Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 SM-T217S OTG Cable malfunction? - Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello! I purchased a OTG Cable for my Sprint Version of the Tab 3. I'm not sure if it's the tablet or my OTG Cable. I enabled Dev options and nothing in that option really helped in any way from what I can decypher. Anyone know the issue?

Nope just trying to hook up a USB Controller, Flash drive, anything USB even a keyboard just for testing. Doesn't pick up the USB at all.

The SM-T210 Model doesn't seem to have working usb otg host. I don't know your model but I think it's more or less the same. Look at the Dev forum for ketuts Blackhawk kernel and read the topic

Sick of samsung doing this crap. I guess I need to stop buying crippled devices from samsung. My galaxy s2 was that same and no NFC on Print S2 or the SM-t217s either... Last samsung for me.

damnit!!! why do they cripple these devices? Its like buying a car and then finding out that not only isn't there any AC but Ac can never be installed. Sorry if I sound cranky but I read every darn review site and not one word was said about this.

Once we get Cyanogenmod im pretty sure it will work...... and/if there is a new update...... this tab on 4.1.2 is being compared to the same tab variants 8 inch etc running 4.2.2 ......you never know it may just be the difference of firmware..

I actually wanted to write something like N00by did, but then I decided to write that bull**** If I'd have had more time I'd have even written something that developers are very shy and they refuse to work if a non-dev is around
But seriously, if you come to XDA you have to learn one thing from the beginning - NEVER ASK FOR AN ETA. And when I say never, I mean never. Not in any kind. Even questions like "why does it take so long" are understood as an ETA.
As real answer I'd say that it takes that long because we don't have many developers and a strange platform (that Marvell SoC seems to be pretty strange)

Did anyone ever get this working on the Galaxy Tab 3?

I wonder if anyone got OTG working on the Tab 3 or not. A friend of mine having the exact problem. I tried several different OTG cables. However, he is on JB stock rom tho. Not sure if that matters.
Update: Nevermind. Found out its a hardware issue. This tablet does not support OTG.

Don't b a ****... He was just asking a question, he can't help it he's a noob...

don't hate the players, hate the game

Although you're referring to the SM-T2175, oddly enough my Galaxy Tab 3 SM-T310 (not through Sprint) works perfectly fine with Samsung's "OTG" cable (EPL-AU10WEGXAR). I've even been able to hook it up to a USB hub and connect multiple USB devices to it, specifically a thumb drive. Obviously it's a different model and not quite the same, but just putting it out there in case it helps anyone.
To be sure, my Galaxy Tab 3 specs:
Model:
SM-T310
Android Version:
4.4.2
Kernel Version:
3.0.31-1984358
[email protected] #1
Build Number:
KOT49H.T310UEUCOl1
Yes, using stock ROM lol
Side note: Only thing I haven't been able to get to work yet with it is a WiFi dongle (because I wanted to use a high-range antenna with it)

USB Host does nothing? :(

So my USB host wire came today! i plugged in my flash drive and nothing... No messages no LED lights... nothing.... I tried plugging in a keyboard and nothing happen either... I am using calkulins e4gt 2.9. I tried looking in the ROM's thread with the search feature I found someone asking the same question but no replies...
Does anyone have any ideas?
who said usb host was working?
USB host support has not been included in any ROMs/kernels as of today. hopefully some devs start to take an interest (like jamcar, who is trying to get it working on his DARKSTAR rom) but DO NOT pester the devs for this tho, if you ask once and it goes ignored, leave it.

if by stock firmware you mean Android 2.3.x i dont believe so - it was only working with the initial stock firmware for the int'l version at release then for whatever reason Samsung decided to disable the feature and every update after that had it disabled. but from conversing with jamcar:

it seems much more likely that with all the buzz and releases/tune ups for ics roms, some devs might add the necessary drivers/etc to wake it up

I thought usb host would have to be enabled by the kernel not just the rom. Such as how it works on the tmobile version by flashing a custom recovery kernel. Darkstar rom might support it, but it has to be done in the kernel also, but I may be wrong.
I hate when they have a feature then take it away.... WTF is the reasoning behind it?! people would buy less Samsung laptops or something?! Arg... Now i wish i went with another brand...

i actually think its the other way around. according to jamcar, its already present in the kernel. and i think because he saw that, he thought it would already be supported in his rom when it evidently is not (dont mean to put so much pressure on him)

To shed some light on this situation the international galaxy s2 has had this feature from day 1. It was also used in the marketing of the s2 as a feature Samsung was proud of. Long story short sprint had Samsung pull it from our device. I have no info as to why Sprint had them do this. Kind of like how Sprint had them pull the nfc chip without any explanation i guess...

No you cant use a gsm kernel on a cdma phone but the usb host code is a part of android since honeycomb. ICS has it too. Hopefully it will get re-enabled once we have a stable ICS OTA.

It is still possible the hardware is too different to simply port the recovery. I didn't bring anything until I post an image. Besides, the device still doesn't have kernel source. We can talk about saving it when it is too difficult instead of too new.

Check the op and the posts above yours for information
Closing the thread until the first build.
I opened this back up since the kernel is also included in the source now. The builds for boot and recovery compile but currently result in a crash. This appears to be security related and, being the first Samsung Galaxy phone (camera had no security) I've worked with, probably something I'm not configuring.
Either way, the source should give developers enough to work with. All of the commandline parameters and such have been verified.

It should be ready to go but fails some check. I know it isn't the recovery failing because the boot.img fails and all I changed in that was adding the line for init.d
I stopped changing anything until I can get the boot working to get valid readings on what needs work.
I miss fastboot. Straight up pass/fail

It's a weird problem that shows up differently for many people. My phone works well except for tap to wake, which worked great when new, but is getting worse.
Have you tried different chargers and had the same touch screen problems? See below, I think some problems are related to heat

I suspect your model has less problems in this area because it isn't loaded with carrier bloatware.
I think some of the problems are related to heat. It seems the top of the phone gets very hot, especially on US carriers because of background bloatware, T-Mobile in particular. The screen and camera start to work poorly.
I blocked 95 pre installed packages on my AT&T variant using Debloater and the phone works great except for tap to wake. Sometimes I just have to beat the phone to wake it up.
Do you ever have to double tap or enter the knock code more than once to wake your EU variant?

Who's Thinking Of Getting This Phone?

Hiya folks. I've had Xperia phones since 2010 and I'm thinking of replacing my broken Z3c with an XA1. However I really don't want to be tied into a 2 year contract for a handset that's unsupported.
So I was just wondering..I know it's early days..but is anybody else thinking of getting one of these?
If you're browsing this forum and considering a purchase, reply and let me know! :good:

I'm really curious with this phone. Instead of mediatek processor, do you ever experience any lag/error during multitasking? And I wonder how long this 2.300 ma power battery can stand for a day. Maybe you can share your screen on time with list of applications installed.

Hello, could you confirm one exciting feature of android 7 (atleast for me) that it works on this phone software.
As of Android 7.0 phone can read 2G/3G/LTE frequency without ROOT. Easiest way is to install app Cellmapper(mapping cell towers to map) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cellmapper.net.cellmapper
Could anyone run this app(enable "Use new Android 4.2 Cell ID API" in settings) and post screenshot while connected to LTE only or 3G when 4G not available(no wifi)? Also, maybe send debug report from settings menu to developer([email protected]) with screenshot.
Thank you

Well, I've got this phone now. Got it this afternoon. Initial impressions are good. Yes it's not a powerhouse but, for a mid range device, it's really not bad.
Hopefully I can get it rooted soon then I can mod the hell out of it.

I've had it less than a day so I can't really comment. But I haven't noticed any significant battery issues so far. I've come from the Z3 Compact and this seems to do everything I need it to do at the moment. The sound is good, picture quality is decent (yes, it's not full HD or whatever but it's a phone..if I really need amazing picture quality on my videos I'll use my TV) and the battery seems okay.
Like everything, it depends what you're using it for. If you spend your whole day playing Pokémon Go at full brightness while listening to music, your battery is going to be annihilated..
Engineering mode
Did anybody try engineering mode?
*#*#3646633#*#*
From engineering mode, I'd like to see which LTE bands are supported.
Please screenshot it

How about this app?

Thanks in advance.
Is it possible in the future for a stereo speaker mod to be made?

Not working. All those apps say the chipset isn't recognised.
