Anyone tried running SDR++ for Android on a Samsung Galaxy A7 tablet yet?

Wondering if I should buy a Samsung Galaxy A7 tablet to run SDR++?
Thanks.

Disregard: I read the question wrong.

Tested it with Samsung Galaxy A8 (SM-X205): possible to start the app, but no reception with RTL-SDR dongle (NESDR SMArTee).

Have you installed the driver?

SDR driver - Apps on Google Play

SDR driver for RTL2832U based USB dongles and Hack RF

play.google.com

For the other apps, it's needed.
I haven't tried SDR ++ yet.

Yes, I have this driver and started it before SDR++.
Anyone here with SDR++ running on Android??

I came across this - worked for me.

I did this a few years ago and it worked fine. The downside was that the operating time is pretty short because as I recall, the SDR was quite the power hog.

I have a splitter than allows a USB device and a power cord to share the port on an Android tablet. Not sure where I got it, but it can offset the power needed for SDR operation.

I got one of those too and if memory serves, it did the job. One could use an external USB power source but otherwise, it hobbles the mobility aspect of using a tablet with the SDR. Not a deal killer but adds to the stuff you need to go untethered.
