[Q] Micro USB to USB Adapter

Hi I was wondering if a micro usb to usb adapter such as this one would work with our LG Nitro HD. I'm currently using CM9 nightlies as my rom.

Don't see why it wouldn't but what's the purpose?

Almost all of my medical textbooks are pdfs, so being able to copy from a friends pen drive a pdf to my phone so I can later copy it to my laptop at home is a major plus for me . I went ahead and purchased it anyways, so I'll report back if it works or not

So I finally got my usb-otg adapter. I plugged it in and tried a numerous amount off usb apps with no success. I wasn't able to use stickmount since the play store told me that it isn't compatible with my device. I haven't tried sideloading stickmount though. I'm running CM9 stable, not sure if it works with the stock roms or with JB.

I've never seen any indication that the Nitro HD supports USB-OTG. It's not listed in the spec sheets I've checked at least.

I just got my USB-OTG cable ... now i can try implement it, wish me good luck :fingers-crossed:

Good luck! USB Host is the only thing that's missing to Nitro.

btw, do you try micro usb-> hdmi cable?
It work on official rom but I wonder It can run on CM9 ROM or not
thnx

My hdmi adapter works fine in CM9, so I don't think you should have any problems if you switch to CM9.

[Q] Micro USB to Ethernet Port Adapter for Galaxy note 2

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 ?
(Sorry for the newb question)

[Q] Find 7 via OTG into USB DAC. Will it work?

Looking to output signal out of the phone into my USB DAC. It works with my current phone, quite well.
If I'm to buy this Find 7 I need to know that it will work first. Anybody have any experience with this?

If I remember correctly find7 doesn't support USB OTG at all. Someone can correct me if I remember wrong

The Find 7 supports OTG, but if it's supports a DAC, I don't know, I've only used for usb storage, keyboard and mouse.

My mistake. It was MHL then that was missing

I'll let you know if it works with my DAC, soon, as my phone is slated for delivery today.
MHL, what is that? Hi-rez video out to an external device?

Yup. Standard that allows HDMI output from usb port. I use it a lot with my tablet.

USB-C Hub (USB 3.0, SD/microSD, etc) Compatible with Pixel 2 XL

Anyone have or found a USB-C hub yet that will work with the 2 xl to hook up external HD/thumb drive/microSD/SD cards? Preferably with power input so you can use a powered 3.0 HD like a passport.
When traveling I like to be able to backup my photos from my main cameras (sony Nex 6 and Gopro) to a hard drive or drives, and right now I am using a travel router. It's ok, but the transfer is slow, its a little glitchy, and a little bulky, and I would like to streamline the process and the equipment. I've tried using hubs and cables in the past with my Nexus 7 2013, but it also was not very good and the transfer speeds were awful as I had to go from SD card to tablet, tablet to hard drive. Hoping to go straight SD card to hard drive this time, and at 3.0 speeds if possible.

Following up - something like this (basically a MacBook hub). Anyone have experience with one of these working and any idea what file system formats are supported?

Comments in this one say someone used it with their camera... no experience myself tho.

Same boat. I would like to use it as a hub/transfer point for my external drive, camera(s), and SD cards and then to maybe let it upload the days shots to my server at home while sleeping (if I have decent wifi).
There are obviously some more options for this coming out with hard drives that handle this specific task, but still not ideal IMO.

I purchase it, let's see if it works. I did a combination of the OTG and a 3.0 usb card reader and I needed to purchase an otg enabler in the play store. That works but is kinda slow reading. Let's see how this new one works

Got this hub, and did NOT worked... Dammit google, this is a must for me... Works with the s8, Moto z2 and even Huawei 6x....
The only way that I can achieve what I want is to use the stock google otg with a 3.0 sdcard reader and the app plugin for solid explorer

Thats a bummer. Using the otg adapter in the box I can see a USB thumb drive no problem, but so far plugging my other USB hubs into that adapter give nothing. Ideally I need a USB 3.0 and SDcard on a hub so I can transfer straight from camera cards to the thumbdrive/external drive. going from the camera to the phone, then phone to the drive is tedious at best.

Question Cabo otg

I'm trying to use the otg cable but it doesn't work, neither on the a32 nor on the m53, but on other devices other than samsung it works normally, is there any way to solve this?, several people are complaining about it after one ui 3.1 a11 on several samsungs

works fine on my a32 on one ui 5.1 latest fw. also worked fine since one ui 3.1

Pretty annoying, in my experience it only works with an Samsung brand adapter. No other adapter worked for me
