which tab are you considering buying?. the wifi's only, well, you already know the answer. the ones you can make a call with which I am assuming are the one you are asking about can be used as a hotspot as per several verizon youtube video.

USB OTG is USB on the go. The ability to plug a USB flash drive or external hard drive in via a special cable.

The verizon tab 2 7.0 cannot make phone calls, I wish!
As far as OTG goes, I'm not sure. I'm sure Verizon would know the answer, maybe.. I'd like to this too so if you find out let us know :good:
In /mnt there are several mount pointes:
/mnt/UsbDriveA through /mnt/UsbDriveF, if that makes a difference.

Verizon has no idea, neither does samsung. They act like I'm speaking chinese when I ask them. My company is considering buying all the field techs a tablet for work, but i has to have USB OTG, so I'm going to go to the VZW store tomorrow and try out a tab 2 10.1 and see if it recongnize it.
PS my xoom will, with the "stock" 4.0.4 firmware, however i has to be rooted and use "stickmount" by chainfire to get it to work.

This would seems to suggest it would, however the adapter doesn't mention the tab 2, only the tabs

If the tab 10.1 can support it I'm going to guess the tab 2 can as well. They only cost $2 so I may grab one myself, if it doesn't work I didn't lose anything

[Q] Using a USB cellular modem with Xoom WiFi

Does anyone know if it's possible to use a USB cellular modem such as the Verizon LTE card (pantech u290) with the USB port on the Xoom WiFi? That would be a really cool ability if it were possible.
I imagine that it COULD work given the necessary drivers and tools. The device would have to be unlocked and rooted, and you would need to load a boot.img with the capability already in place. Beyond USB storage, a driver would have to be ported/written for a device like that.
Given that Verizon is already the mobile data sponsor of the Xoom, and are offering LTE antenna upgrades once its launched in the Xoom, they might have a problem with that.
But yes, it is possible in theory.
The xoom definitely detects a UML290 when it is plugged in via a xoom host cable. This should be very feasible to get working and I'll be looking into it.

There's no difference between using a laptop with an external radio and using a tablet with an external radio. It's not like you're bypassing charges or anything.
If anything, Verizon would be against xooms having a wifi radio at all. But they'd certainly prefer you to use a 3g dongle (which would make them money) than using just wifi.

The problem is that someone will have to take the SDK and drivers from the USB modem manufacturer and adapt them to the Xoom. This is way beyond my skill set unfortunately.
Okay someone must know how to do this. My friend has the Acer Iconia and he was able to get it to recognize a Novatel USB760 modem for Verizon. Some directions are over in the Acer Iconia forum. It running Honeycomb and similar hardware sure someone could get the Xoom working with this.
I'm quite interested in this as well. Is there any guidance on where to look to do this? I am a software developer, although I don't have any experience at building software for the android, but I could certainly come up with something.
the SDK's are usually available on the web site of the modem manufacturers. The big ones are Pantech, Novatel, and Sierra Wireless. They all should have Linux SDK info that should be portable to Android. I'm thinking that if someone wrote an app for this, they could make quite a bit of money selling it on the Android market
Can't you buy something that accepts the USB modem like a router of some sort?
Better yet wouldn't you be able to get a Linux driver for the aircard and hack that some way?

This won't help you get on the Verizon network, but it may help for people with GSM carriers, and may lead in the right direction
Huawei 3G WCDMA Modem SUPPORT
It's for the viewsonic, but all the 10.1 tabs pack about the same hardware, and it's all Android, or rather linux at this level. You guys might have some luck getting the Huawei sticks working
the carrier's can't detect what is attached to the USB modems. As long as the USB stick is activated with a legit data plan, it should work fine. the key is getting the android drivers together and working using the linux SDKs provided by the USB modem mfgs.
Also...I'm opening up a pool for a donation to any developer that will work on this. I'm putting $50 in.
I would also be willing to donate to get this working.
After a lot of researching, i was very sad i had the wifi only version but after that, i noticed that it was the best option, One Data Plan in your Huawei e5 hot spot and enjoy the connection of simult four devices in the same data plan - all on the go, i have hd2 "Androided" and the xoom wifi.
Enjoying less monthly charges for the hd2 and sharing the xoom. i even though of tethering from my phone but phone data plans are much higher than Data Only SIMs.

This doesn't do me much good unfortunately...still open to paying someone to develop this...or you could build it and launch in the app market. Support for the common ATT, Sprint, and Verizon modems would probably get LOTS of buyers including me. I'd bet there's a good market on all the wifi only tablets for this type of work

[Q] Sharing internet form my Omnia

Hi there!
As I couldn't find soulution I decided to write a new topic here.
Recently I've bought 7" Navigation/Tablet with android 2.3 on board, as I am owner of Omnia i900 which I used a lot as a internet access form my laptop ( simply plugh in usb, internet sharing - and it worked) I would like to connect my Tablet with Omnia and share internet form it. Tablet has miniUSB (allready bought usb>miniUsb adapter) but I have no idea how to get connection in my tablet.
This is how I would like to connect it:
(internet network) > Omnia> usb cable for omnia > USB to miniUSB> Tablet
anyone know how can I run internet that way? Is this posslible at all?
I will be really greatful if some one know the solution.

I have just done some serious searching on this..... i know that certain tablets have an adapter you can buy for like 5 bucks. Do you remember the exact name when you bought ir or was it one that just said "Android 2.3 GPS Table Internet" kind of thing?

I would get a usb to micro/mini depending on what it has, and try it, you can get one for a few bucks on ebay. From what I have seen, it has a chance of working.

[Q] A general question about tethering.

This has nothing to do with a certain ROM or anything like that, just a general question. Now, I was wondering if my GS3 is connected to WI-FI, and NOT using any mobile carrier data, can it share that connection through USB tethering to a PC or laptop? I've looked everywhere and all people seem to do is share their DATA connection with their devices, and nothing for Wi-Fi. Thanks in advance! -YK
That doesn't make any sense. Wouldn't you just connect your laptop to that same WiFi hotspot?

My bad, I forget to clarify that my PC can't connect to Wi-Fi because it's lacking a wireless card. And just my luck, there are no ethernet ports anywhere.
Then it might be time for a hardware upgrade lol. As for sharing your WiFi connection, I can see it being possible for USB tether, but I have never heard of such a thing. My guess is that there isn't much demand for said feature.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
I've known several people who demanded for WiFi tethering, too. All, business related.
To my knowledge, I do not know of a way of succeeding, due to that I've done research myself.
If anything close enough to it, would probably be USB tethering or Bluetooth tethering. But, I haven't tried those personally. Running on CM10.1, which those options are available,
I wanna saw I saw a feature like you're looking for in PDAnet. If you have a few dollars to spare I'd def throw in a PCI Wireless Ethernet Card
Oh whale.
Ah, even after all this time, there is still lack of such a feature. Oh well, just have to wait till I can scrape up a wireless card somewhere.

[Q] Same root method for Memo Pad Smart 10?

Better thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2153331
I know this is in the wrong section, but I couldn't find a section for the Memo Pad Smart 10 so I'm asking here as the TF300 seems to have almost identical specs.
First off, I only needed a light duty tablet, I have a GNoteII for my phone so I'm not in need of an expensive powerhouse of a tablet as I only wanted a larger screen for some traveling stuff and what not.
But I would like to be able to root and unlock the bootloader on my new tablet once I get it. But I wasn't sure if there was such a thing already in the works, where I could look for it if it is, or if I could somehow help out by providing data from the device when it arrives at my house tomorrow.
If any Dev's out there wanted info from me I'd be happy to help out as much as I can. I'm by no means capable of doing it myself, but I know how ADB works and such so I would be willing to help.
TIA.

Hey I was on Toshiba forums and they have a root method. By using motocrunch not the bootloader aspect just the root you can gain root that way. The original link to the convo is http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...est-rooting-guide-me301t-android-4-1-1-a.html

It doesn't come with one or at least mine didn't just buy one from ebay I got one from there for less than $2
Oh and mine says there was another system update available yesterday but I'm reluctant to install it.I already got the 4.2.1 update does anyone know if the new update will remove root.

It probably will. Others have had luck restoring root using voodoo ota root keeper. I didn't.
But motochopper rooted me again after the 4.2.1 update.
I'll check for updates when I get home and let you know.

Verizon S3: Does MHL work for all ROMs?

I've searched, and found decent hits, but I have not found anything recent telling whether or not my S3 can output via MHL to HDMI.
I have an aftermarket dock that is "supposed" to work with the S3, but so far, nothing. The screen blanks when I plug in, but no video appears. So, the monitor is getting some kind of input, but not the correct input. Are there specific ROMs these days (late 2013) that specifically DO or DO NOT offer MHL capability? Are they 4.2.1, 4.2.2 or 4.3 specific? As I type this, I am installing CleanROM. I tried HALO (non TW), and BoneStock but no joy. I read on several posts that TouchWiz is needed so I am concentrating on that for now.
Thank you!
Found my answer. My dock was defective! CleanROM works great and I suspect the others may too. When I get the new dock, I'll try them out.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but adapter are you using? Does it still work? I'm currently searching for an adapter for my S3.
The dock does not work for the S3. The retail dock does of course. I've since swapped phones to a Note 3 and that one DOES work with the dock. I know you can use the red MHL cable with the S3 successfully., if that helps.
