[Q] Logitech Dinovo mouse fucntion - Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone have any method or idea how I would get the built in mouse to work? I guess I misread what I did read about it working, just checked again and was labeled as keyboard only. Still a cool little device to have but was hoping for the mouse function to work too :silly:
It paired perfectly though, that was pretty nifty.

Hi Spykes,
could you tell me if you paired it via BT or do you use the usb-adapter pluged in the AFTV? I'm looking for a way to pair it w/o it (I lost my usb-adapter )
Thanks for letting me know.
Frank

I couldn't get it to pair without the little dongle.
You can pick them up on ebay though

Galaxy S has touchwiz on top of it so samsung may have added that feature on top of android.

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.

For say, clicking on things while sitting on the couch and your Xoom is hooked up to your TV via HDMI.

Ahhhh I never even thought about that!
Yet another great use (if you can hook up a mouse or some other input device that is) for the Xoom!

One of the coolest things I've heard in a while. Brilliant.
If anyone does this, combined with a Bluetooth keyboard, please share.

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.

I just tried my microsoft bluetooth mouth model 5000 and it sees the mouse and it tries to pair, asks for a password, and it pairs. Problem im having is now nothing i do will allow it to connect. Still working on this though.

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

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.

Microsoft 500 BT Mouse wont work?

I got this mouse: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Microsoft+-+Bluetooth+Laptop+Mouse+5000/8512308.p?id=1186005934479&skuId=8512308&st=bluetooth%20mouse&cp=1&lp=3
Worked perfectly on my Xoom, but it isnt being detected by my GT, anyone have any luck or suggestions?
what?!?
I just ordered mine last night:O
please tell me if you can get this to work. I saw a thread on here, and someone said it worked for their tablet.
I think its an issue with the GT. I also have a bluetooth mouse that will not work. Based on the Bluetooth settings, the GT seems to think its a keyboard. Hopefully a workaround is discoverd. It would make using my keyboard dock even sweeter than it already is
my co-worker has a dell wireless bt mouse and it syncs fine with my GT even when its on the keyboard dock =\
So im guessing you have not gotten this to work?
I have that same mouse and it works fine for me..
it did not work with 3.0 but it works perfectly with 3.1

just got mine to work, had to hold down the sync button on the mouse while GT was searching, I was pressing it quickly before. Hold it down and it will work
i have the MS 5000 and it works fine here

Will any Bluetooth Mouse work?

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?

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

mouse without root?

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.

Root and Bluetooth?

I am hoping someone can answer this for me. Will the recently released root capabilities allow me to connect a Bluetooth keyboards that requires a password? This is something that the Fire TV couldn't do previously.
looks like you posted on reddit as well,

Bluetooth Keyboard with built in touchpad
I am also very interested in this....
Is it possible to get the bluetooth settings to work with my motorolla keyboard and touchpad combo (Motorolla KZ500)? I get it to pull up the settings to see the keyboard and prompt to type in numbers but it doesnt receive anything I input at this step.
I will keep trying and let OP know if I find anything, but I am not a real android dev by any stretch.
I got my Logitech PlayStation 3 Cordless MediaBoard Pro to link with a generic usb dongle. It is great because it has a mouse pad built in
Got it to Connect - But not functional
I succeeded at getting the Motorolla KZ500 keyboard & touchpad combo to connect to the Fire TV through the use of the android settings.apk and typing in the numerical prompt. - I am on the latest firmware and am rooted now, if that matters.
However, despite showing up as an input device, no keypresses or mousepad movements are registering with the device. Does anyone know what could be wrong?
When I use a USB keyboard and mouse, it has no problem registering all of that.
