so i got a pioneer 5200 head unit today. it has a usb slot in the front, you can connect things to it and its suposta read them .. such as a ipod/iphone or any other phone with a sd card I WAS TOLD.
but i cant see to get it to work with my vibrant :-/ i know i had to put it in to debug mode to get it to work with my mac.. so i was not sure if i was missing something that i should of done.
any help? thanks.
Mount after plugging in?

you would need to mount the drives on the phoen as samuel said... but there could be another issue... When you mount two drives will showup (internal and SD), can the head unit process two drives?
Not ALL radios have the ability to read every phone. I have a new JVC KW-NX7000 Navi and it would not read crap from my Cliq, but would from my G1. Haven't tried it yet with the Vibrant. Try taking it out of debugging and see if that works.
Another thing to consider is that the head units often have size limitations for the partitions they can read.
It also might be getting confused with the internal storage and the sd card since I doubt it can read more than one drive at a time.
Same problem with the stock radio on my 09 civic si. I believe it to be because of the way the phone provides access to the storage cards (USB hub)

good call, i didnt think of the two drive thing.
checking there site it says
"Not every USB device is compatible with a Pioneer headunit containing an USB port. See more details at the following webpage: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/USBCompatibility. Pioneer headunits containing a USB port are compatible with USB MSC (Mass Storage Class) devices only, and are not compatible with DRM (Digital Rights Management) contents and MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) connection devices. For size and other limitations, please see Owner’s Manual. Unauthorized copying of music or other files is strictly prohibited. Optional USB extension cable is available for use with front USB ports."
how ever when going to the site they say its basically a blank page ha. ill try to take it out of debugging mode.. and if that does not work ill pop out the sd card.
i tried, taking out one of the sd cards, turning off debugging mode, changing it so i have to select if i want mass storage, or media mode.
and still i get nothing sad but oh well.. still got the aux port ha
I wish I had an aux port, fm transmitters suck ballz! I have to remove my antenna to not get static and even then, sometimes I do.

These things work great! http://www.amazon.com/Scosche-FM-MO..._3?ie=UTF8&s=automotive&qid=1284670423&sr=8-3
And the magic question is... CAN WE PUT OUR DEVICE IN USB MSC MODE? (Mass Storage Class)
I think it's one thing we really need. Almost every device is compatible with it, not with MTP!
You have to enable mass storage device and then mount it once you've plugged it into your receiver. Theres an app called Auto-mount that will do out for you automatically. It will only transfer music stored on your sd you will have to use the headphone jack for Pandora and Slacker.

I have the same problem with my Vibrant. I have an Alpine IXA-W404. When I plug in my phone via usb, it shows "searching" then "not supported" but on my head units screen it starts to show some random music files on my phone, but won't play them. I tried plugging in using two different wires, and tried with debugging on and off.
Any help? I even saw a video where the guy was doing it online with a similar setup, using a Droid and some other similar Alpine deck.
when i select "media player" from the usb settings on the phone, after about 20 seconds, the head unit starts to play a few songs but its very choppy. Any help is appreciated!
Also found this post that seems relevant, http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1283501
Is it possible to use the micro USB audio connector for audio? After rooting, the audio application of the android does not recognize the mp3 files to play. Why not let it do so?
I think that would require USB host mode like on the Samsung galaxy. I think that means needing extra hardware doesn't it? -otherwise I would expect every phone to be capable of it
edit: It is possible but you can fry stuff. Info on NookColor forum
USB host = great possible enhancement?
I wanted to post to proper thread, however I am new here I was not allowed to post on developers forum. So I hope that this post will still somehow find its way there. It also includes your original question.
Since some USB features are now claimed to be working, I wanted to ask directly poping out questions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21669750
Is it possible to...
1.) disable on-screen keyboard while using USB one?
2.) connect USB soundcard like: http://www.usbgear.com/computer_cable_details.cfm?sku=USBG-X2X&cats=121&catid=121%2C136%2C134
To allow listening mp3, Skype calls.... ?
3.) connect USB Ethernet card like: http://www.usbgear.com/205528.html
4.) to connect other cool usb stuff like: GSM, printers ... whatever
thanks you developer guys, I hope I'll once manage some time to learn more about the system and developement so that I could contribute too !
thanks to androind and nook simple touch creators!

Currently the answer to all of the above is no
The USB host mode patch was done for a specific project (USB keyboard support) and while I have been spending some time playing around with Bluetooth I'm not aware of any other dev(s) working on expanding this atm.
Stuff like audio, networking and Bluetooth requires _a_lot_ more than just the kernel accepting to communicate with the device.
thats shame. allowed skype calls would be great
Skype calls are working on my nook with OTG + USB audio card on usb host mode. But it is a bit difficult ))).
To update these older posts:
Yes, it is possible to disable the soft keyboard when using a USB keyboard.
See NullKbd in the signature.
Yes, Skype works fine.

Where is the difficulty?
Do a logcat and look for overruns and errors.
There were a few mods done to make Skype work.
so an external usb sound card is working?
Yes, an external USB audio adapter can work.
As a portable solution it's a bit cumbersome.
I don't know what current they usually draw, but my cheapy one draws 75 mA.
A desktop solution with powered hub (charging the Nook), a USB adapter and speakers works fine.
Would USB headphones work directly on that port? I have USB OTG cable and some USB sound card somewhere so I can check with regular 3.5mm jack headphones without trouble when I find some time to do it but I just wonder if anyone tried USB headphones on it and what they think of it. Is it worth of a hassle to buy one for NST?
Some USB devices use a multiplexor on the USB micro connector and can send actual analog audio down the connector.
Many Androids support USB host mode and can support an audio USB adapter, including the ones that go for < $10.
The NST (earlier Nooks with OMAP processors) don't have complete software support for USB host mode but can be coerced into working.
The Glows (later Nooks with IMX processor) don't have complete software or hardware support for USB host mode but can be coerced into working.
The Glow4 (7.8") has audio.
Hi
I just wonder it is any chance to connect two host to one android device?
I would like to connect 1x portable HDD and 1x SD Card reader to my Samsung Galaxy Note to get connection between hdd and sd card reader, just to simple transfer files between them. I already tryed connect them together via a SD Card reader with bultin host adapter via a USB socket in this device, but when I plugin a HDD to already connected sd card reader host I get an error and only a second connected device is working, so it looks like only one storage device can work in a same time. So maybe it is possible to apply some spllitter before two hosts and connect each device to different host adapter?
an usb hub, maybe?
If I understand you correctly, the problem is there can only be one host in any USB connection system.
In this case that host device should be your Galaxy Note.
You will have to be using an OTG cable and a USB hub.
The most I've ever connected at one time to my little device
was a card reader, a flash drive, 2 keyboards, a mouse, an audio adapter and a GPS.
I already have a OTG cable and the usb hub. But only one storage device at a time can be recognized by galaxy. When I plugin another one, the one already connected is automatically switched off and galaxy showing an error
I found the solution, the problem was with insufficient power, so I rebuild a otg cable a little bit to give it a +5V, and another +5V to a portable HDD and now I have exactlly what I need... a simple USB OTG BRIDGE fully controlled by GALAXY NOTE. I was need this to use a portable HDD as a photo bank (copy all of files from sd card to hdd in a travel). Thanks for your posts anyway.
Hi,
i have a Cube U23GT tablet. It supports OTG. The tablet can be charged only trough DC in with an adaptor, so not trough usb port. I have an OTG cable, and if i plug with that a mouse in, or keyboard, it works perfectly. I saw on youtube some videos where people connected mouse and keyboard at the same time to their tablets, for example: youtube.com/watch?v=benblX95ORM
So as i saw this video i thinked: all i need is an USB HUB, i bought one: logilink.eu/showproduct/UA0138.htm?seticlanguage=en
I plugged the HUB in trough OTG and the result was: the LED of the hub lights are on, but then, when i try to plug the mouse OR (not just "AND") the keyboard, it wont work. The infra of the mouse is lights too but the tablet dont detect it, i cant use it.
So can you tell me what can be the problem? Its not a powered HUB i know, but on the videos that i saw (for example what i linked here) arent powered hubs too, and works.
If you can, please help me, thanks!
anybody?

Ok so currently there is something wrong with USB mounting where even through dock it doesn’t show up.
To get this to work do the following:
In play store search up ‘xplore’ and download it.
Open xplore, go into settings and scroll to where it asks if you want to use it’s driver. Tick that and go back. Plug USB in to dock and when it asks if you want to mount it select yes.
Voila!

I believe this is only in regards to usb storage. I downloaded xplore file manager and found the option that op mentioned. When I plugged in my xbox 360 controller wireless adapter nothing new happened, but when I plugged in a flash drive I did get the prompt they mentioned.
Controllers work if you connect via dock and yes it was ‘xplore file manager’
Was there anything else you may have done? Also, which controller were you able to use with this method? I tried connecting my xbox one controller to the dock over usb with this open and nothing popped up on the screen and the controller wasn't working. The controller just vibrated.
Can anyone confirm that the USB to Ethernet adapter works ?

Kodi and USB drives
Hello all! First post here. ^^
I’m wondering if you guys have been able to use external usb drives with Kodi.
I have used the app “Microsoft exFAT/NTFS for usb by Paragon software” to mount a NTFS drive to the switch. I can use the app “x-plore” to browse my 1TB drive and can play all my songs and media. However I cannot find the drive in the kodi app. I would greatly like to be able to add all my media to the kodi library.
Any suggestions guys?
Thanks
Should also be sure to remove the Switch Game Card. This was not doing anything, then after I removed mine, it worked perfectly. Just don't use the HORI Dock. That damn thing does not work at all.
Quick update: got the USB to Ethernet adaptor working while docked - just download the app called USB Device info and it will activate all USB ports while docked

USB drives worked but not the USB to Ethernet adapter. It took a while to figure it out, so other than that you will need to to enable Ethernet on the OS. I did that through https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706211
I don't have busy box but it seems to have gotten the job done for me
Be careful - it will make ur switch hang - but after reset just delete it and then it will work

Thanks, but I talking about la possibility for read usb stick from the switch directly
OTG is currently only used for serial, peripherals don’t work when connected directly

I have had success with “Microsoft exFAT/NTFS for usb by Paragon software”. But it isn’t free.. The price will depend on which file format your usb drive is.
Maybe there isn’t an alternative, but this is all I know of now.
i get a message no supported partition was found?
Hey do you know anyways to make it work with dolphin?
breakthru just used stickmount to get a 4tb drive to detect
We still dont have usb controllers working?
Anybody know the directory location for external USB storage? Trying to access my games on redream from external storage and can’t find the right directory (if I’m even in that area of the devices storage).
