Sensation lacks 2 functions that Galaxy S2 have:
-OTG (and our chipset support USB Host, so it's possible)
-Wi-Fi Direct!!! I found now Wi-Fi Direct under Wireless Setting on Virtuous Inquisition v1.4.2 ICS Rom!!!!
Can someone, with a SGS2 or with 2 Sensation, try if it's only a dummy option or if it's fully functional???
BT 3.0 take years to transfer 100mb+ files
its a feature of ICS
but, it's really working?
it kind of works
i just tired it out with my roommates sgs2 and my sen4g
it found my sen4g when i turned it on but when i try to open the settings to accept it wouldnt open
i wonder if its because i am using the stock settings apk
running insertcoin
ICS has support both WiFi direct and USB OTG. Not sure if USB OTG is functional yet in any of the ICS ROMs out there.

hi,
after i installed >THIS< on my optimus one two things don't work anymore:
the usb connection to any pc
the camera don't work "no connection to camera"
i hope anyone can help me and my lg p500.
thank you all very much!!!!
Look at these:
"Reported Bugs:
Wifi Calling aint connecting
ADB not displaying although its working... known issue with older kernels
USB Tethering does not work. (once again old kernel with specific patches needed)
Bluetooth not working to its full potential.
Headset audio is mono. (Problem on similar phones still looking into issue)
Broke camera"
That was easy - install other android or wait to upgrade
Good luck
Has anyone been able to get USB tethering to work on Tiamat Manta Ray with the Tachi kernel? If you have can you please share with me the steps you took to get it working?
Thanks
I use USB OTG watcher - there is a thread somewhere here about it but it is available from the market. It doesn't work for me if USB debug mode is on. (i.e. settings>applications>development>"USB debugging" unchecked.
USB OTG watcher lets you mount the external drive and you can then browse to it using a file manager such as ES File Explorer.
Hope this helps.
Thanks I will give it a try with USB debugging turned off. I am not sure if the USB OTG watcher will be able to help though since I am trying to connect a USB wireless dongle to my Xoom and not a flash drive. I know some people have been able to get USB tethering to work with their Android phones so I am hoping I can get it to work with my dongle.
Sorry - didn't read your question properly! I haven't tried tethering in the way you meant.
Sent from my MZ601 using XDA App
Can someone confirm the correct script to run to enable USB tethering under this kernel? I am using Scripter (included in Manta Ray) and have entered the following...
dhcpcd usb1
setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8
When I run the script it gives me an error that interface USB1 could not be found or is invalid.
Thanks
Huckfin,
Following my mistaken response to you yesterday I tried tethering my Xoom to my laptop today. I attached the USB cable, checked my xoom was connected, and then went into Xoom settings>wireless and networking and and activated USB tethering. It worked straight off and I was able to browse etc on my laptop through my Xoom without any issues. I also checked to ensure all other networking was either off (wifi) or disconnected (network cable.)
I am on a UK 3g MZ601 Xoom with Tiamat 2.1 Hammerhead.
I'm not sure it helps solve your problem except that tethering, in my case, does seem to work without any issues.
My laptop is running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
Regards,
Sorry I am trying to USB tether in the opposite direction. You are sharing the connection from your Xoom to your PC. I have a WiFi only Xoom, so I am trying to tether my Xoom from either my cell phone or ideally a USB 4G dongle to my Xoom.
Does anyone use the USB tethering option on Tiamat's kernel?

Yes, it works for me using the script shown earlier in this thread. Could it be that you don't have the correct OTG cable? I purchased mine on ebay for a couple of bucks.
Note that I had problems tethering with Manta Ray, but stepping back to Hammerhead works just fine.
Thank you for your response, I was starting to think no one used this feature. I am slightly confused though. You said you stepped back to Hammerhead from Manta Ray. I thought Hammerhead is the newer ROM with the Tachometer kernel built in.
So just to make sure you are able to tether with Hammerhead and you had problems tethering with Manta Ray? I see a few people having issues with Hammerhead so I have been holding off for an update, plus having to wipe to update makes me a little hesitant.
Has anyone with 2.3.4 installed on tried using usb mouse or keyboard? Even usb flash drives? The 2.3.4 haves USB Host and Accessory Modes that theoretically allows that kind of things. You also need a microUSB to USB adaptor but you can make it if you have two spare cables. I am developing apps with external device connection and I would like to know this works due to the fact that I'm running 2.3.3 stock on my device.
Thank you.
A colleague of mine used a bluetooth mouse on his Samsung Galaxy S, at the time having 2.1-update1. You can try this option.
I don't need bluetooth devices, I need usb connection. Is far more reliable then bluetooth.
Think you need honeycomb or ics to use USB devices

This feature just work on devices that support USB On-the-go. don't try to make an app.
>> Please press Thanks:good: if you find this post useful <<
u need a USB Host enabled Hardware and Kernel to be able to use that.. it's not about old or new devices.. if it supports USB Host it will work. i am using USB keyboard on my Samsung i9100 (S II) and a chinese tab and it's working brilliantly. however it doesnt work on chacha for example.. however why would u use a USB keyboard what's the point of buying Chacha if u wont use it's keyboard no offense
Hi,
I have a rooted TF700 and a rooted Nexus S both running CM10.1. Is it possible to connect a USB cable from the dock of the Infinity to the Nexus S and use its network connection? If I plug a cable in then the USB tethering option in Settings is greyed out.
I imagine this would involve the use of a different kernel - I'm willing to try and make my own if I need to and someone can point out what config option needs to be compiled in.

If you do it, add the ability for two android devices to be connected together, one as host and the other as attached media device or attached storage so they can exchange files.
Regarding internet sharing, I do this now with my tab and my phone but over wifi. I just toggle my phones wifi hotspot (or you can tether for free with PDANet and FoxFi; depends on carrier - on Verizon fails to be able to download market apps so was dysfunctional for me) and connect the tabs wifi to the phones wifi shared internet (definition of a wifi hotspot). Waaaay better, no wires. And works on stock or unlocked/rooted/ROMd.

This is already possible using the Prime/Infinity dock's USB port I believe. Using the micro USB port on the tablet itself would not be possible as it registers as a client not a host.

Yep, this already works fine using the built-in Android hotspot. My issue is that my phone's battery dies in a couple of hours doing this. I want to use USB because it would use much less power on both the phone and the tablet (and the phone would actually charge while plugged into the dock!).
Actually it seems to work already! I was being less than smart and had forgotten to turn on 'USB tether' on the phone. It's a pity there's no notification on the tablet to show it has an internet connection via USB though.
hi guys,
I just installed CM 10.2 on my Evita - and for the most part I love it. There is just one problem - I work very frequently from coffee shops and need to tether with USB to be able to run it all day (wifi tethering consumes too much power even on connecting to the laptop).
Is there any non-Sense based ROM that lets me get USB tethering ? Or is there any app that allows me to do it ? Doesnt matter if it is paid.
(although I would rather contribute that money to someone who can fix the CM kernel in the first place)
easytether and pdanet should still work fine. i have easytether installed now on illusionrom. built-in usb tether should work on operating systems vista and later, it won't work on xp or earlier though.
