Hey guys i was wondering if it is at all possible to have a bluetooth mouse and keyboard connect to the phone to play games on it while mirroring the image or using the web top dock hack.
Has anyone tried this yet?
My magic trackpad and wireless keyboard work great with my atrix hooked to my tv. Not sure about gaming though.

Hey everyone, I was wondering if it would be possible to make an app/mod that would allow you to pair your phone to a computer or tablet via bluetooth as a bluetooth keyboard? I'm imagining pairing it with a tablet and using the paired phone's physical keyboard to enter text so you get more screen space for viewing content.
Won't work. Not possible.
Have not seen anything like that, but there are apps that let you use the android phone as the pc keyboard. Perhaps you could start there.

Gmote works over wifi as a touchpad and keyboard.

The Gametel wireless controller is set to launch in time for Christmas for the low price of £49.95.

I've just been reading about this myself, see http://techcrunch.com/2011/11/17/ga...android-phone-into-an-xperia-play-but-better/
It's not clear at this point if this will basically behave like an Xperia Play controller or not. They mention it will work in Asphalt 5 HD, but no mention of other Play-enabled games like NOVA 2 or Aftermath XHD.
Definitely worth watching this though, if the reviews are positive and it works with all the Play-enabled games (maybe with some hacking?) it will be on my Xmas list.
A bit of a double post... but has anyone tried this?
I have tried connecting my PS3 Controller via the LiveDock but it can only work when connecting to USB Cable and not via bluetooth like the way it work with my Sony Tablet.
Guess it need the software interface which pair the controller to the device via bluetooth.
So which are the controllers able to work with our phone which has been tested?
hi mate
If you go into Bluetooth menu it gives u the Bluetooth address
U can then plug your ps3 control in to laptop and use six axis pair tool(which is free to download onto ur computer ,just google it) and you can manually change the address control address to that of the phone
Not sure if it will work without six axis app on your phone or not but is worth a try
Hope that helps

picked up a six foot HDMI cable today from walmart. (belkin)
first time seeing my phone plugged into a HD tv... and WOW! super awesome.
I have a few questions for those who use this feature a lot.
1. I see that I can add apps and shortcuts to the tv launcher app..... am i able to remove them? or remove the ones that are already there... haven't yet found a way to do so?
2. Anyone able to stream from SMB share using XBMC? i'm unable to get it to connect even though i have the user/pwd and ip addy correct. p.s. my share shows up and is accessible via ES file Explorer and Connected Devices.
3. I'm using DICE player to play my downloaded torrents on my pc via my ION .... now on my htc flyer... i have no problems viewing these files.. but on my ION sometimes the video will start and play for about a minute and then DICE player just crash/disappear and take me back to ES file explorer anyone else with this issue? if so find any workarounds?
4. in Tv Launcher app there is an icon to connect to facebook mobile... i clicked this the first time and it brought me to my facebook page but with notifications from people not in my friends list.. i checked on the computer and these pokes/notifications weren't ever there on my computer or in my notifications...<---this really freaked me out a bit...
5. anyone got the PS3 controller to connect to their ION? if so... gotta list of games it works with?
a. also anyone able to use the remote control ok to control the ION? my universal remote for my TV doesn't seem compatible...if u got it to work what kind of remote are you using?
excited to have a phone capable of HDMI out.. looks AWESOME!
thanks for any info in advance
1. I'll have to try mine again to tell you how to remove icons
5. Yes I've used the PS3 remote via USB. Dead trigger, shadow gun, reckless racing 2 work with the controller. If you root and use the sixxaxis controller app you can use any game pretty mmuch and use the controller over Bluetooth.
Used a couple Sony remotes and a Samsung remote with no issues. My cheap dynex TV remote wouldn't work.

did u need to install the ps3 controller app or was it completely plug and play... i don't have one here or i'd be testing it right now
edit: and by USB i assume u mean u plugged into your dock... i don't have one of those so i guess i'm SOL till i get root eh? or a dock? lol

Yeh with the dock I didn't need to use any other app for games that support gamepads. With no dock you will need a USB adapter to plug it directly in or root to use the controller app.

wow yea what kind of adapter would that be? micro usb to mini usb?

Um for the PS3 controller should be either a micro to mini cable or regular to mini I think.

go get it if you have a tablet.
Splashtop 2 HD
Old interface was better and simpler. A.I.type keyboard sometimes doesnt work with it or has a huge keypress delay. Hp Touchpad with cyanogenmod 9 doesnt have a proper resolution that fills the whole screen Wont. Allow you to connect to a desktop that has a wired connection on you're wireless router without paying for splashtop anywhere.

im able to use my computer on it and its plugged in with an ethernet cable. playing skyrim too just to test it out.. pretty happy about this.
Anyone try and connect a DS3 to the G3? Just checking before I go through the hassle of the setup itself, it was a massive pain in the butt on my M7 and I want to play emulators on the go and be able to actually play mobile games comfortably on this beautiful screen.
Bump.

We're asking if it works and connects properly...not every phone is compatible with it. HTC devices are a huge pain in the ass for instance.
Yes it does work with it on Bluetooth if you are rooted. here is the link for the GameKlip™ - Universal CaseMount http://buy.thegameklip.com/products/gameklip-casemount. As long as you have a case to mount too it.
Guys i have a G3 and i tried to hook a ps3 controller to it but either the phone or the controller wont read eachother cause it never lights up with an OTG cable ive tried 2 different controllers and still the same result and yes my G3 is rooted cause i knew i may need root but it never reads the controller please help
