[Q] To those of you using the moto keyboard and Razer Orochi Mouse

Do you find that your keyboard disconnects a lot? When I'm using it with my mouse it tends to disconnect and un-pair an awful lot. So,thinking my keyboard was just a bit busted, I exchanged it for a different one. Aaaaand this one seems to do the same thing. Anyone have similar issues? I know tons of you are using the same configuration. I'm on the tiamat rom.

bring up my post

anyone.....

I don't think anybody has that specific combination. But maybe if you rephrased to Bluetooth mice as a general subject, you may get some answers.

at least 4 other users have commented and posted pictures of this specific combo in other threads.

Well maybe go for a direct approach and pm them?

I havnt had any issues... but i dont regularly use both of them at the same time. I mostly been using my XOOM by itself. Are you using a custom rom or kernel? Have you tried doing a factory reset?

yes, my keyboard disconnects constantly, and I have to go into settings to connect it again. I try pressing all the buttons, turning it on and off......doesn't help. My Microsoft bluetooth mouse doesn't disconnnect. I tried turning off the mouse and just using the keyboard, but still have the disconnects....the onscreen keyboard keeps popping up. I'm typing this now on the Moto keyboard.....it's a great size, and I can type really fast on it. When it's connected.
edit: Ok, I think it actually was the mouse (Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000)....it's been disconnected for a while, and the keyboard is working fine. So I have to find another mouse. It really was neat being able to use the mouse, but if I wanna type really fast, I gotta turn it off. I missed 3 eBay snipe bids because the keyboard wouldn't connect. LOL

maybe it's a mouse issue in general then? I have a different mouse than you and your symptoms sound exactly like mine. BUMP THAT, could you do some testing for us? Just use your mouse and keyboard together more often.

I was chatting on Facebook for a while using just the keyboard with the mouse turned off, and it was typing in all caps a lot and wouldn't backspace some of the time. I gave up and used the touch keyboard. I'm away on vacation, but when I go back home I have another of the same Moto keyboards. I'LLC have to try that. It was practically free with that 50% off, $50 off sale they had, so I have 2. Oh, nice...it auto corrected i'll to I'LLC. Nothing is working for me today! LOL

i might bringthe mouse and keyboard to best buy this week to see if I can replicate the issues on the Acer and Samsung tabs.

I will try to replicate the problem. Anything u r doing in particular? How long should I wait before I say im done?

occasionally it'll go forever with no problems for me. Other time's it'll disconnect and give me issues within the first minute
Sync keyboard
Sync mouse
Do stuff
Try syncing the mouse first too, whatever

I tried both out and nothing... I was on facebook for about 15 - 20 minutes and I didnt have any issues. Im running BRD's 3.1 HC update not the tiamat rom. I can test again later and see if it acts up, very odd tho.

I'm on the rom. jumphour what are you on.

Motorola Xoom WiFi - Tiamat Xoom 1.4.4 overclocked to 1.54 GHz

so stock image with tiamat kernel then

Yes im on stock, with tiamat kernel. Im gonna update to tiamat 1.1 rom soon.

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but this still seems to happen, regardless of the keyboard and device. I have a Nexus 7 with the Logitech keyboard, and the Orochi conflicts with it as well. It's a problem with Android in general.
For what it's worth, the Bluetooth Settings menu shows both the Orochi and the keyboard as keyboard devices, as in you can select a language/layout that the Orochi uses, even though it's just a mouse. Maybe that's why we're seeing the conflict.

[Q] USB Keyboard support

I have tried two different USB keyboards (Cherry evolution stream XT, Cherry G80-3000) but none of them seems to work.
Both keyboards are working when connected to a pc. The OUYA usb port recognizes my mouse. So I guess it has to be a software problem.
Anybody else encoutering similar problems or having an idea to solve this issue?
I didn't find a single thread where a corded USB keyboard didn't work. I have no other keyboard to test .

Even with the keyboard attached? Do you connect the keyboard before booting up?
I've been using the Asus keyboard from my pc with no issues. When connected there is always the option to enable and disable it.

I have had problems in this area as well. For me pulling the power, plugging in the keyboard, and then putting the power back seems to work a lot of the time. Sometimes it is just a matter of doing it a bunch of time until the keyboard is finally recognized. To me, this issue speaks to the build quality and software quality of the Ouya in general. Stuff like this makes the Ouya pain in the a** for the masses.

What about using the power button to initiate a real shut down before attaching the keyboard.
It seems the OUYA is not built using parts from a single manufacturer and that has a lot to do with inconsistent performance.

I tried everything mentioned in this thread at least a few times with the two different keyboards with no effect.
I pulled the cord, plugged both keyboards in and turned it on. Powered it off with the hardware button and pluged the keyboard in. Searched the options for any signs of a keyboard that is connected but just not activated.
I also tried different builts (there was an auto update). None seems to work.
This box is a pain in the a%&. I seem to have a very *****y ouya. XBMC is not working quite well too.

Using a hub

No. I tried using a hub as a fix but it didn't help.
I'm absolutely clueless.
I guess installing a custom rom or a bootloader is no option without a working keyboard. The OUYA seems to be a complete waste of time and money so far. Only crap games, worst "store"/rom ever, loud fan, controller with input lag and XBMC not working properly. Unfortunately people seem to have recognized how bad this thing is, where I live the resell value is free falling.

No and no .
Ouya and keyboard are acting like there is no connection at all. But when I plug in any pc mouse everything is working fine.

I am at a loss as well. I'm not sure how attached you are to your current install on the OUYA but you could try to sideload the latest OTA. I am pretty sure you can do all that without a USB keyboard attached via ADB. You could also fastboot CWM and see if it is recognized then. Just a couple shot in the dark idea but as if a mouse works, the USB port must be working.

I borrowed a logitech keyboard from a friend and it's working like a charm.
The problem seems to be "cherry only".
That sucks. Now I have to buy a new keyboard for this crapcube since my friend needs his keyboard.
Thanks for the advices to everyone.

[Q] [S-Pen]App Threes! not working with S Pen

Hi,
i bought the game "Threes!" yesterday and it works fine when i use my finger to play but if i try to use the S Pen the Game does not recognize any input, it's like the S Pen digitizer is turned off.
Is there any way to fix this (besides hoping that the developer will fix it). Or does anyone know what the Problem might be, so that i could give the developer some hints as to what he has to change.
It just seems strange because this is the first app i encountered that does not work with the s pen.
edit: just tested if the gestures still work and they do so the digitizer seems to be on

Some games don't support S pen

Do you know why they dont support it?
I havent looked into Android programming and note 2 programming but it seems to me that you dont have to implement s pen support, if you would have to i think a whole lot more apps wouldnt support it.

[Q] Controller on Tab S 4.4.2 not working

Hi.
I have a problem with my Tab S 10.5. I can connect mouse or keyboard using OTG cable and it's work fine.... But when I connect my xbox 360 wired controller, it's not working. the Xbox ring is blinking yes but I can't do nothing with it.
I'm trying with GTA San Andreas and it's doing nothing...
Is someone have a solution ?
Thank you very much !

so I have been messing with trying to get the controller to work on the tab s 10.5 with no luck. here's what I found as a solution before. found it on xda
"xbox 360 wireless success
Thought about making a new thread about this but this looks as good as place as any to post. After many many trials and tribulations I have finally got my wireless xbox 360 controller to work I'll explain how. You have to have the xbox 360 wireless dongle to usb as well as a OTG cable to get this working properly. Somebody with a wired xbox controller might be able to use this method to get that working but I haven't tested it. This was done on the sm-t700 model (Tab S 8.4 WIFI) but I'm pretty sure it will work with any samsung tab s possibly other samsung models.
First there are two options,
Non root method but no analog sticks
Root method for full controller support.
For the non root method install this app USB/BT Joystick Center 2015 https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...bjoyfree&hl=en once installed look at the upper left corner of the app and touch the IME/Off button then just enable it on next screen. After that right below that button you clicked on there is a norm/hid search option click the NORM button. At this point it should recognize the controller and put a square box in middle of your screen click on that. Now it will give you the opportunity to map the buttons click on any button then click on your controller button to map it. It gives like a keyboard layout so just pick anything it dosen't really matter. I have tested this method with Drastic Ds emulator and worked for me just no analog stick control.
Root method. Alot more complicated be forewarned. First things first root using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/gala...nfire-t2881826 after root use a program I used titanium backup pro to freeze all 5 knox apps. Now you need to flash your kernal to this permissive kernal http://forum.xda-developers.com/gala...ernel-t2914628 after this use the same app from above USB/BT Joystick Center 2015 open app, click the same IME/OFF button as in the non root method but now instead of clicking the NORM button click the one right below HID button. Now on the upper right side there is a JOY button colored Green click that 2 times until the 360 icon next to it is highlighted then click big box in middle of screen. Now same as non root method you can map your controller buttons but this time all the sticks and corresponding button letters are available just map accordingly and start playing.
I have tested this in Drastic Ds, ePSXe, and Mupen64 plus also controller works in home screen using both methods. Hopefully this helps somebody in the future, Cheers!"
after finally getting a rom that works I tried the iornman rom in the android development section. I was able to fully disable knox so the joytick center could get access to certain files. Root alone would not let this app work. Now the controller gets detected by the joytick center but when you go assign buttons to it to map the controller it still doesn't detect the buttons at least is my case. I'm using a wired controller.
also I have tried this as well.

How to connect and use an Xbox 360 controller (wired) on Android -
1. Plug USB cable of Xbox controller into Female USB port of OTG cable
2. Plug OTG cable into your device
3. That's all. It's really that simple for a wired controller.
Some games will not respond well to controller input (without the help of 3rd party apps) and this is normal. A list of known compatible games will be featured at the end of this post.
If this doesn't work -
-You may be missing the Keylayout file for USB Xbox 360 controllers. This is unusual but does occur on some devices. You can download the file here. Paste it into the directory /system/usr/Keylayout. (Will require root access).
So yea its been a pain idk if any1 has any other solutions or things we can try... also just to note I did not flash that permissive kernel he said to try since it's for the tab s 8.4 and not the 10.5 idk if I want to take the plunge and try it...

note sure if this helps but found some more info about the kernel issue but for a different device https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-4469

You might want to start smashing that "thanks" button.
I've included Microsoft X-BOX gamepad controller in-built module (untested) in my latest SkyHigh kernel release..... JUST FOR YOU (and any other who find it useful)

tried it and it detected the controller np all the controllers work except the left analog stick wont move my character it just moves a cursor like a mouse. Any ideas?
I greatly appreciate you taking the time to try and get this to work. Do you have a donation link anywhere?

No idea. Don't have controller to test.
Either kernel module doesn't support your exact controller type or you need to configure an app to map the controller properly.
This is all I can help with.

Carlinkit A1 tbox problems

Hi,
I purchased a Carlinkit cpc200 tbox November 2021 (great product) and has been working perfectly.
Until this week, when it has stopped booting up. It will get to a black screen with android in the centre, it looks like it frozen but after 30 to 60 seconds turns off and try to reboot, with the same result.
When the unit is powered up there is a solid green and red light, after 15 seconds green light starts flashing,
after 30 to 60 seconds the red light disappears and 15 seconds later green light disappears. It seems as it is
Rebooting again.
I would like some help to fix problem.
Is this a firmware problem.

Short video of what's happening with my Carlinkit A1 tbox,
Problem booting up, anyone have a fix for this issue.

Hi,
I contacted the tech support and have tried to update unit multiple times with no result. As it was working perfectly, it was great but than stopped and now they (tech support) that is a low power issue, not software issue. I've also tried in 4 different vehicles and still not booting and bought new cable (same). Looking for the cable that may be the answer but having trouble finding it.

I am having the same exact issue and getting the runaround from the seller. Anyone have any advice?

Hi, I message Carlinkit support, they still think it's a low power issue, I tried different cable with no result. finally the cable that is shown is now available which should fix problem. I'll let you know if it works. ( I've already bought other cables that don't work )

I just got another AI box from them:
MMB 11 Plus 4+64 G Multimedia Box - Carpaly Ai Box With HDMI Input
MMB Multimedia Video Box 4+64 G with Android 11.0 system ,it has useful funtions : can convert factory wired carplay to a wireless connection and wireless Android auto, and video applications such as youtube, netflix can download in Google store,Screen mirroring for HDMI connector device
carplayaibox.com
I bought this thinking it would probably be buggy and eventually would return it but totally impressed. But this works great. Seems stable so far and allows for many customizations.

The Carlinkitcarplay Box is ok, It took a little time and patience to set up, but once I did, it runs well. Connects to phone immediately once I start my truck.

When you're using the android setup, is audio streaming via Bluetooth from your phone sent to the android box then the head unit or bypassed and goes straight to the head unit like factory android auto? Just wondering how much this device compromises audio quality of it's running through multiple sources.
Also, anyone tried rooting this device? Interested in running some audio mods through it like JamesDSP etc
Cheers

I’m my GMC wired CarPlay always had better sound than though GMC Bluetooth. Now that the bt gets passed through the tbox it sounds better. I think the tbox has better bt version since that connection gets routed through wired connection to the truck and sounds as good as wired without tbox.
