Hello,
Basically what I want to do is use some sort of DTV antenna to get live local tv onto the tablet. I have found a few products that are designed for this, but none of them work in North America. It looks like I will have to get a regular antenna, and somehow get the picture onto the tablet, which is hard because most every antenna outputs a coax connection. A perfect solution would be something like the Elgato EyeTV W, but again, it does not work in North America.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hello All,
I was hoping someone could help me. My old Samsung Galaxy Note 1 had started having issues. Broken charge port so had to swap batteries, broken headphone jack, pc not recognizing device, etc. So I bought a new phone (Nexus 5), and now I have this Note 1 laying around. I would love to use it as a media player (like an Ipod TOUCH or something). The problem I am having is that even with my wifi connected, NON of my network dependent apps will work. Facebook, Google Play, Youtube, Netflix, etc all seem to be looking for a cellular network, or a SIM or something. Is there a way I can use this as a wifi only device that all my network dependent apps will work (they same as they did before? I don't understand why I couldn't. Converting my old Iphone 4 into a wifi only Ipod Touch basically, was no problem. Connected to my wi-fi and life went on as normal. Please Help.
Thanks in advance.

I don't have this problem in either of my sim-less notes. I was going batty for a few days, getting notifications on both phones. Is WiFi set up correctly?
I'd try a reset to factory
And, wait, what's the point of turning an old phone into a media player if you say the headphone jack is broken?
Also - charging port piece is under $20 shipped (or it was when it failed on my friend's note) and the repair job isn't too hard.
Hello everybody!
Today I have read about connecting 3G modem to Android tablet via OTG USB.
So, can't we, owners of non-4G S III, connect 4G modem to S III and make it working?
Maybe, is there a way to take a case, which will cover back of the phone, and to hide under case a 4G dongle,and connect it via cable with charging-and-OTG-in-one. After that we put one sim-card without internet to phone, and one sim-card with 4G internet to this dongle.
May we make 4G dongle working on Android, especially S3?
P.S. Yes, I know, that it's better to buy another phone, but I want to do some experiments with this device.
Sure, go right ahead and let us know how you get on.
You can buy a 4g phone, better spec than the s3 for £150 with lollipop included.

Your tricks sound like Project Ara to me! That's technically impossible!
As the tilte says I have a broken Sony Xperia Tablet Z SGP321. It freezes constantly and artifacts etc and everything keeps force closing and the device just hard reboots. It's a hardware problem. The closest board replacement I can see is a USA SGP351 and I live in Ireland. Should this just work ok and all that should be different are the LTE bands? My network Meteor uses 800mhz and 1800mhz and I heard USA uses 1700-2000mhz meaning it will probably still work in some areas. I'm not too fussed if it doesn't, but should everything else function correctly if I buy the replacement board Wi-Fi etc?
Thanks in advance.

Also, SGP351 uses slightly different firmware, than SGP321.

Alright thanks so the main difference is that I wouldn't be able to use lte. As long as the tablet still works and uses Wi-Fi it's ok. That's the closest motherboard variant I could find on eBay with the only others being the Wi-Fi only. Since mine has the aim slot I was thinking what if the hardware doesn't work properly with a Wi-Fi only board because it's different.
EDIT: The motherboard in it either has failing RAM, EMMC or the GPU is failing. Everything just force closes and it keeps lagging then restarting. It's a bonus to even get the option to have 3G just once it works on Wi-Fi. I took a gamble and bought it faulty for €80 but it looks like the LCD itself is worth that much so it's definitely woth repairing at €85 for that motherboard. I know the Wi-Fi only version uses a different kernel and firmware though the boards look alike apart from the SIM slot and mobile radio antenna etc. but I didn't wanna risk buying a Wi-Fi only oard for this tablet in case something doesn't work properly over it.
Everything else seems fine the speakers, cameras and battery etc.
Like the title implies, I was using a galaxy s7 to connect. Now that I have upgraded, I have not been able to connect to the adapter as usual. I have upgraded firmware on the adapter to the current version. The phone also updated to its most current version. I have been able to connect to a Samsung tv via smart view. It holds the connection.
I see on Microsoft's website that listed for Android support only goes to version 5.0. Why would this protocol not work though... thought it was standard.
Anyone have suggestions?
Anyone using another dongle to connect direct to tv without having Wi-Fi available?
Regards
That is the same problem for me. I wish I had a solution. It worked perfectly yesterday. Today my note 8 got the oreo update. Now i connect, shows the screen mirror as normal, but disconnects after about 2 seconds.
Microsoft wireless firmware is 2.0.8350. Wish I could roll back the android update.
Not getting much response on here but I think I found that Samsung has stopped supporting MHL a crucial protocol for using anything other than Samsung's smart view connectivity or Google Chromecast. These are not the best options for me and a serious setback for a new phone and operating system. I hope they change their mind if not I may be looking at other options.
Many are ditching the old protocols. You just got on it at the start.
Do you happen to know if there are any non-wifi dependent screen mirror options (either wired or wireless) that will work to an hdmi source?
I guess the usb-c to hdmi would still work. Miracast is the component no longer available?
Can anyone confirm if the A52 5G has ant+. I use this for connecting to sports accessories such as HRM, Speed/Cadence etc. Tried the Samsung Support chat but after 30 minutes no real idea. It shows up on some spec sites but not others.
TIA
It doesn't I'm afraid. Neither do the s20fe or any of the s21 devices.
****e move on samsungs part eh?
I bought it anyway and will connect my old external Ant+ dongle when needed. Seems to work. Great phone apart from that
