My understanding is that we won't have a bluetooth gamepad until we get the froyo source. What about a regular gamepad with, say, a usb to micro usb adapter? I'd love to be able to play roms with an actual gamepad.
Yea. When or did fascinate already have the official froyo update?

Bluetooth HID works on at least 2 roms, AOSP and MUI, so at the very least you can hook up a wiimote for gameplay.

As for usb host, I'm pretty positive that will require source before it can be worked on, but I believe it is functional on other members of the SGS line.
Hi every one after doing some searching around and not seeing anything related I decided to make this thread. Basically what am trying to do is use my HTC Amaze 4G or my ASUS Transformer as a usb blutooth adapter for my pc running windows 7 so i canconnect my ps3 controller or wiimote via bluetooth so i can use it as a game controller. I figure since i have both of these devices that are bluetooth capable i wouldnt have to buy a usb bluetooth adapter. So does anyone know how to do this or if theres some required app or driver? Thanks in advance

So i'm guessing there's no such way?
i was wondering if anyone has ever gotten the sixaxxis contorller app to work for the flyer/View? if so what did you have to modify? i have gotten it to work on my nexus s and i realize that something in sense prevents it form working on our devices but i was wondering if anyone has found a way to use it.
Anyone? I haven't found any solution myself
I really hope it's possible.

I know on the phone the main issue is sense. The BT stack HTC uses are not as good as those in vanilla Android. So bt devices suffer. That being said, the only decent controller I have seen people use with success on the 3d, is some $30 one sold by gamestop. If I can remember I'll link the post later.

thanks, I'll check it out. I also found out that Xbox 360 controllers work on honeycomb devices with a windows controller adapter. I ordered it online and will report back once tested.

From what I understand, the Flyer/EVO View's USB port doesn't output enough power to carry USB devices by themselves. You'll have to use a powered USB hub to connect that controller adapter. I have a Motorola Xoom Camera Kit ( basically a male MicroUSB -> Female USB adapter) and I can't get the Flyer to recognize anything, even an externally powered USB HDD, but it could also be the file system on it.

I have been using the PhoneJoy bluetooth controller and it works perfectly. It is essentially a bluetooth keyboard crammed into a PS2 controller but I haven't had any problems with it and it's only $35.
Hope this helps

Did you have to be rooted to use this controller? Did you need to use an app to use it as well?
---------- Post added at 09:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 PM ----------
Found out you don't have to be rooted and you can use app Bluez-IME. It is only $35 but shipping is $15 :| Kinda high but I guess it's just about the same price as a ps3 controller.
Yea but its not the same price as a PS2 controller as mentioned. See around if there are better deals first
I'm going to a part of Japan where there's more wired internet than wireless.
Can I connect my Galaxy S3 straight to wired internet? I have an OTG USB cable with which the S3 works fine with hubs, mice, keyboards and storage. I have a Hawking USB to wired ethernet (RJ45) adapter. When I plug it all together the adapter lights up green but nothing happens. Is this a software/driver issue and is there an app which overcomes it?
I'm NOT interested in lugging a netbook with me, or any stuff about tethering, or expensive 3G. I will take my Netgear wireless travel router WGR101 "hotspot" if I have to.
Mainly I just want to connect the S3 to an ethernet cable.
Thank you.
Mod
There might be a mod out there, i know the transformer tablets support this, but it will be intresting to find out...
My tablet connects to wired internet first time using its OTG connector and the Hawking USB/RJ45 adapter. It's a 7" Eken MB702C using Allwinner Tech Boxchip ARM Cortex™-A8 1.2GHz and running Android 2.3.4. If it can do it, why can't an S3? Is it hardware or drivers and rom? Thanks.
Have you tried using the usb tethering option?
It's purely drivers. USB-OTG has backward-compatibility to standard USB2.0 so it can use any USB-device it can provide enough juice for.
However the kernel has to recognize the USB device and load/activate the corresponding drivers. Then the uerland scripts configuring the (DHCP) IP-address and other settings have to kick in.
Of course ur right d4fseeker, but now what drivers to install? My kernel is 3.0.15 and I really want the eth0 (ethernet interface from cable) in backtrack 5 on my phone... so what can I do??? I have a usb OTG connector that works perfectly with mouses and joysticks but that isnt working with any of my two ethernet to usb (the ethernet to usb shows a light but on the s3 it doesnt show anything because the kernel doesnt recognize it) How to enable the recognition of the ethernet by the kernel ? WHAT DRIVERS?! Thank you.
PS: Does anyone know how to enable monitor mode on samsung galaxy s3 ive seen this post :
bcmon.blogspot.com.au/2012/09/working-monitor-mode-on-nexus-one.html?m=1
but it didnt work for s3 ...

you could use the command-line dmesg in Backtrack to show which module is loaded
it's hard to find and explain it on a forum but if you've got skype et al we could try it live

Take a look at the SiyahKernel (www.gokhanmoral.com). It allows you to add additional drivers to the kernel, if it has not already.
the problem is finding the proper driver and build it to specs.
Of course, thanks for the link

I want to do it on my S3, I am from India & want to connect my office Ethernet Cable to it to access my office site.
Can we do it thru skype, will you pls help me in this regard
my Kernel version is : 3.0.31 - 488302
I'm keen to see this progress too - but i wouldnt know where to start with compiling it into the kernel or inserting the mods. The drivers are present in the tablet builds - for example I have it working on the nexus 7 - so porting shouldnt be too hard. Just hope that one of the kernel dev teams has the time and interest to look at this......

You can buy an adapter on eBay, it is about the size of a pack of cards / cigarette pack. Plug the ethernet cable from the hotel into the unit and it then makes the adapter a wireless access point. I bought one about a year ago for exactly a similar reason - traveling to hotels where there is only wireless in the lobby, not the rooms. Unit cost be £15 / $22 - the link in my eBay account has now expired, but search away on eBay.

Here is a similar device - even cheaper than I paid - on eBay UK.

I intend to install Ubuntu on my phone and then use a docking station at work to run as a PC.
There are two issues I need some advice on from the good people at xda...
1) I've tried two different USB3 universal docks with an Ubuntu laptop but could not get the attached monitor (via displaylink) to work with Ubuntu 13.04. Ethernet, and USB devices (keyboard, mouse and flash key) work fine.
Anyone found a usb dock that works with Ubuntu 13.04 pre-release?
I tried these
Toshiba dynadock
http://us.toshiba.com/accessory/PA3927U-1PRP
Targus
http://www.targus.com/us/productdet...evel1=products&cp=&bannertxt=Docking Stations
2) If I can find a laptop dock that works with Ubuntu 13.04, I then want to push my luck a little further. What I am searching for is a suitable universal dock that WILL CHARGE a docked Ubuntu phone (connected via a USB OTG cable). The dock would need to be of the USB 3 variety so it can be used by laptop owners also. All of the universal USB laptop docks do not seem to charge the docked device (since they expect a laptop not a smartphone/tablet).
Some rough motivators for a business
Rough costs in Australia for us would be
Current User
Desktop User : Desktop plus smartphone (nexus) = $700 + $400 = $1100
Laptop user : Ultrabook plus smartphone = $1500 + $400 = $1900
Future User
Ubuntu phone plus docking station = $400 + $200 (say) = $600
Some of this saving, I would expect to go into Canonical support agreement & unlimited phone plans
Cheers,
Tony
I don't really understand what you're trying to say here. Assuming you're talking about Ubuntu for Android, the only way to get this to work as soon as the Ubuntu for mobile image is out, is by porting it to a Motorola smartphone that supports Motorola's dock like the one's Canonical uses in their. Or you could get a smartphone that has HDMI.
Thanks for the response
Actually, it's not the Ubuntu for Android I am referring to but the Ubuntu OS which is dockable as a full PC.
I have had no luck locating a USB universal dock with which the latest Ubuntu supports the inbuilt displaylink video adapter. Also, none of the docks seem to provide charging over USB to the host device, only the peripherals.

It's not even out yet so it's not a good idea to get a head start.
You're probably correct.
I'm assuming that the OS that boots on the phone is a full Ubuntu 13.04 kernel.
On that basis, I've been testing universal docks with my laptop running Raring Ringtail prereleases.
I expected they'd just work but so far not.
Thanks for your replies.

And the Nexus 7 has been a useful test also of the Canonical image for 13.04.
Using a USB OTG cable, I could see that the behaviour was consistent with that of a laptop on the universal dock. Ethernet and USB ports were passed through to the nexus 7 and operated as expected. The displaylink video support seems to be lacking at present.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I can completely see the merrit of your research, and I think you're going down the right path. I too will be looking at implimenting something similar at work, as it just makes sense! I think you are correct - working to find a dock that works with 13.04 on desktop/tablet will be of benefit for docking Ubuntu for Phones, especially the Nex7 as it's running ARM processor. I'll do some research time permitting myself, see if I can get anything working. I only have a targus USB 2.0 dock to play with currently though.
Some more information on this.
Apparently any USB3 docking stations consisting of the Displaylink DL-3000 series adapters DO NOT SUPPORT linux.
http://displaylink.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1748
It seems like the best bet is to plug a DL-195 series adapter into the USB hub of a DL-3000 based docking station and then your Ubuntu superphone should detect that.
http://displaylink.com/shop/adapters
This still needs to be confirmed by someone with access to a DL-195 Displaylink adapter.
Very disappointing.
get the minihdmi to hdmi adapter that has the extra hole for the power. I use that connected to my dock with bluetooth keyboard/mouse plugged into the TV running the ubunut via chroot.
Have you got a link to the one you purchased?

I think an MHL to HDMI adapter should do the trick. I picked one up off from Amazon for about $3. We'll see how it does when the Ubuntu Phone OS image is released for the Galaxy Nexus.
My BT keyboard, BT mouse and Samsung HDTV are just begging for some Ubuntu from my phone .
