HP Touchpad Mouse and Keyboard Issue cant use both at same time - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I decided to make this a separate thread apart from the general questions post mainly for anyone who has a similar issue, it will be much easier to follow and ask questions, as well as update it myself when I have more data.
So to begin, I wiped my Touchpad with TPtoolbox v.40, installed CM11 4.4.4 with standard gapps and philz recovery. Everything was working great and going smooth until I tried to use a USB Logitech G11 keyboard and a wireless G700 mouse with the dongle attached to the keyboard. The touchpad will recognize the first device installed to the OTG cable but nothing else I plug into it unless the first device is removed. Let me give some examples of things I have tried.
----OTG Y cable (1 male Micro USB, 1 Female Micro USB power input, 1 Female USB) powered by PC or AC Power supply----
-TP>OTG>Keyboard>Mouse dongle = Keyboard input only
-TP>OTG>Non powered USB hub>Keyboard + Mouse = input based on first device plugged in, if both are plugged in when I plug in the hub, they keyboard always loads first but the mouse does work when keyboard is removed.
-TP>OTG>Non powered USB hub> Keyboard + wireless mini keyboard/mouse combo (Rii i8) + USB flash drive = Everything works, I can type with both the USB keyboard and the mini keyboard with functional mini mouse pad as well as access USB storage. However, when I add any type of dedicated mouse, be it my G700 or wired usb G500, neither work unless I remove the other two input devices.
Cont...

Continued from First Post
Notes: The OTG cable itself works fine using several devices, whether it be flash drives, external hdd, keyboards including a Rii i8 wireless keyboard/mouse combo (touch pad feature works as a mouse with the keyboard, probably because its considered one device.) but I cannot get it to work with a dedicated mouse in conjunction with a keyboard. If I remove the keyboard, again the mouse works fine on its own. If I have the mouse plugged in first, the mouse will work fine but the keyboard will not.
Some of you might be asking, why use a dedicated mouse if I can get the mouse pad on my mini keyboard to work? Gaming
Why not use a Bluetooth keyboard? I do not wish to purchase one and I enjoy my current keyboard
Does anyone have any ideas or a solution? Its driving me insane and I really want it to work with what I have. I even tried making a DIY OTG cable, same results haha.
Update 1: I know this combination works on other devices including Galaxy S3/4/5, and a POS tablet (Envizien or some crap), it really is slow haha but perfect for web and youtube. I figured if this same setup works on all these devices, why not my Touchpad... and here I am lol. Both mouse and keyboard are HID devices so it shouldn't be a problem. I know it has something to do with the touchpad itself, be it a settings and software hack, or I simply need to try a few different roms. I know the touchpad is capable of it, I have seen videos of it being done with what I have. That is what leads me to believe it may be ROM/kernel related.
Update 2: while creating the thread: I wiped the TP again using TPtoolbox v.41 and installed Shumash's Pacman ROM 4.4.4 hoping it was ROM related. No luck. I have attached an image that the TP does indeed recognize the keyboard if I plug it in after the Mouse but I am unable to type anything. I have set the language and default layout to be sure it didn't need to be set, again with no change. I will try an older ROM next to see if it will help.
Thanks again, cheers!

Help please
Tried 6 ROMs total with no luck.
4.3.1: Evervolv
4.4.2: Evervolv
4.4.4: CM11, EOS AIO, and 2 Pac man builds
Same symptoms with each.
Is anyone here with an HP Touchpad currently able to simultaneously use a keyboard and Mouse, wired or wireless through OTG?
Quick update: while running EV 4.3.1, I tried to test it again while at work and when I plugged the Mouse dongle into the USB hub, the mouse showed up but then wouldn't let me move it. I ordered a different OTG and USB Y Cable to better replicate what someone else was using in a youtube video. I just cant see how it works on every other device but this one though.
I really have no idea what to try next so i'm at a standstill.

Yep, just did it with my latest CM11 build. If it doesn't work for you, please provide kernel log (i.e. dmesg).

My work Pc allows me to do basically nothing but visit and post on XDA, is there a way to get the log file through the tp using terminal emulator or another means through the pc without ADB?
Thanks BTW.
Edit: was able to use Terminal Emulator and will email it to myself and upload soon. I hope its what you were looking for haha.

OK attached is the dmesg using last attempted ROM, ev_tenderloin 4.4.2

I intend to go back to your CM11 build, as It seemed to be the smoothest and most reliable of those I tried so far. Im guessing when I do, the kernel will change so my attachment may be useless, i'm not sure. Can't do it here at work though, no Novacom for TPToolbox and the SD card partition is tiny if I were to try and do it using recovery.

New Log, no fix yet.
OK, I am back on cm-11-20141125-SNAPSHOT-jcsullins-tenderloin , attached is the kernel log.

Did you plug in the keyboard and mouse before getting the log?
From that log, it doesn't look like you plugged in any OTG devices.

Added a second log:
dmesg = TP>OTG Ycable using PC usb power>Keyboard with mouse dongle plugged into the keyboard
dmesg2 = TP> OTG Y cable using AC power adapter> Unpowered USB hub> Keyboard and mouse dongle

Tried the new OTG and Y Cable seen in video that had it working. Didn't make a difference, I am guessing something is wrong with my Kernel like you mentioned. Find anything in my log that I can try and fix? @jcsullins
Thanks

I did not intend to suggest there was something wrong with the kernel.
I think the problem is you are trying to use an un-powered (or bus-powered) USB hub.
Use a (self)-powered USB hub instead.

I misunderstood, my apologies. I will look around at buying a powered USB hub. Can't seem to find any less than $20 with decent reviews, that's in Bluetooth keyboard realm.. I will look at both options I suppose. Thanks again.
Edit: I was just thinking, I had the BUS powered USB hub working with several devices at once, including the wireless mini keyboard, usb keyboard, and a USB flash drive. Wouldn't that be an indication that an Externally powered USB hub is not required? I find it strange that I can get everything to work fine except when it comes to using both a mouse and keyboard at the same time.

Use full usb keyboard

Hey everyone..
I would really love to connect a full usbkeyboard to my Magic 32A..
But then i connect my logitech G15, nothing happens..
I think it because of the need of a HID driver.. But i am not sure..
Does anyone now where i can get a HID driver for android?
//Reffer
lol. No. Just no
LMAO. FAIL.
If I remember correctly, there's a lot of posts about this on the official SDK mailinglist/forum/whatever. If you google it I'm sure you'll find something.
And shoo to the last two posters!
Hey mockillo. Thx for posting a answer i actually could use to something..
The only post i could find on SDK was this one: http://groups.google.com/group/andr...hl=en&lnk=gst&q=usb+keyboard#7397813348f7a9fa
And they say that android not support BLuetooth HID.. But nothing about normal.. I think i will try to make a topic in there too..
That's not how USB works. If you want a full keyboard you'll have to get a bluetooth keyboard & wait for the bluetooth SDK to be released (maybe rooted users can use bluetooth keyboards already?)
USB host
does anyone know if Magic hardware supports USB host? If so, it would be possible with 2.1
Just check this out: _ttp://jkontherun.com/2010/02/17/how-to-add-a-usb-keyboard-to-an-android-phone/
appearently MAKE magazine did an article about it. I say it just might work. but you may want to talk to some devs to see how to get into usb OTG mode with a mytouch.
anyone tried this?
on my last check no dev is building with USB HOST built into there roms ( things can connect to phone) unlike the normal usb slave (your phone can connect to things ) , plus if you were to use your phone as a host it would need to power the connected device (ie. Keyboard)
some good news ...
Most roms built off of CM source have a bluetooth HID stack... So like me i use a bluetooth keyboard (logitech media board for ps3) and it works great. And drains the battery no more than a bluetooth head set.

same goes to me
haha. A funny guy... lol.....
You should find driver for that keyboard... I think...

[Q] USB host, Access Android files from WebOs

Hi all,
after using the touchpad for couple of days, I sem to mis the following functions:
Access to my Android folders from WebOs, I understand that it got a WebOs, but when there is 32GB on the touchpad or 16GB for that matter a file explorer would prove handy.
The other issue I miss in both WebOs and Android is the USB host, there is a youtube video explaining that the touchpad does not have enough power to connect a USB memory or keybord or USB anything! and shows a work around, but not so practical.
The btouchpad got a 6800 mA battery, while my Galaxy S II got 1650 mA battery, yet my SGSII phone can host quite well! not to mention other cheap chinese tablets.
Is it a software issue that could be updated?
Well I'm pretty sure with the webOS file manager you can see the same internal SD as long as its not hidden. I don't know what you mean by android files.
The thing about the USB host is firstly the TouchPad doesn't have a full sized USB port so most peripherals would be impossible or impractical. That would only make sense for the producers to not give the voltage overhead to achieve some crazy mess of adapters and wires in a machine that was meant to be wholly wireless and cloud based. HP gave you a 50GB box account so you wouldn't need a USB flash drive and Bluetooth so you van get their Bluetooth keyboards and mice.

Thanks for the reply,
to browse the folders in webOS(I mean all the folders, even those created by android, downloaded in Android) it took I don't know what to call it but it is the equivelant of rooting or jil breaking.
Did not expepriment yet with USB host.
You must have been in a situation where you meet somebody somewhere has couple of gigs files in a USB memory to transfer to you, all that is around you is your phone or tablet , easiest way is to transfer it right there and then.
Not something that you wil need everyday , but very very handy to have when you need it, even cheap chinese tablets can do it, many phones can do it, Archos does it from day one. it is alot more common and main stream than the way you describe it.
thanks again for your input

Usb host mode is only available with a powered usb hub and a "Y" cable as the micro usb port on the TP does not supply enough power to use without the powered hub. For file transfers between devices I would recommend some of the excellent wifi transfer programs.
As for accessing android files within WebOS, all you need is internalz Pro file manager. WebOS does not require any sort of "Jailbreaking" to access files. Install preware on the webOS side and tweek to your hearts content.

Are you sure? Did you use this? Because it looks like this thing have 160ma battery, which is simply a joke.
OP, there is still a chance that self-powered Host is possible, but it's not guaranteed and it's not the first priority for devs.

It depends on your needs and maybe other options do the same or even better than a USB connection.
in case you need quick access to the Touchpad have a look at Airdroid or some ftp-server (e.g. swift-ftp).
It is very easy and comfortable with these apps.

hey guys! does anyone tried this functions on razr i?
theres no wifi direct option...
havent tried otg
No USB-OTG @stock. If I plug and USB stock, nothing appends

About Wi-Di, as it's an Intel Device, maybe can we hope some support on day. I don't know if the Medfield SoC is WiDi compliant.
The Lenovo K800 is WiDi, no reason that the Razr i will no be..

I've heard OTG doesn't work because the razr I as it doesn't output any power and usb devices need power, I have ordered a lead which has a separate lead to supply power to the usb device and I'll update when I receive it and have tested.

I'm currently using an powered OTG cable to connect my mouse and keyboard on my xt890.
the pen drive is not working im gonna test some mods on that,
OTG is working but only devices like mouse, keyboard, pad etc. USB drives doesn't work cause kernel has no option for that. To use OTG You need to connect devices through powered USB hub.

For WifFi Direct you can use this app : SuperBeam

I tried it but failed to connect with Galaxy Mini II.
Did you switch on your WiFi ? Even for me it works only on certain devices but most of the time I forget to turn on the WiFi.
Yes I did. :/ It fails starting to transfer file.
Hmm. That's weird. Maybe you could try their IP Address method. I'll have to get back to you later because I don't a spare android smartphone. If it works I'll give you a description of what to do. Maybe its the new upate that's causing it. You could also try an older version of the app.

I cant get it to work thats why i ask somebody to help...
need more details. you only said your mouse doesn't work and that's it. no one can help you with the itty bitty info you gave. There over 200,000 different types of mouses out there in the market and you haven't declared which one is yours.
Amora is right OwnDroid. We need more to work with.
1) make and model of the mouse?
2) are you using a USB hub?
3) did you turn on dev settings? If yes did you turn on usb0 debugging? If yes...did you accidentally plug the mouse into usb0?
4) it is a new mouse? Does it work if plugged into any other system?
5) which USB post is it plugged into (0 or 1) and have to tried switching them?
Etc.
My acer 2.4 keyboard and mouse instantly connected. My two bluetooth keyboards slow to connect but do eventually work. Have you opened the bluetooth settings?
Man, same here! My Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse don't connect, it doesn't accept input through my touch screen monitor (Dell), a USB mouse doesn't do anything (works with everything else PC-wise), and I don't even own a wired keyboard.
Another electronic device in the bucket to use for target practice!

You have to contact support if ur USB ports aren't functioning.
My Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse can pair but the mouse cursor doesn't move at all. I am connected this mouse directly to my Acer Switch Alpha 12 and I can confirm this worked under my dual boot Windows 10. Anyone have way around this?
@Yitan - please query in the Remix Os for Pc forum. This thread is in the Remix Mini forum.

Problem with OTG&USB N950F

Hi everyone
here I've got a terrible issue with my note 8 and SAMSUNG USB OTG.
When I connect my otg and a flash memory to phone, nothing happens, unless you force restart the phone while the otg is connected. After booting I can access to my flash memory but after removing the otg and reconnecting it, again nothing happens unless force restarting.
I've tried everything possible. Downgrading, upgrading, 4 files rom, pit file, rom from different zones, but still have the problem. I have no other issues regarding the USB port and charging, fast charging, connection to computer and any other stuff works fun but this OTG.
I wanted to know if anyone have any solutions for my problem or if anyone had the same issue or not.
it is also worth to mention that I have not rooted my phone due to warranty issues, and for that I haven't tested any kernels.
thanks for everyone

That isn't right... As soon as I plug in my OTG USB key it detects it, no restart required.

Nope, I have developer options enabled but debugging isn't on. never had to enable file transfer.
When I plug in the OTG device I see a usb icon in the notification panel. Swipe down and pick explore. Mind you it only opens in the stock file explorer, I did have another file explorer that picked it up too but can't think what it is and it has been lost myriad of other apps I test and play with...
Just be aware that it may take a few seconds to scan the device,depending on size, and then display the icon.

i know it sounds weird but from past experience flaky USB drives are more trouble than they are worth, from first hand experience i know patriot, corsair and sandisk work well as OTG drive
also you neglected to mention the file system the USB was formatted with, i believe only FAT, FAT32 and exFAT are supported

also possible that the phone doesn't like your OTG adapter. I bought a usb 2.0 to type C adapter which doesn't even work on the phone - when I plug it in usually the moisture sensor error comes up saying water is in the device and I should let it dry. Unplug the OTG and the error goes away.
So... I bought a USB 3.0 A to type C OTG adapter and that one works fine with everything I've tested (usb flash drives, keyboard, usb ethernet adapter, etc)
I believe the USB-C to USB-A adapter that came with the phone is actually an OTG adapter (tested xbox360 controller and keyboard)
I also believe that the note8 can host usb flash drive native (no need for OTG cable) as i have a dual head USB-C and USB-A flash drive which is recognized once the USB-C end is plugged in

Other than that pc connection seems to work and charging works fine. TIA
I'm having a similar problem. A month ago, used both OTG adapters (original from Samsung and a generic one) it detects my memory sticks as a hard-disk and was able to manage my files. But since a couple of weeks ago it does not detect them anymore. Is like it did not supply charger to them anymore. I have tried the USB debugging menu and no difference at all. Even I got back to factory reset expecting to solve the issues but nothing happened. The port as such is working perfectly because I'm able to charge through it. On the other hand, Samsung DEX is not working as well. It just charges the phone but never boot-up.
I'm just waiting for Oreo and hopes this will sort the problems out.

Seems to be a little bit dusty. Anyway, the other thing is that, when the Usb is detected it ask to choose between transfer files, images, midi device and so on, even if I choose "transfer files" mode it always get stuck as "charge connected device".
Hi i have the same problem... my note 8 can connected mith my notebook, but my otg with an usb stick cant recognize my note8. I test the same otg with usb stick on my friends phone example S8 and it detects promptly all.
I hope the fixing take not long time. I waiting for help. Greets
Well, adding one more case here, my native file manager doesn't recognize any memory connected via the original otg conector, but, using x-plore file manager, problem solved, as I use x-plore since my symbian days, I never gave this issue much importance, this problem was present also with my note 7

This. I have exactly the same experience. I bought a couple of months ago a new Note 8, and finally decided to try the OTG adapter that came in the box. Nothing worked. I tried the adapter with a friends phone and it worked like magic (USB drives, mice, keyboards, controllers, etc.).
Would really apreaciate if anyone can provide help on this issue... Cheers!
