Hi all,
Hope someone can help, I've recently got an Eken Smart TV (Cortex A9 CPU clocked at up to 1.5Ghz and a Mali-400 GPU) from Futeko (http://www.futeko.com/products/MP044.php) and am playing around with it.
It's pretty good (and incredible for the price) but I feel like it's being slowed down by it's WIFI connection. If a USB ethernet adapter is cheap enough, I'l give one a go, but I don't want to get into a cycle of testing loads of these things.
Does anyone out there know if there's a cheap USB ethernet adaptor that's likely to work with this device (ideally from a UK vendor)?.
Many thanks in advance.

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.

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!

I'll second the gTab, and add that it2steve is reviewing a USB->Ethernet adapter for it soon: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=984991

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.
I Just bought this tablet and i am wondering if anyone had some luck to get a usb to Ethernet adapter running. Quite a few worked for the prime and original transformer.
Its just i travel a lot and some many bloody hotels still have cables in the room....I am sure some people must have run in to the same issue as me here.
I have scourged through the tf101 and 201 forums earlier for this
Mine working with belkin gigabit USB 2.0 network adapter. simply plug and play . I get a notification Ethernet adapter connected ..touch it to go into settings ..switch Ethernet on...done..costs rupees 750 (US$ 17)...attached a pic of it
Known adapters working:
1. Belkin EN and Gigabit adapters
2. Apple mac air Adapter
3. D-link DUB adapter
4. Trendnet, Sabrent, monoprice, maplin electronics are other brands reported to work
others depending on your luck ....I tried an unbranded one in the shop...with Ethernet ..did not work...

I suggest listing the chipsets for compatibility, not the brands

Well I know but trust me it is difficult to search for the chipset on the box of the adapter ..it is not mentioned on it...so better and easy way to go buying an already proven brand because unlike in the US..in other countries you can't return back stuff you bought unless it is faulty. "They never claimed it works for Linux or Android or your tf300 "
Well but if it helps....ASIX AX88772A is the chipset which is said to be working ....well further you can contribute if you are aware...I am a doctor not a software guy. ...ha ha ha

It depends on the brand, but yes, the chipset is generally not mentioned on the box
Still, a compromise: list the chipset, and the brand/type that make use of it?
Still, every adapter compatible with ICS should work with the TF, as drivers are generally a kernel thing.
Thanx Once Again
This is very good news indeed. Now i just have to find any of these in Germany
dont really want to get the apple one.....
This one supposedly has the ASIX chipset and is supposed to work with Android:

Hi,
I am not sure if this is the right place to post this question, probably not? Please replace.
I now have a Galaxy S2 with android 2.3, with ubuntu 12.04 desktop running on it(complete linux installer), together with an MHL adapter I can have a dektop experience on every screen that has HDMI input.
But, OTG does not work on my S2(ROM thing I think?), anyway OTG and MHL simultaniously would never work, because of the 5 pin usb restriction.
Anyway, I want to buy a new phone, but I am not sure which one to buy, I have done a lot of research, but missing some parts.
What I want:
- Kitkat google edition, because it's so clean right?
- OTG and MHL(HDMI out) simultanious, for mouse, keyboard, hdd, a lot of other usb devices and hdmi out.
- Full Ubuntu desktop running
In the first place I would buy a Nexus 5, because of Kitkat Google edition. Maybe later one of the first phones with "official ubuntu for android by Canonical", snapdragon 800 processor 2.2 GHz quad-core 2GB Ram, but, it has only 16GB or 32GB, which is not extendable! And not simultanious OTG and MHL(HDMI out) support, so I cannot add an usb stick or a HDD when I am connected to a screen. Conclusion very limited memory.
Then the other option is the Samsung S4 I9505, snapdragon 600 1.9 GHz quad-core(little bit slower), 2GB ram, extendable memory. And the great thing is that the S4 has a 11 pin usb, this way you can connect the official SAMSUNG multimedia dock(3x usb, hdmi, mini-jack, charging). I would like to run Kitkat google edition on it, then my next question is, would linux/ubuntu run on this? Because I saw that people had some problems with running ubuntu desktop version on the S4?
Conclusion:
Nexus awesome phone, but does not support OTG and MHL at the same time, which results in memory limitation!
S4 a little bit slower, but has it all, the question is, would the S4 with Kitkat google edition run linux on anroid image?
The thing I want to have a full desktop experience, with your phone as base, and experience on every screen you want to. When I am at school, in the train, at home(desktop place), at home(as smart tv or so), add a coreless tablet/touchscreen later?
Or these the only option? Any other genius ideas?
Cheers
Hi,
I am looking for tablet to use in my car - I want it to be a multimedia device used for playing audio /or/+/ video (outputting it to rear-seat monitors as well), being ready for usb stick connection anytime and have dvb-t tuner connected 24/7.
Now after a long search I cannot really find a tablet that's around 7-8 inches, is powerful enough to handle full hd mkv's, and have mini hdmi along with double micro-usb otg, so I can have both usb stick and dvb-t tuner connected, and still have car charger attached to it, so I thought someone here may be able to help.
Anyone?
how about this tablet?

That won't work smoothly with 1080p high-bitrate video for sure
I gotta admit there's [probably] no high-end tablets with separate hdmi out currently on the market, I keep searching and searching and nothing comes up...
ntdm 3000 is a cheap chinese tablet which i use its great for 1080p on bs or mx player,.
idont know if its hdmi though.
Yeah, it doesn't.
The point it it does not need to be cheap - but there's none with hdmi out.
Found some of the tablets by "KURGER & MATZ" to have 2 micro usb ports but... they don't have both gps and bluetooth

Nexus 7 2012 has mhl (HDMI through USB port) and DVT tuner support and has car specific roms . Samsung tablets (8 inch and up) all have capability also . older 7 inchAcer a100 has HDMI and a500 10 inch. Nexus 7 2013 has slimport (newer HDMI through USB) capability. Slim port and mhl plug are only around 10- 30 $ nexus's and Samsung both have USB host and charging at the same time capability (need for DVT support) there is still active development on the old nexus its the one I'd go with. And its pretty easy to solder to the volume and power buttons so u can permently mount in your dash...
HDMI throught usb doesn't do the job for me.
I found only one tablet actually that fills my needs - Chineese PIPO T9.
One thing that sucks, is that it has 4.2.2 and they don't plan on any updates to kitkat.
Aside from that, it has everything needed.
http://www.pipo-store.com/pipo-t9-t...hone-call-tablets-gps-bluetooth-2gb-32gb.html
Separate charging port, mhl-host usb, hdmi, aux, octa-core.
Anyone has better ideas?
In case anyone googling the topic wants to know how I sorted it out in the end:
Bought PIPO M7T tablet (t9 turned out to not have separate hdmi out),
upgraded it with stock rom to 4.4.2.
32 GB MicroSD.
Full HD, even with very high bitrate plays smoothly there.
Has usb otg, hdmi, aux and dc connectors.
Got headphones out connected to aux in my car,
HDMI out heads to hdmi->av converted and goes to car av inputs.
A USB 2.0 4x hub is connected to micro usb, to which I have connected dvb-t tuner, hdmi->av converter power cord and any pendrives I want.
Tablet is constantly connected to external power using DC in.
Works superb, couldn't been better.
Hey XDA Community,
So I picked up an Android TV box on EBay special a few weeks ago, and needless to say, the OS that came on it is clunky and slow and just does not operate as well as I would like. I'd like to replace it with something a bit more stable and user friendly so it can serve as a entertainment device.
Long and short of it, the box itself is black plastic with two USB ports, TF port, AV Port, HDMI port, ethernet port, and 5V DC input. The top says HK1. The box it came in says it's OTT TV Box: 4x CPU Cortex-A53 8x GPU Mali-450. Now the sticker on the back says: Model: HK1, Chip: S905W, Ram: 2G, and Rom: 16G.
So, I'm totally lost as to what exactly I have here and not real sure where to look on the OS of this thing to verify things.
Any help you all could offer would be appreciated from identifying exactly what I got here to installing a better OS, would be great.
TIA,
swillia9
