RII mini Bluetooth Keyboard w/ Touchpad

So i purchased the RII Mini BLuetooth keyboard excited to have it work with the Webtop...and alas there is an issue with the drivers. I was super excited as it has both a keyboard and a wireless touch pad and thought it would be perfect but it just aint working.
Has anyone been able to get this working? Or considered trying it?
Edit...got it paired. not drivers needed. Unlike other devices where the pairing is coded on one end, the keyboard requires that once you've inputted the desired code on you Atrix, that you put the same code in on the keyboard and press the enter button. Voila. A great product - highly recommended especially for webtop users.

goog-ed, nice looking product. glad to have a confirmed all in one solution when i need one. Thanks

I think I'm going to pull the trigger on this too... just FYI, there are two different models, one for 2.4 Ghz and one for bluetooth, and they are not well described on Amazon and the like; I'll post the appropriate links below:

You need the Bluetooth one
if it says 2.4ghz, it's the wrong one.

I've been using one of these with my HTPC setup for a while and I love it!

Can't wait!
I just ordered one, since I was seriously looking for a portable bluetooth keyboard to take around with me and use for my phone and laptop. It should be coming in today, and once I have time, I'll probably make a video on using it, just like I did one when I had the original Droid.

I'm also waiting for mine to be delivered, along with a bluetooth mouse. Should make the webtop experience much more useful.

I don't know, now I'm thinking of going this route: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0011FOOI2/ref=cm_cr_asin_lnk
The question is, do I really use webtop that much???

For your dollar, well spent
I sent an email asking the quality, more importantly will it work with the atrix? And has anyone complained about it and the atrix combo.

Thats well worth the 19$ if it works.
If they say yes I'll buy one, and let you guys know.

@swiftks
I use it quite a bit but couldnt justify over 100 bucks. Looks spify though^_^

I ordered one of these and it went back to Amazon immediately. Quality was bad..two keys didn't work; one not at all and one only if you pushed really hard. Too expensive for that kind of thing. I wound up buying the Moto keyboard and paired a Verbatim bt mouse....

i was thinking about getting one of these for usage with webtop and when traveling. I actually ordered one, but had to cancel the order when i realized i got the non bt by accident and haven't reordered yet. There is also another version on amazon thats a keyboard only thats a bit cheaper but might actually be better designed for tapping out lonf messaves.
For fhose that have one, how comfortable is it to type a message/email with the Rii? Im still not a fan of these touch only keyboards which are much slower and less ac urate than say the slide out keyboard on my old tilt.

can someone confirm that using a BT keybpard works with the Atrix and the Webtop hack. In other words, I have the webtop hack working. If I leave this by my TV can I use the BT keybaord to control the device?

has anyone tried this keyboard with the Atrix and will the mouse work?

I had the webtop hack working with a bluetooth keyboard (Motorola) and mouse (Verbatim brand). It worked fine. Since I upgraded to .83 firmware I didn't reinstall the hack since I mainly use the lapdock now.
Off topic-anybody want to buy a Motorola Bluetooth keyboard (works fine)? Since I use the lapdock (see above) I don't use it. $50 shipped in Continental USA.

Works perfectly with RII bluetooth and webtop
Yep it works perfectly. Very good keyboard. Laser pointer is a nice benefit for cats

could also try the bt ps3 logitech keyboard. i have it right now and works great!

Well here I am tyoing in this keyboard while my atrix is connected to my 52 inch plasma using the webtop hack. Its a fantastic combination that cost me $40 imstead of the $179 Motorola wamts. As soon as it saw bluetooth, the atrix went into big clock mode, which in itself is nice. Keyboard is small but useable but does take some getting used to. It has a tracball for a mouse, which works but isn't so easy to navigate. Also pairing isn't well explained. When atrix asks Dor code put 1111 THEN 1111 enter on the bt keyboard!
Whole combination is amazing. Browsing the web on the tv is an exoerience.
This atrix really is unique.
I was also able to go into the entertainment center and can go forward or back through a movie. And keep it picture in picture.
And answer a call.
Astounding!

Got mine working today, did passcode on phone then just pressed the same passcode on keyboard and enter. Worked well.
Thanks

Wow im glad I stumbled on this thread. I ordered mine last night from eBay.. Good to see it will work AFTER I make the purchase of course lol

[Q] USB Hard Drive

Is it possible to connect an external hard drive to the Touch Pro 2, even if it requires buying an extra dongle or something?

No, it is not possible.

I don't know, I wouldn't say a definate 'no', maybe more of a 'not at the moment' - but I'm afraid most probably unlikely as many experienced developers/cooks have moved from the TP2. I was very surprised that my old HTC Universal was capable of this (as in, the hardware supported it - it was working with android).

Possible? Maybe. Practical? Not likely.
Even if the hardware inside supports it then someone will have to invest the effort to make the software use that capability. That seems unlikely at this point in the product's life cycle but we can hope there's a TP2/Tilt2 zealot out there with the time and know how to accomplish a host mode driver.
So as cajunflavoredbob said (but in more words....) - nope, not possible.
If you're just trying to move data around then there are other ways to accomplish that....

So it works on the HTC Universal? What all does it entail? Do you have to do a bunch of stuff to make it work or does it just work out of the box? Also, does it work in WinMo too or just Android on the Universal?

Well what I am trying to do is find a way to play music from an external hard drive in my car. And easily take it from my car, to my motorhome when we go on a long road trip. The easiest way I can think of is to have a device like a laptop that will host the hard drive and play the music. The laptop's headphone output would then connect to my stereo's aux input. I would much rather use a phone though, so I am trying to find a phone that will do it.

Wow.... you must have one hell of a lot of music if it takes more than 16G (sdcard) to store it, but then I'm not that big of an MP3 guy. If it was me I think I'd just use a cheap netbook off craigslist powered with a small inverter, wouldn't cost a lot more than a phone and not that much bigger. Or maybe an iPod classic, they go up over 150G for a couple hundred bucks. You may want to try googling "carputer" too, might give you some ideas?

Basically, the Universal had the capability to begin with. There are no hardware drivers for the Rhodium to enable this function. This means they would need to be written from the ground up. If you know someone would could do this, then the community would be grateful, but as it stands, this isn't a function you will get from the Rhodium. As was suggested above me, an iPod classic with a 160GB hard drive is the most portable solution we could afford you.

Sony Mirrorlink Car Stereo

I have been reading about this car stereo since CES and cant wait to purchase it. Though I can't find any information on whether the Galaxy Nexus will be compatible with the app. It was announced that the SGIII would receive it but has anyone heard about the G Nex getting it? If not, hopefully the dev community will be able to port it over...Here is a link to the actual stereo...

Why not get this one...

It runs on android is btw.
Double din comes out later this year.
Sent from my Maguro

I considered that one before the Sony one was announced. I like that I would possibly be able to control Rdio on a large screen and it connect to my steering wheel controls (with an added accessory) and not have to fumble with my phone. Plus the option of my passengers being able to watch DVD's and Netflix is pretty cool.

Ya that would be nice for em. As far as the release and the features of the double din I'm not positive but its in the works. I work at a car audio shop and we had a webinar with them and said it was gonna be bahdass. Also the pioneer aporadio 2 has HDMI output and has optional MHL cable for android
... also it would be sick if it were possible to root and develop a custom from for a radio. Seems interesting not sure if source would be available though lol. I know they had updates on there sight but don't remember seeing code. They gotta give us something though
Sent from my Maguro

Ah yeah it would be amazing to have a custom rom on a car stereo.
I just need a stereo that I can control Rdio and a few other music apps from so I can get over not needing/wanting the pogo car dock...

Not sure about the Sony you are talking about since the company I work for doesn't carry it but anything with Bluetooth a2dp is the way to go as far as android goes the USB interface sucks for android devices reads ringtones and pretty much every audio file there is as well as shows every folder you have. Not to mention I can't connect to a single deck through USB because of mtp . So yeah. I would highly recconend actually testing the head unit you are interested in and make sure it works the way you want it to because car audio is pretty depressing when it comes to android compatability
Sent from my Maguro

Awesome. Thanks for the heads up. I will wait for a local car audio store here in Houston to have one on display first.

Ya that's definitely the way to go about it. like I said car audio hasn't shown android no love... everything is made for apple -.-

Awesome, Houston here too. I have been looking for more info on Mirrorlink as well. I started this thread trying to gather some, but not much headway has been made. I cancelled my EVO 4G LTE because it was not advertised with Mirrorlink compatibility. Waiting for Sprint to get the SIII next month hopefully.
http://www.mp3car.com/android-table...ink-xav601bt-701hd-android-ish-head-unit.html

I am very interested in this myself and since Nokia is the most supported brand I am hoping that we will see some Windows Phone compatibility in the near future. I did think it was pretty funny that all the phones supported except one were Symbian though, I thought Symbian was on the outs.

FYI the XAV-601BT is out now.

But nobody reviewed that device yet

Has anyone tried pairing a mirrorlink enabled phone to the head unit and test it out? Im planning to buy this head unit in the next quarter so i'd like some advices.

HI, just as an alternative, i bought the Alpine ICS X8 with mirror link, as yet it doesnt support my galaxy s3...

The Sony XAV-601BT just received a firmware update (get it at the Sony support site) that adds support for the Galaxy S3. I can't tell you much about it as I have the Nexus. Hopefully some ROM devs start to incorporate MirrorLink into their OS builds. From what I read in another thread, it isn't as easy as just getting the APK from the S3.

[Q] Anyone try Mirrorlink or Appradio 2?

I was looking to see if there was compatability with either AppRadio 2 or Mirrorlink for this phone. I haven't been able to find any info yet. I'm hoping someone here might have an idea, or have tried it. I keep coming across Drive Link for the SIII, but nothing for the Note II.

Kind of wanted to do a bump/update. I have installed Samsung's Drivelink on my Note2, and it seems to work just fine. I haven't tried connecting it up to a Mirrorlink device yet. Has anyone tried, or had any success?
For anyone looking for Drivelink there is a link here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34024429&postcount=353

BUMP. Looking to invest in a good head unit for my GN2. I've been holding onto my iPhone 4S and using it as an ipod in my car since my car has decent ipod integration but no Android integration. I've seen some videos of people getting Appradio 2 working with the GS3, so I presume the GN2 shouldn't be a problem. But just want to make sure as BestBuy's website shows a review of someone complaining that AppRadio2 does not work with the GN2.

Trying to connect from 1 S3 to 2 bluetooth speakers

I've done a search on these boards as well as web searches. Thought maybe you all could help me out here.
This isn't necessarily only S3 related, but since I'm connecting my S3 I figured this might be the right place to post my question.
I am using an S3 stock android 4.3 -Sprint (I know, I know... haven't rooted) and have purchased a Harman Kardon Onyx Bluetooth speaker. I'm extremely impressed with the sound of the speaker and want to get a second one, however I don't know if there is a way to send Bluetooth signal from one audio source (my S3) to two Bluetooth speakers at once. Not necessarily looking to get 'stereo' sound, but the ability to play the same audio in 2 rooms or on 2 speakers at the same time would be great.
Anyway, the only impractical solution I found is for the Note3 - basically you need 2 Note3's and then sync them to each other via an app and send each to one of the 2 speakers streaming the same audio. Not really what I was looking for...and I don't own a Note3, let alone 2 of them.
I do have a Gal Tab2 and Gal Tab 7510, but I'd like to be able to send from my handset if possible.
Any ideas? Maybe an app? Even creative ideas like a separate unit that will take the Bluetooth signal and split it to 2? Not ideal unless it's a small battery powered unit, but worth a shot. I'm open to ideas...
Thanks in advance!
Rick
