Ok i havent gotten my samsung galaxy player 5.0 yet but i am working on it i ran across these 2 amazing accessories. And i was wondering has anyone else tried this on there device. Let me know any info you may have
HDMI HHL Adapter

OTG Cable

As for the HDMI,
The Samsung galaxy player, dose not support tv out
No OTG support (yet). They recently ported it to the galaxy s, we might be able to get it to work at least on the 4.0, witch is pretty much identical from what I have seen. So far I have confirmed their partitions are mounted identically, they have the same CPU, and I think they might even have the same motherboard (both of them have "ro.board.platform=s5pc110" in build.prop, not sure if that is the MB or not). The 5.0 is a totally different story though...
OP, you should go for the korean version if you want the HDMI output.
This version also supports 1080p (the device is also in english), has 16 or 32gb, and I found something very amusing : the korean version is made in Korea, whereas all the other versions are made in China. I guess koreans only buy korean products, haha! But I couldn't tell if it's any better...
MHL is definitely not present in the 5.0 - I tried the adapter that came with my Infuse.
There's a chance it might support analog TVout via the headphone jack, but this is unknown and no one has tried it yet.

Hey entropy512, would you be willing to edit the settings.apk for the 4.0 U.S. version if I sent it to you, then someone with the right cable could see if the tvout works?
I have a TV out cable from my ipod 5g, if someone needs testing, i'm game
When I plug the cable into my headphone port, no picture shows up, however the audio dose not switch to headphones, it keeps playing through the speakers, so that must mean something...

Yep, it means that your headphone jack detector works.
Dang, I'm almost sure this has video out, at least the 4.0 since I think it even has the same MB as the gt-i9000! I sure wish I could smai edit the settings.apk so that the option would show up, but I've been looking for a good guide on doing so and have yet to find one. I havn't had time to just learn smali as I have school, so unless there is someone out there with a 4.0 (possibly 5.0 has TV out as well, but less likely) that knows how to smali edit, we're stuck.
If you want tvout settings to appear then all you should need to do is get a settings.apk from a gt-i9000 and load it. Make sure it is the same framework as the one that you are running eg. 2.3.5. The setting will show up but I have found that just having the setting there does nothing if the functionality is not there...
Let me know how it goes...

Well, I asked for the apk two days ago on the gt-i9000 forum but no one ever responded. Guess I'll go bump the thread! I guess those galaxy s owners are to busy to help a poor galaxy player owner, lol!
FYI, You don't need to ask, all you need to do is download a full rom for gt-i9000 and pull the settings.apk out.
You can use "kitchen" to do this if it's an odin flash, if it's a CWM zip then just open this zip and extract it out...
Ya, I thought of that, my internet is really slow though, guess I'll start it and it will be done by tonight.
Well, I tried the settings.apk, but it fc when I select display, or any other menu. Any suggestions? I guess the real way to do it would be to smali edit the original, but I have no idea how to do so.
Well, I have a 5.0 and not a 4.0 and I'm using 2.3.6. In the 5.0, settings for tvout are not there. It's just not in the code. If I were you, I would use adb logcat to get the exception info to find out why the settings.apk is fc and go from there....
Eh, I think I might call it quits for now. I've got a busy month, so if someone wants to pick up where I left off, here is the apk someone gave me.

Why doesn't OTG work on the galaxy players? I thought it was standard in all android devices?
I think this player not support TV out?
There is a small chance it supports TV out via the 3.5mm jack. Someone needs to test it with a correct cable first, to confirm or deny.

I PROMISE I have Googled and searched and searched and Googled. I absolutely apologize if this is a repeat or obvious question. I hope that there is a simple answer.
To put it plainly, I am wondering if anyone has made some sort of software that would allow an android device to appear as an iPod/iPhone while attached to a media playing device via USB? Specifically, a car head-unit (radio).
My Pioneer has all kinds of wonderful abilities for talking to and controlling an apple iWhatever, but has almost nothing for other devices. And I just wonder if anyone has helped bridge this gap?
I know that when the Palm Pres first came out, the emulated being an Apple device for a while, and I thought I saw a similar software for Android once upon a time. But if it exists and works today, God knows I am not finding it. SOOOO I thought I would ask in this wonderful, singular place of knowledge, before finally giving up.
Again, I apologize if this is a redundant question. Thanks so much in advance. Have a great day!

Lemme guess-you have a AVIC head unit? If so, me too! (X910BT). I actually posed a somewhat similar question asking for information on how to program A2DP so I can spoof the Bluetooth into thinking it were a supported model so we could stream Slacker.....
Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can help us....
What is the connection method? If its USB you could try mass storage device mode just to access the files themselves assuming the player has some sort of GUI to navigate the directories.
The easiest method if you want to control audio via the phone is to just hook the headphone output into the aux. Apple's proprietary usb connection has audio out and thats how docks are able to use it.
What is the radio model and have you tried Googling for a solution. I can't believe the manufacturer would just leave all other devices in the dark, but I have seen stuff like this before.

Ummm... yes, connecting by USB. And yes I googled first. The pioneer will mount a USB mass storage device, but it is slow and lacks much in the way of functionality, such as sorting and playlists. Again, if the phone "pretended" to be an iSomething, then that would be ideal. I am wondering if such is possible.

I posted the same question a week ago with no answers. Great source of information here.
Anyway I dont think the issue is making the android system "pretend" to be an apple product as blackberries also work fine. I think droid needs a software to make it compatible wit this usb feature.
I have several android devices, a Verizon Galaxy S3 running Cleanrom, Nexus 7, and am looking at getting a MK808. I stay at a hotel frequently and would like to sometimes take my xbox. The problem is you have to go through the webportal to connect, so its impossible to do this without a laptop right now. What I am to do is by using any of the devices above, log into the webportal using the devices wifi, then connect the device via usb to ethernet adapter, and run ethernet to the xbox and share it.
So my question is, is this possible with those devices?
Ive searched and seen some driver packs for honeycomb and what not, but, not sure what to do in this situation. I figured I'd start posting here rather than double posting in the & and S3's forum.
So I am an idiot, I jumped the gun and bought the new Droid Turbo. Thinking it was the latest and greatest etc etc I grabbed it, only to find out later, it does not have HDMI/MHL. It never even crossed my mind, I just assumed HDMI/MHL was standard these days, Every other phone I have had has had it. So my predicament. I use an AppRadio in my car, Cant stand the regular radio and I have been in love with the radio for almost 2 years (i think) but without having HDMI, I can not use the appradio with this new phone. I use the AppRadio Unchained mod that is posted here, or did use it I should say. I think I vaguely remember reading about some people using a cast type device to wirelessly hook up their phone to the radio. My question is, if i use a device like miracast, or what not, will it work like I have installed an HDMI cable, and will I still be able to use the touch functions of the radio, or am I going to need to rethink my purchase and possibly return the phone? Wasn't sure if this was the right place to post this or not. Thanks in advance.
I want to be able to plug my new Galaxy Tab S3 (T-820) into my desktop computer or laptop via the USB C cable and not just move files back and forth, (which works fine), but ALSO have access to my desktop's internet connection through USB. I don't want to use WiFi.
I have an Ethernet to USB C dongle, which works fine, but it doesn't allow me to share files or charge my tablet. I'd like to be able to do all three at the same time.
In many of the "How To" articles out there where "Reverse Tethering" is described, they helpfully list the various buttons and widgets to click in order to enable this feature. However the authors always refer to menu items and buttons which don't appear under my tablet's settings. They're not just greyed out. They're simply absent. So that doesn't work.
Neither do any of the various apps on the Google Play Store and elsewhere which promise to provide reverse tethering. They just don't work.
SO...
Being new to the Android (and the smartphone) universe, I did a ton of homework and have so far figured out how to...
Root my tablet. (Done!)
Wade through the swamp of TWRP, ODIN, etc., while tripping spectacularly over the various speed bumps and permission walls provided by the likes of Samsung and Google's paranoid anti-theft (and it would seem from my use case, their anti-happiness) feature set.
Successfully install different flavors of Android.
Install both Magisk and Xposed and try their tethering unlockers with negative results.
After a week of little sleep, I've managed to get through all of this torturous nonsense and amaze myself by not having bricked or totally spoiled my tablet. It still functions! After all the warranty-voiding BS I've crammed through it, I'm feeling quite lucky.
However... I still don't have the ability to tether/reverse tether!
I've learned a lot, but I still feel mostly like a dazed and confused script kiddie (remember when 'script kiddie' was a term? Well for me, it still applies nicely.) I'm trying my level best, but various elements of this whole exercise remain opaque. This is my first post in any forum asking for advice because I finally hit the outer bounds of my DIY energies and pride.
So, if you will indulge my humble request, what I want to know is...
1. Is my tablet even capable on a hardware level of performing a reverse tether, or has the manufacturer locked that feature out so that even a ROM which promises to turn it on will fail to do so?
AND...
2. If it IS possible for a ROM to turn on the tether/reverse tether feature, which one is it and where can I find it?
2a. If there is another solution.., what is it?
I'm currently on...
Android Version 8.0.0
Samsung Experience version 9.0
Kernel Version 3.18.71-13482624
Build Number R16NW.T820XXU1BRE2
I bought this unit off Amazon; it was a refurb and I didn't get it through some cellular provider nor do I have a phone plan. I don't know where this tablet originally came from, but it was all new, sealed and shiny in the box when I got it.
Thanks!
I can appreciate losing a week of sleep. But I don't understand why you need to reverse tether. Enable WiFi and there you go. I think the last time I needed to tether a device through my laptop's internet connection would have been the 1990s.
FWIW the USB-C connector on the TAB S3 is different because if you want to drive an HDMI monitor you need a DisplayLink chip enabled dongle and DisplayLink Presenter app running on the Tab S3. Whereas on my TAB S4 I can just plug any regular old USB-C -> HDMI dongle and display on the monitor. So odds are trying to get reverse tethering working on the Tab S3 is going to be an exercise in futility.
Hi there, you still looking for reverse tethering for android? i found & use this for a while... you can check github link here : https://github.com/Genymobile/gnirehtet
working well on my S3.
Holy cow, it works!

What...? It worked?! Thank-you!
It's hard to believe how much effort and research I'd put into this, how many promising fixes I tried and which failed. In truth I'd given up weeks ago and found myself scornfully looking at the expensive tablet by my desk, wondering if I should hang on to it for its limited uses or sell it on eBay.
Thanks for posting! I can now do what I wanted with this machine.
For others, just follow the directions on the github link provided in the previous post.
I just scrolling around to find fixes for wifi issue - it connect & reconnect every times when on my office connection. Since me unable to use wifi, i try to find the work around using LAN connection. Then i found that.
Happy i can help others. Cheers mate.
