Hi all. Just wanted to know what external devices people have got to work on their Mini Pro's through a USB host cable.
I'm running the bog standard Sony ICS ROM 4.0.4 (Build number 4.1.B.0.431)
So far I have got the following working:
Logitech Cordless Optical Mouse - P/N:831383-0000
Apple Wired Optical Mouse - M/N:M5769
Dell Wired Keyboard - Model:RT7D50
What doesn't work:
Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 - P/N:X802611-008
Freecom 32GB USB Databar
Integral 16GB USB Data stick
SmartDisk USB floppy disk drive - Model:FDUSB-TM2
Gemplus Smartcard reader - P/N:HWP108760 B
ADMtekUSB 2 Ethernet - M/N:UE-120
It would be good to get a full listing, and if any coders are able to get some of the non-working devices to work would be great.

If you have a stock Xperia ICS firmware your mobile phone will not work as USB host.
It will work as USB host if you rooted it, and have installed the required kernel modules and you use the USB OTG Helper app (you can find modules in the second post of USB OTG Helper thread).
If you already have the modules and the helper, it's sad to hear that no storage device you tested is working

Is it possible to use a usb device without a dock using the usb cord that comes with the tf201?
Nope, but you can get one of these.
Does it have full USB functions (keyboard connectivity and USB storage connectivity) ?
I have that and although I have not connected a keyboard I have gotten it to work wit a ps3 controller and a memmory card reader.

I have used a thumbdrive, harddrive, usb receiver for logitec mouse and keyboard, usb wifi adapter (had to the compile drivers)... I imagine anything with a proper driver would work..
Did anyone tried to use Galaxy Tab 2 10.1(P5100) with usb to IRda adaptor as a remote control with sucess(providing that you have Samsung usb adaptor at the first place)?I see that Peel app works with Tab 2,but in Note it works with internal IRda port.

I doubt if there is any usb IRDa driver so i would not expect that to work
I was afraid about that,all adaptors at the market are delivered with windows drivers,I did not find not a single one with android.

Android USB has only basic drivers for mouse, keyboard , flash and a generic web cam. I don;t think anything else will be recognized. That was done to keep the package as small as possible. And you can't just download a new driver since they reside in the system lib area and on a consumer android device that is inaccessible.
great idea for work application
one of my friends try this one: computerusb(dot)com ,
feel great, they offer drivers.
Hi,
I'm trying to get a usb camera works on xperia sola. I started from the beginning (I'm not a modder) so for first downloaded and compiled ics kernel from source 6.1.1.B.1.54. Added UVC camera supports on menuconfig. several test several fail, but at the end I'm able to flash an boot my kernel. First problem is power consumption over usb OTG, got a usb powered hub, gone. Now I've 3 UVC webcam Microsoft HD-3000, Logitech C270 and an Acer Crystal Eye from a notebook with soldered usb cables. All cameras works on linux and on windows and also are listed on uvc compliant list.
I can't get working Anyone can help me? Anyone done some similar work? I missed some step?
Thanks a lot
Hi all, I have a MK809III tv stick with Android 4.4.2 running. I use it as a mini PC with a LCD screen. I have attached to its USB OTG ports a quadrate 2.0 4 ports USB HUB (google for this and you can see it) , and connected to it, a PS/2 keyboard (using an usbtoPs2 adapter), an usb mouse, a usb ethernet dongle, and a usb sound card dongle. When I use this combo, all works fine, the mouse can drag and select, also wheel works, the keyboard works fine, the ethernet run smooth, and the sound works as player and mic recorder, the only thing not works is to reboot the tv stick, and launch android again (with other MK89III tv stick this also works flawlessly), to get this, I must to unplug RJ45 or usb ethernet. But this last question is not my main problem. The main problem is that I can not make the combo work anyway if I change usb hub model, If I use a 2.0 usb square hub (no name brand) with a little blue led installed, all works fine, but using other hub (I have tested two others), thare is no way to work. The main situation is that the hub stops work, and all item connected not works at all. But commonly, mouse works with a bad behaviour in button response, usb sound disconnects suddenly, or usb ethernet lagg or not works at all. My question is about this behaviour with usb hubs, if there is a special requirements in hardware to match an usb hub with this kind of android devices, or if thare are some drivers that can solve this.
Thank in advance.
Solved
I have solved the two main problems in order to use my MK809III RK3188 as a mini pc with usb hub and rj45 ethernet. The hub must to be a chip on board one, no an all-in-one glued ultra-cheap type, this is a mark of better quality and response, then you can conect keyboard/mouse, usb or ps2 with usb converters, usb sound, and usb pendrives. The ethernet must be an ASIX AX88772C, this a true usb ethernet 100mbps (7MB/s real) device, since I use it there is no lag, no boot errors, no delays or shorts in Tx/Rx. That´s all.
Hi!
Please, give me advice how to find out problem root with some USB devices that can't be detected/used with my android device.
There is device like car rear view mirror with android. Phisung E06 or any of exactly same devices under different Chinese brands. Every device have touchscreen, front view camera, rear view USB (!) camera, one SIM card LTE, GPS and mini USB connector. Rear view camera connector is 2,5 mm mini jack instead of regular USB connector. miniUSB connector is for power supply and for firmware update from PC. These devices are based on MTK MT6735 chip that have only one USB port (as you see there is two USB connectors and only one phisical USB port) and 2 . Android is 5.1 Lollipop. Кernel version is 3.10.65+
I run dmesg in android console and found following. miniUSB port is connected to MT6735 regular USB port whereas USB camera is connected to inter chip USB port that normally used to work with second SIM card. I soldered DIY 2,5 mm mini jack to USB female adapter and tested it. With USB active hub with external power supply and my DIY adapter I successfully connected and used rear view camera, keyboard and mouse . They are work well. However USB card reader and U-BLOX USB GPS reciever are not detected by android. So I used USB Device Info app to check how my devices are detected by kernel USB subsystem. I was able connect hub to hub to hub and plug my devices to any port of them.
-USB Device Info app on the kernel tab view always give correct HUB hierarchy and point of connection hub/port of camera/mouse/keyboard and it's detailed info (vendor, name, etc.).
-USB card reader is shown too connected but none of my SD card recognized. No info in USB Device. No SD Card files in any of subfolder of /storage folder.
-U-BLOX USB GPS reciever was not detected at all. It's power indicator is lit still. GNSS Commander can't use reciever showing it's offline status. (P.S. Reciver is OK. It is used with PC and OTG port of my android 5 tablet)
The question are:
- why SD card is not detected in card reader
- why U-BLOX USB GPS reciever is not detected at all
I expect both of them are requre data to be recieved from host to control usb peripherial device. Unlike, for example, camera or mouse who do not require any data from host.
Please, advice me what log I need to check, what special apps I need to run, what adb and console commands can help me.
Thank you

could you plz send me the Preloader because I f*ck up my system and format the whole system :S
