External usb harddrive? - Motorola Photon 4G

Is there any way to access an external usb harddrive using the motorola photon?
Model : MB855. Android version : 2.3.4. Kernel : 2.6.32.9. [email protected] #2
Phone is rooted.
Thanks
P.S - i am not talking about a flash drive. I enquire about external usb connected harddrive. Again, thank you.

Laptop or desktop, hook phone up as hard drive to USB, hook flash drive up to another USB port. Click start, then my computer. Drag and drop as you please! I for this on the regular to clean crap up!

Yea, i know that, i'm asking if theres any way possible to access the drive by usb cable between drive and phone, without the computer. It's really not that far fetched, would it be possible to mount the drive with root explorer or something like that?

Short answer, no. We don't have OTG USB support on Photon.

The OP has posted this exact question across multiple sites only minutes apart.

Hi Lokifish,
This time let me answer the question and please correct me if I am wrong.
MoPho has OTG support from the very first Stock ROM (either from US Sprint or JP AU) in order to feature the WebTop Docking (so the docking can "magically" make MoPho support USB Keyboard, Mouse, etc.)
For simplicity, what you need are a Micro-USB OTG cable + a powered USB Hubs (as MoPho have NO power output for signalling the connection to the USB devices).
Hope this can help.

Replace my prime with this.

Hey it works out of the box. No tweaking required and is not full of false advertising.

Put an ice cream sandwich on it and see if it runs faster!!!
Can we get an "Asshat" section setup to this forum and move some of these threads there?
Have you tried stripping one end of a extension cord and wiring it up to your device, see if you can get some more juice to it and overlock!! Also you may also consider adding a hamster + wheel for extra umph.
I know huh...I had to reply with that comment, couldn't help myself....we should have a TFP BS Thread section......would be at least a place for many laughs.
Is that 32geebees?

No this one is latest model it has 128 geebees. No GPS though
yes but does it come in purple? I mean metallic grey?
If you take 20+ steps away, is the text still readable?
does it have a search option? if not maybe you need more geebees xD
is it faster than the overclocked HP touchpad a fellow member put a video up comparing Prime to? we all know how fast that thing is
Hey, and its already rooted! You can access all the files!
I needed this thread, I really did.

Really wish the Mods would start deleting these pointless threads.
Come on everyone lighten up a little. Be happy! Enjoy the comedy don't take life so seriously.
BTW: I have root access right out of the box and no encrypted bootloader. The nice thing about it is I can change the Rolodex cards to any style and color I want and I still get my warranty
I agree, among all this turmoil we can use some clowning.
*coughs* so.. Handwriting recognition is great, too!
The best part is that you don't have to buy a stylus! It also works with a BIC Pen! Now that's what i called backward compatibility.

USB Host?

Hey I just got my Galaxy Note today. I thought this thing was supposed to have USB host? I just plugged in my USB host adapter that I got with my old Nokia N810 but it doesn't seem to be working.

It does have a USB host built in. I've used it for dslr controller and USB thumb drives. I don't recall needing to change things to get it to work. I did get an OTG cable for it. Not sure if the cable type matters or not.
Anyone? I really hope my Note isn't defective.
Works great for me. I got this cable on ebay for $2.39 shipped (cheapest I could find shipping from US) and it works without having to do anything. I've plugged in flash drives and my logitech vx nano mouse.
Well I've tried every one of these USB Devices that all work on my computer but can't get them to work with my Note

Sorry, I just noticed I forgot the link. Here it is:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/270914513680?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
I'd say either your cable's not the right kind, or your phone's defective.
Works great on mine.
I just got some cheap one off of Amazon
Works on mine. ATT phone. Cheap cable off eBay or Amazon.
All I've done is read flash drives. Does not work on SD card reader
The trick may be where you look for the files.
Its in mnt /sdcard /usbstorage

UPDATE .. depends what one is attempting.
Does Not work with a keyboard, for me.
It sees the KB but input does nothing.
Bummer.
Which version of the note are you using?
It appears that some carriers have disabled usb host features.
See usbhost.chainfire.eu and look up your phone model.
I was annoyed to see my rogers phone had the feature disabled.

Any work around to this yet?
My note is also from Rogers, and this was one of the features I was looking forward to.
If that is the issue, flashing a Rom may work...

Maybe you can enable it thru build prop?. Ill look around in that folder for anything related to usb?..hmm
I flashed to the OnlyOne [ICS] ROM and no luck with my phone (Rogers i717r).
Don't know if it's the cable so I've ordered a new one and hoping the actual phone won't need service (though the usb port seems functional in terms of transmitting data and power).
Can it be something other than the ROM and cable (i.e. kernal, drivers, apk -- I'm talking out of my ass here as I have no idea how these things work).
Thanks for your help
Got a new cable and it works with the Only One ICS rom. Another post in the forum suggests all ICS updates should work.

yeah man, i had to use a magnifying glass to see the serial of the wifi card and the touchscreen, anyway, i believe the only thing that limits the CWM is the hardware and i have the id, i just need someone to confirm it.

Do you have the model number of the modem?
Ive also had this problem in the past with a modem which worked as an Ethernet device under original Klyde rom but then not at all using Malaysk roms
Ive since swapped to another modem.
This was my latest one from ebay which works fine in 3g
"New ZTE K3571Z Internet 3G Broadband USB Modem"
I paid $6.99au

I'm sorry for I'm new to this forum and this android world, therefore, it is hard for me to get along here.
for your question I did search for it but not found.
also, from all the head unit forums, this seemed the most suitable one because it is a software problem.
I would like to know wether there's a thread for the most suitable forum to write to I could use.
thank you very much for everything

by the way - still after installing the software you advised, the 3g modem was not recognized
The link I posted goes to the discussion on modems that work and those that don't.. Have a look at it and post it here as there are some good minds that have already been through what you are facing.. Good luck getting it going.

I'm having the same issues with a K5150 3G/4G modem. Before it was supported as an ethernet device and now it is not detected anymore. Any fix for this?
Thanks.
my device is in the list. it's from ebay it doesn't have a brand name. just says "HSPDA"

I have had one of these that worked for my head unit, but it broke so i ordered another one.
the difference between the working one to the other one is the firmware on the 3g device itself. when i insert it to the PC the program of the 3g modem pops on and they dont have the same program.
is there maybe a way to update the firmware of the 3g device?

Yours is the Huawei E1750 as far as I can tell which is what I have and is even advertised and sold by Eonon. Mine doesn't work with stock Eonon or Malaysk. It occasionally shows the signal triangle (empty) but nada.
EDIT: I've now ordered a OTG adapter with the extra USB power input (plus a micro B female to A male as they're meant for phones) and hopefully that'll do the trick. Power seems an issue and with a 1 m cable whatever power it gets is even less. I suspect that's why neither my tablet nor this unit can detect it whereas my laptop uses it just fine.

Wifi/Bluetooth issues

Hi.
I am writing from Tabpro S with Remix OS 3.0.207... No wifi and no sound.
For networking I use a USB-C to USB A adapter to plug the Apple USB Ethernet. Works well
As soon as Remix OS works on TabPro S I will probably spend more time onj it than Windows 10 !
I love it becauase it's light and really fast. And I am a fan of Android.
Voilà ! :laugh:
So the Ethernet cable has to stay plugged in? What about the Bluetooth and audio any work around for that?
