Hi,
This is a tricky question, I fear. I bought a Bluetooth mouse, and I'm using it when I connect remotely to my computer (using Google's Remote desktop). I thought it would be used like on a computer, but I see that:
- I have to press my left mouse button and then move it in order to move the mouse pointer in my computer.
- Right clicking the mouse does nothing.
- Scroll does nothing.
So I'm not sure what I'm looking for. Perhaps an app to remotely connect to my computer that can utilize a mouse as is. Perhaps an app that somehow monitors my Bluetooth mouse and allows it to right click and scroll. Perhaps both.
Anyone have any suggestion? Thank you!

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

I'm not rooted yet but this may be the reason I root. Keep the suggestions coming.

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.
Okay, I was thinking about an app to make...
The perfect idea hit my brain.
It involves using my android phone as an input device, and then controlling my Galaxy Tab with it. It would be a magic mouse, just for Android to Tablet.
I have ideas of going about this, but I'm not sure it's possible.
1. Build the mouse app on the phone, to mimic a mouse, or track pad. Then make Bluetooth functionality like the app that pairs PS3 and Android Phones. Add the track pad area, buttons, scroolbar on the right hand side, some nice GUI, and bam, it's paired and working.
2. Build the mouse app on the phone, to mimic a mouse, or track pad. Then create a receiving server app for the tablet, that includes settings, mouse speed, the connection, login, etc. Then make some kind of something on the phone to be able to connect and communicate with the tablet's server app, to allow it to be set, paired and then working.
Would either two of these be possible?
I've messed with many different apps on my Android phone that, in conjunction with a server app, allow me to control my PC with my phone. I'm curious though if there is a hardware solution that does the same thing and doesn't require any server software to be installed on the PC?
Here's my idea. A dongle that's plugged into your PC and is recognized as a generic HID device. The dongle then connects to your phone via BT. Then using an app on the phone, you can now use your phone as a keyboard, mouse, or PowerPoint controller.
This would be great for times when you don't have admin rights on the PC needing controlled and wouldn't be able to install a piece of software, but you can at least hook up a mouse or keyboard and they work. I have to do a lot of PowerPoint presentations at school and would love to just simply pop a dongle into the PC and almost immediately be able to start controlling the presentation from my phone.

It's a good thought, but I think it's overkill for just that purpose.
I guess the main use is to utilize your phone as keyboard input? otherwise, you could just plugin a wireless mouse to control the presentation.
I also assume that your ppt is being presented from the PC, instead of from the phone, right?

I suppose it may be overkill, sure. I was hoping to minimize what I would have to be carrying around with me. It would be handy to just have a small USB plug sized dongle only with me that I can just plug and and go and not have to have a mouse. Even a small mouse can be a bit of a bulge, and it's something that's easier to break than a small dongle.
And yes, the PPT would be running from the PC, most likely on the teachers computer that's hooked to the rooms projector.
Hmm, TeamViewer can be run without being installed. That may help. Just click on "Run" instead of "Install" on the menu.
No server software
I really don't understand why this isn't implemented already. In theory all you would need is the HID driver in an app on your phone and transmit over Bluetooth. Not sure what the complication is.
I had a feature phone that could do this in 2009, without any software installed anywhere, using standard Bluetooth and HID drivers.
Hi,
I use an MHL adaptor to connect my Android device on a HDMI screen.
This is really great but it would be perfect if I could use my PC keyboard and PC mouse to control it.
I tried VNC servers and TeamViewer QuickSupport but the main problem is that I don't see the mouse pointer on my device so it's very difficult to use a mouse when you don't see the pointer ^^
Does anyone know if there is a way to remotely access an Android device from a computer and be able to see this mouse pointer on the device?
Thank you
I would also like to see how !!!
Unfortunately I don't think this is possible. At least I haven't found a way to do it myself.
On a PC it's possible with VNC so maybe it's also possible with an Android VNC server?
Also I know that an Android pointer (a circle) it's provided in Android because when I connect a mouse on my tablet I see it.
So there must be a way to use this Android pointer in a remote access way...
I use this device (MK808) daily devices, install a vnc server on android, then use vnc viewer from PC/Android/iPhone/iPad to control it. Attached are some screenshots.
you can also try using teamviewer quick support. It remotes into your android device and u get to see the full desktop on ur pc. You can initiate the connection before u connect it to HDMI.
Thank you for your ideas guys but this is not really what I want because in my case I use the HDMI output because it's really much more reactive than VNC or TeamViewer.
My only problem is that I don't see the mouse pointer so it's difficult to do anything when you don't know where your mouse is in the screen :/
I guess I'll have to buy a BT mouse and keyboard :/

Bluetooth is the best option. You can use a Bluetooth keyboard, mouse, PlayStation 3 controller or the tv remote made for the PlayStation 3

I have a solution for you..
Try LANmote
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=lanmote
or use wireless USB KB/Mouse connected to your Android device.
mmm I do not think it possible, but research on the subject, hear interesting xD

This app is not a solution for me because I want to switch my screen on my Android device (with the MHL adapter) and if I use this app I need another screen for an HTML5 browser.

I can do that but my question was exactly to not have to do that.

What do you mean switch screen?
If you mean swiping the launcher or home screen, you can do it with LANmote by using multi-touch on the mobile browser or computer browser too with mouse.
If you mean switch on your MHL HDMI output, do you mean you can't do it via Android's own interface?
Do you just want to see the mouse pointer? Don't know if that will work, but in developer option (Android 4+) enable the option to see where you touch (don't remember the exact option name). By enabling it, when you touch (or use the mouse to act as a touch) it will show a little ball as a cursor.
I'd be interested in knowing if one Galaxy can control another connected via MHL in lieu of having a BT keyboard/mouse

hi,
I would like to use OTG cable + mouse in a game called "heroes of camelot"
the device recognizes the mouse and I can do everything.
BUT when I launch the game above, the game doesn't recognize the mouse.
I tried by using a macro tool called "hiromacro"
Once again the mouse moves the pointer, but no command is recorded.
It seems something changes in the way to process the two types of input; from finger and from mouse's left button.
then I tried to control my S3 from PC through an app called "teamviewer"
I can see in my PC a window which is showing the S3 screen and I can use the mouse of PC inside the S3.
This time, I can do everything inside S3 and I can also play the game above.
(unfortunately it is not a good solution because it is terribly slow, of course)
but It gives me hope that there is the way to, put it so, " to use a mouse like a finger "
So I ask if there is an app wich let me customize left button mouses's input?
p.s.: ah! I forgot to say that in my S3 I can't use finger, that is to say why I am doing all this mess
(sorry for my bad eng...)
and thanks for any answering or at least for reading
glad that you made xda forum!
