Tablets W/SIM card add On and General ?s W/Tablets

Ok so my ?s are what tablest can have the add on to use you sim card? I seen a table adams notion ( something like that) that was able to use a 3g USB modem. Has any one tried that, and how is it?
I know the Black Berry has that option about adding the bridge which is like a tethering. But could you just use any table that has a usb port and get a 3g usb modem to put your sim card into and use the data of that.

What about adding VOIP? to tablets and how hard it is to add if you can, Over all how could you really use your tablet to make and receive calls?. Besides using skype, and whats good for conference calling/ meeting app:
Now for tethering, So lets say I buy the galaxy 10.1 (wifi) and I want to @ least have the option to tether what is the easy way going about it? IE: I have a rooted htc inspire which will allow me to tether. But if someone does not have a rooted phone what other way other then Hotspots that they can use, or can the use their mobile air card thats usb IF their tablet has USB slot, and if supports the drive to be installed? But also what if they had an Iphone and a android tablet they can still use tether does not matter iphone or not?.
Samsung Galaxy 10.1 any way to add more memory I have been looking and I know its still new but is their something that its an "adapter" to use for the micro sd card.
Also on that not lets say you have a Android tablet and you have Google TV, now I know the google tv has android market and you can transfer apps and etc etc.. Can you use the tablet to control like direct tv I seen the app for it but for tablet usage. And has any you use the google tv and how do you like it what can you do with the market place, I know you can buy apps and send it to you phone and it should work the same way with tablets, Correct me if Im wrong lol.. Just looking for other Info on the use of Googel TV and using tablets.
I know Samsung All share (http://www.samsung.com/global/allshare/pcsw/index.html) works nice what I heard. But its limited to samsung products. Has anyone used that before and how is it.
Thanks for any info, and thanks for sharing ideas .

Mods can we move this to the general tablet area.

Possible to use IP camera in car with mobil hotspot?

So I am installing a htc flyer tablet into my cars dash to use as navigation/entertainment etc..
I was lookign around for anyway to have a rearview camera display on the tablet but have come up empty.
Im wondering though. If I took a wireless IP camera and installed in the car and figured out the power issue. Could I then turn on my phones mobil hotspot and then use a ip camera app on the tablet to view the camera?
Not sure if the camera would connect to internet with phone the same way as a router.
Anyone know?

IP Cam
I use IP Cam Viewer
I use it in my home to keep an eye on my security cameras when I'm gone.
Your problem will likely be port-forwarding past the mobile hotspot... not sure how it's set up but I did accomplish it once, in a Sprint hotspot device.
You have several "if's" there but I think you could make it happen. The good thing is that you can test it for free and registration of the app is only a few dollars.

I would be interested to know if this works as well. I'd like to monitor my horses back in the trailer. I assume the camera would get a local ip address from wireless tether. I wonder could this local address be used in a web browser or app like ipcam viewer. someone has to have tried this. guess I could by a cheap ip camera and try it but, it would be nice to know before wasting any money.

Its possible to make Foscam IP cameras to broadcast and connect via Adhoc. Doesn't hurt that they run of 5V at 2 A. That lets you use a usb cable off of ebay and cigarette charger for power. I also picked up an FI9821W, SDCard and 10000maH battery pack with 2A port off of amazon for a UPS sort of battery backup and buffer, we'll see how that works out for a while. Too bad eye-fi doesn't work. Honestly, doesn't see too practical in my mind, we'll see. For extra points though, noticed that the bottom has a hookup for a mount you can use on your dash, windshield, or air vents.

screen mirroring

I am mainly interested in this app for the purpose of screen mirroring. I use the Torque app while in my vehicle, which also has a touchscreen Windows 8 computer. I am searching for an effective solution to mirror the screen. Since this will be used while traveling I will have to use the phone WIFI tether to enable the connection.
Does Airdroid offer a USB tether option? It would be great to have this. My monitor only has a VGA connection. If it had an HDMI connection I could just plug in a cable from the phone but it does not. I am not really worried about the FPS rate as I am not watching videos from the phone, and the lag isn't really an issue either....
Thanks

I've moved your post to this new thread.
AirDroid does offer USB tether option, just follow these steps:
1) Connect your Android to your computer with a USB cable.

2) Enable USB tethering. The detailed steps may vary for different devices, but should be similar: Go to Settings> WIRELESS & NETWORKS> MORE> Tethering & portable hotspot and check the box next to USB tethering.
3) Open AirDroid on your device, go to Tools tab, and press Tethering. A new AirDroid url like “http://192.168.42.129:8888” will be displayed.
4) Visit the full url above on your computer web browser to start using AirDroid.
You can find it in our help center http://help.airdroid.com/customer/portal/articles/1296187-how-to-use-airdroid-without-wi-fi-or-other-network-connection

If you don't care about fps, then TeamViewer might be what you are looking for. They offer screen mirroring, but it is really laggy and way to slow to play game on, but for torque it might do the trick
Message has been Baconized

Teamviewer will be a functional solution as a base, but I would wonder if the interface will be sufficient. It's gesture controlled with a mouse-style format. If you need to interact you may well find it difficult to drive and control the unit and maintain the focus necessary to drive safely.
I don't know enough about Torque or your specific needs in regard to it to make a good assessment but do try it as Gormsen suggested and please post back some thoughts and/or details so others in your situation or similar have some info to go on. I would imagine as someone thinking about implementing your type of setup having some input before dropping significant cash on it would be tremendously helpful
Good luck..

Question Any FYT units that supports TV module?

Hi, I am currently using the MTCD Dasaita PX6 unit which has a TV module that plugs directly into one of the rear connector.
I can use the TV app and also switch channels from the touch screen giving it a very integrated experience.
The TV module is only power-on automatically when the TV app is launched thus some power saving there.
Am looking to upgrade to an FYT unit but so far none of them seems to support a TV module. Not looking at RCA in kind where there is no integration and can't switch channels using the touch screen.
Does anyone knows of any?

I don't have a TV module, but I do something a little different. It may or may not be suitable for your situation. I believe this may be better for North America as I believe the coverage in Europe is a little better for TV signals.
At home, I have a network connected TV tuner. I get over the air network channels that I can view on any network connected device if there is an app that can access the TV tuner. It's an HDHomerun tuner. It has two tuners built in and can transcode to different resolutions/quality levels. It's an older model HDTC-2US.
At home, I view using 1080p while on the road, I access it at 240p. This is to reduce data usage, although I have an unlimited data plan. Sometimes it drops out when in areas of no network data coverage. I VPN into my house and then access the channels through VLC. HDHomerun has an app but it only works within the house network...VPN doesn't work with it. Haven't figured out how make it work outside of the house. The HDHomerun provides a DLNA source so that any DLNA client can access it. At home, I use Kodi to access it. Here's a screen capture of VLC and the channel list:

Where are you located?

Hi mastrv thanks for your suggestion but I think it's more complicated than what I originally has.
The closest option at this moment I can think of is to have the TV output via RCA In and I have to use the separate TV remote to switch channels.

Do you think a usb to vga connection would work?

Let me explain, I have a cathode ray television, a cube one, and I would like to adapt it as a second monitor. So I'm thinking of buying an adapter to convert its signal, the problem? my pc doesn't have another extra connector for a new monitor. After searching, I discover that there are cables that adapt usb to vga, and I more or less trace what you can see in the image. My doubts are, would this set work? regarding the USB to VGA adapter, I have not seen many tests on the internet of this working outside laptops, but it has a usb 3.0 connection, could it work in my computer?
I don't really care about the imput lag, I just want to know if it would work or because of the power load or something like that it wouldn't work.

Nice artwork. It should work.
It depends on your system recongnizing the "USB to VGA", which is an external video card.
You could do it with a internal video card if you have the slots.

I do not understand. The usb to vga adapter I saw was a cable, and to use it you had to install their respective drivers. My pc supports video cards, but because of my budget I can't get one yet. If I had one, I would just look for an hdmi to rca adapter.
Thanks for your answer, by the way.

Well, that little thingy with a plug has a frame buffer and all the things that a video card must have.
It's just that instead of connecting over PCI it connects over USB.

Oh, I get it. Thanks for your help

I'll point out the obvious that you can pick up a used LCD monitor for $10 at any charity shop.
The image will be better and you won't need the VGA to RCA adapter.
