since i got tablets, i miss the possibility to charge and use usb at the same time. And so,i tried a lot of adapters. On my note 10.1 2014, i tried one, from samsung, that was specialised for the note pro 12.2, sorry,dont know the exact Type,but i bring it,promised.....
Also with my tab s2 9,7Lte (815),i try different ones,but no one work,till i try this one from samsung again......and.....it works perfectly. The TabS2 have a build in ethernet interface (settings, other connections, ethernet). I plug in a ethernet cable,work....... plug in charger.......work......then i connect my IRig UA,got power and it works.......charging not interupted, ethernet still working......and the adapter have two Usb 2.0 Ports and 1 Usb3.0 mini Port (like Note3) for charging, but also works with a micro usb 2.0.........
Thats fantastic......i be absolutely happy with the tab S2.....got root now, amazing power.....great device samsung......
The only prob is, some apps don't support ethernet for internet connections,like chrome and others. There is a tool for xposed, calles fake wifi connection, but Xposed don't work at the moment,about my Rom isn't deodexed......but soon, i think.
Or anyone got another solution for this?

The Name of the Adapter is Samsung ET-UP900 ......

I installed the app Eth0 from playstore, that let the apps think, a 3G connection is running, so, all apps, inkluded playstore are working fine now......

In my company, we have a VPN network, Remote desktop Connections and all the Admin Stuff is working fine...... You can configure the Ethernet Settings automatic, with dhcp or you can set a fixed ip adress and set the subnet and Gateway ......

I tried it with Ethernet, charging, and two USB Ports running a Audio Interface, and an USBStick on the other....perfect....

Hi

I have the Tab S1 running stock kitkat 4.4.2, My windows computer is an HP 20" tablet and it came with an hp usb to ethernet adaptor, after reading this thread i decided to give it a go, and it works great and i did not have to change any setting or install any software and i can browse the net with not problems.

So it looks like non Samsung usb to ethernet adapters can work as well.

John.

Yes, the ethernet adapter is no wonder.......more interesting is that USB and charging work also.....normaly, the usb port on Android tablet is physically so configured, that is can only charge or Power a usb device....(of course a kernel thing also).....and on the Tab S2 work all at the same time........

on Android devices should work every USB to Ethernet Adapter via OTG Cable, or you find a micro usb to ethernet......

On the note 10.1 2014 LTE, i found no adapter, that allows to charge and using usb at the same time, including the Lavalink adapter, that should.....

@john, browsing the net is no problem, but some apps,playstore also, needs to have a WiFi or 3g connection. (Try to download an app in playstore with ethernet) so you need for this apps a tool, that fake them, they have a 3g or WiFi connection. That's not a problem of the adapter, that apps aren't made to run with lan . This problem can be fixed with eth0 app.....

I made my own USB OTG cable and with an 82k resistor on pin 5 of the USB cable it charges and does OTG at the same time. Note however that it also keeps the CPU awake so you need to keep the charger connected, or put a switch/relay in series with the resistor- otherwise the battery only lasts a couple of days.

I've installed my S2 9.7 LTE as a replacement for my car's stereo and its going pretty great so far.

Using as my car stereo is the reason I bought this. What deck are you using. What apps to use for driving, that sorta thing. I'm kinda new to exploring the simplest way to integrate this. I have a magnetic mount so I just throw it on my dash and drive. So far so good but I know it can be better.

There is also adapter called STS-2UE. It's a hub that has 2 x USB ports, Ethernet connection, and it charges the tablet and peripherals in the same time while accessing ethernet and USBs data. It cost around $90 or $100 bucks. On their website lavalink.com you can find a list of supported Samsung tablets. They are a Silver Samsung Partner, plus using this board won't wave your warranty because it doesn't require rooting the tablet. Cheers

Looking around in Aliexpress and haven't found any so far. There seems to be either one or other, charge or otg. Any keywords or any that could be bought in 2019 at Amazon or Aliexpress? Literally I want charging and Internet thru rj45 at the same time to flow to the same micro-usb cable that connects to tablet.
