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...
Has anyone successfully connected their xoom to an android phone yet? I was trying to mount it as a drive to read the SD card. I know I can pop the card out of the phone and mount it in the xoom, but I was looking to connnect directly with the cable. I know Bluetooth is an option as well but would rather a direct cable connection.
Bump for help.
Here's a cross post from the Mesmerize thread where I'm not having any luck:
I have a 2.2.1 (rooted) Mesmerize and I can't get it to recognize anything plugged into the Samsung Micro USB to USB Adapter I just bought.
The phone is set to "Mass Storage" for USB and I've tried both USB Debugging on and off.
I can't get it to recognize any of 5 thumb drives that I've tried connecting to it. So either it's a bad cable, or something else in the phone is preventing the connection. Help, please!
EDIT: I'm possibly naive in assuming that this (reading a USB thumb drive from the phone) will work at all, but since they (Samsung) sell the cable and tout it as being capable of it, I must just be missing something such as a setting or the necessary version of Android or a wonderful hack from this group.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
What you are asking for is a USB host function on your phone. As far as I know there is none for the Mesmerize or android. The cable is to connect your device with a pc or other that does have usb host drivers.
there are probably other, better ways of getting extended storage. what exactly are your trying to accomplish?
I just figured it would be cool to read off a thumb drive (or usb card reader set up as a thumb drive with an sd card or micro sd card attached) from my phone. For instance, if I'm out somewhere and I take a picture with my camera and I immediately want to get that picture from the camera to the phone (without using a pc as a bridge)... I could just remove the sd card from the camera, plug it into my card reader, plug my card reader into the micro usb to usb adapter and then plug that into the phone. Whereupon the phone would recognize a thumb drive is attached and let me navigate it the way I navigate the internal micro sd card.
yeah I don't think usb hosting was available until 3.1
I don't even know how easy it is with newer devices.
What about with a custom mod/ROM?
mad towner,
i would like to know how did u root ur phone. i have a tab with same os as yours. but i find it very difficult to root.
thanks in advance.
If device's WiFi isn't working then can we use a USB WiFi catcher router via USB OTG cable? Does it work?
If yes then how?
Please help
Infact I attached an external USB WiFi adapter via USB OTG cable to my device Sony Xperia Z5 which internal WiFi isn't working.
But It didn't work perhaps external USB WiFi adapter needs driver to install in my android device and I was unable to find even by Google search...
I don't understand what is this ****ty thing called driver and in this case apple devices are best they don't need any kind of drivers for any device, you plug any device in an apple device and you'll not have to install drivers for it just plug and play and enjoy.
Now this windows and Android are annoying in this case.....
Hi. I have a rk-a715 unit with Android 8.1Go Yt9218_00002_V004. Recently I bought USB cables 6pin and 4pin. As soon as I connect them, the main USB port it is not recognized anymore, it shows only the internal memory. How can I solve that? Thank you.
