USB GPS Receiver capable?

Hey guys...
After reading the last wm6 vanilla thread, i can imagine how annoying i was w/ the wm6 black 2.0 release b*ing and whining about how i coudln't my wireless to work...
anyways, i'll try to cut the stupidity posts to a minimum but in the meantime maybe someone has tried using a usb gps receiver on their phone.
i'm trying to configure ports and stuff via usb, but not too sure what baud rate, which com port etc to set everything at for maximum usage... in fact i don't even know if the darn thing works with my phone either
about to reinstall googlemaps to see if the usb will work....
i know everyone is using bluetooth, but i had this garmin usb 18 laying around for my laptop and bought a usb --> mini usb adapter and thought i'd try it
if anyone has tried, please help me out... thanks

wrong forum
Not a stupid question, a stupid place to ask it. Try here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=307

you can't connect a USB GPS to the phone.
the USB GPSs require a server side USB port, the phone is only a client USB port. Hence, you can't connect peripherals to it such as GPSs, printers etc...

Bluetooth GPS units work very well with the Hermes though!?

RS-232 for Serial Access

Hi there,
I was searching the forums for an RS-232 for serial access and can't find any information as I was wondering if there is a RS-232 cable avaiable for serial access. Like the cables RS-232 to USB converter for laptops to config cisco, juipters and Huawei. I have a RS-232 to USB but it is using a regular USB A plug. So the other question is that is possible to use the regual RS-232 to USB converter with gender change, but I don't think there are any drivers for the accessory for WM6. So it sounds like I have answered my own question . BTW, I am using the Kasier and it would be a great help if I can buy one instead of DIY one like -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=257858

would believe it is required for such a device to work that the pda support usb host only Athena does that

Thanks. I though that the Kasier has the OTG (yes it does), but you are right. It doesn't support the USB Host features. Thanks.

if you by OTG mean usb on the go then htc dont seem to use that feature in any of their devices even if the cpu have it included it seems they use their own usb chip

Using a external HDD with WM6

Hi
i was wondering if it is posible to get drivers that enable me to plug a external hard drive into my Hermes using the mini usb port?
any info would be great.
cheers

no only usb host enabled hardware can use usb devices
99% of the htc pdas are not usb host enabled

[Q] Any usb host mode driver for Desire HD?

Hello:
I use Nexus One before, and there is a USB host mode driver which enables Nexus One's USB host function, I can connect some USB device to it, it's awesome ^_^
Now I switched to Desire HD, so is there any usb host mode driver for it now??
Thanks very much~~~

I was just thinking if DHD can do this the other day, I would too love to know about this.

?
Ok, I saw this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=702742&page=1
My question: Can that mod let me connect a USB-VGA adapter to a Desire?
Thanks!

Yeah, USB-VGA adapter will works if usb host mode driver works...
Does this usb host mode driver for Desire also works for Desire HD??

any updates? anyone figured or tried anything? whether it worked or didn't work?

would love to use a gamepad or keyboard I have the adapter that goes to female usb too

Second USB device

I tried connecting a USB keyboard using an USB OTG cable, but I didn't get it to work. The other USB port is in use by my external harddrive.
Is there a possibility to make the keyboard work?
Can immagine more people want to add a second USB device to their OUYA...

You'll need to buy a USB HUB (Get a powered one to future proof all your USB needs, you can get a USB 2.0 Hub pretty cheap). This will allow you to hook up at least 3 USB's to the OUYA. The Micro USB won't work for things such as hard drives or HID devices.
In the future, please use the search function before posting as this has been talked about in many other posts.

I have a 4-port hub and it works fine connecting 1 storage and 3 other usb devices

I had this issue where only one harddrive could be used and If you have a harddrive with 2 partitions ouya wont mount it. Luckily I found an app called usbotghelper which does all the above I mentioned plus read and write and ext3 support. I wish it would get submitted to the ouya store so I could use the paid version that will mount on startup.
