Hey, Everyone,
I would like to take on a lil' pet project (but, 'could be a group effort). What I'd like to do is use my Mogul's hardware keyboard as a USB and/or bluetooth keyboard on Windows XP/Vista and *nix machines. Any ideas on where to start, or H3LL!, does anyone know of a prog already? Y'figure you can use your Titans as a webcam, modem, WiFi router, and flash drive, so why not use the keyboard?
Thanks, Everyone.

im not knocking your idea at all.
but in my opinion that would be horrible. i've never encountered a time in my life where a pc didnt have a keyboard, and as much as i love the mogul FOR it's full keyboard, it's still a noghtmare to type on it.
im actually not bad with it, if only the keys were a tad wider, so i wouldnt press two of them at the same time

I applaud your efforts, but seriously, that's just weird man.
have to admit, the only reason I would do this would be for the geek factor of it all...
and those are the reasons that I dream of installing a web server on a toaster.
I don't think I'd use the hardware keyboard any more than I'd use a web server.
have it admit, it's an intriguing idea, though... for the geek factor... to learn to do it...
thats a really good idea. i would like to see that program because im wiring a sever to all my tvs and i dont want that big keyboard in the way of things
I always seem to get mixed reviews about the idea...

Thanks. Usu ppl think it's a bad idea, but what about when ya'd like something a bit more "remote controlesque" to control your iTunes? I'd rather use my tele's keyboard, rather than walk around w/ my full sized bluetooth keyboard, y'know? Anyway, can anyone point me in the right direction? Maybe a prog already out, or a lil' tutorial on writing a prog to do this?

How about for use with a Playstation 3 system? Using the controller to type is a drag.
ive seen my brother control his mac/itunes with a nokia bluetooth enabled phone before so im sure you're not too far off
You know, if the mogul could be made as an extension to the pc, and vice-versa, it would be amazing. Most people don't really need, or know what to do with, this type of functionality. But then again, lets admit -- we are not regular people, are we? This is a great idea on the edge of pioneering a host of new posibilities of inter-device integration.
I often will watch movies, type on msn (wishing i had a webcam), etc... why not save ourselves the money to buy all this extra hardware, and look for a solution that can use the resources we already have?
Now, that being said, it is going to be very hard to program and/or find someone to program this type of functionality for us. Firstly, they must be very good at coding ppc AND pc apps. Secondly, these would be low-level functions or would require ingenious workarounds.
But, as my two cents, have you ever thought of using vnc to do what you needed? Maybe it wouldn't be as 'clean' as you might like it, but it could effectively do what you needed, and can work via wifi, bluetooth, EVDO/1X, and even USB. Beyond that, i might look at programs like WM5torage which uses the USB port to emulate a USB device (in this case a storage drive).
Good luck, and great idea!
EDIT: Try re-openning this thread in the Dev section, maybe you might get some feedback there?
You'd need a blueooth HID driver if i remember right, that'd be a decent place to start...

I'd love to use my Mogul as a bluetooth keyboard for my Asus R2H.

No, I have it already, and know from experience that it won't run on my Mogul. I'd thought it unnecessary to mention it since I'm mainly lookin' for hardware keyboard functionality, anyway.
I would consider porting over an existing solution, ie Synergy ( http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/ ).
this would be a good idea to use with a media center PC... I've been searching for a good solution to no avail (VNC isn't fast enough)
I would love to use it as a keyboard with my PS3, or 360. The PS3 would probably be easier, as I'm not sure if 360 accepts Bluetooth.

I was curious to find out if it's possible to use a bluetooth mouse from Belkin in the XDA II. What do you guys think? Useable, hackable?
You would need some software that makes a cursor, and some HID implementation, and make all this work together..
My only question is: WHY?
Why would you want such a thing?
I tried it with a MS Mouse, MDA can find it, but no connect , lack of Pin.
Mouse is a HID Device, think thinl MDA cannot connect to such devices.
I tried to use the mouse as a ramotecontrol for the PDA, but found no way.
what is HID? also what is SIP?
HID == human interface device
sip not sure i cant see anywhere in this thread where sip is written
so in what relation was it you heard sip
i mean if it was something your dentist said it would prob have a different meaning than if it was your machanic

When taking notes with the folding keyboard, it is quite an inconvenience to pick up the stylus, hop over to look up something, then go back to taking notes. a mouse next to the keyboard would make life much easier.
I also have the MS BT Mouse and would love a HID profile for the MDAII

I would want it because I have gota Bluetooth keyboard which means I can word process when out and about when needs be - but the use of a proper mouse would make this a lot easier - after all - if my hands are on the keyboard, I don't want to be constanty getting the stylus or using the buttons as I am no longer holding the device.

Can anyone tell me if this works before I jump in. I have an MDAIII and I havent' upgraded the rom at all. I have tried not alter anything that may make it worse! I use a BT keyboard and would adore a mouse too
Does enyone has patched version of thinkoutside driver ? For WM5...
I was thinking of an easier way to play games on my titan/mogul. So i thought hey, the wii remote uses blue tooth right??
Well, the phone found it, and added it. The first passcode was null. But then it asks for a secure connection from the wiimote to the phone and asks for a passcode, but null and 0000 doesn't work. Any ideas? I doubt it would be that easy to get it to work...
But how about if someone could whip up a program so we can get wiimote functionality onto the ppc platform? Wouldn't that be cool? At least better than using the keyboard for games.
Let me know what you guys think.
Did you try no passkey? Apparently from what I have read the WII does not require a passkey, to get it working in Windows you just click skip pairing, not sure if that is an option on WM5 or 6. It should be identified as an HID and I am not sure if you need drivers or not, from what I read it will work in Windows as a mouse or as a controller with drivers that others have made. Hope that helps.
Good idea!!
I'll try to see if I can't get this to work when I get home tonight.
yep i did!
From the phone, i started searching for a new device
on the wii controller, i pressed the sync button
the phone finds the "Nintendo RVL-CNT-01 "
I select it to add as a wireless input device and it asks for a passcode, i leave it blank and hit ok
The phone then says nintendo rvl-cnt-01 is trying to connect, allow? and i click yes and it asks for a passcode
And that's as far as i can get. I am wondering if the drivers on PCs are to connect it, or allow to function as whatever. I am guessing whatever because bt should connect regardless of driver support, no?
Anyhow, let me know what else you guys think we can do.
thanks for your input

anyone have any news on this front?

Tried on my TP2
Was a little bored and thought I'd Remote my Win7 Netbook with the Xperia.
Had a laugh at the expense of some of my fellow Engineers/Computer Scientists.
Some figured it instantly, some had no clue, believes it really was running Win7, some thought it was themes etc of course, and came up with smart arse ideas of what it _must_ be
Bit I found the funniest is that the damn Xperia actually has a higher resolution that the netbook I was remoting with it.
Yes, that's really how big the damned Windows Live messenger is on my laptop(netbooks) 10" screen.
Yes, I photoshop on it, although I use a mouse that's worth more than the netbook itself (touchpads too cramped)
Yes, it's running Win7 and WinXP perfectly. (Infact it's also running Mac OSX 10.5.6 and Fedora 10 also, but those two partitions aren't shown in Win7.
nice ... but things will be tiny and even using the stylus will be tricky...
I tried several RDP progs... there is also a nice one with zoom ability found here in the forums called gamma.. but it requires a server/client files and not the windows RDP.
Good to know its working on win 7

I have no idea!
I use the software with the original name 'Remote Desktop' (the flatscreen-with-satellite-dish-icon) right now. It does not allow me to type anything as soon as the connection is made. The soft keyboard as well as the fixed keyboard don't work.
The version I had before this (same software differrent version?) did allow me to type but always had the numlock on, without the option to turn it off.

Hi all,
I just had an idea: I was wondering, if it is possible to connect the X1 either by bluetooth, WLAN or USB to the PC and use the X1 keyboard as a keyboard for the PC.
I was also thinking, that the touchscreen could be used as a kind of touchpad (like on notebooks) to control the mouse pointer on a connected PC.
So I was searching the Internet if anybody wrote a software that can just do this, but had no luck. So my question is: Does anybody know a software that can just do this?
Cheers,
foo
P.S.: I know there are some remote controls for winamp & co but this is not what I'm looking for. Actually I'd like to have something like this for a much more smaller amount of money by using my xperia and a special software.

Thanks kostis60, this goes in the right direction, though it lacks the touchpad feature which I'd need really badly. This app is more like "Windows Remote Desktop" or VNC.

nueUSBkeyboard is what I use - nt bothered about track pad - I think there is something that works with this but not sure of name.
And there's a paid for prg that works over bluetooth aswell but again its name slips my mind
Check out Pebbles. It allows controlling of the PC via Touchpad and Keyboard (Hard- and Softwarekeyboard). It is for free and works via Bluetooth and Wifi.
Nice Gadget but a wireless mouse and keyboard is more convenient from my perspective.
You could also use MS Remote Desktop Client to atke remote control of your PC.
Also LogMeIn works even better.
I think he is more looking for software to make the device a mouse/keyboard, not remote desktop software. These are two very different things. +1 for nueUSBkeyboard though.

MobileSRC MobileRemote Xperia Issues
Okay, is it just me or is anybody else having the following issue with the Xperia keyboard when using MobileSRC MobileRemote..?
When I use the keyboard all of the 'Blue' characters are displayed rather than the letters. The only button that also has a 'Blue' character assigned to it which works correctly is 'Q'.
The buttons without 'Blue' characters (A, S, D, F, G, @, Z, X, C, V, RETURN, TAB, DEL) work fine.
'W' gives me ", 'E' gives me /, 'R' gives me & and so on.
Shift doesn't work either.
I've tried pressing the blue button, Sym and everything else but no change.
Any ideas?
Regards
Sonny

I have the same issue, but the developer announced a new bugfix release in the next couple of weeks also including some bugfixes for hardware keyboards.
I had tried this application before. At that time, it didn't yet work well with the X1. Now, however, it's getting really close to being fully functional.. nice!
Current issues I find annoying:
- HW keyboard support (always in FN mode)
- Touchpad can't go fullscreen (except for LMB and RMB ofc)
- Connecting it is a bit awkward (though should be full auto in retail version)
I'll soon be buying a media center with my TV. I'm hoping I can get my X1 to be the HID. Little more fixes and this app will do all I need.

I bought the application and connecting works like a charm.
As I need the touchpad functionality most of the time, I bought it even with the keyboard problem - still worth the money for me
In case I have to enter something, I switch to the software keyboard.

... but then I wounderd if there is any application for WM6.5 that could use bluetuth to control a PC keybord.
I know i could use RDP client on my phone but then I get the screen on the phone as well..
I just want to use my TP2 as a keyboard remote to a Win7 PC with wifi or bluetouth..
Is this possible, does it exist a program for this?
Look for gremote .cab or also nueUSBKeyboard.
Both of these are located in this thread under Utilities. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550973
I have tried the latter and it is what it is...just a keyboard through USB. Gremote I gave a shot...but was having trouble getting my Bluetooth to work on my PC...my issues not the program.
Touch Pro 2 as remote BT Keyboard
I saw an app (believe it or not) on the Windows Mobile Marketplace for $1.99
called MobileRemote that does exactly what you are looking for including mouse functions.
It uses BlueTooth to connect as an HID Keyboard.
It's from MobileSRC.
Cheers
You might look into GRemote, it does everything. However, just at tip, if you buy any keyboard software that uses Bluetooth, make sure you test the trial version first. I know quite a few of the mouse/keyboard programs don't work on the Rhodium because of the Widcomm Bluetooth stack used instead of the Microsoft Bluetooth stack.
Wow, Thanks everybody!!
Now I have some things to tryout in the weekend..
Cheers!
Gremote works best over WiFi. I use it daily on my media center and love it. I'm planning on buying the paid version soon.
BRETT
I love GRemote, but it's sad that the computers that I'd use them on the most (work and school PCs) don't allow me to install the necessary software!
Wow Gremote was everything I wanted!
Works great with XMBC and Aeon skin
Thanks!
Ah man..u guys suck..now I gotta try wifi with gremote
gremote is working over wifi...however I cannot use any of the menus or settings on host PC. Is this a Trial limitation or something wrong with the install?
I can open settings program from taskbar...but nothing further.
wifi on my TP2 to a Win7 x64 works fantastic.... Playing around for some hour and now a get use to use it like a normal mouse.
one thing that is anoying is that gremote on the tp2 always turn on BT,, cant find any way to disable it
I am using it to type and tether. I can feel the waves killing my brain cells but, it feels good. lol I might have to fork up the 14 bucks to pay for the full service just to get the annoying demo message to go away. now if only I could get it to work on my Xbox 360. hmmmm jk
the app rocks!
oh... but i did find one problem. when typing using hardware keyboard; I can't seem to get the touchpad to work. or any of the control buttons. "DEL, TAB, CTRL, ALT" anyone know what is up with that?
