Has anyone been able to use DFRouter in USB Disk mode? It's there, but doesn't seem to do much on my HD7 when I tap USB Disk.

Hi
i am sure for alot of people out they have searched for something to make their usb devices work on a pocket PC. i have gathered some information with regard to this topic and i hope that other users will add to it so that there is a greater awareness and mayb it will help someone figure out the best way to create 1 for the PPC
right now the there is no external USB host controller for pocket pc.
the reason we need the USB host is so that we can connect external USB devices. but i believe that we also need to load the drivers for devices as well.
wat i think is the way the device should work is the usb host for ppc should have drivers built into it so that when u connect a flash drive for example it can identify it and then send the necessary info into the PPC so that the PPC will then handle it in the correct manner. thereafter on the PPC we will probably find it as an additional drive.
I think that connectivity will actually work via the SDIO and not via the USB port.
If there are any other senior members that can elaborate on this it will be great, it will shed some more light on this feature.
I personally would love to have this feature, not for any specific external device but just the ability to have interoperability with all my usb devices onto my PPC.

there are usb host CF cards i believe
not sure if anybody ever made to test in a himalaya backpack which have a CF card
thing with usb devices is that usb mass storage one 1 generic driver
so one for external hd's sdreaders and usb keyring would be enough
CF USB host
Hi
http://www.ratocsystems.com/english/products/subpages/cfu1u.html
do you think that it can be converted from CF to SDIO ?
I actually searched for a CF to SDIO converte but no luck, however even if i do find it what are the chance that it will even work!!
anybody knows more about this ?
reo
it could easy brake because of the size diff
another problem is it would require 2.5watt to power a usb host
not sure if the sd interface can provide that kinda power at all
ok, but considering that we can overlook these obstacles will the converter actually allow for the CF USB to work ?
do you no where i can find a CF to SDIO converter ?

I've got a question about "USB Host" as well... I read somewhere, that some processors are capable of USB Host but the companies didn't do the wiring in their devices. and of course the drivers are missing in Win CE.
So my question is: Can I connect USB-Devices to my PDA if I build a USB-wire where I inject 5V from outside and run linux on my device with USB-support built in the kernel?
Is there a way to ply the TP2 into a desktop USB running XP and have the ability to access the storage card or the device? Do not want to Install Active Sync. Maybe just want to copy some files or something without having to remove the storage card.
If you plug the device into your computer, you should see a selection screen that gives you the option for ActiveSync, Disk Drive, and Internet Sharing. Simply choose the second option and the MicroSD card will be mounted in Windows as a removable disk. If this dialog does not pop up, go to Start>Settings>Connections>USB to PC and choose the Disk Drive mode. The only limitation of this is that your PC can only access the MicroSD (not the internal NAND), and the device cannot access the MicroSD while it is mounted in Windows. However, file transfers will be noticably faster than with ActiveSync, and ActiveSync will not actually be needed to access the device. HTH
......Amen
Thanks. I had forgotten about the USB Connections settings and I had it set to always ActiveSync. Changed it to "ask" and I can access the storage card. Would love to look at the file on the device, but guess you need activesync or some software on the desktop for that. thanks again.

You meant to say "Plug and Pray" instead of "Plug and Play"?
I've tried checking and unchecking the ask option, but I do not get the popup when I plug in my usb cable. I can't activeSync. The only hints that the computer even recognizes it is the ding of plugging it in/out and "PocketPC USB Sync" shows up under Mobile Devices in device manager.
EDIT: I can get it to work as Disk Drive, just not as ActiveSync.

do you have activesync (windows mobile device center?? for vista) software installed on you desktop?
i run xp and have activesync 4.5 on my desktop. i had problems but then noticed my mini usb cable was not secure. i have my device set to charge when connected usb and the charge light was not always amber. found a better cable and used a different usb on my computer (the problem was with the connection to the desktop). that has fixed all my activesync problems.
but i have had problems in the past with the dialog box not popping upasking if i want active sync or disk drive. some people say there tp2 has a third option os internet sharing, mine does not. try a soft reset, check the cable, uninstallin and reinstall the desktop software and see what happens. oh yeah, what are your setting under activesync on your device, in programs?

Which OS are you using?
Also, there is a setting in the communications setup - USB to make the Activesync connection slow or fast. Try the slow setting.

at some point when you plugged in your device, did you happen to select the option that says "never ask again" if so, you will get no notification that it's plugged in. Active sync page wont even open. That's how I got mine set up 'cause I got tired of always having to select whether I want to do Active sync or disk drive.
Is it possible to connect a memory card to the Evo's USB connector and be able to access files on that card? It would be nice to use the Evo to access photos on my camera when I don't have a computer handy. I don't want to open the Evo and swap cards.
I don't think there is any way right now. Probably would need drivers to access the usb port. I know it's been tried on winmob to no success.

We need some usb host drivers and some other shiz.
Wow, I didn't know.
Hi,
is it possible to disable the MTP connections automatically established when pluging the Nexus in?
I wouldn't want a public computer I might connect my Nexus to for charging to be able to read my storage.
I know I can switch it to camera, but that's just a workaround. With "normal" Android devices (with an sd-card), you always need to hit "enable usb mass storage", it would be nice if there were some option like that in the Nexus.

Thanks!
How does that affect the MTP, though? Still possible? How about adb or any other kind of connectivity?
I'm having trouble getting my windows 7 pc to detect my nexus 5x. It doesn't even show up on the device manager. I bought a USB C to A adapter and I'm wondering if it's the adapter that's causing the issue? How are you guys connecting your phones to your pc's? I can't even pull it up as a removable storage device to transfer files let alone unlock the bootloader.

When you plugged it in did you go to Notifications and change from Charging Mode to MTP?
I actually had to uninstall the driver software and let my laptop "find" it again and all was fine.
