[Q] Neo V -USB OTG - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

Quick question
Does the Neo V have USB OTG support ??

Yes, if you got the LIVEDOCK.
Armands.

Damn it :/
Can i plug a Micro USB cable and plug in a pendrive directly ??

I think it wont work, but try it...

I'll try and post results ASAP

It normally works, i learnt

I found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aw3H3EzdsrE
Its a arc but it should work on NEO too...
Its N8 otg cable...

But it seems that you can potentially fry your phone if you use for long
Wouldn't risk it xP
Will buy a 16gb card here for $20

Some things will work out of the box (like mouse), you just need one of those cheap microUSB otg adapters. Sony included some drivers in 2.3.4. But for others is trickier, what I understood so far to get pendrives working here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1307503
I still wasn't able, any help is welcome

Well well...
After 5 houers testing and building otg cable my neo accepted only keyboard.
Wireless mous recognized too, but didn't work.
Tested external 2,5" HDD but no luck..tryed external power but only unregionized device.
Then web cam..nothing.
Usb hub OK.
Camera Pentax...unsupported.
Another phone...tomorrow i will test.
And mouse i will test another simply.
Card reader didnt worked.
Charge function working
And whats cool. If you phone battery is less than 4V....But via usb otg you get already nice 5V. Charging another phone or external speakers (i had xMini) will be ok.
Dock i dont had.
Tomorrow will test more devices.

I just got my Neo so now offically moving to the Neo forum from the mini forum ..
OTG (with generic $2 OTG cable from Hongkong) works fine with keyboard and mouse, after rooting device and installing "OTG for Arc" from Market it now recognises USB thumb drives too (tested with 4Gig Sandisk Cruser edge).. I then plugged keyboard/mouse (Logitech wireless) and thumbdrive into a USB hub and it all works..I'm yet to try a larger external drive but with a powered hub I don't see why it wouldn't work. the OTG Arc software is a couple of $$ but worth it for the ability to drag files of a thumb drive.

Thanks kiwiBratwurst :
It worked xD
Connected a 2GB USB drive and it works fine xD
Thanks for all your replies hommies

This and other OTG apps not need root!

When I plug in that cable into Neo should I get some kind of confirmation that it's working? I saw some YT movies that showed a popup saying: "USB host cable connected". it's it the same here?

Without "USBOTG Storage manager for Arc" program, you can use only keyboard and mouse! With USBOTG Stotage manger, wen you plug-in supported USB memory stick or external HDD, notice appers on nottification bar (USB application icon appers). Not all USB sticks ar compatible!

On market! "USBOTG Storage manager for Arc" is paid app, you can find more free apps, but for me, only this works!

Connecting Touchpad to Windows 7 via Bluetooth

I spent some time searching for an answer but couldn't find one.
I am trying to connect my Touchpad with latest build CM9 to my Windows 7 (64Bits) laptop.
I can pair the TP successfully but when Windows starts searching and installing drivers I get the "No driver found"
The reason I want this feature is because I would like to be able to play audio through my laptop without using a cable like I have now (headphones OUT from TP to line input IN on Laptop.
Let me know if I need to manually install the drivers or if there is another workaround.
Thank you in advance,
Zeek
I have always used Wifi to accomplish this... there are tonnes of market apps which will do this. I use VLC Direct the most.

What I am trying to achieved here is to stream the touchpad audio from different apps/sources (Touchpad main audio)
For example I listen to podcasts on BeyondPod, also watch news on multiple news apps, listen to music from different app sources too.
If I could pair the touchpad successfully and transmit the full audio from the TP to my Laptop, it would be the easiest since I wouldn't have to open any additional app or windows player to start streaming but to get in range to connect via bluetooth.
I think TP has not enough driver to stream audio over bluetooth it only can transfer files between pc and TP though i dont have Bluetooth in my pc i havent try it.
okay
got it... i understand... now to go home and get my TP

The Touchpad booted into either Webos or Android can easily stream music via Bluetooth. I have used a Logitech Bluetooth audio receiver and a belkin one to stream music directly to my hi-fi without any problems. Here is a link to the Logitech one which costs £26 the Belkin is £15 .

Good news!
Looks like I got the answer to my own thread...
The touchpad bluetooth drivers coudn't get installed (look at my first screenshot- first post) because I only had installed the standard Microsoft bluetooth drivers.
The way I got the TP successfuly connected via bluetooth was by downloading (in my case) the Dell Wireless 370 bluetooth drivers and installing them to overwrite the MS ones.
After installing the dell drivers I tried to pair the TP with Windows 7 again and got most of the drivers installed (screenshot attached)
In order to play the audio from the TP to your PC after the Bluetooth pairing proccess, just double click on the paired TP on windows and click CONNECT "Music and Audio", that's it!!

Yup, as soon as i got home i tried my touchpad and it worked 100%... not as cool as pairing the phone and sending sms or receiving calls though.

[Sola][Q] Suunto Movestick Mini compatible?

Hi gang, have thrown 40USD on the bet that our ICS Xperia Sola will support the USB Ant+ dongle, Suunto Movestick Mini. I've got an OTG cable for the Nexus 7 on its way to link the dongle to the Sola. Think it'll work out of the box, if not any suggestions for enabling USB Host mode in Android? Thanks for your time.
Oh I plan to use this for cycling to link up to my ANT+ heart monitor and other gear.
Sent from my MT27i using xda premium
Worked a treat, connected USB micro male to Xperia Sola and USB standard female to Suunto Movestick Mini cable. Had prior installed ANT+ Service and ANT+ Radio via Play Market and after I connected the device a prompt asked if I wanted to enable the ANT+ Service automatically in the future. Fired up ANT+ Test and ANT+ Bike and the radio is working!
Now to get some ANT+ gear starting with cadence/speed then finally heart rate monitor. Will upload pic.

Hi, I'm trying to do the same thing you are using the Suunto movestick mini ANT+ Dongle and the micro usb to usb adapter. I have it all hooked up, have the ANT+ Radio service installed and the ANT+ Demo and I can't seem to get the radio working. The ANT+ Demo app just has "ANT not supported" at the bottom of the screen. I'm trying to do it on my Motorola Atrix running an AOKP JB ROM but have tried it on my Stock LG Optimus G too and neither have worked. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

[Q] USB hub + OTG + tablet problem

Hi,
i have a Cube U23GT tablet. It supports OTG. The tablet can be charged only trough DC in with an adaptor, so not trough usb port. I have an OTG cable, and if i plug with that a mouse in, or keyboard, it works perfectly. I saw on youtube some videos where people connected mouse and keyboard at the same time to their tablets, for example: youtube.com/watch?v=benblX95ORM
So as i saw this video i thinked: all i need is an USB HUB, i bought one: logilink.eu/showproduct/UA0138.htm?seticlanguage=en
I plugged the HUB in trough OTG and the result was: the LED of the hub lights are on, but then, when i try to plug the mouse OR (not just "AND") the keyboard, it wont work. The infra of the mouse is lights too but the tablet dont detect it, i cant use it.
So can you tell me what can be the problem? Its not a powered HUB i know, but on the videos that i saw (for example what i linked here) arent powered hubs too, and works.
If you can, please help me, thanks!
anybody?

[Lite] No audio through USB?

Looking around forums and internets, I've only seen people having problems with the USB-C -> MiniJack dongle or BT -> Car audio on Pro, but I can't find anything related to Lite not pushing audio through USB. What I'm trying to do here is to connect my phone to my car's head unit (this one: https://www.pioneer-car.eu/eur/products/mvh-190ub) via USB to play music, and it doesn't work. Had no issues like this on my previous phone (LG G5). Both run on Android 7.0, FYI.
After granting access to storage EVERY TIME (because an option to "remember this choice for this device" would be too convenient I guess...?) to the HU, they both seem to 'see' each other, the audio is playing but the HU is not receiving any audio. At least that's what I assume is happening, since the HU has a basic spectrum visualiser which doesn't move with my Lite connected to it. I can do the simple things like pause/play, next/previous track by using HU's controls, but the audio is not coming through. I tried Spotify, stock music player and Youtube. Nothing. I did not try things like call audio, since this is not my priority here. I also tried disabling USB audio routing in Dev options. Not entirely sure how was that supposed to help, but it didn't.
And yes I still can use the jack to play music (which I do, since I have no choice right now), but the audio is significantly quieter and just lower quality in general when compared to USB.
Anyone having a similar issue? Any ideas what could be the cause?
On the Mate 10 Pro, I use lots of things in the car but all on Bluetooth. I assume the Mate 10 Lite has the same battery manager as the Mate 10 Pro?
Where you can set individual apps/processes to auto (default) battery management vs. Manual (non default)?
By turning items I was using to Manual that were not working as expected I stopped experiencing problems.
Hope this is helpful.

No dice. That said, why would battery optimisation even matter if HU's actively charging the phone?

It does and it asks if to grant accessory permissions to read data. Right after that, a popup shows saying that the phone's missing HU manufactuter's companion app (which I tried, it's terrible and doesn't help with my issue) is not installed. Did some more digging and it turns out my phone correctly switches to "audio source" USB mode. What's kinda funny is that after I connect the phone to the HU, a notification from OS shows up in the notification bar "Connected to a USB accessory. Touch for other USB options". When I try tapping on it, nothing happens. I assume some other menu should show up...?

Sounds like a compatibility issue. Quickest fix would be to use USB to aux adapter into stereo. Is that an option?
There might be a fix out there for this issue, but with Chinese phones your best bet is likely to find a workaround.
Also, have you tried other USB cables? Oem cable?

USB -> Aux adapter is technically an option, but that would be a big nuisance since I use a magnetic USB cable, and I'd had to remove the mag connector from the phone and plug in the adapter every time I get into the car. And I kinda bought the magnetic cable for the purpose of NOT plugging and unplugging cables to/from the phone all the time.
Tried 3 cables so far. OEM, 3rd party normal and 3rd party magnetic. Right now I'm onto updating my HU's firmware, since an update is available, worth a try.

Hi,
Did you try it with Dex mode?
I'm asking because I bought one usb c to hdmi hub and It does not work.
When the hdmi is plugged to the external monitor, and I launch Dex mode, there is a message saying that dex mode can't be launch with an external monitor.
One more information, It works perfectly in mirroring mode on the external monitor.
The regular Samsung dex pad works well for this since you can charge the tablet while outputting to an external monitor at the same time. Had one lying around that I got from Samsung with a S9 and it sure works with both the Note 9 and the Tab S4. Note 9 does 2560x1440 but Tab S4 only does 1920x1080 though. Sadly neither do 21:9 which would be ideal since I have a 34" ultrawide. The GPUs on both can def. output 3440x1440 , just need Samsung to add support for it.

I've found that Dex mode on external monitor doesn't work when the Tablet is in Dex mode, the Tablet has to be in Tablet mode to use Dex mode on external monitor. Put your Tablet in Dex mode and check your Settings > Samsung Dex > Auto start when HDMI is connected > turn on. Then put your Tablet back into Tablet mode and connect the HDMI cable and you should get Dex mode on external monitor. If you can get Screen Mirroring to work, Dex mode should work too, with this setting on.

Spewen.
I'm not using a Samsung Cable/HDMI adapter.
Maybe look into what HDMI version the Tablet/Adapter/Display support. If the tablet uses HDMI 2.0 but your adapter or display only support HDMI 1.2 then that could be your problem.
I got this one: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B075V5JK36/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Im on the hunt for a Hub at this time as well..... looking for one THATWORKS with HDMI/Ethernet/Passthrough/USB. Think im going to go to Best Buy and ask them to try them out for me there! They carry the J5 Create line and some apple product versions.
Did you find a hub that works?
I did actually:
