Micro USB to Ethernet Port Adapter for Galaxy note 2

Hi folks ;)

usb to ethernet seems to work on Android for some, I guess hardware and operating system (embedded drivers?) have to match this device

For my Asus Transformer I can use their ethernet adapter by simply plug it in.

On my Samsung Note 2 JB 4.1 nothing happens...

Would rooting help?

Anyone managed to have it work?

I know that wifi is a much easier method but it's good to know it doesn't work on this device :D :laugh:

Sorry for my bad english, I'll try to improve :)

these items works on the Transformer with JB 4.1

Oops, no external links for noobs :D

thanks ;)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aleksey001:
I don't understand people, who think: if i don't need it, nobody need it.

I bought note to use it on work. Ideally it should be used instead of a laptop.

The problem is that I am not allowed, for safety reasons, to use wireless link.

And actually it interesting to make it work.

But thanks for the tip, in other way it can be useful.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aleksey001:
As discussed above it did not work with N2.

I think Renthal (message #8) and el56 (message #9) are right.

We need kernel for Note2 (N7100) that supports this feature.

But still nobody has found the ROM or Kernel for GT-N7100, which correctly work with USB Ethernet adapter.

Only root will not help.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] el56:
I have a second device, a Nexus 7, which (unlike my N2) is rooted. The stock kernel in the Nexus 7 does not support Ethernet-over-USB, and many third-party kernels also do not. However, I did find one kernel -- "Bricked" -- that did. Since installing that kernel, that device now works very well over wired using a $2 OTG cable and a $4 USB Ethernet adaptor (both bought on eBay)

(That setup actually worked in a real-world situation - a hotel in Beijing, that has only wired Internet - in which a Wifi Ethernet router didn't work because of post-connection login requirements.)

This experiences confirms the contention that the drivers for Ethernet-over USB are *available* for Android kernels, but that stock kernels (and most auxilliary ones) have chosen not to implement them. The answer for Note 2 users is to convince Samsung (or, more likely, custom kernel builders) to enable Ethernet drivers that already exist.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vatharian:
I remember seeing patches for Honeycomb stock kernels for numerous devices that add alot of drivers. It maybe feasible to compile the kernel modules and insmod them, if we have kernel sources. Do we have them? Hellllllooooo?!

And I'd like to have this functionality. To all people wondering why one would need to use such *cough* ancient *cough* technology as wires:

At my workplace there is no 3G coverage (hell, it struggles to connect to EDGE, falling back to GPRS, voice calls also suck), and we're not allowed to use any kind of WiFi or Bluetooth or any other radio, including wireless mouse/keyboards (corporate industrial network sucks all the channels, anyway), but we're supplied with wired, unfiltered network going straight to internet, just for sake of having internet on our devices (my work consists of cycles 1-2 hours of intense coding, and 1-2 hours of empty waiting for tests), so we won't get bored to death. So.... I want my ethernet dongle working! http://freeware.info.pl/software.html
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diim:
Yeah, I really need that feature too.

I have 2 young daugthers and my wife doesn't want to hear about wifi or 3G at home, cause of health concerns.

And in addition, I work in a company where wireless connections are not allowed for security reasons.

So Ethernet connection through USB adaptateur is almost the only option for me.

But isn't it possible to install drivers on an androids smartphone, as we usually do on PC ?

(Sorry for the newb question)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gub:
Of course it's easy to work around the problem, routers like the TP-Link TL-MR3020 are small, relatively cheap and easy to hack.

But this is XDA-developers and I think the whole point of this community is to make things work, even if there are workarounds that are easier.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] betelgeuse.aldebaran:
So no solution? My smartdock is connected to my tv, logitech k400, 2 external harddisk (using powered usb), eyetv micro, loudspeaker,... I have tried to use the apple usb ethernet adapter, but nothing happens. I just wish to replace my desktop with my note... :)

Because I work in IT and have to activate/test Ethernet jacks, it would be sooooo easy to test if a jack is already live via my smartphone. Without this awesome adapter, I am forced to carry around a heavy laptop or bum one off of somebody at the convention center. Simple common sense.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j3a01:
me too, i always test, config switch cisco in my company, if usb to lan can use on note 2 then it's very very useful less with me.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaox:
is it possible

Hey all, long time lurker, first time poster.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has figured this out, or if it is even possible. Could one maybe take the code from the kernel of a device with ethernet connection support, and add it to an existing Note 2 kernel? I'm sure that wouldn't be as easy as copy and pasting the code, but if it is technically possible I would be more than happy to do it and share it with the community. I have some basic linux, android, and programming experience, and it at least seems plausible. It would be great to have this functionality.

I hope this topic still gets attention, it has been brought up many times on different forums across the web but no one seems to have figured it out yet.

-Khaox
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ralphsims:
If someone has a rooted Note 2 (or 3) would you please put an Ethernet adapter on the USB port (probably need an OTG adapter) and run 'netcfg'? It will tell you if there's an Ethernet port recognized (probably would show up as eth0). If so, there are netcfg commands that can be run to put the device in DHCP mode (or even static IP addressing). If so, someone might be able to write a couple of shell scripts to assist in addressing.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeBoX:
Any word on this? Anyone testing anything?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scvjohnny:
Solution found

DeBoX, your post motivated me enough to take a half an hour to sit down and solve this SGN2 ethernet-thru-USB issue. I use my SGN2 as my desktop PC using Nova Launcher to set up my android desktop icons and Tasker to auto configure the phone to "desktop mode" when docked. I generally use Windows7 on my SGN2 using bVNC into a Proxmox VM and it all works very well.

These are the simple steps I took to achieve a full Ethernet connection to my SGN2 when docked:

1) Connect your Ethernet cable into a Ethernet USB adapter.

2) Connect the Ethernet USB adapter into one of the USB port in your dock.

3) Launch terminal and type netcfg.

4) See if eth0 shows up in the list and it will be DOWN. Thats normal and expected.

5) Create a script as follows:

#!/system/bin/sh

echo "Initializing eth0 LAN"

Sleep 10

ifconfig eth0 192.168.XXX.XXX netmask 255.255.XXX.XXX

route add default gw 192.168.XXX.XXX dev eth0

setprop net.dns1 192.168.XXX.XXX

echo "eth0 LAN to SGN2 compete"

6) Run the script.

7) Enjoy the speed of an Ethernet connection. :cool:

Option: I launch this script from Tasker when docked so it happens automatically.

I hope this helps you and everyone else who wants to realize the full capacity of a docked SGN2.

Thanks,

scvjohnny
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeBoX:
Hi

First off, love you mate!! Big love!

did as you said , but can't seem to find eth0 , dosen't pop up in the list

tried 2 otg cables ( though I think both are 5 pins, mater?) and 3 diff ethernet usb adapters ( 2 worked with my TF201)

Suggestions?

Do you need root?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parminder1532:
i also tried the terminal method but eth0 not shown.... any other way out for ethernet connection or we need to buy dock station as i don't need dock station all i just want to check line(ethernet wall socket) is alive or not!

thank you
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkanet:
There are times where I need to configure my Internet router/ethernet switch for the first time; which needs a wired connection. It would be nice to just plug my phone into the router via Ethernet without any hassle; at least for rooted stock ROMs.

Its too bad there isn't an app (for rooted stock ROMs) that add the necessary drivers and automatically configure TCPIP for it.

Note 3 revisited

I got an ethernet adapter to work on the Note 3. Remember to put the device in airplane mode so as not to conflict with already-assigned addresses. I'm having a problem getting DNS to work, but I can ping out via IP. You need to root the device (I used towelroot--easy and does not trip the knox counter).

netcfg eth0 up

netcfg eth0 dhcp

ip route add 0.0.0.0/0 via <your router's IP here>

setprop net.dns1 4.2.2.2 (doesn't work)

My Tab 2 7.0 won't see an adapter. I'll have to work on that one some more.

How can I accomplish the ethernet recognition...

Same DNS problem

Hello

I have exactly the same problem

I have installed ethernet droid to ON/OFF the eth0 connection.

It works, I get IP, mask, gateway and DNS (8.8.8.8).

I have forced the DNS to 192.168.1.1 (my internet box)

But the problem is same: I can't ping google but I can ping the google IP.

I can even ping 8.8.8.8

Very strange.

The only way to make it works is to turn on the wifi and then turn it off.

This action seems like the wifi provides the good DNS activation then after turned it OFF, ethernet cable works fine.

Have you found a solution for this ?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrkapqa:
could you please explain this once more - i am trying to replicate this on my Galaxy note 3. I just have a Micro-Usb-to Ethernet Adapter.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diim:
I had not been able to make it work on my GN2.

But for those who moved to Lollipop, it seems system properties (like those one we configure through setprop net.dns1 ...) had been depreciated as mentionned here.

It seems those commands are ignored and that dns properties must be set using ndc resolver setnetdns commands, like:

ndc resolver setnetdns eth0 "" 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4

[Nexus 7 General] Cleargrey:
Hey guys,

Just wanted to share an experience I had or am having. Just after midday yesterday, I was getting a bit annoyed with some of the lag in my Nexus 7, especially when compared to an N7 that I was using at the same time with only about 10 apps installed. Specifically, I noticed a difference when using the "lightweight" N7's Chrome which was noticeably faster than the Chrome in my "heavyweight" loaded up N7. So I went into the app data, and deleted the cache.

I had 204MB of cache. I know that often, if some things slow down in a specific app/application, deleting cache is sometimes an easy way for performance increases. But this one I wasn't expecting. These are the performance increases I've definitely noticed around the WHOLE OS:

- Coming from lock screen to launcher (I'm using Nova Launcher on both G.Nex and N7). It's now snappy without feeling like it's loading up.

- Multitasking launcher is quicker to respond. The apps in the list load much much quicker. Again, before it would load (populate the list) very close to 2 apps in just under a second (I would guess). And switching between apps is snappy again.

- Keyboard (I'm using Swiftkey) is generally quicker to appear. It was very slow in Chrome.

- App launcher, in and out, is now snappy again.

- Folders opening to show the apps in them is quicker.

- Google+ is quicker. Though I didn't use it between the latest update and deleting the cache.

- App launching is slightly faster overall.

My N7 now feels closer in speed to my G.Nex. I really have no idea why Chrome cache would make such a big difference. Before anyone asks, I haven't got the 4.1.2 update. Since the i/o of the memory controller sucks, I'm guessing Chrome was doing more than it needs to when I wasn't using it. My N7 is feeling very close to a lightweight N7. I am liking it. :)

Anyway, I hope at the very least it gives people some knowledge.
[Nexus 7 General] ynrozturk:
This will be an extremely noob question, but.. where do you delete the Chrome cache from? I just use ZD Box to clear all that stuff out for me. Seems to work okay I guess.
[Nexus 7 General] Linexus:
Settings > Apps > Chrome > Clear Cache.

Back to the topic:

Thanks for the info, I'll try it right away :)

Mine is lagging too but not very often.
[Nexus 7 General] nexusplexus:
i use a cache cleaner for the google store. works great.
[Nexus 7 General] skiman10:
Reboot

I would always make sure you reboot your nexus 7 every so often to make sure that it keeps the ram free and ready to go when you want to use it quickly. I tried the cache and I noticed an increase in speed and snappiness thanks.
[Nexus 7 General] ncguy68:
Excellent. The sluggish in notifications is now gone.
[Nexus 7 General] FallN:
Settings > Apps > All > Chrome > Clear Cache

Done. :)
[Nexus 7 General] Omar04:
Cache always do make a very huge difference you should clear it at least once a week. I always do that daily. And not just for chrome do it for all apps. A very useful tool to do it faster is 1Tap Cleaner. :beer::D

Same with any PC/Laptop or device.

You must be new to this kind of stuff or OSs cheers :D
