Hi,
I'd like to use my Nexus 7 as a Wlan Stick for my Desktop PC. Is this possible?
I am running the CM night lies.
Thanks a lot.
Probably but can't you just plug in a wifi adapter to your Desktop instead?

Sure I could. But I don't have one

freedompop.com is offering free internet on Clearwire's WiMax network. They give you a USB dongle, would this work with the n7?
Maybe. What's the brand and type of the dongle? If it works with Linux, there are chances that it also works with a rooted Nexus 7 (with a new kernel perhaps).
As suggested, if it work in linux it should work on a rooted n7 with otg cable and the pppwidget app which contains usbmodeswitch

It works with my tf201. I think as long as your device supports cdc and has a usb port you should be in good shape.
I am trying to connect my phone to my PC but they won't communicate. tried to go to recovery 6.0.1.9 but I still mount storage didn't work for me.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Already installed drivers for the N4? Using correct data cable?
Even tried wireless solutions as air droid?
But before you do all these things, is your N4 visible in your pc- explorer?
For further questions just contact me. I'm willing to support you.
Try rebooting. That's what fixed it for me lol. You could also try changing USB Storage mode to PTP or MTP from whatever it's on now.

Had the same problem. I was able to connect it as a camera, but not in mtp mode. I moved all my files into the dcim folder under then used root explorer to get them out of there.

+1 for AirDroid. So simple and reliable that even my 70 year old father uses it.

I use FolderSync. I have it scheduled to automatically back up anything I care about every night at 2am. It just happens and I don't even have to think about it. AirDroid also works fine.

That sounds awesome! but I guess you have to leave your computer ON all night, ain't that right?
I just use ES File Explorer and just transfer them to my Windows shared folder on my network. I rarely use USB cables to transfer files at home unless they're massive.

I connect mine all the time to my windows 7 PC. You have to remember that it connects as an MTP device so it doesn't get assigned a drive letter but it should show up as a device that you can explore.
I use Windows 8 and I use the USB to transfere files between the SD Card and the Laptop.
Connect your phone up to pc while booted into android. Now check your PC's device manager for a failed mtp entry.
If you find one I'll tell you how to fix it.
I have android 4.2 with the USB OTG kernel r165. Usb storage drives, mouse/keyboard and gamepads work however im trying to get a RD9700 ethernet adapter to work with no success
From what ive read the RD9700 is supported on android (albeit at usb1.1 speeds) and it should be as simple as turning wifi off, plugging it in and under settings a new 'ethernet' tab will show up. It doesnt, nor does doing a 'netcfg' in terminal emulator show any 'eth0' adapters.
Has anyone else tried an ethernet adapter? Is there some reason why it wont work on the Nexus4?

Hi, I'm wondering about this too. I got it to work on my Note 2 by compiling the kernel modules and the using 'insmod' to load them each time I needed to. I am thinking of changing to a Nexus 5 when they arrive, but USB ethernet is a must for me. Works out of the box on my N7, but sounds like it needs some work for the smaller nexus.
Hi,
Is there any app that can extend my laptop screen to my nexus 7 tablet?
Thanks!

Thanks! But is it possible to extend your screen or is it only possible to copy is?
Any free alternatives?
TeamViewer?

It works fine with teamviewer
@brokmaker @gsmyth He is not talking about remote desktop solutions. He is asking for an application that makes your tablet into a second monitor for your computer. iDisplay is one of the only alps that does this.

Got it
i found a solution for this problem. i'm running windows 8 and idisplay would only mirror my screen. This is what i did:
go to screen resolution(right mouse button on desktop) and press detect. In my case 2 additional monitors popped up. turn one of these screens on and extend your main monitor. you only have to do this once!!
next start your teamviewer app on your tablet and connect to your laptop/pc. it should detect the monitor you just created so now you can switch to it. thats it. perhaps not the best solution but i couldn't think of something else and trust me i've tried.
about the performance... for me its just as good as idisplay or even better
and a bonus tip i want to share. install connectify on your laptop/pc and connect to your personal hotspot with your tablet. this wil speed things up quite a bit.
I have the galaxy tab 4 10.1 installed in the dash of my truck. I need to be able to charge and use USB otg at the same time. Is there any way to do this? I was able to use a USB otg Y cable to do this with my old nexus 7 bit it doesn't work on this tablet. I've tried googling for answers bit have found anything.

Thanks. I'll give that a try.

Just thought I would share what I found. Not sure if I will get in trouble for this but if you go to bestbuy's website and paste this at the end
site/samsung-usb-connection-kit/2837365.p?id=1218363393359&skuId=2837365
It brings you to a link of a usb host piece that is compatible with all samsung devices. I am thinking of buying one to test it out and would be happy to report back if it does work.
I bought the that Meditato posted. I can confirm that it works. Only prob I ran into tho is when removing the power and plugging it back in, the keyboard connected/disconnected flashes back and fourth. The keyboard does work while its doing that...
