USB on the go

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....

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....

Wanted: simple file transfer software xda<>XP

Dear all,
my xda (Prophet) gets connected to many different computers, the only common connection mode is USB. On some of them, I cannot install software by company policy.
What I am looking for is a simple, standalone program that can be run (eg from a USB stick) on the WinXP PC and will allow simple back and forth file transfer between the PC and the Prophet via USB.
No other functionality required. Does such a beast exist?
thanks for hints,
best regards
tdklaus

there are free programs which makes the pda acts as a usb mass strorage device in the eyes of windows

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

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.

Is there a way to check SMART via OTG ?

I use a few external ssd drives via OTG with my Android tablet, and wanted to know if there is a way to check SMART values from my tablet, without a PC (e.g. an android app equivalent to gsmartcontrol) to know if the drives are failing. Thanks

Only kow of Windows apps that do this, e.g. SSDLife.
