youngd24 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Before I drive myself nuts all night with cables and adapters, what cable will work from a Galaxy tab A to a Nano? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabrice Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Standard cable usb to micro usb. This one you received to charge it. You have to install android application. But some android device don't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngd24 Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 Standard micro usb male to usb female dongle adapter? The Samsung cable comes out to male as is the Nano. Duct tape and gorilla glue didn't work.;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youngd24 Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 I see what it is, I always forget about the other USB port, I usually have another Wi-Fi adapter in it. Thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing this is because the Tab A I have is Wi-Fi only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0N3z Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 even if it is wifi only it can still make a hotspot. I have an older wifi only samsung tablet and it works just fine with wifi tethering but I had to get the app to use it. Other option is root it and edit the buildprop < not the best way but it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngd24 Posted January 15, 2018 Author Share Posted January 15, 2018 Hmm, did you use the hotspot manager from etusrudio or another one? I saw a couple in there named that. I'm rather new to the Andoid ecosystem, I've avoided it until now, been a Mac and iDevice person forever. Broke down and decided I need to learn it, mainly for things like the Pineapple and other security tools that just won't run on Apple. On the list is learning how to root the Droid.

b0N3z Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 if you want to root your device, dont start with a samsung, if things get messed up you could have a paperweight and thats not fun. Ive stuck to nexus devices. Hotspot Manager is the app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
