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.

XDA II Cradle Problem.

Hello,
I just received my cradle today and found it was not usb but something else that looks like a vga connector but only has 2 rows of pin holes, does anyone know what this is called?
I put my XDA II into boot loader mode and connected the phone and wire and the power and downloaded and installed active sync 4.5 but i cant connect and the screen does not change to usb or anything just says serial at top and v1.03 at the bottom, is there some drivers or software i need to get?
And BTW active sync works fine while device is on.
Thanks

In case it helps here is the item i purchased:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/02-XDAII-SERI...|240:1318|301:1|293:1|294:50#ebayphotohosting

this connects to COM port of your computer most new PCs have only 1 COM port .. In the past COM ports was common like usb today you don't need any driver to get it work... if it's work fine with active sync - where is the problem ?

It is called a Serial connector. Hence the reason your phone is saying Serial (though it will say serial regardless unless it is plugged into USB). In terms of upgrading, make sure ActiveSync is OFF! You don't want your device to connect to ActiveSync before or during the upgrade. I would go into ActiveSync connection settings and turn off auto-connect, at least until the update is complete.
And as stated above, if it is connecting to ActiveSync via the Serial anyway, than all is well!

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.

[Q] TS PCB firmware question

So, a friend of mine brought me 2 TF300T's, both with cracked digitizers, and 2 new digitizers he bought off of ebay. Both tabs are
5158n's, both new digis are G01's. Research on this site lead me to the firmware update of the TS PCB Ver. 4820. I've done all my android phones so I'm good so far. My problem is the tabs have no touch and I have no dock to enable debug mode. Someone mentioned a usb adapter connected to a mouse but never gave a description of it.
So can anyone give me a bypass or the part number of the necessary USB adapter? I have the data cable. Would a double female USB attached to the data cable then plugged into a mouse work? Thanks

Cool. Is it the same as this? [URL="http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-External-Adapter-Transformer-Series-Tablets/dp/B005PAINXQ/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1397700978&sr=8-8&keywords=tf300t+adapter[/URL]
Only reason I ask is that this one is Prime & I can overnight it.

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?
