Hello overyone
In near future I'll recieved my new HTC wildfire s but could find info about
USB possbility it's mean that usb can menage flashmemory, memory card reader, keyboard, mouse and other.
If USB has only client. how I can connect other type memory card then micro sd

Hi,
I am in the process of selecting a photo storage device - basically a portable hard disk with a USB connector. However I'd like to use the screen on my XDA to view photos on the device (and use other files on there).
Is there an adapter available that will let my XDA IIi read the USB device via its MMC/SD slot, or any other way to read such a device?
Many thanks for any help or advice ...
the xda's cant do usb host
but with xda2's you may be able to get the backpack and then use
a CF usb host card
but i never heard about anybody who did it
i dont know if the xda2 backpack works with xda2i
and i never heard about a SD card which had usb host
SD card
My own experience has been as follows.
I have a 1GB SD card and a small card reader with USB connection.
If I transfer JPEGs from PC or camera onto SD and then put SD into XDAII. I cannot view them on the XDA.
If I put SD card into XDAII and, it into cradle, I can drag and drop JPEGs via Active synch from PC to XDAII onto SD card and can view them on XDA and also when I remove SD card and place in reader connected to PC. So nearly universal create/view. After Activesynch coversion files appear to be same where JPEG used but something must be different.
Hope this helps.

Yes but you need 3rd party software.
Card Export II PPC. Works very fine.

Hi. Can you give detailed information about using BA as a usb host? (hardware, software, how to... etc.) Thnx.
Note: In fact I want to use, for example, my usb keyboard or usb hdd on my BA. Is it possible?
card export II enable you to use your BA (any wm device) as mass storage with memory card.
evoluzzione wants to connect a usb flash drive on his BA.
is there something like sd to usb adapter? which connects usb devices to sd ports.
special SD cards has either wifi or usb plug.
The computers at my work have allow connection via USB cables but no active sync. On my P3300 all that happens is the battery is charged.
Other peoples mobile phones have the facility to switch from Phone mode to "data mode". This then allows their phones memory card to be read like an external drive or memory stick. Files etc. can then be transferred.
Is there a way to do this on my P3300 ?
Yes, there is a program called WM5Storage that makes the P3300 microSD memorycard behave as a USB stick. No need for active sync: detected as USB memory upon connecting P3300 to computer via USB.
If googling here for WM5Storage unsuceesfull, try www.modaco.com.
(not withstanding the wm5 name,it works also in wm6 P3300)
I have a problem, that I hope someone here can help me with.
I have 2 devices, a digital camera and a phone:
- Canon Powershot G10
- HTC Touch Diamond
The Diamond is capable enough that I don't always need to take a laptop with me when I am travelling. But I still need to transfer pictures from the camera to the internet. The phone can upload to the internet if only I could get the pictures onto the phone! So I want to find a way to transfer selected pictures from the camera to the phone *without* using a computer.
As I can see it, there are several different ways to go about this, but I haven't found a solution yet:
1) Find a device similar to the iPod Camera Connector that would let me connect the camera to the phone via USB. Note that it is not enough to have a device that copies all photos. I need to select which photos will be copied. Copying 16GB of pictures onto the 4GB phone is not an option.
2) Find an SD card reader that can connect to the HTC Touch diamond directly.
3) Find a bluetooth adapter for the camera that will allow file transfers.
4) Find some way (hardware and/or software) to make the phone work like a PictBridge-compatible printer, so that I can "print" selected photos from the camera to the phone.
5) Find some software and/or hardware that will make the phone work as a USB host. If that was possible, reading SD cards is trivial.
I have searched and searched for solutions to this problem but so far without a result.
Needless to say, the solution needs to be both cheaper than a laptop and especially smaller and lighter than a laptop. Otherwise I could just bring a laptop.
I hope someone here can help me realize the full potential of my HTC Touch Diamond!
Best regards,
Mikkel
without usbHost nothing can make the usb connector in the diamond be
and activeparty
it can interduce itself to the camera as usbMasstorage but can connect itself to anything
so your camera would have to be the activepart no matter if you PictBridge, sdcardreader or iPod Camera Connector
the extUSB on your device is miniUSB input only when usbHost is not supported
plus audio out
Thank you for your reply.
As far as I know, neither the camera nor the Diamond has the capability to act as a USB host. Connecting them directly is therefore probably not an option. That is why I listed the various things that I have thought could go inbetween.
The iPod camera connector is such a device: a device that can connect 2 USB clients to each other. Unfortunately it only works on an iPod (as far as I know). I believe it may be using the USB OTG standard.
I know that a standard USB SD card reader requires a USB host to connect to. That is why I was hoping to find a non-standard SD card reader specialized for use with Windows Mobile phones or HTC phones. There is no doubt that it is possible to make such a device - I just don't know if anyone has done it. It would be useful for many purposes.
Here are some devices that come close to what I want to achieve, but not quite:
http://www.usbgo.com/
http://www.cooldrives.com/usb-otg-adapter.html
The main problem with these is that I don't see any option to select only a few photos to transfer.
So I was hoping that one of the knowledgeable people in here knew of a solution.
doubt any cable it do it as the cable it would have to init the usb connections to both devices and handle which files where to be transfered from to where
that would prob require the cable to have a screen and input option which would
pretty much make it a compuer or a pda with usbHost
my bet is that ipod have usbHost otherwise it would never work
unfortunaly the many posts in the forum about usbHost include as many hits about
usbToGo
and as much or little success
Connect a Usb host device with the camera
Hi.
Do you know how I can connect a digital camera with a device that has usb host. I own a X7501 with WM6.1. I was looking for a solution to transfer my digital photos taken in my 7 MP Sony Digital Camera to my HTC, in order to send it by mail.
Thanks for any suggestion

yes Athena is one of the few htc devices which support usbHost
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334024
it should work just fine if the camera support usbmass stroage
otherwise it require a driver for the camera
also you may have to use a cable which get power from somewhere else
then the Athena as it may not able to provide enough power
Searching for a solution!!!

Hello.
I try to connect my camera to the Athena, using the 4 in 1 cable adapter, It ask me for a driver name. I couldn't get anything.
Also I try to connect it via the docking station that has two usb ports for the USB HOST, in these I can connect a mouse and a keyboard. Also it has an external power, but the camera did nothing at all. I try to use all the connection mode that the camara has.
Also I try that some other recomend in this thread: USB Driver for Digital Camara.
I made a lot of search. Did you know somebody that can help me.
Regards.
you sugest you ask in the Athena forum
or pm some of the people who wrote in the
thread i linked to
as I don't have any first hand exp with Athena's or using usbHost
You can actually buy SD to Micro sd adaptors. I have one, they work really well.

simple answer
Get a micro sd card that has an SD adapter. Plug the micro sd card into the sd adapter and plug the sd adapter into the camera. Take your pictures. When you are ready to email pictures, pull the adapter out of the camera, remove the micro sd card, and plug it into your phone. You are ready to email pictures. Keep things simple and just carry the micro sd adapter and forget all the cables and stuff. A spare card is always handy, too.
Hello, i have bought a OTG adaptor but when i connect a USB pen to my Sony Xperia S it doesn't do anything.
I have also tested:
- USB pen FAT32
- USB pen NTFS
I know that this adaptor is working because the store owner tested it on a tablet and it worked.
Stange thing is that i tried to connect to a zte blade, Galaxy Gios and nexus 7 and it didn't work as well....
However when i connect it to the computer the adaptor works...
Stock .55
No root
Can someone advise me?
Thanks
Root your phone and download USB OTG Helper from the Play Store.

I have many FAT32 USB flash drives that work fine with my XPERIA S no problems.
I have not confirmed this myself, but it is possible the amps provided by the Sony XPERIA S(LT26i) could be as low as 100mA.[citation needed]
Can't find any documented specs for XPERIA S and USB power supplied and/or USB flash drive which also has a known documented amp draw for reference.
I'd really quite like to know what amps the XPERIA S USB port provides.
I have a USB thumb drive that doesn't work on my XPERIA S namely the HP v165w 8GB (FAT32 formatted)
It just comes up with a big red warning triangle saying, "USB Power Consumption error"
However the USB thumb drive HP c330w 8GB does work (NTFS formatted)
Many other SanDIsk FAT32 formatted USB thumb drives also work fine. Namely the SanDisk USB 2.0 Cruzer Facet 32GB
I have downloaded Paragon exFAT, NTFS & HFS+ which allows me to successfully mount NTFS formatted flash drives on my root'd XPERIA S.
My 'Desktop' FV-1 Android box with three USB ports/HDMI etc, mounts anything and everything, including the HP v165w 8GB USB thumb drive. So it just means no two Android devices are equal in design and power.
it should work anyway? I've seen a few shots and youtube movies where the USB on-the-go was working on an XS!

连接U盘需要安装一个USB存储管理器的软件(此软件需要root权限和busybox).插入OTG和优盘之后可以看到优盘的灯亮了.之后再点击连接.
这样就可以在SDcard\usbStorage 里看到优盘里的文件.
你也可以连接一个集线器.这样可以连接鼠标键盘之类的.如果你要连接功耗比较大的设备,这样就需要一个带电源的集线器.如果动手能力比较强的话,还可以直接在OTG线上剥开接上电源.
希望有懂中文的....!!!!Hope someone will Chinese!!!
Connecting U disk need to install a USB storage management software (the software requires root permissions and busybox). Insert OTG and USB flash drive's lights. Then click connect.
The USB file so that you can in SDcard \ usbStorage see.
You can also connect a hub so you can connect a mouse and keyboard like if you want to connect to a large power equipment, so that you need a powered hub. Strong practical ability, but also can directly plug in the power in OTG online peel.
this is what google translates for me! pretty weird to read like this. but maybe we can figure it out?!

In my honest option, I agree with SNYXPR, there should be no requirement for additional software on a standard build XPERIA S(LT26i) when using "supported" FAT32 formatted USB storage.
If the FAT32 formatted USB flash drive you have attached to the XPERIA S meets the power requirements you should be fine.
No software I know of is going to boost the power supplied by the MicroUSB port and at best, any application for USB storage is only able to support additional drive formats like NTFS etc.
I've had/have USB flash drives, Logitech Unifying Mouse/Keyboard attached without problems.
I've got a Galaxy Note Connection kit Model: DR03-S2 and that works fine and I'm able to read/write SD cards, MicroSD cards and USB flash drives using it without problems(one attached device in use at any one time).
If you go to the next step and use a powered USB hub, then a wider array of devices can be used with the XPERIA S as the USB hub is providing the power to connect the device. This includes USB printers and FAT32 formatted USB 80GB plus HDD (both IDE and SATA) etc. Also all those FAT32 formatted storage devices that said the XPERIA S did not meet the power requirement work too.
Remember the XPERIA S only support FAT32 formatted storage by default(natively).
As part of my desktop setup I have the following connection.
Sony DK10 dock plugged into a Aten USB switch which is connected to a powered USB Targus 7 port Hub.
This gives me access to USB mouse/keyboard, USB flash drives or USB HDD of any size, printer, SD card reader on my DELL U2410 monitor and etc.
Then it's just a button press to (USB)switch back to my Notebook, Desktop PC and any other device connected as part of my desktop environment.
Thank you for the replies, i think root is not required since i have seen a vídeo made by XperiaBlog that just connects a USB pen drive to Xperia S and it just works. I have tried a Kignston 8 GB and it doesn't connect, not event to nexus 7 ...
