I got the New Samsung USB connection Kit today, I have the Galaxy Tab 7 from T-Mobile, and YES I do know that it will not work with the Froyo installed, but I got a great deal on it for $15.00 free shipping, so when the talented XDA people find a way, of which I am confident someone will!. I took some pictures so everyone could see the packaging if you have not already.
Yes I did try it just for fun and of course nothing happened.
Where did u buy it??

Sorry for the silly question, but what does it do?

Samsung connector to standard usb.... - to connect usb devices to the gtab...
Again, apologies but is this different from the included cable that comes with galaxy tab? I understand the included cable also acts as a usb data cable for the tab.

Flash 2.3 and tell us how it goes.
Will this allow us to connect portable hardrives?

That's the point, right... We should be able to connect usb mice and keyboards... Keep us updated. And, where did you get it from?

backtrack 5 distro+ usb wifi adapter in promiscuous mode= portable hacking? I do believe this little device may have just solidified making backtrack on tab working. since now we can connect a usb device into the virtual machine and use those drivers, are we free to play with the fun tools?
@egofreak great idea ...

I wonder if it has a driver for USB DAC (external sound card) like the ipad, I want to connect my usb DAC to the tab.
+1 where did you pick it up from?
There are so many possibilities this opens up.
sorry!! thats working???
Also interested in this, if we can get a source / purchase point...
Galaxy-Shadow >
you gave us only the first half of the information about the dongle ...the point is: does it work or not???
Hoping to get a response from the poster.
A lot of question had already been posted....it would be great if it really could work.
I do not want to disappoint you all, but my guess is that he orderd this http://www.123cellularsupply.com/products/Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-10.1"-USB-Adapter.html
it is adapter for Galaxy Tab 10.1 ad probably won't work with Galaxy tab
the same as the another great accessory http://samsung.mobilefulfilment.com.au/Products/ViewProduct.aspx?ProductVariantId=EPL-3PHPBEGSTD
Hello to the Community. I first want to say thank to all you great people. This is the BEST forum going and you've been a huge help to many times.
OK so I'm a new owner of a 16g Nexus 7.
The main goal of this thread is I'm trying to find a gaming controller, the cable to allow the controller to function, and then a cable that will allow me to play games or watch movies on my big screen. I have some knowledge of what I'm looking for but not enough. I didn't want to make the mistake of buying the wrong thing, especially on line.
The other day I go and buy a micro HDmi to HDMI and realized after that is no go on either the N7 or gnex. So I'm here: I'm confident I can get good Info on all three of these items that work well and for cheap.
I have searched around here, other forums and on line but I haven't find anything definitive enough on what I would all need and works most current.
Need to buy on line asap:
The gaming controller: I don't care if its wired or wireless. Whatever you experts recommend is fine with me.
HDMI capable cable to TV.
If I have made any mistakes in posting or didn't include enough info please let me know.
Thank you all ahead of time for taking the time.

I am no expert either....just picked up my N7 today as well.
but i am pretty sure you need an MHL adapter...which is micro SD to Full HDMI female plug. then an HDMI cable from MHL to the TV.
as for the controller, i would probably stick with Bluetooth. you can use a PS3 BT controller (make sure it is official sony sixaxxis as some nockoffs use a wireless transmitter which isn't as easy and may not even work on the N&)
the PS3 controller i believe requires Root and an app which costs Money.
or there are other ones that gamestop sells called the Nyco playpad or something like that designed specifically for android gaming.
the Nyco requires a free app in the play store.
hook everything up, and you should be gaming in no time.
i personally can't wait to play some Old school NES games on my bigscreen.
There"s no mhl on the nexus 7.

Hey there and welcome,
I have done a couple of the things you're aiming to achieve.
For the controller, I have purchased a cheap micro USB OTG host (Right angled) from eBay for about £1.
This enabled me to use wired controllers, mount USB sticks for films etc.
I purchased an unofficial Xbox controller from Argos for around £17, it didn't work 100% from plug in, I had to modify the key layout file which took 2 mins, now it's perfect.
With regards to the HDMI, I don't think the N7 supports MHL, android 4.2 however will support wireless screen sharing via a dongle you plug into the TV. I forgot what its called.
Anyway, hope that helps, enjoy the nexus 7!
Edit: software is called miracast, looks promising. And if this method is preferred I guess a wireless controller is preferred too!

Yo thank you for the reply buddy
Sucks no Hdmi but o well gaming with a controller(wired or not) will work for now. What i wanted was to specifically find some ppl who had experience with a setup that confirmed working as recent as poss.
Price wise 1 for the cable and 17 for the controller works for me.
Do you mind linking me to the 2 products?
I wanna order something on line like now. Lol

Hey dude thanks for the reply
OK so see this is why i can get confused. The one reply below yours says n7 has no mhl support which I did hear multiple times other places online. But your saying it IS POSSIBLE with the MHL adapter( and I've seen it done on YouTube somehow). If it is me.that is misunderstanding what is being said, please 4give me,
--all I want is to game with a controller on my N7, if its possible to do it on a big screen...GREAT, if not no biggie at all. I just want to understand it however it is.
Make the purchases asap so they can get here asap. Lol
This can be really frustrating lol

Like i said, i am new to this device as well. i though for sure i saw that MHL worked and since it works with the Gnex, i figured it was OK to put that in my post.....I was wrong. looks like it doesn't work will have to wait for miracast and 4.2 for the bigscreen

I basically just ordered a cheap, non-branded game controller (about $5), got a USB OTG cable with the same specifics (cheap, non-branded), and found a custom keylayout that works for cheap, non-branded controllers. Combined all those together, and I now have a nice controller that can play games like DEAD TRIGGER

Yeah no problem, as long as the gameplay has the same layout as an Xbox controller, I know how to make it work. Other types will be a bit different buy I'm sure other people have got them working by editting the keylayout file, just send me a pm and I'll help with what I can.
With regards to the Argos site, you may want to find it locally for cheaper.

Hey guys.
OK I got this http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=280894965492 for $7
I haven't had much time but with the testing I've done with the time I did have here is what I know:
dead trigger- I see that this game has a built in option to use a game pad and map the buttons. It seemed pretty simple to do. The one small issue I couldn't figure out was how to map the control to lower w/e weapon I'm using. With the normal touchscreen your able to move that up/down. With the controller it stays about right at a level where w/e weapon I'm using shoots the zombies at head level( which is great when shooting) but sometimes its nice to be able to move that, especially when you are moving. If anyone knows how to do this or anything else Im missing i would appreciate the help very much.
NFS Most Wanted- could not figure out how to get the controller to work. Any info would be great.
Asphalt Heat-I haven't tried yet but I'm pretty sure there is a built in option to use a gamepad as well. Correct?
MC3-Iv seen and heard this game is capable of using USB controller but I don't know how to get it work. Any info on this?
NBA Jam-tried straight plug and play with this game and had no success?
Beach Buggy Blitz- built in option for gamepads worked. Pretty simple.
Any other games that anyone has experience with plug and play or simple modifications would be a great help to me.
Thank you.

Can someone please please help me. I got a USB controller that works. The game in question is modern Combat 3 on the nexus 7. This is driving me fricken crazy. I been at this for hours and I'm about ready to go nuts. I'm at the point where I'm trying to map the buttons on the touch screen. I figured out how to maps most of the buttons EXCEPT FOR HOW TO MOVE/RUN AND AND AIM. I'm trying to map the left analog stick to move/run and the right analog stick to aim/movie the gun around. I'm kind of able to but the direction I'm moving are all fed up and I can't get it right.
I'll be able map the right analog stick to move the gun around but up moves left down moves right left moves up and right moves down. You understand what I mean? It WILL NOT let me to get right how its suppose to be.
If someone can somehow someway help it would be a huge help. I've literally been at it for 2 day on and off and I can't figure it out. Its so darn frustrating.

Hello all I am newb, I just came over from IOS in the last 30 days. I have a few questions to the new system. First I want the new update where you can save apps to memory card(I saw it on you tube) The guy was also saying that there is way to do it with out rooting. The reason I can not root is I got the protection plan at best buy and don't want to F that up.
Another question is,is there a way to play the my music threw my usb to my pioneer head unit. I keep getting the incompatible usb. I have a galaxy s4 threw at&t. Thanks all.
No one can help me?

Firstly, you can't flash official UK firmware on your phone. Uk is i9505 and you have i337.
Secondly, don't worry about app to SD. It only moves APK files so is pointless, the large data files stay on internal storage.
Thirdly, even if you root you can always go back to stock for warranty purposes. (I've done it many times)
And last but not least, and probably the most important....USE SEARCH BUTTON OR GOOGLE!
Have a nice day
Thanks. I new someone would throw in the Google comment. Thanks again I am so new to android that I had no clue. This sucks that I can't throw spots on sd card due to the device only having 9 gigs of free space left. Does any one have a solution for sound via the usb on my pioneer had unit. I know I can use blue tooth but it sounded so much better when I hard wired my iphone to the unit.

Anyone get the HDMI out to work on the Galaxy S4? I have my Samsung branded MHL to HDMI cable, and I am unable to get HDMI output working... any ideas?
I just tired it a second ago, im having the same issue, at least you know your not alone <3
I was only able to get it to work on my Infuse4G... but have traded it in for my S4, they said it would work... may that is my out to get another one? Maybe one with MDL? can someone confirm if it works or not on MDL?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
Yes it works perfectly on both MDL & again on custom version of MF3. I'm using the new Samsung MHL 2.0 cable, which works without needing to be plugged into a power source. There are quite a few comments about people getting fakes out there. The most common way to test for the 2.0 version is if it works without having to use a power source and your TV running at 1080p 60hz.
MHL to MHL 2.0 adapter
I bought this on ebay [HDMI MHL Adapter Tip for Samsung Galaxy Notes 2 S4 S3 (Micro USB 5 to 11 Pin)]. Using it, I can use the MHL adapter that I used with my S2 with no problems. It needs USB power, but it works fine.
For those that are having problems and are on aosp roms, these adaptors only work on stock and Stock-based roms
Yeah, mine is a stock adapter (reqs power, originally came with my Samsung Infuse4G) and I am on a stock rom but no joy. I will order a new v2 model and see if it works then...
Thanks guys.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
I also have the Infuse4G adapter. If anyone know of a way to make that work, it would be great.
I read that the S4 should be backwards compatible with standard adapters that use the addtl power source. I'm not sure if the Infuse4G one would qualify as "standard".
Thanks!

Bose support was useless for me with this issue. They told me there was no way to use an IOS Bose headset.
I searched on eBay & found a seller which sold an Android cable which worked. Just unplugged the old cable & plugged in the Android cable.
Good luck - be patient - search hard & ask the seller for confirmation.

Hmmmm - I'm a bit confused now looking up info on QuietComfort 25. Specs say the cable is compatible with both Android & IPhone.
My experience has been with needing a different cable for the Bose SoundTrue to work with Samsung Android.
I'll try to check my QuietComfort 25 & see if I have in-line remote mic with it. If I do, I'll try it in my S7e
