Hi!
I recently bought a USB-Ethernet Adaptater (this one actually). I also just rooted my phone, trying to follow this tutorial.
But I just read that Android 6.0.x phones don't have the "netcfg" binary, and are supposed to support natively USB-Ethernet.
But I don't see the <...> icon I'm supposed to get when connected. Looks like Samsung don't want us to use the driver. So how can I do?
Thanks
I use the ASIX 88772B which can be found all over ebay. It uses an app to connect. Yours maybe have the same chipset and thus likely it will work with this app.

However, since not all Android apps recognize that you are on ethernet you need the Fake Wifi module from Xposed to get it to work.
This is on Android 4.x
On Android 6 it maybe different sine they maybe support native ethernet. I don't have USB OTG working yet because of USB-C issues but I hope to get it working.
Better to buy this, I think : HooToo

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, I'm trying to find information on using a SGS2 or another handset on ethernet. I have seen a few threads relating:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224660
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1274656
and a few more, but all relating to tablets. The reason I need ethernet is because I plan to use one of these as a camera and image processor on a UAV. We are planning to use a 2.4GHz antenna to communicate with our ground station, so it would simplify everything if I could just implement the communication through ethernet.
My question is if all these usb-rj45 dongles with linux drivers will work on this or a similar handset. I'm fine with doing terminal tweaks to get it to work, but I'd like to know if anyone has gotten ethernet to work on a handset.
Thanks,
Santiago
Hello!
I am a newbie here.
I have H96 PRO+ Amlogic S912 Octa-Core TV Box w/ 3GB DDR3, 32GB ROM and I would like to buy a webcam to be able to use it for Skyep too.
I would like to know if the Logitech C930e is compatible with Android 6.x or should I buy the Logitech C920?
If you have other webcam recommendations, please feel free to mention it
Thanks
AFAIK it should not matter as the cam will only be detected as a normal webcam anyway.
I doubt Android has specific drivers for Logitech.
I tired on several Android devices with a USB inspection cam using noname Windows drivers.
The cam worked on all Androids right away but I was for example unable to activate the light.

Not too far right. Not every USB Webcam is supported by Android.
You have to pick a one that is compatible with the Android version you have.
For example, I tried an old USB Webcam Logitech v-ubk45 that has a built-in mic with my box and only the mic worked but the cam was not recognized.
Thanks for that info, will keep in mind.
So far I had problems with all sorts of devices but even cam I connected just worked.
I have a 920 still around in one of my spares boxes, will hook it later today and report back if my box will recognise it.
C920 should work well as long as you have Android 5.x and above
Can confirm, my C920 works fine on the X96 and the Yundoo Y8.
I confirm that logitech c930e works well with Android 6.x
S10 lite specs say, it's equipped with "2.0, Type-C 1.0 reversible connector". I'm confused. So which generation of USB is that? Does this "reversible" have anything to do with OTG(hosting) ability or is that just an indication that it can be plugged both sides?
I'm diggin into this topic because I'm looking for a docking station, for my S10 Lite, with some USB 3 ports and HDMI. I was wandering if some docks aimed for computers will do. Like this one for eg.:
http://https://greencell.global/en/startseite/1954-docking-station-adapter-hub-usb-c-hdmi-green-cell-7-ports-for-macbook-pro-dell-xps-lenovo-x1-carbon-and-others.html
Wouldnt bother
Hi i really wouldn't bother with a dock for this phone while you might be able to get basic OTG support for a USB stick as storage that's about it, this phone has no USB 3 support, No DEX, and no HDMI output capability. just realised this myself and i'm gutted thinking about returning it for the A90.
Ok. Is hdmi/dex support hardware dependant then? No chance for hdmi with some ported rom? My previous handset had no otg support with stock firmware and then I foud out OTG was there when flashed some lineage or stock rom ported from a newer phone.

OTG maybe, HDMI afraid not the Galaxy s10 lite has a USB 2.0 port not the 3.1 port required to output a HDMI signal. The A90 is cheaper has and exactly the same specs apart from is 6gb ram instead of 8gb and has a 3.1 USB port with full dex support plus it has 5g, not entirely sure why the s10 lite even exists and really wished i had researched more before ordering
There is a multiport adaptor listed on the Samsung store, @deanstead2k18, have you tried an HDMI adaptor and it doesn't work?

I dont have the phone anymore or I would order one and give it a try, as far as I know it's not possible I tried several different multi port adapters with hdmi and none of them worked I even got an on screen message saying it's not supported. Traded in for an s10 plus and all the multi port adapters work perfect
Hmm - I suspect that the thing on a Samsung website is a misprint then honestly. Thanks for the info.
