Hi All,
Just got an old xda form a friend,it it possible to modify it and add an internal usb port instead of cradle or the normal connections cable?
Best Regard
Already seen a photo here in the forum, where a user installed a common USB-Port. But why not using the original connecor?
Stefan
my son has a VPA V with usb port ,I would like to have one cable to use everywhere.
can you send me the link for the pic you saw?

Hi,
Anyone know how to connect bluetooth to
O2 XDA? Thanks.
Bluetooth usb adaptor F8T001
Use bluetooth usb adaptor F8T001.
The XDA can only be hooked up as USB slave. Meaning it can only talk to a computer, not to peripherals, such as bluetooth adapters.
What?
That BlueTooth adapter is for adding Bluetooth to a computer with a USB port. That is the Belkin adapter.
That wont work.
IF someone has seen something... Id like to know... but as far as I know its not possible considering the SD slot does not support SD/IO and a serial implementation would be bulky. Furthermore the USB sync connection does not offer USB host which is what is needed to use USB devices. To my knowledge there is only one or two Pocket PCs that have this. The toshiba and one of the Cassiopeias.
BeDammit
YellowTab... the ressurection of BeOS
long usb sync connection
No bluetooth on Xda.
Only option is to use a very long usb sync connection?
bluetooth with usb port?
Hi,
Anyone know if there is such thing as a bluetooth with usb port?
Thank you.
Yes, but it would not help you since the device can only talk to USB-equipped computers, not to USB devices. To use BDSM terminology, it's a 'slave' and not a 'master', and doesn't like reverse roleplay.
I am lost here
I just dont understand why there is no way to use bluetooth on Xda
since you can use a usb sync cable or infrared to synchronised the
xda & desktop pc. Can there be a blue tooth unit at the end of the
usb sync cable that hook up to xda to received the signal from the bluetooth adaptor that connect to the desktop pc usb port. I thought
it is like just cutting the usb sync cable and using sort of wireless
medium to joint their ends. I understand a little bit about xda being a slave device etc but dont understand the part that you cannot use
sort of connections or adaptors etc to transmit signal? Maybe those
guys from bluetooth,SIG, will look into this area. So far as I know
they only have bluetooth to connect pc to printer and keyboard.
Seems like they say something like the OS of xda will not accept
bluetooth etc.. Hope you experts can enlightened me. Thank you.
Yeah, no problem! Go stick a Blutooth adapter on the end of a USB cable........then come back and let us know when you have paired the two devices up.
Hi everybody,
I´m new in here, so please forgive me when I'm asking stupid questions or anything
several things I found out so far :
first of all, of course there is a difference between a USB host and a USB device, as BeDammit pointed out correctly above. To use USB devices, the XDA would need host function instead of its built-in USB slave used for synchronisation. Generally speaking, there are just a few devices offering both host and slave function, since there are only a few USB chips offering both (for the developers: Philips has just launched some new of these chips).
For PDAs with Compact Flash, there is a new solution, which you can check out here : http://www.ratocsystems.com/english/products/subpages/cfu1u.html
(If they'd only had a SD version... :? )
Nevertheless, a synchronisation via bluetooth should still be possible since xda would only be a slave. There are some guys here in Germany offering Bluetooth Headsets via ebay, article number is 3329163765. On this auction's site they say : "don`t keep telling us your xda has no bluetooth; we know that. Therefore you will be delivered an additional bluetooth adaptor " (sic!)
I have not gone further to this so far, for actually I don't have my xda yet... 8) , but maybe this helped you a little further...
<half an hour later : >
I got it ! I got it ! It's made by Toshiba, but compatible. Check it out here :

Interesting
Anyone care to look more closely into this product and give us some feedback? Unfortunately I don't have the skills to do such a thing.
Cheers!
XDAs do not support SDIO cards, only SD memory cards...
(And doing a search in older messages would have revealed this same answer, only about 50 times...)
I have heaRD THAT o2 MAY BE RELEASING AN xda with triband and 64Mb ROM c/w bluetooth. A dealer told me but no word on the net. The XDA 64i apparently.
Anyone else heard that?
E-Ten P700
Yes, I got a reply from the supplier E-Ten who told
me The new device with bluetooth will be call E-Ten P700.
It is similar to O2xda just like their older version P600 series
but this one will have bluetooth. Their P610 has wifi 802.11b.
But the new P700 will only be release Q3. Most probably O2xda
new release might be around the same time. Cheers
Can I connect my portable hard disk (USB) to my HTC GENE.
I think this is because of HTC GENE itself dont have USB host.
Anyone knows any adapter which converts SD card to USB host (Female)
When I searched for that I got the adapter with Flash card.
on http://www.ratocsystems.com/english/products/CFU1U.html
Please help If anyone knows any other way.
Thanks in advance.
i dont think u have ne other options
Yes, apart from using an addon adapter, there is no option. Coz the miniUSB port that we have is not a host port, only a host port can get client devices connected. addon adapters provide that.
Thanks for the help

Did it work before you flashed angelrom?
i didnt try it before my friend....today i bought the converter from micro usb to usb......so...is there any service that maybe did not is enable in the custom rom....and cant run the usb host....
It's unlikely that it's the ROM, as this is a feature that many people use.
It may be that what you are trying to use simply doesn't work. Do you have a USB mouse you could try? Also, is the device that you are connecting powered, or does it expect power from the USB connection?
well...i connect 3 devices... a keyboard...a mouse...and a usb strage stick....
and no led...power on...of the devices
In that case, I suggest you ask on the thread where you got the ROM. Have you already searched that thread to see if anyone else has the same problem?
i did a quick search...but i didnt find anything important...well ok my friend thx....

don't bother checking with more devices or posting in the rom thread, you just bought the wrong cable for otg purposes.
a simple converter from micro usb to usb won't do, the sgs2 discovers connected devices by the resistor between pin 4 and 5 of the micro usb plug inserted, and afaik, a usb otg cable needs a 200k resistor (if you decide to weld one in yourself, double check the number against other threads, i am not sure about that). simple converters, adapters and even some "usb otg" marked cables don't have a resistor in there.
and if the correct resistor is present in the plug, the device should discover the cable when plugged in, and then you can connect any device afterwards and get another notification. (as is seen in the usb otg video in the accessories section.)
i hope you did not pay too much on that cable, or have the possibility to return it for a refund or exchange, because yours has little to no known uses.
Thanks Chef, I didn't know that. That's the "something new" that I learnt today
thx my friend..i give 4 euro for this ****...but its ok....
i m gonna buy....this one of nokia cable....its ok i thing right... ??? http://europe.nokia.com/find-produc...cables/nokia-adapter-cable-for-usb-otg-ca-157
I recently purchased the note from att and my wife bought me a few accessories from amazon. One of the accessories that came in the bundle was a usb host mode cable. I've googled for answers but couldn't find anything with details for what its for. Im not new to android and rooting, as Ive owned a few devices over the years and last one being the galaxy s2 on sprint. If anyone can explain to me whats the use for the host cable it would be greatly appreciated. Thanx in advance.
BTW I love the galaxy note!!! I sold my iPhone 4S to get it and Im happy I made the switch!!
It's for use with USB drives and other USB devices that require USB host to use.

For what purposes?
You can plug in a thumb drive to the cable and it will mount on your phone. You can also use usb keyboards/mice if you are so inclined.
I carry a cable so if anyone wants to pass me a large file I just plug in my device.

I use it mostly to run this: DSLR Controller.
It's also nice to be able to connect USB thumb drives to move files back and forth.
when I plug in my usb cable I don't get access to my sd card. Am I doing something wrong
Had a brain fart...
I figured it out

i just bought a micro to usb female but my phone wont recognize the usb drive i plug in
I think the cable you want is called an OTG cable, not just a micro USB to female USB.

What about Ethernet? There are USB-to-Ethernet converters and the Linux kernel likely supports them, I am rooted so I can run netcfg usb0 dhcp for sure. Is there a reason why this wouldn't work...?

You can use it for UOTG, USB on the GO. You can plug the micro usb to the phone and plug a USB flash drive. Go into a file explorer and look for a folder called usbStorage. You will be able to access the flash drive through that folder.
FYI, make sure that USB debugging is disabled other you will not see anything in the folder.
This is perfect for transferring files from USB or other media into the phone. I use it with my Canon S100 and transfer pics directly from the media card.

I recently broke the USB port on my X10. It's an internal damage and the engineer who worked on my phone told me that I have screwed up the internal tracks (the tiny copper tracks on the PCB). He managed to fix the Charging issue and the X10 now charges off the Mains/USB but I can no longer access USB from my computer. So all USB Functions (Mass Storage, Flashing, Tethering) are out of scope now.
I asked him if this could be fixed and he told me that the only way out is to change the PCB. Is there any alternate way out? Help me!
ps: I heard that WiFiDirect file transfer is available on the Xperia S, Can it be ported to the X10? Do any of the ported ROMs (e.g. X10s by championswimmer) have this feature?
