Noobys first post.
I bought a cheap Tesco Archos 80 Cobalt and have sucessfully rooted installed CIfs and got a working OTG Cable that can read an Iomega HDD, Intenso Flasg drive, Dell keyboard adn HP mouse.
I have a poundland bluetooth dongle and was hoping it would work straight off. It doesn't. (Although it works on my Ubuntu machine)
For cifs I had to install some drivers and was hoping softhing similar would get it working.
I'm not sure if it is the Cambridge chipset or not.
I'm a bit hesitant about try and entirely new ROM.
Any suggestion/insults?

It is my understanding that android natively supports usb. My question is, if I get a micro usb to usb adapter, and then plug in a usb keyboard, I would be able to use the keyboard to type documents. Any thoughts?
(I have a rooted nook, but I got the update before I could block them, will revert back soon)
currently no. The android or in this case nook skinned android kernel has to support usb host and usb keyboard inputs which it doesn't. But it probably will in the future when the devs release android 4.0, because ICS needs a different kernel then the current nook tablet kernel. But anyway what keyboard do you have, because you can only connect bluetooth keyboards and also only if the developers can enable bluetooth on the nook.
It also depends on the hardware support. I don't know if the TI chip has a host-only port, or if it supports OTG (On-The-Go) dual mode operation. It probably does, but I've not seen anybody verify that.
it doesn't support USB keyboards. I have a female USB to micro USB for my galaxy S2. I tried to get a USB sick and 2.4GHz mouse and keyboard on the nook but nothing worked, and yes it both works on my galaxy with the stock ROM

The NT can support usb gadgets and usb hubs but it need to be enabled in the rom and the must have the module, the NC has this feature and i hope our great devs can implement this on the NT.

im looking to use a usb 3g modem myself with my tablet ,
ive read a bit on the latest engadget article about the other older e paper nook that was done with a usb keyboard i even went as far as to contact the guy who did it and he told me what to look for , hardware wise to see if the NT could do it ,
yet without kernel support or the module being compiled into the kernel we have already on the tablet , theres not much hope , but i believe it can and will be done , if not im gonna have to get an ipad with a 3g data card in it cause i have to have data access wifi hotspots just not cutting 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?

Hey, is there a possibility that we can use a USB TV tuner through the USB otg adapter?

Hauppauge 950 does not work (3.1/3.2)
I have tried the Hauppauge USB stick 950 on my P7510, using the official USB set, and on both HC 3.1 and 3.2, and it did not work. I have yet to try it on the 4.0.4, but power-drain seems too high (like ext unpowered HD), and it did not recognise it.
Alas. It seemed a good idea, but no deal (at least for me)...
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.

RJ45 to USB???? The hell is that? A Ethernet to USB type of setup?

Sorry if i didnt explain correctly
Hey guys,
Just letting you know, I can confirm that USB OTG works out of the box for these tablets, been using my USB key perfectly fine. This feature can be particularly useful if you have a USB hard drive or any USB devices you want to connect. The wired XBOX 360 controller also works but need to be remapped to work apparently.
Attached are some screenshots.

I've been wanting to use an OBDlink SX (obd2 to USB.) interface for automotive use. But plugging it into my otg adapter the tablet does not seem to recognize or respond. A USB trackball worked right off the bat though.

Could it be the device itself? Do other USB devices over your OTG? I've only tested USB keys and XBOX 360 controllers so far...

I've heard of others with rooted tablets come up with fixes.

Does it need any special software or it will work out of the box via file explorer

where do you find that otg cable ?!?! do yo have a eBay link ???
wow, I just bought a 1tb WD Elements for $49 from Fry's electronic and my Dell 8 can read it no problem, it can even play mkv video from WD. The best thing is it doesn't require extra power source. Amazing ... worth every penny.

Hi,
I have purchased a Micro USB OTG Hub for my Dell venue 8 Tab. Once i connect the OTG on the Tab the USB is working and the Micro USB is not working and my Tab is not charging. Kindly help me to solve this issue please.
Do you know if this will allow me to use my sprint Sierra Wireless 250U usb mobile broadband device to connect to the internet?
