Well I've already used the USB Host on my Tablets and phones for mouse, controllers, keyboards, Apparently we can also attach USB Hard Drives?
My question is can it also work for USB CD/DVD Drives? I don't have device right now setup with USB Host to try it out.

At the moment I'm using an mk 808 as media player with two usb drives attached (and xbmc).
I was planning on installing a samba server on the mk808 as well (sanba filesharing), but that seemed to be rather slow (probably because the connection to the router isn't that great). The other samba or ftp servers I tried weren't faster or couldn't read/write to the usb drives.
Of course just plugging in the usb drives in the laptop is a good option, but I was trying to avoid having to disconnect them from the mk808.
I have also been thinking about just connecting the mk808 to the laptop, but then it only shows the sdcard folder. Is it possible to mount the usb-drives in a subfolder of the sdcard and then being able to acces them through usb-connected mk808? I tried changing the mountpoint in vold.fstab, but that didn't seem to affect anything (still mounting to the same spot)
I'm using an mk808 with xbmc and two seperate usb drives which should be mounted at fixed,specific locations every time I unplug an replug them.
How to achieve this in jellybean? I've already tried changing stuf in /etc/vold.fstab,but this seems to have no effect (I changed /mnt/usb_storage/USB_DISK0 to /mnt/fusb_storage/USB_DISK0 to see if it affects anything,but nothing changed)
I`m searching for a useable solution to get usb host/otg on my Galaxy Ace. I want to use my phone to control my nikon-dslr. There are apps like dslrdashboard or bbqdslr on the market, but they need usb host.
Using Mardons CM10.1 ROM [URL] .... but it seems that the kernel doesn`t support usb host.
I didn't find a kernel with usb host.
It seems strange to me: ext2/3/4 is the native filesystem for the device - but with device as USB host I can't access. It seems only FAT and NTFS is available.
Is there any ways to make this possible?
Background: my Sat-Receiver records to an ext2/3 partition and I would like to transfer this smoothly to my nook.
Currently my solution is to use my laptop, there I need a ext2/3 driver and transfer via MPT. This is not very comfortable and slow.

Right now, I'm using an HTC EVO 4G LTE, running ICS. Now the source code is out, however, no one has yet to add USB host capabilities to their kernel, so I figure I might as well do it myself. I read on kernel development, and I have a surface level understanding, but I'm just interested in adding the USB host capabilities.
View 2 Replies View Relatedhow the Nexus Tablet 7 charges? Not through the USB port, right?
I have a Transformer right now w/ the dock & 2 full sized usb ports on it. But I have been waiting for the Nexus Tab for months, because of the screen, processor, and price. however since it does not have a microSD, I would definitely need to be able to plug in my 500GB usb hdd into it. I would need a OTG cable, right? And it does not use the MicroUSB port to charge, right? Otherwise how could you use the usb and charge it at the same time?
I bought my Hero yesterday, so I'm very new to the Android platform...I'm connected to the LAN at work via wifi. I'm curious to know if there's a way to map network drives or access network shares on a PC connected to the same LAN. It'd be nice to be able to access the office documents using my phone.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI noticed after uploading a picture to Facebook, that it seems to have created a second "mobile uploads" Facebook album. It no doubt has to do with the fact that "Facebook for HTC Sense" and "Facebook for Android" is installed (that drives me nuts, but I can live with it).Unfortunately, now I see that my pictures are stored on both my phone's drive, and the SD card. The ones on my phone, I can't even seem to see with Astro.

I am curious if theres an app out there that supports USB host for keyboards and/or Flash drives. I like the idea of just plugging in my flash drives and viewing/editing my files on the go when I dont have my computer with me.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhat i want to do, is use either my tab 2 7.0 or my old htc hero as a router. I want to set up a homegroup from my server, but dont want to buy a router. My isea is to create a network and broadcast it from the wifi card in the ohone. This probably wont connect to the internet any time soon, but i feel that as long as i only need to access movies and stuff from my server the phone card's radiuswill suffuce.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI need the OTG/USB Host function on my Jiayu G3. Normally it doesn't support it..
So I did i lot of research and tests at "how i can enable it" and found some information:
1. some things point to it, like the libusbhost.so in /system/lib
2. all 5 pins of the usb slot are connected to a chip (this says nothing, i know)
3. i have found a pdf, which says that otg is possible on mt6575-77 (found on github)
So my question, how to get otg/usb host get enabled on Jiayu G3 oder m65xx phones?
If Acer Iconia A110 supports USB hosting/OTG?
I want to connect USB ethernet, essentially.
On a general note if it doesn't, can it be achieved via some app with/without root?
I dont believe this ever did it prior to root. When I connect my phone to pc it brings up 2 drives not just the sd card. I believe one is the actual phone? i have deleted any pics off the phone. Is there a way to just have the sd card pop up? The only thing on the other one is LOST.dir

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to connect from a host (PC or other) to a mobile cellular Android device on the Verizon/AT&T cellular network. This device uses only the 3G network and has its Wi-Fi turned off. The Android device has a listening socket and I need the remote host to be the connection initiator. As far as I know, Verizon/AT&T uses NAT traversal for mobile phones and assigns local IP addresses to them on the cellular network. This prevents me from initiating a connection to the device from a remote host.
With the usage of IPv6 assignments there shouldn't be any practical limitation (virtually unlimited) to the number of "real" IPs that can be assigned.Therefore my questions are:
1. Does the Verizon/AT&T cellular network support IPv6 and assigns IPv6 addresses to capable Android devices?
2. Does Android 2.2+ have enough support for IPv6 to implement such solution?
I am aware of other methods that can be used, such as C2DM, but it has some drawbacks (such as unknown response time) that prevent me from using it.
I can't get to recovery at all when i enter it i cant see the recovery but when i touch the screen it viberates and i thing i am pressing on the recovery stuff plus i cant root at all the adb says : unkown host service
