You are awesome.
yeah, it would be possible to attach any USB device (like on your pc) to the Phone (USB Flash Drive, Keyboard, Mouse, ......... )
cables
I could only find cables in china has anyone seen any for sale in the uk ?
you can make the micro USB to USB 'A' cable with a few bits and a soldering iron or some electrical tape. They seem to be scarce over here so thats what i plan on doing.
i have a "female - female" USB Cable here. if i plug this in my normal micro USB-Cable will this work?
Desire -> Micro-USB-Cable -> Female - Female-USB-Cable -> USB-Keyboard
I ordered from the ebay guy he adivised on his site
@kingchris
Nah this wont work. The reason he uses the powered hub and the special power cable is because the phone itself doesnt give out 5v like a normal USB port so devices are having to steal it from elsewhere.
So with your keyboard setup, the data lines will be connected but it will have no power.
so a normal Micro-USB cable to a USB-HUB and then to the keyboard?

Dont know if you even need the hub. Its the special dual ended power cable you need. Just need some way to pump 5v down towards the keyboard. *i think*

Here a link to a company selling the power cable. Based in Surrey.
i think it will work if you don't plugin as much devices as the guy in the video.
you can use one of these to convert your existing Charging Cable to a Female Port
Amazon.de
or
Amazon.co.uk
Edit: kay, not sure if the gender changer is all you need
Hi,
I've been wanting to hook up my desire hd to usb hosting and have not been able to find a cable for it.
I was wondering would it be ok if i connected a micro usb (male) to usb b (printer version) (female) adapter
to a,
standard printer cable with usb female at the end?
This would result in one end being a micro usb male and the other end a female usb
I look forward to your answers
Thanks alot for reading
That probably wont work.
I in fact saw an article yesterday, but can't recall the link. (Will look now).
IIRC, you need to modify the USB cable somewhat to get the DHD's USB port to detect an OTG connection.
Edit:
Here we go: http://gigaom.com/mobile/how-to-add-a-usb-keyboard-to-an-android-phone/
I think if the software supports usb host mode, with a 'micro usb type a' to 'usb type b' cable you can connect to a usb device. That is if the DHD is equiped with 'micro usb type ab' receptacle.
oh wow, ok thanks ever so much!!,
however, i just need to confirm what three cables you need so i can go out and buy them, i need:
Car charging cable (which one is this?)
Micro-usb cable (is this with the microusb male on one end and a standard usb male on the other end?)
USB extender cable (is this with one usb male and usb female on the other end?)
thanks

I have no idea really, but if you are successful, let us know
I'm just having trouble understanding what cables are needed.
On the website you gave me, it says i need:
a car charging cable, a micro USB cable and a USB extender cable.
Is this effectively two micro usb cables and a USB extender cable?
or does one HAVE to come from a car charging kit?
please help!!
thanks

Nice find! I did see the mini one only
Gonna order and try it out. No great financial loss if it does not work.
Obviously we will need a USB Host module for the kernel if not already present. Will check tonite.
i've finally made my host cable!!!
i now need micro-usb dongle host module. Is this where you have to get hold of a car charger and get the end of it and unsolder bits?
The USB Host module is software. It is loaded by the Linux kernel.
ok well i need to get that too.
Also, whats the bit with the car charging cable? what that for?
I'd be really interested in this as well. Would be awesome if i could just connect a usb drive or my camera to my phone to copy data.
So does anyone know if a host driver is available for the desire hd.
I really have no idea how it would work, but it should, as loads of tablets are able to use 3G-Sticks to connect.
Today I recieve my USB Host adapter cable for the DHD.
When I plug it into the DHD and connect a USB Hub the car panle ("Auto Bedienfeld") starts.
Connecting a USB Keyboard to the USB Hub doesn't show any impact. But this is what I have expected. Next I try to integrate the patch from sonic74 to a kernel for the DHD.
http://sven.killig.de/android/N1/2.2/usb_host/
At the moment I use Android Revolution HD 2.0.9
Any progress?
I really like the USB host future on my Desire HD,
I want to connect my USB Drive to my DHD if this is possible? So i have 16GB More storage if needed ;D
I've ordered the converter thing from dealextreme, someone that could make a flashable zip to enable usb host functions?
Was also quite interested on this.
My wish is to connect my dSLR to the phone, and move all jpgs/nefs from there to a internal card. Or copy, and use the device for better visualisation.
As the camera has its internal battery, power shouldn't be a issue. It would be awesome
I am still working on this.
At the moment it is working for a short time, but then there a same errores.
This meens it should be possible, but same more research must be done.
My Kernel is based on the BUZZ 1.3.7 Kernel, and following patches:

Quick Q: What did you connect? Or you didn't connect anything ?
I am thinking of buying that cable
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB2-0-A-...aCables_JN&hash=item2c6351bea1#ht_1388wt_1185
just for connecting usb sticks-i dont expect a hard disk to be able to connect to wildfire- but i dont't know if it will work.
Do you guys believe that will work?
Probably won't work
I don't think the Wildfire's MicroUSB is USB host capable.
I have found that it must be enabled from the kernel. I dont know if theres such a kernel in wildfire.
Can someone upload photo for his usb cable from inside, because I think there is problem with my usb cable
Blimey, get a new one, they are not expensive. Any micro usb cable will do.
This mean any micro usb will work well not special one ! Right
Yep , I use whatever I have to hand. HTC, Samsung, official. It's just a standard micro usb to usb cable.
Hi, may i know if there is USB OTG support for Note 10+? I cannot use OTG on my device, is it hardware problem? or software problem?

This thread prompted me to check the OTG for myself, I have USB 3.0 dongle that I haven't used for a while - all is good, it works.
This dongle doesn't require additional, supporting apps, I just plugged it in and it showed as a drive right on.
I dont't know if it qualifies an OTG device, but I used my Flir cam with the Note 10+ and it works. Since it is a micro usb connection, I had to get a micro to USB C adapter and it specifically requires an OTG rated or compatible connector. The regular micro usb to USB C adapters don't work.

It does work, every combination I tried. Not a necessity to even have a designated OTG dongle:

For a Flir One? I was specifically talking about attaching a Flir. It is a specific requirement to make it connect to a USB C device.
For data transfer, charging, or other connections, I can use any micro usb to C adapter.

Micro USB Android Owners: Have an Android device with micro-USB connector but want a USB-C device? Please be sure to add the Duttek Type C OTG Adapter, USB C Female to Micro USB Male OTG (On the Go), to your cart before purchasing. It can also be purchased from Amazon.com.

No, not specifically. I was referring to OP question in general terms. Sorry if I misled you.
i tried plugging in my USB OTG pendrive, there is no notification that it detects the drive. could it be a regional firmware problem?

Shouldn't make any difference, it's OS ability to do these things. In my case I just plug it into USB and it shows in "My files" app.
How is your pendrive formatted, is it FAT32? My microSD drives for Android are all formatted as FAT32 I even found a way to format 64 and 126GB to FAT32. Can't use it for full movies though. If you have another microSD around try to format it as FAT32 and see if that works.
Also, see if it helps when you change the default settings for connected USB devices.
