Is there any way to use the xda as a wireless keyboard for a PC using bluetooth? I've searched the internet (not the whole thing ) and i haven't found anything.

Hi, got my A7 running great!! Dexters mod (1.41) works wonders - it's a great computer now!!!
I was wondering if there is any way to tether my A7 to my Verizon VX9200 ENV3 phone so I can use the phone to get to internet?
I have got the bluetooth paired on both. I can copy files between.
Is there an app for that???
Would be great.
If not, can I tether it to my laptop and use the internet connection from there? I have a Verizon USB internet dongle, and can share the internet that way.
I do have the A7 paired with the laptop bluetooth.
Is there an app for that also?
Thanks for the info.
PS...I have a bluetooth GPS receiver on the way ... Holux 1200e....Will let you know soon.
I've an old Samsung phone (S8000, a.k.a. Jet), that is surprisingly easy to tether to my computer via Bluetooth (acting as a mobile modem). Just create a connection, pair, and connect.
I'm trying to do the same with my 2.3.5 Defy. That is, connect to the internet via the Jet using bluethooth. Problem is, I don't really know how to make the actual connection. Pairing works fine, but as for dialing - I've no clue.
Any ideas how it can be achieved? The Samsung Jet is a pretty dumb phone, so I think it's really down to make the Android to mimic a computer. I tried both Google (including this forum) and the Market, with no avail...

Well I've been searching for a while trying to connect the S3 as a laptop using MHL+USB OTG, but seems it is not possible or simply hard enough to consider other options. Several options have been considered:
1- Using BT keyboard/mouse is not always suitable since most of us use 2.4Ghz USB keyboard/mouse and it does not consider connecting HDD or other stuff.
2- I found an application that allows you to use your keyboard/mouse connected to your PC to control the phone, "takecontrol", take a look here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...NvbS5kcm9pZGNvbnRyb2wudGFrZWNvbnRyb2xsaXRlIl0.
Using this app you could also share an HDD connected to that PC solving one of the previous problem BT has.
But this configuration forces you to have your computer switched on... a bit useless if what you want is to connect the S3 as a PC instead of using an actual one.
3- After this I thought of using a wifi USB HUB, but hey! most of routers have USB ports, so why don't we use them instead of buying a new equipment? Then I realised it should work fine for sharing contents from a USB HDD but for USB wireless mouse/keyboard...
(those of you who have a BT mouse/keyboard but don't know how to connect the USB HDD to get "full" PC experience with the S3/S2/Note..., maybe it's still interesting this option)
So my question is if it is possible to connect a USB wireless mouse/keyboard plugging it to a wifi USB HUB. Maybe with an android app? what do you think guys?
I'm still thinkin about this.
Would be possible to use a wireless USB Hub, via wifi or BT?

Is there a way to transfer files in mass via WIFI Direct to desktop? I don't want to use AirDroid that has some relation to someone else network...
I like the 1080p video and pics...and want to transfer them via wifi direct. I can't seem to find anything out there for it. Is hardwire the only way?

This is a good one. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smarterdroid.wififiletransfer
I prefer this one though. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dooblou.WiFiFileExplorerPRO

Bluetooth is another option. A Bluetooth adapter can be had for a USB port cheap. I have a USB 4.0 adapter I got from a local office supply store for my desktop at work. This also allows me to stream Pandora through the speakers on the desktop PC, among other helpful things.
At home I have a NAS drive that is connected via FTP using ES file explorer. Works fine. Also, DLNA is an option, that works for me too. I can enable DLNA on the phone and copy to and from the device using my PS3 and laptop, or play music off my phone through my PS3, do photo slide shows, etc.
Well... thats the question. How can be made a shortcut to a paired device to connect it in wireless Media transfer mode?
I´m using a rooted z1c KK...
Thanks!
