Connect a usb flashdrive to HOX?? - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

I just came to this phone from the E4GT and I love it. Dont love the 12 gb hard drive though. I have heard on the E4GT that you can get a adapter that alows to to connect usb devices into your phone including a flash drive. Does anyone know if that would work on our phones and what its called? +1 for any help. Thanks

I could be wrong, but this is what I've read:
I don't think anyone's tried it yet. You could be the first to try it and report back!
I bought an OTG cable (this is the adapter you'll need, it's a pretty easy google search) for my HTC Jetstream, but that's still running HC 3.1, and doesn't support this feature yet. Hence, the cable has wound up in an unknown box/drawer/under my bed. If I can find it, I'll test this out with the One X and give'er a shot.

Ya it would be awsome if it did. This is the best phone ive ever had but i hate the low storage space. How can they even call it 16 when you can only use 12 lol.

Yeah, that really pisses me off. Everyone does it though. It's the same on the HP Touchpad. 32GB my a**, only 25 is usable. On the One X actually, even 12GB is misleading. 2 of that is dedicated to apps, bringing your "sdcard" down to 10. (9.93 to be more precise.)

It doesnt work. Tried it last week when i got the phone with 3 different usb keys and even a USB 360gig drive on a powered hub A custom rom will be needed.

The international One X just got a custom kernel with USB OTG enabled. Who knows when they'll release the source code for the S4 1X kernel so we can get the same though.

[Q] Unrooted and reflashed multiple times. At a loss....

I restored to stock using
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112555
then rooted it using super one click and then backing up my recovery file and using 3e recovery file...then downloaded rom manager and used that to install bionix rom but same issues I have had since getting my infuse...I will download apps and in the middle of them installing, my phone will reboot and delete random apps...I've unrooted and tried a couple times...so do I just have a bum device? I've moved the apps to phone memory also. They delete also when simply just rebooting my device. It seems over time that it becomes the same apps that delete while others will stay.
I have tried searching but couldn't come up with much. I am going to attempt to unroot and then try it all over again.
EDIT: Finished and it is still removing apps with every reboot...guess the phones going back.
....move problem apps to phone instead of sd.
Is it doing the samething under stock ? And have u tried installing from .apk instead of market?

I move them all right away to the phone memory and when I first got the phone I noticed it was doing it when it was stock also. I read somewhere about a certain number of phones having a problem with the LCD at the very bottom where it looked like txt rolling under old warped glass? It's not noticeable unless your looking for it...but if there was a bad batch of phones maybe this is related?

Here is a suggestion.
Put your phone into mass storage mode and copy/backup everything on your external sd card to your computer.
Unplug usb go to settings>applications>development and disable USB debugging, then plug in USB cable from computer, and select mass storage mode.
Then open "computer or my computer" on your pc and find your external sd card drive icon.
Right click mouse on the icon and select "format"
(be 100% sure that the drive you are formatting is your external sdcard)
After you are sure of that, uncheck the box which says "quick format" leave all other options alone and start the format, when its done formatting
copy all the files you backed up to your external sd card and I am almost certain that after doing this you will have no problems with your external sdcard.
Good luck!

OK so by my name you can see where I came from. I started with the atrix and it sucked , very unhappy with that phone. Went back into my iPhone 4. Then tried the HTC inspire, crashed non stop , very dissapointing. Nothing seemed to measure up and facetime was something I missed big time. Back to my iPhone those phones lasted 4 weeks combined. I have been in this phone for 3 weeks and while I look for.things I was use too some, its overall a better phone for me than iPhone. Like the SMS apps, customization better, the screen being bigger is a huge one. The 8 MPH camera is awesome. Used a pic I took for my website and it looks great. Multiple launchers to give you the feel you want. I get some force closes , but my ios did too. I was jailbroken so I could use my phone to the fullest.
The speed of this phone is great and I am sold on android after this. That's just my thoughts I would say u have a bad unit and give it another shot. I will get the galaxy s2 when it arrives. If the iPhone 5 isnt 4.2" I wont even sniff it, unless there is chocolate on it.

Your battery life and speed can dramatically increase, I'm still a beginner to rooting and all this good stuff so that's the most significant change I saw as of now.
It can be costly when you dont know what your doing but if you.do it right it can save you money(from mobile hotspot) and increase speed

Well one way is changing nunbers my girl got her g2x couple days after me.. And her hotspot didnt work eirher after changing phones. We had problems with her data that she would browse the internet, then out of nowhere sge gets redirected to web2go.com sating she has no data, and 1.99 charge to continue. We had this issue for 2wks, they didbt know what to do, had 4 replacement phones because thats all they suggested, 2 new sim cards, refreshed the network to many times, factory reset.. I told them it has to be the network because even if she swapped phones with me or tried another problem would follow, i suggested to change number, rep said no, supervisor said that wouldn't help. So he ordered another replacement, monday it came, same thing. Called again, this time demanded her number changed, few minutes later internet worked from there on. Even her hotspot well, working because network hasnt detected the new number.. But hers is working for now..

She's tough, she doesn't like change... took me forever to get her to upgrade her PC... The only reason she has the sgs4g is it was a gift... She sees the customizations on my phone and says " why don't I have that ? " and I say. " Let me flash your phone and you will" and shes silent .... So there's a glimpse of hope... maybe the size of a dust particle but its there ...lol..

Sorry to pester, but what ROM/ kernel fixed the "kinda muffled"? Did you use those earbuds on both stock and whatever your are using now? I used to be an audiophile - not that I expect that quality out of the cheap DACs they use in these phones, but free improvement is free, and I like free....

Hi all guys,
Yesterday I bought a Atrix 4G lapdock very cheap , but when I tried to connect my phone (Motorola Atrix 2), it didn't work and I turn the connectors (HDMI, USB) for my atrix 2, when I did this I could connect the phone to the lapdock but when I opened the lapdock appears the Desktop for 5 seconds and suddenly it freeze and on the phone appears a message "UNSUPPORTED DEVICE This device is not optimized to work with this lapdock model".
- Is there something that I can do ??
Please any solution... Thanks
Thanks I found the solution

Okay but what I don't understand is, if you have a laptop, why would you connect the phone in webtop mode to that? Your laptop should be capable of more than your phone. Or maybe I'm missing something? Not being sarcastic or anything I just seriously do not understand the point of it

One of the things that would entice me to use my phone as opposed to my laptop would be the easy ability to keep your computer's and phone's files in sync, and multitasking on your phone's view as well as a full laptop.

I've mod'ed three of those OG Atrix Lapdocks (2 for atrix 2's and one for a droid razr). It's a simple mod just swapping the connectors, and any problems I had getting the webtop to come up properly were resolved by simply completely rebooting the phone. Once I did the full reboot and everything loaded back up I dropped it into the Lapdock and had no issues with functionality. My phone constantly shows the unsupported device note on 2.3.6 rooted, but it has no effect on the use of the Lapdock.
I'm hoping to try the full Ubuntu mod eventually, but haven't come up with the time to tackle it yet.

It's smaller than most laptops. Don't get me wrong, I'd much prefer a MacBook Air (pretty much incomparably better in fact) but this is $60 instead of $999. I have lots of devices but the one thing I don't have at the moment is an ultraportable laptop (my laptop is powerful but it's pretty big, more of a desktop replacement), so this fills the gap nicely.
They started out at $500 and I'd agree with your logic at that price. They should be ashamed at that one actually, considering most of the computing power is in the phone.

I'm lost. Aren't you supposed to plug it into a laptop to get webtop mode? Please explain it to me, I know with the hack I have used webtop mode on my TV. Is the lapdock a small monitor or just a cradle that enables webtop mode and you still need a medium to connect to?

The jig says in the description that it doesn't work on our phone, is that true.

no its not. It DOES work, i tested mine 4 times in a row. Turn off Device entirely. Then plug up the JIG , and BAM, turns on , on its own into Download mode
Heres a video of it working which i just recorded now @ work for you to see

Its designed to work for any of the GALAXY based phones by Samsung. Thats what i was told at least. And it worked great with mine if you saw the above video i posted :silly:
I appreciate you posting this. Was just researching on the OTG as well. Ordering mine from Amazon now. Already had the mhl for 6 months. Was worried that the otg cable would not power a thumb drive. Now I know. Thanks!
Yup sure does, i tried both FAT32 and NTFS Flash drives... Next up is external HDD
Now i need a transformer or a Tab 2
For a USB powered external hdd you need a powered USB hub. If you plug in the hdd directly into the otg cable it does not work.
If your hdd has its own power supply then it works directly.
The phone battery is not enough to power the hdd.

Mhl not work with cm9 just yet . Or maybe I'm doing it wrong . But I tested with other roms

SD Storage solution

While not as good as having an SD slot - this could be of some help. I'm sure you wouldn't leave it hanging all the time and most likely have to remove it to charge if your not using wireless charging.

I opted for the 64 GB version ... just to save from extra equipment. But there is a wireless flash drive option too.

This has been around for a while. I bought one of these more than a year ago for my Note 3.
The model is a older version but it works well.
23 $$ ?? I got 1 for 7.99 at best buy with an otg cable

I promise I'm not griefing but rather curious.... I am extremely satisfied with the 100 gigs of storage you get with OneDrive when you buy the Note 5. Any of my large files I have put in the cloud or if they are videos I either upload them to social media or put them on my PC for editing and don't forsee an issue with the 32 gigs of onboard storage. I guess I'm just wondering what sort of data an SD device like this accounts for due to a lack of expandable memory.

I get what you're saying but I would just back it up to my external hard drive on my PC. I do know what you mean though, but if that's the only reason...

This or that.
The Voyager is 64gb. The plugable has a 128gb microSD in it and it works.

midmadn, device must have OTG support to be read on note phones. I just got an otg adaptor from China that I'll be testing.
