Hi all.
I have been doing a bit of research and am finding split information as to whether or not the galaxy tab 8.9 is able to use a composite rca cable or not.
I see some selling the cable and advertising it as being compatible with all galaxy tabs including the 8.9, I am also seeing some selling the exact same cable and advertising it as only being compatible with the Samsung P1000 7” tab.
Here is an example of the cable I am talking about. I do have an hdmi cable which works great, but I would still like to have the rca cable if it is compatible.
I am wondering if anyone has tried this type of cable with a galaxy tab 8.9..
Thanks for the help!
I have ordered one at dealextreme for a few euros, a few days ago. I'll let you know if it works. I am particularly interested in using it to connect my tab to a projector. I couldn't find any information on the internet so I'll just see what happens I guess.
Thanks stevennekens for the reply. I as well would like to be able to use my tab with a projector.
Looks like the hyperlink in my above post did not stick, here is an example of the cable I am referring to :

doesn't work
I have my cable in from dealxtreme and it doesn't work with the galaxy tab 8.9 although otherwise advertised (not by samsung). I am still hoping to find a way to get it to work.
Thanks lrbizar for the reply.
Sorry to hear that the cable does not work for our tab.. other than this minor issue, I have really enjoyed using it.
If you are ever able to get it working, please let me know.

Hi people,
It's unbelievable but it doesn't work. I actually exchanged the cable once thinking it was faulty. The Samsung say it's not compatible. And I have a Samsung H03 projector that I was looking forward to connecting to my GT 8.9. It's very frustrating that I can't connect two Samsung devices together. GT 10.1 and 7 should be fine they say. Where did you get the HDMI cable please?
Good luck.
Danny.

Simple question and I can't find an answer no matter where I look or who I call.
Can anyone verify if the multimedia Dock: Link that came out for the GT version 1 models is or isn't compatible with the GT2?
I'm wanting to install an in dash tablet in my car. These samsung models are about the only ones out there that have a small dock that can hide behind the dash, which have a power port and an RCA audio out port, allowing me to charge it constantly while I'm driving and send audio out to an amplifier pumping jams to my speakers.
Anyways, if anyone could answer this question it'd be a big help.
Does not work. Not for me at least, and it is designed forspecific tablet as well.

The keyboard dock works fine for me, so does the OTG cable and HDMI dock, dunno about what you have.

Did you buy this online? If so, where (url) and do you have a product number?
I bought an a/v cable which did not work. So, before I buy some new products I want to be sure that it will work.
Thank you in advance!
HDTV Adapter is EPL-3PHPBEGSTA. Works with P6200 and P5100. Official Samsung product, bought from a Samsung store. It's weird, though, the same adapter did not work on a friend's P3100 from a different country. It just brings up one of those 'open with' dialog boxes with unrelated apps on connecting. I think this is a software glitch, though, because mine is on the latest stock firmware, and it works perfectly. Tons of websites also list this as a compatible accessory for all Tab 1s and 2s.
USB host cable is just a cheapie cable costing a couple of bucks off ebay. Works on P6200, P7100, P7300, P3100, P5100. Tried and tested all.
Also all available Samsung keyboard docks work with all available tabs, there's only a removable plastic guide stand that's different. In my case, the same dock for the P6200 worked with the P5100 once I removed the plastic. In my case, I procured a keyboard dock for the P7500 and modified the plastic to fit my P5100. Works just fine after modding the stand.

Hi everyone, is there an Ethernet adapter for note 10.1? or is there any simple solution to connect to a cable-only network?
For example some hotel doesn't have wifi in their rooms, only Ethernet cables, how can I connect my note 10.1 to internet?
Thank you in advance for your kind help

Get this : http://www.amazon.com/Ethernet-Adap...7558228&sr=1-3&keywords=micro+usb+to+ethernet
And you will need this: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-30-Pi...558291&sr=1-1&keywords=galaxy+tab+usb+adapter
Haven't tested the ethernet adapter but it got great reviews and say works
I use this, it works great!
www.amazon.com/Apple-Airport-Express-MB321LL-A/dp/B0015YJOK2
I use it as a wireless router only, I don't use the music functions.
It's a bit of a pain in the ass to set up. And whatever you do, don't accept any updates from Apple once you do get it setup. As is typical of Apple, in my experience, the software is not that easy to set up correctly. ( you have to set it up with a PC or Mac before you can use it.) They make manual setup very difficult by using non standard terms. Follow the automated set up procedure, it's very difficult to get the manual setup correct. If you accept an update from Apple, half the time it'll ruin whatever set up you do have. So once you get it running, don't screw with it. However, once it is running, it's great.
All look nice and with great portability, thank you all very much for the suggestions.
I will definitely try them out at local shops.
PS: just got my note 10.1 yesterday and loving it. Also own an S7S, but note 10.1 is much lighter and generates almost no heat compared to S7S. Of course it is less powerful but all I was doing with S7S are note-taking and sketching, and note 10.1 covers both fairly well.

On the ethernet adapter, There's an updated review:
Dear Solomo1,
We really want our adapter to work for you also
Please notice in the description of the item, we advise buyers this Ethernet Adapter (any ethernet adapter for that matter) does not work with Samsung Tabs.
This adapter does work with the ASUS Transformer tablets. If you contact us at the email address of our web site shown on the product packaging, we will talk you through getting it working with your ASUS. The problem is usually just changing a setting in your tablet or your router. If, however, we learn the unit you received is defective, we will gladly send you a replacement immediately.
Regards,
Bobj

Apparently it doesn't work with Samsung Tabs, but it does work for the ASUS.
Maybe contacting the company can help?

Noob question about Samsung Tabs but Is it software issue or hardware?
Solution to your woes
Had the same issue with my Galaxy notes the best solution is a $20 >>> Mini 802.11N 150M WiFi Wireless Router Access Point AP <<< from ebay
do a search with the above text
small works perfectly and can do PPPOE.... Much better than usb to Ethernet anyway.
Response
the following ANDROID tablets can not use this adapter: Nexus 7-II, Samsung tablets, ACER, Lenovo, Sony, Coby-Kyros. Toshiba models "Thrive7", AT200" (ExciteLE) will not work with this adapter.
Any news on this front? Anyone testing anything?
I'm eyeballing either TV Video AV Cable for Samsung Galaxy Tab Note 10.1 or Samsung Galaxy TabTM HDTV Adapter for my Galaxy Note 10.1
My biggest concern is compatibility.
I checked on samsungs own site for the compatibility between the HDMI cable and the Note but it came up saying "NO" but I don't know if that's because they haven't tested it yet or it really is a NO. As for the RCA one, I'm aware I'll lose the awesome video output and will be watching it in SD, that's ok, the videos I have saved on it are from DVD so it won't get better than 720, what I'm more concerned about is "will it work"
anyone tested either of these and know the answer?
BTW: the Note is completely stock at this point

I bought the HDMI adapter, I believe it is the same one you linked to on amazon, official samsung adapter, but at frys electronics ( I had a $100 giftcard there from the sale hey had on the note 10.1). It has nice picture and audio as should be expected, and it is nice with apps like youtube with the user interface.
The only issue I found with it so far, and might be a deal breaker, is you need to have your charger plugged into the adapter at the same time for it to work. There is a slot to plug into right next to the input on the device. It seems like a nice feature at first so you can charge your device while watching netflix or whatever on your regular tv. BUT you NEED to have it plugged in in order for it to work, and I wanted to remove several cables and stuff. I got this adapter so I wouldn't have to worry about moving my laptop from my office to my living or bedroom to watch some tv, but it will be the same hassle it seems like with this.
I am considering returning it and going a different route that will better suite my needs of less wires.
Don't know about the RCA thing, but it seems like it might be a good route if it works.

Thanks dude!! It does work perfectly! This is great and fixed the issue I was having, still wish I didn't have to though haha, but at least it is better now.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1
OEM Software (Rooted)
GT-P5113
4.1.1
HDTV Adapter
EPL-3PHPBEGCAN
So I am trying to connect the tap to my HD TV. I purchase the above adapter and connect the power to the adapter via the OEM power plug/cord, the adapter to the tablet via the 30 pin connecter on the adapter, and the TV to the adapter via HDMI cable. When I plug the adapter into the tablet, it makes a chime noise signifying that something has been plugged in. When I go to the HDMI input source on the TV, nothing displays. I know I am doing it right as I have Googled this to death. I have contacted Samsung via phone, and email support. All they do is ask me if I bought my tablet locally and then refer me to call Samsung for parts. I don't want or need parts. I clearly have everything I need. So I click a link on the Samsung site that says "Email the CEO". I amusingly clicked and sent an email about my frustrations trying to get support. So someone from Samsung calls me back (the same people you get when you call support. After being put on hold for 20 minutes while they find something to tell me, she comes back and asks me if my TV is MHL compatible. In my head I'm like wtf?!?! So I ask her what that has to do with this and she tells me my TV needs to have this in order to display whats on the tablet. So I ask her if the website, box or instructions should say this as I have never heard of MHL until she mentioned it. I look up MHL and it looks like its related to phones and the HDTV adapter the phones use with micro HDMI. This adapter uses regular HDMI.
Anyways, I've had enough of the Samsung runaround...
Has anyone gotten this to work? I'm at a loss of what to try. I've tried on two TV's with the same result. I shouldn't need to upgrade should I? Do I need to unroot, upgrade, then root? Anyone have any suggestions?
Anyone? Thoughts or suggestions?

I'm using the Onn brand sold at Wal-Mart. I haven't had an issue with it at all. I got mine at a local goodwill. It comes with the main adapter and an adapter for Samsung devices. It also can charge the device at the same time.
I found this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/help/mhl-to-hdmi-adapter-t2801885
Seems like the HDMI adapter situation is a total mess. The MHL standard is a joke, because apparently no one bloody follows it correctly.
Unfortunately i live in Europe. So i can not go to Walmart and grab it.
And yes it is really messed up I can not be sure if the product i wanna buy is gonna be compatible.
Any MHL3 works.
Is there an MHL adapter that will work without needing to be plugged in to a power source? I just bought one off Amazon, but it certainly didn't work without being plugged in to power....
