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.

Hey,
I purchased a USB OTG cable for my Archos G9 I'm getting for Christmas (two days!)
I tried a mouse, 4 flash drives and a keyboard, knowing that the Ace most likely doesn't include Host mode.. It didn't work at all, So I was wondering if any kernels support it or roms?
I know it can be hacked through like kernel modules, Just wondering how much work it would be to create modules and drivers for it? I'm not that experienced with creating kernel modules and what not, I've created and ported roms and fixed kernels before for the GT540 and to be honest, I'm really not that good at it haha.
Does anyone know anything we could do to make it work?
Thanks in advance,
Jamie.
-Edit:
Just saw this for the Blade, Based on the 600mhz 7227, http://sven.killig.de/android/Blade/usb_host/
Maybe this could be edited for our Ace?
I think that we can have USB Host, but i don't know why nobody tried to give us that feature... maybe cpu arch?
However, i want it too

It would be pretty cool Probably drain the battery alot though haha.
Its supported by the CPU as Qualcomm have said before, so its up to Samsung or a pretty cool and nice dev All the drivers and Kernel Modules are on the page I linked to so it'd be a case of making it all relative to the Ace and its kernel
Swyped from my GT-S5830 using XDA App
Hope I'm not bringing up too old a thread, but I searched in correct forum and this is what came up.
Any news of anyone building the correct Kernel for the Ace II in order to support USB Host ?
II have a Samsung engineer getting back to me about if Ace II Android 4.1.2 can mount external USB devices, but unless Samsung supports this II'll have to replace Android with something that can.
Needing this for photo transfer from camera SD card. I could use a mini SD card but just paid out for a highest speed SDHC card. Anyway those llittle SD mini SD cards are too easy to lose on mountaintops and that kind of thing
USB host wiht libusb
I also am still looking for usb host mode support.
Does anyone have any information?
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.

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.

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.

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!
I'm going to a part of Japan where there's more wired internet than wireless.
Can I connect my Galaxy S3 straight to wired internet? I have an OTG USB cable with which the S3 works fine with hubs, mice, keyboards and storage. I have a Hawking USB to wired ethernet (RJ45) adapter. When I plug it all together the adapter lights up green but nothing happens. Is this a software/driver issue and is there an app which overcomes it?
I'm NOT interested in lugging a netbook with me, or any stuff about tethering, or expensive 3G. I will take my Netgear wireless travel router WGR101 "hotspot" if I have to.
Mainly I just want to connect the S3 to an ethernet cable.
Thank you.
Mod
There might be a mod out there, i know the transformer tablets support this, but it will be intresting to find out...
My tablet connects to wired internet first time using its OTG connector and the Hawking USB/RJ45 adapter. It's a 7" Eken MB702C using Allwinner Tech Boxchip ARM Cortex™-A8 1.2GHz and running Android 2.3.4. If it can do it, why can't an S3? Is it hardware or drivers and rom? Thanks.
Have you tried using the usb tethering option?
It's purely drivers. USB-OTG has backward-compatibility to standard USB2.0 so it can use any USB-device it can provide enough juice for.
However the kernel has to recognize the USB device and load/activate the corresponding drivers. Then the uerland scripts configuring the (DHCP) IP-address and other settings have to kick in.
Of course ur right d4fseeker, but now what drivers to install? My kernel is 3.0.15 and I really want the eth0 (ethernet interface from cable) in backtrack 5 on my phone... so what can I do??? I have a usb OTG connector that works perfectly with mouses and joysticks but that isnt working with any of my two ethernet to usb (the ethernet to usb shows a light but on the s3 it doesnt show anything because the kernel doesnt recognize it) How to enable the recognition of the ethernet by the kernel ? WHAT DRIVERS?! Thank you.
PS: Does anyone know how to enable monitor mode on samsung galaxy s3 ive seen this post :

you could use the command-line dmesg in Backtrack to show which module is loaded
it's hard to find and explain it on a forum but if you've got skype et al we could try it live

Take a look at the SiyahKernel (www.gokhanmoral.com). It allows you to add additional drivers to the kernel, if it has not already.
the problem is finding the proper driver and build it to specs.
Of course, thanks for the link

Can we do it thru skype, will you pls help me in this regard
my Kernel version is : 3.0.31 - 488302
I'm keen to see this progress too - but i wouldnt know where to start with compiling it into the kernel or inserting the mods. The drivers are present in the tablet builds - for example I have it working on the nexus 7 - so porting shouldnt be too hard. Just hope that one of the kernel dev teams has the time and interest to look at this......

You can buy an adapter on eBay, it is about the size of a pack of cards / cigarette pack. Plug the ethernet cable from the hotel into the unit and it then makes the adapter a wireless access point. I bought one about a year ago for exactly a similar reason - traveling to hotels where there is only wireless in the lobby, not the rooms. Unit cost be £15 / $22 - the link in my eBay account has now expired, but search away on eBay.

Here is a similar device - even cheaper than I paid - on eBay UK.

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.

I doesn´t try it but i think it will work cause galaxy player and galaxy S have same hardware...
I should work, as the Galaxy player has usb storage support (the internal sdcard is listed as usb storage, so I am assuming yes).
No Aries family device supports USB OTG by default.
Some people have had success in getting OTG partially working on Aries-family devices, but it is simply not possible to have full functionality. (Most specifically, the device does not have what is required to power an offboard accessory.)
