I have tried a usb gps dongle that worked on my Odroid T running froyo, but it did nothing just like all peripherals plugged into usb port other than keyboard and storage devices
..........
Ive spoken to two of the devs about support for usb gps, basically a new lib would need to be created for the driver to get these working, and with the aprouch of honycomb, it was suggested that we may get one for hc, but in the end i went out and bought a $15 bluetooth gps that works like a charm. So once HC is released for the gtab, with some luck one of the devs will be able to sort out the lib driver issue. till then bluetooth gps is what we have.
Where did you find one for $15? The cheapest I've found was $35 so I've been using my slightly broken Droid 2.
Was lucky to get it from ebay at that price, they do normally go for a bit more. But thats the nature of ebay as i see it, sometimes you get a bargin, sometimes you dont.
Can you share the make/model type for the one you got? Thanks in advance.
Sure mate, i got a AVLabs Bluetooth GPS Receiver.
I too have been trying to get a USB GPS to work. No luck yet, but I'm getting closer. I do have a BT GPS somewhere, but I just have not found which car, or what desk I left it laying on yet.
I'm running Vegan 5.1 with the 5.1.1 add-on plus I added the kernel from ClemPatchTNTVEGANZPAD. That kernel includes the pl2303 driver so now when I connect the USB GPS I see that /dev/ttyUSB0 is created. I can run stty to set the baud rate and if I cat /dev/ttyUSB0 I do see the NMEA sentences from the GPS.
I'm still lacking the know-how to map this port to the system gps provider though. I'm pretty new at Android in general. I tried adding:
ro.android.gps.provider ttyUSB0 (or something like that)
to build.prop, but so far - no luck.
I've also tried running GPS2BT on my phone along with BTGPS on the G-Tab, but I have not got that to work yet either. I'm convinced that I just need more fiddling around time to get it to work.

have you turned off mock locations? it might be interfering with it. dont know if it really it but its something to try
Yep, it may solve your problem
Hey, I've been through the forums searching out whether the i9100 has the capability to run its audio through a usb dac and have only come up with old and dead threads. This http://blog.jdslabs.com/?p=838 is saying that to utilize at lease their dacs you only have to either be compatible with usbaudioplayerpro or have a cyanogenmod rom (i'm guessing CM10/11). I've checked the compatibility list for the usbaudioplayer (http://www.extreamsd.com/USBAudioRecorderPRO/) and the i9100 isn't officially compatible because it has "No USB host mode" at term I think is synonymous with otg, and I've used an otg checker and my current setup (i9100 with http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...m-gt-i9100-resurrection-remix-v4-0-7-t1436854) has that capability. On top of this the resurrection remix 4.4.2 rom is based on CM11 and so that makes me think that it will have the usbaudio problem solved anyway. I hope that I haven't missed anything significant, and for those wondering, the reason I haven't posted this in the rr thread is that I need ten posts to post there. Hopefully someone can confirm that this is now possible so that I, and others interested can go about buying usb dacs to bypass the shoddy yamaha internal dac.
tldr; is it now possible to run a usb dac on the i9100 using the new kitkat roms (specifically http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...m-gt-i9100-resurrection-remix-v4-0-7-t1436854).
Thanks,
Luke

I've seen that you have always been on the answer end of these threads, hopefully you can tell me why this really is and what steve kondik's work has done for the situation as I've read that he solved the problem for CM (an idea backed up by the original link i posted). Why has his contribution made the difference on other models but not this one? So it's a hardware issue or? Sorry if you just end up repeating yourself but it's not quite making sense.
Thanks,
Luke
I've been on the answer ends on a lot of these threads because for the two yrs I used my S2 (I don't anymore), I was very keen to have USB DAC functionality for myself if it was possible. Yes, everyone is aware of what he's been able to do, but it isn't possible with this device due to hardware limitations.
Trust me, if it was possible, it would have been done by now, as you know you're not exactly the first person who would like this to work.
Edit - It hasn't solved the problem for CM period, it's solved the problem for a number of devices. If you don't believe me, flash CM & see if you can get it to work.
Sorry for the thread resurrection... I happend to browse across the following, which looks promising:
- Galaxy S2 DIY Car Dock with USB audio output (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skgEKS4uzWA)
- [HOWTO] Enable the car dock external audio without Samsung's Home apps by TheBeano (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980937)
- Fun with resistors (home/car dock mode + more) by TheBeano (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=820275)
I am also kinda interested in this.
So far it seems that my headset is being detected by my s2 running pac rom.
There is still no sound output.
I would say it is because the lack of usb audio drivers in our devices.
All that is needed is to compile the snd_usb_audio.ko module and load it.
From there on, I assume android can handle it well enough.
Otherwise we can use alsa directly.
Edit: After loading the module, sound works (from chroot) but I don't know how to tell android to output to the headset.

Hi ruleh, can you try this trial app 'USB Audio Player PRO' to test if it works? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.extreamsd.usbaudioplayerpro
You can find the trial link in the app description section.
Do let us know your findings.

ha. my two cents.

You can get other USB broadband modems working if you use the PPP Widget 2 app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.draisberghof.pppwidget2&hl=en). I found it to be pretty annoying though so I came up with an alternative solution.
I now use a TMobile Z915 mobile hotspot. I plan to install a switch to the battery so I can still use it when travelling, but I can otherwise leave it installed in the car and have it powered by the radio. When the car is turned off, it should kill the power to the hotspot. When power is restored it will power up and have instant wifi.
I'm tempted to try my 4G USB broadband modem again just to see if it works now that I've installed the Malaysk ROM. With my portable hotspot, everything is great except that the radio thinks it is always on wifi so it doesn't mind wasting data.
Hello,
I use the Huawei E1750 USB 3G dongle. I see it run not stable and do not know the reason. I usually used this dongle in PC before take it to my car.
Sometime, the HU did not recognizes the dongle, most of times, the problem happens when I start the engine from the HU running by battery's power.
I guess the power supply for the USB port is not enough.
My HU is Klyde MCTB-KLD. RK3066, 800 X 480, Malaysk newest 4.4.4 ROM
Is there someone met this issue before? Please kindly share your experience to help me solve this.
Thanks!

Hi guys,
I am also using a HUAWEI E1750 in my Carjoying HU and had the same problems but maybe I found a solution.
At least the behavior of the dongle improved dramatically.
1. At first I updated the firmware to version 11.126.13.00.00.B418
2. I think this is the important point .... I disabled the CD-ROM and SD-CARD function on the dongle.
You can use for that the DC-Unlocker.
In the white window on the bottom I used this command
AT ^ SETPORT = "A1, A2; 1,2,3,7"

I have a Huawei E160 and unfortunately the AT ^ SETPORT command doesn't work on my dongle. In the past I've tried AT^U2DIAG=0 which stopped it from working with my HU - fixed by reset using AT^U2DIAG=276.
Based on the above advice, I'm now trying AT^U2DIAG=3. It works with the HU but time will tell if it has fixed the reliability issues. I'll update this when I know more.

I tried and successed!
The AT-comand must follow this instruction from http://www.3g-modem-wiki.com/page/Huawei+AT-commands
The code for the "AT^U2DIAG=n" command depends on the model of dongle (Support by/Not support by)
The modem did fix quickly and more stable. But bases on the new firmware update feature: "More saving power" with your suggestion: "Disable CD and SD card reader", I think the main reason is the weak power of USB port. So, increase the USB power is more necessary because we may use any other device on it, not 3G modem only.
Thank you!
It hasn't completely fixed mine, the connection still drops out, but it MIGHT be better than before. Can't be sure though. Based on the above advice about firmware reducing power usage, I'll try that next.
This is for the benefit of anyone who owns a Huawei E160:
Do not install the latest firmware 11.609.10.02.432.b418.
After doing this, it wouldn't work with my HU at all. Unable to add APNs - they're not saved as the dongle is not recognised by the HU. It worked on my PC so wasn't broken, but the HU just didn't like it.
I downgraded to 11.609.06.02.94.B409 (was originally on 11.608.02.02.55 so is still an upgrade) and it now works once more.
I'm going to try out the different AT^U2DIAG commands to see if I can improve reliability.

Hey people,
I have a question. I have a 3g Stick Huawei E1750. It works very good, but I need 4G, because here at the most time only EDGE, and 4G is not supported by the stick. Does anyone knows a compatible working 4g STICK, not a Modem. Thanks

Im running the Malaysk ROM for RK3188 on my Eonon GA5153F
Since flashing the Malaysk ROM my bluetooth settings keep reverting to default, carkit device name etc.
Even if I manage to change them and even hold the settings for a coupe of boots on rare occasions they always revert to carkit and the default pin.
This problem has repeated over 2 versions of the ROM and posting in the Malaysk RK3188 thread brought nothing useful in the way of info.
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions how to sort this out, its very annoying and I desperately need bluetooth handsfree back for work purposes.
Dont know if its relevant - I also have the GA5153F and although everything was fine with Malaysks 4.4. ROM - when i updated to his 5.1 version - bluetooth did not work until I changed the bluetooth adapter in Factory Settings to the non "b" version (same model number) since then it works great.
Yep, youll get nothing with the wrong adapter set.
Unfortunately this is a different fault.
Anybody?
I know others have suffered this problem, doesnt anyone have any other suggestions?

Im sure it is, but it doesnt help solve the real fault with the kit Ive already purchased, fitted, and seriously need to function as I regularly need to take calls when driving, Im a courier.
Frankly I didnt have any call quality issues when it was working, its the total lack of function thats a bit of an issue!
Is this a hardware fault? Is it a Rom fault? IS it a media board fault? IS it as simple as a file somewhere being over written or with bad permissions?
Non b worked for me but now I have no wifi

It is essentially a manufacturer (software) issue. Malaysk has mentioned somewhere that Chinese developers messed up the BT stack. You must understand that these units use a plethora of BT boards from various suppliers AND in various HW revisions. Nobody will work on a universal BT service that accommodates all these boards. Your best bet, if you want to use the on-board BT, is to find a ROM that works, through trial and error, and stay with that one.

Thanks I am aware of the hardware diversity. It is frustrating that these companies have a weak attitude to stability. However the original rom had functional Bluetooth, and the Malaysk rom is supposed to be based upon it, thats what is also frustrating.
I tried posting in the Malaysk thread but it was largely ignored, scoffed at and lost in all the noise.
Anyone else?
Hi,
Have not used my Nook Tablet recently because have newer hardware.
Recently saw "Use An Android Tablet as a Live Monitor for your DSLR Camera" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnzkHegu3aA and hope can do this with my Nook Tablet 16GB.
Searched the forum and then YouTube using Nook Tablet for camera monitor but to date have found nothing.
Hope someone else has interest in doing this.
Thanks

A search through the forum for "USB Host" seems to indicate that while many people over the years have coveted this capability, it has never been implemented on the NT.
That said, there are some DSLR cameras that use direct WiFi to communicate with Android devices and can display what they see on the tablet screen (not to mention accept remote commands from the device). These apps run just fine on the NT.
nmyshkin,
"there are some DSLR cameras that use direct WiFi to communicate with Android devices and can display what they see on the tablet screen (not to mention accept remote commands from the device). These apps run just fine on the NT" Unfortunately my cameras do not have WiFi.
Thanks for the tip about "USB Host" somehow my searches never picked it up. Redid the search using Nook tablet USB Host and got a Lot of Hits! Also Googled and got > 111K hits!!!
Clarification: Is the reason it has never been implemented on the NT a Hardware or a Software problem?
Googled and found [Q] USB Host/OTG mode for peripherals? https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546363
Answer by tobdaryl "From what I have read this is not possible yet but is being looked at by at least Team B. Others may also be working on this but it holds lesser value till the more important things to everyday operation on internal hardware has been conquered" it sounds like a Software problem.
Beginners question, if it is a Software problem can it be corrected by installing a newer version of Android?
Thanks for your help!!!

It has to be patched into the OS by someone (if the hardware even allows for it). That funky USB connection on the NT may also cause issues, not sure.
But yes, it's maybe both, certainly at least non-existent code in the OS. I looked at my tablet running AOSP 7.0 and I only saw one mention of USB Audio in the Settings section. That's a typical USB Host application (I use it on my NST--there developers wrote new code patches to enable USB Host). Just for the heck of it and because I have all the hardware, I attached an OTG cable and a USB Audio device to my NT.
Nada. Generally there has to be a setting to enable USB Host because power input/output has to be changed, drivers added, among other things. The setting I found on my NT is probably just there like "camera" and "bluetooth" are there. They don't do anything but it was easier to just let them be than to take them out and try to trace all the threads that might unravel if they were removed.
So I think the answer is still that no one ever got around to looking at it seriously, or someone did once and found the hardware was an issue.
Sorry
nmyshkin,
Thanks for checking!!! My gut feeling now it is a Hardware Problem.
Any suggestions as to uses for the NT since the hardware is so old?

I am running AOSP 7.0 (see https://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-tablet/general/how-to-installing-aosp-android-7-0-t3578665) and it performs flawlessly for me. No FCs, no freezes, no funny business. It's the best ROM I've run on the tablet (I never ran the stock).
Back when I was running CM 10.2.1 I did an AnTuTu test because someone asked about the speed of the system (which I thought was "fine"). I've never run another one, feeling they are pretty much useless. It seemed to test a great number of things I would never use the tablet for. The real question is "am I satisfied with the performance?". My answer is "yes".
My husband has an HD which I recently upgraded to CM 12. I know from working with his tablet that it is a little more responsive than mine, but I honestly don't care that much. I don't experience lag to any extent that changes my blood pressure and I'm constantly amazed at how well the tablet performs. So that's my test
