Can I connect my portable hard disk (USB) to my HTC GENE.
I think this is because of HTC GENE itself dont have USB host.
Anyone knows any adapter which converts SD card to USB host (Female)
When I searched for that I got the adapter with Flash card.

Please help If anyone knows any other way.
Thanks in advance.
i dont think u have ne other options
Yes, apart from using an addon adapter, there is no option. Coz the miniUSB port that we have is not a host port, only a host port can get client devices connected. addon adapters provide that.
Thanks for the help

Thansk for the information.
Hi,
Can anyone tell me if there should be any technical reason why the Flyer cant run on Honeycombe 3.1 and implement the usb host update so I can download jpegs from my dslr using usb.
Many thanks.
It might be worth trying it without honeycomb, I believe that Qualcomm chips have supported USB host since Eclair, perhaps HTC enabled it already?
Has anyone tried it yet?
I'd like to read some gps data from a SD card.
Thanks guys but needed a tablet asap which would also allow me to transfer files from my dslr via usb. Its been confirmed on other forums that the 3.1 update from Motorola will enable this so went with the Zoom
If you just need it for the DSLR have you considered an EyeFI card? For less than $100 you can get a direct connection from the camera to the tablet (or phone).

I know, its a great solution but my D700 only uses CF cards which aren't currently supported.

Yeah I have a D70 that's not supported either. I haven't gone and gotten one for my D60 yet although I've considered it a few times.
USB-host on Flyer
hi guys!
any news on this topic?
as there is already tmp root achieved and permanent root on s-off flyers, has anybody already tried to implement usb host functionality now?
I believe to have heard, that Honeycomb should support USB-host functionality automatically... Do we need to wait for 3.2, or could we get it earlier?
I'd really appreciate this (as I am also owning a DSLR from Canon), and would be willing to donate.
greets, alf.
Sure that the Flyer has the necessary chipset to work as a USB host?

I'm actually working on a direct DSLR app using USB host, a preview of which should hopefully be released by the end of the week (alpha, not beta).
I'm mentioning this because it works on the Galaxy S2 with 2.3.4. I've not been able to get it to work on the Galaxy S1 with 2.3.4, but it just goes to show, it may not be 100% necessary to be running HC 3.1 to support it (as evidenced by the SGS2).
What kind of connection cable does the HTC Flyer have ? Micro USB ? If so, I'd advise to give the test app a spin when I release it if you happen to have a USB host cable.
Either way, the chips themselves have supported it for years and years, that's not the issue. Kernel and framework support and such is the problem.

yes, the flyer got a micro usb port.
I also happen to have the correct usb host cable (micro usb to usb-female...), so as soon as your software is out, I would give it a try.
please keep us informed, thx!

Test with a card reader or ext hd (powered) plugged to your cable and see if you get a new drive through a file explorer... The kernel will definitely need to support this functionality, or the fstab may need to be modified.

Indeed if you have a micro usb cable already, connect a usb stick, see if anything happens... that should tell you straight up.
of course I already tried different devices (USB-stick, hard drive, camera directly...), but there was absolutely no reaction ...
simply plugging it in doesn't work.
greets
Then it's probably lacking kernel and/or framework support.
is there a way to fix this with root?
any news on this matter?

Hi Chainfire,
have you looked into the Archos Gen8 range of tablets for any kernel info?
They utilise Froyo and have had USB host since day one. Maybe you could patch something from there?
H.
And what about porting the results for the SGT described here? http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...e-versatile-thanks-to-usb-host-functionality/
I can't wait. A Flyer with notes, the pen and USB host would be an fantastic tool for photography AND for any kind of fieldwork.
If you can take a photo with a proper camera and then check it on a flyer awesome display and use the pen... just imagine!
Sometimes I'm afraid that HTC did not bet enough hard for a fantastic device!
Anyone got a USB mouse to work on their G9?
edit: from the 3g port, like this guy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7H-EupM9g4
I dont want it bad enough to buy an adapter '
edit 2: someone said probably need a usb hub to translate usb 1.1/2.0
I can't get it to work through the back USB port either. Archos themselves say you need a micro USB to USB host cable, I ordered one today so I can test later.
Don't worry. Spend a dollar and buy OTG USB adpter. And your device will looks sexy not inside but and outside.

Yes, on my 80 G9 turbo hdd, I use the previous model of this: keyboard and mouse touchpad.
With this. Works like a charm.

The 3G USB host port needs definitely a hub to handle USB1.1 devices.
The OTG USB port is able to work with either with USB1.1 and USB2.0, but is restricted to work with HID and mass storage devices, due to software restriction.
AFAIK there's no general device support on the OTG port.
Correct me if i'm wrong...

It works for me without a hub

The video is private, and it doesn't work with a hub either, I've just tried.

So i was wondering if this OTG cable will work on my dorid razr for connect things such as a ps3 contoll or keyboard. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Micro-U...513597?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item19d56784bd thanks in advance
I've been wondering the same....
From what I understood from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1349038
You need to the OTG cable, plus an external power source, plus a usb hub?..
I don't know if using this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Micro-USB-H...970640?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2577ef70d0
Or the one you posted would work....
Anyone? A little help here please.
