[Q] Does the One X have USB host mode?

I haven't ordered my One X yet, but I was wondering if it's possible to plug in a USB keyboard (with an adapter obviously)?
Thanks!
Billy

Ive tried to do this with an adapter but it doesnt pick up anything, maybe im doing it wrong or else HTC doesnt have it in the ROM

Hardware is capable but it's not coded into the kernel. Expect this feature to appear fairly quickly once kernel source is available and people start work on custom roms.

As much as I want to believe that, I'm curious what makes you so sure it'll get added to the custom features list? I ask because somebody wrote drivers for the Nexus One two years ago and it's yet to be baked into any kernals (that I know of). Honestly, I've always been surprised that more people didn't see the value in the feature.
Thanks for the reply!

Have you tried it with a powered USB hub out of curiosity (i.e. connect One X as source device to a powered USB hub, plug device you want to use like keyboard/mouse/hard drive/etc. to hub)? The One X may not supply enough power from its USB port to power all devices.

Just tried.. Doesn't seems to work (with a USB keyboard). But the one X started to recharge

There is a custom rom already with USB host:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1640532

According to the comments in that thread it still doesn't work. I've tried it myself with no success using powered USB hub.

USB-OTG is still in development phase from what I've read. Give it awhile and devs would get it fixed

HTC released JB 4.1 kernel sources recently..
so will it be possible to connect USB keyboard?

Sure, and mouse too.

Thanks!
Sorry for a little OT, but is it possible to make an USB keyboard with battery than will charge my tablet/smartphone?

Don't know. I guess you can if you know how to solder. See post below.

Won't work. Though you could charge over the pogo pins.

[Q] Micro USB to USB Adapter

Hi I was wondering if a micro usb to usb adapter such as this one would work with our LG Nitro HD. I'm currently using CM9 nightlies as my rom.

Don't see why it wouldn't but what's the purpose?

Almost all of my medical textbooks are pdfs, so being able to copy from a friends pen drive a pdf to my phone so I can later copy it to my laptop at home is a major plus for me . I went ahead and purchased it anyways, so I'll report back if it works or not

So I finally got my usb-otg adapter. I plugged it in and tried a numerous amount off usb apps with no success. I wasn't able to use stickmount since the play store told me that it isn't compatible with my device. I haven't tried sideloading stickmount though. I'm running CM9 stable, not sure if it works with the stock roms or with JB.

I've never seen any indication that the Nitro HD supports USB-OTG. It's not listed in the spec sheets I've checked at least.

My hdmi adapter works fine in CM9, so I don't think you should have any problems if you switch to CM9.

[Q] MHL to HDMI function not working

I've used the newer Roms on the dev threads but I have not found anyone that can use the MHL to HDMI converter. Is there an app that can re--enable this? The stock rom can do this but not the recent roms.

MHL won't work on stock rom cause this phone use slimport by default.

I'm running CM10.1 (one of the latest nightlies) and the MHL is fully functional via HDMI cable.
Remember that you have to connect power supply to the converter in order to make it work.

Tried on latest cm10.1 stable and it works great.

RootBox supports MHL. And I've successfully used an MHL-to-HDMI converter from monoprice.com to show/play local pics, local videos, local music, and YouTube on our HDTV.
Haven't tried MHL on any other ROMs.
Sent through the magic of an LG Optimus G (E971) running RootBox 4.2.2.

Confirm to work on stock JB 10D rom. I bought my MHL adapter almost 2 years ago,from dealxtreme.com,for my old galaxy s2. I sold the phone,but i kept the adapter for my next phones.It seems to be working ok. It's a cheap adapter,paid 10bucs for it.They even gave me an USB OTG adapter with it .

Thanks for the feedback. I'll try connect this again tonight. I've updated to Liquid smooth rom (this should also function as with the raw CM 10.1). I'll post my result by then. thanks.

I tried to plug it again but no progress. It still doesn't recognize the connection. I'm now using RootBox rom.

Try with stock. Don't report non working features with custom roms,you do realise we can't help there, right?

As i used it on cm10.1there were no notifications about connected in notification bar or in phone itself.
But its surely working, just plug the micro USB to your phone, the HDMI to your TV and charger to socket and change the channel in tv to hdmi1 or hdmi2..... depends on where you have pluged in your HDMI. And you should See your phone in TV.
And again, you will get no notifications that it is connected to phone or tv, on mine was the same, but works 100%. Just plug everything together and choose right channel.

Which build of RootBox? MHL was only added in the middle of June, I believe. Defintely works on the June 21 build, haven't checked the June 24 build that I'm currently running, but it should work.
Which MHL adapter are you using? Does it has a full-sized USB plug as well as the micro-USB and HDMI? Is the USB plugged into anything?
I found the one I have won't work unless the full-sized USB plug is connected to the TV as well as the HDMI plug (needs it for power).

RootBox Rom June26 build. I was using a Samsung brand MHL to HDMI adapter. It was working with the stock rom. looks like this one :
http://mag.divineo.cn/magento/mc-mhla.html

The resolution of mhl on cm10.1 is 1080p and cannot be changed.
If your TV is not FullHD, you may get no signal.

Could you guys direct me to an adapter that will work with LG OG? I'm looking to buy one, but am a little confused. Some say Samsung adapters will work, but I've read online that there are different versions (difference in PIN's?). Which version should I buy 5 pin or 11 pin. Does th MHL version matters, 1.0 or 2.0 ?

11 pin is for Samsung, will not work.
Mine actually is from Energizer brand (brings a 11 pin adapter too) , I had another one before.
I think that every MHL 5 pin will work.

Does anyone of you guys know if slimport works on our phones? maybe thats the reason mhl isn't working on newer roms(Android4.3)

Me, too!

I have the same problem. I used the MHL adapter (ETAOUIOUBE adapter) with the stock rom and when I changed to CM 10.2.0 it stoped working.
Can someone help? It's a feature I used to use a lot and I'm thinking on going back to stock just for this feature :crying:
Thanks!

[Q] Find 7 via OTG into USB DAC. Will it work?

Looking to output signal out of the phone into my USB DAC. It works with my current phone, quite well.
If I'm to buy this Find 7 I need to know that it will work first. Anybody have any experience with this?

If I remember correctly find7 doesn't support USB OTG at all. Someone can correct me if I remember wrong

The Find 7 supports OTG, but if it's supports a DAC, I don't know, I've only used for usb storage, keyboard and mouse.

My mistake. It was MHL then that was missing

I'll let you know if it works with my DAC, soon, as my phone is slated for delivery today.
MHL, what is that? Hi-rez video out to an external device?
