Still hoping for a way to do presentations from a Galaxy tab.
Anyone has a pointer to potential wireless to vga ?
If you have a PC connected to the projector (or networked), all you need to do is use an app to connect to PC VIA wireless network and have the PC output directed.

That would output the PC screen; I think he wants to show the tablet screen; unfortunately I've never heard of wireless video transfer from any mobile device. It's a good idea, but I don't see it happening for a few more years.
Not quite.... what you need is an app that allows one to control the tablet, ergo, the view on the PC desktop would actually be of the tablet, and therefore could (in theory depending on your setup) be output to the projector. There is such an app (for allowing PC to control tablet) but I cannot recall name. Sorry.

The Samsung multiport doesn't ouput power, so external solutions couldn't work (unless you've found a way to produce radio signals without electricity...).
You can always use a external power source, like a battery. I use one and works fine.

Hi,
In january/february, i bought a USB keyboard with an USB adaptater to use it with my tablet.
I tried to plug it in the 3G's usb port, it did'nt worked, and because last week I broken it, and I updated my tab to ICS, I tried to plug my keyboard in the 3G port, and it worked !
Maybe it's because of ICS ?
Also, my keyboard has also an usb hub, it works too !
Mine seemed to work from the the start with Rom version: 3.2.69 and that's on 2 different G9 101, however others result have varied and it seems a bit hit and miss to say exactly what's going on.
I know there are 2 different versions of the 10" G9 - A101S and A101H , I've not dug too deep into it and I'm not 100% and what the differences are.
I think ICS generally improved the Usb Host support/integration which is always welcome.
Now I just need a large bag to transfer all these extra devices for my "portable tablet".
Mine won't see USB drives/camera cards formatted to FAT32. No big deal.
Actually, it did connect with my phone and its 16GB microSD card, so I'm happily mistaken.
From the ICS "firmware" update change log:
Archos 80/101 G9
Firmware changes
Version 4.0.4 - March 8th, 2012
Initial Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.3 firmware release
MediaCenter Video: support for MKV3D on TV with automatic switch to best 3D mode
MediaCenter Video: allow to disable system notifications in video player
MediaCenter Video: collection of VOB files from DVD are now gathered into a single movie item
MediaCenter Music: integrate Music control panel in Lock Screen
MediaCenter info dialog: allow to edit the name used for performing the Movie and TVShow online search
File Manager: display a notification when file copy continues in background
File Manager: improved drag and drop support
File Manager: new option to prevent indexing of some storage/sdcard folders by multimedia library
Applications: more robust video conferencing support (Google talk, Skype etc.)
USB file transfer: a samba server is now activated on the tablet when using USB network tethering for easier file transfer on non Windows based hosts [Samba for "non Windows"??? Something bass-ackwards about that ...]
Archos widgets: new USB network tether widget [Anyone know if this means it will tether off a phone this way ala older Archos models like the 5 or 43 , or is this meant to "share" its internet connection (however it would obtain it, even if not "3G-enabled" - which seems useless)]
External Keyboard: french layout has been expanded to handle AtlGr keys for special symbols
Accessories: Xbox gamepad support
Maybe I shoulda hung on to the new 80 I bought a week ago, and returned after trying it out for a few days. The inability to get the back/3G USB port and MTP tools to work was a big factor in my return decision (along with no network tether option as the 5 and 43 had, and the reality check on the initial Staples web page claiming 1GB RAM - hope springs eternal...)
FWIW,

@rokkywoof I think that it's for the micro usb port, because this oen is meant to be an OTG micro usb port, and the original usb port is just for the 3G, but maybe they failed and applied the stuff to the 3G's port?
@Telyx/trevd wow that's strange !
I saw that the A80S (A101S) are the archos with flash memory (8 or 16gb), and the A80H/A101H are the archos with the Hard drive (H for Hard drive )

Is this true? This is the main reason why I was planning on getting this tablet this week because it is (or so I thought) that would have been able to transfer raw files from my CF cards to the internal hd, and backed up on an external HD. I shoot about 300gig a week while on the road.

It works fine... just have to turn on the "3G Stick" port, then wait a moment before plugging the camera, phone, thumb drive, card reader, etc. in. One camera connects like a thumb drive (mount the "drive" manually and open the folder in the file explorer), the other launches the Gallery app to allow me to import pictures.

Thank you thats what I needed to do turn on 3G in settings and now it all works
3G's USB seems to work with nearly Everything
Hi @ll,
I also tried to get USB devices to work, no problem with USB-Sticks, but USB-HDD's (selfpowered) seem not to Work (neither on Stock image nor on Cyanogenmod). The HDD starts turning but Android doesn't mount it. Can someone give me some pointers?
My Specs:
Archos G9 80 Turbo HDD with an USB-HDD (USB 3.0 (should be backwards compatible)) by Toshiba
Thanks
I would bet the tablet is not able to supply enough power to actually start the USB HD up.
Remember that usb port was designed to be used with Archos' 3G cell stick and really wasn't meant to be hooked up to other things.
If the port is enabled, there is allways power for the hdd, also for a stick a mouse. But some keybords may not work (I don't figure it out).
The app USB OTG Helper will help to mount the hdd/stick.
I used a friends powered usb hub (dlink dub-h7) and was able to use both my keyboard and mouse with my tablet unfortunately my usb thumb drives dont work when attached to the usb hub however they do work when attached to the hub I didnt have my powered usb hard drive with me to test
Powered Hub
usb2lan-adapter?
Hi,
Just bought a G9 101 turbo to play with.
stock 4.0.25 ROOTED flashed and it's hanging nice on my tv.
Can anyone tell me/give me advise if there's any usb-lan adapter that works?
Would love to use a cable instead of the wifi...
THANKS!

Hey there,
my G Pad is currently running the nightly build of CM11 (updated on Jan. 20).
I wanted to try out the external USB functionality. Despite the fact that the tablet does not support additional external power while using the USB host, PCap for Android doesn't work due to the fact, that the ALFA Wifi adapter (RTL8187 chipset) doesn't show up as USB device properly. Actually it's a bit strange.
My USB Hub, external Keyboard and my mouse are working as they should. Mass storage is also showing up. These devices seem to be handled correctly by the operating system. The problem is, I can not use the external Wifi adapter, because PCap tells me, it can't find any USB devices.
I installed the app 'USB device info' which is devided in two parts. The 'Linux' tab shows all devices (including the external Wifi adapter). It uses /sys/bus/usb/devices to determine what kinds of devices are connected to the tablet. Just like lsusb (shows all devices as well including the Alfa network adapter) everything is correct.
The other tab of 'USB device info' called 'Android' doesn't show any devices.
Could anyone explain what's the difference between those two tabs ('Android' and 'Linux') and why the devices are not visible in 'Android'. I guess the operating system is hiding the device, and that's the reason PCap capture is not able to find it.
Thank you guys.
Hi folks,
I'm trying to connect my phone and my guitar amp via usb to otg cable. The app that the amp uses is optimised for android nougat, however it doesn't work with my new honor 7x (it did with my previous phone with android 5.0).
I've tried activating the usb debug in the developer options, but every time I leave that config page, the toggle goes off automatically.
Any ideas? Have you been able to control an external device via USB with an android app?
Thanks in advance!
I'm interested in using my phone as a OTG portable test monitor by allowing the USB-C Port to be an HDMI Input.
I've found several videos online showing how to make this happen.
HackADay Link
Youtube Link
In short the steps are - Have USB debugging on. Have A USB HDMI capture card. Use a USB capture App. Hook it all up, input signal. open the app.
I Used this capture card (Capture Card Link) and the "USB Camera" App.

I got it working properly on my old Moto Z2 Force (Android 9).
However to my surprise, it doesn't work at all using the same setup on both my Rooted SM-N9750 N10+ (android 11) and my Stock SM-G960U1 S9 (Android 10) Samsung phones...
Anyone have an idea on how to get this to work on Samsung devices?
Did New android versions/ Samsung do something to make it not work properly (DEX)?
Hope we can figure this out! Either way though, it might work on your old phone.
Edit:
-I managed to get it to work on my note10+ by switching the video source (Nintendo Switch) and messing with the apps resolution settings.
