Anyone use something like this in their car?
http://countrymilewifi.com/super-usb-wifi-antenna-3-waterproof.html
Could you connect it to phone + have phone connected to car charger? I could really use this around town !
That thing is basically a high-gain Wifi adapter. Completely unlikely to work on the phone, as the phone wouldn't be able to recognize the device; no drivers.

This is an all in one solution. Your computer does not need to have an internal WiFi card or antenna! In our test location, we only found two wireless connections with the typical 5 db antenna found on a standard router. With the Super USB WiFi Antenna we received six or seven. You can get much more distance if you want to put an additional WiFi Antenna on your router. 802.11b/g. Up to 54 Mbps. WPA and WEP encryption compatible. Weight: 1.8 oz. Size: 1.2" W x 9" L x 0.6" D. USB Cable: 15' L.

I'm sure you could get it working with the phone. Its already compatible with Linux:
Compatible with the following operating systems:
Microsoft Windows - 98, ME, 2000, XP, Vista, Vista x64, Windows 7 *
MAC - OS 10.3 - 10.5 (Not compatible with MacOS 10.6)
Linux <----- ****************
Is android capable of using the same drivers as desktop linux?
Edit: And honestly, I can't understand why you'd need this in the car? Personally, if I didn't want to use my phone's data connection for whatever reason, I'd buy a wifi hotspot with the carrier that has the best coverage in my area and use that.
I can turn on wifi hotspot I'm still not sure how to use it

Hello,
Here comes a noob question I guess. Is it possible by moding the nook tablet say with CW7 to use the usb stick in order to attach a usb stick that will give 3g internet? Similarly to what you do with a laptop when you need 3g capabilities.
I'd imagine one would rather use a portable hotspot isn't that pretty much the standard now-a-days?
Well, since I am will be using it in situations that the less I carry the better (i.e., borring army service) I would rather use the stick. Still I didn't know about the hotspot. Good to know they exist.
How would you connect the stick?
if you are carrying around a rooted android based smartphone you can always tether your nook to that for 3g
OMAP4430 CPU, whick Nook Tablet has, supports USB OTG, so could act as the host for 3g stick. However, there're many obstacles on that way:
1. There may be few USB ports in OMAP, not all having OTG capability, and it's unclear which is connected externally on NT.
2. I personally yet have to see a microUSB to USB female cable, if someone has a link, I'd appreciate it.
3. You most likely would need to recompile kernel to enable OTG support as well as drivers for 3g modems.
4. Would need 3g connection app on your Nook (suppose the easiest, as there should be few for Android).
So, it may be too complicated if you just look towards using it at once, but for should would be a fun hacking project ;-)
Thanks guys for the suggestions. I guess it did not occur to me the whole tethering deal (probably because nook is the my first android powered device). I guess I will go with that option once I get a new android phone.
I heard Nexus 7 had chance to connect 3G OTG, will the nook tablet have any chance?

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 :

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 did search but found older posts on ps3 controllers being compatible. Can I use an xbox controller on my rezound if rooted? If so what do I need to download and how? Thanks!
I could be wrong but I don't think it's possible.. Microsoft uses a different kind of wireless technology to connect their controlers.. not Bluetooth and not WiFi.. that being said I believe Microsoft keeps their wireless patent under lock and key. Would be awesome tho cuz I have neither a Wii or a ps3..

Famouscollin is correct; can't be used on the Rez, or any phone, unless your phone has an RF (besides bluetooth) receiver.
It is a form of Bluetooth, but can't transfer as much data as Bluetooth and doesn't use the same setup methods as Bluetooth.

apparently the Nexus 7 is compatible with the Microsoft Xbox 360 controller https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uq3tWODIm6g . so if you have a nexus 7, you can use the 360 controller.
Ok so in theory it could work but there are some requirements that are most likely impossible to meet but if you want to work at it you might be able to do it. If you can get a micro usb to standard usb adapter and get one of those wireless receivers for PC then you'd need to somehow get drivers to work with it which is pretty unlikely but perhaps it's possible. So while in theory it could be done it's not really practical, sorry.
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 .

HI
Just bought a cheap tablet a Asus Memo Pad not the HD one the one before.
Single core VIA cpu etc
So the first thing thats been bugging me is that i bought a RJ45 to USB adapter and it doesnt work on my tablet.
I turn off wifi then connect everything and nothing. Anyone knows why ?
The second is it worth it to root my tablet ? Even if its only to get rid of asus app´s ?
If i rooted would i be able to install Android 4.3/4.2 because i got the 4.1 version so the newer ones are better yes ?
Is there any kind of newbie guide to rooting this tablet ?
Thanks and sorry for all the questions and sorry if its on the wrong spot.
