Hello,
can somebody make this work on the Desire?
Would be awesome
http://sven.killig.de/android/N1/2.2/usb_host/
I can probably do it, just need a cable to test with, maybe over the weekend.
does this work so the desire can read usb flash drives?

You are awesome.
yeah, it would be possible to attach any USB device (like on your pc) to the Phone (USB Flash Drive, Keyboard, Mouse, ......... )
cables
I could only find cables in china has anyone seen any for sale in the uk ?
you can make the micro USB to USB 'A' cable with a few bits and a soldering iron or some electrical tape. They seem to be scarce over here so thats what i plan on doing.
i have a "female - female" USB Cable here. if i plug this in my normal micro USB-Cable will this work?
Desire -> Micro-USB-Cable -> Female - Female-USB-Cable -> USB-Keyboard
I ordered from the ebay guy he adivised on his site
@kingchris
Nah this wont work. The reason he uses the powered hub and the special power cable is because the phone itself doesnt give out 5v like a normal USB port so devices are having to steal it from elsewhere.
So with your keyboard setup, the data lines will be connected but it will have no power.
so a normal Micro-USB cable to a USB-HUB and then to the keyboard?

Dont know if you even need the hub. Its the special dual ended power cable you need. Just need some way to pump 5v down towards the keyboard. *i think*
http://www.span.com/product_info.php?products_id=22810
Here a link to a company selling the power cable. Based in Surrey.
i think it will work if you don't plugin as much devices as the guy in the video.
you can use one of these to convert your existing Charging Cable to a Female Port
Amazon.de
or
Amazon.co.uk
Edit: kay, not sure if the gender changer is all you need
I have the adapter that goes from micro usb to female usb a already. Just need a driver that will allow me to use a basic gamepad/keyboard.
If you can make one, ill surely donate!

i dont think the DHD supports USB Host ......
I need something that allows me to power the device through the micro USB port at the same time as use my micro USB port to connect to other devices...
Please see attached image for clarification.

Go to google.com or ebay and type in "micro usb hub"
you will find many choices be sure it is a micro in the description, I found many on ebay starting at $4.59.

Cheers - these will definitely have a charge-input as well as a read/write in/out right? Thanks mate
Does the nexus 5x come with a cable (I think it's called type c to type a) that works with USB 3.0 and 2.0? Is it really necessary to be able to connect the 5x to a computer especially if I'm going to put a custom ROM on it?
No. Only the 6P comes with the Type C to Type A cable. The 5X comes with a Type C to Type C cable only.
You have to buy a compatible cable or adapter.

Nope. Just ships with a single USB 2.0 Type C to Type C cable and A/C wall charger. If you want to plug it into a computer to unlock the bootloader (or connect to pre-existing Type A chargers), you need to purchase a separate Type C to Type A cable.
Edit: ninja'd lol
The 5x only comes with a USB c to USB c cable for the charger. I bought a USB c to USB a cable with my 5x from google. I think you could use an adaptor (c to a) and use the cable that comes with it.
Darn! Didn't know this. I have my precious 5x in front of me ready to root and I must now order another cable and wait two more days. Gee golly whooosh darn!

happened with me as well
I want to connect my nexus 5x with laptop for file/data transfer as well as USB tethering . My laptop only has USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports so can you guys recommend proper USB type to USB or micro USB 2.0/3.0 adaptor/cables. I want to make sure to buy the right cables/adaptor
which one is good?

Both will work fine. Anker makes good stuff too. I have many of their cables and chargers all quality stuff. Definitely recommend them.

ok thank you. I was curious because i heard that if you use wrong cable it might damage phone because of difference in current flows. If we used type c to USB adopter and charge it visa usb cable then i assume it will charge it with normal speed? or still rapid charge?

That cable has the proper resistor configuration to indicate legacy source device so it should be fine (just look for 56k resistor)
Anytime you have a conversion from USB A to C the cable is supposed to be configured in such a way to tell the device being charged to fall back to USB charging rates (.5A to 1.5A). If that 56K resistor was substituted with a different resistor like in earlier designs, the device being charged might think the source device can handle more and will pull more current than available. This could damage your USB port in your example. However since the proper resistor is in place, the 5x will limit the current draw to what USB A can do and your USB A port should be ok.

So this tiny anker adaptor also has this proper resistor configuration ?
Have bought 2 here, both good, did the test with checkr from playstore.

That app is not always 100% accurate. I have cables that Benson says are not in spec, that the app says are in spec. So I don't trust it.

Agreed. Go by the list, not those apps.

Nexus 5x is USB 2.0 type C. There is a difference between cable interface and cable speed. Cable speed is designed as 1.0, 2.0 3.0 etc. Cable interface is designed by letters - A, B, C. Type A refers to the standard USB outlet found on a computer, while type C refers to the connector that plugs into the Nexus 5X. You can have a type c cable at either 2.0 or 3.0 speeds.

I purchased these two anker USB-C to Micro-USB adaptor but when i connect to USB port of PC ..it just show empty nexus folder and you cannot copy/past stuff
do i need to install something else for computer to recognise nexus phone?

unlock your phone, check your notifications, and choose the correct usb-connection type

Its done thanks guys. I tried again and pull the notification areas down and found the USB connection options over there and now it recognise.

Not sure why they don't show up for you.
Maybe you need to enable developer options and USB debugging. I've had those enabled from the beginning so I wouldn't know if they have any affect on USB options.
This is what you should be seeing, the USB notification, then the USB notification options once you tap on the notification.

Is there any way to charge fast with samsung fast charging cable as i do see it say slow charging on NEXUS 5X when connect with PC...
I have s5 and using s6 fast charger it charge more quickly than USB type c charger of nexus 5x which is strange..this type c cable suppose to be much faster
