[Q] Using physical keyboard with One X? - HTC One X

I have one of thoose F USB to M Micro USB adaptors, and I can use it with my wireless keyboard on my Xoom to control it. With my Xoom, I just plug it in and it works.
With my One X, nothing happens and no mouse appears.
Is there anything I need to do for this to work? I'm running CyanogenMod 20121223-NIGHTLY.
Thanks for any help! :laugh:

Could you describe your keyboard a little bit more? Is it bluetooth keyboard, or some proprietary connection (like Logitech keyboards)?
In case if it's a BT keyboard, then you can just connect it via BT, but I'm 100% sure you're already aware of it.

It's not Bluetooth as far as I know.
There's just a small USB receiver for it which I plug into my computer, and in this case, my One X. However my One X doesn't recognise it.
It doesn't recognise a wired USB mouse either. :?

For USB devices to work you first need to receive the jb update.

Sense JB ROM has OTG enabled can't be sure about AOSP if it is enabled there may be a problem with your OTG cable as I can use mouse and keyboard without problems.

Aosp doesnt have usb otg feature as of yet.
But Kholks kernel does support this feature on aosp roms i guess.

I use Insert Coin and with an OTG cable, my USB keyboard works fine

Windows Vista not recognising my WM6 device

Bit of strange issue with my Hermes. I've just plugged it in, and now I'm getting error messages that an unknown USB device is connected to Vista. The problem is that it's been working fine for over a week now and then it goes and does this. Does anyone have any idea as to how I could try and fix this?
One thing you can try is to remove the CHECK MARK in START > Settings > Connections > USB to PC and UNCHECK Enable advanced network function.
Got the same error twice now, nothing a restart (PC) didn't fix.
or replace USB cable, or use shorten cable, or conect cable not to front USB, but in to the back connectors, bellow keyboard and mouse connectors -

Wow! You have smooth hands.
Seriously... I have had the same issue and all I had to do was restart Vista. You could also kill the wmdc.exe task and that seemed to work for me as well...
All works now; thanks guys.

This was the winning candidate.
You get this often after a flash. I either plug the USB into another port as it tries to install the drivers again or reset the pc.
I tried that but had no joy. It was a bit strange, but at least I've got it sorted now.

Bluetooth keyboard

Hey guys,
Is any bluetooth keyboard compatible with my galaxy s2?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Look at this -> http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bluetooth-Keyboard-Samsung-I9100-Galaxy/dp/B004ZNN8IY
Video I made of Cheap bluetooth mouse, and Apple bluetooth keyboard connected to Galaxy S2 at the same time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXveu7ZHAcY
If the keyboard uses the HID profile it will be compatible (nearly all do).
hmm nice, somewhere i have a bt-keyboard flying around here, i will have to check it
Beside apple A1314 is there any newer bt keyboard that suitable to sgalaxy?

Has anyone tried a motorola bluetooth keyboard and mouse combination with the SGS2, as I think this would make a really nice comination?
I just bought a BT keyboard on eBay but even if the Android apk is provided with it, it doesn't work at all on my GSII
Did you buy the generic one you see everywhere eg. ebay.com/itm/Mini-Wireless-Bluetooth-Keyboard-PS3-Mac-PC-PDA-/270707723765?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item3f07700df5
Or was it some other keyboard?

Can get it to see the keyboard and pair / connect, but not the mouse. It pairs but does not connect (litening rom)
On the CM7 rom, can get the mouse to connect, but not had chance to try the KB yet (will try this PM and try to report back later)
i have just read this post and thought I will give my keyboard a try. I have enabled Bluetooth, turned on my keyboard and run scan, keyboard appears on the list I could recognize device type by the icon. I pared the keyboard and it instantly started working, I could use ESC to go back to previous menu.
My keyboard was very cheap (5-10 Euro) and looks like this: Slim Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard

Do we need the live dock to connect accessories ?

Hi,
Everything is in the title. I saw this News on androidcentral and they say
This is a brand new smartphone dock which serves not only as a charging station, but allows you to connect USB peripherals like keyboards and mice, and control your phone using good old-fashioned button-based devices.

This means we can't connect anything unless we have this dock right ? That's stupid everything is already in the phone, bluetooth, HDMI etc... Am i right ?
USB-OTG (for Memory Sticks, Keyboard, etc.) seems to be working fine with with a standard, cheap Micro USB-OTG lead from eBay. To get it working, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224676
My lead looks like this one:

By the way, does anyone know what app that is running on the Samsung pictured? The Q5 USB manager works fine, but this looks nicer!
I don't think it's a must for USB-OTG, but a software update is required, currently I tried using a simple adapter with USB flash, it recognized it as a USB device but I couldn't use it...
They said that there will be a software update in October ( 2.3.4 ) that will officially support USB-OTG...
For keyboard and mouse, you can currently use Bluetooth mouse and keyboard with it, I tested the mouse with Apple Magic Wireless Mouse and it worked normally the cursor appeared and worked like a charm...
I just hope the USB-OTG includes USB Mass Storage devices like USB flash, it will be very useful

How did you do that? I can't get my bluetooth mouse connected. It says in dutch gekoppeld maar niet verbonden. What is something like paired but not connected. And i don't get a cursor. I use latest firmware rooted with doomlord kernel.

interesting. that may be an option rather than waiting for the livedock, but if the bluetooth keyboard and mouse combo costs higher then its not cost efficient.
when you connect the Arc via HDMI to a monitor, is there a way to turn of the Arc display to save battery since display is outted to a screen anyway?

Can only connect to single BT device.

My truck stereo supports bluetooth audio, and I have a Jawbone Era. My phone auto connects to truck when I get in. If I turn my Era on, it can't connect to phone until I shut truck stereo off. Vice versa as well.
My iPhone 4 could connect to both at same time, and so could my even older blackberry. This allows me to listen to music on on, and take calls on the other if I wish.
How do I enable this on my HOX?
Is this and android limitation, or an HTC limitation?
You can only have one profile active at a time. If your truck and headset both use the handsfree profile, you'll have to turn it off for the truck so you can connect to the headset.
My car only uses the a2dp profile, but when I connect it to my headset too it only uses my car's a2dp and not my headset's a2dp.

Ok that makes sense, thanks.
Can I choose which device gets access to that profile, like on the iPhone, or is it always first come, first serve?

In your bluetooth setting menu next to each device you can long press on an entry and choose options to disable a specific profile.

When I going to blue tooth devices, I see my devices. Long press does nothing, but clicking on the button beside I can see the profiles.

But when I try to unchecked a profile it just tries to connect to using that profile. Long press doesn't seem to work here either. Maybe I have to be connected to the device to disable the profile.
I am on the right track now, thanks.

Oh yeah, sorry long press was Gingerbread

Yep, you have to be conn cted to the device before it will let you disable a profile.

It depends on what brand android stick you are using. There is an app for MK808 II and MK 808 III but I never any other app for any other Android stick. Most android sticks are controlled by wireless keyboard/mouse.
