Could i have a link that shows which bluetooth dongle works for you?
Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using xda app-developers app
So I keep reading, a lot, that otg and dongle work, but then nobody shows how or what brand...
Does it work or are all of these posts saying its works just repeating what they have read?
[I really dont think people should be posting answers in an FAQ if they are just repeating others words]
I have looked and looked and I can not find anything beyond the same reply: "OTG cable and dongle"
If someone can share a link/thread that shows actual success with a Bluetooth dongle and results that would be great!
Thanks!

It doesn't work, there's no driver support in any Kf ROM for any type of Bluetooth dongle.
These posters have all read it doesn't work, they just refuse to believe it.
I have heard that people have claimed success with dongle

I said that the only way it will work is with an otg cable and a Bluetooth dongle. You still do need drivers for it to work.

People are getting confused here, and that's understandable.
Before Bluetooth was around and usable on PCs, you used to be able to buy keyboards with an adapter that would sit in the USB port. They would only work with that specific keyboard and nothing else. They were proprietary and use the standard USB drivers apparently - Which is why the guy who is using the dongle and keyboard in the video is able to do so.
Bluetooth on the other hand is totally different, and while you need the dongle, you also need the drivers. But I think we've come far enough that no one is going to write them.
Get guys.
Looking to get an mhl adapter. I've read that you can't shut off the phones screen while using the adapter. Is this true? Has anyone found a hack or app for it? Thanks guys!

Correct, I do not believe you can use MHL while the screen is off unfortunately, and I do not think there are any workarounds

That's lame. I remember using my windows mobile 6.5 phone and being able to turn off the screen while using remote desktop

Hello everyone. I was wondering if anyone has had success with the Samsung MHL adapter with any custom ROMs. I have an Android mirroring device in my car so my navigation screen shows whatever the phone shows and I couldn't get it to connect right with three different ROMs (Slimbean, LiquidJelly and Panadroid or whatever thats called). I went back to stock and it connected just fine.
If there are no ROMs that will work what is the best way to update stock ROMs using Odin? I see this page here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1968625 but I am just concerned it wont work correctly with the MHL adapter. The thing for my car cost me mucho bucks so I will sadly have to unroot and stay stock if I cant find a ROM capable of working for me.
MHL works fine for me with Slim.

CM10 Nightlies from before October 10th work fine. They broke something after that and I eventually went with a stock ROM so I could keep using my phone with my Appradio. I'm not sure if it was ever fixed. Also, the KT kernel seemed to have it broken as well. Dunno if that was ever fixed.
I'm waiting the two days for JB to be officially released, and then I don't think I'll have to worry about using a non-stock ROM.

Are you using the Samsung 11 PIN MHL adapter? It shows up on the screen but constantly cuts in and out.
And JB comes out in two days?

I'm not, I'm using a full on 11pin MHL adapter knockoff I got on eBay for $20. Haven't noticed any issues so far, granted I've also only used it for an hour or so.

I got this cheap-o MHL adapter on ebay and not to my surprise, it doesnt work. I looked into it and supposedly this would work only on stock roms? That sucks. Im on 4.2.... Is this true?

If you are root, there are some apps that you can use.

He wants USB Tethering. I have noticed that it is actually broken on a LOT of JB ROMs but nobody uses it or bothers to test it so it goes unnoticed. You might wanna try ICS.... I don't use USB Tethering but I have seen the problem across multiple devices on JB (excluding official JB of course)
Oops thats what happens when replying to a post when half asleep. I didn't think people still use usb thethering. Anyway right now best to buy a usb wireless adapter and use the modified wireless tether for root users. Unless someone else knows of a way to usb tether that works on jb.

Yep, go ICS or get a wireless adapter I think are your only choices... The wireless adapters are relatively cheap on Amazon.
Think you guys missed the government computer part. No wifi adapters...

USB Tether app
I use pdanet for my USB tethering needs. I am currently on TBGS3 5.0 (GB08) and tested it. It works flawlessly... the only thing is you may have to pay for the full functionality, depending on your needs. The app itself is not on the market, but if you google it you will get to there main cite, where you can download the app for your computer and, utilizing the push to phone function, can install the app on your phone. Good luck, hope this helped. :good:

Thanks for the suggestion but can't install the software on the computer Will just have to go back to carrying 2 computers.
I use usb tethering for my laptop all the time, running rooted gb08.
If you're getting an "account not authorized" message thats the carrier.
Hotel doesn't have wifi, you can't tether from mobile data...
I don't think you have any real options, unless you can get to a Mickey D's or something that offers wifi...
You're pretty much bumming bro.

I only meant it as a "right this minute" kind of bumming LOL
I usb to my laptop because the wireless won't connect to that computer (I've tried everything with no luck) but every other device in the house will, and my phone is the only one with tethering capability. So I hop on wifi and plug and play. Unfortunately my scenario doesn't help your situation
Sorry I couldn't have been of more use:beer:
