any apps out there for android phones that allow you to attach storage device to your phone to access files?
example
plug a external harddrive into the usb port of my android phone and access the files on the hd
yes i know this will need an adaptor
This would require host-mode for the USB port. I understand that someone got it (sorta) working on Nexus One. There was a discussion about whether G1 can even do it as it requires some HW support as well. No one knows for sure and no one with the skills has chosen to invest the time finding out.

Necro-bump, wanted to know if there was anything new on this front. I know that tablets with Android OS and such will keep coming to compete with the iPad with its USB connectivity kit, so it makes sense that sooner or later, Android OS seems like it will want to consider heading in this route.
Here is the older hack that shows it is pretty simple for anyone with basic soldering skills to enable USB OTG host mode on certain android devices and could be adapted I'm sure for other android devices:
http://hackaday.com/2010/02/10/usb-host-mode-for-droid/
The main problem is that Android does not have much support for USB hosting (yet, I bet that its surely coming). The TI OMAP platform (hmm, Droid X?) already has linux host USB drivers made. A talented programmer could use these to write a Kernal mode support to insert into a custom ROM or let root users install an app from the market to interface with USB devices. This way users could connect USB to SPDIF DACs and adapters to use mass storage devices like external usb keys or hard drives. Even possibly a normal keyboard/game controller/screen printer/webcam if your crazy enough. Too good to be true?
Here is a start on the project which has gotten some impressive progress: http://groups.google.com/group/android-kernel/browse_thread/thread/c8471573d7553331/0b0887947678ff87
Someone may actually be making progress on this. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794643
Amazing! Thanks.

I know that USB Host is a Honeycomb feature, but it seems that Samsung has somehow ported it to Gingerbread for the GS2. Does anyone know if any of the Sensation ROMs will ever be able to support USB host?
Btw, this is taken from the DSLR Controller post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16497326&postcount=257), but the package we would need is android.hardware.usb.host.
I'm interested in getting USB Host mode too for that very purpose. Hope it happens soon.
Hello,
any progres with USB host on HTC sensation?
I probably must kill my self becouse i bought sensationg betwean Samsung S2 with default USB support
Stupid nokia N8 support usb HOST....
I try google some posibilites but i didnt find anything
Thx alot Martin
If the t-mobile version of the galaxy s2(aka Hercules) can do it, then we should for we share the same class of SoC(the MSM8260 vs the APQ8060), the only difference being the APQ is without a Qualcom modem. Also they both support USB OTG according to the Qualcomm specs for the Gen 3 Snapdragons. Now we just need someone to port it over.
I found arcticle when Somebody aply usb host support tu HTC DHD
Included:
new kernel
2 new modules
and probably some new "software" for using it.
Could someone be interested in developing the usb host features?? If I had the technical competences, I would develop it...but I don't know how to do it!!
If someone it's interested in it, I could donate something
Thank you
would be very nice to have such option. just perfect to copy something from one's flash stick.
When i had xperia neo, a person(a gr8 person) ported the modules into xperia 2011 series- Doomlord
Some developer should contact him
Sent from my htc Sensation 4G using XDA App
this would be of interest to me, I'm guessing we just need one or two kernel modules, and an app to load/unload them
i'm intrested too, is there news ?
USB Host mode would actually the one feature missing to make ICS perfect
I am very interested in this feature too, but can't find any solutions :/
And there is any progress? The USB Host Diagnostics v1.2 says me only NO
works on ICS?

OTG USB on HTC MAGIC
I found this (Sorry i cannot post a link so you have to search for >> USB Host Mode on HTC Dream << on Blogspot) It is a step by step howto recompile a kernel with USB Host Support. Iwill try it on my old G1. But first I need a adapter or better a schematic for diy, so i can test if it works.
Greetings Hubert
tried today bricked kernel, which is supposed to have usb host... usb host diagnostics said no... and the device wasnt recognised...
Yesterday i got a USB cable with OTG.
Is this cable will be good?

The cable does not work at all. I can not even install the program USB Host Controller (e.g.). I ask because in HD2 had to connect the external power supply.

the cable itself is ok, but since we don't have otg working yet it won't work. If we ever get otg working i don't know if you have to power every device, a lot of devices will need power like external hdd's.
google nexus one & desire
Hey guys,
wasn't there news that ICS would have quite a few usb drives implemented.
Anyway, I know there was a big fuss about usb host mode in the google nexus one section and since they were one of the first to get ics working, maybe somebody from there could help out. Like from the top of my head leedroid, or somebody like him.
Can't post any links sorry.
Hey peeps,i saw that the Desire HD has USB-OTG mod,so it might be possible to apply that patch over here.
Anybody willing to test?It requires the specific cable for testing!
NOTE-It might burn your motherboard due to excessive voltage/power!

Hi, this idea sounds great! Unfortunately I am (still) too big a noob to try this (as you can see, I just joined this forum).
I was wondering if there is a way to connect a usb peripheral (especially a USB-keyboard) and make the Galaxy S Plus i9001 function as a USB-host.

any phones which didnt have tv-out by company,and devs did it?
If the arc s has (mini) hdmi out, this port is directly connected with the chipboard. You'll see that every msm8255-related board has hdmi connection possibilities when you look on the specification plan / roadmap of qualcomm about this board. It's impossible to use the mini usb port -> usb -> hdmi, by any usb to hdmi converter. There's windows, mac or linux based software needed for output in hdmi.
The sgs, sgs + (and possibly the i9003 as well) got a tv out trough the 3.5 mm jack. There was a thread about it a couple of months ago, since samsung made it impossible to connect it with a universal cable. Samsung changed the connector slightly to force people to buy the official samsung cables for this.

You mean the 3.5 mm to video connectors (3 colors analog connector, I forgot how they're called...)? Samsung should be selling those cables, but I havent searched for them. Camcorders of about ten years back often use them, however they wont work with galaxy s phones, since they made the connection proprietaire...
Getting the mini hdmi output connector on the msm8255 board is impossible of course (or someone should be willing to be soldering a mini hdmi connector on its phone )

if it is possible to build a kernel with usbotg support it should also be possible to make the sgs+ compatible with the car/deskdock
since chrismas i have a original samsung car dock, but as many others i have problems with charging/connecting.
i know the trick with "connecting slowly/half". it works, but this is not very comfortable.
isnt it possible to have a lock in the i9000 files to get the sgs+ compatible.
as far as i know samsung used the ID-Pin (no.4) in the micro usb connector to identify car or desk dock, as it is discribed in the official usb battery charging spec 1.2 ***.usb.org/developers/devclass_docs/BCv1.2.zip
the identification is a simple resistance messuament
and the 3 nominal values are 124k, 68k, 36.5k as discribed on page 56.
so maybe somebody can have a lock in the i9000 files and search for so called AccessoryChargerAdaptor detection (ACA dock).
or maybe someone knows an other way to get the sgs+ charging correctly in the car dock. (audio out isnt important)

No Driver is required
WTF ???
edit : can they prove that this cable works without any driver ? and kernel support ? how will this work without kernel support ? fishy...
it doesn't deny it. it DOES say "compatible mobile devices". if the i9003 isn't currently compatible, then it won't work, but if it is, it will. that's the way people do things without getting in trouble because they warn you that it only works with COMPATIBLE devices. a clever way to sell things without getting into trouble
so, does the seller actually claim, word for word, that it WILL work on an i9003? if not, then just take anyone's word for it (that knows what they're talking about) when they say tv out doesn't work on our device at this time
"no driver is required" is like my camera. nothing has to be installed for me to view pictures on my tv; it's programmed to work using the rca cable

I don't know how bad google trans mangles things converting all languages, but try this:
the seller does not claim it works on i9003 unless they say "it works on i9003". I will not buy it just to see if it works when others say it won't without a modified kernel.

product description is very clear. They have said that cable helps to show audio & vdo contents on tv. Means if u have mp3, vdo files then only it will show on tv. In real term its not a tv out. Tv out means porting mobile screen as it is on tv.

I tested with car bluetooth (blue5) & I could play video with sound on car screen.
does this bluetooth gadget use the 3.5mm jack? no. will it be helpful so people won't worry so much about tv? YES! do all tv's support bluetooth? NO!
provide a link to the bluetooth device and put it in the marketplace for those that want tv out now, and if they're desperate, they can pay for a bluetooth-supported tv too
for everyone else, a refresher AGAIN is that tv out uses the 3.5mm jack. if only audio is connected ON THE PHONE SIDE of the jack, only audio will be put out, so tv out won't work. I believe it's been said that's how our phone is set up currently.
Are you sure about it ? I'm going to buy one next week , any way I'll feedback
I don't think it's fake, i've read about it in a serious magazine.
These cables are available at your Local Electric shop at a price of 100INR or so.
What these cable to is, port over your MP3 to a sound system.
Or your Video to a TV system.
And, TV-OUT technically means that it should be able to show ANY screen ( Be it games, Apps or homescreen) to you Television set.
And, It needs a kernel which supports it!
One can not just od it without drivers.
If it's so, I would not mind paying a $200
So, This is not Tv-Out, This is only Music & Video out

You can play video with sound.
But, You cant play games which is seen on the TV.
And, I dont think it is worth $5!
You get it for $2 in any Indian Electrical shop.
Obviously, If you use the skills of bargaining wisely

i don't really have an idea for this, but i think it worth to give a try, since root your device isn't a bad thing to do as long you do it right. and make sure that your tab has USB debugging enabled.
