The drive pulls too much power. Just get a cheap POWERED usb hub. I have a crummy old one that works great with my drives. It even works good with my harddrives and such.

Usb host doesnt work in ubutnu 0.3

I have bought a micro usb to normal usb hub.
I know that the hd2 doesn't provide power to the usb device, and that it needs extenal power, however, I bought a hard drive that has external power.
But when I connect the hard drive to my phone in Ubuntu, it just doesn't see it.
Thank you, Roosen5
Anyone knows the answer?
Sounds like a driver issue in Ubuntu... Not much you can do without writing one yourself or waiting until someone who can finds they need one and publish it.

[Q] usb host on Flyer?

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if there should be any technical reason why the Flyer cant run on Honeycombe 3.1 and implement the usb host update so I can download jpegs from my dslr using usb.
Many thanks.
It might be worth trying it without honeycomb, I believe that Qualcomm chips have supported USB host since Eclair, perhaps HTC enabled it already?
Has anyone tried it yet?
I'd like to read some gps data from a SD card.
Thanks guys but needed a tablet asap which would also allow me to transfer files from my dslr via usb. Its been confirmed on other forums that the 3.1 update from Motorola will enable this so went with the Zoom
If you just need it for the DSLR have you considered an EyeFI card? For less than $100 you can get a direct connection from the camera to the tablet (or phone).

I know, its a great solution but my D700 only uses CF cards which aren't currently supported.

Yeah I have a D70 that's not supported either. I haven't gone and gotten one for my D60 yet although I've considered it a few times.
USB-host on Flyer
hi guys!
any news on this topic?
as there is already tmp root achieved and permanent root on s-off flyers, has anybody already tried to implement usb host functionality now?
I believe to have heard, that Honeycomb should support USB-host functionality automatically... Do we need to wait for 3.2, or could we get it earlier?
I'd really appreciate this (as I am also owning a DSLR from Canon), and would be willing to donate.
greets, alf.
Sure that the Flyer has the necessary chipset to work as a USB host?

I'm actually working on a direct DSLR app using USB host, a preview of which should hopefully be released by the end of the week (alpha, not beta).
I'm mentioning this because it works on the Galaxy S2 with 2.3.4. I've not been able to get it to work on the Galaxy S1 with 2.3.4, but it just goes to show, it may not be 100% necessary to be running HC 3.1 to support it (as evidenced by the SGS2).
What kind of connection cable does the HTC Flyer have ? Micro USB ? If so, I'd advise to give the test app a spin when I release it if you happen to have a USB host cable.
Either way, the chips themselves have supported it for years and years, that's not the issue. Kernel and framework support and such is the problem.

yes, the flyer got a micro usb port.
I also happen to have the correct usb host cable (micro usb to usb-female...), so as soon as your software is out, I would give it a try.
please keep us informed, thx!

Test with a card reader or ext hd (powered) plugged to your cable and see if you get a new drive through a file explorer... The kernel will definitely need to support this functionality, or the fstab may need to be modified.

Indeed if you have a micro usb cable already, connect a usb stick, see if anything happens... that should tell you straight up.
of course I already tried different devices (USB-stick, hard drive, camera directly...), but there was absolutely no reaction ...
simply plugging it in doesn't work.
greets
Then it's probably lacking kernel and/or framework support.
is there a way to fix this with root?
any news on this matter?

Hi Chainfire,
have you looked into the Archos Gen8 range of tablets for any kernel info?
They utilise Froyo and have had USB host since day one. Maybe you could patch something from there?
H.
And what about porting the results for the SGT described here? http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...e-versatile-thanks-to-usb-host-functionality/
I can't wait. A Flyer with notes, the pen and USB host would be an fantastic tool for photography AND for any kind of fieldwork.
If you can take a photo with a proper camera and then check it on a flyer awesome display and use the pen... just imagine!
Sometimes I'm afraid that HTC did not bet enough hard for a fantastic device!

[Q] Backtrack 5 chroot Forwarding usb from host mode

Hey im running backtrack5 on the galaxy sII. Trying to attach a exernal us..?b wifi card. The phone recognizes the decice and is powered correctly. All i need to do is install the driver on the chroot session. How can you forward the usb?
I can run desmg and i can see its connected
Any ideas?
Maybe better to ask this question on the BackTrack thread on the SGS II Android Development forum

Very interesting information ... post it HERE please and don't forget to tell us, which card you use!
wifi card
Yeah i know, i totally would post on in the Dev section but i have under 10 posts with XDA and unfortunately i cant post there.( dumb )
the card i used is a "alfa network 802.11g high power usb" (AWUS036H)
the only reason why it powers up is because I modified the cable to feed power in, same thing could be acheived by plugging the cable into a powered USB hub, except i wanted to eventually run this on a rechargeable battery.
it seems like i have the old version of busy box in the chroot session, any ideas on forwarding the new one onto it, i have ver 1.9 on android and 1.3 on the chroot session.
thx

I always wondered, if a Y-cable usually used for USB HDDs might work ... one end for data, the other plugged into a USB hub for power.
except i wanted to eventually run this on a rechargeable battery.

Would be a nice solution for the SGS2. On the Asus Transformer the dock should have enough power, I think.

USB OTG Trick , Would it solve our problems ?

I guess most of us faced the too much power problem with OTG cable while connecting to certain devices like usb modem or 6 axis (PlayStation 3) gamepad
I was thinking what if I used external power supply using a hub as shown in the attached pic
would it work , is there any other solution?
the pic is a method for usb otg non supporting devices like nexus s, offcorse they also need a special kernel and certain apps
sorry I'm new and can't post links
any comment is appreciated

in order to solve that problem, you must connect a powered usb hub to the phone, and the gamepad to the hub.

[Q] otg cable not recognizing harddrive

Hello,
I've bought an otg cable for my note 3.
the strange thing is it see's my bluetooth mouse and i can use it just fine.
But as soon as i connect an harddrive or a usbstick it won't reconize it it see's it but it says that it's empty or it can't read it.
Are there some setting i need to change? i couldn't find them!
I was thinking the cable was okay because it works fine with my mouse ..?
Does anybody know what is wrong..?
Thankss

Is your phone providing enough power? I don't know why you'd be able to see them if it wasn't, but it's a common issue with OTG. Is the hard drive also plugged into the wall?

exFat, Fat32 formatted hard drives work for me. NTFS does not.
Nexus Media Importer can read the NTFS drives but not write.
I tried stickmount, Paragon etc nothing works for writing into NTFS hard drives.
You should try formatting your drive into exFat.
