Hi All,
I don't yet own an XDA but am looking to buy an XDAII in the next couple of days. I have a question, for which I have tried searching for the answer but to no avail which is. Is it possible, using an XDAII to connect to a LAN via a machine with a USB BlueTooth adapter and browse other LAN connected machines. In a similar way to clicking on Network Neighbourhood from an normal LAN attached PC viewing other PC's shares ?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob.
Hiya,
I'm also interested in finding this out, is there anyone who knows the solution?
Regards,
Chris
I don't know about performing it over Bluetooth, but it is certainly possible to do it with Wi-Fi using a program called Pocket LAN. In fact, I connected from the car park to my local B & Q store and was able to see all their PCs and printers connected to their network using that method. I was tempted to try and send something to one of their printers, but thought better of it. As to bluetooth, I guess it should be possible providing the machine your trying to connect to is routing IP requests onto its LAN.
Tell us where that B&Q was
I couldn't find Pocket Lan through Google?
Do you know where I could get it? I'll happilyb trade you a beta fo Pocket WiNc for it? :wink:
Found this link ....

Can I play 2 player Gensoid/Snesoid games over Epic's 3G internet connection?If so how?
I know that there is Netplay options to play over wifi and bluetooth,is it possible to play over 3g internet connection by entering my ip in wifi netplay settings?
I know alot about android and computers but I know almost next to nothing about internet settings.If anyone could help me with the setup if its possible I would be greatfull.
Oh one more question:I know that wifi controller can be used for android emulators,is there any mods to use PS3 controller for android?Im asking because they both use bluetooth for connection.
I doubt that internet play is possible because one of the best emulators I know of (vba) for the pc couldn't pull it off
I would be pretty interested in the ps3 controller thing though

im pretty sure its possible because pc genesis/snes and other emulators support it,android emulators probably do too but I dont know how to set them up.
Is it possible to use a WII lan adapter for wired network with the A500?
I cant say for sure without trying it, but I wouldn't expect it to without going to a fair bit of effort... I'd think by far the easiest option would be to pick up a cheap wifi router..
That being said, I can see where there would be advantages to using something like that wii adaptor (ie at work if your office only has a wired lan.. cant see too many system administrators being happy about you installing a new router in the office..)
*shrugs*
I just got wired network partly working using a Netgear FA101 USB ethernet adapter. It's not 100% as lots of apps (such as the market or network scanning software) check wifi state before running rather than for any other network interfaces.
To get it working I am using Thor A500/A501 Kernel v3.9r3 for HC 3.2 and i have to run "dhcpcd eth0" after plugging it in.
I'm guessing you'll have to use a rooted device and custom kernel like this. You also won't be able to do everything... web browsing works (though complains on load) as does Trillian and a few other things. Maps also work, though it complains as well to turn on wifi. The market does not work, it looks like you can browse it but downloads won't start until wifi is up again.
Anyone use their phones with tethering to power these new consoles?
Will mainly use it for streaming purposes i.e. netflix and what not. I know some devices have issues connecting to the way tethering is set up on phones, so was just curious if any of you guys do it and if it works at all.

I do this indirectly with my xbox 360. I tether my HTPC to the Note through a wireless dongle and then the PC shares it's connection through to the xbox via an Ethernet cable. The two connections are bridged so all the xbox sees is a wired connection with internet access. I can stream Netflix, xbox movies etc fine using this method.
Yea I do this on my 360 also because it doesn't have the built in wifi. However, knowing the one has built in; I hope i can just wirelessly tether.
Anyone else have this setup? Or the ps4 even. Whether there's any issues.
Alright I finally found a way to use the dualshock 4 controller with my shield tablet k1 running Android 6.0.
The problem I faced was that when I wanted to pair the controller and tablet it became stuck on the "pairing with..." part.
And since the sixaxis controller app doesn't work on marshmallow I started trying somethings and searched for a solution online.
So maybe there are people that are facing this issue aswell This is how I got it working.
1. First download and install the Sixaxis Pair Tool from the dev's website :
Sixaxis Pair Tool
2. Connect the DS4 controller with a USB cable to the pc and start the Sixaxis Pair Tool you just installed.
3. In the box "Change Master" you want to type the Bluetooth MAC address of your tablet, you can look this up when you go to Settings > About tablet > Status > Bluetooth address
* if you don't see a mac address make sure Bluetooth is turned on.
4. After you filled in the Tablets MAC in the "Change Master" box you hit apply and double check if the new "Current Master" MAC address is the same as the MAC address from the tablet.
Now that the DS4 knows for what MAC address to look for you want to install the following application on the tablet aswell.
* Look for the following app : Bluetooth Auto Connect
The reason we need this app is that for some reason the controllers input starts to lagg after about 30sec after pairing it with the tablet, the only solution I found was using this application.
5. So now that we have the bluetooth application installed aswell we can open the app.
*If the app asks you to turn on Bluetooth just hit OK.
6. Now scroll down to the bottom and tap on "Advanced Options" in here you want to change the following settings:
Rety Count = 1
Rety After(Sec) = 1
Device Timeout(Sec) = 5
Continuous Connect = 2
7. When you changed these settings you can turn on the DS4 controller by pressing on the PS button.
8. Now press on the "Connect Now" button at the bottom of the Advanced Options page.
After 2-3 seconds you will be asked if it is oke to pair the controller with the tablet, select yes and tadaaaaa you have a working DS4 controller on the Nvidia Shield Tablet
So for everything works for me, even the button mapper that can be accessed by holding the Options button on the DS4.
I hope this helps a couple of people !
*If you want to use the DS4 with the PS4 again you need to plug it in the PS4 with the usb cable to pair it again.
Going to try this right now!
EDIT: It works great, able to play donkey kong 64 again hah.
Question
When doing this, if I have a MacBook as my pc but a shield tab, when going to dl the sixaxis pair tool from the dev website do I dl the one for Mac OS X or the one for Windows? Also if you go to the page there's two links for the Windows now which of those two did you use?
Hi great guide
I don't suppose you know if this would work with the Xbox one controller or maybe the Xbox 360 controller ?

Hi !
If you use a MacBook that means you need to download the Mac OS X version they provide, I don't have a Mac so I have no idea how that works. I did a quick google and found this orikad.com/sixpair_instructions.html I suggest you follow that and it should work.
Let me know when you have it working !

I'm afraid this won't work for the xbox controllers since they don't use bluetooth, however you can get a 360 controller working if you connect a usb adapter for windows with a usb otg cable.
There is at the moment no way to use a Xbox One controller with any device other can Windows 7,8(.1) and 10 since the wireless adapter only supports these versions of windows.
Great guide Dusty!! I am expecting my nvidia k1 next week and i try to collect info about anything!
One question i have...if you have root, the way to pair the tablet and the ds4 is easier??

If you root the tablet you can use this app play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller and connect the DS4 to your tablet with a usb otg cable so you can pair it on your tablet, this is done with 1 press so you don't have to look up the MAC adress etc. However, the app is having problems with newer versions of android 5.1.1+ so I decided to skip the rooting for now and go with this method
Awesome. Thank you.
Thank you so much! Love you for this

When you say I USB adapter are you on about the wireless adapter ?
I do have a old wired Xbox 360 controller would that just work through the otg cable
Cheers

Yup ! A wired 360 controllers should work without any hassle with a otg cable
To add some information to the thread, I was able to make this work using these steps on an original Shield tablet running Lollipop. Thanks for the tip!

So it's stuck at pairing after you followed my guide ?
If so verify that the master MAC address is the same as your bluetooths MAC.
