Hi
Since Tab 10.1 can act as USB Host.
do you think Tab 10.1 Wifi Only will support connecting 3G USB Modem (Dongle)?
in this case you can use 3G when you want with your Wifi tab.
You can use your Smartphone and grant tethering/hotspot access, don't forget that ;]

While possible, it's highly unlikely. It would require the USB modem manufacturer to write an Android specific driver, and it would assume there's enough demand for those modem companies to go down that route.
Since cell companies are eager to sell you 3G/4G editions of the tablet, there certainly won't get any encouragement from the carrier side. Since the modem companies make money when they sell more modems (embedded or standalone), they're also largely uninterested in giving people more ways to live with a single modem.
Couple that with Honeycomb being young and a bit rough, there's probably also less interest in investing in Honeycomb drivers today when a converged Ice Cream Sandwich platform is due at the end of 2011. Why bother going through 2 dev cycles?
If you want to use your USB modem with your WiFi Tab, you're far better off buying a Cradlepoint PHS-300. That will let you use your modem with a Wi-Fi hotspot. Or alternatively, visit your local carrier and see about getting yourself upgraded to one of their MiFi devices.

Android use the Linux Kernel, doesn't it mean that all of the drivers that exists in the Linux Kernel will be support in Android too?
if so, I just need to find a modem that it is supported by the linux kernel

in settings there is a tethering option, should make your note into a hotspot, then you just connect to the interwebs and go.

From searching around I believe our phone uses the 72k right. So is a open psjailbreak port doable for this phone? Why or why not? Thanks

Thanks for bringing this to my attention! I wasn't aware the recent PS3 hack was related to 72k otherwise I might have an answer for you already.
In the event that you're still around at this moment: what does the jailbreak do, exactly? Does it unlock NAND or does it give us ring 0 access?

Nevermind - I misunderstood your question. I thought you meant that this exploit somehow allowed us to access our bootloader, but CR made me realize that you just want to be able to use the Slide to exploit the PS3? Bah, sorry, not interested personally. Not sure why using a flash drive is so difficult
EDIT: if you can't use a flash drive then I'm sorry. If I had a PS3 to test this I might be bored enough to port it, but I'm not. Also, Sony already released a new mandatory firmware upgrade that defeats this exploit, so if you want to play games on PSN, you're screwed.
yea im waiting for usb to arrive, that is not my problem just thought it would be cool to be able to use my phone. as well the firmware update checks can be bypassed with a simple change of dns adress or with a proxy tool. just wondering why it could or couldnt be ported. i am new to android but love my rooted slide. would like to learn more about the community and if someone decides to port i may not be much help but would like to be involved in the process just for the learning experience

effort in > advantage out, meaning that the amount of work to port this isn't worth it to most of us just for a 'coolness' factor.
that PS3 hack is going to ruin the PS3, just wait and see. Sony won the lawsuit against the AUS companies, just a matter of time before they win against the USA companies and the bans start rolling out.
glad I sold my PS3 and gave up on games a long time ago.
The PS3 jailbreak will only support the PSP & USB flash drive and that's it. Im guessing you own one of those right?
There are custom built kernels and roms for the jailbreak already for the nexus one, milestone, dream and various other devices including a TI-84 calculator version.

I think it will. The Galaxy Nexus does support Wi-Fi Direct which is necessary for Miracast but we'll only know when the OTA update is released.

Kind of.. That does say it's Miracast. I saw on G+ where Phil from AC was going to do a review on it, but he said not to buy it yet. And these Amazon reviews agree that it's a pass. The price point is right for sure. Too bad.
http://www.amazon.com/Netgear-PTV30...dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1
Any Miracast boxes/dongles that actually functions correctly I guess would have been a better question.
I have one in hand.
It does WiDi and miracast
You flip between which you want.
I cant get the win 8 tablet to connect to the widi and none of my android 4.2 devices have the miracast functional :/
Some of its the devices fault some not.
They are saying they will update the firmware to support win 8 by the end of the year or something. not sure when android miracast stuff will be working.
*EDIT*
this amazon review
"This device says it will work with Miracast, but I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Samsung Galaxy SIII, and an Asus Nexus 7"
this isnt the fault of the PTV3000
even with android 4.2 it isnt enabled yet.
So back to the main question, does gnex with 4.2 have miracast function?

Oh well damn you know better than any of us, you must have started this thread before getting 4.2 or the ptv?. Anyways. Disappointing 4.2 Miracast feature doesn't work on the only box available with Miracast (to my knowledge).

I know that feel. They say allot of stuff they think we want to hear, maybe they PLAN on actually doing what they say, maybe they make it up 10 minutes before announcing it. I wouldn't be surprised either way. Android Update Alliance? Sure. Right. I'll hold by breathe for that one. [email protected]? The lightbulbs controlled by your phone.. I'm sure Google will be able to complete this task before seven companies on kick starter do right? That's pretty much every damn announcement from last years keynote, all just a big show that they never made good on, and never even mentioned again. Did they even release the accessory developers kit they were talking about that year? I never read anything else about it.
Oh well. Guess I'm sticking to DLNA and AirPlay.
Got the Android 4.2 factory image on my Galaxy Nexus (yakju JOP40C) and there's no Miracast option available.
I guess only the Nexus 4 is the only certified smartphone for it right now.
Hi.
Are there any news on this?
My Galaxy Nexus has Android 4.3. I just got access to a Miracast dongle (I work at an online retailer) and it doesn't work.
WiFi Direct connects to the dongle, but it lacks the Miracast support. There is no option to enable "Wireless Display".

Some of the apps used on the Note 10.1 are proprietary to Samsung so you would need a Note 1,2,3 to use them on a phone. I run a custom ROM and have none of those apps on my N1 so I can't really say what the advantage would be to being able to use them on both devices other than familiarity.

NP, I've never owned a tablet so I can't speak for that but I bought the Galaxy Note 1 on the day it was released and have been very satisfied.
If you end up going with these 2 I would think you will be as well. Also note that if you end up rooting the Note 3 you can use it as a wifi hotspot for your tablet so if you're looking to save some money you can just get the wifi version and not the LTE or 3g version.

Well if you get Samsung Galaxy phone you get function like S-beam which uses NFC to initiate connection then transfers files via WiFi direct much faster then doing Dropbox upload then download.
Also with Galaxy phone's you get S-Memo which sync's with all the Galaxy devices same like Evernote but with Note devices you get to draw or hand write memo.

Hmmm..... weird!
NFC is such common thing that I never actively looked for it in the articles, I thought it was given as how every Samsung high end devices from S3 forward got it.
Not having it on tablet would turn one of the best function of touchWiz the S-Beam totally redundant!
Some sites are saying yes and some saying no. Maybe the final product will have it?
The tablet is not out yet for reviews, so we shall see how it pans out.
I'm still on the fence between Sony Xperia Z tablet or Note 10.1, as I'm still waiting for the price of 4G model.
Many S3 users are complaining that tmobile hasnt released kitkat for the S3 while all the other carriers have. I'm one of those complainers. But why cant a dev just take a Sprint kitkat rom and mod it to allow wifi calling for the tmobile S3? Shouldnt that be easy to do?
If it was easy it would've been done already

no, WiFi calling has NEVER been ported. So the only ROMs that will have WiFi calling on them are ROMs based on a T-Mobile OS that included WiFi calling. Since every KK ROM on TMO is a port, the OS it NEEDS to be based on technically doesn't exist.

I have not. I don't have TMO (yet. Got grandfathered data on VZW which is nice. But TMO is cheaper, has perfect coverage in my area, and 3x LTE speeds. So probably gonna switch and sell my grandfathered plan AoL. First gonna try to get my number. I heard there's a way to do it with Google Voice, but that's a different topic. I just follow the VoIP developments to see how it goes. IMO every carrier should offer it. I'd love to see some ROM team geniuses get it figured out

Yeah I agree. This is the reason why I'm thinking of getting a Note 3 and selling my S3. Its just weird that tmobile wont release kitkat for the S3. Good luck with selling that grandpa plan. I know how its like being grandfathered into a plan. I was there too.
Just so you guys know, other carriers may soon get the hint and follow T-Mobiles lead on wifi calling. Sprint apparently is just now beginning to introduce it on their networks. From what I hear, its very restricted though, and is nowhere near as good as T-Mobile, but its a start!
Don't hold your breath for finding a way to port it into non Tmobile roms though. The work involved in modding many different parts of the o/s is probably much greater than anyone realizes, and without the full source code is next to impossible. It would require modding of system apps, frameworks, libs, drivers and modules, as well as the base firmware itself, most notably, the modem.

Really? Its good to hear that Sprint is including wifi calling. But I feel that the S3 wont get it in future releases based on what I read that kitkat is the last Android version for it. If by chance its included in a future release, it'll be months before it comes out. By then I'd have sold my S3.
Regarding the hard work that goes into modding a rom, I'm glad you explained it in detail. That opens up my eyes about how hard it is for a dev to invest his time and energy in modding a rom just right. I didnt know before how difficult it was. Many times we end users take devs for granted not knowing the sheer sacrifice you guys make to make us all happy. We look at you guys as wizards instead of human beings and expect you to give us what we want at the drop of a hat as if by magic, not appreciating your hard labor. For that I thank you Doc. Talk to you again.
Glad I could help!
Unless im mistaken, Sprint will be introducing their wifi calling with the S5/Note4. Not sure if the S4 will see it, bit you're right about kk being the last update for the S3.
As I understand it, they've still got a ways to go to make it as good as T-Mobiles offering, but it'll be better than not having it all!
