Hi,
I've got myself new HP touch pad with Web OS. Now I need to connect my External HD/ Pen drive / Wireless Data card to TP. I've got myself USB hub, which is powered externally. So I connected the data cable (Micro) provided with the TP to the Hub and I connected my External HD to Hub but I couldn't detect the HD in TP.
So could any one please help me with the steps/ Procedure.
P.S I'm not using any Laptop, Do i need one to establish this type of USB connection
Thanks

You need to get power to it. There's a thread about this here somewhere.... search should turn it up.
This thread shows you how to get it working in Android/CM9. I never tried it from within WebOS.

I want to mount a USB storage(such as portable hard drive,USB flash disk, or card reader), does it possible? And if is's possible, how to achieve it?
You need a USB powered hub in order for it to work..unless your running it thru the lapdock.. in which case it (the USB hard drive) needs to be formatted in FAT32.

Can you be more specific? Why do you need a hub?
Doesn't the HD multimedia dock have usb ports for this purpose?

Atrix can't feed external devices. You must give power for external USB devices from USB Hub.

So even using the HD Multimedia dock, I need to supply power to USB devices by way of a hub?
I'm wondering if I can simply connect a USB card reader to the HD multimedia dock?
Is it possible to use a usb device without a dock using the usb cord that comes with the tf201?
Nope, but you can get one of these.
Does it have full USB functions (keyboard connectivity and USB storage connectivity) ?
I have that and although I have not connected a keyboard I have gotten it to work wit a ps3 controller and a memmory card reader.

Hi all. I have a problem with my tablet Archos 70 IT Rom Uruk Droid 1.6. I wanted to connect a USB stick to it. I purchased a USB host. I plugged the USB drive and a message appeared that the external memory is faulty. I thought that just the tablet on the USB input current is too small because it is only 100mA. So I bought an active USB hub. I plugged this set and the system correctly detects the stick but when copying files to the message appears: external memory has unexpectedly disconnected. I would add that in this kit - hub + active host mouse works keyboard, GSM modem Huawei E122 is not working because the tablet can not be initiated. Why stick does not work properly?On the original ROM from Archos 2.4.82 is the same situation. I should add that this happens on a few memories of mass. Regards, and please help to solve my problem. I am very tired of this situation. Thanks for any help.
Hi
I just wonder it is any chance to connect two host to one android device?
I would like to connect 1x portable HDD and 1x SD Card reader to my Samsung Galaxy Note to get connection between hdd and sd card reader, just to simple transfer files between them. I already tryed connect them together via a SD Card reader with bultin host adapter via a USB socket in this device, but when I plugin a HDD to already connected sd card reader host I get an error and only a second connected device is working, so it looks like only one storage device can work in a same time. So maybe it is possible to apply some spllitter before two hosts and connect each device to different host adapter?
an usb hub, maybe?
If I understand you correctly, the problem is there can only be one host in any USB connection system.
In this case that host device should be your Galaxy Note.
You will have to be using an OTG cable and a USB hub.
The most I've ever connected at one time to my little device
was a card reader, a flash drive, 2 keyboards, a mouse, an audio adapter and a GPS.
I already have a OTG cable and the usb hub. But only one storage device at a time can be recognized by galaxy. When I plugin another one, the one already connected is automatically switched off and galaxy showing an error
I found the solution, the problem was with insufficient power, so I rebuild a otg cable a little bit to give it a +5V, and another +5V to a portable HDD and now I have exactlly what I need... a simple USB OTG BRIDGE fully controlled by GALAXY NOTE. I was need this to use a portable HDD as a photo bank (copy all of files from sd card to hdd in a travel). Thanks for your posts anyway.
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?
