Hi All, I was about to buy a Raspberry Pi type device so that i can install some juke box software, stick it behind my touchscreen monitor and mount it on a wall. Anyway i got to thinking about using a smartphone. I have read about installing XP etc onto a HTC 3d and i guess thats an option but id like to get your opinions
The goal is to have the touchscreen (19", which i already have, DVI and USB for touch) mounted on the wall with the 'PC' stuck on the back so no cables etc are required. I was planning to use a powerline adaptor to get ethernet to the thing. All easily possible with an actual PC, but what about using a smartphone?

Is there a standard for putting audio out of the mini usb?
Is it something written in stone or do each manufacturer just do there own thing?
I have not tried to find out how mine is wired yet as i dont have a connector with enough pins to make a breakout board and see whats going on, but my viewpad7 has such a connector with extra pins, i think it was the htc wildfire which did, and my canon sx30 camera has one too...
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Is the thrive the only choice available to get a android based tablet that can usb host out of the box? I am interested in the thrive...because of the host capability and because you can replace the battery. Ergo... you dont have to end of life it and turn it into a high class alarm clock when the battery wont hold a charge anymore. I also like the full sized hdmi. I mainly want it to take on road trips. I have my 400Gb of movies on a hard drive and want to be able to access them and watch them on tv in a hotel room.
My flyer makes a great gps but I have to bring a computer to change the movies in it
IMHO, Thrive has best USB support, but Asus Transformer Keyboard dock, Archos 101 G9, and Acer a500 also have pretty functional USB ports.
My a500 has some pretty good support. But the tablet itself is kinda too heavy.

hello,
I seek a kind of electric charger shema typical of android.
In fact I have broken the tip of my x10 mini pro. Where it is loaded with a USB cable.
Except that I bricked and I need to connected to the computer so I'll try to cobble together a new embouten waiting.
SE refuses to repair made me!
I dissected a usb cable to charge an android and he only had two son, one positive and one negative charge therefore I think. And I took off my x10, 5 outings ago, so how to connect them? you see what I mean?
I just need a shema that I say or connects the five outings on the usb cable
thank you

I purchased the following adapter so that I can display my Galaxy S3 on my in-dash head unit of my car. (It converts from digital to analog)

I would like to also use this air mouse/keyboard to control my phone at the same time since my phone will be in the glove box.

Will the two of them work together at the same time? Do they take advantage of the full 11 pins? Thanks!
Were yiu able to use air mouse on your s3?
Take a look at the accessories page. What you are describing is mhl (mobile high definition link) with USB otg (on the go). This was the main reason for the 11 pin micro USB connector on the phone. This allows charging, video output and USB hosting all at once.
There's a problem. This is not yet supported on gs 3 outside Germany (they got an update we didn't. Note 2 has a smart dock that uses this.
A couple kernals claim support for this. Like I said, check the accessories forum

I need to connect my pen drive to Motorola Atrix 2. I have tried getting the OTG cable , but it does not detect it, I assume that the 5 Volt requirement is not met as the USB never lights up as it always should.
I would like to know whether it is possible to achieve the same with a Micro USB hub ( http://i00.i.aliimg.com/photo/v0/613308120/3_port_usb_hub_for_micro_USB.jpg )
The connection is like USB male port connected to the charger/laptop and micro usb to the phone while Pen Drives to the female port.
Has anyone done this before? If it is not possible is there any other way?
