I have a TP on the way. I travel regularly for work and not always accommodated in places that have tvs (tv signals yes, actual tvs no), and was wondering if anyone has successfully got a usb DVB-T tuner to work on the Prime? (i will most likly be rooting it within a few days of receiving it, so that does not worry me ) I have had a look on these forums and have found no definitive answer.
Any help much appreciated, and i am willing to help any way i can
Bump. Does anyone know if it has been done?
That would be soooo nice! ;-))
i also will be happy to have it

Hi all
I have just seen some GPS units that have a USB interface. Can anyone speculate whether it would be possible to hack off the USB end of the lead and adapt it successfully to be used for the XDA??
Sounds like a daft question really, but there are enough die hard hardware gurus here to be able to do this!!!
Thanks
I have been reading this forum for a few weeks before and after I bought my G-Tab. (Owned about 3 weeks now.) I have purchased a case with USB keyboard. I am disabled and have trouble with small keys, hence the keyboard. A mouse would help also. Could someone recommend where to get the correct USB Hub & mouse that will work so I can use the keyboard & mouse?
PS. I read everyone of your great comments. It really helps us newbies!!
THANKS,
Carol
i hope someone corrects me if I'm wrong but i do not believe the any kernels have mouse capabilities right now. I have been off the forums for a few weeks but i assume nothing has changed. Sorry... wish i had better news.
Hello!
I’ve to make an Android high school project and I’ll need to send signals through the USB cable (the interpretation of these will be another project) so be able to send 1 or 0s will be enough I guess…
To get that, I’d need the USB Host mod or the Accessory one?
I was thinking to buy this tablet for testing that has USB Host and 2.3.4 Android version but I’m not completely sure if it will be compatible….
Thank you very much!
Please....
no one?....
sadly, with the cheap 'Chinese knockoff' tablets, there's pretty much no way to know something like that.
I say get an old android phone with at least some dev support off Craigslist or something for your problem. An OG Droid (for example) would have more than enough supports and preexisting hacks for you to be able to program the USB port a little.
Thank you strongly. I supposed that all, but my intentions were to get "send that signals" using an non-customed ROM and a "cheap" Android device (I can't no waste to much money on this)
Read in the specifications USB OTG made me think that will be posible to control USB...
Anyway, would you know the difference between USB Host and Accessory?
Thank you very much!

^that should help explain it.
Thank you, I have read before but the only difference I saw was the power source location....:S
I wanted to reply to this post but can't because I haven't made ten posts.
I've been reading up a bit on the BT thing, and was wondering how reasonable it would be to look into replacing the wireless module.
Even though these modules are made for OEM designs they can be bought from places like mouser. I don't think I would be able to get the datasheet from RFM since they ask to request it, and let you sign a NDA with lots of questions.
Has anybody been looking into this option seriously? I don't really know a lot about the software part of this operation, but wouldn't mind looking into the HW part.
As sidenotes:
* has anybody used the UART port used initially for hacking the device for other purposes such as controlling external hardware, or is this out of the question?
* Any chance the NT would get USB host connection somehow? Is this something that is currently being looked into or just not feasable?
regards
Hi,
* @AdamOutler has been the one using UART as far as i know, so if you have questions about it you should PM him (he's the man)
* I think devs are trying to first get Bluetooth working before USB host, i know in the nook color is possible and im sure they have it in their to-do list but will take sometime. one step at the time. If you want to know about the bluetooth issue they are having then check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1554956 and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1553040

Hi Veronica,
The post I refer to is in one of the threads that you link to.
The chip/module in the NT is the WL1270, which (according to the manufacturer), just isn't capable of BT. The WL1271 has that capability, hence the question about desoldering the module in the NT and swapping it with it's sister that has BT capability...
Or I really should have missed something...
Ive just ordered a smart dock for my S3 so that I can use it with my TV, wireless air mouse, hard drive and wireless xbox controller.
Now the final thing I want to do is run XBMC for PVR software, but cannot find a definitive answer about a tuner that will work with my S3.
Im a new user so I cant link to the one I have but its ebay item number 200828623654. Its made for an android powered smart box but will it work with the s3 aswell.
Or does anyone know of any that will work.
Cheers
Rich
Have I done something wrong in my post or is it just that nobody knows the answer?
All I can find through loads of google searches are a couple of expensive tuners that only work with their own inbuilt mini aerials and others that will connect to an outdoor aerial via a coax cable but they are made for specific android smart tv boxes.
Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can provide.

Reasons .
Might be better in Accessories .
This is not a f*** fix my phone forum its a developers forum .
As its rather a restricted topic you may need to wait until someone with an answer appears .

Im happy if a mod thinks its appropriate to be moved to accessories.
I am aware it is a developers forum and I was at no point demanding anyone "f***g fix my phone". The use of TV tuners with the Galaxy S3 would be a development of the phone as it is not something that it was initially designed to do and would allow people to make better use of their devices.
I was just making sure that I had not done anything wrong in the way I had posted my question and to make it clear that I had searched around for an answer already for a couple of days myself as I know people get annoyed when noobs post questions without bothering to look for themselves.
Thanks
Rich
