USB host...is it possible to connectan GPS USB mouse?

Is it possible to enable the USB host function? I have a GPS USB mouse, and I would like to connect to my htc wizard.
Does the host usb function work in some ROM?

I am also interested...
I have a Sirf Star II bt dongle, which has a mini usb port. I dont know if I could connect to it via mini usb with my HTC Wizard, and of course use it for GPS Navigation. The reason I want to do this is that I only want to give power supply to my Wizard, not both of the devices

I'm sure this is a rellay interesting thing, not only for GPS mouse USB, but also for USB hard disk and so on....
I'm almost sure that the hardware have the possibility to be used with host function, but I don't know if there are some specific driver to install...
I hope that some guru of this forum should help us..

nope
for my knowledge- there is no posibility of any (undocumented) usb host avilability for our devices. (chip, schematics e.t.c)- I'm 99% shure 4 that.
try Eten m600 or qtek 9000...

According to this diagram, the OMAP850 supports USB Host and Client, so with the proper drivers and cables it should be able to connect to and use USB devices
There is also some discussion about it over here http://www.htcwizardweb.net/node/661

... so we have two "mysteries of wizard"...
-host usb
-SDHC support.
tell me... is this real? Is it "potentially" possible to discover new, powerful wizard?
Host usb is my wet dream...i cannot understand lack of it novadays..

Three mysteries actually....
-host usb
-SDHC support.

depend on the device
only 2 htc pda's support usbHost which is required

i use an ameo / u1000 and it has no problems hosting a usb stick. what happens is i stick in the 4 in 1 plug to the ameo. the usb is then plugged in to the jack. the ameo reads the usb stick as "hard disk"
cheers

Thanks for reply.
I was wondering about Ipaq 214...
Anybody knows how?
Merci

As always, Google is your friend.
This is what it spat out: http://ashorterlink.com/2770
And here is a video by some bored person, demonstrating that it works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wm8q78CMqw8

Thanks for that but i was more looking for software driver/program which allows you to use usb disk.
214 has already small usb port and i'd like to connect it directly in it - don't know why use another plugin between.
i hope you know what i wanted to say.
thanks again for efforts!

Ones again a simple Google search revealed an Archos USB-host cable for the mini usb port.
Remember that no one said that the mini USB port on the iPaq is usb-host capable, infact a forum mod here claims that the mini-usb port is NOT host capable and no there is no addon driver that I am aware of.
In fact I am fairly sure that it is a hardware feature, otherwise someone would have written such a software for my Tytn/Hermes eons ago.
Hope this helps.

Xoom and USB audio devices.

hello Xoom owners,
Xoom uses USB OTG but I'm curious what capabilities does it really has.
What's more - Android 3.1 supports it's host mode.
Have anyone tried to plug a USB audio DAC/AMP/ external audio devices to your Xoom?

PS. this USB DAC has internal battery and doesn't need power supply from tablet/PC

Did you have any issues using the Fiio DAC/Amp with the Xoom?
Thanks

I tried plugging in the Korg nanoPAD and Serato. Both devices powered up but that was about it. I'm not rooted so I can't easily debug to see if the OS recognizes them even. Would be awesome if Google could give HC some DAW/Midi love, and of course some quality apps would need to follow (sigh)

I am not terribly familiar with either device. Looked up the nanoPAD and it looks like it requires a midi over USB driver to be installed, so it wouldn't have native USB Audio support like say a DAC would.
Still haven't been able to get a definite word on whether or not a DAC would work.
Thanks for the report on these peripherals, interesting to see people pushing the limits.

host mode doesn't mean that any usb device will work. Currently the only devices with built in drivers are keyboards, mice, and mass storage. Anything else requires a driver.

Sorry to dig up this thread but has anyone found a USB audio class driver for the Xoom? It appears the Xoom must have one lying around somewhere as the dock uses USB only for connection, right?

Bumping this;

It seems like the xoom needs a driver with usbaudio, then something to switch the output.

[Q] Tablet or phone as a powerbank

Hi. Is there any tweak or hack that will enable me to use my tab as a powerbank by using otg cable and usb cable. it is clearly that the power can come out from the usb port because it can power up a pendrive or for some tablet a hard disk. So it sound like possible to enable a tablet to become a powerbank.
Furthermore, is there any tweak that will enable me to transfer data from a tablet to a phone or vice versa by using otg cable and usb cable.
Thanks everyone.

asking response
anyone? or im just the one who in need of this...

Nope. There ain't no way you can use your phone as power bank meanwhile you can use its battery if you can remove that to get some power in your phone.. That works nice.
Why do you need to transfer data from tablet to phone using otg when you've got superbeam by the side.

Do you think a usb to vga connection would work?

Let me explain, I have a cathode ray television, a cube one, and I would like to adapt it as a second monitor. So I'm thinking of buying an adapter to convert its signal, the problem? my pc doesn't have another extra connector for a new monitor. After searching, I discover that there are cables that adapt usb to vga, and I more or less trace what you can see in the image. My doubts are, would this set work? regarding the USB to VGA adapter, I have not seen many tests on the internet of this working outside laptops, but it has a usb 3.0 connection, could it work in my computer?
I don't really care about the imput lag, I just want to know if it would work or because of the power load or something like that it wouldn't work.

Nice artwork. It should work.
It depends on your system recongnizing the "USB to VGA", which is an external video card.
You could do it with a internal video card if you have the slots.

I do not understand. The usb to vga adapter I saw was a cable, and to use it you had to install their respective drivers. My pc supports video cards, but because of my budget I can't get one yet. If I had one, I would just look for an hdmi to rca adapter.
Thanks for your answer, by the way.

Well, that little thingy with a plug has a frame buffer and all the things that a video card must have.
It's just that instead of connecting over PCI it connects over USB.

Oh, I get it. Thanks for your help

I'll point out the obvious that you can pick up a used LCD monitor for $10 at any charity shop.
The image will be better and you won't need the VGA to RCA adapter.
