Just wondering if there anything out there that would work? Is there drivers within Jelly bean that would allow me to do this? Any help would be appreciated.
Could you use a otg cable and a normal usb to ethernet adapter? Don't know if something like this is supported though.
But why u want something like that while u have wifi and kies air? What thinga u canot do through wifi?

I don't want to use WiFi because i don't. Simple as that.
Have anyone found something to solve this problem?
Yeah,
That would be a welcome feature if possible. Can't get wifi everywhere.
Cheers
Yea, I just tried it right now as I just received my usb-on-the-go and did not work. Its the same usb to ethernet dongle that I've used on my Transformer. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003VSTDFG)
I am hopefully getting the dock for this thing and wanted to use this as a full blown computer with ethernet. Hopefully someone can get it to work.
It might work but might have to be built right in the kernel...hmmm...looks interesting though.

My Note 2 will actually light up the USB Ethernet adapter and show a link to the network switch, but there doesn't seem to be any 'Ethernet' connection usage option with the Note 2 as of yet. I was under the impression by default Ethernet functionality was part of ice cream sandwich and jelly bean, but it appears Samsung has removed it.

My experience has been exactly the opposite. Most Android kernels (and almost all stock ones) do not come with drivers that support most Ethernet chipsets, even kernels that support OTG. While these drivers are usually easy to find in Linux source code, very few flashable kernels compile them in (It's not hard if the kernel builder chooses to include them in the build tree).
I have two inexpensive USB Ethernet dongles and have had a very hard time making either work. While waiting, I have resorted to getting a small traveller's portable Ethernet hotspot/router such as the TP-Link WR3020. That works fine and has the benefit of supporting multiple devices off one Ethernet drop without needing a switch.

There are still many hotels and offices that use wired Ethernet and don't have wifi. So if you want to replace a laptop with an N2, sometimes you need to be places where there is an Ethernet drop, but no wifi (and either your SIM card doesn't work where you are, or roaming is horrendously expensive).
If you travel frequently, it can happen often enough that you need either an Ethernet network adaptor, or a small wifi router.
Also: even if not travelling, you can't break into a wired connection quite as easily as a wireless one. Wired is often faster and certainly more secure.

I need this Ethernet-over-USB functionality. I believe it is called CDC-ECM. When I have built a Linux kernel in the past it was included with option "Multi-purpose USB Networking Framework"
Does anyone know of a kernel for Note2 (N7100) that supports this?

I asked the same question. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2115186&highlight=ethernet
And no one answered. I need this functionality too. It seems nobody can help.
It`s only way to ask ROM builder to add these features to their products, i think.
up for this thread.. i need this functionality also
To confirm the above:
Yearsterday I received USB to RJ45 LAN Ethernet HUB internet Adapter (ebay.com/itm/USB-to-RJ45-LAN-Ethernet-HUB-internet-Adapter-for-google-Android-Tablet-pad-Tab-/250894821624)
It does not work with my Note 2 (GT-N7100, Omega v12 - XXDMB2), although it works great with ASUS PadFone2 and with desktop (windows7 64).
I don't understand peoples who make things more complicated that can be...when u can find so many small wifi router even with mobile battery.in a wire LESS world u want to use meters of wires for what?it's a mobile phone not a desktop pc with so many wires.

Micro USB to Ethernet Port Adapter for Galaxy note 2
Hi folks
usb to ethernet seems to work on Android for some, I guess hardware and operating system (embedded drivers?) have to match this device
For my Asus Transformer I can use their ethernet adapter by simply plug it in.
On my Samsung Note 2 JB 4.1 nothing happens...
Would rooting help?
Anyone managed to have it work?
I know that wifi is a much easier method but it's good to know it doesn't work on this device :laugh:
Sorry for my bad english, I'll try to improve
these items works on the Transformer with JB 4.1

I don't understand people, who think: if i don't need it, nobody need it.
I bought note to use it on work. Ideally it should be used instead of a laptop.
The problem is that I am not allowed, for safety reasons, to use wireless link.
And actually it interesting to make it work.
But thanks for the tip, in other way it can be useful.

As discussed above it did not work with N2.
I think Renthal (message #8) and el56 (message #9) are right.
We need kernel for Note2 (N7100) that supports this feature.
But still nobody has found the ROM or Kernel for GT-N7100, which correctly work with USB Ethernet adapter.
Only root will not help.
I have a second device, a Nexus 7, which (unlike my N2) is rooted. The stock kernel in the Nexus 7 does not support Ethernet-over-USB, and many third-party kernels also do not. However, I did find one kernel -- "Bricked" -- that did. Since installing that kernel, that device now works very well over wired using a $2 OTG cable and a $4 USB Ethernet adaptor (both bought on eBay)
(That setup actually worked in a real-world situation - a hotel in Beijing, that has only wired Internet - in which a Wifi Ethernet router didn't work because of post-connection login requirements.)
This experiences confirms the contention that the drivers for Ethernet-over USB are *available* for Android kernels, but that stock kernels (and most auxilliary ones) have chosen not to implement them. The answer for Note 2 users is to convince Samsung (or, more likely, custom kernel builders) to enable Ethernet drivers that already exist.

I remember seeing patches for Honeycomb stock kernels for numerous devices that add alot of drivers. It maybe feasible to compile the kernel modules and insmod them, if we have kernel sources. Do we have them? Hellllllooooo?!
And I'd like to have this functionality. To all people wondering why one would need to use such *cough* ancient *cough* technology as wires:
At my workplace there is no 3G coverage (hell, it struggles to connect to EDGE, falling back to GPRS, voice calls also suck), and we're not allowed to use any kind of WiFi or Bluetooth or any other radio, including wireless mouse/keyboards (corporate industrial network sucks all the channels, anyway), but we're supplied with wired, unfiltered network going straight to internet, just for sake of having internet on our devices (my work consists of cycles 1-2 hours of intense coding, and 1-2 hours of empty waiting for tests), so we won't get bored to death. So.... I want my ethernet dongle working! http://freeware.info.pl/software.html
Yeah, I really need that feature too.
I have 2 young daugthers and my wife doesn't want to hear about wifi or 3G at home, cause of health concerns.
And in addition, I work in a company where wireless connections are not allowed for security reasons.
So Ethernet connection through USB adaptateur is almost the only option for me.
But isn't it possible to install drivers on an androids smartphone, as we usually do on PC ?

Hey guys, I am interested in getting HDMI out to work, I bought a generic mhl USB to HDMI cable, I am on TLS 10/15 4.1.2 rom (cm10) and I have a 55" led 3d lg smart TV.. I connect everything accordingly, main to phone - power to mini USB input on mhl, and out to HDMI on TV, change to the proper input on television and I get nothing, but occasionally my phone goes into dock(clock) mode....? No visual output on TV ever tho... oh and my phone charges as well.... does anyone out there use HDMI out? Is there something that I am missing, setting , apps, option in ROM?.... thanks in advance.

Most likely its the adapter. I bought the Samsung branded adapter and it was a POS. A lot of he adapters are finicky. Id suggest ordering a different adapter and if that doesn't work you can rule it out, return it, and look elsewhere for problems.
I've had great success with this one. It's got an extra long cord which is nice also.

Cm10 October 12th 4.1.2 build by last sidekick... apparently I've found that others on cm10 are reporting no HDMI connectivity as well... so I guess ATM I'll have to wait.. my cable seems to be of high quality and advert said that it was compatible with our phone.

I turned it on using ROM Toolbox build.prop editor: add an entry with property name "ro.hdmi.enable" and set the property value to "true", reboot, and it works. I copied this setting from a flashable zip from another forum.
But both on CM10 nightly 10/17/2012, and AOKP nightly 10/15/2012, I found that after disconnecting the cable my phone often has a reboot (not exactly a Random one in this case), as if it had been destabilized, had a memory leak, or some such. So my guess is that the developers have left this setting out to avoid the issue until other issues get fixed. The video and audio quality were fine, however, so the basics are there.
Jack
Edit 10/25/2012: both current AOKP build 5 and CM10 nightlies still reboot after using HDMI in this fashion, in my experience within the first minute after detaching the micro-USB/hdmi connection (I am using the Samsung on, but the same occurred with the Menotek one) the Hercules will simply reboot. So this is an instability which occurs with both ROMs, and it also persists with the kernel from the King Kangers AT&T Thread, which otherwise works well: [Kernel]3.0.43[JellyBean]AOSP/ETC | King Kangers One | .11 |SKYROCKET Edition|
Besides making use of HDMI less useful (though I haven't seen it reboot while actually watching video that way, using Youtube or local video), it seems to betray an underlying bug in the kernel or in both ROMs.

Ahh. Gotcha.
Backup and flash a diff ROM to see.
Keep an eye on the adapter though. I had a Samsung official MHL adapter and it died on me for no reason.
I'm having some issues getting my MHL adapter to behave properly. I have my E4GT running ICS MIUI, and I also have my work phone which is a sensation 4G running stock ICS, unrooted.
I ordered 2 different types of MHL adapter, a menotek and an official Samsung, and have been trying different combinations to get it to work on my 1080p TV.
1. MHL will work with both my E4GT and my work phone is they are running Froyo, but with no gamepad compatibility this is a dealbreaker.
2. No ICS roms I have tried will mirror over MHL. Mijz goodness just shows a black screen on the TV, whereas MIUI won't even show that (but it will change to landscape and lock rotation on the phone).
3. My work phone works 100% mirroring. This isn't ideal since my wish of MHL mirroring and gamepad compatibility is for my personal phone with all of my games on it.
4. Any combination of connecting the MHL power, HDMI cable, or connecting to the phone (Since I read the order *might* have an effect) is fruitless when running ICS builds of Mijz goodness, Viper, Recalked, or MIUI, on both adapters.
5. Searching the forums is fruitless, since most threads point back to threads with people either saying it should work out of the box, or no, it will never work since the source code for mirroring isn't released yet.
6. Both adapters are verified working with my work phone.
So the question is, what am I doing wrong? I noticed an HDMI mirroring notification comes up on my Sensation when mirroring, but nothing comes up on my personal phone. Is it missing a key program?
sounds wierd.. to answer some of your questions.. mhl support doesnt work with any aosp ics or jb rom that im aware of.. only tw based roms.. i havent had any issues with any tw based ics rom. i usually have hdmi to the adapter, then plug power to the adapter, then plug into the phone.

Well, I went back to the stock rom and sure enough MHL works. I haven't had luck with any other rom so far, even TW based roms.
It could be my TV, adapter, or any combination of things. I know stock works and I'm happy.

stock 4.0.4. I needed it to be ICS for gamepad compatibility. I flashed a couple of kernels and MHL mirroring is not kernel dependant, unlike when HDMI mirroring was implemented on EVO 4g.

Thanks for your response. I'm also on stock 4.0.4 (FI27), but unable to get MHL working. I posted about it here.. Which adapter are you using? I don't really need it, but it's not the first time I've made a foolish purchase. Maybe I'll get another one.

I just tested it on my menotek adapter. It doesn't work, but it does with the OEM samsung adapter. They're $9 now.
The more recent versions of touchwiz broke compatibility with the Menotek adapters.
You might be able to get them to work in DVI mode, but they fail HDMI initialization.

That's a great price. Any chance you have a link? My search finds them for $12+.
I'm also finding this one at Monoprice, which seems like a decent price ($10.20).
Menotek works with FK23.
I recently purchased a USB DAC/amplifier combo to use with my high end IEMs on the go, as well as my sennheiser HD650s at home. They sound/work great with my nexus 7 (cyanogen mod 4.3) with just the stock kernel (faux's kernel works also)
However, i cannot find a kernel for my trust old Gnex (gonna use as a mobile digital audio soruce, the amp dac/amp is tiiiiiinnny but the tablet is so big its just not portable, and my Moto X doesnt support USB audio and has no custom kernels, for the first time I am wishing i had gotten an s4 as even the stock kernel supports USB audio.
So far i have tried: Faux123,
Franco.Kernel,
Glados 2.3 (downgraded to 4.2.2 just to try, and even after loading the modules, nothing..)
and finally stock CM.
None of these even came close to seeming it was registering at the least, much less delivering auditory bliss.
If i need to compile my own kernel and just add in USB audio support, I would love to learn,
ideally though, I would just love to find a kernel that meets my need, rather than having to create one.
Thanks in advance,
J.P.
First off, HD650s rock. Nice choice. Also what DAC/amp?
Anyways.
I somehow recall something about how the kernel version the GNex is on (as opposed to the 3.4 kernels a Nexus 7 totes) does not have any USB audio support. I might be wrong.
Android just rarely caters to the audiophiles, sadly.

I add my question!
Me too try to use my Gnex with the Fiio E18, an USB DAC/AMP that seems to work with many Android device.
When I try to connect the DAC, it seems to be recognized (a red led becomes pink, wich means that the DAC is "connected" somehow), but no sound comes out.
So the question is: the problem is software or is also from the Gnex hardware?
On a thread on head-fi, James (a Fiio employee) says that is a hardware limitation...
But I know that the Gnex can work with pendrive and an OTG cable (I've got mine and it works!), so on the hardware side is this not enough?
And new Android KK 4.4: how it is regarding USB Audio?
Now it's been almost a month after the release of the third build(opp3) of O preview! Since google poured a great effort for their 3rd build, it's way much more stable than its 2nd build.
I'm pretty sure some of you guys are using this as a daily driver, but I can't because Nexum AQUA isn't working properly on this build.
Since Google tried to improve the audio quality, I think it caused the problem with some driver changes or etc. But before I take it seriously, I'm wondering if it's only me having trouble with external DAC. Also, I thought it can be also a problem of kernel for using OTG since the DAC working via OTG.
So, let me know if there's someone having similar problem of OTG or USB DAC. Anyone else? :crying:
