What USB devices can android froyo phones directly connect to at the moment (as host)? Any known printers, keyboards or game controllers?
If I were to chop the usb plug off my usb keyboard or PC game controller and replace it with a micro usb plug, then directly connect it to my phone, would the phone pick it up?
Would I need to write some kind of drivers for this? Has ANYONE else tried anything similar?
Bump.. I too would be interested to know if a usb keyboard or game controller can be plugged into an Eclair or Froyo handset?
Is it possible to connect a projector on the USB port and show a movie on the big screen?
I know it can be done through HDMI port, but what about USB?
Hi everyone!
I'm looking for a new phone, which has:
- Android
- TV out - composite AND HDMI.
- can do USB OTG
- 720p video recording would be nice but not crucial
Now, I have read that the Samsung Galaxy S (i9000) can do composite TV out and USB OTG, but lacks the HDMI out. The Galaxy S Plus (i9001) can do both the composite and HDMI TV out, but doesn't have USB OTG.
Do any of you know any phone which can do these things?
Let's say I connect my smartphone's micro USB port to a micro HDMI port of a video handycam, with a MHL cable.
I need to know:
- The pin mapping done by the mhl cable- namely what usb pin is connected to what hdmi pin (I couldn't find on the net).
- How can I capture the audio/video signal output by the camera, with the phone through its micro USB port (I want to write the driver for that).
We suppose the phone doesn't have a dedicated MHL chip (even if it had one, it would be for output from the phone not for input).
Also, I don't want to use Wi-Fi.
Any hint is appreciated.
Thanks.
Hry guys. New to Nvidia Shield. Was womdering if you can use the USB charging \ data cable and plug it into the usb port on the tv. Would this work? And do you need a special app to use it ?
I imagine that unless you are talking about reading some video files on your storage and playing those on the TV, no, it wouldn't work like that.
However, the Shield Portable does have a mini-HDMI port along with its micro-USB port. So you could just plug it into an HDMI port and you would have an instant mirror of your screen. In fact this is how you start up the "Console Mode" where you hook it to your TV and a charger, and you attach a Shield Wifi-Direct controller or a BT controller (or a wired USB controller I guess via a split charge/USB-OTG cable), and you have a nice way to stream your games from GRID, your comp, or native from the Shield to your big-screen TV.
TL;DR - No, wouldn't work. Don't need it though, you have an HDMI out on it.
