How to use 3G USB modem on Nexus 7?

How to use 3G broadband USB modem on Google Nexus 7? Yes, current Nexus 7 model does not have 3G data connection compatibility. You are stuck with Wi-Fi connection only. Well, that’s not true after all. You can actually enable 3G data connection on Nexus 7 with the help of root access, OTG cable, 3G broadband USB modem (like Huawei, ZTE) and PPP Widget. Too bad that I can’t try it myself because I only have Huawei Wi-Fi Modem E5832. So far users reported it is working on Huawei GSM / UMTS Stick and O2 Germany ZTE 3565-z UMTS Stick. Do try it out…

Samsung Galaxy S3 with Logitech Stereo Speakers Z110

USB OTG cable has lot of usages. And it can used on Android smartphone like Samsung Galaxy S III and Android tablet like Google Nexus 7. Besides connect it to Logitech Wireless Gamepad F710 to play games, I use it to connect to Samsung Galaxy S3 and Nexus 7 with Logitech Stereo Speakers Z110 for music and video. Logitech Stereo Speakers Z110 is a USB powered speakers. A perfect combination with Samsung Galaxy S3 and Nexus 7 due to its compact size and can draw power from the devices themselves.

How to enable USB stick / flash drive on Nexus 7?

Google Nexus 7 does not have microSD card slot. Adding extra SD card to increase storage space is not an option. You will face low disk space issue sooner or later especially for those with 8GB storage model (like mine). My Amazon Kindle Fire serves me well even with 8GB storage only. However, situation is not the same with Nexus 7 because it supports lot of interesting Android games with NVIDIA Tegra 3 GPU. And most of these advanced 3D games require lot of disk space. Luckily, I manage to put most of my music, photo and video on external storage like USB flash drive. And connect it with USB OTG cable when needed. Of course, with the help of StickMount application too. Note – root access is required.

How to enable USB keyboard support on Android USB OTG?

Err… My PROLiNK USB Keyboard is not supported by Samsung Galaxy S II USB OTG. Oh, I should use ‘was’ instead of ‘is’ because I managed to get it working on Samsung Galaxy S2 now. Thanks to XDA Developer, Td8f4. Without his patch, my USB keyboard is still detected as “High-power USB device connected ~ Unable to access this device. Connected device needs external power supply”. No worry if your USB keyboard is not working too, try below patch and it might works like mine…

How to make USB Pen Drive bootable?

Microsoft Windows is very stable now. No need to format Windows when system crashed. I still remember the day when using Microsoft Windows 95 / ME.

But it is replaced by USB flash drive nowadays. How to make USB Pen Drive bootable? There is a tool called Makebootable from PenDrive that can make your Pen Drive bootable.
