[Q] Using Hisense Sero 7 Pro with Alfa wifi adapter - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I hope that this post is in the right section. My issue is that i am trying to use my Alfa AWUS036NH wifi adapter with my Hisense Tablet(rooted). I bought the tablet not knowing that it is a MTP(Media Transfer Protocol) device and does not mount as a USB device for storage and hence cannot recognize my Alfa.
I want to use the tablet with Kali Linux to do monitoring with the Alfa. Does anyone know of a way that i could possibly use the Alfa with the Hisense? Maybe even changing some of the entries in build.prop? Any suggestion is most appreciated

USB 3G/GPRS dongle - Will it work?

Will my huawei e1550 work under android?
I see that some other Adroid devices (china tablet pc like Zenithink and other) have the software, which can config internet connections.
Will Gen8 init this device?

For now, no. Unless Huawei or 3rd party develop driver for it.
My E1550 now also collecting dust coz i'm using 101 most of the time rather than laptop.
If i understand, we need root access to add 3rd party driver? Or there uis no way to compile driver?
This would be quite interesting if it would work.
Would this also enable call/sms functionalities?
I have an AT&T Laptop Connect Dongle which does not work. I have been able to bluetooth tether using PAN. I would rather use adhoc, i haven't found a way yet.
I prefer Archos to improve the stabilities of his 2.2 firmware first before adding more "new" features.
3G dongles
Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I was able to digg around, it seems that USB host mode (wich is already in Archos), __usbserial.ko__, and adeqaute parts of devfs rules, are only three really necessary things that are needed on any linux, for USB 3G dongles to get properly recognized (at least Huawei ones).
rest of the things regarding "dial-up" a 3G connection, are done with commands from ppp package (should be in froyo), can be done from shell (busysbox __should__ be sufficient) for a start.
usb_modeswitch package is needed also, but only for the modems that are USB composites with virtual CD-ROM and/or MMC card reader (like mine E1552) in order to switch them to a serial mode (because their are detected as mass-storage initialy). For a start, this can be overcomed by sending adequate AT command's to dongle, that disable dongle's virtual CD-ROM and/or MMC card reader, from some windows machine prior to experimenting with dongle on linux/archos (setting is saved on dongle - you only need to do it once).
Since I still don't have my A101 (should receive it beggining of 2011), can someone tell me from kernel .config file is USB serial support compiled in archos kernel, and if not can we compile it as a additional module (like archos unionfs/ntfs modules is see in other thread) ?

USB host?

Hi everyone,
I'm a proud Legend owner, but I'm thinking in change my phone soon (but not yet). Anyway, I was thnking if I can give my phone a new live connecting it to a hard drive, so I can build a webserver, filesharing or whatever with almost no power consumption.
However, I found that is necessary for the kernel to allow USB Host mode for it. Newer android versions support it, but for everyone else I've found this http://sven.killig.de/android/N1/2.2/usb_host/, there's a port even for G1.
Anyone with enought skills for porting it to legend?
usb otg works on thc legend
Hello
I compiled the kernel (ver 2.6.35) for htc legend and applied the Sven Killing's ehci usb host hack. I connected an usb mice and an usb keyboard, and both worked. I changed an some points the kernel source (like Kconfig and etc.) if somebody needs i can upload it.
You need an external power supply for the connected devices, and hacked an homemade usb micro host cable like this:
beyondthekeeboard.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/picture-50.png
It works fine, I didn't tested mass storage, but i think it would work.
Could you upload your compiled kernel?
Hello people,
i need some help enabling usb otg on the legend aswell. im running CM 7.2 and 2.6.32 kernel.
If someone could upload a modded kernel or do a step-by-step instruction for a noob like me, i'd be really grateful
Need also OTG functionality on my legend! Does anybody have a modded kernel?

[Q] USB Host Mode/OTG is it only for Samsung devices?

Dear All,
I wanted to know if USB Host mode/On the Go (OTG) on for Samsung devices?
cos as far as i have seen, unless you modify kernel and use an app OTG doesnt work with other devices.
I have a tablet (HCL ME U1 - Version: ICS), which has normal USB/Mini USB, but the USB Host mode is not enabled on it. i was wondering how do i enable it ?
the other option is to buy a tablet which is OTG enabled, but as far as my knowledge, only samsung galaxy tab has OTG.
kindly help me out with information

[Q] OTG/USB Host for MT65XX Phones, especially for Jiayu G3, possible?

Hi folks!
I need the OTG/USB Host function on my Jiayu G3. Normally it doesn't support it..
So I did i lot of research and tests at "how i can enable it" and found some information:
1. some things point to it, like the libusbhost.so in /system/lib
2. all 5 pins of the usb slot are connected to a chip (this says nothing, i know)
3. i have found a pdf, which says that otg is possible on mt6575-77 (found on github)
So my question, has anybody get otg/usb host get enabled on Jiayu G3 oder m65xx phones? OR is anybody there who want the same like me and helps me to make it possible?
OTG unlock
Hi
I have a similar problem with my Jiayu G3s (MTK6589T).
For most USB devices it does not react but i hope there is a chance to make it work.
I do not know if it si trustworthy but according to USB OTG Checker my device supports USB OTG.
When i insert one of my USB flash drives i can find sdcard1 folder (total commander) . It is empty but it reacts.
Can anybody please help or just explain what is the problem. Thank you

Hi there,
I think I have a possible solution for this case.
Many USB cables are not correct to link with computer. I have two cables, one of Jiayu and other (more thin) brought in a chinese store. The cable brought in chinese store don't work to link with computer.
I hope this information was useful.
Any updates?

This might help. Using an apk it is possible to make it work, IF kernel supports it. Don't know if phone has hardware support though...
I've read here that you should connect the ID pin to a pull-down 150k resistor, then to GND.

Kindle Fire 2 CM 11-XXX USB OTG

Hi guys I am new here and new to this whole rooting, custom ROM thing. This all started from a need of an android device to run an app for a motorcycle efi tuner. It connects through a USB cable and allows me to change some tuning parameters in the module. I have never owned an android device, but I did own a Kindle Fire 2. After doing some research I stumbled across tutorials on how to install CM and make it an android device....and that where I am at now.
I have successfully rooted and installed CM 11-20160815-NIGHTLY-otter2, android 4.4.4, Kernal version 3.0.72+
Now the problem I am facing is the use of the usb cable to link the tablet and module. I have a USB OTG cable and after some research it looked like I needed a powered cable, so I made one of those too. I have installed Stickmount, USB OTG helper and USB OTG Checker. Running the checker I see that my device has the USB OTG API.
The interesting part now is when I connect the powered cable to the module and Kindle it will open the app automatically but it says not connected. The weird part is that it detects it enough to open up the app. Also I have not been able to mount through stickmount.
I am not a developer and not familiar with a lot of the lingo so at this point I am stuck. I don't know what else to try its over my head at this point. A google search turns up very little on this, although I have seen youtube movies of it working so I guess its possible.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Anybody have any ideas? I don't have enough post to put this in the kindle forums is it possible for someone to move it there?
