Can our mini USB ports be used to connect things like usb flash drives, I know it cannot by default but doesnt the samsung and qualcomm chisets support this? I know windows CE supports it as well.
My first guess is that if you had a USB -> miniUSB adapter, it would probably work, assuming there is a driver available to the system. What would be the benefit to that though? Just use a USB cable to grab stuff off the device if you really need something there.. OR, email it to yourself via. a webmail account...
Could be cool to get to work though!
isnt com6 marked for RIL serial?

would that be suggesting a possible way to use the mini usb port? what is EXTUSB that htc offers on some of there devices? would that be a host control feature?
To All... the HTC Hermes does not Support USB-HOST... try running a search for this as i have answered this question before.....

as a side project to my "htc serial mouse" , i would like to make a usb device attachment to be able to pluig in such devices as webcameras usb printers and joysticks. i am trying to develop the cable but withought having a driver for any device i cannot test it. as my current knoloage there is a xda camera, can i please have a link to the drivers so i can adapt them to work wit hte usb webcam?
thankyou.
I didnt think it was possible to connect any type of usb device to an xda1 because the xda is a slave device and doesnt have the hardware/software to host other slave devices. I would be interested to know how you will add his capability.
not sure lol thats y im working on it, altho i didnt relise it was a slave. is there a software mod i can add to change this? could explain my problems
I think you would need to redesign the xda to include the usb capability.
ahh
ahh i see, im sorry to ask, but is the slave part writted in codeo n the rom or is it a hardware based hting? thankyou.
The hardware does not exist within the xda as far as I know it isnt a software issue.
i too would say it's hardware usb unlike firewire can only have one master at the time and making a peripheral which can both be peripheral and master cost more
read more about usb if you like, maybe you can prove us wrong ?

THANKYOU THIS WILL HELP I THINK!!!!!!
hi
just worked with hte abouve and relised that the virtual usb is still client thanks tho
Raptor,
Read through this section of MSDN for USB ce and you'll see why you can't drive a USB peripheral from a win ce device:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...l/wceddksample_usb_host_controller_driver.asp
Unless you want to write the U/OHCI piece and provide the physical cableing to connect to a usb peripheral.
Hi,
I'm sorry if this question was answered before. I've searched inside and outside of the forum for the answer in vain.
I'm trying to connect a Garmin eTrex H GPSr to my HTC Wizard. I know USB host controller is required (which is missing in Wizard) to connect any device via USB. Therefore I want to know if I can connect this GPSr (which has serial interface) to the Wizard through USB port or any other port. My understanding is that Wizard has a serial port (probably the UBS port) - I can also see a serial port using port scanning software.
If this was discussed earlier, please tell me so that I can search more.
Thanks a lot.
another way to do it
I was wondering, if the above method is hopeless - is there a way to virtually map Bluetooth serial port to the physical mini-USB port? Anybody knows a software that can do this?
Hi
How is there a way tu use my computer internet on my Hero throught the USB connection ??
Thanks
I'm sure there is, but wouldn't be easier to use bluetooth or wifi connection for that?
like some el cheapo USB dongle with AP mode... or maybe to buy new modem with wifi... or... don't know. access point?

Do you mean use the Hero "tethered" as a modem for the computer? If so the answer (at least for UK Heros) is yes.
First of all make sure you have HTC Sync on your computer. Then do the following:
1 Make sure your phone’s data connection is turned on.
2. Connect the phone to the computer using the USB cable.
3. Press HOME > MENU, and then tap Settings > Wireless controls.
4. Select the Mobile network sharing check box.
@peterc10, I think the OP means the opposite (ie. tethering the Hero to a computer via USB), but I'm not sure.
Certainly, putting it on your wireless network (or getting one) would be an easier option, and it wouldn't require any cables. As a bonus, you can use your home internet from all round the house with the device.
@schlagg, any reason the wireless suggestion wouldn't work. Personally, I think it would be a lot easier to set up.

I wasn't sure either, hence my first question. I don't know whether you can do it the other way around, and I have wifi at home so don't need to anyway.
I guess we will have to wait for the OP to tell us which they meant.

no particular reason
just being curious
my wifi connection works well ...
but sometimes, i manage to go to some friends who don't have wifi
with my previous winmo, it was possible without any configuration, so just wondering if its the same here
i was actually wondering about the same thing..i dont have a wifi router and i dont think i'll be getting one soon anw since it wont "work" on my house... we have multiple floors and we prefer cables kinda
anw can i access the internet through USB?
No, this is not possible. The USB hardware in the Hero is that of a USB Slave (or USB Device, like a printer or camera.) In order for it to get internet access from this port, it would have to be set up as a USB Host, like your computer is. If you 'adb shell' into your phone and run "ls /dev/" you won't see any USB devices there.
If I'm wrong, I apologize, but I'm 99% sure this is the case.
EDIT: I think the best option would be to get a USB Bluetooth dongle for your computer. You can get one for like $15. Maybe less.

Nope. Quote from manual
"The phone supports the following Bluetooth profiles: Headset, Handsfree, A2DP, and AVRCP."
AFAIK none of those will enable you to use the computer as a modem. The first two are self explanatory. A2DP allows movement of stereo music files. AVRCP stands for "Audio/Video Remote Control Profile" which allows your phone to act as a remote control
So I was at home wanting to use the usb tethering on my TP2 (RHOD 400) running GBX0* and my laptop with win7x64. I would turn on USB tethering, plug it in, and the phone would just sit there like a bump on a log. Well that was no good. I poked around, and no one had an answer; so I tracked one down.
Seems that Windows 7 needs a driver to make it work right. It need an HTC Remote NDIS driver. I know what you are thinking. Where the heck could I get one of those. Well I have good news, and bad news. The good news is that HTC made one for us already which worked for me. The bad news is that it seems they bundled it in with 150mbs of other un-needed junk.
If you install their HTC Sync application, it will install this driver. I used version HTC Sync 3.2.20 I have not been able to find a stand alone version, for windows 7x64 but it could be out there somewhere...
This software is marked for xp-win7 so it may work with other versions too.
Now to get the tethering to work you have to disable the usb debuging, and then enable the usb tethering. Can't have both it seems. As usb debugging is off line so will be any adb stuff. So you will have to choose what you want more. Also usb tethering and usb storage do not get along either.
The good news is that installing this extra driver does not seem to break adb when tethering is turned off on the phone.
This may work as a solution for other HTC android devices too, as it seems somewhat generic.
As an extra bonus for me I can tether to the interwebs, and access my local wireless nas at the same time. No promises that you will be able to do that though.

I would like to share my solution. I modified the oem.inf file in the oem.zip(attached) ,by changing the manufacturer name and device id as given in the PC 's device manager(unknown device).
It should work for xp,seven,vista.

Does it conflict with ADB or fastboot?
Hi all,
For some time now I've been working on Android-to-Android Tethering, which seems to be pretty difficult without 3rd party apps and/or HW peripherals (such as USB-to-Ethernet converters).
I've been working with a Rooted Samsung Tab Active 2 running Android 7.1.1 and several internet-connected devices: Samsung S8, Samsung S7 and also another Tab Active 2. All devices come with RNDIS support and have "Ethernet configuration" under connection settings.
I managed to get it to work using "EasyTether" with a client app and a server app. BUT, first, I don't like and don't want an app that controls all my networking data. Second, I don't understand how come we haven't yet done it with native Android configurations.
I tried connecting two device via USB cable using a standard USB-C to USB-A to OTG converter to Type-C (or micro-USB-B with the S7).
On the host device (the one with the OTG connector) I enabled USB tethering, but nothing happened. Tried pinging devices, but no dice. still, both devices recognize a connected USB-device and I can see their details using a USB-Diagnostics app.
Tried turning on Rndis as the USB setting - On some cases both Rndis interfaces up and running, with IP addresses, subnets and routes configured, but nothing. Not even a ping between devices. On other cases Rndis would be DOWN, but setting "ifconfig rndis0 up" would do nothing without printing any error.
I believe now that the Rndis drivers present in an Android phone or Tablet contain only the part of the client, while the host part of the driver exists on PCs.
I would appreciate some help with this.
Thanks,
Shedaim
Hi, sorry to reviwe old thread. But did you get anywhere with this? I am looking for a ethernet tether. I got the following adapter https://www.kjell.com/se/produkter/dator/mac-tillbehor/plexgear-multiadapter-for-usb-c-p61629 That worked great meaning it could power the phone at the same time as working as a usb and ethernet adapter. Internet to the phone with cable no problem. The phone (samsung A8) detects the adapter as a eth0. BUT there is no function to "tether with ethernet".... This is super strange that it has not been built in. Have googled it for ages but cant find anything.
