So it seams that my OTG cable works fine for thumbdrives and the likes. But when I attach my D7000, no dice. The activity light on the camera comes on for a second or two like its trying to negotiate the USB connection and then turns off.
I check the /mnt/usbOTG OR /usbOTG folder and get nada. After reviewing some of the other threads I pulled down the USB OTG Watcher and same behavior. Thumb drivers are recognized no problem, but when the D7000 is attached its like nothing is working.
Ideas?

You don't have to use that for a dslr. It should be just going into the gallery and hook up the camera.

That was the first thing I tried. Should have mentioned that. Opening the gallery does not show me anything from the camera.
Ok asked the wife. She says it should show imported pictures in the gallery when your camera is hooked up. It is a folder and then you can import them from there.

Also it could be the root your using. I stuck to stock root on mine but never tested her dslr on it. I an going to test stock 3.2.2 when w get our xooms back from the upgrade. I am going they put in the ability to use my hdd and other stuff with the otg cable. If not rooting here I come.

my xoom only detects my d7000 when it has 2 memory cards inserted in it. Well, it opens the gallery app with only 1 card loaded but shows 0 pics regardless of whether there are jpegs on the card or not. I'm running rooted 3.2 with the tiamat kernel.
Put 2 cards in and it works great! Now if only I could figure out how to get the raw images off the camera without a card reader...

I usually just set the camera to record a Raw file on one card and a .jpeg on the other so that I can transfer the .jpeg to the Xoom for preview on it's larger screen but leave the large Raw files on the camera's card since it will take up too much space on the Xoom and not be viewable. As another option, your second card in the camera could be the Eye-Fi card which has an Android app and will wirelessly transmit all files or just jpegs to the Xoom while you shoot.

This is good know that it is working. I'll have to keep playing with it and see, maybe get another OTG cable just to be sure.
Yeah, using the wrong OTA adapter would cause you problems. If a flash drive works with the adapter, the D7000 should work too.
Alternative method to OTP
Hi..
I also have nikon d7000 but i never use otg to tranfer my files. But if you want to transfer your files you can use other alternative methods to otg such as wifi sd card which share files with wireless connection or your can use Nikon d7000 camera firmware A:104/B:1.05 which is need to be install in your OS and then you can simply work on it. For more help and other alternative ways you can use nikon d7000 manual.

Need some help with this. I have a trail camera for watching deer in the woods. It has a SD card adapter with transflash card in it to record the photos on. I have an android phone with transflash card. But if I swap them out I lose my custom ringtones I have set up for everyone. Is there some way I can get those photos onto my cell phone without having to bring the trail camera home and download the photos?

Only Way I Can Think Of Is To Connect To Your Computer For Transfer, Either That Or Email Them To Yourself, Then Go To Email From Your Phone! Also I Would Recommend Making A SDCard Backup On A Computer, In Case Of Losing Files, Say (Ringtones)

What I was thinking was a male to male mini usb cable. But I guess the phone doesn't have the drivers to read from another usb device.

What if you just copy the custom ringtones to the internal memory of your phone with a file manager, swap the cards and then copy them back to the card?
So I'm still waiting for the 3.1 update sadly. And I'm curious if anyone attempted to hook up their xoom to any dslr or camera of any sort. This would certainly bring my dslr to a new level.
Yes I have. I've not a dslr but a digital camera capable of using the host function. What do you need to know?
Just basically how it handles the transfer. Do I need a file manager program like astro file manager? Can I specify the directory from and where the images go.

i pretty much got told i was an idiot in this post, and had my thread hijacked. screw those retards, im doing way more with my XOOM then they will dream of.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073396
i hooked mine up, works great. you dont need astro. it asks to import in gallery. If you want to move your photos around to edit on photoshop mobile, youll need it since galley puts the imports into a "imported" folder in the /sdcard root. photoshop mobile does not look there, it goes to DCIM.
apologies i missed this post but good answer from above there.
and photshop mobile.. is it any good? (partial thread hijack.. )
Also, be aware, it doesn't prompt for overwrites. I was testing it at work doing product photography. I imported the first batch of photos, picked the keepers and started the next batch, another person had disabled the sequential numbering on the camera so deleting the first batch from the SD card reset the counter. Upon importing the second batch, I lost all of my first batch.
Beyond that, it works quite well.
My rooted xoom on 3.1 does not even 'see' my canon 60D (and vice versa) when connected with my OTG cable
I know my OTG cable is fine because it works with all my flash drives, external HDDs, and card reader
Normally when I plug in the 60D to the computer, the camera turns itself into USB mode (cannot shoot photos), but when plugged to my xoom, it appears as if nothing is plugged in (still shoots photos properly)
Works great with pro SLR's!!!
Love it! I plugged my Nikon D3S, D3X and D700 pro SLR cameras into it and my pictures showed up in the gallery!!! This is a HUGE benefit since now I can leave my tablet PC at home and use the Xoom to quick email some proofs.
Now if only the Micro SD slot would work without rooting!
how about connecting usb hd webcam? (if powered from external source...)
is it possible to record videos from such camera?
Using Tiamat and Sony DSLR's hook up no problem as long as you use the special cable. I read that 3.1 will allow usb host too but I do not know how much more or less will be supported with stock vs the Tiamat kernel. Will you still need the special usb cable with 3.1 so that usbhost will work, or will any usb cable work? I know I tried with the Tiamat one and it did not work, which is why I ordered the special cable.
I've a Canon T2i and I can only import pictures as long they are jpgs. Does anybody imported RAW pictures (.CR2) into the xoom? I can't find the directory where my camera is mounted so I can move my pictures manually, it would be awesome if I can see my raw images but at least I want to use my xoom as a storage.
Thanks

Your camera most likely is in a USB Host mode and not PTP mode. I had the same problem with my camera. Its a simple fix just go to your camera USB options and set it to PTP. Also my camera needed power, it didn't when plugged into my MAC.
I have a video that shows this basically works. This highlights all the 3.1 features so I apologize for it not having just a video on that. But to see the OTG Camera Picture Import go to 6:20 in the video.

Hey, I also have a Canon but a 7D, can you try something for me?, hook up the camera, on the gallery go as if you were to import the pics and deselect all, then double click one to view the pic in full screen, now click once on the screen to pull up the scroll at the bottom that shows all the pics, scroll all the way to the last pic (I have about 300 on it) and see if your camera shows an error message 70 Shooting is not possible, bla bla... let me know how it goes.
Thanks
What kind of cable or adapter do I need to do this. Everything I have is used for plugging into my PC and obviously the end of the USB is way to big for this.
Ideas for best video conferencing app?

Having a similar issues with a rooted xoom running 3.1 and tiamat 1.4.2. as soon as i plug my t2i in it freezes the camera till it is unplugged. while plugged in nothing shows up in gallery to import. tried plugging in a samsung point and shoot also and no go. Trying to look into it further.
update:got bored and went back to 3.0.1 & relocked and got the ota update and my t2i works fine. now to reflash tiamat and see if it still works or if it is indeed the source of the problem.

do you happen to know how to use adb logcat? looking to see what your xoom is doing to access your t2i that mine isn't.edit: never mind i got it. and for your question: raw pictures are stored in a slightly different format for each camera and you would need a program that was compatible with the t2i's format in order to view them. The gallery simply doesn't have that functionality so you won't be able to import them. also, the t2i isn't mounted as a drive when plugged in so you won't be able to access the files directly.
thanks for the reminder, but unfortunately, i've checked many places, but the Canon 60D has no option to turn on PTP... guess i shall need to wait for a firmware update or something
wifi xoom running 3.1 (non-rooted)
I bought the Motorola Camera Connection Kit (OTG Cable), connected my digital camera and it worked perfect. However, I'm trying to see if i can plug in a usb thumb drive... but I can't get it to work? Do I need to do anything special to mount it? What filesystem would it mount as?
Thanks in advance
I may be wrong on this but I didn't think 3.1 stock had flash drive access...?
maybe I'm confused too then? I thought 3.1 added usb host support...
only for cameras, video game controllers, mouse and keyboard.
ahh, that explains it... thanks!
Is it using the camera protocol? My cameras have always shown up as mass storage on my computers. I haven't tried a camera on my xoom yet.
i just tried with my camera. it still won't work. guess we have to mount the drive.

Anyone have a flip camcorder who could test that out?
Edit: I went and bought the camera connection kit. Was able to get videos off my flip by navigating to /mnt/usbOTG (with the flip attached obviously). I'm rooted and using the latest Tiamat kernel though. US WiFi model.
Hey guys. I had a lot of problems with USB Mounting myself so I tried all sorts of things to fix it. However, there actually is an easier way. A lot of stores sell microSD + adapters for really cheap especially for 2 GB and those have no problems being read by the computer. So if you have a SD slot, there is that solution.
It's very inconvenient to turn off your phone, take off the back cover, take out the battery, take the sd card out, put it in the reader, transfer the files, put the card back, battery back, cover back, power up, then do what you need to.
What problems are you having?
For small files I just use Dropbox to transfer.

ssh/sftp, wireless adb
I just turn on wifi for my phone, then connect with my home computer to the ipaddress via ssh on the command line or secure ftp with some sort of ftp client that supports sftp (filezilla or some desktop environments support it natively, like linux ones).
If your computer has ssh server set up (easy to do in linux or if you're on windows, then i reccomend installing the package from cygwin), then you can connect from your phone to your computer as well to grab files and such (and do so anywhere, not just over wifi).
I use a usb card reader just as backup incase I can't get to a *img.zip to keep my bootloader from executing it.
I have a micro usb cable plugged into my laptop dock. On my phone, I installed the app "Auto Mount USB". Then I just plug in my phone. One quick motion.
Much easier than prying open the battery cover, taking out the battery, taking out the microSD, putting it into my microSD to regular SD adapter, and finally (whew) putting that into my laptop's SD card slot.
I've recently installed an app called WebSharing Lite from the market. It basically starts a webserver on the phone that you can access via browser from any PC on the same wifi network. From there you can move files around etc. Works awesome.

i used to use bluetooth file transfer. now i use dropbox even for files as big as 88mb ive used it. downloading it over 4g takes about a minute and a half.
i would just upload them to a storage site then download it to my desktop
You can just use recovery under mounts and storage then mount as usb storage. Allot easier and faster.

SD card adapter is nice when youre having phone troubles...
I thought about using SSH on my phone, just haven't taken the time to set it up. i SCP files around at work all the time...
It's pretty easy to do if you just want to use a gui frontend (few apps on the market).

since you already know what you're doing, should be up and running in 10-20mins
Wifi file explorer is also a really nice option. It's what I use and I can't complain about it. Simple apply that doesn't require actually mounting the sd card so you can still access anything on the phone and the computer simultaneously.
the kernel devs have found a fix for it. you have to connect to PC using internet passthrough let it intall the drivers and then moust usb storage that worked for me
Hello,
New to Android and new to this forum. I have my TF700T two weeks now and I'm glad I bought it. My target is to copy the content of my Compact Flash cards (16GB each - from my DSLR) to a portable hard drive. Therefore I tried to connect both a card reader and a portable hard drive via an auto-powered USB-hub to the only usb-connection of my tablet. I even tried with another hub and even with a third hub. The only result was that my tablet only found the first device that was connected (regardless wich one: the CF-card or the HD) with the hub and not both at the same time, so copying from the CF-card to the drive isn't possible in one step. Sure I can copy the CF-card to the internal memory of the tablet and in a second pass move it to the HD, but that is very time-consuming.
Anyone who knows how to connect more then one usb-device at the same time via a powered USB-hub and do a file transfer between them? Your help is greatly appriciated.
You can use wi fi transfer to do it with a file manager, like file expert.

@tbtaf: When on vacation or on a photo trip I only have that portable hd, my tablet and a powered usb hub. I think a Wifi appraoch is not applicable then. Or am I missing something?
Sounds like you need to setup a second mount point for the additional device - don't know if that can actually be done or not, but I do know that some people who could not even connect the first device were able to manually specify the device by mounting it in a terminal window.
I'm not sure 100% on the code, but let me try to find out.
Or you could copy the 16 Gb CF card onto the pad's internal memory (or external MicroSD card), disconnect it, connect the HD and then copy it out again.

He already mentioned, he doesn't want to do this, he wants to copy straight.
For now, it's not possible since the powered hub or non power hub unable to recognize 2 devices at the same time.
CF, now there's nostalgia if anything. I thought those became outdated over 3 years ago... Fact is the CF is hardly compatible with mobile devices these days.
No, you can't copy from an external cardreader directly onto an external HDD through your tablet. It can only read 1 storage device in the USB port. Multiple devices works, but multiple storages doesn't. Some people have had some success with USB Flashdrives/Pendrives instead of HDD's though. You could try that.
You can copy from an SD to HDD easily though, so you could consider using an SD with a CF adapter if your camera has no SD slot. (SD's have the added advantage that the pins can't bent.)
