Q. I have a samsung tablet 2 and first generation samsung galaxy s. Thank you.
A. You have the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.0 Correct? 7.0? 10.1?
I'm uncertain if you can use your Galaxy S as a Keyboard...but I believe you can use a mouse with your tablet. The Tab 2.0 has built-in Bluetooth, so it may be possible (I cannot guarantee) to connect a Bluetooth mouse to it. There are Bluetooth wireless keyboards in the market as well...
Assuming this is the same for most Android based (Ice cream Sandwich 4.0 and up) tablets, connecting a mouse to the device would configure the mouse buttons to the tablet's..."settings." What I mean is the buttons will NOT be the same as how you use it on a PC.
Examples:
- Right-Click does not bring up properties/options, but is the "Back" button
- Clicking the left-click button is like you tapping the screen
- Holding the left-click button down makes the option (Open new Tab, Save Image, etc) menu pop-up
Keep note, I do not own a Samsung Tablet, but I do own an ASUS Transformer Tablet (TF300T). I own the optional full-key keyboard attachment for it...and I was able to connect a wired & wireless mouse via USB port, and the mouse worked without issues. No drivers, nothing.
Bluetooth wireless mouse should be the same concept.
How to connect a ps3 controller to a samsung galaxy tab 10.1?
Q. I wanna use onlive to the full but i need to connect a controller, how can i do this? Btw i do not want to root my device to do this :-!
A. Simple but tricky, I need 10 point :)
1. Download Sixaxis Controller from the Android Market.
2. Now download and install SixaxisPairTool. It is a PC utility that will be used to pair the PS3 controller with your phone.
Alternatively, you can also use âMotionInJoyâ for Windows or use a utility called âsixpairâ for Linux.
3. Connect the PS3 controller to your PC with its mini-USB cable, and switch on the power with the PS button.
4. Start the SixaxisPairTool program in your PC. It will install the required drivers for the PS3 controller.
5. Turn on bluetooth on your Android phone.
6. Go to the Sixaxis Controller app in your phone and tap on the âStartâ button for bluetooth server to initiate.If you get an âError: Missing required protocolâ message, your device is not supported.
7. Now go to âSettings > Language & keyboardâ in your phone and check âSixaxis Controllerâ box.
8. If the connection is established in Sixaxis Controller app, you should now pair your controller with your Android phone.
9. Your phoneâs bluetooth address is shown at the bottom of the main Sixaxis Controller app window and will look something like 1A:3C:13:00:21:C2 â Enter this number in the âChange Master:â text box in the Sixaxis Pair Tool program in your PC and click âUpdateâ.
This process only needs to be done the first time a controller is used on a different device, so if you only use the controller on one phone, you will only need to do it once.
10. Your âCurrent Masterâ and âChange Masterâ values should be the same now. This means your PS3 controller and phone are paired!
11. On your phone, in the Sixaxis Controller app, tab the âChange Input Methodâ button and select âSixaxis Controllerâ.
12. Unplug the PS3 controller from the mini-USB cable and the blinking red lights on the controller should stop now. Now press the PS button on the controller to switch it on.
13. A single red light will stay on now and on your phone in the Sixaxis Controller app, you will see âClient connected: 1â³.
14. Thatâs it! The PS3 controller is now connected and works with your Android device!
15. To change button functions or map different keys, go to âPreferencesâ of the Sixaxis Controller app on your phone.
Enjoy ^ ^
For a high school student, should I buy a tablet or a laptop?
Q. I am a high school student. I need some sort of portable device to do my work. I can spend $500 at most $600 on this device. I'm stuck between buying a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 or a Laptop for around the same price ($500-$600). Can anyone give me advice, pros and cons of each, and/or which one will benefit me the most and why plz? All answers a really appreciated! Thanks in advance!!!
A. Tablets are capable of many
tasks that were previously only
possible with a laptop or PC. But
that doesnât necessarily mean
laptops are obsolete. There are still
limitations to what you can do with
a tablet. The obvious difference is that all
laptops have a physical keyboard.
Typing long documents is easier
and more comfortable on real keys,
rather than tapping away at a
screen for extended periods.
However, it's possible to buy
keyboards for tablets, too. You can
use a Bluetooth keyboards
such as the Asus Transformer have
an optional keyboard with a second
battery built in.
Tablets can't compete with laptops
on storage, though. Most laptops
have hard disks with capacities
around ten times larger than a
tablet's memory. With a tablet,
you'll have to be choosy about
which photos, videos, music and
documents you store locally. The
rest has to be stored online, or on
a PC or laptop.
Sometimes, tablets can be tripped
up by small things such as drop-
down boxes or other controls on
web pages which are fiddly to use
with a touch-sensitive display. In
general, some websites work better
on a laptop, such as personal
banking and online shopping, since
these sites make heavy use of
Javascript. If a website uses Flash,
a laptopâs browser wonât have any
problem displaying the content,
but youâll run into issues with an
iPad (see below). You may be
fortunate and find an app which
takes care of your banking or
shopping, but on other occasions
the only way to get something
done is to resort to a laptop.
Printing documents is easier on a
laptop too, as itâs closely tied to
the operating system and works
with a wider range of software.
Printing is still possible from a
tablet, but it isnât as easy or
versatile.
Of course, few laptops can match
the portability and long battery life
that most tablets offer. While a
laptop might be too bulky to take
on holiday, a tablet adds little
weight to your hand luggage, and is
ideal when the in-flight
entertainment isnât very good.
Ultimately, laptops and tablets are
complementary devices: it's not a
case of one or the other. Each has
its strengths and weaknesses and is
suitable for different tasks.
Manufacturers are certain to come
up with new ways to make data
even more device independent than
it currently is, with elaborate
docking stations for keyboards and
additional storage, and online
services that mean you never have
to consider which device youâll
need to carry with you. Itâs still
early days for tablets, and while
they havenât yet made laptops
redundant, this might not remain
true forever.
