[Q] Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0) as multimedia device in car - USB host & cam questions
Hello everyone.
I am currently modding Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 for car instalation and everything seems to be great except I have problems with two things:
1) As the tab will be also my main music player I would need an USB host from time to time (check: http://www.expansys.si/samsung-usb-a...d-slot-229630/ ). It would be hard to switch that adapter with power supply just for the time I need to stick USB in it so I am asking if anyone knows if it is possible to have both active at the same time: power supply and USB host? Or if anyone has some other interesting idea how to transfer data to tablet asap from time to time? Please note that it will be really hard to reach it when installed.
(Or if there were any dock compatible with galaxy tab 2 7.0 I could use? I know there is one for Galaxy tab 7 plus, what about tab2?)
2) Since the tab has back camera (which is useless to me in cars interior) i was thinking if there is any possible way to get that camera out of the tab with some extender or something? I've been looking at the interior of a tablet and the camera doesnt look to be attach in any other way than just a flat cable. Any ideas?
Thank you guys for your help in advance!

Hey guys I really need any help I could for my mentioned problems, I recently (today...just now) bought a bluetooth mouse from lexma model b200 and its the economical for me as a student, the problem I had is that it connected perfectly after entering the passkey but I can't navigate using the mouse, the cursor wasn''t displayed and I cannot do anything but when I connected to my friend's Samsung Galaxy S2, it works fine. Is it because I upgraded the tab to Android 4.1.1???
I have a Galaxy Tab 2 that I'm trying to get BlueTooth 4.0... if I use these adapters and upgrade to a 4.4 ROM, will it work?
How does Android deal with having two BT adapters to choose from?
To get a USB port: http://www.amazon.com/Adapter-Dongle-Female-Samsung-10-1-Inch/dp/B008THNXMI
To get BlueTooth 4.0: http://www.amazon.com/SuperTech-Bluetooth-Adapter-CSR8510-Controller/dp/B00HQCINKE/
I highly doubt it, even if the tab 2 is capable of detecting the bluetooth dongle and using one connected in such a method there is still the lack of drivers for that specific dongle that will work with android.
Thanks!
I figured BlueTooth devices would have more-or-less standard drivers that would be included in Android 4.4. If that's incorrect, is there a BT device/chipset/manufacturer that uses known-compatible hardware?
solution?
Hi, have you found a solution to connect the Tab 2 with a bluetooth 4 device?
Thanks

Just for you to know, I think that I performed all the necessary steps in my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10" (P5110) but unluckily it did not work:
1.- I installed the latest nighly build available of Cyanogen to upgrade to Android 4.4.4
2.- I purchased OTG cable (Amazon ASIN B007WRORVC)
3.- I purchased bluetooth 4.0 dongle (Amazon ASIN B00J2UEBY0)
4.- I activated the developers debug option by clicking 7 times on "Build number"
In fact, nothing happens (no new options appeared under the Bluetooth menu options, ...). Is there anything I can do to "wake up" the new hardware (Bluetooth 4.0) and disable the old built-in one (Bluetooth 3.0)?
Thanks

I installed the USB Host Diagnostics app. When I run the diagnostics:
- If I plug the cable and the dongle... Device detected: yes
- If I plug the cable but not the dongle... Device detected: no
- If I do not plug the cable... Device detected: no
At least, it is good news that the results of the diagnostics make sense. It means that the hardware is being detected, so it is only a matter of drivers. I could purchase another dongle from a different manufacturer. Does anyone know one which has drivers for Android?
any update on a solution to connect the Tab 2 with a bluetooth 4 device?
I dont think its possible
Maybe with some "hacks" it can be done by default tab 2 supports 3.0
Is there a way that I can use an iPad as a BT Controller on my Galaxy S7?
I have no workable BT Controller for my S7 right now, as Xbox & PS4 Controllers don't work with this new phone and it will be a while before I get a compatable one.
So, in the mean time, is there a way to connect my iPad and use it as a BT controller with my Galaxy S7?
Thanks for any helpful advice/direction
Has nobody tried or checked this out before?
I was thinking that if you can connect one ios device to another iOs device using BT and use it as a controller, you must be able to connect an ios device to an android and do the same no?
Phone Details:
Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+
Model: SM-G928I
Unrooted (default rom)
Android 6.0.1 (updated via the phone after)
Issue:
Recently tried to play some emulated N64 games using a PS4 controller and the Bluetooth connection was laggy with a delay. I bought a controller attachment to mount my phone to the controller and a micro usb to micro usb OTG cable. I have tried plugging the phone into the PS4 controller and there seems to be no connection or control (pressed all the buttons and nothing happened).
I would prefer to get the cable method working for delay-less control and that is uses less power than Bluetooth
Any help to get the cable method working?
