I tested a logitech Cordless Rumble pad 2, the wireless reciever picks up the controller and flashes when a button is pressed. But nothing happens in android, the only input I could get from it was trying to set the controls in a snes emulator to the controller, it pops up a window saying please press a button to map to, then it has clear and cancel under it. Whenever I press a button on the controller it seems to cancel it. So it is getting input though just doesn't seem to work properly.

@ Mitre I think this adapter just takes care of the physical connection between Ethernet and USB (there's probably some helpful electronics going on inside), but I think it relies on the operating system for a driver, which I don't think Android has natively.

I know that some tablets (Flytouch) come with an RJ45 socket, so it should be possible to create a connection.

I'd quite like to explore this further... do you think it's okay to continue the discussion here or should I create a new thread?

Interesting stuff - This would be best in its own thread.

Thanks, Charlie, I'll create a new thread soon.

As mentioned elsewhere:

I've got a '3' Huawei E160G mobile broadband dongle on PAYG. Unfortunately it's got no airtime on it at the moment so I can't get online. However, plugging it in to the Excel via the OTG cable shows 3 bars of 3G signal.

When I've next got some PAYG credit I'll check whether it will get the Excel online... for the moment, it's a 'maybe'

I've also tried, unsuccessfully, to connect an external USB CD drive that has it's own power supply. It's probably a driver issue, so don't hold your breath on this one.

I'll await your testing then I'll add it to the list, fingers crossed it works!

hi
regarding Lexar Class 10 card i think that android can not read cards faster than Class 6 I am not 100% on this but i read it somewhere it will work just not faster than class6 please correct me if i am talking nonesense
ive just got the cheap ones they seem to work fine

I don't know about the speed it's actually working at, but I can confirm its fully working. I've installed most of my Apps to the SD card and everything works without a single hitch! I've move files between folders, both between internal and external storage and I've had no issues at all.
I downloaded Jeb Corliss " Grinding the crack" at 720p, to the SD and it plays really smooth, with no errors. (I've not had a chance to try 1080p yet).

As Charlie said, maybe the Excel's downgrading the speed it accesses the card, but to use an analogy, just because you own a ferrari, doesn't mean you need to fully open the throttle to appreciate the power and speed! lol

That is a very good price for a HDMI to HDMI mini cable - I might get one too, but I have 4 already
