Hi.
So the problem is: my mini-jack port in my PC is fudged, and I want to make a setup computer-phone-earphones. Just plug the phone to a USB port, earphones to phones' jack and roll like that for now. Any way I can make that work?
Oh come on! I'm sure somebody knows an app for that.

Hey everyone-
Before you say this just let me say that I've already tried the IP webcam app that acts a wireless webcam from your phone to pc. The app worked and I was able to see the stream from my phone in my browser, but I couldn't get it to display the stream in skype (although it did detect the webcam, the screen was just black. Anyway, I've been trying to figure out a way to connect my Vibrant to my PC via the usb cable and use it as a WIRED webcam, so that it would be picked up as an external webcam by windows. The only reason I prefer to go wired is because of the fact that I'm trying to get rid of any frame lag between when I speak/move and when the computer shows it, which I assume would be eliminated by a wired connection. If anyone has any ideas, let me know, thanks.
-Much ablidged,
any help please?
It wasn't working for me either

Any help? Thnx again
I definitely would love to know the answer to this also, although I admit I did not search google for results. I just ran across your post and now I'm curious.

it may work as video out, but not strictly as hardware like a regular video cam. Meaning you will need the special cables and a capture card on the computer......
When you say it might work as video out, what do you mean exactly? I realize it may not pick it up as a usb webcam automatically, but is there any way to trick into thinking it is a wired webcam or something similar with a piece of software or something?
I wondered if i can connect(via USB) my Hero to PC and use it as a microphone.
I saw an application in market called Microphone and i need to connect my phones audio jack to pc via aux(male to male) plug and it should work, but this app is a little bit laggy, so i want to know if i can do the same thing using usb cable.
Maybe someone can help.
Is it possible to use the micro USB audio connector for audio? After rooting, the audio application of the android does not recognize the mp3 files to play. Why not let it do so?
I think that would require USB host mode like on the Samsung galaxy. I think that means needing extra hardware doesn't it? -otherwise I would expect every phone to be capable of it
edit: It is possible but you can fry stuff. Info on NookColor forum
USB host = great possible enhancement?
I wanted to post to proper thread, however I am new here I was not allowed to post on developers forum. So I hope that this post will still somehow find its way there. It also includes your original question.
Since some USB features are now claimed to be working, I wanted to ask directly poping out questions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21669750
Is it possible to...
1.) disable on-screen keyboard while using USB one?
2.) connect USB soundcard like: http://www.usbgear.com/computer_cable_details.cfm?sku=USBG-X2X&cats=121&catid=121%2C136%2C134
To allow listening mp3, Skype calls.... ?
3.) connect USB Ethernet card like: http://www.usbgear.com/205528.html
4.) to connect other cool usb stuff like: GSM, printers ... whatever
thanks you developer guys, I hope I'll once manage some time to learn more about the system and developement so that I could contribute too !
thanks to androind and nook simple touch creators!

Currently the answer to all of the above is no
The USB host mode patch was done for a specific project (USB keyboard support) and while I have been spending some time playing around with Bluetooth I'm not aware of any other dev(s) working on expanding this atm.
Stuff like audio, networking and Bluetooth requires _a_lot_ more than just the kernel accepting to communicate with the device.
thats shame. allowed skype calls would be great
Skype calls are working on my nook with OTG + USB audio card on usb host mode. But it is a bit difficult ))).
To update these older posts:
Yes, it is possible to disable the soft keyboard when using a USB keyboard.
See NullKbd in the signature.
Yes, Skype works fine.

Where is the difficulty?
Do a logcat and look for overruns and errors.
There were a few mods done to make Skype work.
so an external usb sound card is working?
Yes, an external USB audio adapter can work.
As a portable solution it's a bit cumbersome.
I don't know what current they usually draw, but my cheapy one draws 75 mA.
A desktop solution with powered hub (charging the Nook), a USB adapter and speakers works fine.
Would USB headphones work directly on that port? I have USB OTG cable and some USB sound card somewhere so I can check with regular 3.5mm jack headphones without trouble when I find some time to do it but I just wonder if anyone tried USB headphones on it and what they think of it. Is it worth of a hassle to buy one for NST?
Some USB devices use a multiplexor on the USB micro connector and can send actual analog audio down the connector.
Many Androids support USB host mode and can support an audio USB adapter, including the ones that go for < $10.
The NST (earlier Nooks with OMAP processors) don't have complete software support for USB host mode but can be coerced into working.
The Glows (later Nooks with IMX processor) don't have complete software or hardware support for USB host mode but can be coerced into working.
The Glow4 (7.8") has audio.
Hey guys I did some research already and it appears that the Xperia S can't connect to the USB on my car stereo and play music because it does not come with an MSC mode? I saw that there is a mod in the development section that allows you to mount your phone to USB devices and I'm wondering if that is a solution to connecting my phone to the car, or if there are any other alternatives.
Normally i connect my phone with bluetooth to an sony carstereo. It worked really fine..
I dont know if thats an option for you..
Some people say .76 fixed that problem.. Cant really confirm that. You can give it a try...

On my cheap kenwood mobile stereo there are no problem connecting and playing music from the phone...
I had a problem, but discovered that if i turned USB-errorcorrection or was it unknown sources off, the problem was gone...
Try to play a little with those settings...

Well the USB is my only option because I want to be able to control it through my car controls
I updated to .75 and I got the same error, also enabled unknown apps and usb debugging. Anyone know what else I can do to fix this problem?

I don't think you can control the phone through USB, but you might be able to via Bluetooth, if you have that.
(I have Bluetooth headphones and can change tracks from the headphones)

Have you got an auxiliary out socket on your car stereo?
Can you connect to that from the headphone socket on your phone?

OP you need to root so you can mod it to use the internal as mass storage. That'll fix it.
Ok then...
Maybe my cheap kenwood is just better at this then, but i doubt...
I have no rooted firmware just stock...
My carradio don't actually controll the phone, it just play the music foldere on my phone, and i am able to controll that...
Sent from my FONY LT26i using xda premium STILL WITHOUT ICS
Shoot, I was thinking about rooting it, apparently it will work if I access MSC mode? I just don't know exactly how to root it, is there like a new root method for .75 update or do you downgrade first? I'll probably find the answer if i dig through the forums but since this is my first time owning an android phone I didn't want to risk bricking it only weeks after buying it!
My car doesn't support bluetooth stereo unfortunately so only the USB cable is an option, and yes AUX works but that is besides the point.
I am in the same boat as you, I have an Alpine 105i, and the Xperia doesn't even know it's plugged in, so won't even charge, never mind be used as a MSD...
Let me know how you get round this if you do.
My car stereo supports USB thumb drives and iPods. My understanding is that this would work with UMS mode on Android (I think). But with ICS, UMS is gone and replaced by MTP and PTP. Is it possible to still connect an ICS android phone to a car stereo via USB?
I've got a Samsung Galaxy S3 and have tried using the "SGS3 Easy UMS" app to connect my phone with no luck. Is this on the right track? Has anyone else gotten this to work?
I've just switched over from an iPhone which worked great in the car for streaming music via USB and would like to do the same with my SGS3, but right now I can't seem to find a solution so I'm leaning towards returning it and going for the iPhone 5.
Anyone have any luck connecting an ICS android device to a car stereo via USB?
TIA!

Why don't you buy a 3.5 mm cable and connect it?

Unfortunately, this model stereo (Bose) does not have a 3.5mm input, it only has the USB input. The manual states that the USB input supports "various USB memory sticks, USB hard drives, and iPod players". I have been using it without issue with my iPhone 4 (both as a "USB drive" and to play streaming music via spotify and other streaming players). With the Android phone, with MTP, it doesn't look like a USB drive and therefore won't actually connect (I get a "check device" message).
Seems strange to me that with ICS, the OS is no longer compatible with any of these USB-enabled car stereos (and there seem to be only a handful of MTP-compatible head units out there). Since it apparently worked pre-ICS (I can't verify if that would work on my specific car stereo since my phone is ICS), it would seem that they could have at least had an option to enable UMS mode.
Still hoping for a solution...

I know how you feal i have a AVH-P3300T and it works GREAT with pandora and iPhone...(even an iPhone 2G) pandora detected the stereo as an accessory right away... but for what ever reason when i plug my HTC Sensation in it jsut reads it it as a disk drive..
there has to be some active driver letting the head unit and the device talk... If there was a way to capture that level of logging going on im sure there some people here that could reverse engineer this... and just make it so that its a service runnign in the back ground...
Either that... or soemoen figure out how to REPROGRAM a head unit from its stock image to an android image lol...
