Hi everyone,
I am willing to buy one of this new kandies - Galaxy tab 10 inch. My question is whether it will support usb host capabilities or not. It is very crucial for my buying/or not decision that I can connect external hd drive so i can carry with me my music and my movies when on vacation.
Please let me know if this capability will be inherent or there is a passthrough.
If not any other suggestions for another tablet?
Thanks in advance
None of the tablets that were announced spoke of USB host as a feature. It's ridiculous!!
Why they keep ignoring it is beyond me. Only tablet I've seen so far with this feature is the Notion Ink Adam
Does anyone think that this is a honeycomb issue? Maybe an update in honeycomb will work things out?
im sure it will via that usb connector thing

There's a connection that plugs into the bottom of the tab and has a USB port, not sure when its coming out

If honeycomb (and pressumably Galaxy tab 10) support usb host mode then maybe the solution is as follows

The xoom also has USB host capability
Acer Iconia Tab has a full sized USB port and has host mode. The new 10.1 and 8.9 Samsung tabs do not.

From what I have read about this mobile so far, it does not allow that. Atleast out of box. Devs might be able to "enable" it if the functionality is built-in but locked down.
Mentioned here as well. So best wait and see.
And by the way, welcome to xda-devs! Hope you like it here...
thanks ...

Any updates on this issue?
I would love to have my HD2 connected to TV using HDMI
i've read many articles about that but the only answer is NO, it isn't possible.
I don't think so, Tim.
I have a usb2.0->dvi adapter and I`m going to try it with my hd2 (android 2.2) within few days via micro usb 2 mini usb cable. But I`m pretty sure that this junk won`t work because of lack of drivers.
Nothing like that is going to work as of this moment. I have read that HTC is going to release a DLNA adapter for TVs to have access to streaming media, but it's not till around Feb of next year (and who knows what can happen between then and now). It seems it'll connect to the TV via HDMI cable and if you would rather not use it as a wireless streamer then you could just plug it in via cable (who knows how compatible it will all be though). So in a way it's closer than you think, but still far away and HTC could come up with some bogus excuse to not release it.
shame on htc...
I'm curious about that

Yes, I've seen some descriptions that say it is, in fact a USB host.
It would be very cool if that is indeed the case. I only wonder what's taking Samsung so long to release a simple dongle?
+1 I want this NOW! Plan to buy a 1.8" 250GB Samsung HDD and fill with movies etc for going on holiday etc.

Mobile media center. Now if only I can charge with the usb host adapter at the same time.
Any idea when this is coming?
Really looking forward to it.
Awesome, just picked up a Galaxy Tab off Craigslist.
Question? Do you think we could use with say a Sprint 3G USB dongle?

But why not get a plan for it? What carrier is it?
Well it's a Sprint one. But I have a data card already and a Smartphone with a plan as well. Trying to see of I could use a dongle or somehow tether with Bluetooth. I may eventually get a pan with it.
I love it so far, very awesome in deed. Was my first experience with Android also. Beein using a Windows Treo Pro.

Has anyone tried anyhting like this?
Anyone got any news on this?
*bump* *bump*
Okay, the baove is mentioning the Hardware but i want to ask about the software since i couldn't recognize that there is anything in the setting related to enabling USB to GO
I dont think this will be available for the 7" first gen Galaxy tabs.
I use a Mogo mouse (Bluetooth) with my Tab - works fine. It charges in the expresscard slot in my laptop. I just ordered a USB-to-expresscard adapter...
My goal is to tap that Tab slot and make an adapter to power the expresscard adapter, thus enabling me to charge the Mogo mouse.

I don't know if I understood you right, but there's no power-out from GTS. Just a heads up!

If you try to connect a USB-dongel it would need drivers, and I don't think there is any android drivers for those.

The Original 7inch galaxy tab never had official support for the usb adapter. The newer versions (7.7, plus) and 10.1 and 8.9 do.
At the moment it seems the only way to get the tab to read usbs, is with a ROM with the usb capable kernal (ICS roms seem to be the only ones that support USB host)
Even then, you need to have the same set up as this because the tab can't supply an external power source itself, hence the need of external power. It's far less elegant than a single adapter like the 10.1 option.
So, I just tried plugging in Samsung's 30-pin to HDMI adapter into my mother's GTab 8.9 and connecting it to our TV, but nothing is being sent to the TV. The tablet makes noise when I plug it into the TV, but nothing happens other than that. I tried loading a video to see if it would only output when playing media, but that didn't work either.
Does the AT&T-branded 8.9 even do HDMI out?
Does it work system-wide, or only in a few special apps?
I want to know it too
Bump.
On a UK tab the HDMI output is system wide.
Yes, but this is the version of the 8.9 that AT&T has had their way with - it wouldn't be the first time that a carrier has removed a feature from a smartphone/tablet because of some ludicrous reason.
My ATT 8.9 does HDMI out, even tried it with multiple TV's. It doesn't work with any of the custom ROM's though.

Ah, just the good news I needed. Might I ask which cable you used and where you bought it from? (model number, etc.) I got mine from a Verizon store and it said it was compatible with the Galaxy Tab series. I assumed that since it used the 30-pin connector that the 8.9 does, it would work.
Im using this one...

Yea, I'm using the same cable (though, I bought mine from a Verizon store) - does yours say KCC-REM-SEC-EPL-3PHPBE on the back?
Help Guys !

Please Help me
If it can work on rooting or if there is some accesories i can buy to make it working .

Hi, you can get a OTG cable (Micro Usb Male 5Pin to USB 2.0 A Female Converter Adapter) for Tab 3 7'', so that you can read your Flash Drive/Pen Drive.
Don't purchase mhl to HDMI adapter for your tab, tab 3 7.0 is not the MHL-enabled device.
