Can I use a mouse without rooting my device?
Yes, buy an OTG adapter and plug it in. Also, I believe you can get a bluetooth mouse and use that.
Yes, Bluetooth mouse and keyboard work without issues. I have a Logitech mouse and an Apple keyboard that never gave me problems.

That,s great, I have an HP model that doesn't require a transmitter. On my first few attempts I it wouldn't recognize it. Got it now.
Next question, Is there any software to control settings for the mouse? Everything on the play store seems to turn your android INTO a mouse. What do you use? Thanks.

found a cable to connect to hdtv but kinda wondering if I bought cable would you be able to do internet from phone to tv?
And if so is there a wireless mouse/keyboard compatible to work with phone?
Was told it could be possible.....someone said motorola photon could, and didnt see why epic touch couldnt!
With mhl adapter the phone does full hdmi mirroring... What is on phone screen is on tv screen..... The mouse and everything else don't know haven't tried it.

My Microsoft Bluetooth mouse works just fine with it.
I'm sure that my apple bluetooth keyboard and mice would work then. FYI if you peeps do connect the apple keyboard, don't forget to hit function f6 twice..otherwise your keyboard won't work properly
I bought a Targus bluetooth mouse today. It detets and gets to a pair window where i enter a pin to pair however the mouse doesnt require a pin and my galaxy nexus on stock 4.0.2 wont allow me to pair without a pin.
Has anyone experienced this and, more importantly, anyone have a soultion? Ive tried 0000, 1234, blueinput to no avail.

Just post here to keep an eye on this topic!
Can you connect two devices at once via bluetooth?
You can, yes. I haven't used the mouse Keyboard combo yet as I can't pair the mouse, but the Headset and keyboard combo works fine. May have to source another bluetooth mouse that requires a PIN for definite.
Targus AMB03 Do not pair.
I have exactly the same problem.
My mouse is the Targus AMB03US, it is a HID bluetooth mouse and it does not require any pin at any OS.
I use a GSM Galaxy Nexus with AOKP milestone 5 and Franco Kernel Milestone 4.
I can find the mouse but when I touch to pair it my phone do not let me continue without PIN. The only thing I need is to press OK without putting any pin but I cannnot do it.
Is there a way to pair bluetooth dipositive without pin?
Well, I never got this problem rectified. infact, I had to buy a completely new mouse. Microsoft 5000 series Bluetooth Notebook mouse. Works great with my GN and can now confirm from personal experience that the Think Outside Stowaway keyboard and mouse connect and work together great

Just got my Razer ProClick mouse to work with SGS3.
At first SGS3 software always promted me for a PIN code and I know that my mouse has none. It wouldn't allow me to input a blanck code...
What I did was I connected a normal USB mouse (well, not really normal - a Cyborg RAT 7 lol) via a micro USB to USB cable then disconnected it. Then I simply tried pairing the Bluetooth mouse again and it didn't ask me for any PIN code! It just paired automatically. Must have picked up some mouse drivers via USB from another mouse, I don't know.... but it works flawlessly now.
Maybe someone will find it helpful...
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

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?

Does not shows mouse pointer on N7 screen
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
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 works well with the FireTV: http://eud.dx.com/product/ipazzport...google-tv-player-black-844230388#.VHTNJTSsVx0

Is that a bluetooth device? Or does it have a USB dongle? The Fire Stick doesn't have a free USB port.

USB dongle. I don't use the port for anything else so its fine for me.
Has anyone tried a USB hub on the Fire?

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

Hello
i tried to connect an Apple Magic Trackpad - i can find it and i can write the pin then im am stuck - it wont connect - how did you do it ?
What kind of app do I need for controlling a tablet with FireTV via my K400r keyboard?
There must be some kind of app with bluetooth communication that can make my FireTV hooked K400r keyboard act as the physical keyboard for the tablet.
The only USB is a micro one,while the keyboard only works with mini USB and normal USB via adapter.
I wanna try various things with the comfort of a physical keyboard and mouse without needing to buy another keyboard with bluetooth.
Also,is there a root method for RCA 7 Mercury with 4.4 KitKat?
Towelroot says "not yet supported" when trying.
