Hi guys, wonder can anyone help me. I purchased a dock for the G Tablet from a company in Chine a few months ago. I only got round to trying it out recently and the results where not good.
The dock charges the G Tablet when the PSU is connected to it, but that is all that it does. The USB port does not work, the pens light up but the G Tab does not see them.
The network port does not do any thing when a cable is plugged in.
The HDMI also does not do anything.
I have tried it with several different versions of Android including the T&T that was on the G Tab originally.
Am I missing something ? Do I need to install certain software of certain Abroid version ?.
It wouldn't usually bother me but the dock cost me over £35 and I do not want to purchase another until I am sure this one does not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS Keep up the great work, I love this site and have tried almost every new OS that has been put on it
No specific software should have to be installed. It's supposed to just work, so I'm thinking that it's bad hardware.

it2Steve did a very detailed review of this dock. The thread has been around for almost a year and has a lot of information if you take some time to read up on it.

Hello,
I bought an external keyboard that connects via the mini usb port. It didn't work, but found a suggestion:
When I first connected my adapter that came with my tablet to the keyboard adapter I was very disappointed that nothing happened. I tried several different browser pages, but nothing happened. I read reviews on here and noticed on about that someone mentioned they changed their USB settings and their keyboard finally started working. So, I immediately went to my Settings, Advanced Settings, and then USB BUS MODE and changed it from DEVICE mode to HOST mode and VOILA - the keyboard immediately started functioning

I tried to find where to change the usb settings to host but couldn't find the area. Is there anywhere I can find this? I am using the AOPK Rom. Thanks for any help!
OTG not in any of the Nook Tablet yet
OTG is not implemented yet on the stock nor current cm10 roms based on what I have asked in this forum for Nook Tablet. I know you can do this with the new nooks that have monochrome display. May I ask where did you read this article?

Were you reading the review for the Nook Color with working usb otg? It does work for that tablet, not the NT though.
Sent from my AT100 using xda premium
I wasn't looking specifically for how to get it working on the tablet, just looking in general for how to do it in android. Hopefully they implement the otg soon
I just downloaded the new cm10 (snappy and no more reboot/sdcard lost errors!!) but there wasn't anything about the type of usb connection in that one either...
Am I not going to be able to use this keyboard? Will I have to break down and buy a price blue tooth one????

At this time the NT does not have usb otg on any ROM, it may in the future, but if and when is not known at this time. The NT will never have bluetooth, Never. It has been well documented why, do a search and read. So a BT keyboard will never work. Is it really that hard to type with your thumbs?

It isn't really a matter of difficulty, it is a matter of duration. I didn't want a full laptop and I like the android os so wanted to try a tablet with a keyboard for my mobile computing needs. I am do a good amount of typing (chapters for novels and such) and prefer a keyboard. I was using my phone before and it was a lot slower than what I can do with a keyboard and got tiring after an hour or so. It isn't detrimental that I can't use a keyboard, just desired.

I bought a Toshiba Thrive 32gb off craigslist for $200. I am now running CM10. I bought it for those exact reasons. It has full sized usb, full sized hdmi, micro usb, full sized sd card expandable to 128 gb, bluetooth capable, gps, 10.1" screen. I use a mouse through usb, bluetooth keyboard, and I hook it up to my TV or
computer monitor and is performs really well as a portable computer with little cost involved.

lol, after spending 150 on the tablet I think that I am going to skip buying another, however I have started looking at other virtual keyboard options and will be trying out a few to see if they can fill the gap until/if they activate the usb otg. Thanks for the info and I will reply if I find a keyboard that I like enough to be useable as a touch typer!!
I recently "upgraded" from the Motorola Atrix 4G to the LG Optimus G. Wanted to know if there is a way to have audio out from the micro-usb in a manner similar to the Motorola car dock where the usb charging also conveys audio to a 3.5 mm plug. Currently I am using a vanilla dock where I have to repeatedly plug in a 3.5 mm audio cable and usb. It would be great to have only one cable connected. Any ideas ???

Same boat as you. (Even came to this phone from the Atrix )
I have not been able to figure anything out so far. Right now, I am using the Infuse car dock, which has audio out on the dock itself, but it will not work with the LGOG.
I really miss the ability to just dock the phone in one step without having to connect any additional wires.
Looking for an answer to the same question. I'm hoping it might just be a software tweek. Otherwise I'll use Bluetooth to output audio to my car, but I'd rather not.
Have been thinking about the same thing. Picked up the OG last weekend coming from the Atrix 4G. I have the car dock and was hoping that the base/craddle pins just launched the car dock app. and the charger/audio was in the combo cable that came with the card dock. No such luck. The combo cable does not even charge with it connected directly to the OG. So now I am thinking of breaking down the dock and coming up with a way to connect the broken down parts directly to the phone. I have a spot in my car that will work perfectly without the dock so I really don't care about the dock/craddle.
Atrix 4G ran a specialized software when it's put in a dock or the laptop docking station. LGOG doesn't have that special software. I don't think Motorola will port the special software over to LGOG or any other phone manufacturers.
Your best bet is LG will implement their version of this and release it for the OG. I won't hold my breadth for this to happen.

I disagree.
The phone comes with a custom version of LG's car home app. (Correct me if I am wrong).
I would not be surprised if we have an official OEM car dock available in the future.
Also, how are you guys expecting to fit a LGOG into an Atrix dock????
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
I don't need the dock to place the phone in my car. So I was thinking of breaking down the plastic and using the "plug/connector" that just uses the pins to the USB connector on the phone. I did not think it was software related since I was running CM10 along with the app "CarHome Ultra".
But now that I think aobut it, I'm not sure the hardware will work since I'm sure the pinouts will be different between the Moto and LG. I don't care about the auto launch...even though that is a nice feature to have. I would just like to have my phone charging while driving and take calls via the AUX when needed.
Audio out through USB will not work
So, I emailed LG asking about support for audio out to which they replied:
------Reply to Your Inquiry-------
The only way to get audio out from a USB is if the Optimus G supports this which it does not I'm afraid.
Audio out is not an option, Jonathan.
I hope this information helps and should you have ANY future concerns or questions, then please don't hesitate to email us again or PREFERABLY call LG toll free at 1-800-243-0000 anytime, day or night to speak with a Live Representative!
Thank you again for contacting LG Electronics, it was my pleasure to serve you, many thanks for being an LG Customer, and be blessed, Jonathan!

That is stupid in my opinion. Perhaps there is a hack then...

Do you have the link where you emailed them?
I would like to ask if there is an official car dock in the works.
Has anyone tried a USB dac? I don't have one, but I've read about people using them on other devices such as the gs3. However, I think you need to have USB otg functionality, which I thought someone else said isn't natively available on the AT&T lgog.
I hope to get the lgog this weekend and would also like a car dock solution like my atrix 2.

Well coming from the Captivate, audio out via USB was originally promised by Samsung but never came to fruition. Eventually someone figured it out and wrote into some kernels. I'm sure there is a way to do it for this phone as well. Just need someone willing to give it a shot. Although development for this phone seems to be lacking in comparison to the Captivate so it may be a while before this comes if ever.
USB audio is supported in jellybean. I think a dev could make it work with ics.
Hoping when jellybean is out I can hook up my D12 via USB (or even just my fiio e11 with a microusb LOD).
the sg3 guys are hooking up all kinds of amp/dac setups with great results.
I would imagine that it is very possible. The mini USB on the LGOG supports an hdmi out with a simple adapter. Seeing how hdmi sends audio it would seem that the LGOG has the hardware to send audio. I'll see what other info I can find.

I'm sure this have been covered, although after doing a couple of days of research I can't seem to find the answer, so sorry in advance if this has been gone though already.
I'm on cyanogenmod kernel version 3.4.66-cyanogenmod-geaa7c91 with android version 4.3.1 and my dock doesn't work. won't charge or anything. While reading I found everyone had this issue when samsung upgraded to jellybean. So I assumed rooting-flashing was in order. I got it all done and still nothing. Also, galaxy s4 will not dock to it either. I'm guessing my dock might be faulty, although as a new unit I'd imagine it should work fine.
Do I need to run a different kernel/rom? Revert back to ICS stock samsung crap?
I'm not really worried about which rom/kernel I'm running. I'm just trying to dock this to my tv and run xbmc from it. It's a spare phone and I figured this was a better idea than buying a cheap computer to do the job, also much smaller.
If someone could answer my question here, or point me in the correct direction that would be great.
Thanks in advance.
So I got this Motorola ET1 tablet that my company was going to throw away to recycling because we are moving.
The problem is that this is an enterprise tablet and its locked with android 2.3.4 Gingerbread. I cant upgrade it and it doesnt even have google play so I cant install anything
Do you guys know how could I upgrade it to a more recent version of Android? Or at least how could I install a program to watch movies? Right now I cant play any of them
Thanks

Sadly I have been working this too. Much to my extreme dismay Motorola will not give up the OS update without a service agreement. As far as the installation what I have done is just sideload everything that needs to be put on there. I was hoping some kinda of leak or something would have come to light but, no devs ever touched it.

were you able to get a regular charger for the tablet? So far the only thing we have is this big craddle that charges 6 tablets at the same time but I cant use that
We have a fleet of these set up with several different configurations. I quick google search brought up a page called bar code discount dot com that has most of the same stuff we use (but this forum will not let me post links). I have worked with the usb cable charger, the single tablet dock, the 4 tablet dock, and the 4 extra battery dock.
For the cable, you need a charging brick, I think item PWRS-14000-148R. The cable we have look like item 25-153149-01R. The brick plugs into the cable a few inches from the USB connector. The USB connector need not be plugged into anything, but can be used in flashing the rom from a computer (or you can do that from a micro-sd).
The single tablet dock (item DC1000-1000U) uses the same charging brick.
I have not used the above web page nor am I associated with them in any way. But the parts you need are out there.

It is also true that stock, the et1 has a usb port on the top edge. We replace this port with a bar code scanner, but I wounder if that can be used to change it...
Hi All,
I have a U25GT-C4W running Android 4.4.2 KitKat. I have managed to root the tablet.
The tablet has a separate charging DC 5V in jack as well as a USB Micro OTG connector. It connects to PC fine and I am able to detect it through adb.
It is also able to detect OTG devices connected to it such as a Keyboard, Mouse and a USB Stick/Flash Drive.
Out of all the China tablet clones that I have tested, this one has a peculiar behavior. See picture attached to understand this behavior.
If I connect DC 5V plug to tablet, tablet starts charging.
Then when I connect a USB Mouse, the tablet STOPS charging after 5 seconds (Not normal behavior).
Then when I remove the USB Mouse, tablet starts charging again (after 10 seconds).
I have tested other tablets with separate DC 5V jack and they do not show this behavior. This is not normal.
Tablets I have tested:
ValuePad VP112
King's Hong Kong H704A
When these above tablets are charging with DC 5V, and then I connect USB Mouse, these tablets do not stop charging like the Cube U25GT is doing.
Has anyone else experienced this type of issue? Has anyone solved it? Are there any custom kernels/system that I could use for this to solve the problem? I don't usually post questions on the forum because I usually find the answers I need after searching for a while, but this has been a baffling situation.
Hopefully someone will answer. Let me know if you have any questions about my issue.
Thanks.
hulp us please
I have the same tablet, and have same problem.
I need to solve this problem, because its important for me.
i use this tablet as a part of multimedia system in my car.
so i cant plug any device via otg to tablet
Please help us...
Sorry for my bad English
Go for another tablet.
Hi,
The short version is: No. I couldn't solve the problem.
I spent about 2 to 3 weeks trying to solve this issue. I started from garnering information on kernel sources for the MTK tablets (the SoC which the Cube tablet is based on), trying to find the source code for it, compiling it and flashing it to the tablet. I tried contacting the people at cube-tablet.com. I spent a lot of time explaining them the problem hoping they would give me some indication as to why this was not working. I spent a lot of time contacting people in various forums who had some exposure to the Cube tablet. But that proved fruitless as well.
In the end, I just gave up. We just experimented with a various other tablets and settled with one that charged as well as worked with OTG.
Thanks.

It was disappointing for me. The whole project was built on this tablet by me.
You can see from the photos below:
There's an interesting variable in build.prop:
# USB Charge only function
ro.sys.usb.charging.only=yes
Have you tried to change it to "no"?
