Is there a way to use the controller with other Android devices? - Shield Android TV Accessories

Hello,
Firstly I haven't tried it yet but I want to use a controller with my Note 5. Can I use the one that came bundled with the Shield? Does it use bluetooth?
If not, can someone reccomend me a good one to use with N5?
Thanks!

I will answer myself, there is no way to use it. Shame.

Doesn't the Shield use WiFi Direct to connect to the controller?

I can confirm the shield controller works very well when wired to an android device that supports otg.
The track pad is a bit sporadic though.
Volume controls and start button work which surprised me.
For what it's worth I tested it on a samsung galaxy note 12.2 with a USB 3.0 otg hub.
I had also already updated my shield TV to 3.0 (android 6.0) and run the peripheral update so I can't confirm if it worked on versions prior.
I know you were likely looking for wireless but it's something for sure.

[Q] SM-T210 Tab 3 7" MHL to HDMI(TV-Out) Capabilities

Hi Guys
I got this SM T210 (wifi only) tab and I'm wondering if this really has a TV-out feature via MHL to HDMI.
It really is not clear for me because some sites says it has but other says it doesn't.
I was wondering if anyone here has the same tab as mine and has gotten this feature working for them.
If it work for you can you please also indicate what model of the cable you are using.
Thanks
The official specs on samsung's site make no mention of HDMI.

Yep, that is why it is really confusing. If you look here at the MHL to HDMI cable here
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/ET-H10FAUWEGUJ-compatible
it clearly says that it is compatible with Galaxy tab 3 7" (Gold brown color w same specs as the white).
and also here on this link
http://www.abt.com/product/71046/Samsung-ETH10FAUWEGUJ.html
if you look at the docs of that cable. it states that this is for all 2013 Galaxy tab 3 devices including the 7" version.
Hopefully somebody has gotten this to work because I really need this feature on my tab.

About MHL (TV Out) capabilities:
http://www.samsungmobilepress.com/2013/06/03/Samsung-Introduces-New-GALAXY-Tab-3-Series-1
suggest you buy a MHL to HDMI adapter to test it. If it works, that will be great. if not, you can return the MHL to HDMI to the vendor.

Hi, I am sorry to tell you the bad news. I asked Samsung online service about your question that whether the micro USB port of tab 3 7.0 supports MHL function via live chat of Samsung.com. They told me that only tab 3 8.0 and tab 3 10.1 features a micro USB port with MHL/HDMI functionality like Samsung Galaxy S4,S3 and Note 2.

Aw... Now I don't know what to do with this tab anymore. I really need the MHL tv out capabilities so when I travel I can make this as my Portable TV box.
Anyways. Thanks for all the help. I guess I'll just sell this and buy another tab.
what if you root it or something? would that work?
you can get this to kinda work by putting a kit Kat rom on it. all kit kat roms have miracast. it's not exactly mhl (wireless instead of wired) but it serves the same function

[Q] tab 3 dsr controller issue

Hi,
I have downloaded DSLR Controller for my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 4.1.2 Kernel. I have hooked it up using OTG USB cable to my Canon 600D/T3i camera. Both are compatible according to the website. So why the heck aint it working?
The cables arent cheap ones and the mini USB is the one that came with the camera. When I click the app on my Tab 3 it just says Android device not compatible with Android USB host API.
Im not tech savvy so dont know what this means. It also says a firmware update may fix the issue but I appear to be fully updated.
any ideas?

Tab 3 with mouse,keyboard and ethernet via USB OTG.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 that I want to use ethernet, mouse and keyboard with to do remote desktop work. Is there anyway I can do this? I see that there's a Samsung USB LAN hub for the Note Pro/Tab Pro line of tablets but I'm wondering if this will work with the Tab 3.
If not i'm wondering if a hub can be connected to the tablet that would then allow the connecting of the usb mouse, keyboard and a usb ethernet adapter. These are the two products I'm currently looking at but im not sure if they are compatible.

I can't post links as yet. They can be easily found with a query in Amazon.

I am sure keyboard and mouse will work on otg cable as long as they got enough power (I have tried it) and for WLAN or Ethernet cables you will need to modded kernel to do it.
More info here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2705323 (its for p5210 though)

thanks Jack. Im using my older account that I just got access to. It allows me to post link so yeah Im the same as joeldean.I havent gotten a response from that person as yet. I was wondering if you know anyone willing to help me modify a Tab 3 kernel to add ASIX drivers. Based on my research the ASIX ethernet based adapters seem to be most compatible. I would even be willing to pay to get this done.

USB Type C DAC dongle

So I recently got an DAC dongle (Hidizs Sonata HD 2) and I can't seem to connect it on my realme X2.
I turned on OTG Connection in additional settings. Even tried doing usb debugging etc. But did not work. It sometimes recognized thou.
PS I already did patch the firmware on my hidizs and I also tried using it on samsung galaxy note 9 (it works flawlessly)

I have the chine version of X2 (1991) and I was planning to buy that dac.
Did you find any solution?
What model of X2 do you have?
Thanks

I have the global version.
I'm not sure if it's a software problem or hardware problem. Sometimes my phone can recognized it but it can be easily disconnected if you move the dac.

Accessories OnePlus 9 Pro Splitter (Audio and Charging adapter)

Hello,
I have been looking for a splitter adapter for my OP 9 Pro. So far out of 3 different adapters i have bought, none of them worked. Even when i turned OTA Storage ON. Does anybody know any that works with OP 9 Pro so i can charge and use headphones at once please?
I'll need to test the one I used on my 7 Pro. I bought a streaming adapter for my BMW that uses the MOST bus so I tossed the splitters on a drawer.
