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

Haven't tested the ethernet adapter but it got great reviews and say works
I use this, it works great!

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 hoping for a tablet that I can both use wifi, but also plug into an ethernet cable every so often. I've seen some cheap tables from china with a rj45 plug, but I can't tell if they have drivers (and I haven't seen one with android 2.2+ which I also need for my project). I would also like the tablet to have been rooted. I'm hoping for a pre $300 range.
Also, are there any usb -> ethernet/rj45 adapters out there with android drivers?
Thanks!
Well out of the box the viewsonic Gtab doesnt have ethernet but you can get a dock for it that has it. Good luck
For some reason, I find it strange that someone would want a tablet with ethernet. I'm not sure why, but it's just an odd request to me.
Nothing to really add otherwise, but good luck in your search.
its supported by tegra chipset , a number of docks should have it ...
that said u might be better off with some plug n play mini AP that u can carry around if ya kno ur gonna need it
Here is pad with ethernet and Android 2.2.

The site is run by a member of the slatedroid forums, there is a small business section there for his shop. Alot of members of that site have bought from there.

basically same thing but cheaper.... id def buy this one if i needed one , str8 bargain
same with but no adapter needed for rj45 , but , only 256mb ram

Sometimes wireless just isn't reliable or fast enough, having an RJ45 connection there, even if it's an adapter, would be nice!
We got a 10 inch Android Zenthink ePad to play with. It has an ethernet adapter, which works well.
The device itself is not very high quality, but it is fantastic value for money.
There are lots of reports of the adaptor socket coming adrift from the main board, so if you get one, be gentle with it.
It's 2011! Get with the time, pops!

Try managing a cisco router/switch without ethernet. I want a tablet with ethernet for that very reason. I'd replace my netbook with a tablet if I could do that.
Also last time I was in germany the hotel used a T-mo access point to provide internet so that requires a login. I used my netbook to login, shared the connection to ethernet, crossover to a cheap wifi AP and bam! internet for my main laptop, girl's laptop, wii, etc...
I wonder if a USB ethernet adaptor could work on Android?

Not everyone has wireless. Most of my clients do not have wireless because of security reasons but I still need to access their network and ethernet is usually the only choice.
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 :
http://www.accessorywiz.com/composi...io-cable-link-for-samsung-galaxy-tab-8-9.html
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.
Does anyone have an idea whether its possible to use MHL + OTG with charging on the Skyrocket? Whether it be stock or an aftermarket rom/kernel doesn't matter. I can't seem to find a definitive answer on this phone, but I'm leaning toward not possible.
This is what I planned on ordering. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009LAZG2M/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I would assume since the MHL adapter puts the device in charge mode, it wouldn't read the attached usb device (if using a hub or y adapter) since it is not in Host mode. Any have any experiance with this or have any links they can provide. It would be much appreciated!

I have the same cable and mhl works as long add the rom supports it. As for your question I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1741583&page=21 and on the last page there is a link for someone who got it to work on as3 however our phones have different pin configuration but you should be able to do the same thing as him
OTG while using MHL sounds like a great way to fry something important on your phone. it's clear the note 2 had something like this in mind with the smart dock. it looks like the smart dock works with the S3 so it could be that the way they designed the usb port it all just works as needed for this.
I'm interested in the usecase/motivation for doing both at the same time if you don't mind sharing.

Well my Skyrocket screen was destroyed by my youngest son So, I had an idea to use the old phone with the MHL adapter to connect to my TV (which is not a smart TV). The need for the OTG is to plug in peripherals such as kb/mouse, but after further review, i could probably just use bluetooth. The device itself doesn't need to have much storage really, all of the movies are being streamed from my mini home server (DLNA).
So instead of going out and spending 60 on a smart TV adapater, I figured I would try to make use of what I already had, a phone with a broken screen. I'm not even sure the digitizer works and I was unable to find a replacement screen a decent price. The phone has already been replaced with a Nexus 4, so I'm not really concerned with the "safety" of the skyrocket.
I think it would be nice to use it as a TV adapter, surf net, play games watch movies while in bed using a wireless mouse/keyboard.
You would think there would already be something like this out there...
I came across this, then noticed their statement "Use Bluetooth keyboard for wireless control" Which really tells me no OTG... and heard was broken ha.

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....
Hey, guys. So, my Dad has the Samsung Galaxy J3 Prime & would like to view movies and other content on his Samsung UHD HDTV. Knowing the phone doesn't have screen mirroring, and I have looked at a few options on the Play Store (pretty much all of them require a home wireless connection to work). He doesn't have Wi-Fi, so I've been trying to find a way he could connect the phone to the TV's HDMI input.
The problem is that a lot of the cables/adapters out there require a phone that's MHL certified, and as of yet I have been unable to determine whether this phone is certified for MHL. Has anyone here had any luck with using such hookups, and if so what is the connection medium & where was it purchased? Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Actually, I've seen MHL adapters on Amazon and MicroCenter.com that say they're compatible with the S4 and up. Is there any to mirror the phone on a HDTV, either wirelessly or by a cable, that work well?

Trust me thats a lie. I bought one myself and then i looked up what devices are actually compatible on the official mhl site. I also got the same device. Your phone has to have a special chip that allows an mhl cable to send the display to a tv. For some reason they stopped putting these chips in phones years back.
