For us Galaxy NOte II users.
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.
I manually installed it and using it with Boat Browser. Works flawlessly. Now I got to get bluetooth/mouse for it to browse the web on my TV.

I just bought a bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
Mouse-

Keyboard-
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004HCO4GI/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00
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.

I bought the universal MHL to HDTV from Samsung which comes with an adapter. But the adapter is quite fat and you will need to remove most case in order to use it. My case is a pain in the rear end to remove.

That is a teeny tiny one! Unless you want that on purpose.
You could try this one with a slide out mouse pad:

I just saw the picture next to the phone, it is tiny. That Motorola one looks good but it doesn't come with a bluetooth dongle. I can use it with my phone but not my laptop and I am not sure what bluetooth HID is and if they sell separate adapter.

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:

Get a Bluetooth 4.0 with LE (Low energy technology). they are like 10 bucks.

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:

heres one for all you app developers out there,
having just purchased an acer aspire one 521 netbook, after upgrading the HDD from 160gb to 640GB, and adding some more ram, then swapping out the std wireless, to include int bluetooth, i have now connected this to my tv via hdmi, and am now looking for a keyboard/mouse that actually functions correctly, currently using a keyboard i got from maplins (but i will be returning it tomorrow as it keeps loosing the connection forcing me to reboot the keyboard.
it was while i was checking oput my SGS when i thought why not ask if is possible to make an app (i do not have the tech knowledge to do such a thing) to turn the touch screen into a bluetooth keyboard or mouse, via a toggle switch.
i have seen in the supported bluetooth profiles it can support bluetooth HID (human interface device) so im asking any app developer willing to take on such a task (you may even be able to charge for it in the market place), as currently there is no solution to this.
http://www.gmote.org/
thing i don't like about gmote is that it requires server-software instead of just using bluetooth hid

Exactly why would you want to use a mouse? For small, incremental things that your fingers don't feel like they're precise enough? Just curious, not trying to troll.

Haven't gotten my Xoom yet; but wouldn't the arrow keys accomplish this to some extent? Obviously can't play touch games and things, but could navigate around apps and things. Curious how well the arrow keys do work for anyone who has done this? Love the idea of hooking up to my TV for youtube, music, etc...
I tried my presentation keyboard today and the touchpad did not work. I would not take this as an absolute that a bluetooth mouse will not work but it does not look like it from here. It is possible that a dedicated BT mouse will work where a keyboard mouse combination device did not.

Same problem I have with my Logitech DiNovo mouse... Actually tried this this morning, just for giggles. Pairs but won't connect. My same DiNovo keyboard pairs and works perfectly. I think it doesn't connect because it doesn't really know what to do with a mouse, I doubt Google built in that functionality.
I think someone would have to write an app that overlays the actual cursor - as there is no cursor built-in. However, I am running 1.7 on my Asus netbook - installed with no issues, and it recognizes and uses the mouse - built-in mousepad, usb mouse, and bt mouse. So the functionality is there, I guess Motorola never thought to implement it. Perhaps somebody more familiar with the OS could enable this?

Currently what I do with my laptop is hook it up via the VGA cable to my TV and use my iPhone and the handy Logitech Air Mouse app to control what's going on.
So same as a Bluetooth touchpad, I guess. I'm sure we'll figure something out
I paired a Razor Orochi to it, and its showing as a little mouse icon instead of the keyboard icon, so someone was thinking about it.
Hope someone can get this working, I enjoy hooking my SGS up to the tele and using my BT keyboard and mouse with it, so this functionality is quite important to me.
Wouldn't the Xoom need drivers associated with the mouse? Or maybe the bluetooth connection suffices...
we might need to take a look at the Viewsonic G-Tablet cursor code. Has a nice cursor when using a usb or bluetooth mouse. Not sure how or anything, programing is not my specialty. My biggest flaw lol

I would love to see this working, having a mouse would make it much less awkward when used as a laptop replacement for work.
I don't really understand why this isn't built in from the get go, hopefully Google being the update and improve fanatics they are, will add in this functionality officially. But in the meantime, would love to see this working with some fanangling
Dex
Agree completely. We have a keyboard, why not a mouse. Hopefully it's in the kernel somewhere waiting to be enabled. I don't imagine drivers would be a problem once the OS recognizes it.
I would love to see this working as well! We have USB and HDMI out, why not have this. It would be like a nice little cloud-based work or browsing terminal in the bedroom instead of breaking out a laptop or having a net-top in there... Good for road warriors too.
I don't understand why mouse functions would work in pre-Honeycomb versions of the OS and it would be left out now. That would be ridiculous.
I have a bluetooth keyboard from logitech, and it makes the tablet much easier to use, more of a laptop experience. Now I wanted to use the tablet connected to my TV, but find it a hassle to have to use the screen to select things. ect.
My question is, will any bluetooth mouse work? Logitech has a special android mouse, but its $50! I see other bluetooth mice out there for about $10-20.
Will any bluetooth mouse work? Or do I need a "special" android tablet mouse?
Thanks!
No. You need to be sure that the mouse pairs with the tablet via a 4 digit code (usually 1234 or 0000). The Targus bluetooth laser mouse (AMB03US) supposedly doesn't need a code, but I couldn't get the tablet to pair without it. I switched to a different mouse (Targus Bluetooth Comfort Mouse #BH3874)which used a code and it worked flawlessly.
yes ı use atech bt630 is work
YEAP!!
Yes!! With current Technology, many Bluetooth Mouse are possible to be paired with tablets. Some of them is specially built for pairing purposes too You may ask Acer/Tablet Specialists near your area, for ensuring your Tablet A1000 is confirmed compatible to your plan-to-buy Bluetooth mouse
If this helps and convinces you, pls kindly hit ''thanks'' button

I took the risk and bought a cheap "slim black bluetooth mouse" from ebay ($10) and it works! Im currently using the logitech android keyboard. I know any bluetooth keyboard will work, but the Android specific funtions really make things easier.
Hello. I have a bluetooth keyboard and mouse that pairs and connects succesfully but after entering in idle state for a few seconds they both stop working until i press on the keyboard or mouse. Is that normal? Is there a way to avoid this idle state and loss of connection?

Argh! i've been trying more than 1 week figuring how to let my nexus 7(2013) shows the mouse pointer. I was able to use my bt mouse at the 1st time connected to N7 but after disconnect and reconnect it again, it does not works anymore. i have try to unpair and pair it again several times, restart my device, it did paired with N7 but it doesn't shows the pointer on the screen. i am sure my bt mouse works well, i am able to use it on my pc and SGS 3 but not my N7 after disconnect it. Anyone having this issue too?

Bluetooth working mouse with Android devices
Hi
Last month I bought Modecom BT keyboard with case and mouse (set) for Sony Xperia Z2 tablet.
Keyboard - model Modecom MC-TKC10BT and mouse model - Modecom MC-BM6
Keybaord has worked well since beginig, but I have had problems with mouse - flickering, many stops,
completely unusefull.
I have paired both devices with Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 (rooted - X-Note ROM version - 16.0 by Soloilmeglio - Xentrix
Android based 4.4.2) and there was the same problem (only with mouse).
I have thought there is Android problem, but I have bought new - cheap mouse Esperanza Model EM123K and it works well and smoothly.
There is not any stops and disruptions.
It seems that is not an Android problem (As I wrote on some internet sites and forums), but hardware problem with some bluetooth devices.
Best regards
Marek
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!
anyone?

I apologize up front because I can see that this has been discussed but I can't find a definitive answer after reading through all the different threads.
Is there a way to pair a bluetooth keyboard + mouse/trackpad to the Fire TV with a device that can't be rooted?
I ask because like a lot of others, I just pre-ordered the Fire TV Stick. Now I know it's not out so we don't know what it can/can't do but assuming the code is the same, I'm trying to do some homework before it arrives. And since the Stick doesn't have the USB inputs, I have to rely on Bluetooth or maybe an app for a virtual keyboard/mouse if anyone knows of one.
Thanks in advanced!
I didn't even think of that. I ordered two. I use my K400 occassionally for different apps. I was using the limitless remote app too. The new Fire Tv Remote app might work but I will miss the K400.

Yeah. I'm looking for it to use with HBOgo mostly. I'm guessing that the mouse is the important input to get that working.
It will be great if I can pair my Bluetooth mouse with Fire TV Stick.

This is exactly what I am trying to figure out also, a Bluetooth keyboard/trackpad that will work with sideloaded apps like HBO GO or NFL Game Pass that are not compatible with the remote.
usb dongles work on firetv, not on firetv stick.... for now.
Would also like to know, sideloaded Settings.apk on mine to get to the stock android settings. Can detect Microsoft bluetooth mouse, Monoprice bluetooth headset and sound brick but none of them pair right. The two audio devices make a pairing sound. But don't play audio.
I sideloaded the settings.apk, and using it I'm able to successfully pair Apple Wireless Keyboard and Apple Magic Mouse. Both keyboard and mouse functionalities work just as if it was USB keyboard/mouse.

Yes, keyboard pairing works with both Fire TV and Fire TV Stick. I've sideloaded the settings apk and have successfully paired the AERB IBK-02 keyboard with trackpad/mouse to both devices. This keyboard has a trackpad, but it has limited functionality. Although scrolling is possible with two finger touch, you cannot click and drag. For this you'll need to pair up a Bluetooth mouse.

I picked this up for my Samsung TV ( doesn't work with mine - no Bluetooth )
But, it works with my Sony GoogleTv and my FTV stick with settings apk side-loaded
the nice thing with this keyboard is that you can pair it with 3 different devices.
It has a selector button on the top to choose which one.
I haven't played with it very long and am trying to figure out what works and what doesn't
To use the touch-pad a switch on the bottom needs to be slid to "mouse mode"
I can't use the TV specific buttons on the right side of the keyboard. Wish i knew how to get them to work with the GoogleTv - it has an Ir blaster built in and will control volume,channel,etc
It will power my TV on and off - it has an Ir transmitter. But, that is all that does - strange
They are marked down to $39 at Best Buy and there are usually many open boxed ones to be had for less. Original price was about $100
But, they are mostly useless for the Samsung Tvs that they do work on - Most of apps do not support the keyboard or so I have read.
Wish the was some sort of unifying remote that I could connect to it and then plug into my TV though.
If you get one, the touchpad goes into a sleep mode after 30 seconds or so. I've read that hitting any button will wake it up. I didn't know that at first and was pairing it , unpairing it and powering it off.
If anyone else picks one of these up, Please post your findings
