Awesome. In preparation for a new series of presentation that I need to run within our company, I discovered that the Logitech Presenter works flawlessly when stuck in the USB port of the HTC 4in1 cable.
When I was still using AP3, my MS Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000 worked perfectly, even via Bluetooth (without the 4-in-1 cable and without the dongle), as long as I also installed Teksoft Bluemouse.
Now I'm using AP4 and this setup no longer works. At least not flawlessly.
The mousecursor lags: after I stop moving the mouse, the cursor keeps moving for about half a second.
This problem only occurs when i connect the mouse directly via bluetooth. When I use the dongle and the 4-in-1 cable, there's no lag at all. A regular wired mouse also works fine.
Disabling TouchFlo or killing Bluemouse doesn't remedy the situation
Any ideas?
UPDATE:
I'm back on AP3, it's just more stable than AP4.
My mouse is working great again.
WM6.0 bluetooth stack is better for me than the WM6.1 one.
why don't you just use a bluetooth mouse? it works the same as the logitech presenter (without the laser pointer) and the coverage is farther.

Coverage may be better, but useless for real presentations. The presenter lets me adjust volume, blank the screen, set a warning to wind up my presentation 5 minutes before the end etc .... for real presenters, a mouse does not suffice
good point. i stand corrected
Is there a possibility to connect a standard USB keyboard to the Xperia via a some sort of (homemade?) mini-usb to usb adapter and a 3rd party application? What about a USB mouse also?
I don't mind the small screen, but typing emails would be a lot faster with a full size keyboard. And no, I don't want those foldable keyboards like Stowaway etc.
EDIT: Found this app: http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=usbinput but will it work with the Xperia? Does Xperia have a built-in usb host?
-John
I dont think it has USB host but you could try a bluetooth keyboard.... Good luck
I use a bluetooth stowaway and it doesn't work well because the "space" key often times is too...slow. ie if i type at normal speed instead of "bob goes to school" i get "bobg oest os chool"....
Any info on BT Keyoards for Xperia?
I think it is very practical, it may be because I am a Chinese user, I used to take photographs and navigation more
I got one of these http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/keyboards-mice/8193/
A bit gimmicky, it does work but you need a flat surface to use it and typing speeds and error rates are not too good
My old HP BT keybaord did not work with the Xperia, so I got some days ago the Universal Keyboard2. It works as good as any Laptop keyboard. Taking meeting notes, revising docs or longer emails are with this BT Keyboard just esay and fast. It saves me time and the yellow pad is gone...
I believe that a BT Keyboard can help you to solve that
My apologies if this was answered before, but do the Xoom or Galaxy Tab branded bluetooth keyboards work well with the NC? My thinking is that since they're designed to work with android, they'll be much easier to pair and maximize functionality with the NC (dedicated android function keys, adapting to orientation shifts, etc). I have a Microsoft bt keyboard I've tried and it's not convenient for me. Anyone tried either of these two yet?

THIS THREAD would most likely answer your question
Thanks for the referral, and I have checked out that thread a couple of times. Unfortunately, it looks like no one there has tested a xoom or tab keyboard. Anyone able to confirm if that purchase would be worthwhile?

From another post I made:
I still have problems with bluetooth keyboards, runing nightly 126 and 131. I have a Xoom bluetooth with a modified qwerty.kl file to enable most of the android special keys to work. The three annoying issues with Xoom keyboard is that it will stop working while typing long messages, have to hit power button on it to restart; a key will stick kkkkkkkkkk; and not easy to get out of pop-up for accent keys. You do not see these problems? The best feature is that I can leave power adapter plugged in with bluetooth.
When I use my Logitech wireless usb combo keyboard and mouse I only seem to get the pop-up accent box. The negative is even with a y cable it does not seem to charge nook while in host and v-bus mode. The combination arrow and keyboard interface is really slick.
Anybody else notice these flaws with bluetooth and usb keyboards?
Edit: At this point I can not recommend the Xoom keyboard. My Logitech wireless usb combo LX 710 Keyboard and LX 7 Cordless Laser Mouse both work with transmitter plugged into male micro female usb adapter. I prefer the usb combination.
Just found this negative post about Xoom keyboard. Exact same problems that I have.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14150996&postcount=70
Edit 2: Maybe I was too harsh on the Xoom keyboard. I changed the batteries, seems better. When you long press a key is when you get accents. A feature not a flaw. Also after 30 seconds of no typing it sleeps, press key for a second to wake it back up. Another feature.
Bluetooth Mouse with Xoom or other Keyboard
Now that I changed the batteries and researched the long press and battery saver sleep feature for inaction, I have been trying to find a bluetooth mouse that seems to work well with the Xoom keyboard. Any input on this?
If you have a different bluetooth keyboard is there a bluetooth mouse happens to work well with your bluetooth keyboard?
I just tried out my logitech BT laser mouse with my logitech tablet keyboard for ipad with beautiful results. Even had a flash drive connected to my powered hub and could read it at the same time. This host mode option has made my nook a new machine. Now to get the webcam working.....

I was hoping this was true. Over in the usb host thread Moshe posted a picture of his setup. We discussed the mouse being bluetooth but found out that the logitech laser mouse is a wireless usb mouse. Still only one report from TheAmazingDave of quality concurrent use of bluetooth mouse and bluetooth keyboard. I can get them concurrently but when the keyboard kicks into sleep mode it locks up the bluetooth mouse pointer and force a hard reboot.
@ Dal and Verygreen. Do you think since the bluetooth mouse and bluetooth phone work on phone concurrently, that eventually we will be able to make them work on the nook concurrently?
Edit: I have loaded two apps Null Keyboard v2 and BlueInput. Not sure what they changed but I do not have the concurrent problem any more. The BlueInput only finds my Bluetooth mouse but does not connect. It does not find the Bluetooth Keyboard at all. The Null Keyboard v2 is suppose to hide the virtual android keyboard. This response is the first time that I have seen the Keyboard work correctly.
Spoke to soon, Xoom keyboard went to sleep and when I pressed key to wake back up, virtual keyboard showed up also.

Has anyone found a compatible bluetooth mouse? I can't find a standalone bluetooth mouse that will successfully pair with my DB (I have tried a Targus Model#: AMB04US and a Think Outside BT Mouse).
Furthermore, all posts I can find relating to the subject are for a keyboard with a built-in trackpad but I hate trackpads. I want to use a standalone bluetooth mouse and don't want to have to buy a dock (I am using the Webtop hack that bypasses the need for a dock).
Thanks in advance.
I successfully used my MS Bluetooth Mouse 5000 on the web-top. But here's the thing that might be causing your issue with the other mice: When I went to pair the mouse with the web-top it was waiting for me to enter a pairing code on the phone screen window and since i had that window behind a Firefox window and I didn't realize it the pairing process kept failing.
Logitech has a mouse out meant for android tablets. Maybe give that one a try?

Thanks for the suggestion. I get the pairing code window, but when I enter 0000, 1234, or 4321 (per Motorola Support's suggestion), they all fail. Targus support says it is because there is no PIN required. So if I enter something then delete the pin I entered (just to get the OK button to activate), it still fails.
I'm glad to hear that the MS Bluetooth Mouse 5000 works though. It appears reasonably priced online. Motorola wants me to go buy their mouse for $40+shipping. Seems a bit steep for something that clearly isn't working due to software incompatibility.
XDA Community: Please post other mice that have worked?
I wanted to close out this topic by giving others the following insight:
The MS Bluetooth 5000 mouse works flawlessly with my Droid Bionic both in standalone mode (nothing attached) and in Webtop mode (with the WebtopMod_Hack that enables you to get to webtop without a dock). I purchased it for $18 from a seller on eBay and found other sellers listing it for $20-$25.
Hope this helps future purchasers out.
Same here...
I'd also like to chime in and say the Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse 5000 works just fine.
It really irks me though, because I have an older (ironically) Bluetooth Mouse 8000 which I really liked because it had an integrated laser pointer and presentation controls on the underside of it. I could never get it to pair.
Microsoft must have made some changes in the device firmware stack because now with the 5000, I could get it to pair to my Bionic using the passkey 0000.
No matter what I tried, the 8000 would not pair.

Identical setup (stock, rooted, webtop mod), identical results! In fact the V470 has worked on DX, Xoom, and now the Bionic for me with no issues.
Same problem with microsoft notebook presenter mouse 8000
Same problem. Imposible to sync MS Mouse notebook . (Asus Transformer Prime TF201)

I have the wireless Apple Mighty Mouse that I use with my Mac and that paired up well with the phone.
I'm running the latest CM9 SELFKANG. The cursor works fine. Scrolling with the trackball is great. Clicking is fine. But it lags and locks up horribly on stock. Anyone else notice that?
Mouse Acceleration?
Do you have any mouse acceleration with the mice you have tried? I just tried to plug in a Logitech MX518 to the USB-port and i have terrible mouse acceleration (when you move the mouse slowly the mouse sensitivity is really low, but when you move the mouse fast the sensitivity is much higher).
I need to find a mouse that does not do this (or a program that will correct it).
I found a solution to this maddening issue!!!
Solution is very simple!
1) Download an app called bluetooth pairing in Play Store, its in japanese but all you need to do is click the magnifying glass icon, then click your device and hit the big blue button that comes next..
2) Disable and enable your bluetooth on the phone, the device is already paired
3) Select the device and it works perfectly.
Discovered this fix accidentally..
I use the Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000. Works awesome no need for a third party program the mouse cursor works fine and you can find tune the mouse cursor in the language and input settings of the settings menu. I really like using the scroll wheel and you can even use right click with in ES File Explorer.
I use this same mouse with my laptop.

Anyone tried a Razer Orochi mouse? That is the bluetooth mouse I want to pick up for my laptop since I hate dongles and am adding a bluetooth transmitter internally to the laptop. Would be nice to have a mouse that will work for both my laptop and for my DB with the lapdock. I know that with the lapdock most USB dongle wireless mice will work but I hate dongles and I know one day I'm going to lose the stupid thing and be SOL.
Hi all. I preordered the note 8 and here in Croatia as a gift I'm getting the dex station. So I'm thinking of buying all the dex peripherals before it arrives so I'm ready to use it when it finally does arrive. I'm going to be connecting dex to my tv so I'm going to get a wireless mouse and wireless keyboard. But my question is since both the mouse and keyboard use Bluetooth and i know Bluetooth 5.0 can connect 2 things at a time will I still be able t9 connect a 3rd device (Bluetooth earpiece because I think if someone calls me when I'm using dex it will be kinda easier to use an earpiece) or another phone to my note 8 to transfer files?
Would really appreciate any help. Thanks
Just use wireless keyboard and mouse instead of Bluetooth. There are two USB ports one for thumb drive or other usb devices and the other for mouse and keyboard...then no issue with Bluetooth.
Is there a benefit to bluetooth mouse and keyboard? Or do you have plans for both usb ports?
I am going to try an external optical drive to see if it can read disks.
Is there a mouse/keyboard combo that uses one bluetooth connection?
Tnx for your answer. I'm not really an expert in these things so I kinda overlooked the fact that I can connect the mouse wirelessly without Bluetooth. I'm getting this mouse https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Any...g=androidcentralb-20&ascsubtag=UUacUdUnU61031
And this keyboard
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00X5P8BJO/?tag=androidcentralb-20&ascsubtag=UUacUdUnU61031
Seems the keyboard has to use Bluetooth though. Have you checked if Bluetooth 5.0 really works with 2 devices at the same time on the s8/+?
I have been reading something that it doesn't because android itself doesn't support It?
Also do you know if its possible to connect an external hard disc to dex? Tnx
First of all, DeX is a brilliant device and does exactly what is supposed to do!
Second, in order to get Note8 connected to DeX you NEED to power the station ONLY with the original power unit which came with Note8! No other charger will work with DeX!
Third: in order to use an external USB stick/ HDD / SSD, you NEED to install inside the Note8 an application. This app is Total Commander (the legendary one done for Win 95 and used further even as FTP standalone on each and every Windows version). However, to get the above external device to use it, you will NEED a plugin for Total Commander - the so-called Microsoft exFAT/NTFS for USB mounter! This comes with a price and has several options, see below:
• Microsoft NTFS: $4.99
• Microsoft exFAT: $5.99 (*for non-TV devices only)
• HFS+: $4.99 (OSX format)
• FAT32: $4.99
• All file system support pack: $9.99
Gplay LINK
The above is the ONLY method to get an external device working with DeX.
Fourth: I would suggest to use a wired mouse, not a BT one! And a keyboard can also be used with Android interface (same as a windows 7 for example - is a screen keyboard).

I use a Bluetooth keyboard(logitech), Bluetooth mouse (Microsoft) and Bluetooth headphones (Marshall) with DeX and they work well, no connection issues whatsoever, so you should be able to connect more than 2 Bluetooth devices without any issues (SM-N950F)
