouse for your PC, in fact I have one and it works great.
Does anyone know of an app that will do the same thing but be able have a mouse pointer on your Prime using your cell phone as the mouse. I've searched the marked and googled it and get nothing.
If there is not an app like this maybe one of you guru developers here can make one. That would be awesome.
I think this should work with the client and server installed

Mobile mouse works great, if you're just looking to control the mouse functions. There's also LogMeIn, if you're looking for more functionality (remote desktop type stuff).
These work on a PC, but I'm not sure how well, or if these would work on the TFP.
I have a app that controls my computers mouse pointer from my phone. What I'm looking for is an app like that but to put a mouse pointer on my Prime and be able to control the pointer from my phone. So it would really be an app that creates a mouse pointer on the Prime and is controlled by the phone. This way I could sit back and control my Prime while connected via HDMI on my bigscreen and not have a long HDMI cable or have to get up to mess with the tablet.

That works just fine. I found it while looking to use my phone as a BT keyboard to use cheats in GTA III. Mouse also works.

So will this app put a mouse pointer on the Prime and control said cursor from the phone? I'm not really going to use my phone as a game controller what I really want is a cursor on my Prime to control it like it was in the dock (I don't have a dock) remotely.
That's two apps that need root to work so I may be closer to rooting if one of these will do what I want.

Since PS3 controllers use bluetooth to connect, can we find a way to turn the phone into a fancy touch screen remote for the ps3?
I'd really love that
I've been wondering kind of the same thing but just the opposite. I want a way to connect the ps3 controller to our phone like we can do with Wii remotes. I think that would be kind of nice

agree!
I hope someone takes this project on I'd definitely pay for this...
Would for sure pay for this!
Features that I would like to see
-Movie mode. gives all the option like fast forward rewind, title etc
-controller mode. all controls mapped onto the screen.
Pretty sure the phone would need better HID support before this would work wouldn't it? It would be pretty handy though. My old Sony Ericsson W900 had some quite good custom Bluetooth HID profiles in it which I used to control various devices which was pretty handy, the equivalents for Android all seem to be server/client WiFi based things.
I suspect there may be improved HID support in Gingerbread, so we might be lucky and it becomes relatively straightforward to implement then.
I'd love this but i think the ps3 uses proprietary bluetooth calls not that has stopped people before

Nope, PS3's bluetooth is pretty standard. You can sync a regular Bluetooth keyboard or mouse with it and they work fine. Their media remote might use some odd signals, but you can duplicate what you need with the right keys on a keyboard profile.
Yeah, I want this!

I like this.
How about taking it one step further and allowing remote desktop like you can with the PSP?
I believe that's what is being done with open remote play now. I have that running on my laptop instead of my cfw'ed PSP.
I'm pretty sure this has been done with the Nokia N900/Maemo. So wouldn't a port be feasible? Like with psfreedom?
Adding in my support for any dev who jumps on this. I've been wanting this ever since I got a PS3 but nobody seems to want to make it work.
Since the PS3 will work with a regular keyboard and mouse, all that should be required (theoretically) is to set your phone to think it's a BT keyboard with a trackpad built in. I would love to be able to tie my phone's BT to my PS3 and use it as a trackpad to navigate the browser or use the android keyboard to be able to type quick messages to friends. The onscreen PS3 keyboard is a joke.
I can see a lot of PS3 owners spending at least $5.00 for something like this. Hell, throw it in the market and watch the money roll in. I just wish somebody would create the app...
i'd pay for an app like this too.... just putting that out there
We know that the asus transformer has mouse support with the trackpad. I would prefer to have a full mouse when I I set this up to do typing and office type work.
Can any of you who already have the tablet see if it works with a bluetooth mouse?
I will test this when I get home this evening. I meant to test it last night and in the excitement of getting the transformer, I forgot.

Wow didn't even know this was supported so well. Pairing up brings up a mouse pointer until the connection is lost.
LMB obviously simulates touch.
RMB is the back hotkey
MB3 is the menu hotkey (top right icon)
Scroll up-down traverses open menus. LMB to select. Will scroll in the browser and system wide such as in polaris office.
Full movement as expected from desktop OSs.

That is great news. I want to be able to plug my tablet into my hdmi next to my tv to watch videos and sit back on my couch and navigate. That is awesome, thanks for testing it out!
What about zooming in and out? How do you do that if you can't do multi-touch pinch gesture? Perhaps some sort of combination of button press + scroll wheel?

You still get double click to zoom. Other that that you can't be more precise from just the mouse and I don't have a dock or bt keyboard to try.
Only time I see myself using a mouse is when plugged into hdmi and I feel double tap to zoom and reflow is sufficient.
I wish RMB emulated a long press. I feel that is more natural for a right click. Hopefully this can be altered once HC goes open source.
Pairs with Apple bluetooth mouse and links to input device, but nothing happens. Certainly don't get the pointer that could be seen on the screenshot in the earlier thread.

Hi mate,
I'm having trouble pairing my BF mouse with the transformer. I can see it, but when I try to pair them, the transformer asks for pin and basically that's it... nothing after that.
How did you pair yours?

Just entered the default pin 0000. Check the mouse label if it has a specific pin.

Not one of my Apple peripherals connect and work (magic mouse, magic trackpad or keyboard). My Logitech M555b mouse works correctly though.
Makes me wonder if Honeycomb is deliberately blocking Apple devices from working.

That is highly unlikely. When you go into system/usr/keylayout on the XOOM they even have a dedicated layout file for the Apple wireless keyboard. They would be stupid to fuel the flaming between iSheep and Androids! However, I wouldn't be surprised if the Apple mouse requires special drivers, especially if it is the magic mouse which is not your conventional HID. Or maybe Asus has a beef with Apple, but not HC.

I haven't done any digging into the system files yet on the Transformer, so I can't comment on that.
I find it strange though that they all pair, connect but then fail to actually interface correctly. The mouse cursor does not appear on screen, even though the settings panel recognises them as a mouse and trackpad, and the keyboard just doesn't function - the only time it works is when you have to type in the pairing PIN.
Strange.. Might well be an Asus -> Apple issue/incompatibility or something with the bluetooth chip. Perhaps we'll see a future software fix or hack.

The first connection, more than 5 minutes will be automatically disconnected. Need to connect again.
I use a Bluetooth 3.0 Mouse...
Is this the reason?
I tried plugging in the USB transmitter of the Microsoft BlueTrack Mini Explorer and it works, but response is slow.

I am having this issue also. My mouse works fine on my laptop. I think it has to do with the TF going to sleep. I only notice it just before or just after my TF goes to sleep.

Mee too, Works fine on laptop but not Tablet.
This is definately an issue with the TF screen ging to sleep. While I would like it to automatically reconnect. A temporary solution when using the mouse with the dock is to set the screen to stay on when charging.
EDIT: I just installed 3.1 last night and from my experieces today it looks like 3.1 automatically reconnects with the bluetooth mouse after a disconnect.
I am trying to get my xbox 360 wired controller to work with gta3 and its somewhat working. Im using Xpadder, a gamepad profiler that can make the controller emulate and mouse/keyboard movement and then using "wifi keyboard" app to get it to move across to my phone. However i cant get mouse movements to register and can only really get basic walking and driving controls working, such as steering and walking. I cant figure out how to make the controller use any weapons, sprint, but entering and exciting vehicles works fine. Is there a better app to do what im trying to do? I searched and couldn't find any and am curious if anyone else has tried to do the same thing i am. I really need like a list of what the translation for the pc version would be, like what keyboard button was used for the ebrake, drivebys, etc because thats the only way i am able to get this controller to work. I have been working off of a list of pc controls but am still unable to figure out how to make the controller fire or use weapon or switch between weapons, i know it was default to mouse left click or left control but neither work for me. And ive literally gone over my entire keyboard pressing random buttons to see if i can make it fire or switch weapons.
Hello!
I recently bought a playstation 3 controller to use with my PC and emulators on my Tablet. I discovered that without root i wasn't able to fully utilize the controller on my tablet.
I got to work and rooted my tablet, bought sixaxis controller and set it up. I am now able to connect with the app and bind keys in the emulator with the app. However when i exit the key-binding menu and begin to play a game the emulator suddenly doesn't recognize any of my button presses made with the app.
I made a touch profile so that i could play but i really want to be able to play without this touch profile.
I've googled with no results for days and i now ask you, what do you think is wrong? And how can i fix it?
Which emulators are you using this with? With some of them you have to set up the bindings in the emulator app.
If you bought a cheap ps3 controller on ebay it will not work. If you buy a legit PS3 controller it will work. Common problem, aftermarket controllers have a slightly different bluetooth profile that its kind of goofy...
If you have a legit controller then it must be other settings!
Lets start from the beginning.
FIRST TIME! If its your first time pairing the controller to the tablet you need to get a USB cable and plug it into the dock.
Start up the app
press the "pair controller" button. This tells the controller which address to connect to. If you dont do this then the controller is looking for a PS3 which your tablet obviously is not.
If it is NOT your first time, or you have used the PC utility to manually change the bluetooth address on the controller
Start up the app
Press Start
Turn on the controller
Remember, you must change the IME (input) from whatever keyboard you have to sixaxis.
Once you see the message in the window say you are paired press the up down left right buttons on the ps3 controller, you SHOULD see things happen on the screen. If not you did something wrong.
If you want to use touch profiles select it from the box
If the above does not work check with the PC utility that your controller is trying to pair to the correct bluetooth address. Note sometimes the sequence is reversed - 12:23:34:45:56:67 can sometimes be 67:56:45:34:32:12. Different applications on the PC work differently.
Make sure you are using the latest LEGIT copy. If you are pirating this software it likely wont work. Check on the market you are updated to the latest version.
If all else fails, contact the developer or check the developers website. I know it works with the prime im running it on mine, works great!
Good luck!
EDIT
Re-reading OP i'd say it sounds like you forgot to change the IME. Maybe check that first

It's a real controller and i did change the IME.
I am primarily using the N64 emulator. When i map the keys without sexaxis controller installed most of the keys are named <unknow>. When i start sixaxis controller i get "DPAD_START" or something similar when i map the keys. (after enabeling the IME).
So the connecting and mapping goes perfect. But somehow when i exit the settings and start to play it wont detect the keys anymore.
It's quite late now, i will test everything again tomorrow to make sure the problem is still there. But i truly don't know what to do.
I don't know about the emulator you're using, but in NESoid, and SNESoid etc to use sixaxis with it, theres an option in menu>settings>Other settings>"Use Input Method" Enable special input device eg bluetooth gamepad - This needs checked for the controller to work see if this is enabled on yours

In "other settings" i just had to click that. ****ing awesome m8 Thanks

Ya its kind of annoying because with sixaxis you can have it set for controller input, emulate keyboard, or sort of a hybrid (like the experia play does with its keys), different apps deal with these things differently, its just a matter of finding a method that works best for the app your using.
Glad to hear you got it working!
Thank you
I only rooted to use the controller, I was getting frustrated

Hi all,
I'm looking into buying a Tab S4, particularly because of its DeX function.
Can anyone confirm whether the Tab S4 works with the DeX pad, or just the USB-C to HDMI cable?
I'm wondering whether it would be possible to use it with the pad to connect a wireless mouse and keyboard receiver, rather than having to rely on Bluetooth direct to the tablet.
Thanks,
J
It i's working even without an external screen.
For DEX I use most of the time the screen miroring through wifi, easy.
Yes, there is an option to put it into dex mode without any external attachments. It only works in landscape mode though. I wish it worked in portrait mode too. I love dex and would use it exclusively.
It works flawlessly...
From what I've read it works with the DeX pad but you may encounter the error "Close cover to enable DeX Mode". If you don't have a Samsung cover the easiest way out is to go to Amazon and purchase a 7-1 or 8-1 hub. A search here should return you some links.
Just as a note, most HDMI to usb c adaptors include usb ports, and Logitech universal receivers work off them. I've used a Logitec K750 Keyboard + Anywhere MX mouse (synced to the same universal receiver). The caveat is that the logitech unifying software is not available on Android. You need to link the receiver, mouse and keyboard on a pc, and then they work on the tablet. If you want to change linked devices, you need to go back to the pc. I did notice one of the mice I tried was overly sensative, so some mice may work better than others.
Has anyone tried using Microsoft Remote Desktop Client app on this tablet? I want to know if the right click button works. Please tell me that it does I'll be really really happy. I really want to buy this tablet but I can't justify the cost unless I can use it for work instead of buying a laptop.
This really should be a new topic / new thread but...
Yes, I use MS Remote Desktop to access my work computer from home. Usually, I use the onscreen keyboard and touchscreen, which can be awkward.
But I just hooked up my USB keyboard and Bluetooth mouse, and both work fine with Remote Desktop. Right click works.
One disclaimer - I usually use MS Remote Desktop Beta, which is currently crashing every time I try to run it. I installed the released version of MS Remote Desktop and had no issues. So you might want to stay away from the RD Beta version.
