[Q] Using external device's wi-fi - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My tablet's wi-fi chipset doesn't support monitor mode. Is this possible to use my smartphone's wi-fi chipset in monitor mode remotely through tablet (Android with Kali Linux). If 'yes' - how is this possible?

[Q] Android external HDD power management

Hello
I own an Android device called Mele A2000 which runs Android 4.0.4 and has 3 USB host ports, one of them "OnTheGo". (AllWinner A10 chipset, concept is a tv-box like google tv with remote control).
Plugged into one of them is my WD external harddrive, which my Linux computer powers down if it is unused.
The android 3.0.8 kernel power management though switches it off just to power it on again after a few minutes. And then switches it of again nearly instantly. This happens for hours.
Is there a software to controll media queries? Do I have to disable FTP/SSH servers? Any hints how I can monitor which software repeatedly reads from /mnt/usbhost0/* ? Any nice power monitoring apps I can install?
Media scanning from sd and usb is disabled in the android settings.
Thanks,
Fenrasa
Please.. anybody?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Short answer: No
Less short answer: HDMI transmits only audio and visual data, not higher functions of the device.
What is this then

[Q] Can GPS receiver/logger be connected via USB to android tablet?

I have a small GPS receiver / logger based on the MTK chipset, similar to products such as iBlue, Holux, Qstarz and Photomate (I have the Photomate 887). These have USB interface to allow the device to stream real-time GPS coordinates through the USB or bluetooth to a PC (or compatible camera).
Is it at all possible for an Android tablet with USB port to receive GPS data from these devices and plot your position on (some) available mapping program - to essentially turn the tablet into the equivalent of a Garmin or Tomtom (etc) GPS trip navigator?
Would an android app do the actual "talking" directly through the USB to the receiver, or is that something that the OS itself would (or must) do?
A second question is - are there any android tablets with actual GPS receivers built into them?
A third question - for an android tablet that doesn't have internal bluetooth, can bluetooth be added via USB adapter?
I think can't

Simultaneous Wifi and Ethernet Connection on AMLogicS802 powered device

Dear experts,
I have an issue with my Android multimedia device Orbsmart S82 which is powered by an AMLogic S802 chip. All my devices (phone, tablet, pc, NAS, orbsmart s82) are connected to the internet via Wifi.
To view HD-content on my TV, my plan was to connect my Orbsmart via ethernet cable to my NAS to receive stutter free video output. This works seamlessly. BUT: I cannot turn on Wifi and Ethernet on the Orbsmart at the same time. So each time I want to view content from my NAS, I have to go to the system settings and enable Ethernet. As Wifi gets disabled automatically by that action, I have to activate Wifi in the system settings in order to be able to view online content. But then, the ethernet interface is turned off again.
No matter what I try, only Wifi or Ethernet can be active.
Does anyone have a similar setup? What is your solution?
Thanks in advance!
In the meantime I found a possible explanation for the Orbsmart's behavior. Obviously, Android only allows one data connection at the same time per default. There seems to be a workaround if you can code. Unfortunately, I am not much of a coder...

Any suggestions to fix this without coding are much appreciated.
I found a solution. It only works for me if I connect an Android compatible USB / Ethernet Adapter. If I configure both Wifi and Ethernet manually with different subnets, I can make both work simultaneously. I use this adapter: Assmann DN-10050-1 Digitus USB network adapter.
Cheers.

Wired connection to external screen/display

I've been doing some research on using an Android phablet as both a mobile device and desktop computer. Basically this is what is needed:
Ability to run desktop environment and applications. Already not a problem with linuxdeploy or similar;
Ability to connect external display, keyboard and mouse. Whilst connecting the latter 2 wirelessly is acceptable, I certainly want to be able to use wired connection for external display — HDMI or something else.
The second requirement seems to be either tricky or not possible to accomplish at all with non-stock ROMs. Is it true that no custom Android ROM allows wired connection of external display, like MHL/HDMI or whatever?
I am also aware of Ubuntu Touch but it seems not to support wired external display either, all the more so it won't allow to run Android apps.
