My set up! - Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories

Sorry if this isn't the place to post, but I was geeked at the moment:
$35 for the iHome ihm78 rechargeable stereo speakers (target)
$9 for slim bluetooth mouse (ebay)
$19 for slim BT android Keyboard(ebay)
$9 for "samsung OEM" knockoff case (ebay, Kinda love it)
Everything ( save for the speakers, they have their own little carry bag) fits in a Swiss Gear 10.1 Tablet Pouch.
(including the charger cable + brick, OTG usb cable, micro USB cable, and some headphone)
lightest computer i've ever taken to school

Nice, I especially like the keyboard and mouse. What type of and how many batteries do they take? If you've had an opportunity to use them for a while, how long do the batteries for the keyboard and mouse last? Sorry to ask so many questions but I'm looking for a nice BT keyboard and mouse, Thanks for the post.

No problem bud.
The Keyboard and Mouse use AAAx2 each.
I've been using them pretty frequently for the last month and i've yet to have my batteries go out on me.
I'm using some rechargeable ones, I think they're 850 or 900 mAh a piece, so perhaps that's the reason for the longevity.
***One piece of advice***
If you are using an on screen keyboard other than the stock one, it'll force you back to the stock for BT keyboard use. Only problem with that is that you get tremendous lag, and any key that allows for additional characters automatically engages. So for example "e" would bring up all the additional accents and such, which kills your flow if you are a swift typer.
My solution was to gain root access and freeze the stock keyboard with Titanium Backup. I still get the notice to switch, but I'm not forced. Using the BT Keyboard with AOSP Android Keyboard yeilds the best results imho. No delay, no double entries, instant response.

This is awesome to see. I just purchased my note for classes starting in February because i didn't want to lug a heavy laptop plus books to school. Now i can have ebooks as well.
Question though. I rooted my note the day i got it but then was running into many force closes for things that got pretty annoying. So i UN rooted and went back to stock. Your saying the only way you could figure out your typing issues was to gain root access and freeze the stock keyboard app? Have you had any force closes? Did you flash a ROM or just gain root access?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

I only rooted the stock ROM. As for force closes, I did get a few with polaris office, but I realized it was the due to the version it was running. I downgraded to a prior one and the FC's stopped. I'm on the fence about "fix permissions" options. Not terribly effective on my phone, but it seems to be doing well on my Note. Hope this helped.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app

Hey quick heads up, there's a keyboard in the playstore called null keyboard that you can set as your input which then eliminates the need to freeze.the android keyboard. It is just a dummy input with no actual keyboard.

This is great to know as well another option other than root.

How do you find the case so far? I am inclined to buying it but I tried the original samsung case and I am concerned that it does not protect the tablet on the corners very well.
Can you give us your opinion on it?
Thanks!

In my opinion, the case is pretty good. I share your concerns with the sides of the tablet though. I think in pretty rough with it, and I've yet to see a crack or any marring on the tab. That, and I always keep it in the pouch when in transit or not in use.

Rather than start a new thread, I thought I'd post my setup in this thread. I've now got a new Zagg Flex BT keyboard, which has a standard key layout making typing much nicer; a Gearhead BT scrolling mouse, a RavPower RP WD01 battery-powered wireless hub with bridge mode (which I've reveiwed here in accessories--no need for OTG cables with this wonderful little unit); and I just received a very nice Clarion Monster HD BT stereo speaker as a gift. I'm very happy with my setup and it servers as a nice laptop replacement when I want to travel light.

Could you post a link to the "Swiss Gear 10.1 Tablet Pouch"? I have a very similar setup but my keyboard is about a quarter to half inch from fitting my carry pouch. I tried to find one like yours but can't tell which one you have.
Also have you had any connection problems with either the keyboard or the mouse?
Are you still getting good battery life?

Pros:
-It's a stand
-It's a keyboard
-It charges your Tab
Cons:
-Not that portable
-Can't use with a case on
-People say it messes up your screen protector
-Pricey
There are a lot of decent Bluetooth keyboards that work great with the 10.1. Pair one of these with a stand case and you can still come out cheaper than the dock alone.
best solution is to either wait for the Samsung Bluetooth Keyboard case [$160] (if you'd like to use the Honeycomb dedicated keys)

yep i believe so since it uses bluetooth, the media keys might even work also since its designed for an Honeycomb device !
Saw a video on youtube ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRRBm6l9wNk ) where it does something very annoying. The on screen keyboard keeps popping up, and he had to hit a key on the keyboard to get rid of it.
yea, it might have been fixed with the Touchwizz update ?!

Check out galaxy tab 10.1 official demo 11:26
sorry, I cant post it but u guys know what it is.
looks like a laptop like case, similar to what asus transformer has except prob BT connection instead of docking station to me. anyone knows about that case?
I have the keyboard dock (I also have the standard dock). I really like it and definitely feel it is worth buying.
Pros:
1. Nice keyboard + dedicated keys. Quality feel.
2. Nice relatively small dock.
3. Nice color, tablet looks nice in dock.
4. Creates a compact, space efficient, one piece workstation with tablet.
5. Allows you to use the tablet without having to hold it!!!!! Very convenient ... allowing you to do other things while you are using the tablet.
6. I have a Supertooth Bluetooth speaker system linked up with my Tab and the dock is a nice way to have the tablet available while it is streaming content the the Supertooth.
Cons:
1. Occasionally tablet needs to be rebooted because of problem. This is not frequent enough to be a problem for me.
2. I haven't checked it yet, but there are reports that if you are using an alternative tablet keyboard conflicts can cause more problems. I have temporarily stopped using Swype and my T9 custom software keyboards.
Summary, a very nice option to own.

did you just ignore post #3
its annoying for me since i own similar keyboard dock for my 7 tab.. and the on screen keyboard popping out all the time basically nullifies the advantages of the keyboard itself... and its quite heavy too.. i imagine its gonna be heavier on the 10.1 version.
anyway, aint worth it if you ask me.. and your stuck with the same layout too which is not optimized.. better buy bluetooth or just use the usb keyboard with the usb adapter.. much worthed i think.
Thanks for the reviews. I picked it up today. I haven't gotten to play on it much since I forgot to charge my tablet last night. I've still got to get my mouse to work with it. Doesn't seem to work with touchwiz.
I'm currently using a setup of Mac Bluetooth keyboard and the Akron tablet stand. I find this setup a lot better than the keyboard dock.

Apple Bluetooth Keyboard & Rocksoul Bluetooth Mouse BOTH Working!!!!

OMG! I LOVE THIS PHONE even more. Tonight I was able to connect my Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and Rocksoul Bluetooth Mouse and am now doing my homework on my new tablet computer! Our Galaxy S2 really is an amazing device. Not only is it a sick phone, it allows us to have a personal computer in our hands ready to do whatever work we need at anytime.
This phone's value just went UP in my book. I got my Apple Silver Wireless Keyboard for 65.00 & currently use it with my Mac Mini.
The Rocksoul silver mouse set me back 25.00 tonight at Microcenter. I'm sure there may be cheaper alternatives however I can confirm both work very well and complement the phone very well.
Any questions please ask....by the way I posted this from my Apple keyboard!
The only caveat is that the phone allowed me to pair 2 devices at once. I had to unpair my bluetooth earpiece to get my mouse to pair up.
I'm sure there's a work around out there...for now I'm happy I'm able to do my homework on my phone it doesn't matter
HDMI to mini USB Cable works with this as well! So now I'm using my 32" HDTV as my computer mononitor...
Anyone who is on the fence about this phone now has another reason to be sold

Now, we need a keyboard app that once installed and selected, the on-screen keyboard will stay hidden. i remember back in the days before Android, with my Windows PDA, they had a small keyboard program that when activated will prevent the on screen keyboard from popping up when you needed to type.
It seems something like that should be out there in the market. i havent found it though.
Edit: i think i found one -

yes i know this, i owned this one some months ago, and let me say: DON'T BUY IT
it's only cheap plastik. yes, there is an adapter for quite all phone models, but it's very unconfortable, buy a psp if you want to play seriously on the road.
if you are only a casual gamer, virtual touch controls are enough, and on the beautifull touch screen of gs2 it's better than crappy physical controls.
listen to me: for casual gaming use touch controls on your phone, for REAL GAMING there are pc-ps3-xbox-wii, in the middle psp-nds (for kids)
Anyone tested OnLive controler ???
It looks like great to use because the phone is attached to the joypad but i think it is quitte uggly.

I use the PC wireless adapter plugged into my Gaalxy Tab 7.0 Plus via USB. USB/BT Joystick Center for the setup, and through root and the joystick2touch setup it gives compatibility with pretty much any game that has touch buttons.
How do you do it mate ? Can you please explain this step by step ?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
This is sort of the thing that you shouldn't be doing if you can't read your way to how to do it on yourself, simply because there are so many different ways it can not work, but ok. You install USB/BT Joystick Center, and if you have root, the joy2touch addon. You make sure you've enabled USB/BT's USBjoyIME fake keyboard in input settings of your device, start the app, and plug in your x360 wireless adapter via USB. You give it permission to use the USB input, swithc to the USBjoyIME "keyboard", turn on the xbox controller, pair it the way you pair those controllers, select the controller in the app. Test that buttons show up, and that's it for non-root setup. You then program buttons normally in whatever app you use. If you have root, you can start the touch addon from within the main app, and when in-game, hold 4 fingers on the screen to enter touch edit mode. You then press a button and click on the screen where you want it to go. That programs it to send the device fake touchscreen input data when you press the button
Note that I do this on a Galaxy tab, not the S II. I just mentioned it in passing and actually use a phonejoy on my s ii
Thanks mate ..i am gonna try this once i am free.

That question suggests you're not really aware of how game controllers function on Android...which is perfectly understandable. I'm working on a guide to game controllers on Android that will be done tomorrow or so, it should help clear up a few things
I have the iControlPad (OP's post) and I can say that it works beautifully with my S2.
I had to drill a hole in the retainer clip in order to make it hold my phone+case (It will hold a caseless i9100 without issue otherwise), but other than that it is a wonderful piece of hardware. Makes playing the Kairosoft games a breeze!

Dive you want it at 60*, add a third leg to make it a tripod. Think of the rear leg from the Microsoft surface. Maybe keep the same two spoke design for it and pivot it off of the center point.
Have the 3 legs collapse on each other (by spinning) and I'll buy one
Would be good if you were able to detach the charging cable from the actual wireless charger. This way its nice and clean look for when you just want to use it as a stand.
Maybe have the third leg come off the center of the wireless charger and have a microusb port at the foot of the 3rd leg where you would plug in the charger cord.

This should be easy to acomodate. I am planning to have small base legs come off the 2 ends and toward the rear, this way you minimize amount of plastic, and still have an adjustable angle and leave the Qi clean at the top. Run the power cable down one of the side to an end and have the power plug plug in there so that cable runs up the base leg.
I want this, as I have been considering the like since replacing my old Nexus 7 with OEM dock for the new one. I used the old N7 on my nightstand as an alarm clock/clock radio, and to stream content to my bedroom a/v system. I used it for the same purposes while traveling as well.
It needs to be stable, like the old dock, and not too deep as there are numerous other items on a nightstand (water, kleenex, phone, etc.).
Looking forward to seeing how this progresses.
Let me know if you need any help with this. I have an engineering background/degree and am well versed in solidworks also.

Unfortunately I am much more mechanical than electrical. I definitely dabble with my electronics though and have done some other electrical projects with another tablet in the past. For starters, learning the qi spec would be a good start. This seemed like a really good read.

I saw somewhere (can't remember where) and Qi charger designed to be built into furniture (like a desktop). Just use a hole saw to make the right side hole for it to pop into, so that would get all the electronics out of the way in one chunk.
It would be good to start piecing together the charging circuit.

Has anyone for dinner a Bluetooth keyboard that works with Sammy? From reading other forums it appears that there are problems with the signal cutting in and out. I have the P605 model.

I use the Logitech K810. I think its an issue with the individual tablets rather than the keyboards.
I have a Cygnett Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard. Small and cheap.

Anyone using a Microsoft Wedge? This is my current front-runner as I wait for my 10.1 2014 to arrive (supposedly it will arrive tomorrow... we shall see).
Edit: just delivered a day early! w00t!
In his thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2526070, BarryH nails the problem as a fight between the internal and external keyboards. His solution worked for me.
I don't think it matters which keyboard you have, as long as the internal keyboard is disabled while the Bluetooth is connected.
Bluetooth keyboards
I'm looking at these two:

Im actually using a usb otg keyboard case for generic 10 inch tablets. Works well. I can set the tablet inside like a stand and plug up with my Logitech wireless mac touchpad and basically use the thing like a laptop. Much more stable than bluetooth even if you don't have that glitch (I dont) Use external keyboard helper pro to map special functions to the keys. Mine is set so I can control brightness, sound, and open several applications all from the keyboard. VERY NICE!!

I like the azio one better, because the dimensions look like they fit better with the note. (i.e., they are approximately the same width at about 9.5"). I have one of the Logitech keyboards that have the pop-up stand (http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/tablet-keyboard-ipad), and while the keyboard is much more sturdy and the build quality is excellent, it drives me up the wall that the keyboard is wider than the tablet, which makes it not as portable as I would like.
(For what it's worth, the Azio can be found on Amazon for about $32).
I use my Motorola Bluetooth Keyboard, which I bought for the Motorola Xoom a couple of years ago ... works like a charm ...

There was an announcement in November about an ASUS keyboard called the TransKeyboard, but no info on release date or price. Anyone have any info on this? Looks like it may be nice, built for android (and windows) with cover and stand.
I had a Transformer TF700T tablet and wasn't thrilled with that keyboard so I won't be buying another.

I just ordered a keyboard from Anker for 20€, which could be unique, as it uses two AAA batteries (about 2000mAh) instead of the typical sub-300mAh lithium battery. Will tell whether it works, when it arrives.

How is the case? Ive been eyeing this keyboard but not sure how I will like toating around a keyboard for classes and not having it built into the base. I keep going back to the Poetic removable keyboard case.
Its actually well built and the keyboard feels great. The case has a faux leather feel and the sliding stand is plastic. Decent viewing angle. It has some useful Android specific keys on there which help u navigate around. It's responsive, to the point where it doesnt lag behind while typing, but that point where u initially start typing, it takes 2 seconds to realize which keyboard ur typing with, internal or external

I've just sent off for this keyboard from ebay.
A little pricey at almost £50 but wanted a decent backlit keyboard & the size looks ideal.

The Anker Ultra Slim BT has anchored. I thought it were smaller, bu it has a fullsize layout, notebook-like look and feel. Would work flawlessly, if the Samsung keyboard would not kick Swiftkey, once the Anker is detected. I later have to restore Swiftkey as default kb. On my old tablet (with CM11) Swiftkey runs the external kb.
Im using the HP BT Keyboard... cheap and works flawless.... never disconnects....
