I have an alpine deck with a usb input and when I use a data stick or my phone which is a Samsung Vibrant it conencts and I can search my files and play my music. When i hook up my galaxy tab it says its connected on the tablet to the usb but on by deck it says no usb device connected. Does anyone have any suggestions or anything for me?
In the wireless and network settings / usb settings maybe you have to select usb mass storage.

Sorry if this is a stupid question but the cable that is shipped (included) in the box with the Tab just charges the tab, or can I use it to connect the Tab to the pc (windows) USB socket and transfer my files to the Tab ( like movies, pictures etc..? I had Asus Transformer before and their cable did exactly that. Is it the same with Samsung or do I have to purchase different cable to do that?
Thank you
also what is USB dongle? I don't get it.

Yes. If connected to a PC, the tab will transfer files but not charge. (Unless it is fully turned off)
If the same cable is connected to a charger, it will charge the tab.
The "USB dongle" is probably referencing a USB host adapter. This allows you to plug in USB devices (thumb drives, keyboards, etc) to the tab.

Turn off USB debugging. Then plug one end into your Galaxy Tab and the other into your computer. It will show up as a drive and allow you to copy files over.
I did this just this morning and it worked like a charm. With USB debugging turned on, my Galaxy Tab was showing up as a modem that I couldn't do anything with.
Can you tell me where I turn off USB debuging? I know how to debug the browser so the web sites look like desktop sites, but don't know where to turn off the USAB debug. Plus - I still don't have the Tab, buying this afternoon. Thank you for help.

Not necessarily. You need an operating system with built-in MTP support (Win7, maybe Vista, apparently not XP?), and you may need to install Samsung drivers.
The tablet does not support traditional USB Mass Storage mode (works on any OS after Win98SE) at all.
Options for transfer are either MTP, or push/pull via ADB (Turn on USB debugging and install Droid Explorer for the latter.)
hi all what do i need to buy to use my note as a mini android pc, by this i mean connect it to my 46" 1080p tv and use my phone via a mouse and keyboard wireless, is it possible ?

thankyou
Bluetooth mouse, keyboard and MHL HDMI adapter for the video.
will these work
Mini Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard with Mouse Control

MHL to HDMI (Micro USB)TV Adpator for HTC Sensation/EVO & Samsung Galaxy S2/TAB

Both item will work on the Galaxy Note.
Only that you will need the HDMI connection wire for the TV and also the main charger for the phone. You can use the main charger that comes with the phone but need to purchase a HDMI wire.
The BlueTooth keyboard should work.
Another gadget that is really useful is the USB OTG wire. With this, one can use the phone as the "Host" and connect another device such as keyboard, mouse and external Thumb Drive or SD card to the phone. One can use the mouse, keyboard and also the external drive. You can transfer files from the external drive to the phone and vice versa without the need of a PC. Only problem is you will be using the phone's power as the port is not available for charging. Great for small job and file transfer when PC is not available.
This a rather specific issue, but none of the forums for my car were able to give me an answer. I drive a 2013 Hyundai Sonata GLS.
So I just recently switched from iPhone to Android, and I have been having a **** of a time getting the phone to connect to the car via the USB port in my 2013 GLS. With my iPhone, it was as simple as plug n play...not so much with the Android (it's a Verizon LG G2, for what it's worth), as every time I plug in the USB cable, I get "Connection Error" on the screen, and then it just switches back to whatever audio mode I was in before.
I know the USB port actually says "iPod" underneath it specifically, but the owner's manual vaguely hints at a universal USB music mode...I've gone through the menus and tinkered with some of the options, but am unable to find a solution. I really do not want to use Bluetooth. I will buy a car charger and aux cable and just have two connections if need be, but I gotta believe there's a way to have a non-iOS device hooked up through the USB port and be able to play music through it. I don't even need metadata to show up on the screen, just a simple connection would do it!
I am running AOKP 4.4.2. This issue persists even with MTP USB mode activated.
Hi, I have an S4 with touchscreen and displays broken. I want to ask if is there any possibility to enable S4 bluetooth with pc? I want to use the S4 with Kodi, like a mini Pc and connect it with my TV. I have a MHL cable and i see the image on my TV but i can't use the phone, if i don't know how to enable the bluetooth to connect the mouse.
Hello,
Anyone knows how to properly use the USB port to connect to a car HU to play songs?
When i connect the cable between the HU to the phone, the USB notification doesn't list audio source as an option.
Tried using the developer option, Select USB Configuration option to audio source but no luck in getting audio playing with it as the option would reset to MTP.
Anyone has any ideas?
Thank you.
