Connecting USB Flash Drive to Touch

Is it possible to connect a USB Flash Drive to Touch. I want to use USB cable extender to connect the Flash Drive. Does WM6 recognize the USB Flash Drives or not?

it's a little more in depth than a cable, as yet, I have not seen anyone who has figured it out. We are not sure if the drivers for host capability exist, and you will need a speacial cable with all kinds of pulldown resistors and whatnot in order for the device to get power.

no it's the hardware usbchip which dont support it
no work around

Kinda makes me wonder why no one has come up with a small battery powered bluetooth hard drive.. That would be pretty sweet..

Seems like if it was battery powered... it would be dead in five minutes lol

They do make 'em!

I spoke to Seagate apparently they will only be selling this through the OEM channel. not directly to consumers. So I don't who would carry this and if we can buy it.
But they go upto 60GB.
Anyone knows where we can get it?
http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/products/consumer_electronics/DAVE/

a harddrive no but a flash drive should be perfectly within the usb spec this phone is built to it would just be a matter of proper drivers which probably are out their considering their are printer drivers which are much more compicated and no resistors would be required usb is a serial bidirectional interface not like cat5 their is no hardware crossover or anything required

Is there a way of accessing media files from your pc via internet and to access and use only needed files on my pda. It has to be the internet because the phone does not have wi-fi. I have a Sprint Touch. Storage has ultimatly been my problem. The bluetooth hdd sounded pretty good for my use but its not available. thanks... noob

I assume from your explanation that you are trying to use this when you are home? I would just use the Bluetooth FTP or Bluetooth browser and access the PC that way instead of using airtime.
If you want to use it while you are out then there is a device called Slingbox try googling that.
Good luck.

The MSM 7500 is the chip found in the Vogue...check out connectivity...it lists the port as USB OTG.... short for USB on the Go....which means it has limited hosting capabilities.
Even though Windows does support USB OTG Mass Storage, the problem is that the Vogue is not transmitting enough power via the USB port, which according to USB OTG regulations is OK. Which means you have to use specific selfpowered USB devices (most likely labeled as USB OTG compatible), or provide the power by yourself (splicing cable and adding correct AC adapter...).

HTC DOck
how 'bout this one:
http://www.expansys.com/htc/p_htc_item.aspx?i=145164
kinda big, and I think but here's the info:
Description
Keep the HTC Advantage at hand on a desk and at an ideal viewing angle. The docking station extends the peripheral connectivty of the Advantage and includes:
- A/V interface: VGA (15pin) port, Video out port, S-Video (4 pin) port, 3.5mm audio jack
- Charging & syncing interface: miniUSB port for power charging and synchronization, 2 x USB standard A female port (USB Host), 2nd battery charging slot
- LEDs indicators – 2nd battery, power & sync
Technical Details
(none available)
I'm experimenting with a powered USB Hub... who knows...

I want to buy an HTC Diamond and if it's possible I would use the mini usb port in it like a "host"...so (from the bottom of my lack of knowledge) I'll try to help this "project"...
If I'm not wrong USB On-The-Go is just a "chipset protocol", a feature of its and no more...the only two hdw thinks that a device must have to use it is
1) an AB type port usb (or mini usb as most pdas)
2) a circuit scheme that is able to send 5v to the pin of the port used during the "host mode"
Moreover, on the sfw side, it's necessary to have drivers that recognize and organize the host function of the port...
It's all right?
If I centered the situation I think that the only problem is the lack of 5v power to send to the pin, that's right?
In this case...why don't look (and copy) this?
Then, about the drivers matter, i think is sufficient a look to the others (a few I know) WM devices that already have a native usb host functionality...
I'm sorry if I said a lot of stupid thinks but I said before I just tried to gave an help.
PS: sorry for my english too and (because of this is my first message) Hi all!!!

www.orb.com will do what you want...you don't need a tv tuner to make use of its other capabilities.

Ok, as a lot of you maybe still know NEO1973 will have a USB host functionallity...
Infact it has a USB otg port and it will selled with this option already included.
About that I've found this page: a complete explaination to activate the host function of the port...it could be of any help?
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo1973_USB_host

2 quick points:
@dave68 - all of the pieces needed to make a USB flash drive work with the Toshiba E804 PPC (WM2003) already exist - including drivers. All I had to do to make that device work with USB Flash drive and USB HDD was use a powered hub with the WM2003 drivers installed.
@cdred - As already mentioned www.orb.com is one way to go. You will need a PC running the Orb software at home and a way to get to it (i.e. dyndns.org).
The Slingbox is another way to achieve this, or IMHO, the Buffalo LinkStation is a good choice.

Tested a thumb drive, it connected instantly and is behaving just like the SD card. Contents show up in the folder 'USB storage'.

Keyboard connected but device freezed. Had to restart the device. Will try some other keyboard. This one was a HP.

Mouse scroll wheel works too. Can scroll the page just like PC. Links or options are highlighted as the page is scrolled.

Here is a screenshot of the mouse pointer, i had keyboard connected too but i don't know how to show it on a screenshot.
I plugged in my Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse (thus connecting them simultaneously). Really happy!
I am now wondering if i can use the phone as a CPU and use my LED as a display. The input devices being connected wirelessly, it sounds do-able. Only question is how to connect the HDMI cable when the only slot is already serving input devices

I am just working on this setup, For that one need to use Bluetooth mouse and keyboard AND Samsung MHL HDMI cable.
I already had a Logitech Bluetooth mouse, and yesterday i bought Bluetooth mini keyboard which is HID and works very well with Note. Its available globally in <USD 20$.
My MHL HDMI is on the way, i should be playing around this weekend with this stuff.
Having teamviewer already configured for my work and home laptop, this should be real fun to use Note (CPU) and my HD TV

I have used MHL to TV, and bluetooth KB and Mouse for input. Works like a charm!

Hope Teamviewer doesn't disappoint - when I last tried it out it didn't support external KB/Mouse properly. Only one I've found that does is Splashtop (works really great with the MHL/BT setup like in the video in my YouTube channel).

I am looking forward to purchasing 64GB flash drive for connecting through OTG. Do you guys think it will be supported? What is the maximum size that it can support?

Note, right now, only supports FAT32 File-System.
So even if you have a 64Gig Flash drive, it will still have to be formatted in FAT32.
Windows itself does not format anything bigger than 32GB in FAT32.
Also, you can't put any files bigger than . . i am not sure, either 2 or 4 GB each on a FAT32 formatted drive.
Siyah Kernel has NTFS and CIFS support, but no Note Support yet.
Abbyss has Note support, but no NTFS and CIFS support yet i think.

My OTG cable works fine when connecting a USB stick or a card reader, I am able to use the memory on the attached card.
However, I connected the Logitech dongle for a wireless mouse but it doesn't have any effect on the Note. Am I missing some settings somewhere? I have looked but I can't find anything. I assumed some drivers would be needed for this type of connection but looking at your comments it appears you got it to work without issue.

I'm using a Transcend 16GB JetFlash USB3 thumb drive to play TV shows and general transfers to the device - I get over 20MB/s transfers from my PC to the drive over USB2, so it's quite a bit quicker than copying to internal or external SD on the Note itself.

Confirmed Working + Tutorial: USB OTG on Galaxy W

Galaxy W Users is having a major improvement! (as i feel), because Arco68 on his "[ROM][JB][JZO54K] CyanogenMod 10 ALPHA (Build 7)" Mod Thread finally enable USB OTG Support on our beloved phone, the Samsung Galaxy W
Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1990795
Basically, what does USB OTG do is to make our phone able to connect to external USB devices such as Flashdisk, Card Reader, Keyboard, Mouse, ETC. Myself has tried it with mouse, keyboard and card reader all in single usb HUB and it's works perfectly!
(to make USB Storage such as card reader or flashdisk to be recognized while connecting other devices such as mouse and keyboard, the card reader should be plugged after everything else. This way you can use keyboard and mouse, while working with your flashdisk/hdd/card reader all together)
Using external power source, as our phone doesn't supply power to the Micro USB Port

If you have spare time, the setup can even made portable by replacing the usb power adapter with

Hmmm, if a usb card reader works, i think usb stick should work because they both works quite the same way? and if a mouse works, also i think keyboard should works too. maybe you can plug usb Hub, then plug both mouse and keyboard at the same time and si if it works

I can plug keyboard and mouse to my wonder with cm10 alpha7.
If you said how can I plug flash sticks, card readers and externals, read this:
I hooked an external powered usb hub and plugged usb stick. it works
2tb external drive works with paragon ntfs mounter after some config...
what I did:
-mounted the ext.drive
-opened es file explorer, created "directory_name" directory
-launched the paragon app
-dismounted and tapped "mount..." button
- tapped "choose mount point manually..." button
-selected /storage/directory_name
-tapped select button
-minimized the app with home button

You must make usb otg by yourself, just follow the tutorial above. :fingers-crossed:
If u buy from any types of usb otg nowm I think it doesn't support for galaxy wonder. But except if there is someone/factory has make it and sell it

Hi Batur, you can do otg yourself.
Aftermarket otg's will not work because there is no power on it.(our phone needs ext power for usb devices)
You must buy an usb hub and change it's usb cord to micro usb and hub must have to got an external power jack.
If you have questions about it, you can send private message to me.
You can write your p.m. in Turkish or English.

Good job bro!

got a usb otg cable today to experiment
i own a nice 7-port external power hub D-Link DUB-H7
tried to connect it to my phone, it even doesn't recognize it as a host)
another try was using an external hard drive with two usb cables - one to phone, other to power 'dumb' usb port
result - phone talks 'bout clear or damaged usb storage, possibly 'cause my drive has two partitions..
waiting for cheap chinese usb hub to mod it for power supply and continue research)

Anyone tested on joystick? would be great while playing Dead Trigger :laugh:

got a cheap usb hub today, thinking to mod it for external power supply
your scheme is to connect +5v directly to 5v contact from phone (it's not giving power) and gnd to phone's gnd respectfully
won't it damage the phone? maybe use some kind of diodes?
and is phone being charged while such modded hub is connected?

I've modded a usb hub to add external power supply....that's what I've done: I' ve put a second cable to power the hub and cut the VCC wire inside the other cable of the hub to avoid current return... to power it I use a 5V CC 1A power supply....I've tried this on my notebook and it works perfectly..but when I connect it on my galaxy w there is no device connected....but as you can see on the picture led light of my usb flash drive turns on, so it should work, but it isn't.....what is wrong??? any suggestions??? help please....I repeat: on my pc all works perfectly!!!!

So i have this usb hub, do I just take another usb cable and solder them in onto the board?

Problem with wireless connection
I got my Mini M8s II on 14th July, the WiFi is not working at all, youtube videos pausee, stop or freeze a few seconds later, with kodi, watching movies or TV shows (exodus, salts, Phoenix) is the same problem, get stopped suddenly. I tried changing settings modem Wpa2, wpa+wpa2, wep and the only setup that working is set in Open (no protection) but that is not cool.

Thanks for your experience. Have you tried it with a wired connection? Hope you get it fixed.

Wired it work fine, but the TV Box is far away from my TV.

Again, for the price, this seems to be the better one for me. I hope that the bad wifi can be worked around with an external antenna like the M8S (but I also had to apply a patched fw that someone created).
I need 2G of RAM (even without playing games doesn't take long before it slows down with 1G).
I need BT (headphones, mouse, keyboard)
missing is dual band wifi (would love to offload most of the wifi usage off of 2.4g)
one more USB port would be nice
longer power cord would be nice
external antenna would be nice

Does this box having Android 6 fix the problem where the audio drops every few seconds when passthrough is enabled?

got mine last week, but im having an issue with the language setting, it always changes back to chinese or something like that by itself even without restarting the device, despite that it has been working fine. is anyone having this issue too?

I'm a Chinese, I bought one in China, I do like the spec, exactly what I want,
but I got wifi connection problem too. I try to play movies shared from my PC, and the speed is very unstable, peak could be 3m/s, but 1 or 2 seconds later, it drops to 0, most of the time, speed is under 100k/s
I am asking the seller if there is any ROM update that could fix this problem, he/she said(about half an hour before) that he/she will ask the engineer
I am thinking whether to wait or to return it

They provided an update (rel. 2016-07-19) that fixes the WiFi issues: I get around 40 Mbit downstream easily over WiFi now...
They don't offer the update via OTA right now, it was online for short period but caused problems when downloaded, so they released it and people can copy it to the SD card.

To update:
Extract the 3 files (update.zip, factory_update_param.aml & recovery.img) to the SD Card (root of the SD card, no subfolder please ^^)
start the "update / backup" app on your box
select the update.zip and confirm
box will restart and install the new firmware

Language issue
I am also having the language reset issue.
Whenever I shut the box down after watching tv, the next time that I start the box, it starts with English and then reverts to Chinese after about 45 seconds.
This is a royal pain when you have to change the language back to English every time that you power on the box.
The other thing I've noticed is a long lag in Kodi when moving an external Logitech mouse or entering data with either the built-in or external keyboard.
It definitely stutters.
Otherwise, this would be a great box.
Any fixes for the above issues?

About 10 minutes after the box powered up for the first time, it has found july 4th firmware upgrade (small file about 14mb), then rebooted and almost immediately prompted for July 19th upgrade (430Mb if I remember correctly).
In the old days there was a "project" that had a ISO image of various video samples in all imaginable codecs on AVForums, but I can't find it anymore. Does anyone know if there is something similar with H265 and VP9 files as well? I would want to run through all of the codecs and verify what works and what doesn't.

thanks a lot!
I got OTA and updated my box, the stability feels better, but signal strenth is still not good enough. I tesed it beside router, and it's fast as expected, then put it back to my TV side, where there is a wall between, the speed is poor again. as reference, my phone, oneplus one, can have full wifi speed at the same position. I think Ihave to move my router to a better place

Has anyone found a working root for these S905X boxes yet? If anyone can make it happen I will gladly pay for it.

Does anybody know how to activate ADB via USB with this device? I tried connecting the box to my PC using a special USB cable (offering two Typ-A plugs) but the PC did not find any USB device. So no connection via USB. Without USB connection I cannot activate ADB support. Without ADB support it seems there is no way to have remote access (VNC, RDP etc.) to the box.

Why can't you activate ADB support? Or do you mean a specific support besides ADB debug in the developer options?

I used ADB over WiFi, I didn't even try to use USB because those boxes without an OTG port can usually just be reached via burning tool, for example...

- Unplug power and male USB from the box.
- Load burning tool on the PC
- Press the reset button, keep it pressed and plug in the male USB
- Keep the power lead out at the moment when you see it says on your PC "connected successful" in the burning tool
- Release the button and plug power in

Btw. burning & customization tool hopefully can be used again in the future when they manage to release an IMG of the firmware and not only ZIP files. -.-
Those noname device engineers are still struggling with Marhsmallow, it seems... :laugh:

Question Is there a method to re-implement ethernet thetering on realme UI 2.0?

Hello,
is there a method that i could connect my usb-c over ethernet adapter to my pc from the phone allowing it to share internet from it?
I know the option ethernet over thetering was implemented in stock Android 11 rom but why was it removed from realme UI i don't understand (correct me if i'm wrong)
The order it's Phone Tethering --> Usb-c to ethernet adapter --> Windows System
And will this function be implemented in realmeUI 3.0? because that option remained also in OneUI 4.0 (samsung).
Hope for an answer.
Regards.

Ok I already tried that.
I connected the adapter to my phone into my pc then the adapter turns on in OTG but the usb tethering doesn't light up.

you cant use it if you chose transfer file you must chose charge only to use it ^^ like this ^^

I know but when I plug the adapter in power mode the usb tethering option isn't lighted up. Otg is required to at least power on the adapter.. I don't know

maybe you need another cable to work other then the one that your using i used the cable that came with the phone and it works with me

maybe you don't understand, i wanted to connect my phone with RJ45 adapter to my pc not use an usb to connect my pc via tethering https://www.google.com/search?q=rj4...&biw=1920&bih=904&dpr=1#imgrc=SVBP8DUya15ZzMi
i could try using the rj45 adapter connected to the pc and then using a usb dongle to connect the normal cable to ethernet, i only wanted to use wired hotspot without charging the battery because keeping it forever at 100% it's not that good.
