Hi everyone.
I read some of 100 pages in this section, but I only find one thread with one message about the possibility of using a USB keyboard (the thread is closed!). Why the thread is closed? I don't understand what means "Documentation from Qualcomm will likely be required in order to make use of the feature".
I think the idea of using an USB Keyboard on G1 isn't so useful, but connect a digital camera such as mass storage is a great idea (or an external HD for whatching films or play songs).
What do you think about this?
Probably wrong forum, should've went under just Dream
This is the right forum because it would require serious development. I'm also interested in getting some USB host action in Android builds. This was a great feature on my old Nokia N800.
I would love to see the ability to use any form of keyboard with the G1 wired or not.
I think it require development and a development based on the specific hardware of Dream... Someone know how Qualcomm enter in this thread?
The previous post I read is here
Well, lets not just focus on keyboard usage. USB host will also let you connect things like external hard drives, usb hubs (usually powered) to your device. I think this should be looked into and not just ignored because there's a KB workaround.

Android Screencast lets you use your computer's keyboard on your device. It's still being worked on but it's a pretty awesome program that can be used on multiple OS's

Please forget the Keyboard... the focus is the possibility of connect every kind of hardware through USB port! We'll only need the right driver!
i think it has the capability but it is not wired correctly or something like that
Someone know where I can read about usb host on dream?
Well!
The thread was moved to "Dream Q&A" section...
In effect mine is a question and I'm searching an answer, but I'm searching a developer too! I posted it in these section because there someone should keep my idea and produce an application!
May be in the FAQ section is more appropriate, but i don't agree...
Hello,
any progress about it?

Hi all,
It would be nice to use the gsen of the diamond as a game controller for custom made games on the pc(like the wii).
Is this possible

interesting idea
but i don't think it ll be easy....

No I don't think it would be easy...
that's why I ask it the pro's!!!
nice idea. Bluetooth connection to the PC?
lol... just the idea of pairing a device on Bluetooth with Windows...
Can't imagine the phone side to be too hard - my first shot would probably be WLAN since that's the easiest way to get some connection working. Once you have that simply passing gsen / dpad / buttons (maybe even touchscreen input?) to the PC should be rather trivial.
The harder part is probably to write a gamepad driver for windows that interprets that input data and transforms it to DirectInput compliant information.
While I certainly know how to do the phone side - I am somewhat unsure about the PC side. The last time I did some driver coding is AGES away. I don't even know if opening a TCP/IP socket from inside a driver is possible/a good idea. Maybe one would need a daemon-like user space program to read the input from the network and feed it to the driver...
Would acualy ge a freaking awsome Ide toward an playstation 3.
And acualy a computer.

Geez I wish I had time to look into that - if their stuff was open source I am sure we could leverage about 90% of their XP driver implementation (which most likely they managed pretty well)...
do we need to remake drivers?
you can get Python (program used) for PocketPC, and it just bluetooth on to PC with NiiMe software....
testing now...
while they seem to use python on a S60 phone - this doesn't directly translate to doing the same thing on a WiMo diamond... The fact that they released their source under the GPL makes reusing their PC software a viable option though.
Speaking of GPL source - has anyone found their code available for download on their site?
Okay guys - you got me as far as installing a devel enviroment and writing a simple gsen SDK based test app now - if there's someone willing to spend some time on the PC DirectInput driver side I'm sure we can get somewhere with this...
This.Would.Be.Awesome. !!!!!!!
if this works, I gonna get a diamond other than orbit 2

nice, i didn't know that this exist. So asking here for the request whasn't as stupid as i tought!!!
+1 for up!
Hey
I'm currently working on a little client-server (TCP/IP) thingie to at least get GSensor data from the Diamond to the PC - once that is done there's still the very ugly part of writing a DirectInput driver that acts like a gamepad...
If anyone wants to take over the driver-writing part things would progress much more quickly I guess
Sadly I don't have too much spare time at the moment to spend on the matter though.
Cheers,
Alex
a gsensor keyboard emulator could control for example
FLUX the game. (3d tube flying), by senden keystrokes
to windows` keyboardhandler
whoever does figure this out will be the man. when it does happen i just hope it will do the job for the cdma version coming to telus on or around august 6th
I have a .NET client/server pair running in an WiMo6 emulator now sending what could actually be GSen data at a fairly decent rate. Not considering the GSensor it's pretty much phone independent.
And if anyone tells me how to get rid of the files VS2k5 places on my Diamond for debugging the application I'll try the same thing with a real GSensor I am just tired of hard-resetting my Diamond in order to clean up the mess done by the development environment...
Cheers,
Alex
Edit: Okay, I tested it on my diamond by simply copying over the two required files (no debugging possible though) and transferring GSen data either via ActiveSync (say Bluetooth) or WLAN works nicely. But I'm afraid it's necessary to keep the device awake to avoid lags (does the diamond reduce CPU speed on standby?).
Hello everyone I'm new here, well long time reader first post! I've recently come back from the dark side (Symbian based mobile).
Anyway on my old Sony Ericsson I had a great programme which enabled me to explore my mobile sync it with outlook etc, obviously the diamond being a smart phone it does this and some more! However I'm missing the ability to have my mobile plugged into my computer and my computer notifying me of texts etc with the ability for me to reply and send them using my computer rather than having to look at my phone! Lazy I know but still!
I've tried looking on here and on google however Diamond, Texting, windows are very broad terms so the results didn't really give anything significant! Anyone know of such a programme?
(sorry if this is in the wrong section or i've just been a noob and missed out the huge topic dedicated to this issue in another section).
Search for something called "MyMobiler". That will do that for you I believe.
Perfect!

Thanks for this just what i was looking for.
This software lets you use the keyboard on your Fuze/Touch Pro as a wireless keyboard and the touchscreen as a Touch Pad Mouse like the kind on a laptop. Unfortunately this software is not free but they do have a trial version that you can try and the only limitation is it forces you to reconnect after every 30 clicks. This program can use either WIFI or Bluetooth to connect to your computer and pretty much lets you do anything from controlling Vista Media Center and Winamp to controlling your computer as long as you can write a script.
The software is called Salling Clicker
http://www.salling.com/
The program uses scripts that people create and post on the forum. I wrote this script a long time ago for my HTC Hermes to control my computer.
I don't know anything about programming or coding but I managed to write this script in about one night after reading a few basic tutorials and help from the forum members on Salling's forum. Since I put this together without any real knowledge this script is really basic but get the job done. If anyone wants to improve the script your welcome too, perhap you can smooth out the mouse movement and sensitivity even more.
Installation Instructions
1. Download and install the software on your PC
2. Pair up your phone with the computer by Bluetooth or use Wifi
3. Choose the correct phone from the drop down menu ( Touch Pro in this case) and it will begin to install the client software to your Phone.
4. Download my script and unrar into My Clicker Scripts located in My Documents
5. Open up the host software on your PC and drag the script called "HTC Universal Keyboard and Mouse" from the right box into the left box labeled "Items available on your handheld device".
6. Start up the program on your Fuze and establish a connection and choose the "HTC Universal Keyboard and Mouse" script to run
7.??????
8. Profit!
Thanks alot, i will definitely give this a try

Anybody have this working on a Fuze? The only thing that will open is GMouse, and the only things that work inside it is the left click and moving the cursor but that only works if the left mouse click is held down making me highlight a bunch of stuff.

one of my favorite apps.
Not that i use it alot, but yea gremote is great. Using your phone for a steering wheel for racing games works great. Or if you got a decent set of speakers, you can change the songtrack or volume from the backyard while your planting your two-lips.

Same here. I tried a Logitech wireless keyboard with touchpad that's specifically made to use with a PS3. The zoom feature was aweful when using the web browser, so I returned it.
There's a way to format the PS3's hard drive to either boot up like a normal PS3 or boot up like a Linux computer. I'm gonna check the PS3 forums to see if there's any info posted about using a WinMo device.

To use the G1 through a bluetooth connection as a touch pad mouse control for, say, a laptop or computer? I'd find this particularly useful, but don't know if it's possible.
Would it be possible to post in the correct section?
As far as i know, its not possible. (answer to your question)

the Gmote app in the market can do this over wifi -- not sure about bluetooth
Start asking your questions in the right sub-forum (Q&A) (Theme) or even in (General), or simply search.......This isn't a developmental subject, Thank you.
Final result will be a ban for you up too 3 days.
If you persist on posting in wrong forums.
Thread Trashed!!
Seeing the development of bluetooth is coming along nicely I decided to test out Teamviewer.
I was able to set up unattended connections on both my laptop and desktop.
I will keep this thread updated and probably work up a tutorial on this.
I can see this being extremely useful for students. We would no longer need to carry around laptops. ...
I am going to do some more research on screen resolution.
I remember reading a thread somewhere about installing some sort of driver to set custom resolutions.
Anyway I need to get back to homework and such.
Post if you have interest in this so I know to put forth the effort

actually a tablet can do alot a computer can do when it comes to the basics like word documents and powerpoint slides so you dont need team viewer to do all that plus team viewer only gives you 30 hours/month if your a free user
