Its posible to manage this together? Some file manager or commander?
Yes with the archos's filemanger
How?
With one memory stick in 3G slot & one memory stick in USB host its just one USB position in file manager.
I hawe there Internal , SD card , Network , USB( just -one)
the 3g connector is ON ?
Yes
Yes.
Wait,
i testing that this afternoon
you have
1 key usb on 3g connector
1 key usb on usb host
the filemanager viewing the usb host when the archos boot
after if you put 3g connector to on you view the another key...
i send a mail to the R&D for more informations
Thank You
Thank You
it is not possible
now and in the future
I have a micro SD card in the SD slot and also have another micro SD card in a USB reader in the 3g slot, they work perfect together. I just have to remember to turn on the 3g setting when I want to access the card. I hope that made sense...... i'll try and upload some pics later.

with micro SD and 3g connector it is ok
but here it is 3g connector and usb key on cable host
I see what you mean. If you plug an flash drive into the 3g port, it'll show up as a USB drive. But then if you plug another USB drive into the host port on the side, it disconnects the first one and starts using the new one. It's unable to recognize both at the same time. Since I've got a hard drive version I don't know exactly how the flash ones work. Maybe they have an extra bit of code that allows them more then one external storage medium so that the flash card can work in parallel to the already built in memory. But as far as I can see, there is no way to for it to see both USB devices at the same time.
yes the filemanager see on external USB !

So I would not be able to transfer files directly from a CF card reader to an external hard drive, using the archos G9 as a pass through? I'd have to transfer the files from the card reader to internal hd, then from the internal to the external?
Thanks for the help.

hi,
do you know some modem, which could be connected through usb port on HTC Topaz? i have one sim card, which I use for internet, but I don't want to change the sim cards very often. it's a pitty, topaz is not dual simm phone..
thanks for any advice!
You can not do it anyway. Absolutly. Because Topaz has no USB HOST. You can not connect any USB Slave device to Topaz because it is the USB Slave too. Only pair of USB Slave and USB Host can works, but not Slave-Slave/Host-Host.
thanks for the information. so is there any way, how to use the other sim card only for internet?
e.g. some kind of sim card reader, or other extension?

Your problem (even if the USB port could be configured as a host) would be drivers and I know of no such work around.
The USB port will function only as configured by the manufacturer and this is limited to phone and mass storage configuration at this time.
Addendum -
You have me wondering what would happen if you plug in a broadband dongle to the USB port so, as I have the equipment, I will try it and see what happens when I have a moment spare!
There are adapters that you can use to use two sim-cards in one slot. Don't know how they work as I haven't used any.
Just google "dual sim adapter".
As per the heading, I abandoned carrying a USB memory stick years ago, instead I have a 16GB memory card in my phone and carry a 15CM micro USB to USB cable in my pocket, this way I can use my phone as a USB drive when ever I need it, but I have a problem with my SGS 2
1) the drive seems to randomly disconnect itself whether or not it is transferring data
2) the option to ask me what I want to do every time I connect my USB cable is missing, forcing me to go to settings--> wireless and networks---> USB utilities, just to use my phone as a USB drive ....... VERY IRRITATING
does anybody else use this feature, if so what are your findings ?
I have a similar problem, it will disconnect randomly but also when trying to update and some times when trying to transfer files. I do however get the option to view files pop up when I plug it in. I made a post earlier but no one replied, hopefully it can be fixed easily. I wouldn't really know where to start though

Um, there must be something wrong with your phone. I have not done anything special to use my SGS2 as a USB drive. It's litterally plug it in and away you go.
I just plug it into the computer, the phone says something like MTB in progress, Kies connection or whatever.
Then I get the option to view all files and folders in My Computer (windows 7).
No problems whatsoever.

I don't normally use the "MTB in progress" version as the majority of computers I plug it into do not have kies loaded.
I use the standard USB drive option in settings

Hi,
i dont have any USB connection issues, loaded my 32Gb SD and the internal Storage full and i do use a lot the Mass Storage funktion, somtetimes the connection lasts for hours, so (Win7 32Bit).
Totally agree, the settings--> wireless and networks---> USB utilities ... tapping is verry annoying. Have to do this many times a day
Maybe someone knows an solution how to set the "Mass Storage" connection as an default?
Greetz Tokl
try multimount off the market.
You need to enable usb debugging (to prevent the keis rubish launching).
then anytime you want mass storage mode, click the multimount widget.
-- Actually just enabling USB debugging seems to set mass storage mode as default.
I have the same problem but I think it's the problem of the USB port on your PC. I plug the phone in another port and everything is ok now. You can try this on another PC or another port and you'll see. Hope this helps

1) Doesn't happen on mine. Have you tried using USB ports on other computers as it could be due to a particular USB port on a particular computer doesn't supply enough current?
2) It's irritating.

So you don't have a usb icon in the notification area? Otherwise, you just have to select it to enable usb storage.

USB Debugging prevents Kies and bring up the Mass Storage directly
One more (very small, but annoying) issue of the SGS2 solved
Greetz Tokl
When I enable debugging mode, I does indeed turn on mass storage mode and it works. However, every time I unplug the phone it reboots. I do press the disconnect USB drive button and I do eject it on my PC. It still crashes. Does anyone else have this problem?

This happened to me today, and the reason was the Android browser application running in background. Using the task manager I killed browser and then I faced no problem thereafter.
So, to sum up I guess an application running in background might be the reason.
Hope this helps somebody...
It's funny you should say that, as I hardly ever get that problem anymore, and I mostly use dolphin hd browser now

I can't do it now for some reason.
I have it set to Default Connection Type to Disk Drive and I have a check mark on Ask me about USB connection type whenever I connect my tablet to a PC.
When I go to my computer I see 3 removable drives and my flyer is charging too, but I can't transfer files into it!!

Anyone know why? Please save me!
Thing is.. I was able to do it yesterday and pardon my Korean fonts.

Ok. So I was playing around with my device and came across some posts like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1450298 and those have helped me to connect a USB pen drive to my Jetstream successfully.
These are what are required:
1. You need to edit (with Root permisions, in write mode using Root Explorer), the build.prop file in the /system folder and enable USB host more - can be found towards the end of the file
2. You need a USB OTG cable (i.e. a micro USB to USB female) cable along with a USB Y cable (i.e. a cable with 2 male USB ports at one end and a single female port at the other end)
3. A USB enabled charger
So, 1st the USB OTG cable is connected to the device, next 1 male component of the USB Y cable goes to this USB OTG cable and the other male component to the USB charger. The pen drive goes in the female end of the USB Y cable.
That is it. You can go to the storage section of the Settings and check it out. It will show the availability of external USB drive. All data on the USB drive will appear in the USB folder under sdcard.
I did not have a USB charger so used a computer in its place and it works absolutely fine. Will get myself a charger, retest and confirm once again.
Did try using an external hard disk with an external power source but wasn't able to get it to work.
To confirm that the device is detected, etc I used USB Host Controller from the Market. It displays both the pen drive as well as the hard disk. However, unable to mount the hard disk don't know why.
In theory, it should be possible as per the above post to connect an externally powered USB hub in the similar manner and get it to work. I don't have that either. So perhaps someone with it could test it out.
Will post screen shots by tomorrow morning. Late now - past midnight.
Hope it is helpful.
Edit - All thanks to sztupy and others at the above post who gave the idea and I just tried it and got it working.
Edit 2 - Screenshots attached.

I tried the external hard disk again. Same result. USB Host controller detects the hardware but unable to mount it.
Also, even in the settings, storage option, the mount usb option is usuable but it doens't mount the hard disk.
Using a Segate 1TB external hard disk with external power source. Perhaps the size too big or may be the NTFS format not supported? Pen drive is in FAT32 and works well. So that may be the problem.
Did anyone else try this out?
NTFS support

Had already tried it but didn't work. Thanks anyways. Will see for some other solution.
Tried a pen drive formatted as NTFS but doesn't work for that either. So the problem is with NTFS format. Have tried Drive Mount and USB Host controller Apps which both claim to be able to mount NTFS drives but no progress. USB MAss Storage OTG is another software however, it needs a kernel with usm enabled. I got the apk and tried installing it-it installs but force closes there after.
Got another software though from another post in XDA itself - called NTFS mount - similar to drive mount. It mounts an NTFS pen drive however force closes while trying to mount an external hard disk (1TB). Post is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13337600
Tried with the 1.2 version and it mounts the external hard disk as well without force closing!
so now have got it to read and write from any external hard disk without any problem! This is great!

I think my tablet is already enabled for USB host mode. When I checked the build.prop file, it shows
ro.usb_host = 1
This means it is activated right?

Could you please tell me what and exactly how you are doing so that I may be able to help you out?
Attached is a picture from the thread I mentioned earlier on. I use the 2nd setup. May be this will be of help in case the connections aren't done right. Also, make sure that all connections are made, with the power put on before you connect the entire setup to the USB OTG cable and then to the tablet's port.
Could you share which hub you are using that has a mini USB connector?
Also, I'm trying to connect a 120GB HDD and I guess this might be too big? What is the larger capacity drive you have been able to connect?
Lastly, does a larger drive take longer to connect/display and thus I should wait longer? If so, how long does it usually take?

So i just picked up one of these PNY 16Gb Micro USB OTG flash drives.. Tested it out on my Nvidia Shield, which works great.. Then I go to pop it into my Nexus 9 and basically nothing happens. It fails to give any notification in any form, the storage menu in settings fails to see the device. I used all of the top 5 File managers, but none of them show that the device even exists.
**EDIT** I just got home and tried all of my flash drives I have connected via USB OTG, (4Gb-128Gb) NONE OF THEM are recognized! Is there a setting somewhere I am missing, or are others having this problem too?
My nexus 9 is rooted and running the latest Elementalx 0.08 Kernel.
Any help for a work around or potential fix would be most appreciated
I tried both a USB Keyboard, and mouse. Again they work perfectly. So it appears it only relates to USB mass storage?
I'm able to connect my phone to the nexus 9 and it's able to read it.
I bought a micro usb y cable. So I can charge it while having it connected to a hub. But it doesn't charge at all.

I just connected mine, the phone goes into mass storage mode and starts charging.. The Nexus 9 basically doesn't do a damn thing. Check 3 different file managers and none of them show any removable storage.
Can you plug in a standard USB stick with the Cable, and it will work?

Use Es file explorer, it will recognise it within the app on local. If you are root stickmount will also work by mounting the drive as a folder.
