Hey Folks,
I'm using the Desire HD with the Cyanogen Mod 7 (latest Version from 2 Days ago).
Now I connected via Menu (Wireless & Networks --> Bluetooth) a simple "noname" Bluetooth Mouse and the pairing did happen. I used "0000" as Pairing-Code and the Desire gives me the Message "Connected with HID-Device" (or something like that, I use the german language).
Now I should see a Mousearrow or something should happen if I scroll or press a Button.
But nothing happens.
The Mouse itselft works properly - I tried it in Windows7 and Suse-Linux.
I also tried the App BlueInput (latest and some previous versions) but there its the same. I get connected properly but it wont work.
Now I'm hopefully waiting for your ideas (and I hope there are some)
Thanks in advance!
Ok, correct me if I'm wrong, you want to use a mouse to control your handset? Where the handset is directly in front of you?
I dont know if Android supports this. If you wish to remotely control your handset try WebKey from the market.

Well, there is also a possibility to make use of a WiiMote...
I see this more as a proof of concept.
What about the Motorola Atrix within its "to-Netbook-conversation-Docking"?
Internal Keyboard + BT Mouse = playable Quake3 on Android
Err bubble to bursting station, you can use a wiimote on a DHD quite easily. You can even do it with Apps available from the market place, hey you can even use the classic controller and nunchuck with it.
I have used it (not entirely successfully) to play N64 games on an emulator
At first : Thanks for your responses!

Yes, I want to control my Desire HD with a mouse when I stand next to it. If I wouldn't, I wouldn't have asked for it
The thing is that I need a Mousewheel - or at least something that can emulate one.
Correct me if I'm wrong but the WiiControl doesn't have such a feature.
What I found out is, that the Cyanogen 7 doesn't support Mouseweel-Actions.
I installed the latest 6.1 - et voilla - I get a Cursor and the Mousewheel works.
But unfortunately it doesn't work if I use it in a Flashmovie with the WebKit-Browser.
It seems that the Events are not tunneled into the Flashapp.
Someone got an idea for a workaround?
Ps: I like the idea of playing Quake3 on my Desire - but I prefer Quake1
Is there a way of using the mousewheel in a self-written application!?
That could also solve my problem
I mean, in the Cyanomod I can scroll around through lists an so on. There must be a way! (hopefully)

What exactly did You install? I play Quake 3 with a friend of mine in my university and I would sooo own him with a BT mouse!!!

I am on a quest for the perfect treadmill computing platform (so I'm not sitting on my arse ALL day), so I can stay connected and work while I exercise. Currently I use the HTC Advantage, bluetooth keyboard, external display optional.
This would be even better with an "air" mouse- like the gyrate (http://archive.gamespy.com/hardware/march03/pv2/index3.shtml) or new logitech (http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mice_pointers/mice/devices/3443&cl=us,enhttp://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mice_pointers/mice/devices/3443&cl=us,en).
Anyone know if either of these, something similar, or anything else non-surface-dependent (trackball?) can run on Windows Mobile?
thanks in advance.

Since I'm a consultant specialized in custom sulution, I would recomend you looking into the iGo Stowaway BT Mouse (http://www.expansys.com/d.aspx?i=147202)...
whitch you could "easely" make into a trackball by turning it upside down and attach a rubberball.. or something.
=)
What a project! Have you got any photos?
what type of pointing device is irelevant tackball, mouse ........
the pda only see the driver it's transparent to it what is feeding the driver with directions

Hum? I'm sorry, didn't quite got what you meant by that? - I've tried to connect other bluetooth mouses with the ppc-driver without success..
@foaf: I don't know if you were talking about me, but I've never done this myself (yet anyway).. the thought about a upsidedown optical mouse firrst surficed when a client wanted something simular to the "virtusphere" ( http://www.virtusphere.com/ ) for an exhibit.. but the client dropped before I had a chance to try my idea...

Anyone on here using MyMobiler?
I'm using Duttys 1.6 and when I move my mouse onto the phone (rather than using the desktop view), I cant see the mousepointer on the phone. Anyone else have this problem?
It worked OK on my old Orbit but that had a "Mouse" option in settings somwhere.

I have never seen the mouse pointer on the phone. I didnt think it worked that way at all
Yes it used to do that on my old phone, not tried it on the Touch, no longer have XP.
Can you drag your mouse over to the phone at all ? I remember that i used the exact same function .. they actually disabled the function in newer version! Have a look in the config file.. i found the setting once and enebled it, and wolla ! all working again..

If you right-click on your PC MyMobile icon and click "Connect" (rather than double-clicking to open the window on your desktop), then change "Mouse Cursor To" from "Disabled" to either "Left" or "Right", when you then move your PC mouse off the "Left" or "Right" of your screen, it should move onto you phone.
It does seem to work (clicking opens menus, runs apps etc), you just cant see your mouse pointer.
Yes, I am using MyMobiler in the same version and it works with no problems. Also after I change from a vogue to the blackstone.
Only the skin-mode doesn't work for me.

i agree there, skin mode doesnt work for me, otherwise it works perfect on my machine
So you both see a mousepointer on your phone?
Hi
I have My Mobiler and I see a mouse pointer on the phone image on the laptop screen.
I have in My Mobiler the option "Mouse cursor to" set to disable. I have never looked at this option before (!!) but it all works fine for me.
I open Mobiler and I have a working mouse that scans across the laptop and onto the image of the phone. On the phone image I'm able to activate various options with the mouse including tap and hold.
Regards, D
HD Skin
Hmm, strange. I see the pointer on my phone occasionally but its very "flickery", I'll try a soft-reset see if that fixes it.
In the mean time, attached is an HD skin I just knocked together.
There's also a Touch HD skin on the MyMobileR forum if you search for mymobiler touch hd skin in Google.

If you want a working skin mode, you can use EveryWAN Remote Support
from Sparus Software.
I am one of the developers and we made it free for all.
WOW! that is genius! MyMobile was flaky at best for me, and was of limited use. Just installed EveryWAN (about 30 mins ago) and haven't stopped playing since! Great tools - esp. the macros. Many thanks for providing this to the community.
The second time I went to use it, my Touch Pro started to "click", and on my PC, I got the error message...
"An unhandled win32 exception occurred in MyMobiler.exe [2772]".

Works beautifully, great work
How it works
Hi
1. Get mymobiler up and running.
2. Set (e.g.) mouse cursor to right
3. Close mymobiler BY USING THE "X" BUTTON
4. Move cursor off right hand side of computer screen.
Voila
I could'nt get the latest version of MyMobiler working on my Topaz - installed "EveryWAN Remote Support Personal Edition" - its a breeze - everythings working fine.
Hi So I used to have a touch HD (still do but selling) and have brought a TP2 (arriving soon) and I want to make good use of the keypad.
The first thing I want to do is play on some emulators what are some good options? I have narrowed it down to fpsece and morphgear, are they the best? any others?
Is there anything else cool the keypad gives me that I couldnt do before? I was thinking an app which allows me to connect to my pc/ps3 as a blutooth keyboard would come in very handy does this exist? If not can anyone point me in the right direction to make this myself - I know my way around C# and wm development but never done anything with bluetooth or emulating hardware.
Many thanks

Well there IS a WM app that will do that for both PS3 and PC, it's called MobileRemote1.1...but it seems that it's not working right on the TP2 as of yet. So, if you're skilled enough to fix that issue, there'd be some grateful people here I'm sure Info in THIS thread.
Now what you can use in the meantime, at least on your PC (no PS3 support yet) is an app called gremote, which gives all kinds of remote PC control options, over BT or wifi. Basic version is free, full version is paid. http://gbmsoftware.com/
Thanks for the info on the apps. If I can get some good info on making this type off app I will give it a go.

No prob, good luck! My name is on the list of those who would love to get a full BT keyboard profile on here for use with the PS3 etc
This is for those who are having problems connecting Desire with a Bluetooth Keyboard, in my case a Chinese mini Bluetooth keyboard (model PA-BK03- $ 27.00).
Things you need:
1) Rooted Desire (in my case OpenDesire 1.3b)
2) 3 files (hidd, hcitool and hciconfig) from code google
3) Recovery console (unrevoked for example)
4) And a Bluetooth keyboard…
The basic principle is to copy these 3 files to /system/xbin and set the permissions to 755, and than, after you enable Bluetooth on the phone and on the device, run the follow command:
#hcitool scan
Scanning ...
DC:2C:26:B3:C6:46 Bluetooth Mini Keyboard
Than
# hidd --connect DC:2C:26:B3:C6:46 (use your own MAC Address)
After it, you mini keyboard will stop blinking the blue led….TADA….is done!
I just cook the blu_sign.zip that contains the 3 files…you can use your recovery console apply it. And I recommend to use gscript lite to write the “hidd --connect” command and shortcut it in your home screen.
All the credits goes to…. Erin at i-miss-erin blogspot
And please I’m not a developer just curious and I hope that some noble developer make an fancy apk better than this.
Brasil na final da copa…
hi may I know where you bought this keyboard? ebay?

Would it be possible to pair a BT mouse this way, too?
Hi that's very interesting, will this method help with connecting other bluetooth devices? ps3 controller perhaps... or the wii one which apparently wont work with htc sense..
hup Holland hup
The ps3 controller isn't a hid device, but afaik a wii nunchuck is.
They did get ps3 controllers working on PC though , so it might be possible.
That keyboard looks nice btw. If it had one of them weird nipple things that old laptops used as a mouse I'd deffinately invest in one.
S60mike, I just connect my mighty mouse from apple and guess what...its working. Amazing for some games
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
When i try to pair my apple magic mouse it shows:
Can't create HID control channel: Connection refused
Where can/must I enter 0000 as pairing-code? Isn't this required? Now I try my Apple BT Keyboard
When I enter hidd command android popup to enter mighty mouse code. Try first at android bluetooth setting.

Nice keyboard, is it possible to get it working without root?

It worked. After a lot of trys and typing the damn Mac-Code etc. into the terminal on the phone ^^ I've got the english keys on a german keyboard while typing - but thats not so bad ......
Great Work !
Thanks
According to the keyboard on dealextreme, it supports android apparently.... I would have said it was out of the box support
Tried a couple times with my foldable keyboard from Palm,, it keeps telling me that "stderr: Device is not available: No such device"

I've used the aluminium Apple Bluetooth-Keyboard and it worked well. I've got english layout on german keyboard but thats not a big problem
s60mike: I'm desperate to get the apple keyboard working with my desire. What rom are you using please? And is it the two or three battery keyboard?

Got a Nexus One here.
There is a major internal difference between the two and three battery keyboards, with many saying the three battery keyboard works better.
Well that's good news for me as I have the 3 battery! But not had any luck yet. Tried on a rooted rom but got device not found on hciconfig. So running stock again for now.
Does anyone know if Froyo will make it any easier and is it impossible to run hidd un-rooted?
Hi.
I searched much but it came with no result, it's hard to find phase there, because there is many similar threads.
I search for an application which will allow me to use my phone as wireless controller for games <- it's important because most keyhacks won't work with d3d because of cheating-prevention.
I got hardware keyboard and touch panel so I would use keyboard as keyboard and touch like touchpad.
None of wireless image is needed.
Is there anything like this?
Thanks for response in advance!
Cheers my bros, Luby
