USB on the go - General Topics

Do USB on the go devices work on Windows mobile 2003 SE, like that mp3 player of iaudio and is it possible to play files of a usb on the go device???????

i'm not 100% but i recall that last time it was up (maybe search can find that thread)
people said that the ati chip in the xda2 supported it but the ati chip dident control the usb of the device so it was up to the xcale cpu which dident support it

nah tryed searching with a few querys, didnt work and searching manualy is like searching for a needle in a haystag....
anyway, but file transefer is possible?, cuz i have a 1gb sd and its not realy hard to transfere stuff from the unit to the pda (thouh it wil be painstakingly slow :? )

hhmmm your sd card would use the SDIO connector
it's not the same thing as the usb connector
i use sd cards all the time they are ok
here is the thread i think i was talking about....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=13518&highlight=usb
and this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4733&highlight=usb

Tnx Rudegar, i was also searching, found one of them.
so from what i read, its not possible to connect my magician to a usb-on-the-go device....

Turn your device to USB flash drive

Softick Card Export II for Pocket PC turns your Pocket PC and Windows Mobile PDA into USB flash drive.
http://www.softick.com/download.php
Holy crap, this is nice.
But trial version? Please make sure you mention things like this =]
But yeah, installed, tested great. Puts a little icon in your "System Tray" to select between "Activesync" and "Card Reader".
Works on my Magician, connecting to XPSP1 machine. Yes, it had to install drivers but the drivers were native so in about 10 seconds I had access to my SD Card.
Did a quick file transfer test - MUCH faster than Activesync.
This might save me having to carry my card reader everywhere, despite the fact that the cable doubles as my Magician charger ;D
Now check this
change your owner name to
Dcs [RCAPDA]
then see what happen
Haha, thanks, but I've already fixed that little problem ;D
No go with the latest Qtek rom.
It say's you will have to download the newest USB driver ?!?!? :shock:
I discoverd that this one is for WM2003, downloaded the one for wm2005 but won't work either.
Lets see if there is an update some day.
Cheers,

on the download site
http://www.softick.com/pocket-pc/cardexport2/
there are three downloads
1. ZIP Microsoft Windows Installation (English)
2. CAB package for Windows Mobile 2003 (English)
3. CAB package for Windows Mobile 2005 (English)
first one ZIP is ver 2.21
others are ver 2.11
try the zip
and they say
We are permanently developing support for the new devices. Tell us what device support do you need.
try it hope you get some luck
hay Jed D`Lagged tell me the secret
next time i will be careful to mention about trial versions
Unfortunately, it seems only to function in Read-only mode on WM2005, and quite slowly too. (at least on my himalaya)
You can make your phone a USB drive without extra software. I have read that it can be done. Havn't done it yet with my 6700, but did with my 6600 but cant remember how I did it
The WM5 one works a treat on my Universal and Wizard. Or rather,it did untill I upgraded the roms to direct push capable ones. Now I have to disable direct push and kill activesync before switching the card export to 'export' mode. Irritating but still quiet usable.
If you're worried about the trial version you could alway, er, buy it! It's cheep!
USB mass storage driver
i dont know what is this & what will it do ?
USB mass storage driver is free for personal use
http://www.deje.gmxhome.de/software.html
... wrong way around. That installs a driver that let's you plug USB thumb drives into your PocketPC.
Although... I don't know any Pocket PC devices that have a USB Slot A connection?
The Fujistu-Siemens Loox (older model) had a USB host.
Thanks
Thanks
an alternative freeware which seems to work nicely on Himas (can't speak for rest)....

Host function for ASUS P525 ?

Hi,
First, I'm new around here, so hello everyone!
I've purchased a P525 which I should receive soon.
My question
According to this article, the P525 might qualify as being host capable, meaning one could plug some USB card reader into the P525 USB port and use whatever data stored on a CF or SD card for instance. For example, I have a card reader and a 8GB CF card filled with music would it be possible to use this data using the P525? Does anyone ever attempted to use some host function on a P525?
I've googled this topic in every way but found no one that ever mentioned this was tried on a P525...
Huh? No one ever tried if host function works on a P525 ??
OK then, an easy one : I've noticed some of you are using a 4GB minisd card on their P525. I know the device will not comply with SDHC standard, but what about regular minisd? What combination of brand (TOPRAM?) and ROM does this need to work?
MANY THANKS !!
P525 has no support for USB host. This is hardware limitation.

Thank you Ingvarr ! Well, I've asked because if you follow the link to the article in my first post, you would read this:
«Intel has built in USB Host functionality into the PXA27x series of chips»
But of course, if ASUS never implemented it ... that's way too bad - unless someone finds out it can be done using a software solution. I just hope I'll find the way to have a 4GB minisd card to work with the P525, because 2GB is just too short.
HERE
There's someone named Ingvarr (coincidence?) who designed a nice little program that can play host with a WM5 device.
Can't wait to try it on my P525 once I get it...
OUPS ! Sorry Ingvarr.. I've just realized your app is not meant for what I had in mind... Nice program though.

Storage Extension via USB?

hello everybody!
tried to find it in the forum, not sure whether somebody asked that before:
Is it possible to extend the storage of the diamond via some usb device? can you buy extensions like that? is it technically possible?
greetinx, kruemelmonzta
im sure it is technically possible. Would be nice wouldnt it? *sigh*
The Diamond doesn't have an internal USB Host, so it's not possible.
thanx for the quick answer though i'm not so content with that
can there be a bluetooth/wifi-solution for external storage? would eat loads of battery, for sure...

Diamond DOES have a internal USB host. The problem is that it is not supported by the software. But in the technical manual (available in the WIKI) there talk abou a Y cable for upgrading ROM.
There are some people working on this...
I've seen that adapter too. But that doesn't mean the Diamond's got USB host. It could be a very special HOST-Adapter, which of coz would need special drivers.
Where have you seen people talking about working on it?
Hi,
I remember reading an artical on engadget a while ago (few months) and it was about a mobile disk drive (2.5") with wifi/bluetooth access. So you can just browse the HDD from your phone/pocket pc.
I just found a link to the Item
http://www.trustedreviews.com/storage/news/2007/02/01/Seagate-Offers-Mobile-Bluetooth-Storage/p1
Looks cool and a very good option.
With shared network folder and WIFI I have no probs at all ... 1 Terabyte to my use.

so how does this work exactly? Because even I use remote desktop to log into my PC at home. But how can you, lets say play an album from your 1 Terabyte of storage. How can you view pics? How can you do these things on the fly without first remote desktop-ing into your PC, copying to your Diamond and run?
D.A.V.E. seems to be very interesting. you can't buy it yet, can you?

It's no much, but maybe someone could work on it.

Yes, but does not let you play music from there.

USB HDD for Polaris?

Hi,
I was able to use the USB HDD function on a HTC Universal device. Since moving onto Polaris I have lost that functionality. Now I have seen Sony Experia X1 with Windows 6.1 which has the same function in the Settings> Connections> USB to PC with an option to select either Active Sync or USB Disk Drive.
Is it possible for one of our great mods to extract this function and make it a part of the cooked Roms or as a stand alone cab?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Ciao
How about installing a wm6.1 rom?
Also it an USB Mass Storage Device, not a HDD... atleast I don't know about anything even remotely similar to a Hard Disk Drive in the polaris...
Polaris under 6.1 has no such option (mass storage device).
It has USB to PC, and there's only Advanced network functionality...
So it's an experia specific function... there are always alternative apps to do this
try using softick card export. works perfectly for me

Thanx mate, softick does it.
But can the mods extract that experia function to cook in Polaris Roms or Polaris is not capable of this function due to hardware software limitation.
Ciao

active sync damn slow

hey
i've a realy big problem
yesterday ive started copzing educkys map to vox via active sync (yesterday 13°°(germany) now its 8°° and its still not finished!
there are "only" 2.2gb to transfer yes its still transfering!
what on hell can i do making it faster
i already have an cardreade rbut i lend it to a friend so ive to use active sync.
Ofcourse you can try wm5torage. It makes your vox a cardreader. This way you don't have to use AS.

WM5Storage is even slower than Activesync
Why making such a fuzz about AS or WM5storage? The USB hardware on most HTC phones can only cope with the slowest speed for USB. My experience is that WM5torage is about double the speed of AS and AS varies if in RNDIS or Serial mode. Fastest write I get on my Vox is around 300kB/sec (and 700kB/sec at read) for large files. If you have to transfer a lot of data (like your 2.2 Gig), just pull out the microSD (hey it is hot-pluggable!), put it in a card-reader and load it via this. My 8GB class6 Sandisk microSD came with a tiny reader and that writes at a speed of 10MB/sec. I never have the patience to do this via AS or WM5torage.
Is there any way nueMassstorage can be ported to Vox? Asking all the Genuses here (not mere dumb users like me ). It gives awesome speed!
The slowth is caused by the hardware, not the software.
Use a decent cardreader instead.
No software will bring the HW to speeds it cannot support. Follow up the WM5torage thread at MoDaCo. Some (very few) devices have both, capable USB Hardware and a decent USB driver in firmware that allows to exploit the full HW speed. Otherwise buy a tiny microSD cardreader for 5$ and enjoy speeds you never seen before...

The Gene and Vox has almost the same hardware, but the difference of speed is quite remarkable between WM5Storage and nuemassstorage, BTW I have used both the software in the Gene and confirmed it.
