hello,
some of users have a big problem, the usb ports and the sd card not recognize any storage device we connect. the sulotion is to shutdown couple of times and redock again, and then only maybe it will back to work, is very annoying, who have a dock, know what i talking about.
i really want to solve this issue with asus, can anyone want to share his experience with this problem?
thank you guys

Not development.....at least attempt to read the rules first.

Just a general question and maybe something that no one ever really thought was useful. Is it possible plug an external hard drive into my android phone via a usb cable, and then access those files on that device. It is cumbersome but I have come across a situation where I would like to use my phone as a usb server and have it access these files on my external hard drive. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
i have never heard of this. i personally don't think it's possible man. but you never know. if there is something its DEFINITELY not public.
Yeah its definitely not normal, was hoping it may be built into a custom rom or something along those lines.
If your hardware supports USB host functionality, check out

Hi everyone, new member here. Just wanted to say thanks to the devs on this forum as I was able to root my nook color with honeycomb and was quite successful on the first try! I really enjoy it and it works exceptionally!
However I have a couple questions, that I'm not sure I could understand the answers to.
1. So I guess you can't use SD cards in the version we have loaded to the NC correct? I ask because I tried to mount mine, it seemed to lock up, so stupidly I popped it out. That basically cooked my SD card as now nothing will read it and it won't format in my PC, my digital camera, or anything else. Yes I know I am an idiot, just want to make sure I have the right understanding of how I screwed up.
2. When I plug my NC into my PC with the USB cable aside from charging the NC does not acknowledge its connected. On my PC it adds two "USB drives" of which if i try to access either it says "please insert a disk". So does rooted Honeycomb not work over the USB cable as well, or did I screw something up on my PC?
this is the Honeycomb I installed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=947071
Thanks for any help you guys can provide.
I did a search, and I couldn't find anything on it.
But I wanted to use my G2x as a memory device for the xbox 360 (to move game saves and such). But when I plug in the phone and enable usb mode, it doesn't show up under "storage devices", where it should be if the xbox recognized it.
I already tried formatting the drive to fat32, and still no luck... Any help?
you need to install drivers to mount storage on a pc, so I'm guessing it won't work on a 360 for that reason
Try "mass storage only mode" under SD Card and Phone storage in settings!

Ah. That does make sense. :/
I did try the solution that the poster above mentioned, but it still didn't work. Looks like I'm off to walmart to go buy myself a sandisk usb.
If anyone else has a solution or any ideas, it's never too late to post them. Maybe someone else will try in the future.
Ah darn, I had heard that would mount the external SD card on a PC without any drivers, but haven't tried it myself yet. You are using an external SD card?
Its not just the drivers. I know for a fact My 360 would read my stock G1 and with the earliest cyanogen roms, posibly as well with my N1.
once the rumors started about the "zune phone" which became the windows 7 phone media sync broke and xbox wouldnt see any of the phones. long story short M$ blocked you so W7 phones have an advantage

My car has a USB port and I can plugin to it USB thumb drives and I could also plugin my old MyTouch 3G to it and I could play music off of them.
I cannot play music on my phone through the USB port. I assumed it was because of the drivers issue, which is REALLY unfortunate because that was great functionality...
Anyone know if these issues persist after rooting and loading a Cyanogen rom?

That isnt what this thread is about. this is about the ability for xbox to read android phones. it used to, but now it does not.
your issue could be one of a few things. anything from your specific rom to making sure mass storage mode is checked or mounting the USB when prompted. Im not sure how yours works as I prefer the AUX on my head unit
Apologies, I searched the forums and stumbled onto this, as I read through i thought it could be related and put in a reply.
I never get the prompt on my phone to mount it...which is what prompted me to search the forums. I'll keep looking
I've looked at all relevant threads in the Xoom forums and on the web but still can't find the solution to my problem so I'm hoping one of you guys can help me.
I have:
1.Motorola Xoom US WiFi(But bought in Singapore, MZ604)
2.Working DIYed USB Host Cable(I plugged my DHD into the microUSB end and a normal USB-USB cable at the other then plugged into my computer
3.Sandisk ThumbDrive, Kingston ThumbDrive, FAT32
4.Microsoft USB Mouse
I'm running the awesomely win Tiamat ROM(thanks) as well as the kernel which I was told worked from the this thread(Tiamat 1.4.2), I have the USB Watcher OTG app too. But not only can I not mount or use any USB device, the devices do not light up. there appears to be no power flowing to the devices.
A little help please
Thanks for reading this post
BTW After flashing the 1.4.4 Kernel my WiFi refused to work so I downgraded.
When you searched other threads, you missed a very relevant one. In this section, exactly 12 posts below yours, is a similar thread with this post:
"I'm not sure if its a power problem or the unusual way the built-in Sandisk software mounts the drive (it mounts as a "cd drive" in Windows); but Sandisks are problematic.
If you can, please try another thumb drive just to be sure. Preferably, one with no lights (to minimize power requirements) and not a Sandisk or Kingston, which both use proprietary built-in software upon insertion into PC usb ports."
Secondly, you should not have flashed another Tiamat kernel. 1.4.4 is included in the Tiamat 1.0 ROM. BRD stated that in the OP of that thread. You may want to reflash the Tiamat 1.0 ROM again. Then you will not need to flash any other kernel.
I'm sorry if I was not clear, but my sandisk or Kingston appears to be of the type which does not have the annoying U3 thing(the thing mentioned that causes the thumbdrive to mount as a cd drive.) I reflashed the 1.4.4 kernel just to be sure it's there(oh and I did reflash the ROM), and got a error what prevented WiFi from working. And none of the USB devices I tried(including the kingston with no lights) worked. I think there's no power, so I'm looking for help here. Anyway thanks for reading my long post, sorry if I'm annoying.

If your wifi is not working, I would recommend reflashing the ROM. USB drive connection has been problematic. See this thread > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068999
I usually connect devices through a hub on a stock unrooted xoom wifi running 3.1. Without the hub I've found usb mice work without external power (provided by the hub) but flash drives do not. For troubleshooting maybe try connecting through an externally powered hub to see if you don't meet the power requirements.
Honestly though, since the flash drive's light doesn't even come on it sounds like the xoom is not recognizing that it should be a host which hints to me that there's something wrong with the cable. The way you tested it doesn't sound like it tests the OTG part of the cable (the 5th pin) because the PC will be the host either way. I just bought Motorola's Camera Connection Kit off of amazon. I figured for long term use it's better than a home made one anyway. I'd post the link but I don't have enough posts yet...just search Motorola Camera Connection Kit on amazon if you're interested.
Hi all, I noticed that in Marshmallow Google moved the options for MTP/PTP into developer options, which is kind of odd. One explanation I saw online is that it's because of adoptable storage making it not possible to access the SD card files over USB and and on the phone, which makes no sense because a) that's why we switched to MTP in the first place and b) Nexuses don't have SD card slots. But OK, fine, they moved the setting for some reason, probably just a mistake making it into the release build. But now after flashing stock 6.0.1 and rooting via SuperSU, USB connectivity to a PC does not work at all, no adb, no MTP, nothing. Tested on two different laptops, Linux and Windows. Even charging is slower (it literally says "charging slowly" on the lock screen) and I can't access files or use USB tethering. Has anyone else experienced this, and does anyone know of a fix?
Posting here because while I no longer use ROMs, I feel like people here tend to know about random issues like this more.
Thanks!
