The double female adapter that I bought did not seem to work so I bought a miniusb to usb adapter. But mice and keyboards still does not work. There is even a setting for mouse sensitivity in the phone. How do you get it to work!?
Thanks.
Seems custom kernel is the only way
Use a bluetooth capable mouse

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

Anyone? Please Reply so that i can order
You will get 2 receivers but only one can plug into the OTG cable. Pick up either the keyboard or mouse you linked and pick up a bluetooth version of the other.

I personally use the Logitech K700 Google TV controller (keyboard + touchpad) through a USB OTG cable. Works great and the appropriate android keys are mapped correctly. I also use it as a couch controller for my PC when watching movies.
You can buy one at ebay for about 30$.
The USB ports not functioning on the Smart Dock. It seems that when I'm plugging a mouse through a OTG cable it doesn't worek as well. Any ideas?
That mouse may not be compatible with OTG devices.
Try a different mouse, like a modern Logitech USB wireless mouse (Especially with a Logitech Unifying receiver). There is no reason to use the USB Wireless Extender. Just use the USB Unifying Receiver directly to the Smart Dock.
Another member, Wolfpack612, here told me that Logitech k400 keyboard with touchpad works. So I tried the k400 and it works fine.
The same member, Wolfpack612, told me that the Logitech mouse m570 works too.
I also used Logitech LX8 Laser wireless Mouse and Logitech Wireless k320 Keyboard with the Smart Dock and works fine.
The mouse and keyboard has to be OTG compatible, rather it says it or not.
Others may have another idea and information.
Agree with JaguarXT , some mise wont work , like my Razor naga , but regular mouse will do the work , as i use logitech , mosty that dont need much power to work
Logitech M305 works fine for me

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.
Hey.
I wanted to ask, is it possible to connect a mouse to the yoga book, considering it only has a microHDMI port and microUSB, how and what, if yes, you do recommend?
Thanks,
The easiest way is to connect a bluetooth mouse. You can also connect a USB mouse using an MicroUSB OTG to USB A adapter cable, which you can find on Amazon or eBay for a few bucks. If you have the Windows version, any mouse will work. Android has basic mouse support, but fancy gaming mice with extra buttons and wheels may not be fully supported.
