future options

Hi guys! Thanks for your valued labours! I know these are boring questions to you, but.......
Are there any chinks of light in the 'Bluetooth tunnel'?
Is there any possibility that in the future the sd port could be modified to sd/io?
Could an sd/io slot from another PDA be modified to fit in place of the sd or are there other reasons why this won't work?
And finally, will the upgrades mentioned on xda-developers.com work over here (GB)? And will they really allow me to connect wifi to my laptop, thus allowing me to use my XDA as a modem?
Sorry I'm so technically challenged.

No. Well, there's really small serial bluetooth adapters now, and someone just might stick one on the serial port. But then you'd still need drivers...

No clue, and the only ones to know are HTC, who haven't been articularly communicative about this device. SDIO slots are not a part you can just transplant. These are functions of chips or chipsets on the motherboard.

The upgrade allows you to use the XDA as a modem through a serial cable or using IRDA (Infrared). It will not allow you to do anything using WaveLAN. The term 'Wireless Modem' refers to the fact that GPRS and GSM are wireless, I guess...

Replies to my queries
Thanks for replying to my queries, it is very frustrating that such an aesthetically pleasing & ground-breaking piece of kit like the XDA should have so many hurdles which prevent it being used to it's full advantage.
Such is life! Keep up the improvements! Thanks again! 8)

Remember it was designed 4 years ago, before Bluetooth and SDIO. Even SD had to stretch to get into it!

samsung i700
Samung i700 is the solution for those trying to use
bluetooth on xda. The other one is to wait for the
new xda with pocket pc 2003 maybe early next year.

samsung i700
Does anyone know anything about the i700, what it costs, when it's available (the Netherlands) etc. etc.

you see that HDMI cable EPL-3PHP is compatible with p1000 .
and EPL-1PLR usb host too.
official Samsung

HDMI compatbility
It also says that is compatible with the P1010, does it means that could work for such a device connected trough the HDMI dock? This could be an actual good news from Samsung, who doesn't use to give much of these ones!

Yes, I've seen this but I fear the German Samsung site seems to be misleading in this regard, there are at least good reasons the USB Connection Kit is not compatible with our tab.
I'll try to contact them (EDIT: Done, now waiting for an answer) and will report here...

Any updates on this? Intrigued by this, but I am very sceptical and think this is just an error by the German site.

fact
ECR-D980 Dock has a hdmi out , so why should the epl-3php not be compatible ?
anyway we someone that tested b4.

finally 3g dongles work on nexus 7 with simple widget

i used this app to make my Huawei 3g dongles work on my nexus 7 and it is very simple just install the app and enter your apn of your operator connect your dongles via otg cable and it will work the app available on google play store called ppp widget here is the link it is for rooted device
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.draisberghof.pppwidget

i want 3g dongle support without rooting as i fear it nullifies the warranty

It won't nullify it. People returned their n7s rooted and customs Roms and received their replacements. You can always unroot and return to full stock. I doubt we will ever see official support for 3g dongles.

you have a nexus man.no need to worries about that.google offer system images also for this,every nexus broken i heard of was changed in RMA without problems of custom roms\kernels\root
EDIT damn,in the ppp's app comment on googl play there's a comment by an italian who sad that k3765 web keys don't works.it's the same i own,from vodafone carrier (included in my dsl contract)but i never ever tried due to fact i haven't the usbOTG cable (ordered yesterday from ebay).i think that in many web key it's needed a little rework via putty (app for windows).i did this on my wb key tom have it working on transformer,and i think that being both asus tablets,and with this little work,many types of web key can works.curious to test it hen i receive my cable!

yes,it's very simple man.RMA is the assistence centre in case of problems.with nexus image i refer to THIS.they are google's images for users who want to re-stock the tab to its natural conditions,or if you screwed the tab and want to do a clean install\format of all.it's praticaally the google standard firmwares for related version of nexus devices.with that you can always restore it with factory's state.there's more to read,do a simple search here or google,we are OT with that.
EDIT
if yu have a not-working key web,i suggest trying THIS,how explained from D and so on with the app putty for windows.pratically it deactivate the composite devices of the 3g dongle

I am from India too, got my N7 in August, I have been in the US since the last 2 years, moving back in Nov. Dont worry, Asus said they will honor N7 warranty in India. Plus N7 is launching in India in Nov for around 15k. So please dont commit sacrilege by not rooting a nexus. Its part of the Android commandments- "Thou shalt not use thine nexus unrooted."

I tried this with a friend's huawei, can't remember which model but newer than mine and it worked fine. With my E160 it goes a bit nuts, won't detect a modem and doesn't work with manual settings.
Does anyone have an E160 working with their N7?

Got it, for anyone interested, sending the following at command to the modem port (use a computer to do this, use Google to find a utility for your OS, Hyper Terminal works on Windows) disables the built in SD card reader and the emulated CD ROM drive. Now it works in the N7 after a reboot.
at^u2diag=0
If you want to enable them again (and stop it working on the N7) it's
at^u2diag=255

I can confirm that this works with my 3G/UMTS ZTE K4505, commonly found in Europe (I am using it with Vodafone.de). Only had to manually set the PIN and the APN. The wiget itself is a bit finnicky with my set up - Stickmount seems to interfere when the widget is looking for an open modem port and attempts to mount the inbuilt Micro-SD reader on the stick. I simply unmount all devices via Stickmount, remove PPP widget from my home screen and then re-add it. This seems to fix the problem, I am then able to connect.
Kudos to Josua!

If you ever need to use the warranty you can unroot, or if you are really worried you can even do a complete factory restore, and nobody can ever tell that you were rooted. The only time Google/Asus is going to care is if you use the warranty and say something is wrong with their hardware but it turns out it was actually something wrong in your software (which is why it's a usually good idea to do a factory restore before sending it in, rooted or not, because doing so eliminates that variable).

PPP widget DOESN'T work with e3131 dongles. Can anyone confirm whether disabling the sd slot would solve the problem? (on the dongle, that is, not the tab)

You say that but you're wrong in my situation. The widget can't recognize a dongle with an SD card as a dongle. Someone has picked up on it here but there are no clear instructions unfortunately.

Working fine with my E160 here. Try to not use an internal microSD in it. Sometimes the widget just hangs, so remove and then re-add it.

Working fine with mine even if there's a memory card insterted. ZTE HSPA+ MF668A.
Try searching for "AT commands to disable automount of cdrom/removable media" specific to your dongle.
After that, upon inserting the dongle to your N7, it will still ask you if you wanted PPP Widget or stickmount to use. Choose "just once" and not "always". So you can use the dongle as a modem, or a removable drive anytime.

I got it working by disabling to CD drive and the SD reader with AT commands. Works flawlessly now but it didn't matter what I did before doing that, it just didn't work. Possibly different E160 firmware.

I can confirm that it won't work with an OTG adapter, the HTC One has insufficient voltage to power the controller.
However, I think it's possible to use it via bluetooth. But I'm not certain about that, it'll be best to let someone else confirm that.

Thanks
It it works over bluetooth that's fine I just want to make sure it works.

I've also tried and it doesn't work. I don't think its a matter of insufficient power either, everything I plug in gives that warning and most of it works regardless. I'll try with a powered USB hub too, but I expect it not to work there either.

MHL Support

So, officially the S5 mini has no MHL support. My question is if there are any kernel options when compiling to enable such support? Any way this is a software issue easily corrected like the OTG-support?

Always
Enviado desde mi iPhone utilizando Tapatalk

There is indeed an option for it and the kernel compiles successfully, but the whole driver was marked as "experimental" which is likely why it never made it into the final builds. I have no MHL cables to debug with either but I'll see if I can get hold of one. That or Samsung might complete the code when stock Lollipop comes out(If that ever even happens)

Always huh.. well there is always the possibility of a relevant IC missing or something.
CurtisMJ I would be thrilled to test it on my 800F using two different brands of MHL cables if you have a kernel I can flash with OTG also enabled.
Also what is the difference between physical hdmi interface and mhl interface? I saw both drivers are options.

Attached is a build of my custom kernel with MHL enabled(I prefer Rashr for flashing). Confirmed bootable. I've enabled all the debugging options for the MHL drivers in the meantime. Not sure about the difference between physical HDMI and the MHL driver. I can only assume one is a virtual device only there for providing protocol support(At least that's usually how it works).
Proceed with caution

Confirmed not working with old style 5-pin mhl adapter. No surprise there. Will try to buy 11 pin tomorrow.

OTG might need to be toggled via the SysFS switch, but yeah, I wouldn't get my hopes up.

OTG-support for G800F confirmed with kernel from the android development forum.

Did Any developer realize a working mhl kernel?

I flashed the kernel attached. After that it says "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" and Device don't boot anymore.
Flashing the stock kernel solves the problem.
So I can't use mhl.
I tried also Tu use a kernel with enabled otg, otg works, mhl doesn't.
Thanks
