Bluetooth mouse works! - Samsung Gear VR

My gear VR touchpad stopped working while I'm figuring out how to rma it, I tried to use a bluetooth mouse that I had laying around (logitech M555b). it works! left click = click, hold-click direction = swipes, and right click=back.. The only issue is that sometimes a large cursor pointer comes on the screen.. (tempted to put a black piece of tape under the mouse so that it doesn't try to move the cursor onto the screen..)

kaiser 2 major issues! (opinion)

No need to repeat the plethora of good things about the kaiser.......BUT
Here is some issues that -in my opinion- need to be fixed (feel free to add your own)
1. when you select "when device is off, lock all the buttons except power button" it doesnt disable the keyboard slide from activating/turning on the device (usually in the most inappropriate moments) like when in your pocket
2. this issue is universal among all PPC devices, and its very annoying ( oddly enough no one else seems to think so). THE TOUCH SCREEN SHOULD NOT BE ACTIVATED WHEN THE PHONE RINGS OR FROM ANY OTHER KIND OF NOTIFICATIONS!!!!!!!
Thats why we have hard buttons! Picture this scenario if you will.
When the phone rings the screen shows the caller (the touch screen is not activated) if you want to take the call/or respond to a notification you can use the "phone/green" button to take the call (touch screen is still deactivated), if you need to used the touch screen you can then press the power button to activate it......this way you are not using the touch screen with your ear or in your pocket if a call or a notification goes unanswered
BTW there is a big issue that cant be solved.I'm only posting it in case HTC is reading this THIS PHONE WAS DESIGNED FOR LEFT HANDED PEOPLE!!!!!!
to be continued.....
why do you think that it "was designed for left handed people" ?
Hi, I just go mine yesterday but I can't really understand why do you think it was designed for left handed people ?

Scroll wheel and OK button are on the left But I find it convenient because this configuration combines nicely with the right finger for seamless navigation on the device

Sorry, I'm slow. If the scroll wheel and OK buttons are on the left, and I hold the phone in my left hand (because I'm right handed and I want the stylus in my right hand) then I would use my left thumb to access the scroll wheel and OK buttons, which seems perfectly intuitive. I must be missing something.....
well nunmber 1 you might have a point it does not realy bother me tho as i always keep my ppc in a case not my pocket so have never had the keyboard open on me.
Number 2 is a feature not a promblem. personaly I love that it comes on and lights up when there is a incoming call. Esp when im in a nosiey room ect and i would not be able to hear the ringer anyways.
number 3 well I just think your way off base here. Im right handed and I always felt the old wizard/tytn where the ones that where backasswards. But then again this is coming from someone in his mid 20's who grew up with game controlers with the main movement keys on the left so it just feels right to have the kaiser setup that way also. And being able to use the stylus in my right hand while useing the main control in left feels correct.

Ok, the keyboard slide is causing a problem for me (it turned on twice in my pocket as I got on my motorcycle) Ive only had it for two days
(i guess baggy pants could solve that...but its still a flaw)
On number 2, I think you misunderstood! I'm not suggesting that the SCREEN shouldn't turn on, but I insist that the TOUCHSCREEN (the touch function) is useless and annoying if it comes on automatically when the phone rings or when a text message comes in.
In the past I tried to use "TPEnable" and "TPDisable" in order to shut off the touch function, and when I had the HTC Wizard I would just reach on top and hit the power button after I answered the call (so that the screen wasnt on while I had the phone in my ear) but now, with the relocation of the power button on the Kaiser its harder to do
As far as the "lefthanded" issue is concerned, the idea is for WM6 to be used with ONE HAND, so the "holding the stylus with my right hand argument" that many people have suggested would not be popular with the WM6 folks, since a big part of advertising their new OS was its "ONE-HANDED OPERATION"
I agree though, that if we look beyond the "one handed use", the interface is intuitive and easier to use with two hands
Well....no one can do anything about the hardware at this point but I hope someone can shed some light on the touchscreen issue
Thanks

nahhh !!
Picture the keyboard slided out already ... that's what the OP meant by -->> LEFT HANDED
I think it's only 1/2 crippled ... because at the HTC home today, you have the option to rotate the screen at 90 >> L << degree angle ... though making it more then "right-hand-do-able" in landscape games and the buttons are at my right thumb --->>>( keyboard CLOSED by the way )
it's only when the keyboard are slided out that it becomes "left handed" ...works for some due to right hand stylus
MY GRIPE is with the "VIDEO CONFERENCING" camera !!
see here:

gotta be a fix for it "SOON" down the road ??

[Q] Alternative to logitech android/ios keyboard

As per the thread title, I'm looking for an alternative to this keyboard =>
http://www.logitech.com/en-us/produc...ndroid-win8-rt
The above keyboard has been fabulous. The size/form factor has been perfect - it's effectively a slightly trimmed down - yet full size slimline keyboard.
Works great.
Now the down side.
I've gone through 2 of them in the space of 18 months! Occasionally, leave it sitting on the passenger seat in the car (in the cover) - and it takes the occasional knock when I end up having to brake very had.
This has lead to some of the keys simply not working (unless I squeeze tightly on the top right hand corner of the keyboard (Obviously an unworkable ...workaround..).
Need the very same - but more robust. Does such a thing exist?

unusable on windows tablet: touchscreen mouse mapping incorrect

I am using a Samsung TabPro S and I cannot navigate within RemixOS because the mapping of my touchscreen input to the curser within Remix is totally wrong. The mouse pointer is always some few cm away from the point where I touch the screen.
Impossible to correctly navigate.
I could use the trackpad though, but I don't want to.
I'm having the same problem...
I'm on a surface pro 4 and if I try to change orientation the screen gets confused.
Same problem on a Windows 10 Asus N550LF Touchscreen Notebook, i.e. mouse cursor basically stays where it was when I touch the screen, and just clicks. I can only use the trackpad, but then, what's the point of having the touchscreen to run android apps?
Also, when I tap and hold, mouse cursor goes into select mode or drag and drop, but with no accuracy on mapping position.
Also, trackpad scrolling (with two fingers) is jumpy, inaccurate.
jide is jeremy, ben and david: "and we're here to take it to the next level"
boys,
just try to focus on the basics first, get it done, then talk about the "next level"
same here on surface pro 4. I tried everything without success.

using usb mouse with dex

hi I have rooted my note 8 and have a custom kernel to allow me to use dex with a third party dock. everything seems to work fine I have a usb keyboard plugged in that has no problems what so ever, but the mouse on the other hand is not working.
The actual problem I have is when I plug a usb mouse in the on-screen touchpad turns off, but the mouse cursor disappears from screen and there seems to be no response from any movement or button presses.
i have looked through the settings and can't see anything that would affect it in such a way, I have tried 2 different mice and every usb port.
unfortunately I don't have another rooted device or genuine dex dock to see if either of them makes a difference.
I'd appreciate any suggestions or advice on what to try next.

Force cursor/pointer display for graphics tablet?

I bought a USB graphics tablet (Huion HS64) that's compatible with Android 6 and above. Problem is that when I connect it, there's no pointer on the phone indicating where it is I'm about to tap. Touch works perfectly fine, but the "invisible mouse" problem is annoying.
Is there any way I can display the same pointer that comes up when I connect a USB mouse to the S10? Or perhaps a similar icon or dot via overlay? I'd be fine with it always being on if that's easier than having the phone recognize the tablet as a mouse.
My device isn't rooted, but I'm not opposed to it if it solves the problem. Thanks in advance!

I think there's a misunderstanding. It's the S10 that I want the cursor on, the tablet itself doesn't have a display. I'll edit the title and desc to be more clear.
Edit - Welp, I guess I'll just edit the description
Invisible Cursor
Hi!
The same thing happens with the Samsung S7 Edge, S8 and S10+, but with the Note 9 the cursor is visible.
I tried other brands and models and the cursor is visible. (Ex. Huawei Y6 )
I hope we find a solution.

Yep. I contacted Samsung support but got the "well, we don't support graphics tablets" speech, so brick wall there. Emailed Huion and they asked me to check my OTG and pointer settings and to contact Samsung support. I just replied that I did those things and that others were having the same problem so we'll see if we get any progress on that. In the meantime we'll just have to wait until someone decides to code something up for us muggles.
Speaking of code, and I'm no expert so grain of salt and all that, I've got a few theroies:
Option 1: Force cursor visibility always
The cursor DOES pop up when a mouse is plugged in, therefore by changing some variables, we should be able to force the cursor to always be on (root likely required). I know that the phone tracks pointer location when you hover the pen over the tablet because, when plugging in both a mouse and the tablet to the phone, one can see the cursor moving. Unfortunately, the cursor only appears when the mouse is wiggled and disappears once the pen moves the cursor (so basically we get a cursor that flashes in and out really fast). On top of that, we can't click and drag while the cursor is doing the flashy thing.
Option 2: Edit device recognition
This, I imagine, would be a lot more work, but it would offer a nice quality of life feature. If we could get the phone to recognize the tablet as a connected mouse, the cursor should appear when we plug it in and disappear when disconnected. I'm not sure, however, that drawing tablets send the same type of data as mice do so the phone may not be able to interpret it regardless.
Option 3: An overlay app that tracks pointer location
While this would need to be made from scratch, I think it the most straightforward approach. An apk that puts a symbol over wherever the pointer location rests! Just enable it to draw over other apps and voila, instant cursor. This would require that the phone monitor cursor data without the stock cursor being on, though.
But yeah, until either something gets coded up, Samsung gives us an update, or Huion gets their stuff together, we're kinda stuck. If you're dead set on using the tablet regardless, the best I've been able to do is mark off the boundaries of "phone mode" with a pencil on the tablet, put a dot in the center, download a "crosshair" overlay app, and position the crosshair so that it lines up with the drawn dot on the tablet. Then you should have a point of reference for where you're about to tap! Scuffed? Absolutely. Functional? You bet.
Still haven't found the solution? The same problem occurs on Galaxy S7.

Nope, nothing so far. Huion emailed me back saying that "the problem is weird" and that they'll get back to me "once our technicians figure out the problem". So we're pretty dead in the water without a nice piece of code.
Force Cursor/ pointer display in huion hs64 on samsung phones
Im here to ask if the problem was fix regarding the cursor pointer ? Im planning to buy this huion hs64 and currently using Samsung Galaxy A50
Nope......I tried using the hs64 on my A50 and still no cursor
Hi there! Something new? For some reason Samsung S series phones have a lock. Why the Note series works perfectly.

Same, Huion H640p and a Samsung J7 Neo, No Cursor but the tablet works
Ok I know the OP was about a huion tablet, i currently have a wacom and the issue is with s10+ for some reason the tablet doesnt show up as a cursor though if I plug a mouse in it does, anyone any closer to resolve it?
I got the XP-Pen Deco Pro tablet
Actually the tablet itself ain't the problem but the device that you're using. I'm also a Samsung fanatics and sadly they are the only android device that do not support graphic features such as drawing tablet and so. However the tablet perfectly works in other android devices that has cursor enabled.
My problem on my android drawing tablet XP-Pen Deco Pro ( xp-pen.com/product/432.html ) is actually the same... cursor. As far as I know ver. 6.0 and above has cursor support in accessibility menu but the tablet isn't compatible to use as the mouse because enabling cursor from accessibility provides touchpad on the screen which is basically annoying. So if you'd like to use the drawing tablet, use it in a different device... you'll see that the problem is not the drawing tablet but the device you're using.
!!! Solution !!!

It's funny that we took it this long to figure out. Thanks to the great rookie from stack exchange,
Open Settings --> About phone/tab --> Reset --> "Settings Reset".
Let the device restart. Now, be careful. Plug in OTG dongle only first. Then plug in the tab. Don't rush.
Point the stylus in the phone area. You will see a 1mm sized circle.
If it doesn't work, do an accessibility reset. And finally, the device reset. Samsung just wanted us to buy their S6 and S4 tabs instead of graphics tab. That's probably why there is this hustle.
You are welcome.
Thank you note

Worked for S20 FE.
Would be great if it would work in dex.
