So I'm still waiting for the 3.1 update sadly. And I'm curious if anyone attempted to hook up their xoom to any dslr or camera of any sort. This would certainly bring my dslr to a new level.
Yes I have. I've not a dslr but a digital camera capable of using the host function. What do you need to know?
Just basically how it handles the transfer. Do I need a file manager program like astro file manager? Can I specify the directory from and where the images go.

i pretty much got told i was an idiot in this post, and had my thread hijacked. screw those retards, im doing way more with my XOOM then they will dream of.

i hooked mine up, works great. you dont need astro. it asks to import in gallery. If you want to move your photos around to edit on photoshop mobile, youll need it since galley puts the imports into a "imported" folder in the /sdcard root. photoshop mobile does not look there, it goes to DCIM.
apologies i missed this post but good answer from above there.
and photshop mobile.. is it any good? (partial thread hijack.. )
Also, be aware, it doesn't prompt for overwrites. I was testing it at work doing product photography. I imported the first batch of photos, picked the keepers and started the next batch, another person had disabled the sequential numbering on the camera so deleting the first batch from the SD card reset the counter. Upon importing the second batch, I lost all of my first batch.
Beyond that, it works quite well.
My rooted xoom on 3.1 does not even 'see' my canon 60D (and vice versa) when connected with my OTG cable
I know my OTG cable is fine because it works with all my flash drives, external HDDs, and card reader
Normally when I plug in the 60D to the computer, the camera turns itself into USB mode (cannot shoot photos), but when plugged to my xoom, it appears as if nothing is plugged in (still shoots photos properly)
Works great with pro SLR's!!!
Love it! I plugged my Nikon D3S, D3X and D700 pro SLR cameras into it and my pictures showed up in the gallery!!! This is a HUGE benefit since now I can leave my tablet PC at home and use the Xoom to quick email some proofs.
Now if only the Micro SD slot would work without rooting!
how about connecting usb hd webcam? (if powered from external source...)
is it possible to record videos from such camera?
Using Tiamat and Sony DSLR's hook up no problem as long as you use the special cable. I read that 3.1 will allow usb host too but I do not know how much more or less will be supported with stock vs the Tiamat kernel. Will you still need the special usb cable with 3.1 so that usbhost will work, or will any usb cable work? I know I tried with the Tiamat one and it did not work, which is why I ordered the special cable.
I've a Canon T2i and I can only import pictures as long they are jpgs. Does anybody imported RAW pictures (.CR2) into the xoom? I can't find the directory where my camera is mounted so I can move my pictures manually, it would be awesome if I can see my raw images but at least I want to use my xoom as a storage.
Thanks

Your camera most likely is in a USB Host mode and not PTP mode. I had the same problem with my camera. Its a simple fix just go to your camera USB options and set it to PTP. Also my camera needed power, it didn't when plugged into my MAC.
I have a video that shows this basically works. This highlights all the 3.1 features so I apologize for it not having just a video on that. But to see the OTG Camera Picture Import go to 6:20 in the video.

Hey, I also have a Canon but a 7D, can you try something for me?, hook up the camera, on the gallery go as if you were to import the pics and deselect all, then double click one to view the pic in full screen, now click once on the screen to pull up the scroll at the bottom that shows all the pics, scroll all the way to the last pic (I have about 300 on it) and see if your camera shows an error message 70 Shooting is not possible, bla bla... let me know how it goes.
Thanks
What kind of cable or adapter do I need to do this. Everything I have is used for plugging into my PC and obviously the end of the USB is way to big for this.
Ideas for best video conferencing app?
I'm still waiting for my OTG cable.

Having a similar issues with a rooted xoom running 3.1 and tiamat 1.4.2. as soon as i plug my t2i in it freezes the camera till it is unplugged. while plugged in nothing shows up in gallery to import. tried plugging in a samsung point and shoot also and no go. Trying to look into it further.
update:got bored and went back to 3.0.1 & relocked and got the ota update and my t2i works fine. now to reflash tiamat and see if it still works or if it is indeed the source of the problem.

do you happen to know how to use adb logcat? looking to see what your xoom is doing to access your t2i that mine isn't.edit: never mind i got it. and for your question: raw pictures are stored in a slightly different format for each camera and you would need a program that was compatible with the t2i's format in order to view them. The gallery simply doesn't have that functionality so you won't be able to import them. also, the t2i isn't mounted as a drive when plugged in so you won't be able to access the files directly.
thanks for the reminder, but unfortunately, i've checked many places, but the Canon 60D has no option to turn on PTP... guess i shall need to wait for a firmware update or something
Hello everyone!
I hope there isn't a topic already for this, but I searched and didn't find anything, mostly also because it's kind of difficult to describe my problem.
To begin with. I have one of those chinese car stereos that run WinCE 6 in my car. It's not the first one, I actually went through quite few of them to finally find one that suits me. I thought I did, and mostly it's true, but there is still one feature that bugs me a bit.
My stereo has two USB ports. One, mini-USB on front - for music/videos/pics, second, full size USB on the back - for 3G/WiFi adaptor. This is as described by the manufacturer/seller.
Now, obviously, many of us would think, that since it's "universal serial bus", it shouldn't matter what I put in which port. So the rear port should accept music on USB flash drive and front port should work with 3G modem. Right? Right? Wrooong!!!
For whatever reason, my stereo only accepts music in the front port, with annoying little cable that is to convert the mini-USB to full size, just bumping up and down as I drive. Also, since I have a built-in USB port, which I would like to use for this and plug it's connection to rear port on the stereo, bugs me a lot.
But no, the rear port only works with the 3G modem and seems to completely ignore any flash drive connected to it.
What's funny though is, that the front port actually works with the 3G modem too! So the front is a "2in1", but the rear is only designated for 3G/WiFi.
Since I don't want to let this just go and get used to it (+ my OCD is fighting heavilly with me on this, lol ), I started to look around to figure out what might cause this. I loaded Total Commander on the unit and plugged two flash drives to the stereo. Both with music files, both formatted the same. In totalcmd it showed them as USB (front) and USB1 (rear) (or something similar, the key part is the "1"). It always added the "1" to the rear one, even though it was connected alone, without the front one.
Now, this is where I believe the problem is. I think/hope/wish that the music application on the stereo only works when pointed to the "USB" (front) device. Since there is probably no way to decrypt and re-program the music app, I was thinking about renaming the USB connections, or, basically switching them for each other.
So to get (finally) to the bottom of my question, is there a way to switch the description/name/purpose of the USB ports in WinCE 6.0 platform, preferably of course in a way that it would stay like that even after restart?
Many many thanks for any help or pointing me to the right direction! Also please let me know if there is some detail that might help identifying the problem.
Today I installed an app called USB Device Info from the play store. What it shows is that it cannot connect because of SeLinux.. CLUE?? So I went ahead and looked on how to connect via USB with Linux. I downloaded Terminus from Play Store and was able to read the files. Previously, I read it's a 'read only' connection. I'm researching how to change the 'read only' to 'read and write', and also extract and find these files. I'm currently looking for my "extracted files".
I have tried 3 different cameras. Anyone out there using a USB camera for DVR? I can see the cameras showing up as /dev/video1 and /dev/video2. I read somewhere that the driver got trashed sometime in the 6.0 release.
Hello,
I have been searching for a long time but still can't find any solution of my problem.
The situation is:
I have raspberry pi3 and i have installed android on it.
Everything works fine, but i need to use camera with raspberry. I know that there is a special camera module available and maybe it works fine but i need to use an external USB camera.
I plugged USB camera and started default camera application, but it says that it's impossible to connect to camera.
But when i've installed USB camera app it works fine with external camera.
I use skype and when i'm trying to make videocall - video is not available.
That is why question appeared.
How is it possible to enforce android to use external USB camera as default?
Sorry for bad english.
Thanks in advance,
