Okay, so ive looked around, havent found much on the matter so i wanted to ask if it is possible to mirror a Windows Phones display on an external display via the MicroUSB port? Similar to the way Microsoft does it in demos/presentations...
There have been reports of this being implemented by Microsoft late last year but i havent seen or heard anything yet...
Anyone have any info?
yeah that's sound good. I wish windows phone would evaluate more and with Nokia on board they could make something like on the Nokia E7 the USB port using. i dont know how the name for that is but they can use usb sticks from Nokia to transfer thing to PC without a phone later. something similar could WP do, with all data on the phone, like a backup stick. where all the save backups are. just in case of error or something to have it handy. and they could manufacture it and i would buy it. it helps a lot. like your tread about TV out. that are small things that help a lot.
But they are still young Mobile OS and there is more room to improve
hope Tango brings this support !!
man...cant wait for Tango or Apollo !! hope they bring more cool and new features just as Mango did !!
MHL (Mobile High-definition Link) sounds promising. What about MicroUSB to RCA? Won't that work?

Hi,
I miss the USB-Host on all of our slick new Devices!
Only the very BIG HTC has an USB-Host.
The only "small" WM5, GSM,GPS and USB-Host Device ever made was the FJS Loox T830.
I think this is not right! What's your opinion?
An Usb-Host gives you endless possiblities!

yeah..
but there's really no way to do it?
yes, definately would be great to have!!
Yes i am agree with you
What's the point? A WM device can't provide enough power down the USB port to power most devices, so you'll have to use a powered hub anyway. Unless you WANT to kill the battery in 10 minutes flat.
Need a keyboard? Get a BT one.
Need a mouse? Get a BT one, though why you need a mouse when you have a touchscreen device, I don't know...
Need a memory stick? Get one that takes mini-SD cards. I have one, they're very useful!
Need a printer? Why? You've got some printer drivers and a print option in your WM programs? Didn't think so...
Wifi dongle? Get a device with wifi built in...
Etc etc...
my mine use case is Various FTDI based Hardware to Control or Measure stuff.
e.g UniLog. one of the things we did:

What happens if the SD slot is behind the battery?
What happens if the memory stick isn't yours
I found it extremley usefull on my Toshiba G900. I would often have work colleages giving me memory sticks out "in the field" (actually a very big automation site in Langley - HWDC) and ask me if I could email/keep something for them during our integration testing. I also took photos of stuff and put it straight onto there memory sticks.
So you might not see any reason to have it but, some of us do.
edit: not to mention the really coool - when they said "oh yeah I have that on memory stick but my latops back in the office", you can imagine how I could act all geek then and say "you got it on you? is it in that Excel file? Let me have a look now mate"
doesn't tv-out is a usb host question??
if it is so i like it .
i would really like to have tv-out on my htc wizard

First, this is untrue. And if you think using your wifi or BT connection in a "constant" way doesn't blow through your battery, you've never done it
Second, I want to plug in an ultrasound probe:

Can't do that with BT (too slow) or WiFi (too power hungry and I cannot tolerate unknown latency or dropped frames in by wireless medical device connection).
USB Host is terribly useful and not only for the "obvious" things listed. Let the users/developers find interesting uses. They are out there!
Hi all,
My girlfriend asked me for some kind of "all in one" mobile device that she can use as a phone, a decent camera, a music/video player (so far almost any phone released in the last 3 years does that) but she also needs a decent av out and usb host mode. She's an art teacher and spends most days using projectors and getting works from students on flash cards or usb sticks. So far she was using a netbook for all that, but given the fact that she doesn't need everything a netbook offers I thought she could replace it with a smartphone.
So far I found the new Nokia N8 which can literally do every single thing she needs (it even has hdmi out, so the video quality should be great). The problem is Symbian and everyone complaining about it. I don't think my girlfriend would have any problem with it since everybody complains about the lack of features compared to android or other smartphone os (yet very few people has actually tried Symbian^3) and she's never used a smartphone before.
Anyway I wanted to know if I had other similar options.
Thanks a lot.
Hey guys
I got my wife one of these but I can't get her Omnia 7 to discover it, it never appears in the BT discovered list. Any ideas?
Cheers!
Can you discover anything with it ?
Some Omnias suffer from bad radio hardware, quite a few reports of this i'm afraid

Thanks for the reply. Yes, it discovers other stuff like my laptop and my phone. I suspect the unit doesn't work with WP7.
Ah right, assuming other phones can find the hands free device...
I believe WP7 is a bit picky about what devices it will pair with. I use a cheapo Jabra hands free unit and that seems to work ok.
If your Omnia can discover other BT devices then theres no problem with it, try putting your handsfree you just bought into discoverable mode and see if your laptop detects it.
Thanks for your help guys but, having looked at the devices web page I noticed quicky that there were NO Windows Phone 7 phones listed
Guess its WP7 being a bit "fussy".
Anyway, its going back to the Ebay seller. Can anyone recommend a solar powered BT unit that will work with WP7?
Hi.
I hope this is a suitable place for this topic, if not please direct me.
This is about what I see as a sorely needed Android mobile phone driver.
Devices like this have become dirt cheap, but to use one you still have the lug around a laptop or a tablet. So when you need to go delving into the innards of something, you'd better hope you've got your laptop/tablet with you. But everyone has a mobile phone with them all the time.
I've searched extensively for a driver that will allow one of these USB cable Enderscope devices to be plugged into a mobile phone and viewed on-screen, using the phone's screen as a viewer.
There are any number of tradespeople alone who would love to have something like this.
Could this be done?
Would it be difficult?
Are any of you developers interested?
Hello xda devs!
I've just bought a blue yeti microphone.
I want to livestream on Instagram and use it, however my device will not set the microphone to the external microphone.
There are apps such as Open Camera where you can record a video using your microphone as you can set the external microphone option in the settings, however I need a fix so my android device will ALWAYS use external microphone no matter what application is open.
I've literally tried everything.
I've also bought an adaptor which is female USB to headphone jack, however because the blue yeti needs to be powered by 5V, the headphone jack provides insufficient power to even power the yeti.
I've also tried an adaptor for female USB to usb type C. That powers the Yeti perfectly fine, however the problem persists.
It will not pick up the microphone in an external app that isn't "open camera".
I really need all the help I can get please as I'd love to stream and record with my yeti
Thank you
anyone able to help me please
Welcome to scamdroid.
If you want a real computer, camera, recording device, almost anything advanced users want (aka anyone who needs more than a phone to gossip about kim kardashian on and pester and stalk people busy doing important things) you need to buy such a dedicated device. When you begin to realize you are lied to about what it is then realize these are phones catered to people who gossip on phones 24/7 aka people who dont understand ANYTHING but running their mouths (the opposite of anyone educated or attempting to do anything with their life besides watch tv and gab).
Think about it, who made these phones popular? Apple.
Who is dumb enough to buy into apples lies that their computers are the worlds fastest supercomputers with counless customizations and other computers are just beige box shaped calculators and calanders. SJW kids at best.
You are merely experiencing one of hundreds or thousands of ways they sell this crap under lies and rip off schemes.
Keep down this road and you will begin to realize that XDA and Android talk and the 3rd site are all FILLED to the brim with mods and users who are apple kids whos tv told them to buy an android and youll end up like me avoiding these sites for the same reasons you avoid "the sun" "uk mail and any pop celebrity gossip site. Sure you want to see Kim Kardashians butt, but the people who congregate there make u wanna puke.
The answer is this probably isnt possible because scamdroid software is very locked down and unlike the lies they sold the crap on to compete with crApple they are actually locking the devices down MORE and not being more open.
Expect to not be able to read this when one of the fanboi mods gets triggered im telling you how it is with their favoirte -apple- google device.
Also i heard that the OTG cables were made obsolete and they dont work right unless its a direct USB-c one. $$$$$ I wouldnt expect it to work either way, ive got a few plain mic/speaker splitters and 2/3 dont work and if they do you have to plug them in a certain order and still the one that works distorts the line out.
If you really wanna attempt ill tell you how since these other people dont know. Starting basic droid camera you must plug splitter in first, THEN plug mic into mic in side of splitter. Your problem a little different but apprently the device is smart enough to do such extreme things and maybe im exposing a loophole they havent locked down yet :/ . Anyways try the order you plug crap into the system with xD Or better yet, stop using android like its more than a calaculator, or just throw it in the trash so other idiots can't waste your time calling and texting you about useless extending nothing/gossip and oopposite sex trying to leash u with it, or dont; either way just buy a dedicated camera that will work with the mic. Im done with this trendy hipsters "smart" phone crap, Its dumber than most humans and they are dumber than most dogs, so get a dog and give him your android as a chew toy and buy an actual camera and call it a day. remeber google and samsung sell cameras ad own audio companies, they dont want you to NOT buy that. Theyll only lock them down more and these sites will continue to make fake reviews praising them
With all due respect, "HorrorAngel," your response to the inquiry is useless, rude and absolutely wrong. 1) According to the manufacturer (Blue), the Yeti device CAN be used in conjunction with the Android Samsung 9 series phones. 2) The latest round of Samsung 9 series phones include a back-facing 12-megapixel, 4K quality camera, which is BETTER than the professional cameras I had in my network television studio, back in Chicago (ergo, your assertions are utter bunk). 3) I was just in Mexico City, where I watched as a professional television crew used this EXACT set-up (smartphone and Blue Yeti) for a remote, network interview. Do us all a favor, "Horror," and shut up, if you have nothing useful to contribute. As of now, your rant merely comes across as trolling crap. Get a life...
---------- Post added at 01:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:57 AM ----------
From what I gather (from Blue, the manufacturer), you can power the Yeti by using an adapter and plugging into the USB 3 port. I was given the same information in conversation with techs at Best Buy's "Geek Squad" support. I have just purchased a Samsung 9 Note, with a 12 megapixel camera, for the exact purpose of using this device to broadcast live, streaming television, using the Yeti as my microphone. Regardless of what a troll has ranted, in an earlier comment, I believe this setup with be successful, as others around the 'Net have already written of their successes. Once I have gotten everything set, and made a first test, I plan to report back on this site with my results.
Good luck! :good:

HorrorAngel bro I don't know about cameras but I am a computer engineer and I was horrirized reading your reply.
"scamdroid" is free and open source OS from google so ..... I can't see the scam ^^ 'you can actually download android, make some changes and then call it a ROM (custom android), as you can search "Best android custom roms" on the internet and install them into your phone. Thats why phones use android, its free. Apple btw makes you pay both for the phone and the software, that also means you can't change it. I have both android and iphone, and also have a phone with Ubuntu Touch from Linux, and I would recommend android because of that, the software is open and unlocked (it isnt by default, you can change it with 3 clicks to enter the risky mode. They do that to make people not destroy the phone's software).
Dont cry if android cant do something you want because it is software and if has limits. There are a lot of programmers like me working on making phones simple to understand but seems that even making it essy there are people like you that are simply blind and don't want to listen.
