i see the galaxy 3 has usb host functions. will this be able to be ported to the evo 3d? or is this a hardware thing?
It's a hardware limitation. And since the Galaxy S3 is a COMPLETELY different phone from ours, just because it has it doesn't mean it can be ported.

Our SoC supports it but dont know about the micro-USB port.
I've heard that "Olympus Titan HDD" ROM by "AndroidOSX" supports it but dont know if that requires external power.

Does anyone have specs of the Evo 3D processor to determine whether or not this might be possible in the future? My friend has stated that Android 2.3.4 has USB host built into the operating system. However, the hardware has to have that capability.
So does our processor have the capability for USB host mode, and was our micro USB wired to allow it? Anyone know for sure either way?
I'm sorry if this was brought up before, I've actually done an extensive (unsuccessful) search on the topic.
I know you can do this with honeycomb. Wouldnt see why we couldnt do it with the evo. Any devs have any idea
No one know for sure if the hardware is capable? To be honest, I consider that the only definite advantage the SGS2 has right now.
Anyone else unable to get the Galaxy Note to connect to a PC through a USB 3.0 port? If I switch to a USB 2.0 port, it comes up fine.

Haven't tried but my Samsung Infuse used to do the same thing... weird
Solved!

Found the issue - I just built a new desktop which supports faster charging of devices through USB. The specification is Battery Charging BC 1.1. The Galaxy Note does not support this. In fact, it isn't supported by many devices so I disabled it and VOILÀ... USB 3.0 ports see the Galaxy Note.
I'm curious to hear if this is causing your issue as well. The BC 1.1 spec is supported by the iPhone which I'm coming from and you list as one of your devices.
In my case, BC 1.1 is implemented by Asus' AI Charger+ - a function of their AI Suite. It can also be implemented by a stand-alone app called AI Charger.

Hi, could you kindly explain how to go about disabling the BC 1.1. Do i do it within Asus Suite or else where.
Appreciate your help. Thanks

Yes its within the Asus Suite. Bring up the Asus AiSuite application and click on the Tools button. Within the menu popup, select AiCharger+. You'll see enable and disable buttons.
THANK YOU!

Thanks for your post!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was totally buggged about why my USB 3.0 couldn't recognize the media device!
I even called Samsung that my awesome custom rig that Samsung could never put out into market was not recognizing the media device. And they said that they cannot guarantee USB 3.0 connectivity with the phone on a non Samsung computer. LMAO
Its just the AI Charger + LMAO!
Is there ANY way of communicating between my newly purchased arduino and my Galaxy Ace Plus?
It does not support USB Host Mode. Can this be changed some how?
I really need the 2 to communicate for a personal project. I've ordered lots of stuff on the basis that this would work. And now I've discovered it doesn't...
I'm not sure if bluetooth is stable enough - there needs to be a stable communication between each device. Ethernet is not possible because it needs to work outside of a network, out in the open.
Help!
Ideas?
USB host is a hardware supported thing.
Check if your phone's chipset supports USB host in Google.
If it can, someone might need to make a custom kernel to support it if Samsung hasn't enabled it by default.
I don't know why you say Bluetooth is not stable.
Arduino and your phone shouldn't have a problem on Bluetooth

I bought a very cheap BT module from china - £3.99!
Hopefully that should do the trick.. but it means the arduino needs a power supply, which requires either a **** load of AAs or a ****ty 9v battery.
The Ace Plus's chipset is "Qualcomm MSM7227A"
I've tried googling it with USB Host but I get nothing relevant to the problem.
Is Qualcomm MSM7227A with USB Host enabled possible? Could someone find out?
If it is, great! How do I enable it in a kernel?

Qualcomm says that usb host is possible.

It was supported by the Original Ace's chipset too! But Samsung disabled it for some reasons.
Who knows if Samsung did the same to you...

Some of the other chipsets in the USB column say: USB 2.0 High Speed OTG (480Mbps)
What's the diff?
Alright, how do I enable it on my GT S7500?
Please don't direct me into bricking my phone again. It was a total nightmare. Took over a month to be repaired...

Im not sure how to do it.
There are no methods to enable the usb host for the Ace Plus till now.
Maybe Samsung has done something to the motherboard to remove host compatibility like it did to the original Ace.
I would suggest you to stick with the cheap chinese bluetooth for now!
bah. I must bear the idea of using a power supply for my arduino instead of my trusty ace plus.
oh well, hope the bluetooth works!
I'd get a RasPi and a Gertboard. It's more suited to this kind of stuff.

WHAT! The Pi is only $25! Compare that to something similar and you'd end up paying $150. Technically you wouldn't even need the Gertboard, as you can get a breadboard and hook it up to the GPIO ports.

Nope.
The bluetooth module works. £4.
Right now, I'm using an HTC EVO 4G LTE, running ICS. Now the source code is out, however, no one has yet to add USB host capabilities to their kernel, so I figure I might as well do it myself. I read on kernel development, and I have a surface level understanding, but I'm just interested in adding the USB host capabilities. So how would I go about doing that? Thanks.
IIRC ICS should have OTG that works for keyboard and mouse. Of course the microUSB port on your phone needs to have the hardware to support OTG and also may or may not supply power.
Yeah, the hardware on the EVO supports it, it's just that HTC never enables it in their kernel.
Hello guys.
Some Asus motherboards has a feature that can charge phones x3 times faster than the usual charging using B.C 1.1 function.
When I connect my S3 to the USB 3.0 port I get a BSOD!!! Do you know if S3 is compatible with this feature?
Though I don't know if B.C 1.1 function works only with USB 3.0
iPhone supports this
Thanks for your quick reply
ps: re-post the question as i realized that i posted it to wrong forum

I know Note 2 doesn't support B.C 1.1 as it doesnt detect the device for it. Seems the charge current is restricted by the kernel.
So S3 shouldn't be compatible.
But it shouldn't give you a BSOD. Seems something wrong with the driver somewhere. Try updating/reinstalling the AI Suite.
guys I just brought a usb3 cable to try this, if its not compatible why does stweak show usb3 options on the kernel?

No-one said its not compatible with USB 3.0. They said it's not compatible with B.C 1.1
