[Q] USB Device?

Has anyone with 2.3.4 installed on tried using usb mouse or keyboard? Even usb flash drives? The 2.3.4 haves USB Host and Accessory Modes that theoretically allows that kind of things. You also need a microUSB to USB adaptor but you can make it if you have two spare cables. I am developing apps with external device connection and I would like to know this works due to the fact that I'm running 2.3.3 stock on my device.
Thank you.

A colleague of mine used a bluetooth mouse on his Samsung Galaxy S, at the time having 2.1-update1. You can try this option.

I don't need bluetooth devices, I need usb connection. Is far more reliable then bluetooth.

Think you need honeycomb or ics to use USB devices

This feature just work on devices that support USB On-the-go. don't try to make an app.
>> Please press Thanks:good: if you find this post useful <<

u need a USB Host enabled Hardware and Kernel to be able to use that.. it's not about old or new devices.. if it supports USB Host it will work. i am using USB keyboard on my Samsung i9100 (S II) and a chinese tab and it's working brilliantly. however it doesnt work on chacha for example.. however why would u use a USB keyboard what's the point of buying Chacha if u wont use it's keyboard no offense

[Q] How to install usb2net drivers on Galaxy Tab 10.1

I have been an I.T. support engineer for 15 years or so and love a challenge. Consequently my departement director gave me one to see if I could figure it out before our HQ I.T. could. It is annual review time so I naturally accepted the challenge.
Challenge - Connect an Android Tablet to a wired ethernet connection and run a speed test on the wired connection.
We have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (model GT-P7510 to be exact)
Android version - 3.2
Kernel Version - 2.6.36.3
USB Debugging mode is enabled
Unknown sources (install of non-Market apps) is enabled.
Purchased a Samsung EPL-1PL0BEGXAR USB Connection Kit for the Galaxy Tab 10.1
Purchased a USB RJ45 Ethernet 10/100 Network Lan Card Adapter
(cant post links yet but search for "New USB RJ45 Ethernet 10/100 Network Lan Card Adapter For Apad E11 Haipad")
When you connect the USB RJ45 device it is not recognized.
To ensure the USB was working I verified that a USB thumb drive was recognized and files could be accessed.
The USB RJ45 device came with a CD with drivers for various OS including what appeared to be Android as they had indicated on their website that this particular tablet could work with the device. (DRIVERS ATTACHED AS ZIP)
Apparently it may be a usb2net type device from what I could determine looking through the files.
As I am a complete novice at Linux, Android etc I did not know what to do with these files or how and where to copy them to on the Android Tablet.
I spent free time over the past couple of weeks looking through forums and even downloaded Android SDK Manager and read up on what adb was and was able to use a command prompt to browse the device folder structure.
So, as I have a crazy week and then off for xmas break I and am turning to the experts and asking for your advice.
Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated

usb2net GT-P7510
Hi,
I can see your post is quite old... but I'm in the same case :
"Looking for a way to connect my Galaxy tab 10.1 (GT-P7510) to a wired ethernet"
I have the usb2net cable (usb to RJ45) but this connection is not recognize by the GT-P7510 ... is there a way to update the firmware?
I've seen the the galaxy tab 2 recognize the ethernet connections.
If you or someone founded a way, could you explain please.
Thx a lot.

It is not possible on that model. Hardware does not support it so suggest you do not waste more time like I did

[Q] Possibility of ANT+ via USb OTG?

I currently have the Samsung Galaxy S2 which supports USB OTG, I'm trying to figure out a way to enable ANT+ for fitness apps. Their are several USB adapters such as the Suunto Movestick Mini. I was thinking I could hook up this usb stick and enable ANT+. Does anyone know if this is possible? I currently have ICS installed.
Has anyone done this on other USB OTG enabled phones?

anyone know of anything?

ANT+ via USB OTG
There was an officail anouncment about this from the ANT people the other day. With a siutable phone it should be now possible. I have made a release of my IpBike app today which in theory should work but I don't have a suitable device to test with so would be very interested in anyone getting it to work.
I would put some suitble linkes here but it looks like I can not. I have added some details to iforpowell.com

I've just upgraded my SGS2 to ICS and connected a Suunto Movestick Mini Ant+ adapter using an USB OTG cable in order to be able to use my fitness sensors (HR belt and speed/cadence sensors from Garmin) and it works like a charm thanks to the great softwares created by ifor.
But be careful because after rooting my phone the new kernel was unable to handle the ANT USB driver and therefor it stopped working. After a few attempts i found that using a Siyah kernel (currently v4.0.1) will restore the ability to use again my Ant adapter and sensors.

Android Auto on Galaxy S7 not working with Pioneer AVH-X8700BT

i have a Pioneer AVH-X8700BT and it is both IOS Auto & Android Auto compatible.
Problem is it works fine with an iphone 6s but when i tried it with my new samsung galaxy s7 nothing works!
i tried using both Android Auto and the Mirrolink mode but both nothing.
Tried restarting both car device and phone but nothing.
Also tried with a samsung galaxy s6 and also nothing.
Any ideas?

Same issue here.
My S7 won't connect via Android Auto either. (VW Golf)

Do you have a setting inside the radio for pairing? At least with my radio you have to activate pairing to see the radio

Had the same problem with my S7 Edge from Verizon with my Pioneer 8100NEX. Finally figured out that I have to change the USB options to get it work. After you connect the USB cable, pull down the notification drawer and look for "Connected for charging" notification". Tap that and change "Use USB for" to "Transferring media files". Android Auto worked after that for me.
I didn't have to do this with my S4. Unfortunately for the S7 I have to do this every time I connect my phone. I found this thread because I'm looking for a way to make it the default but haven't had any luck yet.

I had the same problem. Thanks for posting this. Now I also am looking to set the default functionality. Crazy to have to manually switch this every time.
Thanks,
kt

If this works for you to connect - the default functionality can be found under developer options. You can manually force charging, MTP etc there. USB debugging - off / USB configuration - MTP
This is a known official marshmallow issue not isolated to GS7 , LGG5 has same issue listed in google support page. some devices (like my GS7) will not connect after switching USB connection options. I have tried every mode and mine will not work - need a more advanced workaround. I also can't root phone because of corporate network restrictions.

Anyone have an update on this? I have the same issue using Galaxy S6 Edge Plus. I've enabled the developer options and enabled USB Debugging and MTP for the USB connection type with no success. I also can't change options with the connection type in the notification panel.

My S7 Edge Duos seemed to require the disabling of Car Mode as it was interfering with AA's connection. It's a default Samsung piece of unneeded. You can download "Package Disabler Pro for Samsung" from the Playstore. It will allow you to disable apks and stubs without root. I disabled Car Mode and now AA works with the Pioneer 8100 I have. the S7 worked fine with the wife's '16 Accord and AA which was my sticking point. I guess the Pioneers support Car Mode and Mirrorlink so it confuses the hell out of the deck. It's worth the 0.99 cents to see if this works for you. You can also disable all the other bloatware you don't want with it. So it's kind of a win/win for a buck.

Hi I have a Pioneer AVH X8890bt and I want to connect my s6 edge to appradio, however, everytime i plug my phone to the usb it gets connected to android auto, Could anyone guide me as to how to establish a connection. Also, there is a HDMI port at the back of my system and I have learnt that to connect a samsung device you need miracast dongle, so if I buy a dongle will i be able to use the touch function of my car audio or everytime I will have to be dependent on my phone. Please advice.

Lenovo Tab 2 A10-70F with Carlinkit Carplay dongle--problem

My Lenovo Tab 2 (6.0 Marshmellow stock, unlocked, not rooted) refuses to work with my latest acquisition (Carlinkit Carplay dongle from Aliexpress). The wired plus wireless dongle works on any android above 4.0 and I've tested it on phones from Android 5 to 7 without a problem.
However with my Tab 2 (which I was going to install in my car as a handsfree and navigation unit paired with my phone), it simply refuses. One has to install an app called Autokit (address on vendor's page in Aliexpress) on Android device. When I connect my phone via wireless, it attempts many times and either fails and starts all over, or the screen goes blank (with phone saying it's in carplay mode), or gives warning "The navigation machine [i.e. my tablet] does not support current settings. Please disconnect your phone and enter the Settings page to enter compatible mode."
In settings page I have three "working modes"--speed, fluency and compatible. I understand them to be resolutions: full HD, HD and lesser (VGA?). I get this message on both speed and fluency. In compatible mode, I briefly see the screen loading before it hangs and disconnects.
If I attach phone with dongle with a cable, the app does not react at all and still goes on wifi and blueooth looking for a device.
However in other phones I've tested on, I've had no problem with either of the three modes, or cable phone-to-dongle connect.
Questions:
1. Is it possible to upgrade/ change settings on Lenovo Tab 2 to accept my dongle or is it a lost cause?
2. I understand the dongle has its own wifi and bluetooth, and doesn't rely on cable. Therefore, it must be some USB protocol in the tab which is causing difficulties (as dongle works fine on other phones). Is this logical?
3. If so, there ought to be a better way than disposing my trusty Tab 2 and shopping for a used tab which will accept my dongle?
Thanks.
