I'm about to upgrade to an Arc S (from a non-smartphone), but before I go ahead, has anyone tried connecting an external keyboard to the Arc or Arc S? Either usb or bluetooth?
I used to use a Palm iiixe with a folding keyboard and found it very useful. Hoping that a modern smartphone would be a suitable replacement, but that does rely on using an external keyboard?
if you get the SE livedock you can connect a keyboard directly to the phone
I'm looking for something more mobile.
I've done some googling since I first posted the thread, and found a bit of discussion about using bluetooth keyboards (like the 7dayshop folding keyboard) with Android.
<I can't post links yet>
This looks nearly identical to my old Belkin Palm keyboard.

The LiveDock is a nice add-on to the arc s, but it's also expensive.
There is a less expensive option:
You can buy one of the micro-usb to usb-female (like this one) and connect the keyboard/mouse/usb flash drive.
But - for this to work you have to install a few modules, module loader, usb mount manager and i think you also have to root your device.
I know it sounds complicated and the LiveDock does all of this automatically but it's also an opportunity to know a little bit more about your device.
So whatever you choose - have fun with it
Going slightly off-topic, but does anyone know if the xperia arc (not-rooted) does OTG A/B detection? I presume it only supports device mode normally, so it can accept charge and communications from a host computer.
If you try to connect a usb memory stick or other device by usb, then the phone would have to operate in host mode.
The Arc does support OTG host mode but only for mouse/keyboard/gamepad. It Dosen't support memory stick natively (yet).
If you want to support memory stick you have to root the device, install some modules (through terminal or with module loader app) and mount the memory stick through terminal or mount manager app.
ma si può fare?

Get a bluetooth keyboard. They fold into your back pocket. And are about ten quid from ebay

I have never tried but it's specifically designed for android (and i**** users too uke: ), I think you won't have any problem
can the arc support 2 BT devices, say one BT keyboard and a BT mouse, at the same time? plan to get that instead of livedock. And output the display to HDMI, leaving the USB port free for power/charging when needed.

USE ANY USB KEYBOARD WITH YOUR USB OTG SUPPORTED ANDROID DEVICE!!!!
I've been experimenting with Wifi cards and the samsung galaxy sII
and realized people where having the same problem as i was having with plugging in usb keyboards.
turns out it all has to do with a vendors permission issue. if your device is not in the list, it will seen as "unknown".
As it turns out you can simply add your device and it'll work. mind you it was to be a simple input device and will have the power constraints of 100mW. But if u can compile a driver and splice in dc power.... skies the limit!
steps:
1. Android must be rooted (not going over that) and must support USB OTG (on-the-go)
2. You can either buy a USB OTG micro to female adapter on ebay for like 4 bucks. i decided to make one myself since i have lots of spare parts.
Heads up: a simple micro usb to female usb connector IS NOT THE SAME AS A USB OTG CABLE, they may look the same but the OTG cable has Pin 4 grounded to pin 5 on the micro usb side. This is how the device distinguishes aach type of cable. WARNING: IF MAKING THIS YOURSELF DO NOT CROSS BLACK AND RED, this WILL fry your PHONE.if you don't know you rway around a soldering iron, just buy one
3. Check what manufacturer your device is on this chart, if it's not there, check on the internet or plug the usb device into a linux box and run "lsusb" in the command promt and look for your device, the number will look like this:
Bus ### Device ###:ID <THIS ONE!>:<more numbers> " Company"
here's the chart: (taken from here :http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html)
Code:
Company USB Vendor ID
Acer 0502
ASUS 0b05
Dell 413c
Foxconn 0489
Garmin-Asus 091E
Google 18d1
HTC 0bb4
Huawei 12d1
K-Touch 24e3
KT Tech 2116
Kyocera 0482

PMC-Sierra 04da
Qualcomm 05c6
SK Telesys 1f53
Samsung 04e8
Sharp 04dd
Sony Ericsson 0fce
Toshiba 0930
ZTE 19D2
eg my keyboard is lenovo , so code is 17EF, you get it
4. log in as root, mount system as read-writeable, Create this file: /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
if its already there, then just append the command you want after.
if you dont have root explorer or otherwise installed here is how to in bash:
Code:
su
su
mount -o remount,rw system /system
mkdir -p /etc/udev/rules.d/
cd /etc/udev/rules.d/
now in the "51-android.rules" file add this line (or more for more device support):
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", SYSFS{idVendor}=="<VENDOR CODE>", MODE "0666", NAME=="<VENDOR>"
my example with my lenovo keyboard:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", SYSFS{idVendor}=="17EF", MODE "0666", NAME=="lenovo"
save.
5. plug in the USB OTG cable and plug in your keyboard or other device. it sould say "usb host cable" then "usb device".
on some keyboards the numlock light wont work, due to the fact of power contraints on the phone, you can add support by plicing in 5v DC in to the line (soldering needed) or you can probably jsut attach a powered usb hub
And thats IT, now you can actually type documents at a reasonable pace, without paying an arm and a leg for a supported bluetooth keyboard!!!

just another info on the price of an BT keyboard:

Indeed, you can get some BT keyboards quite cheaply. I already have one, but I'd still like full USB keyboard support (I don't always have my keyboard on me, but lots of people have USB keyboards).
I tested this on an unrooted SGS (Logitech K340 unifying keyboard) and it worked fine without having to change any settings. Just plugged it into the USB OTG adapter and then plugged the adapter into the phone. It said the device was unknown but the keyboard worked when I went to type in the apps. Mice also worked. The logitech MX Performance worked fine. A bit weird seeing a mouse pointer on the phone though.
How about keyboard remapping?

Thanks. This is so cool and I gotta try it at home later (Tried 2 different keyboards at home before but didn't work). Hopefully you could find a way to use PS3 joystick as well.
Maybe we collect a list of device code and update it a single file. Then rom developer can incorporate it into their roms.
Don't worry about post counts. The is definitively a very good finding and development progress for S2.

My skill is quite limited too but with some reading it's not that hard (and I can give some help too).
I am looking for support for my Plantronics USB Headset. I am able to control volume through the headset when connected to OTG, but can't route audio through them.
I believe we do need generic drivers for USB Headsets. Hope one of the elite developers can help us. I will be happy to donate 5 euros for the same
Also, my Microsoft Wireless combo (Desktop 6000 v3) do not work while my wireless mouse 1000 do work absolutely fine on the Phone.

1. Here is an app that will automatically download and install the latest version of Flash for Android (works on Jellybean).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30646684&postcount=1
2. Then, using either ESFile or Root Explorer...do into the base of your phones file system and find the
data/data/mobi.geek.TunnyBrowser/shared_prefs
folder. Delete
installed_plug_pref.xml AND mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser_preferences.xml
3. Now, when you go into Dolphin, it will be Flash enabled (always on)
Make sure that you go to the "more" menu in Dolphin and select user Agent "Desktop"
4. You can additionally (once you have configured your browser preferences) go into the properties of the "shared_prefs" folder and uncheck the write option, so that the settings can no be reverted.
Flash is the fastest I have ever seen on any cell phone...hands down.... easily. I guess it took a 1.6Ghz quad core for Flash to work perfectly on a phone.

Keyboard-

Love them both. Even the function keys on the keyboard work.
I have an Amazon prime account do I paid $30 flat for the both of them.
Now I am on a hunt for an MHL adapter for HDMI out AND to get some programmable NFC tags for use in the car or when I get in the house.
I was thinking about this one since it has the touch pad built in. I sign up for Amazon Prime also but will probably cancel before the promo expires.

So, the point here is that you DONT want any product with a bluetooth dongle. If you don't have bluetooth on your laptop and you want the keyboard to work on your laptop then you have to buy a bluetooth adapter.
I think that you may want to look into this as well. you can control your phone from your PC keyboard and mouse with it.

But, in any case...you want to avoid having a dongle bluetooth receiver for your phone because it will occupy the microusb port and then you can't charge or your HDMI out while using your keyboard or mouse.
Am I making sense here?
Here is an adapter for your PC to have bluetooth:

No I want the option of connecting to my laptop as well so if it comes with a dongle then it is great. I understand I do not need a dongle since my phone already has bluetooth and with the dongle, I won't be able to output to TV since I need that port for the MHL adapter.
So yes, buy that Motorola, and a separate receiver so I can use it with my laptop also. Thanks for all the links you posted so far.:good:
Can you guys recommend me a mouse and keyboard that works with an Android phone?
I've already tried a borrowed wireless mouse (one model from Trust that comes with a wireless dongle) but it didn't work. FWIW, this mouse works out of the box in linux, so no driver issues.
I got disappointed as I expected it to work out of the box for my phone too (youtube video influences).
Is there a reason for this? Is there any compatibility list out there?
So I would like to buy a mouse and keyboard that works.
And my idea is to be able to alternate the mouse and keyboard use with my mobile and my laptop. But not at the same time! Although that raises concerns about device pairing issues.
Requirements:
- both the mouse and keyboard must support wireless mode
- (ideally) they should also support wired mode, with the use of a detachable usb cable
- (ideally) the keyboard must be a silicone keyboard
- (bonus) the keyboard allows backlit
After some time with google I did found only one keyboard and a mouse, but there are issues: the mouse wheel is unconventional (so it may not work), and the keyboard seems to only be available in international layout.
Also I don't know if they will work with the phone or not (and if they will work with linux or not). So any info is welcomed.
So if you have any information about any models, please post it here.
Thanks!

If its the second one as far as I know you can't connect a mouse to a phone with a usb, phones don't have the software or drivers to do this and to be honest why would you want to.You can on the other hand use your phone over wifi as a mouse to control your pc or even Xbox with the right software many apps in the market for this.

Incorrect, incorrect.
USB OTG does not require rooted phone. USB OTG is a fully implemented script for SE devices, as it has official support from Sony aswell (*cough* LiveDock *cough*).
Also, mouse only requires minimum amount of power, so there is very small chance of burning your SoC (system-on-chip). If you want to use external HDD, then it would be whole other story, but mouse shouldn't be a problem at all.

No. I have two devices, arc s and Neo. Every mouse I tested work, including apple, dell, HP etc. It DOES NOT matter if it is rooted or bootloader unlocked. Sounds like a faulty USB otg cable to me. Or use a different mouse.

Sony DK10 LiveDock™ multimedia station works just fine as I see it.
I have tested it on an XPERIA LT26i v4.1.2 with 6.2.B.0.200 ROM with DoomKernel v1 on the following devices:
Aten 4 port USB switch
SanDisk 32GB USB FAT32 flash drive
SDcard/USB card reader
Targus 7 port USB powered hub
Old Dell wireless keyboard
Logitech mouse(non-unifying)
USB non-powered hub.
WD 320GB HDD (FAT32) via Targus powered USB hub.
Canon USB printer
All the above work while powering the phone with one(only) storage device connected at any given time.
A lot of keyboards and mouse(s) may work too, including Logitech mouse(s)/keyboards... just not 2.4GHz Logitech Unifying receivers.
Logitech Unifying receivers and Sony 6.2.B.0.200 ROM do not seem to play well together at the moment.
There is a new firmware release 6.2.B.0.211 coming soon, so fingers crossed this improves things.
The reason I sound so hopeful is that the Logitech Unifying Receiver does show up as a connected device and it doesn't create an error in doing so.
@DooMLoRD did indicate he would look at what options are available to get the back and middle context menu buttons working again on mice, as they stopped working in ICS onwards. Respect, if he can pull that one off. :victory:
Could it be because you where using DoomKernel? I'm on locked Bootloader and Stock Jellybean. I don't have those Options like in your screenshot.

It is possible.
I know I checked my DK10 LiveDock using a leaked 6.2.B.0.197 ROM without any modified kernel and nothing worked with only an error.
I was testing my Unifying USB mouse at the time as I was hoping against all hope, it'd work and we'd have back and context buttons...alas, I was disappointed.
I seem to remember then, just plugging in a SanDisk 32GB flash drive directly into the DK10 LiveDock on it's one USB port as a sanity test and that worked on a leaked ROM(but I could be wrong).
So then I just ignored my DK10 LiveDock until the official Sony 6.2.B.0.200 ROM came out.
Under normal operation, my DK10 LiveDock is connected to an Aten 4-Port USB switch as the first hop which is then farmed out(when device selected) to over 15 USB 2.0 ports which only takes one port to have a NTFS storage device and the whole thing goes pear-shape.
As an aside @DooMLoRD has listed NTFS MicroUSB port support in his Kernel too.
So, before I installed DoomKernel v1.0 which was only minutes after I installed 6.2.B.0.200 I'd not isolated the DK10 LiveDock and done a controlled test.
I only did a controlled test after DoomKernel v1 was installed, that's why I have an eclectic list of devices which I have tested and seen to work with the DK10 LiveDock.
When I installed the next Sony 6.2.B.0.211 ROM I'll update this post with my finding on the DK10 LiveDock before I install DooMKernel as I too, would like to see the Logitech Unifying mouse/keyboard working.
Just tried using my mouse and keyboard with an otg adapter and yep it no longer works for me too. The phone doesnt even show an error it just does nothing

Lets add our problem to that..
Sony DK10 LiveDock™ multimedia station
As promised, I have installed Sony 6.2.B.0.211 with root access, BUT no DoomKernel at this time.
I have not even done the first reboot after installing
Sony 6.2.B.0.211 fw.
I am able to connect and use the Sony DK10 LiveDock™ multimedia station.
The DK10 LiveDock™ multimedia station also powers my phone.
The DK10 LiveDock™ multimedia station is working with the following devices I have tested.
Aten 4 port USB switch
SanDisk 32GB USB FAT32 flash drive
Targus 7 port USB powered hub
Logitech mouse(non-unifying)
USB non-powered hub.
Directly connected to the DK10 dock, is an Aten 4 port USB 2.0 switch (which is display as a connected device) which is then connected to a Targus 7 port USB 2.0 hub.
As a giggle, an additional 4 port USB 2.0 non-power hub is just plugged into the Targus 7 port hub with a 32GB flash drive attached and that works.
I also have two Dell 24" IPS monitors with USB ports which all work in this melee.
This gives a combination of over 16+ USB ports connected/daisy-chained off the Sony DK10 LiveDock™ multimedia station and they all seem to be available.
Logitech 2.4GHz Unifying Mouse/keyboard still does NOT work!!!!
The Logitech 2.4GHz adapter is still shown as connected AND there is no noted errors related to this adapter when plugged in or removed.
Summary
With or without DoomKernel provided by @DooMLoRD the DK10 works and powers the phone on an XPERIA LT26i using Sony 6.2.B.0.211 fw.
Logitech 2.4GHz wireless Unifying adapters for Mouse/Keyboard still don't work.
