[Q] Remote Desktop, MHL HDMI and Bluetooth keyboard

Hi All,
My dream, one that I hope Android can help me fulfill is to hook my Galaxy S2 to a HDMI tv, fire up remote desktop and by using a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, effectively have a full desktop available.
I am yet to try hooking up my phone to a tv as I am waiting for the MHL cable, but issues I envisage are the following:
1) When the screen is mirrored on the TV, the RDP program will not use the TVs display show 'full screen'. I have installed some RDP applications and they allow you to select the resolution so perhaps this will resolve the issue
2) Are there any RDP applications that allow bluetooth keyboard and mouse entry?
This is the hold grail for me!! Many a time I have stayed in a hotel for work or holiday and not had my laptop with me and wished for such a solution. Combine this with Wake On Lan and it's perfect!
I hope someone can help!
I can't believe i'm the only one that wants something like this to work!
RDP programs should just take any inputs from your phone and pass them onto the remote machine so BT kb/m should work ok IMO. Not sure about the mirroring but if it is fullscreen on the phone then maybe the MHL cable will upscale for the TV.

I'm waiting for the cable before I can try. In fact I would have had it by now but my girlfriend wants to buy some stuff for me for my bday and I believe she's already ordered it!
I should get mine tomorrow and I'll try it out.
Thanks! I'll check back on thread!
I've been doing some reading around and have found that BT keyboards and a mouse will work no problem.
I tried my MHL cable with the Android VNC viewer app and allows you to fit to screen but does not output at the tv's native res.
I have had similar experience with Remote RDP, it just mirrors the phone's native resolution. Hopefully this kind of thing will be supported soon, including internet browsing at 1080p.
Thanks guys, that sux!
I still haven't received my cable so I can't try for myself, but have you managed to make it work to a workable output on the TV?
would be interesting if we could port some parts from the atrix (webtop) over to this phone. I actually enjoyed that feature.

Perhaps, this kind of program may help to format the resolution?
Am I missing something? If you got a bt keyboard and bt mouse and the phone to tv hdmi, don't you have it all? Why would you need a remote desktop or vnc software?
Well, you'd have it all except for USB, which you might be able to live without.

If it could pump out the full Remote Desktop resolution then you will effectively have a full desktop through your phone rather than just have the phone's software capability.
Fair enough you can surf the web and play a video but what if I want to use full excel or Word, and multi-task like on a desktop.
I've still not received my cable so I don't know whether the browsing the net with the phone's browser is legible on a big screen.
In my earlier post I complete missed off the applications name - LCD Density - haven't tried and I don't know if it's compatible with the SGSII, but sounds like it changes the native resolution of the phone.
Try Splashtop as your vnc app it is the only one to my knowledge that can stream audio almost perfect and video pretty good over vnc and works like a charm on the atrix.
Did you find a good BT keyboard that works well with the Evo? I'd prefer one with a built in trackpad, as my goal is to use this on the road (ie, airports, trains, etc), and would like to have an all-in-one keyboard/mouse.
The one thing that I haven't had time to tinker with have been HDMI goggles that can give a virtual display. Has anyone tried these w/ the Evo's mini-HDMI output?

[Q] SE Xperia Mini Pro + Bluetooth mouse

Can we connect bt mouse to this awesome phone ? I Think its impossible with stock rom but with cm its possible
Thats possible and very simple. All you need is a cable MicroUSB=>USB with 5th extra-pin connected to the ground (its better looks at schemes and datasheets). Amazing but even stock firmware supports USB On-The-Go (wired and wireless) but only with .058. And why only mouses? Wireless keyboards and other stuff also just in case
That's nice, but is usb on-the-go supported in games ? Gta3 and others ?

Yep, keyboards and joystics are very easy and comfortable for some playing
Mouses is good for games like "Where Is My Water?", "Fruit Ninja" etc. and best for internet browsing.
But play GTA3 with mouse arrow at screen is freaking ugly...
How do you mean "But play GTA3 with mouse arrow at screen is freaking ugly..."
I was thinking to control gta 3 like on computer, not with the arrow on the screen, you know what i'm trying to say ?

Absolutelly dude But it's only ARROW mode available. Computer-like mouse control isn't supported
I'm shure they will soon fix that "problem" !
Im afraid there is no way to fix that problem. Im not sure but Android can work with mouses only in arrow mode
First of all sorry for getting this thread back, my question is related and we do not need a new one.
What about BLUETOOTH mouses, keyboards, joysticks ... does Xperia Mini Pro have the HID profile ? I could not find this info.
Wow, thread is so old.
You will need a usb otg cable.
A mouse or a keyboard with EXTERNEL power.
A kernel which support usb otg.
An apk that can make this work on your phone / support those things to work on your phone.

Hey guys,
does anyone know when cannonical release ubuntu for android for the custom community?
i found a lot if toturials for ubuntu for S3, but i can´t find the cannoical solution, like the ubuntu GUI over hdmi output.
The most solutions runs with a remote access via phone.

how can i connect xperia u to tv

Is there any way to connect my xperia u to tv.
tried dlna but does'nt worked
Thread moved to Xperia Q & A section.
is your tv on the same wifi network as your xperia u when you tried the dlna, should work, dont know of any other way if your phone doesnt have the hdmi port... Im sure there are ways if you were to set up some sort of media server but theres no point you'd be better off doing that from your laptop or something, way easier

That phone have a hdmi port? If it have one you can use the specific cable for that.
Why DLNA doesn't work? remember, both devices need to be in the same network ( i mean, same subnet) in order to work properly
Sorry for my bad english
XU has no HDMI port. Only using DLNA as was described upper, or to use Media Server - but I'm not sure if TV knows to work with shared media over WiFi...with notebook no problem, but with TV... DLNA is the way...
to connect at your Tv with DLNA, don't use the application in the menù!
Go in Albun click on the photo that you would see , and than press again! Push the icon on right top e press than press on the icon for play on a device... sorry for bad english...

Philips 43PUS6401 TV

Hi all and sorry if this is in the wrong place. I bought this TV and almost cried at first because Philips, in their wisdom, had decided not to allow sideloading of apps. After a recent update this feature has now been allowed and have tried chrome etc but they are all virtually useless because of the rubbish remote that comes with the TV. My question is does anyone know a wireless mouse/keyboard combo that DEFINITELY works with this TV or is there an app on play store that I use to control my TV from my phone wirelessly. It would have to include a mouse and keyboard function. The reason I say wirelessly is because the only device I think I can connect through Bluetooth is a speaker. I have tried searching various forums but haven't come up with a definitive solution yet and have tried multiple maybes.
