Can Desire work as USB host?

Hi. I'm wondering if desire can work as a USB host like droid does? I cannot post links, but I think you know what I'm talking about. Would be nice to use a real keyboard with it..

I can't add anything useful so this is a shameless bump I'm afraid!
As far as I know though, USB Host is a software or firmware capability, and that for a few years USB hardware has been capable of both (cheaper to make one chip than two).
Would be fantastic to copy images etc off to a portable hard disk.

Actually im pretty sure it's different chip. For example, the HTC G1 was possibly the most hevily modified phone in history and they never got usb host on it. The different chipset is called USB OTG http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_On-The-Go Ive spent ages looking for datasheets to find out if we have a compatable chipset but could never find any.

oups, jumped the gun, this is not what it was about, I have no idea if the Desire can do that, I'd be interested if it could though

I think it´s posible...
Don give up yet ppl, our desire it´s perfectly capable usb-otg device. They omitted this feature because of deadlines, desire hd and z have it and htc plans on marketing an dlna adapter in q4 for them.
Notice desire (bravo) capabilities before reaching the market : http://gdgt.com/htc/desire/specs/
and after http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=2251&c=htc_desire_htc_bravo . Knowing that I´m searching the web for hacks to enable usb-otg on mi bravo like the guy that did it on his droid. cheers

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694427 -Nexus One USB host driver
Hardware on Desire(Bravo) and Nexus One(Passion) are nearly identical to each other internally.
From what I remember of the Nexus One thread (I owed a N1 before my Desire) you need a special cable (in order to provide power to the secondary device) and special drivers (to provide the host side) but it is possible.
edit: and I forgot, you need to flash the kernel, to use USB host mode, Flash back to use USB slave mode.

This might seem Pedantic, but a well typed search on eBay (for me at least) found one or 2 where people have dropped their HD and now the screen broke or any number of issues. Maybe something you could work with?
Searches like "Desire HD SPARES"
or "Desire HD BROKEN" found a few butter-fingered users

I think you can buy camera from here:

SORRY GUYS the 8mp desire hd camera fitted perfect and soon as i open camera app blank black screen soo disappointing o well was worth a try
moving on ive managed to solder in some blue led bulbs in the bottom looks sick with a white housing just another mod to make the desire even cooler then what it already is
post up screen shoots soon thnx

Try one of the earlier ports of the DHD rom maybe? the ones where the camera wouldn't work, as it probably has the drivers needed for the DHD camera...which you've just installed

Just a few things...
Any rom works with NextG, you just won't get "unmetered" content due to the device id. I'm running Oxygen and it works fine with HSDPA on 850mhz. You only need to run a Telstra specific rom if you want to retain all the shortcuts to telstra services and access them "unmetered" which is useless since anything worth it, like FoxTel, you have to pay an extra subscription for anyway.
The camera is controlled by a combination of the kernel and radio firmware. Even if the DHD camera was backwards compatible (software-wise) you would still have to make modifications to make the higher settings available.
If your video recording doesn't even start then you need to update your radio firmware to a more recent one. The original radio that shipped with NextG phones (they're still shipping 2.1 as far as I know) did not allow the camera to work with 2.2+ roms.
Functional video recording has nothing to do with the SD card unless you're trying to record 720p content and the SDCard doesn't write fast enough. But it'll just "lag" in that case. Recording at a lower resolution will still work.

You'll find that the unmetered content has to do with the APN you use, and the browsers User Agent string. If you use the telstra.iph APN (no proxy details etc), and set your User Agent string correctly (cant recall the exact one required, but you can set it via the browsers debug menu), you can use any ROM you like and enjoy the unmetered content all the same
Worked perfectly fine with stock LeeDroid (not t-mod leedroid) and InsertCoin (Sense HD) roms

[Q] Would this be useful at all to us?

http://www.google.com/products/cata...a=X&ei=R7nuTe3OO4nGsAOBsuz_Bg&ved=0CEYQ8wIwAQ
It would fit, obviously, but would there be any possiblity of using this for doing video out or screen mirroring or anything?

It sure would be cool to be able to play HD video recorded on the phone, on your HDTV at home. The thing is, I don't think the MT4G has the ability to output video through the micro USB. If I'm wrong, that'd be awesome though.

It says Galaxy S. Samsung wired their microUSBs to be able to do this. HTC did not.

They changed it. Yesterday they mentioned several HTC models, that's the OP thought it was relevant to us.

To be honest I didn't really know anything about these cables. I was just wondering if our phones were capable of using these to any capacity.

[Q] Can i use my HOX as NFC/mifare card reader

Hello members,
I have a question: Can i use my HTC One X as a Mifare/NFC Card reader trough the USB cable? I don't want to buy a card reader for that.
I have it rooted
Thanks,
Tim

Should work, ..I don't know exactly because I don't use those things...but normally nearly all should work with otg etc
Gesendet von meinem HTC One X mit Tapatalk 2

Yeah, it'll work i think. But my main problem is that i dont have the right "tools" to connect my HOX NFC sensor to my pc, via my HOX USB port.

Try to use Google Search....maybe you need an app for that...so try to search in Google ...for example nfc card reader android or so...just use your fantasy or so xD
Gesendet von meinem HTC One X mit Tapatalk 2

I'll try to find something,
thanks!

Have you found something that works? I am also interested in using HOX as nfc reader/writer. I guess for the same reason .

Nope didn't found something. Not even close to something that might work. If we want this we must make our own tools. But then we are world first . If you found something, i'm interrested!! Thanks

[Q] Don't judge me. Ace 2 OTG?

Does Ace 2 support OTG?
I've looked everywhere for info and all I found was some stone age posts. Has anything changed? I have cyanogenmod 10.2 (adapted for Ace 2) which has OTG function, it just doesn't work.... properly. When I plug USB stick, nothing happens. When I plug my gamepad, light turns on, but nothing happens. I have an adapter that was bought for Nexus 3, used for Galaxy S3 and S4 (I saw posts saying that you need specific adapter, so i'm just throwing that info in).
Edit: Also, when i turn OTG function on, phone thinks it's charging. Even when I plug in and out charger itself.
Ty for any info in advance and I won't forget to push that Thanks button.

Nope. No OTG on ACE II.

Could you link me to the project?

Only power works, and that's been possible since D-Kernel I think...
People have said the problem is all in the kernel configuration, no proof on whether that's true
---------
In fact I don't think any released ROM, 2.x or 4.x, even supports dock mode (or maybe that's due to the very poor resistors I used... a CM based rom even stopped accepting USB until the next reboot...)

Cocafe already tried to make OTG working but he failed AFAIK
