I moved from the state's to Germany and am trying to find a good use for my 3D running Viper Rom since its Sprint CDMA and doesn't work in Europe. I currently have the HTC One X quad core.
I was kind of hoping USB OTG has been hacked to work on it so I could run it as a small pc (monitor mouse and keyboard) or something, but I could not find any info to get that working (searched and searched).
Its not worth me selling since it has a bad esn and only would sell for 100 USD or so. Then minus eBay and paypals fees. Bla bla... Too much work cor not enough pay..
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks in advance!

OTG works fine on the Evo 3D if you use a kernel like ButteredToast that supports it.
You might also look into GrooveIP that uses Google Voice and works pretty well over WiFi and the international calls are pretty inexpensive over GV.
If you really want to use it as a mini PC there is a thread here that discusses how to run Ubuntu Linux on it.
And worse comes to worse, you can download some 3D movies over WiFi and connect it to a 3D TV via an MHL/HDMI adapter.
I plan to keep my Evo 3D's around for a while after I upgrade for these and other reasons, and the development for it is still pretty active for this device.

Ok, I tried the buttered toast kernel. What Rom do I need? Does that link point out everything that's needed?
I was going to try the google voice thing, but I couldn't set up a phone number since now I have no US cell number to confirm a text or something like that. I don't remember exactly because its been a little while since I tried it.
Thanks for your input!

The OP of the OTG thread has most of what you need to get it to work. Make sure you use an OTG adapter that will let you supply power of use an active USB hub since the Evo 3D doesn't provide power to the OTG device(s).
You can get a new US phone number from Google Voice when you sign up and it doesn't have to match your cell phone. GrooveIP will be able to receive calls on that number in addition to making outgoing calls.
Good luck!

hey guys. i haven't seen any mention of this so I'm assuming it can't be done, but I figured i'd ask to be sure.
is it possible to enable/use OTG usb host mode on our phones? I have that function on my Xoom using Hammerhead 2.1 with the Tachi kernel and it's pretty good...and my OTG cable brought a second one that i would like to use with the phone when necessary.
any info on whether this is possible now, whether it is being worked on, or whether it will never be done, is appreciated!
It will probably be enabled when ICS comes out later this year.
That sounds like we are positively going to run Ics on our phones?

Whether it's official from HTC/Sprint or CM, it will be on my phone, for sure.
Hey Guys,
I just purchased a Kenwood KDC-BT952HD. Everythings Smooth With It, Except for the main reason i bought it, to pair it to my phone.
When i connect my Evo 3D to my stereo via Bluetooth, works for a bit, then cuts out. Then my phone freaks out and doesn't let me turn Bluetooth off, then back on. (Only way is to reset the phone.)
On top of that, anything being played via the stock player (which recognizes the Bluetooth connection) sounds so cheap. Pandora on the other hand sounds fine. Not sure why it sounds different between players.
Here's a link to Kenwood's list of compatible Bluetooth devices:
http://www.kenwood.com/cs/ce/bt/index.php (Select KDC-BT9; KDC-BT952HD) and (HTC; Evo 3D)
Says its compatible, but sounds like crap compared to the crisp sound it has with my iPad, which i don't want to use over my phone.
Any Help Please!
Thanks!
Edit:
Sounds crisp and clear VIA Play Music app, but I don't know what to do about the random cut outs. For some reason I feel its my device that's cutting out, as I can't turn Bluetooth on or off after it cuts out.
Anybody?

Possibly a defective unit. Take it back AFTER trying a stock rom. Ive used mine with the exact same one and had no issues yet.
I have a kenwood bt 838-u and it doesn't do anything like that. I agree with leo it might be a defective radio. Also have you checked for any firmware updates for the head unit.

Thanks, i haven't updated it, but im not sure how to. I believe i do it through the USB port? theres also no firmware available to download from Kenwood's site under that specific model.
Another option would be to try sync another phone or bluetooth device to it.

I haven't been able to except for my iPad, which worked fine with no issues. I'm going to try the stock ROM in a bit. I'll try my girls 3vo when she gets home tonight. Thanks for the feedback guys.
Anybody know how to update the firmware on the stereo?
Via My HTC Evo 3D On The Now Network From Sprint.
Starting to thinks it might be defective. Tried my iPad again, and it plays fine, then starts stuttering. This all happened without moving anything. The iPad sat in the same spot when it started, and stopped. I'm hoping there's a fix, or worst case, it's the stereo and I can replace it.
I would contact kenwood and tell them what is doing. Tell them you have tried multiple devices and have the same issue. They might have some firmware update that is not on the website or they might give you an RMA.
Contacted Kenwood, they couldn't help. No updates available also. Although, pure stock rom isn't giving me an issue. I'm going back to my rom, but going to see if using stock kernel changes anything. :/
I'm using freezes kernel.
Found the issue. My boy freezas working on a fix.
Via My HTC Evo 3D On The Now Network From Sprint.
Yes there has been a firmware update. (EVO 3D owner)
I'm a new user so I can't post urls sorry:
There's an instruction page and a download page on the kenwood usa site
FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS EXACTLY! Part of the update needs to be burned onto a CD and part needs to be burned onto a thumb drive.
I have the same kenwood unit. It was acting squirrly with my evo 3d then I found this update and installed it. It now works perfecctly. Controls Pandora and displays everything!
Pandora tip: Start the app from your phone first THEN go into pandora mode on the unit. It works everytime then.

Hi all,
I'd like to use my HTC Thunderbolt as a wireless fax/modem for my Fujitsu laptop, which is running Windows 7 Home Premium (64bit).
I can connect via Blue Tooth and as a wireless hot spot. However, when I run the laptop's fax program, it does not see the phone in the list of connected fax/modems.
Is what I want to do doable? Currently running Thunderstick Full Blown Sense 3.0 custom ROM.
Thanks!
Robert

I just checked into this. The Thunderbolt does not seem to have any documented (official or unofficial) support to be used as a modem, so faxing with it would not be possible unless you used a third party service like donnyp1 said.
Some "old school" cell phones, like my old Kyocera 2325, would show up as a modem in Windows with a COM port and everything when connected via USB - allowing you to send faxes. I also experimented with this myself and could not get it to work. Also, the Bluetooth modem/COM port service is not there either. Bummer!

Thanks for checking it out. Too bad that was the result though. I send faxes so infrequently, that paying a monthly charge for the service wouldn't be worth it at this time. I'll just have to look for an RJ-11 express card for my laptop instead.
Later,
Robert

I just ordered my USB OTG Cable today. For those that don't know what it means, it stands for USB On-The-Go. Basically, it allows you to read files from a portable flash drive straight from your phone. This will only work with a compatable kernel and since we have an ICS Source the developers said it was already enabled within the kernel.
This will be my first time to have ever used one and I was just wondering the pros and cons of having something like this.
I need some feed back~~
well from my POV these are my pros and cons...
PROS:
Extra space (whatever you can get that hooks up to usb, 2tb!!)
CONS:
Lugging around the extra crap
You have a good con list ziggy46..lol
I was concerned about that as well. But I have a 500gb portable external hard drive and it has tons of crap that I can probably watch or listen to on my phone. I can't shove everything on my 32gb sdcard. My 1T sits on my desk for my wife's photography thing she does.
My friend has an OTG cable and he uses his usb mouse to control his phone.
It's pretty cool but really gimmicky.
Hmmm...interesting. Thanks for the tip
if your otg cable works out good for you let us know. i might buy one and get a 2tb usb hdd.
btw, if things are fomatted in NTFS you might need to make a script for them to mount to the phone...
HTC doesn't support USB OTG in general. It will require a kernel hack. It didn't work in GB. I am not sure about ICS.
From what kozmick mentioned in his kernel thread it was enabled in the kernel. Im hoping it works if not then I hope it works on the N7 or my wife's SGS2.

I still have my OTG cable from my Nokia N8. I wonder if it will work..
Normally USB otg won't work on an HTC device. According to faux its something about the USB stack.
Ok. So I FINALLY got my USB-OTG Cable and even with the enabeled kernel it does not work. Kinda bummed but the part was cheap so its not a major loss. It works on ky wife's SGS2 and I read that it will work on the Idolian tablet I just ordered so I'm cool with that. I'll try and sell the other 3 that I won't need.

Just wondering, for the usb otg on the sgs2, did you need to connect the ext hd with power source? Or is the sgs2 able to power the ext hd?
It was able to power it just fine. I was just using a 2GB flash drive to test and you can see the led light come on. Not sure how well it could keep the charge up tho.

What are some good gamepads that can be clipped on to the EVO 4G LTE? I have a PS3 controller and that works good, but maybe there's something that can fit onto the EVO 4G LTE.
I was looking at http://www.amazon.com/Gametel-Porta...id=1346540532&sr=8-8&keywords=Gamepad+android but it kinda looks "meh" due to the odd looking D-PAD

The way that ICS works for PS3 controllers is that after you plug it in the first time it will automatically pair with the controller over bt so you won't need the wire again afterwards.
As i'm not sure whether the phone can charge the controller or not, in which case if it does i wouldn't want it sucking power off the phone during use, i would just get the one without wires for less stuff to lug around.
No idea if using the controller will interfere with BT headset functionality if you use any with the phone, but i do know that when i'm listening to music autotether doesn't work properly so that might be something to think about.

Awesome! I saw a review when it first came out. It was around $50 at the time. Definitely getting one now!
Pretty easy to replicate the design, its off to blender I go to build one.
