hi guys
i have a stupid question
X10 mini support USB OTG?
How?which ROM? which Kernel?
Of doesn't. I'm working on making a kernel that will work but the power will need an external supply, this is for mini pro.

with any luck you will be able to attach a mouse, keyboard, flash drive, hub, game pad, usb hard disk, ect.
Provided you make a proper cable and provide sufficient external power.
If it works you should be able to do all kinds of handy things with the mini pro.

so not need special kernel?
just need external power and then it will work?
X10man and you told "this is for mini pro", your purpose is "mini" not support?

The hardware supports using the correct cable.
But we still need a kernel.

Hi there,
Has anyone figured out how to get an external USB webcam to work with the Motorola Atrix. Keyboard and mouse are possible via webtop and powered USB hub hack. How about webcam though. Assuming Atrix can go to USB host mode, external webcam should be possible. But has anyone tried?
Thanks!

As an added link, looks like webcam support for the nook has already occured, but wondering what the similarities may be.

From my understanding, we should just need the drivers. I have a cam at home I test, but I'm a complete noob with Linux, so I probably won't have any luck with installing drivers. (Though I'll certainly be looking through some of the webtop threads to see if I can figure it out. I'm sure we can find the drivers online...it's just a matter of getting them installed.)

As demonstrated by the Nook hack, Linux would support UVC compliant webcams. I beleive those drivers are running the builtin cameras as well.
Is Xperia Mini Pro tv-out capable?, i know it does not have an hdmi port like Xperia Pro, but i've seen some AV Cables that claims to be compatible with Xperia Mini Pro....
Also ive saw a guy who claimed that usb tv out would be possible....
And if none of the possibilities are true, whats the best way to see xperia mini pro in a tv, i was thinking of streaming but that can be a little slow... and DLNA is only for watching pics, movies, and music...
ty in advance
PS: Interesting video --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rS2ly9fk-Q pair that with a stereo cable and you got a pretty decent video out (at least to watch it on a pc... and then to tv xD)
there are micro usb to av out cables avialAble in market
The latest firmware 2.3.4 for all 2011 xperias is said to be tv-out compatible.
then there are cables avialable for htc incredoble etc
Can anyone confirm if there is a way to enable tv-out on the mini pro?
Eiher via micro-jack to composite or USB to composite.
I tried it with a micro-jack to composite cable that came with my WDTV mediaplayer but that didn't work. Didn't even gave audio to the TV..
Thanks!
I have a nokia N95 Tv-out cable that worked with my samsung wave... I'll try it tonight and let you know if this works...
There doesn't appear to be anything in the Android menus that appear to activate this though....
I also want to know if our xperia mini are capable of doing TVout on HDMI or VGA. Even just for power point presentation. It would really be helpful.
I would love to use my mini as a media player and connect it to my tv in my bedroom. (320x480 is good enough on a old television)

I found the HDMI activation in service menu *#*#7378423#*#* , but now... where to buy the cable, WHICH cable to buy, where does it fit?
The service menu is common to several models with different abilities.
Also for cables, search google:

Yes, but for unavailable hardware the service menu shows specific messages (not available, not installed,...). For HDMI, if I select ACTIVATE, it shows an additional screen to select resolution. It shows no data about the HDMI connection, but I guess it would, if I connected a canble...
After doing some googling I found "[email protected]" http://blog.ribomation.com/droid-at-screen/
is not what I was looking for but you can see your android screen on TV by connecting
Phone -> PC (laptop) -> TV
Works with windows/linux and uses adb.
Press "Thanks" if helped
Can we connect bt mouse to this awesome phone ? I Think its impossible with stock rom but with cm its possible
Thats possible and very simple. All you need is a cable MicroUSB=>USB with 5th extra-pin connected to the ground (its better looks at schemes and datasheets). Amazing but even stock firmware supports USB On-The-Go (wired and wireless) but only with .058. And why only mouses? Wireless keyboards and other stuff also just in case
That's nice, but is usb on-the-go supported in games ? Gta3 and others ?

Yep, keyboards and joystics are very easy and comfortable for some playing
Mouses is good for games like "Where Is My Water?", "Fruit Ninja" etc. and best for internet browsing.
But play GTA3 with mouse arrow at screen is freaking ugly...
How do you mean "But play GTA3 with mouse arrow at screen is freaking ugly..."
I was thinking to control gta 3 like on computer, not with the arrow on the screen, you know what i'm trying to say ?

Absolutelly dude But it's only ARROW mode available. Computer-like mouse control isn't supported
I'm shure they will soon fix that "problem" !
Im afraid there is no way to fix that problem. Im not sure but Android can work with mouses only in arrow mode
First of all sorry for getting this thread back, my question is related and we do not need a new one.
What about BLUETOOTH mouses, keyboards, joysticks ... does Xperia Mini Pro have the HID profile ? I could not find this info.
Wow, thread is so old.
You will need a usb otg cable.
A mouse or a keyboard with EXTERNEL power.
A kernel which support usb otg.
An apk that can make this work on your phone / support those things to work on your phone.

USB OTG works!! I can see my flash drive in the Settings/Storage, but can't seem to read it using ES File Explorer and my wireless mouse works perfectly. Anybody else try it?
EDIT: Astro File Manager reads all of my flash drives.
omg....they actually listen to us?!
I take it that you are running stock, not rooted or anything?
im stock rooted. before my external hard drive would just say "unable to charge device." now it ways that and that the disk is either blank or an unsupported format, so at least it recognizes it.
a usb mouse works fine. there is a cursor once its plugged in. wireless mouse works too.
my wireless keyboard is recognized, and there is even an inpu under select input, but nothing happens.
I've played some games with a USB controller. For some reason it won't power my wired Xbox 360 controller though. OTG is what I've really been waiting for. Hopefully I can use USB host and mhl at the same time with the adapter. Big screen gaming baby!

To read a USB on es file explorer go to root then storage and USB is in there. I already tried it and android by default doesn't support NTFS it needs to be added by a dev

I can confirm this also and it does work. The only problem i have is when removing the flash drive. If i do as we're suppose to and go to settings>storage> and scroll all the way to the bottom and select "unmount usb storage" before disconnecting, it also unmounts my sdcard and i have to manually select "mount usb storage". Anyone know why it unmounts both??? I am running the newest jb rom, it's rooted stock rom with s-on and a custom recovery and backup. Not a big deal, just wondering if anyone else noticed this or is everyone else just removing the drive and hoping not to damage the drive or a file on it or even possibly their evolte????
Men the s3 connect straight up...freaking EVO just sits there looking stupid...no ps3 controller

I know this is an old thread, but I'm wondering if anyone has been able to successfully use a wired xbox controller. I've been using an OTG cable with the external power connector (although I haven't had to actually use external power for anything I've tried so far). I was able to get wired and wireless mice, wired/sireless keyboards, and fat32 and ntfs flash drives to work. I also connected a keyboard, mouse, and flash drive all at once using a usb hub and they all worked fine. The only think I haven't been able to get to work is my xbox controller. With or without power, when plugged in, it just flashes once every several seconds while plugged in. Nothing seems to recognize it.
This is the only thread that came up in the General Forum for the LTEvo that mentions xbox controllers... Anyone have any ideas?
I'm running Viper4G 3.1.5 with S-Off.
Hey guys..
I have a WD 1tb HD which iz self powered...
I want to use it with my tab 2 p3100
I understand that tab cannot supply enough power to the self powered HD..
I have made a Y-cable for the purpose...
The HD lights up and vibrates indicating that its receiving power but unfortunately it doesn't show up on the tab..
Then I felt the cable might be the reason and I brought a usb power hub...
Its exactly the same situation with the usb power hub as well..
Plze help me out with getting my HD work with the tablet...
I have searched a lot but couldn't get a proper way to get things going...
My tab iz rooted with sungsonic hd v2 running...
USB power hub iz iball lappie...
WD HD uses usb 3 but tab doesn't recognize it with usb 2 cable as well..
Share it if u know it...

Install "USB device info" from the market, connect the HDD and see if the program can find the HDD.
If yes, it's very strange, and (IMHO) the problem is the tablet/kernel, because it can' t find a proper driver for the usb to sata box..
This is why the HDD and the usb to sata box haven't a logo like "made for android" or "work with android", because some android have some driver, and other android have other driver.
You can try to use another usb to sata box and see if it works with the same HDD...
A similiar problem come if you connect a webcam to your tablet, usb device info can see it but you can't use it without a proper app/custom kernel
Hope I've helped you a little bit,
Bye!
The HD has to be formatted FAT32 also as the TAB will not read NTFS unless you can find a custom kernel to allow it.

I don't think so. NTFS is a microsoft format and microsoft does not want to share the ability. So Android kernel by default does not read it. It's FAT32 or exFat I believe. I have heard that NTFSMount.apk may add that ability but I have never tried it. Your Tab needs to be rooted and mine is not.
Edit: Other apps on Google Play will do this but Tab must be rooted.
Well agree wid agoattamer
One need to have a rooted device for ntfs , there are various apps in play store for mounting NTFS / hfs formats, eq Paragon ex fats, ntfs
otherwise fat 32 is better one to go wid as it works wid both plateforms(windows n android)

Fat32 has a theorical limit of about 2TB, and it support max 4GB for a file.
It's on-sense for an external 3,5" hard drive to waste it's performance with this old (1996) file-system.
I prefer to root my tablet and enable other file-system like ntfs orr exfat aka fat64 for both platforms or an ext2/3/4
That may be a hardware issue. Try with an OTG cable or adapter plugged in USB connector of your P3100.
(OTG stands for On-The-Go whatever that means)
