Is it possible to use an Ethernet adapter? - Galaxy View Accessories

Hello,
Is it possible to use a USB to Ethernet adapter on the Galaxy View, such as the ET-UP900 from Samsung?
Thank you in advance.

Thanks for the information, but the question was not about existing products (which I knew actually) but whether the Galaxy View can use them successfully. According to one answer on Amazon.com about the Samsung model, it seems to work. So I have ordered it.

Hi, i ve just bought it and it doesn't work. i ve got bobjgear adaptator... I m so disapointed.

I got the Samsung Original LAN USB HUB Adapter (ET-UP900) for Galaxy Note Pro /Tab Pro and it works fine.
I also have a keyboard and mouse working via the 2 USB ports provided. Looks like USB devices that demand more power than the View can provide can also be charged separately over a USB3 connector - very good adapter.

Does it work?
Does the Samsung LAN/USB hub (model ET-UP900) that you bought work for the Samsung Galaxy View 18.4" big tablet (SM-T670)?? How do you set it up on the 18.4" tablet?? Thanks.

Yes it works, just plug it in and it works. Typing this from a Galaxy view with Mac keyboard attached (brightness, media transport, volume function keys work, numpad numbers don't work, but arithmetic keys work), mouse attached (scroll wheel works), and ethernet all attached to ET-UP900.

Galaxy View
My friend, thank you so much for letting me know. :highfive: Do you think Samsung will provide Galaxy View with an update to Android Marshmallow 6.0 ? I bought a Samsung stylus (from this site
fonejoy.com/genuine-samsung-t365-galaxy-tab-active-stylus-pen-gh98-34603a.html ) with the intention of using it on the Galaxy View. However, it doesn't work on Galaxy View. It's mind boggling because this stylus comes with the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active and is supposedly an ordinary capacitive stylus (source: sammobile.com/2014/09/25/samsung-galaxy-tab-active-hands-on ) . Does a capacitive stylus work on the Galaxy View???

I really hope they will update to Android 6.0. I bought it when it was reduced in price because I had an Amazon gift card, and the Lenovo PB2-690N that is same size was announced but not available yet. I hope that when it is out Samsung will finally release a 6.0 update.
A capacitive stylus really should work with this touchscreen.

Galaxy View 18.4 & Marshmallow
Yeah, that galaxy tab active stylus pen gh98-34603a doesn't work for View. Do you know of a way to make it work? Sigh. Blew quite a lot of money on a useless stylus. I sure hope Samsung gives Android 6.0 to the View. Is your View buggy due to the Android 5 Lollipop? Mine doesn't work well.

Hi,
because of this statement I brought the ET-UP900 Lan USB Hub Adapter, but it doesn't work on my Samsung Galaxy View device.
Did you Configured something or just Plug an play?

What are you trying to plug in? It might be the hub is working but your device is not.

Hmm, maybe you can try going to The Ethernet tab on the Other Networks page. Is it grayed out? Heavens, I am planning to buy that ethernet adapter for my Galaxy View humungous 19 inch tablet althought the adapter is still quite expensive .... selling for USD80 on ebay the last time i checked.

I just want to use the Ethernet Device, the USB Connections are not interesting for me.
I can't find any option to enable Ethernet.

do you only use the usb hub or really use the ethernet device with disabled wifi?

I used everything, mouse, keyboard and Ethernet. All worked. PaulineLam95 is right. More options. It was not grayed out for me. I had en0 connection

I can't believe, on the more connection setting I only have the Options: Printing an VPN.
Ethernet does not work! A Mouse on the Hub works.

Is your Galaxy View a Verizon (SM-T677VZKBVZW) or AT&T (SM-T677AZKBATT) variant with the 64GB storage? Those versions probably have ethernet option disabled.

Dock with USB OTG & Charging

Hi All,
I now have the Atrix with lapdock and it's really useful for travel in that I get a small lightweight system without having to lug a company issue laptop. I'd hoped to replace it with Note and a small hub to allow me to use my HDD to move files from say the HDD to my phone or to another USB drive in case I have to give another person files, etc.
Does anyone know if this is available for the Int'l Note?
Been looking but haven't seen much. I could buy a mini powered USB hub I guess but a dock would be nicer. AND if the hub had say 3 or 4 USB ports then I could plug mouse, kbd, hdd, and have one open port. BUT, that's so messy and half/ass looking. Plus I would have to prop up the Note to either type on screen or use a keyboard.
This is about as close as I can think of. http://www.spider-foot.com/battery-...ng-galaxy-note-n7000-i9220-i92h5e-p-1125.html
Im thinking about picking one up if I find that I have a need for a desk dock

You can get a OTG adapter cable for your GNote which allows you to upload and download files, picts, video, music etc to a thumb drive to and from the GNote. I got mine from Amazon for like $3.50 or so. It has a micro USB to hook up to the phone and a USB for the thumb drive. I have not seen much luck on using the cable with a HDD, and I have not tried.

And there is no difference between them physically. Both phones use a micro USB port in the same location and orientation. There is a US version, I dont know why it links the European model in my post tho.
I ordered one and it should be here next week I hope.

Any further info on this dock? Did it receive it yet and are you happy with it? I bought the official samsung dock that is compatible with the AT&T Note but I have a slim case on it so the Micro USB port didn't reach far enough! This one looks nice but it probably has the same issue with a thin case preventing a good contact with the micro USB port.

This cable works only on Nokia 5800.
There are no Android phones that support TV-out via 3.5mm jack. Some phones have HDMI port for this, but most don't.
Now, microUSB-HDMI adapter is known to work on some Androids, but LWW has not been tested. So we also do not know, if there is any app for it or not.
2nd way would be DLNA, but that only supports media files.
Thanks man

i still confused how to use DLNA?
I already tried the Samsung "Micro USB <-> HDMI" cable and it dindt work. But that cable it's a bit weird, you have to connect the charger to the cable. Maybe a generic "Micro USB <-> HDMI" cable works

You don't connect the charger to the adapter.
I am not sure, if Xperia's support TV-out from microUSB. If not, then likely will not work.
For DLNA, you need the original file from stock ROM.

In Xperia Mini st15a, DLNA can be used through an app what initiate an server what give access for media content like videos and photos, and if you have an eletronic like a notebook or tv with dlna certified, then they have the client to connect to the server and execute these contents. Although, windows 7 comes with dlna client, windows media center, through wifi (dlna is a protocol what runs over wifi).
I asked in my country to Sony support about MHL, they say what the only device is the Xperia Arc S what have MHL ... but i can't confirm that, and the new Xperia U, P etc etc maybe have. However, for us owners of xperia 2011 devices, theres no mhl function, and i searched a lot... so i found xBounds, google it.
About cables through jack, the same, don't work... Sony have an oficial cable to x1 i guess, but not for live's or mini's.
Search also about mirrorOp app on Google Play Store.
PS3 have dlna also and Sony have an app on Play called VScreens.
ps: sry by the english.

"No problem" about threads, just be careful. One day I made this also . Post an answer on your thread with a link to this post.
And it we go again... all noob have hope about the HDMI in service menu...
Yes, in service menu there is a button for hdmi test. All Android with service menu have a button for hdmi test. All Android with this button kinda have hdmi software support. But, in order to use HDMI properly, the device need a hardware what support HDMI, for example, MHL need an USB socket and a circuit, HDMI need a HDMI socket and a circuit.
In this case, is all about hardware not only software. Although, there are some ways to do screen mirroring, some hardwares and softwares. I bet in xBounds.
No one tried to plug an MHL adapter in mini's or live's, because no one reported if work or not, all we have is a uncertainty. No one tried to plug another kind of cable and reported if work or not. *No one since the latest search I made.
I haven't tried to use an MHL adapter yet because I don't found it in my country so easily and don't found a MHL adapter "more appropriate".
I just need search for a friend or visit some seller what I can meet to test it. I don't found yet.

Doubt not. You're obviously too busy to look it up . Suffice to say that entering "android tv out 3.5mm" or "galaxy s tv" on a well known phone spec checker (sometimes known as 'giyf') gives prominent links to the correct accessory and video demos.

The Sidekick 4g does as well. 4pin 3.5mm TRRS (Left,Right,Ground,Video) cables work on it. So does the Galaxy S II (i9100), and according to Samsung's website, with "Samsung Exhibit™ 4G Android Smartphone Samsung Captivate™ Android Smartphone Samsung Vibrant™ Android Smartphone Galaxy S™ 4G Android Smartphone Samsung Omnia® II Touchscreen Smartphone"
Composite video on 3.5mm jack, and most of those phones have MHL over usb or hdmi as well. Suck on that non-believer.
Samsumg have nice phones.
Sadly theres no MHL, or jack, or HDMI, or magic for xperia mini/pro, et cetera.
Is really unpleasant what the demostration video for LiveDock cause the impression of is possible do tv out for any phone Xperia, but this was discussed before, the true is what the phone in demostration has your own HDMI out. Even the docks with HDMI out, is for phones that already have the HDMI out builded in.
We have just a long wait for xBounds becomes a true for us, because is the only resource what seems work as we need and want.
Of course there's another solutions, but the issue is the delay, but this is not problem, for example, if you want just show content in non-real time.

I should've known, it didn't list P6800 in there, but I went ahead and gave it a try, and it doesn't work.
I thought any USB/SD card reader for the Galaxy Tab line was compatible with all Galaxy Tab devices as long as they supported USB OTG...

Okay, I just tried again and the adapter I posted above works. Turns out I just didn't push hard enough. Adapter works flawlessly!
I purchased a $4 USB adapter for my p6810 off of eBay and it works fine. I can't see any reason to pay $30 for the official Samsung adapter.
I bought the USB adapter for £1.80,
Works with 7plus and 7.7,

[Q]Docking pad for galaxy s2 to support hdmi, usb and audio out exists?

Hi all,
Imagine: you come home from work, place your Galaxy S2 in your docking pad or station(or w/e its called), turn on the 23"+ monitor and start surfing the internet, listening to music, watching videos/movies - with your docked Galaxy S2 - as a 'PC'
Does such a device exist yet? The dock I'm asking for handles(or should) the following:
- the galaxy s2, charging while docked
- the hdmi monitor
- the usb2.0 keyboard + usb2.0 mouse
- 5.1 or 7.1 audio speakers system
- ethernet port (preffered)
or something similar to this - with the above list - for galaxy s2: http://us.aoc.com/monitor_displays/e2343fi - note the: "with built-in iPhone®/iPod® dock."

You will never find a dock which allows HDMI and USB simultaneously. MHL simply doesn't work that way. Only one (either HDMI out, or USB) can be used at a time.
You'll need a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse to achieve this

that one works for s3, but it seems the usb slots will not work, hardware limitation on phone?
whats the difference that note2 has and s3 doesnt have, that lets the usb work on note2 but not on s3?

Yes, I should have been more clear. 5 pin MHL on the i9100 does not support simultaneous USB & HDMI. This is a hardware limitation.
Note 2 and Galaxy S3 have 11 pin MHL.

There are many versions of "the samsung multimedia dock", for many models of Samsung phones. You'll need to be more specific.
And no external dock is going to change the fact that the i9100 has a 5-pin MHL connection, which still will not support simultaneous HDMI out and USB.
As for the off-topic, there are adapters you can get in order to plug an S3 into an existing 5-pin MHL adapter.
EDIT: here's one direct from Samsung.

[Q] How to enable Nexus 9 USB OTG Ethernet?

Hi all,
Just received my Nexus 9, it got updated to stock Android 5.0.1.
Unfortunately, Ethernet isn't working via USB OTG cable. Does anyone know how to enable it or do I have to install CyanogenMod for Ethernet support?
Thanks!

has this ever been possible? i have never heard of any android device being able to accept internet though an OTG and usb\ethernet adapter...
Not sure about stock Android, but CyanogenMod 4.4.4 works on Ethernet via OTG on my Nexus 7.

That should work. My Ethernet adapter is being used on my nexus player or I would test for you.
Does it have linux driver?

I've not tried the script, but it's been reported to work elsewhere, also. It doesn't "just work" on my rooted stock N5 with KK. It does, however, work on my rooted stock N7 FHD (L 5.0.1)--"just works." I have the BobjGear Ethernet Adapter for Android that I purchased years ago for my former Toshiba Thrive. The OTG is run-of-the mill Amazon Asian import variety. It worked on my Nexus 7 2012.
I just tried it on my old Galaxy Nexus, and it also "just works." It may have worked on the N4, but I gave it to my son so can't test it.
I would think that it'd be possible... I have a 1Gb/s connection at my house so whenn I have a large file such as an HD movie I need to download right before I go somewhere I plug my Micro USB-to-USB into my Cisco USB 3.0-to-Gig Ethernet and then into my Nexus 7 (2013), running stock 5.0 FYI. I then turn WiFi off, then wait about 20 seconds. Although it does not show that you are connected via Ethernet you are. I ran a simple speed test using Ookla.
With WiFi I was getting up to about 80Mb/s, with my Ethernet setup I was getting around +900Mb/s.

How is 900 meg even possible? Nexus 7 only supports USB 2.0. Even with a gigabit connection, you should not get faster than 480 Mbps.

This app won't work on our nexus 9
Because of 64bit
And
Tasker did not fix the root bug on 64bit
Go here for the script to enable it

Hi there! Just wanted to chime in to note that USB Ethernet works fine on Android 5.0 running on an unmodified Nexus 9. I'm actually sending this through the Ethernet connection I yet have to update to 5.0.1 though and see if it works there as well :fingers-crossed:
Hi together,
I am using a Nexus 9 with Simple AOSP (Android 5.1.1).
For using my ethernet connection I bought this adapter: DONZO® micro USB 2.0 A Stecker auf RJ45 Ethernet Adapter 10/100 Mbit.
When I plug it into the tablet it begins to light up. So I think the tablet recognizes the adapter. (When plugging it into my Nexus 4 it does not light up.)
Now my problem: Nothing happens... If I disable Wifi I get no connection with Chrome.
When looking into netcfg i don't see an eth0 interface.
Also the app "Ethernet" from xda (USBhost) does not work, unfortunatelly... (Nor it works with any of the scripts provided here at xda.)
Anyone knows what could be the problem?
I'd really like to use the tablet with ethernet instead of Wifi at the moment.
Thanks!
Works for me on 5.1.1, unrooted Nexus 9
Possible of interest, I have an UNROOTED Nexus 9, using the factory 5.1.1 image, and I just plugged in an OTA cable, plugged a USB to Ethernet adapter into it, turned off my Wi-Fi, and still have connectivity.
Thus, my tiny little corner of the world is currently a VERY happy place. Thought I'd share my joyousness around the forum.
Which adapter ?
