pda+usb-stick?

hey, i have an acern310 wich means i have no wifi built in. so i want to buy a wifi sd card and a cable to connect my usb-stick to my pda. i'd like to be able downloading bigger files with my pda and this seems to be the only way.
has anyone experiences with that or maybe informations?
thanx

it's unclear what you want
if your device got sdio you can get an sdcard with wifi
you can't connect an usb wifi device to it unless it got usb host
support which is rare
or are you trying to share your wifi with a laptop or something ?
would be wise to elaborate on terms like
acern310
which you can't take for granted everybody know what is

i want the usb stick using as storage device and as i meant an sd wifi card (sdio) for having wireless lan connection. because if i use an sdio card i won't be able to use an sd card as storage device where i can download to...

[Q] App to connect phone to pc over wifi?

I used to have an application that I could turn on, and when connect to wi-fi it would act as if I had it connected via USB, eg I could access f: removable disk to put/remove files on/off my sd card without having to fumble around with plugging my usb cable in, cause only the back ports work and it's such a pain having to go in and out of my desk and such. I used to have it but cannot for the life of me remember the name.
help pls! <3

try MyPhoneExplorer, in my opinion a very useful app and its free on the market.
u also need to install the software on your pc, install from fjsoft.at/en/

[Q] Using usb to connect with another android device?

I really would like to be able to plug my droid X into my G tablet and use it as an external hard drive. This would save me loads of time swapping sdcards.
Though I don't think this is possible because most phones need drivers to be mounted as external storage.
When I do plug the DX in via microusb to usb (haven't tried miniusb yet) the DX recognizes that it is plugged in and starts charging. The DX also says that it is connected to an external device and is mounted as external storage, however on the G tablet I can not see any data when I browse to the correct location.
Has anyone else tried this and got it to work?

When I plug my N1 to the tablet, I immediately get the USB notification on my N1. I turn on storage on the N1 and my tablet can browse the sdcard on my N1.
If you use ClockworkMod or AmonRA on your Droid, you can go into recovery mode and set the mount to USB and that should work as well.
EDIT: If you are rooted on both devices, you can use dropbear or an ssh client (like QuickSSHD) on your Droid and then ssh to it from the tablet using File Explorer or AndFTP (need to be on the same wifi for this solution to work).

I've tried this with my Droid 1 and get the same thing. The droid shows its connected, and allows me to mount usb, but when using any file explorer and browse the the usb device, it only shows an empty folder.
I've succesfully used wifi file explorer when they're on the same wifi network.

Depending on speed wifi file explorer might work perfectly!

Copy from one USB-device to another with Asus Infinity

Hello,
New to Android and new to this forum. I have my TF700T two weeks now and I'm glad I bought it. My target is to copy the content of my Compact Flash cards (16GB each - from my DSLR) to a portable hard drive. Therefore I tried to connect both a card reader and a portable hard drive via an auto-powered USB-hub to the only usb-connection of my tablet. I even tried with another hub and even with a third hub. The only result was that my tablet only found the first device that was connected (regardless wich one: the CF-card or the HD) with the hub and not both at the same time, so copying from the CF-card to the drive isn't possible in one step. Sure I can copy the CF-card to the internal memory of the tablet and in a second pass move it to the HD, but that is very time-consuming.
Anyone who knows how to connect more then one usb-device at the same time via a powered USB-hub and do a file transfer between them? Your help is greatly appriciated.

You can use wi fi transfer to do it with a file manager, like file expert.

@tbtaf: When on vacation or on a photo trip I only have that portable hd, my tablet and a powered usb hub. I think a Wifi appraoch is not applicable then. Or am I missing something?

Sounds like you need to setup a second mount point for the additional device - don't know if that can actually be done or not, but I do know that some people who could not even connect the first device were able to manually specify the device by mounting it in a terminal window.
I'm not sure 100% on the code, but let me try to find out.

Or you could copy the 16 Gb CF card onto the pad's internal memory (or external MicroSD card), disconnect it, connect the HD and then copy it out again.

He already mentioned, he doesn't want to do this, he wants to copy straight.
For now, it's not possible since the powered hub or non power hub unable to recognize 2 devices at the same time.

CF, now there's nostalgia if anything. I thought those became outdated over 3 years ago... Fact is the CF is hardly compatible with mobile devices these days.
No, you can't copy from an external cardreader directly onto an external HDD through your tablet. It can only read 1 storage device in the USB port. Multiple devices works, but multiple storages doesn't. Some people have had some success with USB Flashdrives/Pendrives instead of HDD's though. You could try that.
You can copy from an SD to HDD easily though, so you could consider using an SD with a CF adapter if your camera has no SD slot. (SD's have the added advantage that the pins can't bent.)

External wifi adapter g7 ocean

Is it possible to use an external wifi adapter with the G7 Power Ocean. I wanted to give nethunter for a run but obviously without a wifi adapter (or I guess if its possible to set promisc with packet injection) you cant use it to its full potential. If it is possible to set the internal network card... How might I go about doing that? If not how can I get my phone to read an external Wifi adapter and or does it have to be a specific model? The one I currently use on my laptop works fine in linux so should it also work on the phone? Pending on the phones capabilities...
