i have a v1615 and want to use it to play online with my ps3 (which is in my car so i need some form of mobile connection) i have tried using WMWifiRouter which didnt work and i have tried using it wired but with no luck so has anyone got any ideas to help me???
i wouldnt recomend it unless you data service is free. coz the information that would download is insane and not to mention the data transfer speed will be slow
data useage isnt an issue as im Vodafone staff and on a true unlimited plan. I also have a HSDPA wireless usb modem and if you could think of a way to use that to get me ps3 online ide appreciate it!
see due to the price i aint got either a ps3 so i cant really help there, i just didnt want you doing it then getting a huge bill
tell us more bout your setups

The car solution please.
aye sorry internet went off what zee zee said
7" monitor in my head unit, ps3 (via crappy aux cables), psp and nokia n95 linked to a scart box which goes to the head unit. sub and amp in the boot ps3 powered off the amp via a invertor and the missing piece of the puzzle is online gaming also getin a 10.4" fold down roof mounted screen for the back but gota wait til payday now
i might be wrong here but i think youd need a driver on your ps3. so it recognises the tytn 2. but i wouldnt kno how to do that
What problems were you having with WMWifiRouter?
I use the paid version and it works flawlessly.
What steps did you take to try to get it working on the wired connection? I've used internet sharing through my usb cable and bluetooth and gotten it to work before, but depending on your computer and rom setup you may have issues (I've certainly run into a few).
EDIT: I assumed you had a computer in the car too but reading back I see no mention of this. If you have a laptop or a car computer you can use, this would solve your issue plus give you a computer in the car
Use clearwire
Is there a possible way to connect a mouse to the pda? I hate when I try to play a online game the screen keeps sliding instead of acting as a mouse. Is there a way how I can use a mouse?
hopefully I'll get as much as answers as I do as views.
I'm interested in that too!
There's something called Teksoft USBInput - I just found it yesterday, but haven't tried it yet.
If you can get the right cable adapters put together, I'd imagine that it would work.
Yes, I agree with bdusmc! I too found USBInput not that long ago and have installed the software on my PPC. Recently though, I found the part I was looking for on ebay ($1 and free shipping) and ordered it. I assume it will be arriving soon and I anticipate seeing if it works. I'll let you know if it works, okay? I'm really hoping that it works because well, it would be amazing. Sure you have a slide out keyboard but hey, I have a full sized USB keyboard. WHAT NOW!? lol Ultimate friend pwnge will occur I'm sure. However, if I had the new keyboard from FastFingerKeyboards it would make things more practical then fun....
i think it should be possible and awesome
Sorry for the late response but I've been waiting on the replacement part. You see, it did not connect using the first mini USB to USB Female adapter I purchased nor on the second one I received just today. At this point I can not concluded if it is the adapter or another problem. Anyways, you're welcome to try it and let me know if you can get it to work... Maybe BlueInput would work. The sad thing about that is it uses bluetooth which will decrease the battery life rapidly and bluetooth keyboards are more expensive. Oh well!
You may not know how useful USB host is. You can use USB stick (up to 32GB), USB keyboard, USB mouse.
If it had USB host, I'd buy it for sure (wifi only).
Sadly NO...
On German Amazon its possible to pre order the device and the datasheed isnt saying something about USB Host

This one was my favorite (because of the Phone capability) until you asked this very good question
Maybe they got it rooted in future and then its possible? (depends also on hardware...)

I'd guess that its not going to ever have the capability without hacking. I don't think any device has that at the moment.
I guess what gets hacked depends on what the hackers think is worth doing, and I can see that USB host would be an especailly awesome thing for the Tab so hopefully it will get some interest.
If its a game breaker, you may well be disappoited for a long while tho. This kind of hacking doesn't happen over night.

This is SO true. I remember people trying for years to hack USB host mode in to Nokia's Linux Tablets: the N770 and such. I wonder: Did they ever manage to do it?

Please someone correct me if I'm wrong (as I don't have the device in question) but doesn't the Nokia N8/E7 support just that? I seem to remember a video demonstration of the N8 supporting an USB memory stick.
Also, the Tab will have a dock that has a keyboard, so it's not totally impossible for it to have USB host capabilities.

I don't know about the N8, sadly I just don't have much interest in that part of the mobile space. However, some googling seems to indicate that it is possible (news articles say so) but I don't know if its naitive or needs hacking.
As for the keyboard and stuff, thats a good point. I can't see them using a non-usb standard for that, so it must just be the proprietary connector that makes the difference. In that case, all we should need is a Tab-USB connector, and a few drivers. That would really give the tab some muscle.
In general can mobile devices support the USB min-harddrives ? The ones that power from the port ? If thats possible then the tab will kick serious ass. 250 gigs in your pocket for cheaper than a microSD card.
I'm not really a fan of Nokia's products either, although they USED to make great products they haven't done so in awhile. And I *hate* Symbian. Anyways, at least the N8 DOES have some USB Host capabilities:
"Among the Nokia N8's neater tricks is its support for USB On-The-Go, which basically lets you connect USB peripherals (flash drives, for example) to the phone and have it act as a host..."
http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/nokia-n8s-usb-on-the-go-support-demoed-lesser-phones-turned-in/
That was almost perfectly offtopic, sorry for that ^_^
Oh, or not, perhaps! Look what I JUST found:
"USB Standard port adapter
With this kit your Galaxy Tab becomes a standard USB port. With this USB port you can synchronize your digital camera or other devices."
http://www.oled-display.net/more-sa...s-bluetooth-pen-standard-usb-adapter-and-more
Well if they are going to officially make an adapter then maybe we are going to get USB Host... I can't see how you could transfer things off a digicam without the Tab hosting it as a drive.
Well... This looks pretty awesome then.
But they *CAN* cripple the functionality to just mass-storage devices or perhaps just cameras, like Apple did with their USB Camera connection kit, or whatever it was called.
Let's just hope that Samsung doesn't go that route.
Hopefully samsung aren't that stupid Although in theory we should be able to hack it back open anyway, and its a good start at least.
Sorry to resurrect this old thread, but I'm also wondering about usb host (or at least OTG) on the Tab (as I'm considering buying on to port Meego to).
Could someone who has the keyboard doc post the dmesg output once it's been plugged in please?
From some dmesg output I saw elsewhere (but not with the keyboard dock), it appears that the USB chipset is an OTG version, and seeing it act in host mode with the keyboard doc plugged in would be a nice confirmation.
I Would be interested to see the anser for this one.
Yes it is launched (mainly for photographers) i have seen it's price, very cool cheap at £10000 plus something!

It's not the Fools Day yet, so keep your jokes at bay.
OK, I just ordered a keyboard dock and I'll have a look. I'll post a dmesg output and open it to see if the PCB is marked in any way.
According to the pinout (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9925838) there seems to be no other way for data to flow apart from USB.
So one of the following must (should) be true:
1. Samsung is reusing the pins for a proprietary protocol -probably reconfiguring the device by pulling up or down other pins.
2. The device is capable of host/OTG mode but it is probably unpowered and it probably needs a pin pull-up/pull-down to enable.
3. The keyboard is using unidentified pins, and the USB pins are used simply for the PC connection and power.
Does anyone know if the keyboard acts as a proper dock? i.e. when you connect it to the pc does it work at the same time as (say) KIES or drive mount?
Just a quick update, the keyboard was just shipped, and I should have it by Tuesday.

Hi,
Just wondering whether you got any further with this?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA Premium App
There was a problem with my order (the company didn't have any in stock) and the keyboard hasn't arrived yet. Still waiting!
I'll post the moment it arrives.
EDIT: Normally I would name and shame the company, but they are sending me a couple of freebies for their mistake so I'm happy
USB host
This is a good concept. I have an Archos 70 and a Galaxy tab. Archos has a micro usb port with which I connected my USB host adapter and the key board and mouse works . Flash drive and router dongle says more power required. So I am looking for a powered USB connector for this.
Unfortunately, Galaxy tab has different cable and I dont know if I can find a host cable for this. Any suggestion?
Worth a shot?
After reading this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9925838
I checked the G-Tab pinout :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDMI
and tried to ground pin 13 to put the tab in host mode last night... needless to say since I'm typing this on my computer... epic fail. However, I'm curious if anyone else has had any success with this.
I'm not too much of a fan of buying something to destroy... but if I have to disassemble a dock to get the pinout for monitor mode... suck!
Anyone have any advice as to what I jacked up here?
Hi,
I think there is some problem with the micro USB connector on my TP so I was looking for videos or tutorials which could help me replace it or repair it. I came across this tear down video http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/it...-like-a-pc-and-straightforward-to-repair/2707 which shows that there is space in the TP for a 3G module which was supposed to be present in the future 4G models. My question here is, can we buy a 3G module for the TP? If yes, how can we use it on AOKP (or any other Android ROM) or even WebOS? I also saw this item on ebay but i think its for a laptop more than the TP http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ericsson-F5...250903976024?pt=AU_Modems&hash=item3a6b0ad858. Please let me know if you guys know anything about it.
Also, is it possible to repair or replace the micro USB connector?? Please help me with that.
Thanks.
My understanding is that there are some additional hardware differences in the 4G TP which is why the few 4G TP's out there cannot take CM9 at the moment. Hence I don't think it will be as simple as sourcing and installing the radio module (otherwise I am sure it would have featured somewhere already).
Can't comment on the micro-USB; maybe someone else has poked around inside.
OK. Well, I didn't know that HP actually manufactured 4G TPs! As for the USB connector, I think there is something wrong with the cable as my TP is charging fine with my phone charger. Don't know whether I should be doing that or not though!
I regularly charge my TP with my HTC phone charger & lead and also a Blackberry Playbook charger - no issues in the 6 months I have been doing that.
I just upgraded to an Lg G5 and would like to make use of my M8 instead of sell it.
So I've got one those Y OTG cables but apparently the charging female port is for charging other devices rather than the phone itself. So I'm guessing I need something like this cable but that actually charges the phone too. Any recommendations otherwise, and in addition, can anyone recommend a solar charger that could keep this bad boy powered whilst video recording with motion detection? Otherwise I need that cable if it exists.
And what is the process to connect to a pc and have your phone display pop up on the pc screen? Is "plug-n-play" or more involved? Just need a little direction.
Thanks!
