Connecting USB Key or USB HDD to One X

Hi Guys.
Loving the ability to hook the HTC one x via MHL > HDMI to the bigscreen.
Does anyone know any news on the ability to hook either a USB key or a USB HDD to the one x.
I understand that the one x hardware supports host mode, but no softare does at this point. From reading a few other posts around the web, there was some scepticism as to whether it ever would.
I personally would love to be able to take the one X and hook up extra storage for movies etc
Any change cyanogen or miui will support this ??

Doesn't work, tried it with mine (also others confirm it doesn't presently work). Even if HTC never enable it I'm sure custom ROMs will eventually.

I could Be Wrong But Does Leedroid's One X Rom Support it in his latest update?
Might be worth a look?
Thanks

I'll get my USB OTG cable tomorrow if I'm lucky. Will report back
Try something like USB Mass Storage Watcher (market: OTG version or non-OTG (I use this on my Toshiba Thrive, which has a full size USB port ).
It does have this warning:
USB Mass Storage Watcher OTG Market Page said:
---- ATTENTION ----
This will only work on rooted devices and requires a kernel that has the ums enabled. An OTG cable is required for using usb keys. It also requires a kernel with ums enabled and modules for ntfs/hfs/hfs+ etc.

Really? It doesn't works on the unrooted stock ROM? I saw Note 2 doing it in stock ROM even with a cheap cable...

You are replying to a thread 7 months old... It works on stock JB now.

what about use usb device + mhl (hdmi) output?
is it possible in official JB rom, use mouse+keyboard and hdmi output simultaneously?

Which cable do I need to do this? I have now stock JB... A cheep one, please!

Confirmed that HOX with stock JB Rom directly connect with USB storage perfectly by any OTG USB cable.

and no one can't check it?

Probably not possible. I've never seen an MHL cable that also has usb slot.

MHL to HDMI cable has USB for external power supply.

[Q] HTC One X USB OTG. How???

So, I preordered the HTC One X, bought an OTG adapter, an MHL cable and an Xbox 360 wired controller.
Why? So I could hook them all up and play games on my TV.
I think you can see where this is going...
There are many people here asking how to enable USB OTG, but as far as I can see, no clear solution.
Please help, I was so gutted to find it wouldn't work.
Info: Stock 1.28, Unlocked Downloader, CWM, root.

There is no USB OTG as standard though there are some kernels being developed.

The best bet will be get the source for your kernel and compile the necissary modules... At least, I think...

I saw a Kernel called Eternity mod which claimed to enable USB host mode, but after flashing it did not make any difference to whether or not it detects anything..

Hi,
I wonder is there a way to have USB OTG (like Galaxy S3) on One X ?
If so, please guide me the process.

Oh and regardless you can't use MHL and USB OTG at the same time.

How can it be????

samsung s3 works with android 4.0
one x works with android 4.0
why does one of them support OTG, one not. HOW?
same question about video calling over 3G (not via internet)

there is no usb otg as of now for htc one x, but we might get one in future.
afaik the htc one x hardware allow usb otg, but somehow htc has blocked it due to some silly reasons.
but i think so it will be enabled in kernel 3.1..

it depends on the kernel, not on android version.

USTB OTG on htc one x

THE Galaxy s3 as we already know has usb otg function and I m pretty sure that HTC one x has a decent motherboard 2 support it 2 ...we have eternity kernel but with external power source ..Is anyone trying 2 develop such kernel that runs usb devices without external power source?Please look into it as its a shame 2 have such a wonderful device nd not be able to get usb otg on it:crying:

It's coming with the JB update next month

There are people that posted screenshots with ARHD EB able to do it ... Try it out

[Q] Micro USB to Ethernet Port Adapter for Galaxy note 2

Just wondering if there anything out there that would work? Is there drivers within Jelly bean that would allow me to do this? Any help would be appreciated.

Could you use a otg cable and a normal usb to ethernet adapter? Don't know if something like this is supported though.

But why u want something like that while u have wifi and kies air? What thinga u canot do through wifi?

I don't want to use WiFi because i don't. Simple as that.
Have anyone found something to solve this problem?

Yeah,
That would be a welcome feature if possible. Can't get wifi everywhere.
Cheers

Yea, I just tried it right now as I just received my usb-on-the-go and did not work. Its the same usb to ethernet dongle that I've used on my Transformer. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003VSTDFG)
I am hopefully getting the dock for this thing and wanted to use this as a full blown computer with ethernet. Hopefully someone can get it to work.

It might work but might have to be built right in the kernel...hmmm...looks interesting though.

My Note 2 will actually light up the USB Ethernet adapter and show a link to the network switch, but there doesn't seem to be any 'Ethernet' connection usage option with the Note 2 as of yet. I was under the impression by default Ethernet functionality was part of ice cream sandwich and jelly bean, but it appears Samsung has removed it.

My experience has been exactly the opposite. Most Android kernels (and almost all stock ones) do not come with drivers that support most Ethernet chipsets, even kernels that support OTG. While these drivers are usually easy to find in Linux source code, very few flashable kernels compile them in (It's not hard if the kernel builder chooses to include them in the build tree).
I have two inexpensive USB Ethernet dongles and have had a very hard time making either work. While waiting, I have resorted to getting a small traveller's portable Ethernet hotspot/router such as the TP-Link WR3020. That works fine and has the benefit of supporting multiple devices off one Ethernet drop without needing a switch.

There are still many hotels and offices that use wired Ethernet and don't have wifi. So if you want to replace a laptop with an N2, sometimes you need to be places where there is an Ethernet drop, but no wifi (and either your SIM card doesn't work where you are, or roaming is horrendously expensive).
If you travel frequently, it can happen often enough that you need either an Ethernet network adaptor, or a small wifi router.
Also: even if not travelling, you can't break into a wired connection quite as easily as a wireless one. Wired is often faster and certainly more secure.

I need this Ethernet-over-USB functionality. I believe it is called CDC-ECM. When I have built a Linux kernel in the past it was included with option "Multi-purpose USB Networking Framework"
Does anyone know of a kernel for Note2 (N7100) that supports this?

I asked the same question. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2115186&highlight=ethernet
And no one answered. I need this functionality too. It seems nobody can help.
It`s only way to ask ROM builder to add these features to their products, i think.

up for this thread.. i need this functionality also

To confirm the above:
Yearsterday I received USB to RJ45 LAN Ethernet HUB internet Adapter (ebay.com/itm/USB-to-RJ45-LAN-Ethernet-HUB-internet-Adapter-for-google-Android-Tablet-pad-Tab-/250894821624)
It does not work with my Note 2 (GT-N7100, Omega v12 - XXDMB2), although it works great with ASUS PadFone2 and with desktop (windows7 64).

I don't understand peoples who make things more complicated that can be...when u can find so many small wifi router even with mobile battery.in a wire LESS world u want to use meters of wires for what?it's a mobile phone not a desktop pc with so many wires.

Micro USB to Ethernet Port Adapter for Galaxy note 2
Hi folks
usb to ethernet seems to work on Android for some, I guess hardware and operating system (embedded drivers?) have to match this device
For my Asus Transformer I can use their ethernet adapter by simply plug it in.
On my Samsung Note 2 JB 4.1 nothing happens...
Would rooting help?
Anyone managed to have it work?
I know that wifi is a much easier method but it's good to know it doesn't work on this device :laugh:
Sorry for my bad english, I'll try to improve
these items works on the Transformer with JB 4.1

I don't understand people, who think: if i don't need it, nobody need it.
I bought note to use it on work. Ideally it should be used instead of a laptop.
The problem is that I am not allowed, for safety reasons, to use wireless link.
And actually it interesting to make it work.
But thanks for the tip, in other way it can be useful.

As discussed above it did not work with N2.
I think Renthal (message #8) and el56 (message #9) are right.
We need kernel for Note2 (N7100) that supports this feature.
But still nobody has found the ROM or Kernel for GT-N7100, which correctly work with USB Ethernet adapter.
Only root will not help.

I have a second device, a Nexus 7, which (unlike my N2) is rooted. The stock kernel in the Nexus 7 does not support Ethernet-over-USB, and many third-party kernels also do not. However, I did find one kernel -- "Bricked" -- that did. Since installing that kernel, that device now works very well over wired using a $2 OTG cable and a $4 USB Ethernet adaptor (both bought on eBay)
(That setup actually worked in a real-world situation - a hotel in Beijing, that has only wired Internet - in which a Wifi Ethernet router didn't work because of post-connection login requirements.)
This experiences confirms the contention that the drivers for Ethernet-over USB are *available* for Android kernels, but that stock kernels (and most auxilliary ones) have chosen not to implement them. The answer for Note 2 users is to convince Samsung (or, more likely, custom kernel builders) to enable Ethernet drivers that already exist.

I remember seeing patches for Honeycomb stock kernels for numerous devices that add alot of drivers. It maybe feasible to compile the kernel modules and insmod them, if we have kernel sources. Do we have them? Hellllllooooo?!
And I'd like to have this functionality. To all people wondering why one would need to use such *cough* ancient *cough* technology as wires:
At my workplace there is no 3G coverage (hell, it struggles to connect to EDGE, falling back to GPRS, voice calls also suck), and we're not allowed to use any kind of WiFi or Bluetooth or any other radio, including wireless mouse/keyboards (corporate industrial network sucks all the channels, anyway), but we're supplied with wired, unfiltered network going straight to internet, just for sake of having internet on our devices (my work consists of cycles 1-2 hours of intense coding, and 1-2 hours of empty waiting for tests), so we won't get bored to death. So.... I want my ethernet dongle working! http://freeware.info.pl/software.html

Yeah, I really need that feature too.
I have 2 young daugthers and my wife doesn't want to hear about wifi or 3G at home, cause of health concerns.
And in addition, I work in a company where wireless connections are not allowed for security reasons.
So Ethernet connection through USB adaptateur is almost the only option for me.
But isn't it possible to install drivers on an androids smartphone, as we usually do on PC ?
(Sorry for the newb question)

4.4.2 enables USB audio out!

Well I am extremely happy right now.
It turns out that with an OTG cable, my 4.4.2 RAZR M can suddenly output audio via USB to my Fiio E17 amplifier. I can finally ditch the 2G iPod touch I have been clinging to for years.

Awesome. Will test with a Droid 3 dock as well

I am just starting to explore the possibilities of using my M for high quality audio. Does the above work without root, custom rom, etc.? I am not rooted and am bootloader locked and need to remain that way.
Are there any decent guides available on the net on this topic? I have been doing a lot of googling and trying to piece things together but haven't found a good consolidated source for information.
Thanks much.

Worked before I even rooted, all stock. Just used and OTG cable and connected it to my DAC/AMP.

Is there a USB sound standard I should be looking for to find devices that work? Or does it work with any USB sound device?

It's called 'class compliant' USB audio device.
If it works on Windows, Macintosh etc. without the need to install a device specific driver, it's probably class compliant.
Btw., the support for OTG connected class compliant USB DACs has been present in CM builds for Razr M/HD family since September 2013.

That is true, but seeing as I need Bluetooth in all its glory and some other things that never seemed to work right in CM11, I am glad to see it in a stock build

:good: Was able to pick up for a whopping $1.04 shipped, a USB audio dongle from eBay which works great, but needs external power.
Now if only I could get PodMode to work, I'd have a perfect 1-plug replacement for an old iPod.
