USB Stick as external PDA storage

I was searching through forum but didn't find what i was looking for.
Is it possible to connect USB Stick (powered over pda) / ext. disk (self powered) to mini usb port on PDA and use it as an external storage?
I think i saw some software in PDAViets rom for 4700.

depend on the device
only 2 htc pda's support usbHost which is required

i use an ameo / u1000 and it has no problems hosting a usb stick. what happens is i stick in the 4 in 1 plug to the ameo. the usb is then plugged in to the jack. the ameo reads the usb stick as "hard disk"
cheers

Thanks for reply.
I was wondering about Ipaq 214...
Anybody knows how?
Merci

As always, Google is your friend.
This is what it spat out: http://ashorterlink.com/2770
And here is a video by some bored person, demonstrating that it works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wm8q78CMqw8

Thanks for that but i was more looking for software driver/program which allows you to use usb disk.
214 has already small usb port and i'd like to connect it directly in it - don't know why use another plugin between.
i hope you know what i wanted to say.
thanks again for efforts!

Ones again a simple Google search revealed an Archos USB-host cable for the mini usb port.
Remember that no one said that the mini USB port on the iPaq is usb-host capable, infact a forum mod here claims that the mini-usb port is NOT host capable and no there is no addon driver that I am aware of.
In fact I am fairly sure that it is a hardware feature, otherwise someone would have written such a software for my Tytn/Hermes eons ago.
Hope this helps.

Can't connect via usb to pc.

I'm just flashed to 1.7. Was on 1.6 and had this problem. I can't connect to any pc's over usb. I just bought a new cord because the original was sucked into a vacuum.
Anyways when I plug in the TF to a pc I get a bubble pop up that says "the connected usb device as malfunctioned"
Or on my wifes pc it tried to install the driver but it always fail. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the asus pc suite but it hasn't helped anything.
I'm getting worried its a hardware issue any help would be awesome!
Heres a shot of the error I'm getting.

Any ideas out there?

Yeah i'm now getting the same problem. I'm using prime 1.9.1 and also i have re installed the suite/drivers. I would really like it if someone could give this question an answer. Also i have Windows x64

did you enable usb debugging on the tf?

Yah it sucks I never got mine working. Now the battery is draining over night if I leave it unplugged, thats with wifi off. But I can't even consider rma over the usb because it is rooted.

I'm also facing the same problem. Detection on my pc is like a hit & miss affair. Wonder if this got to do with a faulty usb/data cable?

I replaced mine with an asus cable. Not some knock off, and it didn't help anything.

I returned one not long after purchasing because of a similar issue. Tried on many PC's and different cables, made no difference. I think it is a hardware fault, reasonably common too. Can you not flash back to stock to RMA?

The problem is you need to plug it into a pc to reflash it. I had a thread going on this before, I think someone recomended a method for that had came out where you could flash without a pc. I'm a little nervous honestly to mess with it because it something goes wrong without the usb port working its done.

TV dock + controller dock?

Hi there!
Has anyone bought a dock that allows them to stream from the dock to the TV(wired), and used a gamepad (bluetooth connected) to android?
Scenario: go to a hotel, plug phone into dock, connect dock to wall for power, and TV to stream. Connect bluetooth gamepad to galaxy s 5. Play game on TV.
Sorry if I'm not explaining this clearly, I can try a different way.
Thanks!
Different solution: Just use HDMI adapter instead of dock. Specifically one with this code: EE-HN910FWESTA. I can only find it on the Samsung website, and it hasn't had any reviews yet. (Not sure if I should buy)

I bought a dock for the s4 with hdmi and 3 usb ports, as soon as I got the s5 I tried the dock with this device but it doesn't work.
I think the problem is that s5 doesn't have a dock mode

New information is known for this problem?

I have something like

i bought it for my s4 and it also works with my g900f the only problem is that the charging current is low, around 800mA, and at s5 because the charging port cover it cannot be pushed well and it doesn't stay only forced.

Does that dock has usb-otg? The problem seems to appear when trying to use mhl-hdmi and usb otg at the same time.

Device-Thread Verizon Wear24

Hi everyone,
I recently got my watch
So far I can tell you that I got the first (i think) OTA dump for Android Wear 2.0
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fFN4woS7a6jEioeYaG76USHRzDQFk6HF/view
The Sim can be replaced, not easy as you can think but it can!

If someone has a broken one, I could do replacement video for sure. I didn't find any USB connection that could be used in the recoverymode...

There is a group working on a USB connector with the Band pins over here:

Here's an idea,
So we know which pins are required to interact via USB and can now install TWRP on it. The problem with this is that in order to use USB, we have to take apart the watch and fancy a connector out of wires and such. From what I read, contained in the band is a LTE antenna connected over 4 pins (and I believe a Wifi antenna in the other), since we dont need LTE (at least where I'm at in Canada), perhaps routing the 4 pins (and de-soldering them from the motherboard somehow) to the USB pins on the motherboard could make a much cleaner way to connect usb. this would require quite a bit of fine soldering, but if you're up for the task im sure the old LTE band can be hacked apart to fancy a USB plug out of making USB access alot easier. Could help with development forsure. I havent received my watch yet but I think this would make a decent mod.

got this verizon wear24 watch die on me - touchscreen sensor isnt registering any touches. any suggestions to revive it?

Do you think a usb to vga connection would work?

Let me explain, I have a cathode ray television, a cube one, and I would like to adapt it as a second monitor. So I'm thinking of buying an adapter to convert its signal, the problem? my pc doesn't have another extra connector for a new monitor. After searching, I discover that there are cables that adapt usb to vga, and I more or less trace what you can see in the image. My doubts are, would this set work? regarding the USB to VGA adapter, I have not seen many tests on the internet of this working outside laptops, but it has a usb 3.0 connection, could it work in my computer?
I don't really care about the imput lag, I just want to know if it would work or because of the power load or something like that it wouldn't work.

Nice artwork. It should work.
It depends on your system recongnizing the "USB to VGA", which is an external video card.
You could do it with a internal video card if you have the slots.

I do not understand. The usb to vga adapter I saw was a cable, and to use it you had to install their respective drivers. My pc supports video cards, but because of my budget I can't get one yet. If I had one, I would just look for an hdmi to rca adapter.
Thanks for your answer, by the way.

Well, that little thingy with a plug has a frame buffer and all the things that a video card must have.
It's just that instead of connecting over PCI it connects over USB.

Oh, I get it. Thanks for your help

I'll point out the obvious that you can pick up a used LCD monitor for $10 at any charity shop.
The image will be better and you won't need the VGA to RCA adapter.
