Hi people
So I bought the tegra note 7 recently, before discovering that a 4G LTE version was on the way. So I wanted to know if there was any way to make voice calls with this tablet using an external USB dongle and my sim. My USB OTG cable is in transit as of now so I'm not sure even if the tablet supports external dongles.
Any and all help is appreciated.
P.S. this is my first thread post here. (and I'm not very smart with such stuff)
Plz help.

The Note certainly has a microphone because there is a built in voice recorder. You can't see the voice recorder in the app tray, but it's on the tablet (I stumbled upon it after I installed Nova Launcher then was looking at what shortcuts/actions I could assign to the dock).
As for using a USB dongle with OTG, I haven't tried it because I have a MiFi. Perhaps someone else can chip in...
C'mon guys...help a newbie
M prepared to compromise now... ..i think 'tablet talk' will suit me and sync and transfer all my calls and texts from me cell to tab over wifi direct or bluetooth but if some one could suggest a free alternative for it?
i need something to transfer all my calls and texts to my tab and vice versa...possibly over bluetooth.

Hi to all
I had recieved the dock and a good HDMI cable.
I tested in a Toshiba 37WL66Z, perfect video, but no sound, ( In the same tv I have connected my laptop and I have sound ), then I thought that it was the dock or the cable, so I tried this in a second tv I have Toshiba 32AV500P, two years newer that the first, sound ok in both HDMI inputs.( so cable and dock are OK ).
What is going on?, I had searched the net alot, but I have not found a solution, I have read that there are people having the same problem with me, concerning the dock.
Can I do something? is there are different protocolls, that the devices communicate each other in HDMI connections?
Can I made an upgrade or something else?
Thanks in advance
I think the compatibility is not a 100%. I had some troubles when I hooked my Tab. It's unbelievable that there is little to no information about the dock to find while searching on Google! (Troubleshooting)
Yes you are right no info, I had searched everywhere, the tab is a new model, perhaps in the future?, very stange though.
Perhaps the compability problem will be solved with a firmare upgrade?
I cannot found a link to ask Samsung Korea directly to check this matter, because a lot af us have the same issue.
If anyone knows a link to them?
I connected my dock, the tab makes a connected sound, but the tv doesn't recognize the dock, so no sound or video.

Ah. that's exactly the problem I had. This is the routine that usually resolves it.
1. Reboot Tab for a fresh start
2. Hook up the dock to power. (Apparently this is required)
3. Dock the tab.
4. Make sure it shows as "charging".
5. Plugin the HDMI cable. (make sure you don't move the dock too much! the connection is crappy and very easily loosened)
Thank you friend. I suspected I would need the power cable. I got one off ebay yesterday.
You have to add #6 to the steps: hold tongue out to the left side at a 30 degree angle. ;^)
Just a question which I hope someone can answer for me.
Is it possible to use a 3G USB Dongle on the Nexus 7 Wifi only to have a working Internet connection when there is no possibility to use Wifi? I have a Vodafone USB 3G Dongle which works perfectly on my Iconia W700 tablet, but I would love to have it on the Nexus 7 as well. Has someone made this possible?
Check this thread, seems to be an updated list of working modems.

Yes, try it using PPP Widget, available for free in Play Store, and a USB OTG adapter (I use the smallest one, the type without cable).

Hi all, I've searched hard for this...
I just bought a D-Link Wireless N 150 USB adapter because I though it might help getting wifi reception on my Nexus 7 in my bedroom where it is currently poor.
I have a OTG adapter so I figured I could plug it in with that and off I go!
...The problem is installing the software.
The USB stick comes with a mini cd-rom with the software on it which makes it tricky to get it on to the Nexus.
So. I suppose my question is threefold:
1) Firstly, can this USB wireless thing work on my Nexus?
2) How can I make it work?
Wait, that's just two.
Help will be much appreciated and I will rampant with my thanks.

Why should you use a external Wifi-USB-thing? I think the Nexus has Wifi, thats enough. Its like putting two keyboards on one pc...
What you need is a Wifi-Repeater.
And that little guy is available on Amazon.
So much fun with your Nexus.

Hey hey! Thanks, yeah I just thought that it could be used to also boost the wifi signal, it just cuts out in my room. But I have also ordered a repeater
Hi,
Im hoping someone may be able to help. I've had an s3, s4, s4 lte and now the dual sim s4. Its a great phone however I cant seem to get the hdmi out working, this is important for me as I run an app radio in my car, so use my s4 for everything from music to sat nav etc.
With my mhl adaptor from my s3, from my S4 and a new s4 mhl 2 adaptor. Each does the same thing. If the connector is only pushed in partially (presumably so the first row of contacts meet) then it charges only. If its pushed in further then it does nothing, no charge and no hdmi.
Has anybody got the hdmi working on a dual sim s4?
Cheers Gav
Hello,
Unfortunately I have the same problem with my s4 i9502, no HDMI out on the Smartdock EDD-S20.
Maybye I will try with a stock ROM (Android 4.3 ?).
If anybody has ever succed to activate the MHL video on this phone, please advice !
I will also try with the samsung wireless HDMI receiver, hope it will work.
Regards
Hello,
What I have understood from the Chinese forums (Google translation...) is that it is a software / firmware limitation
The workaround that I have found (works on my i9502) is to use the samsung allshare cast dongle (HDMI wireless transceiver).
But it works only thanks to the modification of a lib (see this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45605884, personnaly I used root browser app to do it).
It seems that flashing a stock Rom for a i9500 is possible (even if you lose the dual-sim function..) so this could enable the MHL function.
I do hope that one day someone will find the trick to make HDMI out works one the i9502.
Regards
Had Iphone 6 USB on my 2011 Buick Regal USB Audio worked flawless, my wife's phone LG G4 works great.
Got tired of apple & decided to go with Samsung Note 4 now I cant get it to work, tried multiple cables, update to Lollipop 5.0 & 5.1 & none of these worked.
Called Buick they said I should use AUX cable instead, obviously I did not like that response.
DoI need to root? or is this a lost cause.

I would post a link to a website with pictures and information about what you are talking about as I have no idea what that is.
Once I understand what exactly it is I might be able help.
Just guessing but are you talking about some kind of headphone cable that uses USB to connect instead of jack?

edmunds (dot) com/buick/regal/2011/long-term-road-test/2011-buick-regal-cxl-turbo-pop-out-usb-port.html
Link attached is the USB port in car, you plug in any IOS device or LG apparently & it picks up the audio being played.
The Bluetooth feature doesn't support audio, was relying on the USB port to play music in car over Google Play.
Before getting android I tried a Samsung S4 Active & it would appear it registered it but would immediately disconnect on both sides.
I figured it was hardware side as my wifes LG G4 worked perfect decided to switch my iPhone for a Note 4 & when I plug it in the USB nothing happens.

OK link is useless as I cannot click it.
Have you checked if the company you got the USB from makes any kind of app or driver to use on some android phones?
I can assure you Bluetooth audio works very well as I use it often with my Bluetooth speakers. I also used it to stream music to my Sony car stereo via Bluetooth.
I have never used the USB to stream music but I know that there is an app that does some thing to make phone simulate a USB stick so if you where to connect the phone via USB to a stereo deck it would play the music on the deck from the phone.
Sadly I cannot remember what it was called.

copy link & replace (Dot) with a . , 2011 Buick does not support Bluetooth audio.
I've heard of this app but it required root, I'd be willing to root the phone but the amount of Firmware & versions seems like asking for trouble.

Well I can't copy as I use tapatalk.
www.google.com
Easy to make a clickeble link.
OK so that buick thing is not the USB cable so I assume it's some kind of speaker system.
Regarding the root. Custom roms are much better then bloated stock roms in my opinion so it's well worth it and specially now that Note 5 ports are out.
Plus even if you wish to keep stock rom just rooting it will give you full ownership over your phone but nonrooted users can't really say the own there phones as both Samsung and phone company have more control over your phone then you ?
Anyways I strongly suggest you at least root the phone. No need to change firmware if you don't want to but the rooting process alone will give you unlimited freedom with the phone beyond the possibility of icrap can offer with jailbreak.

Do you stream through USB or using MTP & treat your Phone as a USB Storage?
EDIT:
I found this thread & I hope it will help you.
USB Flash Drive use in Audio System
There's a possibility that your Note 4 microSD card was formatted using exFAT & the "old" Buick USB system can't recognize it.
Try to use FAT32 (with its inferiority towards exFAT).
Another solution is using AUX (Draining Note 4 battery)
Last resort is using USB flash drive
NOTE:
Some system can only recognize limited size of USB storage.
Some are limited only to 4 GB, some can only read 32GB & won't read anything with larger capacity.

Sorry for asking this, but do you know what streaming means? (no offense )
If you are streaming the music, it means you are playing the music from your Mobile Phone & direct the sound out of it through either USB, Bluetooth or AUX.
So Streaming will drain your Phone battery.
Usually, car USB system doesn't do this.
Car USB system usually access any device connected through USB as a USB Mass Storage Device & then play the content using its own built in Audio System.
Have you checked the link I gave you?

My car USB does have this feature can play audio of a youtube vid, google play radio, pandora, ect over USB on selected devices it seems.
As stated above it works fine with an LG & IOS phones but has yet to work on Samsung.
Thought there could be a quick fix out there, but that doesnt seem to be the case.
More likely going to swap my phone out for an LG if I can find someone willing.
Worst case scenario I have a iphone 4 which I will use via hotspot in the car.

Do you mean that you play your media on your Car System?
If you do, then check your microSD.
May be your LG use FAT32 for its microSD & Note 4 use exFAT for its microSD.
Some 2011 car systems can't recognize exFAT filesystem.

Thanks for suggestion but it did not work, for the meantime using an Iphone 4 via hotspot for my normal commute I just use FM radio.
Was thinking maybe I can have hotspot automatically turn on when I'm in my car but that might be too much to ask for with current technology.
You win some, you lose some this one I lost no one interested in changing Note 4 for LG G4 in my area.
