I find Wifi Tethering unstable and usually use usb tethering when i need to be sure of the stability. Is it possible with teh Galaxy s5? I came from the HTC One M7 where we had it and it worked well
I tether it to my desk router for an LTE failover. I'm sure it will tether to a computer just fine provided you have the Samsung USB Drivers. Shoot me a PM if you need help!
If you have your device rooted, I know MOAR rom has working usb tether. I haven't checked the others.

Thanks... it is greyed out but I guess that means I can only activate it when it is plugged in via USB... On previous phones it was a setting that you just had it tether whenever hooked up via usb.

I'm running the latest HC 3.2.2 due to having my LTE modem upgraded. It is rooted and I've tried using Drive Mount and USB Watcher to get my HDD recognized through usbOTG. It seemed to work fine before but now I can't get it to work.
A few times I've been able to see the HDD in one of the two mounting programs but then it disappears. The HDD turns off (the lights go off) after 20-30 seconds once it's recognized.
Has anybody on 3.2.2 been able to get their usbOTG to recognize? My SD card currently points to External1. Could that be an issue?

the micro sdcard should be at mnt/external1. That is correct. I suggest you flash the Tiamat Odachi kernel 2.2.0 on your rooted 4G Xoom. That should return any OTG functionality you may have lost. This kernel is the only one I know of that was expressly made for and known to be working well on the 4G Xoom. Team Rogue may have also been working on a 4G kernel. Just don't try to flash any custom ROMs until ICS is ported.
Well I tried with latest TIAMAT kernel as well as ROGUE kernel and both give me the same result. Neither drivemount nor usb watcher otg seems to recognize the HDD.
I appreciate the help. Just can't seem to figure out why it's not working. It worked great on Tiamat rom.

Well, I have wifi only and you can see my configuration in my signature line, but on the Odachi kernel I just mounted my 750GB Passport HDD. I used USB Mass Storage Watcher. Works like a charm. I think the newest kernel install overwrites the kernel in the ROM and the kernel controls this hardware stuff, right?
Hello everyone, happy Thanksgiving. How can I use this feature on my Xoom without rooting it? Can someone help me please.
P.S. I have not purchased the OTG cable yet. I need more info before buying one.
Thank you.

Unfortunately, the usb host mode is only available for a rooted Xoom with a custom kernel that gives this functionality. Otherwise the microusb port is only for connecting to your pc.
Why not root?

Because I don't know from where to start rooting.
I find that even with root and either Katana or Odachi I cannot get usbOTG to work with a portable HDD. I'm on 3.2.2.

Is your HDD a newer one? I have a 1st generation Passport that needs a powered hub to run it Xoom doesn't have enough power, but my newer, bigger Passport works just dandy.

Try this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1249798
It should help. There's a modified adb setup link that has you only download just what you need for root...but the guide really walks you through everything.
I had it working on an earlier Tiamat build and kernel. But since the 4G update it's been a no go.

Sorry for that!
But i am looking around in this section and there are a lot of questions.
Im thinking too, that it was a important information for users that it could be problems with accessories like the multimedia dock after a update.
Yep, Confirmed.
Multimedia Dock only working as a charging dock now with 4.2.2
Can't even sync with it.
Went back to 4.1.2 because of this and all is working fine again.

You have to install them while the card is NOT connected. After you installed them, connect the card. As you can read in the post I linked to I had to install them several times myself and reboot before I did not get that device not recognized anymore. After that it seemed to work.....

It´s not working for me.
Did you meen the Sim-Card not to Connect.
If I right understand you, I have to plug in the Docking (with Power Chord on) without connected to my carrier?
Thanks for answering!
Maybe he means the usb cable. ( cord? )
Back to 4.1.2
And all is working again!
Sincerely, the 4.2 update was a bad choice. Samsung should make a better update. I'm not spitting on it, but no Smart Dock mode?
I'm hopefull that Samsung will launch a bugfix for that.
More than half year passed since that problem appeared with the 4.2.2 update.... Is there any solution to use the multimedia dock on 4.2.2 or only the downgrade can help?
You need a kernel with dock support enabled.
There are some configurations to change while compile new kernel:
CONFIG_MUIC_MAX77693_SUPPORT_OTG_AUDIO_DOCK=y
CONFIG_MUIC_MAX77693_SUPPORT_SMART_DOCK=y
CONFIG_MUIC_MAX77693_SUPPORT_CAR_DOCK=y
I compiled my own kernel and use a cable made to support simultaneos charge and otg.
If you want, send a message and I will sent my kernel.
I wonder how the adapter I've got off eBay^ works then. As long as I do plug in power + USB before the HDMI, I get screen off, charging, and USB host and MHL output. Although the only way I can trickle charger rather than slowly drain is by using the 3A charger from my Chromebook instead of a regular 2A charger.

Doesn't work. You need a special kernel.

Do you have a smart dock enabled kernel for 4.4.2?
I would also be interested in a KitKat Kernel that's working with the dock...

I just updated to 4.4.2 and lost docking ability. Will it be possible to use your kernel for an SGH-I467 from AT&T, the boot loader is locked...I don't know of a method to unlock it. Please advise. Thank you:good:
Any further update to our device?
Did the update today and I can't get Foxfi connected. I had read somewhere that it worked.
Not happy.

Hi guys,
Just looking for advice/knowledge really - Scowered the net/xda but unable to find a clear answer.
I have a number of devices all on MMB29K.G930FXXU1BPKD and when I try to do software updates, it prompts that I need to connect to WIFI, issue is, I don't have wifi nor the option to tether another phone.
Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks for the reply.
The scenario is, I have no wifi, nor any internet connection other than the device.
I don't think its gonna be possible to do the update OTA as its gotta be my carrier thats restricting it.

Where in the world are you that you can't get access to a PC with a net connection for enough time to flash a ROM?
Friend, Library, College, School, everyone knows someone or somewhere with net access and a PC
or at least allow you to download what you need and copy to USB / DVD so you can flash at home on your own PC
