Oops Ive posted the same question in another sector of this God Blessed site!
lol
Any know what the outcome would be of you plug in 4usb modems into a hub and take that 1lil lead and plug it into your laptop?
basicly what would happen if you have four dongles one machiene?
please tell me ill get a faster connection speed!
you won't. a device can only read from 1 device at a time

Last night when I was half a sleep I plugged into my HTCTouch Pro a standard USB cable in its ext USB port. It started charging and I went to bed. When woke up in the morning, I was shocked and I was a fraid some thing could have happened to the devive. I immediately unplugged it.
I checked the device and there was nothing wrong with it. I decided to test it further. So, I connected the "wrong cable" again and I could exchange files normally with this standard USB cable. I also used for active sync and Internet sharing!
I also connected the standard cable the Pro's charger and it worked like a breeze. This means that if you need an additional USB cable you can buy a cable at quarter the price of the damned "extUSB" one!
Hope I provided you with some useful trick.
Note: Use it at your own risk. But I tested it on my device with no problems. Perfect!
Sorry to ruin your excitement, but pretty much everyone knew this already. The ExtUSB is a standard USB plug but with extra pins on the edges that only ExtUSB cables have receptors for. They are just audio and video pins, and aren't required to charge to transfer data.
LMAO!!
You are the second one that made this "amazing" discovery!!

Third, actually, and my post didn't even seem to surprise anyone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=444534
However, with a huge and complex forum like this, it's no wonder and no shame that things get discovered, asked or explained again and again. I'm sure there's a lot of people that didn't know this yet and found out by reading your post. So kudos to you.
First time I've seen it. Good to know for when I get mine in a week or so!
was it ever necasarry?
i used regular mini usb on my 8525 all the time
You guys got to be kidding... I couldn't even imagine that someone doesn't know about this already. Mini USB is the standard charger for most recent device these days.
I use the same mini USB (got it for $3) to charge my phone, my camera, my MP3 player and anything that I can plug in. A USB port from your computer have an output of 5Volt... so don't worry about it, it won't kill your device.
Welcome to the Forum, by the way
guys - give him the credit for his discovery. at least it helped me - i didnt know and to me he is the best inventor of 2008!!!!! Way to go abdelbaset0
Lol, this stuff gives me the giggles, personally, ive always used normal MiniUSB cables, ever since they brought out that connection on their devices, but the really funny thing is, when i was in a T-Mobile store once, the attendant genuinly thought it would damaged the device when i said i wanted a normal (miniUSB) car charger to use with my TyTN.... Still Chuckling now.

Sadly, because of reps like that, the various print materials, websites trying to overcharge for a product, and the general user's fear and lack of education....this is the sort of information that a lot of people will probably find to be wildly helpful, even profound.
When my girlfriend got some phone, not entirely sure which one (she's been through quite a few), she thought she had no choice but to use the charging brick and data cable that came in the box. She complained about a low battery one day while in my car. A quick look to see the shape of the port and I plugged in my car charger. She was in shock...and I was equally shocked that a very computer literate asian girl would feel comfortable installing windows but was baffled by the shape of a plug
Hi,
Does anyone know what happens if you put 4 usb dongles into a 4port usb hub and lug THAT into your LapTop?
Thanks
depends on what type of USB dongles your on about.
if your talking about memory sticks (flash drives, whatever)
then it would simply load up all four.
Its not going to make it explode, however comical that would be
I prefer the image however of plugging in four mobile broadband dongles
then i could see one of two things happening:
your laptop would cry because it wouldnt know where to get its internets from
or
your laptop would end up with ULTIMATE INTERNETS!!!
who knows
After 2 days of struggling about the USB connection issue, I think maybe I've found the reason... Just write something here so that someone may see this in the future when searching around...
CONCLUSION FIRST:
It's caused by lack of power supply of the USB ports
If you believe me, you can skip the part below and try use a USB port in the back of a desktop and tell me if I'm right
Just leave me some feed back...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
So here's how I found it...
My observations:
1.Cannot connect to my 2 laptops in all modes and with all drivers I can find, showing "Device not recognized""your device is malfunctioning".
2.If I pull out and back the cable several times, it may recognize at some times. This connection may last for only 1 sec or several minutes, but won't be long and stable since I always stuck in the middle of large file transferring.
3.The e-sata/usb combo port worked better than the other two in the left side.
If it's the problem of driver, then with some of the drivers, it may work better. however, nothing makes a different.
If it's because of system, I have XP on my old one, and Win7 x64 on the new envy 14, and the result is exactly the same
so the observation #2 made me believe that maybe it's a hardware issue, either my phone or my cable is broken. what excluded the phone is that I got a replacement yesterday and the replacement doesn't make a difference. So the only thing left is the cable.
So I brought my phone to the school PC center and used the desktops there. still not recognized when i plug it in one of the usb ports on the front. So I crewed on the desk and finally reached a port in the back, and bang!
It recognized in 2 sec.
So i pull the cable out and connect again.
still 2 sec.
try transfer a large folder to it. lasted 5 mins, finished smoothly.
So I went upstairs to another desktop there.
Exactly the same result!
and both of the two desktops don't have any drivers installed beforehand.
---------------------------------------------------
So now I believe that if you only need to use mass storage, no driver is needed. windows will automatically install an universal usb driver for it and it should work.
All the drivers are ment to get connection in Kies/ADB/downloadmode.
And the reason why some guys never get connection issue may simply because their computer are designed to give more power to the usb ports.
As for my envy 14, all the usb ports i can reach come from a usb hub inside, which has 6 ports connected to. and 3 of them are already used by internal bluetooth chip and etc..
Also...some phones may need less power to activate the storage chip...
So just tell me if I'm right~~~leave your comments here...
This could be possible. I've used devices in the past that would act up randomly before I moved the usb ports around. You could try to use a double head usb and connect that into your phone to confirm your theory. But really, as long as you got it working, good for you.

Interesting theory. I had an old HP Laptop from '05 I used with three usb ports, and the number of usable/recognizable eventually turned into one. I just thought my laptop was acting crazy with windows 7 and drivers... because I now have a tower pc and the connection is solid. I do use a port on the top though, although it's never given me any issues. So...moral of the story is... this phone's usb is kinda funky.
And if you're a n00b and reading this, if your computer EVER says "device cannot be recognized", etc... BEWARE OF USING ODIN3 on this PC! I had a similar mishap right as it was flashing on sbl.bin... I am lucky that I don't have a Super Amoled paper weight.
Yes that's what I'm gonna try~ need to buy one online though, may bring the result back in couple of days.
Motherboard
Always go directly to the motherboard for a hot USB port
I believe that many of the FAQ/Bible threads mentioned using a rear USB port many months ago.
I dunno whether this is the right place to ask about the ps3 and lap.. So i just want to ask apology if I'm on a wrong section. Okay let me get into my question..
Is it possible to connect ps3(ie,play station 3 to my lap screen). From past i play games connecting to my TV, but nowadays mom started watching many drama serial on it. So i would like to buy a new TV but recently i was thinking whether i can connect it to my laptop. So please mind answering. Thank you

Normally laptops have VGA and HDMI out ports that both are "out signalling" ports. There's no way to get image signals in the laptops except for USB that is useless in this case
You should probably get your own Plasma, and plasmas are better in lightning
ps3
Sasan_blue is right about there being no way to use the vga port, but you should look at this. http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-20067551-285/how-to-connect-your-computer-to-your-ps3/
If I understand your question correctly, your short answer is yes.
The long answer is that you'd have to pull the LCD out of the Laptop, and figure out the pinouts on the LCD screen and an HDMI wire as a PS3 utilizes it. So it's not easy, and you're better off doing it with a spare computer, NOT a laptop you're using.
Definitely can be done if you're brave enough and know how to search for things; this bloke's done it before with a Wii.
Hi.
I recently got an old computer set up that doesn't have Wi-Fi, or an Ethernet cable running nearby. I was delighted to find that I could instead use my Note 3 to provide it with internet. The problem is that the phone doesn't change nearly as quickly on usb, and it appeared to be discharging when I was using it.
The question is, is it possible to make a micro usb cable with two usb male ends, one that goes into an adapter to charge from the wall, and the other to go into a pc to transfer data?
I looked around and apparently no one shares this twisted fantasy, so I figured someone on here can tell me whether it's at all possible.
Thanks in advance
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. It's probably possible, if you split the cable correctly then theoretically it should work. I can't find anything relating to this on XDA though, but you should be able to find technical schematics for USB cable wiring conventions pretty easily on the interwebz.
Good luck!
Thread closed, thanks.
