Hi all.
I followed most of the activity around here for the past 5 monsths or so, and noticed several topics about the TD's internal FM radio for possible RDS/TMC usage. All without much luck.
Recently I bought a standalone TMC adapter (Navigon Trafficbox) with mini-USB connector. However I don't seem to get the thing to function at all. iGO 8 doesn't detect it, iGO 2006 and MioMap 3.2 detect it even without plugging it is (-_-) and Navigon Mobile 7 only goes for Bluetooth adapters.
Does anyone have any experience with standalone adapters on TD, know whether the USB port is mapped to a virtual COM port (and if so: which) or how to sniff the USB port to see whether the adapter is even transmitting data?
I do not believe diamond has a usb-host service to even let devices connect via that port.
I think only a bluetooth tmc reciever is usable.
I have a UG802 and would like to connect it via a wired connection for better speed than what I get with wireless. I have a USB/ethernet adapter, but ethernet is not detected when I plug it in, even though the ethernet light is on on the adapter. I tried manually switching on ethernet in the settings, but the switch just slides back to "off" after a second, presumably because it is not detecting the network. Any ideas?
Thanks
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? I tried another USB/Ethernet dongle, same result. I have no idea if there is a "right one" or not or how to find it if there is a "right one."

Turn off wifi
if it a pre built system and you just installed windows there should be a mb driver cd that have the Ethernet drivers on it. if not you have to go to your mb vendor web page or the ethernet vendor web page and download the drivers if there not installed yet.
I recently purchased the Lenovo S6000L tablet for the purpose of traveling. I wanted a large screen (10.1) tablet that could do the basic functions of a laptop, without having to lug around my 17.3 inch HP laptop to and from work/etc. My issue is, I work for a company that will not allow us to access their WiFi (security reasons), but we can use any LAN. I purchased an OTG cable and a USB to Ethernet converter. To my surprise, my Lenovo tablet wouldn't recognize the converter, thus, not allowing me to access the internet via the OTG cable. After that failure, I decided to root my tablet, which I did. Even with the root I can't seem to tweak the tablet to allow the internet connection bridge to work. Being P/O, I decided to go a step further by flashing a custom ROM to the tablet in hope that a different ROM would read and react to the OTG setup, but I'm unable to find a ROM that would work. Well their you have it, this is my big issue. Even though those are the steps I've taken or are willing to take, doesn't mean It's the only thing I'm looking to do, I'm open to anything that will work. So I desperately ask, does anyone have or know of a solution for me to use a RJ45 ethernet cable on this S6000L Lenovo tablet?
P.S. I've hooked up the USB to Ethernet to my PC and it worked, so it's not faulty. I've hooked up a flash drive to my tablet via the OTG cable and that worked also, so the OTG cable works as well.

you cannot use like that because to use internet from other device to android you must use reverse tethering method and it can be done only from connecting it to a laptop or pc
so yyou cant use internet directly from lan cable to your tab
I don't want to use it from another device.

I'm not using it from another device, I'm only using it and want to use it from a router and/or directly from a modem. I only hooked the adapter to my laptop once just to verify the adapter was working.

yes i understood your question
i said there is no way to use internet in tab from lan cable
The Nexus 7 tablet does it.

Corrections for the above reply: I misread your reply. In theory, reverse tethering is the same method. A source that contains internet(PC) that you bridge to your tablet and gives it internet. The Nexus 7 is one tablet that allows you to bridge a RJ45 to the tablet for LAN access, and their are others. My best guess is it's an software issue that Lenovo has blocked, but I'm looking for a way around it. I don't know if they added anything specific to the stock that is killing that use or is it just that the adapter I purchased isn't compatible with what I believe is Linux based software. As I said, I will travel any path to victory, even if I have to flash software that's used on the Nexus 7, if possible.
Sorry for the delay, I'm at work and people keep coming to me.
Houston, I believe I have a solution to my problem!!
I have no clue why I didn't think about it earlier but all it may take to remedy my issue can be spelled with one word, Portable Wireless Router. Ok, that's 3 words, but who cares! I don't. Whenever I'm in a situation where LAN is available but WLAN isn't, I figure all I would have to do is to plug the LAN into my soon to be purchased TP-LINK TL-WR702N 150Mbps Wireless N Nano Router. And BOOM! my own private WiFi hotspot.
i just got the surface pro docking station and hooked it up , everything is working except the ethernet . it first finds connection then starts to indentify and then it keeps saying unidentified network. i have updated the latest surface ethernet adapter driver. whats going on?
i can connect with an usb to ethernet adapter no problem and my other comps are also connected so its not my router/ modem . its the ethernet connection on the surface pro docking station. ps, the usb to ethernet adapter works while plugged into the docking station.
Does it physically function while claiming to be an unidentified network? My laptops ethernet port also labels it as an unidentified network but works perfectly fine.
no i can not connet to the net via the rj45 connection but like i said when i connect with the rj45 connected to a usb adapter the internet works fine , i dont know what i m missing here, i figured, plug the rj45 connector in and it would connect. what has the usb adapter got that the docking station ethernet connector dosent.
Hello,
I have a Mekede M500S (octacore, 4gb/16gb) and I am generally happy with it. But I have a weird problem. Carlink connects nicely with my phone (Sony Xperia 10 ii) using wireless Android Auto. Until I connected a Samsung SSD to one of the USB ports. After that carlink doesn't connect anymore. And after trying carlink also the access to the SSD is gone. Without the SSD carlink is absolutely fine. And without using carlink, the SSD is working fine. What is causing this behaviour? I use a startech ATA to USB adapter for connecting the SSD. I have tried all three USB ports of the headunit, all the same result
