Hi Friends,
I am from India, Recently we bought galaxy note 800 and its amazing. it works great and we love using it. Now what is bothering me is that we have TATA photon plus postpaid USB dongle in our home. We use it with our laptops and desktops. Now I want to connect the same to my galaxy note and access the internet, when I am outside. I know that we have sim card provision for that purpose but as this photon is provided by my office , I wanna use it instead buying a new SIM. So friends please let me know if we can use this USB dongle with my Tablet and if yes, How do I do that ? I have even got the 30 pin to USB connector for my tab and tried connecting the dongle, but after connecting nothing happens. Only the blue LED on my dongle keeps blinking as it does when it connects to internet over my laptop, but I cannot connect to internet.
Help me guys and thanks in advance.
I do not think it will support it but you can test it you need the connector to USB converter should get it for around 100 rs in the local market use it and check whether it detects it or not if it does you are in luck if it does not then you have to look at an alternative anyways it will look ugly why dont buy a prepaid card all the providers provide 1gb for 250
No Data card does not work using an OTG cable just tried it
The dongles need drivers to work. On the laptop or pc it generally installs them as part of the setup process however as this is a windows app it won't work on an android tablet. I know dongles have been got to work on other tablets, the Acer Iconia A500 comes to mind but there was a lot of work by the devs to get them working and then it was only certain dongles....
No the drivers for dongles are part of Linux or Unix like keyboard or mouse but it is detected as an high voltage device and hence it does not take it. older version of Linux kernels use to not support dongles but newer version do support it
I just traveled to Japan last week and most hotels over there are still not big fans of wifi. So, they usually have ethernet wired rooms for internet. I tried to use my OTG to ethernet adapter to connect the ethernet connection to my Razr Maxx HD. Unfortunately, it did not work. But I noticed on the phone there are settings for the ethernet connection but they are available to make changes or selectable. The adapter that I used came from my cheap travel tablet that uses an OTG/mini usb to ethernet adapter to connect to the internet. The tablet and my laptop connected just just fine. No recognition or anything when plugging the adapter into the Razr. I would like to skip taking the tablet in the future if I can just use my phone. Or quite possibly use the ethernet connection to enable the phone's hot spot connection. I am wondering if anyone on this forum used an ethernet connection with there Razr HD and if so what is needed to get it to work? Thanks in advance.

Good afternoon folks.
I'm wondering if it is possible to connect a 3G USB Dongle with an OTG cable or with the Original USB adapter that comes with the N8010.
If it's possible how can I do it?
Best regards
Hi I recently bought Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 P3110 WIFI only, Can I connect any USB internet Dongle to it to access internet besides WIFI.
I already know we can connect USB with OTG adaptor but that only supports keyboard, mouse and not any USB dongle.
If not dongle is there any way I can access internet on it while travelling when there is no WIFI. Please Help, I travel most of the time and now I think I wasted my money with no internet on it

Good day everybody...
I just got my usb OTG cable for the htc and it works very good with beanstalk 4.4
I also had a wifi dongle that occasionally used with my computer, can i get it to work with my htc one x at&t to get more wifi reception and get online?
The usb wifi dongle is a ralink series
Thanks to everyone for the responses
I'm thinking it depends on how much power the dongle draws.

But to put it to work, special features or modules on the kernel? Drivers or something? Or an app to make functional?
Have you researched?

Here on xda just some for motorola atrix and other phones compilaring the drivers into the kernel nothing exactly with htc one x or the dongle it self and on google nothing, i can try just to put it and also to confirm if alone is going to install and search signal or be detected like a mass storage unit thats why my question
Ok, well if it isn't a mass storage unit it won't be detected as a mass storage unit. If you're on a Sense ROM the Sense kernels should OTG capability built in. And I believe the kernel in all current aosp ROMs have OTG capability built in too.

I test just now with my memory stick of 4 gb and it is detected like mass storage, i even make some backup's of the last rom that i have on TWRP and make another one from the current that i have Beanstalk 4.4
I'll be connecting the usb wifi dongle but i dont know how is going to be recongzied (sorry if it wrong, little bit rusty with my english) as a wifi detecting dongle or just something detected but not functional.
If this is the case anyone knows of an app to handled this? Or terminal script? Or nobody has try yet
Just confirm something for me. Is this dongle going to transmit an internet connection through the usb connection or will it transmit a WiFi signal your phone can connect to? My understanding is that it will be the latter in which case all you need from the usb connection is power. Have you tried just connecting it to the phone yet?
Sent from my Evita
I already connected and needs power
My understanding is that the phone dosent pass voltage trought the microusb for that matter dosent light up the wifi dongle
I have to get a wifi dongle with some battery on theself
Probable test it with a router wifi modem plug to a power cord and get some signal trought that and get the cable that has ethernet conection with a usb on the other end and plug it to the OTG cable
That's very hard to understand. I need you to answer my questions. Is this device going to transmit an internet connection through the cable or is it going to transmit it wirelessly?
Sent from my Evita
Ok, sorry
My purpose is to get wifi signal through the usb wifi dongle, as is said before there's have to be some power to power on the dongle or a least with my dongle
That still isn't clear. You want the connection transmitted through the usb connection, not via WiFi signal?
Sent from my Evita
I want a wifi signal trought the dongle
Ok that still isn't specific because either way it's through the dongle, but I'm going to assume you mean through the usb connection. If the device isn't lighting up though I would assume that it isn't being recognised as a compatible device.
Sent from my Evita
No dosent show as compatible not even start the dongle
