hi everyone. I woukd love to be able to plug a usb mouse and
keyboard into my ameo at the same time. I am wondering how the ameo willdeal with 2 usb devices. I shall find a hub and try
Yes. It should do. Afterall it could be a keyboard with an integrated trackball etc. So they hub should sort it out. They are cheap anyway.
you can use a usb mouse and a BT keyboard
Used a HUB
I plugged both USB keyboard and mouse into USB hub - plugged Hub into Advantage and it worked perfectly.
So
Now I need to find extra small and cheap USB keyboard and mouse
Need them super small....and a small 2 - 1 USB hub......

Sorry how did you solve the problem with mouse pointer?
I did this in another post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298904&page=2&highlight=mouse
I uploaded a file on page "2" I think. Install this and you will have the function you need.
Remember the search button is your friend
I just did a search on AMEO forums for "Mouse" and this link came up.

Get one of those soft foldable keyboard.....that's how i do it and it only cost me $3.5 USD.......
I'm not sure what country you're in, but in the UK, ASDA (the supermarket) is selling micro hubs for about £8. Its about 1"x1" and has 4 ports. Not sure if it supports additional power (external adapter or batteries) but I think it looks well for this task.
How ?
Just curious: how can I connect an hub to Athena ? Withou passing a PC ?
Please answer.
Thanks in advance
You need the 4-1 cable available from all good HTC suppliers. You would then run the USB connector that comes with the hub to go from the hub to the 4 in 1 cable.
i.e.
USBKB-------H
```````````U`` ---------- 4 in 1 cable ------- AMEO.
USBMSE----- ``B
Excuse the `'s the forums doesnt like multiple spaces - it removes them.
Thanks
Even more curious: can you be more specific (with a file attach), please ?
And if I manage to connect an hub, can I use a card reader, an external disk , etc. ?
Thanks

Use Bluemouse for the by mouse. The Modaco one is for the USB MOUSE
if you upgrade to WM6 it has built-in drivers for the mouse pointer. Much more straightforward.

Try the Keysonic Nano - only about 20 cm long! You can get one for about 20quid with postage from Amazon.
I use a USB mouse and keyboard with a small 4-port HUB which I got from Poundland last week and they pick up and work fine, however you can also use multiple BT devices too, or any combination.

Hi,
I'm confusin about the idea that an option keyboard or mouse should be works on the ameo, i have read serveral post that the 4 and 1 cable should work fine to connect these options, even a usb memory key should work,
i have now a cable mini usb to female usb it means i can use the (charge/sync) connection for usb, but i have tried many thinks, like reset device connect keyboard e.t. none of this will work .
Does it means that only the 4 and 1 cable (from expansys) will work
USB is usb i supose.
cheers
Hi there
the reason is that you try to connect to the mini USB port and this is not supporting host functions... the 4in1 cable connects to the other connector, the one that share the USB host and Video out and there you'll have the expected USB foncionality...

download this CAB file and put to ameo and then install it and RESTART your ameo your mouse will now work and you will now see a mouse movine around for keyboard i have bought one yesterday and will use today so i hoop that it works !!
Damnit! I installed this hoping it would make Bluetooth mice work. It didn't.
WM5 really is badly implemented. I have a bluetooth mouse on my devices. It has a picture of a mouse. It clearly responds a little. WHY IS THERE NO POINTER.
ThinkOutside's driver wanted to disable built-in HID drivers. I didn't trust it. BlueMouse doesn't work and is overpriced.

Bluemouse really works!
I bought 3 BT mice before I found out the one that works, which is actually cheaper than the high end ones I bought initially Just go for the Targus AMB02 Rechargeable bluetooth notebook mouse. Those in the Nederlands can find some at the Correct Business Centre department.
thanks all, i have ordered the mouse (kijkshop) let's see what happens.
cheers

Hi, I have just got a usb host cable and I works fine for my pen drive but had a few questions to ask.
Is it possible to connect (via usb) Another android phone and access the micro sd from it to transfer files. The HD2 in question charges itself via usb host but enabling mass storage does nothing on the note.
I have tried my gigabyte wireless mouse and logitech wireless keyboard and neither worked. I have a BT keyboard so only really bothered about the mouse tbh.
I'm on the. Latest rocketrom.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

The Note has native support for HID's like keyboards and mice via both Bluetooth and USB. However, when it comes to USB, the more basic the device, basically, the closer to true plug-n-play a device is, the more likely it is to work. Also, with regard to wireless keyboards and mice, depending on the power requirements of the tranceiver, those may or may not work either.
An interesting thing to point out is that USB hub's work fine. So if you have a powered USB hub, you could theoretically plug in a USB keyboard and mouse, and an external HDD (as long as it's in a compatible format!).

Hi
Have red around somewhere: On Android 2.3.5 the USB host function worked, but it was taken away on version 2.3.6. This is for the extended USB host functions. I have an OBD-adapter to connect with my cars computer and it needs this extended function. Likewise, there are Apps that can remote control digital cameras and also see "live view" from the camera.
I have 2.3.6 and USB pens are working and my compact camera work (in PC modus), I can read and copy files. When I try my external hard drive it won't work. Haven't tried with external power to it. (An alternative could be to use an USB-hub with external power to it. Haven't tried this yet.
I have understood that when you get to version 3.1/3.2 the extended USB host functions will work again, and also the ICS version 4.0. I'm excitingly waiting for an upgrade...
I have the original USB-adapter from Samsung
Not all USB pens or hard drives will be supported, as earlier mentioned...
I've tried this with three USB keyboard so far: I plug them in to my Note via the OTG cable, the notification bar identifies them as keyboards, but I can't get any application to accept text input from them.
My latest one is a folding Geyes keyboard which is too cool to sell, so I'd really like to get it working. Any ideas on what's going wrong?
Even am facing same problem here, able to connect mouse and USB Drives. but not able to use Keyboards.
Is the same when you unplug and plug again otg cable?

Yep, same.
(And I know my new keyboard works because I'm using it to type this answer on my PC...)
The same problem here, but it works with wireless USB keyboards.
Not Bluetooth, that ones with proprietary dongles. I thought it's some sort of a power problem and the wireless dongles need less power.
So i stripped a USB extension cable, cut the power lines and inserted another usb cable. Like an Y-Adapter used for 2.5" hard drives. This additional plug was put in the Charger and it powered the keyboard. Still no luck.
The cable itself works. Tested it with a mouse, a card-reader and even a 2.5" hard disk and the Note was happy with it.
/me:
Edit: Tried to change the keyboard layout. I need qwertz, not qwerty. Not possible at all. Seems that Android 2.3.6 has no option for that. Hope ICS will do better. Even other keyboard will work, it's absolutely useless for me.
So, no one figuret out why USB keyboards don't work?
My USB Keyboard can't work too
My keyboard is samsung AA-SK0TKBD
solution is easy
You have to restart mobile. Yes, really not practical but that works.
One more thing, the captcha verification during each post is really annoying. Last my answer here.

i have never used any of this...
i just connected the usb keyboard and it detected as keyboard and works fine as well
Same here. Just plugged in a normal Dell (Logitech) USB Keyboard and it worked without have me tweak any settings. Same with a wired and wireless mouse. It just worked.
Hello Members, i'm not a developer, but have a Note GT - N7000 uk version running Gingerbread 2.3.6. , so i would very grateful for you help.
I've bought two 'USB On The Go' adapters, one was not Samsung, one is. When i plug in any adapter the phone see's it, if i plug in a mouse or keyboard, wired or wireless the phone reads it saying...keyboard connected or Mouse connected, but no mouse pointer appears, nor does the keyboard types anything.
If i plug in any USB flash drive, it is always read and i can see all the files.
What's going on? I get the feeling ther's nothing mechanically wronge with the phone, but feel it maybe a data issue.
A bluetooth keyboard or mouse has no problems working, but using a keyboard/mouse this way seem's less responsive via bluetooth, than USB wireless.
I've included a screenshot from my 'about' screen, any help would be really helpful.
Kind regards
Livio
I tried many keyboards via OTG cable. It seems the only workable is the logitech (without integrated touchpad).
I'm now using a bluetooth keyboard (chinese manufacturing) working very well, in order to leave free the mini-usb and put it on the hdmi adapter.
I can plug a USB mouse in and the pointer shows up and it works.
I've only tried 1 USB keyboard and it didn't work.
It was an old Acer (I think) and it had a lot of lights, so I'm not sure if it required too much power for the Note...
I also read that you might need to turn the phone off, plug in the keyboard and then boot the phone up with the keyboard plugged in.
But that was after I had access to the keyboard to try.
So for me, mouse works, keyboard doesn't.
I just plugged the keyboard and mouse in out of curiosity.
I have a BT mouse and I've ordered a BT keyboard and hoping that will arrive in about a week.
Thanks for the replies, i tried a few keyboards and mouse makes, and i even tried the 'switch off /switch on' method with no luck, what's strange is that it see's the items plugged in but the mouse pointer doesn't appear even though the screen kind of does a quick refresh as if the pointer was going to show.
My conclusion is that it can only be Gingerbread, i'm guessing that when the ICS update finally gets offered for download, wireless keyboards and mice will work, i've done the same as yourselves and just bought a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, both different and reputable makes so i hope that they work ok.
Regards

anybody know of a decent dock that will serve as a stand and offers a keyboard w/ trackpad? i just got my n7 and ordered one of these http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009WSCW4S/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 with it and i'm finding that the touchscreen is pretty awkward to use while it's docked. i've scoured amazon for something more suitable with no luck so i thought i'd ask the hive mind. if no such dock exists i should be able to pair a bluetooth mouse or touchpad at the same time right?
Wow... No answers? LoL!! Um... just in case others come looking, you can pair a bluetooth mouse with it. I was looking at that very keyboard dock today. I want one. LoL!! My plans was to use a USB OTG and a wired USB mouse. I may invest in a bluetooth mouse, though.
One thing I've tested before was using a USB OTG: connecting a USB Splitter to it: Then connecting a mouse and keyboard to the splitter. This works. The only issue here may be power. Sometimes the keyboard wouldn't work, or sometimes the mouse wouldn't work. Other times both work fine. I'm lucky enough to have a USB to USB cable, so I plug one end into a power source, laptop, wall adapter, etc, then the other end into one of the splitters. This will give power to the keyboard, mouse and Nexus.
