Bluetooth Mouse

Has anyone tried or successfully paired a bluetooth mouse with their revolution? Does it work well when using a remote application such as Teamviewer?

I'd kind of be interested in this myself, but given that BT is having issues in GB with the current ROMs, I'm guessing it's not a priority ATM.

If Best Buy carried BT mice i would be able to tell you but my search for them thus far has been major failure.

You'd have to hit the pair button under the mouse, hit the scan then pair on the phone under bluetooth settings and if they could actually see each other, then it will prompt you for a password - something like 0000 or 1234 would be the correct answer.
Saying that, even if they can't see each other, all hope is not lost yet, as the latest version of Revolt is still having some issues in the BT arena.

mind pointing out that button?
Always discoverable, apparently... and it pairs but won't go near connecting. First attempt, settings force closed. Second attempt, connecting stayed grey for a while then went back to paired but not connected in stupid colored letters. Now long press connect doesn't do jack. Open to suggestions...
ill keep fiddling around and update with any new infos...
Additional thoughts; does it need to connect or just pair to use as a pointing device? And, what would the use of a bt mouse be on a touch device? J/w...

I had a similar experience. I finally found a BT mouse at NFM, Gearhead? The mouse will pair but never connects. I do not get the enter pairing key window on my phone. The mouse pairs perfectly with the Xoom when i enter 0000 as the passkey. Looks like we need some more BT drivers.
Also, im 100% stock except for root. I'm downloading GingerVolt as we speak and flashing to see if there's any difference.

GingerVolt made no difference. Any ideas to make it compatible?

It would be epic to find one that can use both mouse buttons and actually work for remoting. even tablet style.

i have never tried it, but it sounds cool

It is interesting because android phones aren't really designed for use with a mouse (they are all touchscreen) So even if you could connect, would it really controll an android phone? Has anybody ever tried a usb mouse on an android phone?

They have one at Verizon, called a media controller that basically acts as a Bluetooth mouse. They are perfect for using your phone in a multimedia dock hooked to a TV. No getting up off the couch. To answer the OPs question, I can pair them but they do not connect and have no functionality.

Same driver?
Sounds like Im looking for the same driver. i want to connect my ps3 controller to my phone. it works great with my wifes droid x2. is there a way we can use those drivers?

Now that's odd..

Just found out that if I plug my Revo into my new laptop before powering on the damn thing refuses to boot! I can only assume the bios is set with boot from USB but I'm too lazy right now to verify. : p

The laptop won't turn on? Actually very common on Windows and you're right, it's because of the BIOS. Unless you do quite a bit of tinkering, Windows will not boot with another device plugged in to the USB.

You never heard of the "stick a cheap usb drive in the back of your friends PC and laugh as he won't be able to turn on the comp" prank?

Most laptops don't have the option to boot anything from USB which is why it doesn't boot up. Desktop computers do though because of the mouse and keyboard.

My laptop always has something connected through the USB when it boots. I have 2 external hard drives that are always connected.

You are mostly right. Most newer laptops can boot from USB if the flash drive/device is bootable and you set boot priority in bios. Otherwise Windows mounts the devices after it is booted. If you set bios for main Hard Drive to boot before USB devices then you wouldn't have to unplug your phone. But you most likely have USB set to boot before HD and it looks for the boot sector of the device.

Minidump file - anyone lend a hand reading it?

I just had a BSOD – freaked me out because I'm working on assignments at the moment and a dead PC would be disastrous.
I tried installing the debugging tool to read it but it tells me it couldn't locate the file path during installation – its sounding like its just not liking its own install exe...
I'm using Windows Vista, and I did go for the right version as far as I'm aware, so I'm not sure what's going on. I tried downloading it again etc, no luck. I'll probably spend as much time trying to sort out the debugging tool's issues as working out a solution for whatever caused the crash... so...
If someone who has the debugger installed is feeling like generating some positive karma for themselves by doing a quick read-over as to suspected problem I'd be immensely grateful (this doesn't do justice to how grateful I'd be...)
minidump is below:

Thanks again!

Use Windows 7 or XP.
Usually a normal restart works. Although, it might be a good idea to find out the reason for the BSOD.

Yeah, well aware of Vista's issues. Its been pretty much fine, until this BSOD.
Parents' PC is XP but not at home for a few weeks, and have assignments to do in that time, hence wanting to know if there's something I should be doing to stop a more catastrophic event...

Just one BSOD?
Wouldn't crap your pants over that to be honest..............

Have you installed something recently out of the ordinary?

Nope.
The reason I'm more concerned about this BSOD is that my graphic card has had a tendency to overheat if I play games and shuts itself off to prevent damamge, and even with simple things like word processing / net surfing it sits in the 70sC if I don't force the fan up to 60%.
Case cover is off to help - it started happening after coming back from holidays. Cleaned it out best I could but didn't help the overheat issue, so some mysterious thing happened to it while I was gone.
If it is the graphic card that's caused that BSOD then I need to seriously bring forward my plans to upgrade my PSU to get a newer card before it causes any significant dmage to other parts.
I was putting it off until holidays (in 3 weeks now, but been happening since Feb).

It's things like this that make me glad that I've stayed on xp for all these years. Have you tried a restore point? I think it could be your graphics card doing it when it shuts itself down.

Solution to the SD Card Problem?

I, like many others, have been looking for solutions to expand storage on the Nexus 7. Chainfire's StickMount works well with USB keys, so I thought I would try it with something more oldschool:

ROTFL...never thought i'd see a floppy connected to a nexus...i'm surprised it didn't open a space-time vortex that's sucking us all in

Is this on a stock rooted rom? I'm waiting for my otg cable. Lol a floppy can't even hold most apks

That's so retro. I love it.

OOh I know. Next you should tape it to the inside of a giant cardboard box (with cutouts for screen and floppy), lock it to terminal emulator, and you have an "old-computer" emulator

Unfortunately, we threw out all our zip drives and disks a while back. It was mentioned as an option though.
Also, we did try a usb CD-ROM drive, but that wasn't playing ball (I would guess it does not register as a mass storage device at all)
Glad people like it. Despite the fun aspect, the whole setup (minus floppy) really is a pretty usable netbook/nettop level experience.
Would love to see a pogo pin dock so I could keep it charged, it is currently balancing on the front of a Dilbert calendar!

I love the possibilities this setup prove possible, nice one
What i would love to know, would it be possible to charge the tablet at the same time. I know there is a few micro USB card readers/chargers around, but would be awesome to know if Nexus 7 allow to use both at the same time.
I read a few things about the micro usb audio out, where some people say that the Nexus 7 doesn't work as host when it comes to audio, and one of the benefits by that, is to be able to charge at the same time.
Hope someone can answer this question, cause i want the Nexus 7 to replace the screen in my car, but would love to be able to mount external UBS storage and stuff like this setup, but while charging the tablet.
Maybe someone can try to make something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p10LgZFIawo
Would love to see Nexus 7 charge while mounting external USB devices as host.

I have tried this on the Gnex before and couldn't get it to charge off a powered UB hub. Does the 7 charge, or are you battery limited?

No love w/o hub?
Hi,
I've tried the chainfires StickMount app on my (rooted) Nexus 7 with the OTG cable and couldn't get the device to "see" the storages StickMount mounted. Goes same for USB stick and for external (separately powered) USB hard drive.
So I wonder: is the USB hub essential for this setup?
The same OTG cable (eBay "brand") works just fine with any device I attach through it on my SGS III.

Back in the day we didn't have Hard Drives in our computers, you booted up the OS with one disc, and loaded and saved your programs and work with another. Kids today don't know how lucky they are, they carry around more in a TINY thumb drive than we could carry in a trunk full of Floppies

I used them, but we never owned one. Our first PC at home was the TI-99/4A in 1981, which I still have hooked up and running. The Apple II was the first PC I used, around 3rd Grade in the late 70's, though I of course had played plenty of Atari by then

Dang, I feel ancient. When I graduated from high school there was no such thing as desktop pc's and only pictures of those big computors that took up at least a whole friggin room to house them.

Stupidest Tech Questions You've Ever Been Asked.

Ok, so chances are you're on this Site a lot. If you're like me, you're the house's free tech service for everything that has a switch, cord or wire.
And we all know we've been asked some pretty stupid questions. So why not have a good laugh about it rather than strangle the person who did it?
After you're out of real ones, if you have to feel free to make them up. Just make sure they're in the field of realism.
For example: no "How do you plug the computer in?" to get the most attention. (unless of course someone actually did ask you that and by all means feel free to say it.)
I'll go first because, well no one else has a choice I'm going first.
Earlier this year my sister asked me "How do you use iTunes?" and later... "How do I sync my iPod?"
(yes I understand that doesn't really seem to be in the bounds of realism, but I'm serious! It happened!)
So go ahead, think you can beat me with a dumber family member or friend?
Edit: Also, if you happen to be knowledgeable on the forums or you've seen people post this on forums, feel free to post those too.
No names please.

its not tech question but its funny....
