Is there any one who used XDA 2 as USB drive? Please tell me how to do it. Cheers.
I would like to know this too! it must be simply a matter of having the right software on the XDA?

Just like another post I just read, I too need a developer to work with me on an app idea. The app in mind will require interpreting data being fed in via the phone's micro usb port. Someone with experience with the hardware side of things would be a plus to even see if my idea is feasible. If you are interested, please just message me.
Thanks,
Kosta
Anyone?

I want to drag drop files, better yet, use SyncToy to keep the files on my PC current with files on the xoom. Since the xoom comes up as a "Portable Device" when plugged in via USB rather than a "Removable Disk", I am unable to use SyncToy. When I try and drag-drop files, it tells me the file may not work and asks me if I want to continue. I can select yes, but some files will not drag over.
Is there a way to make the xoom a "usb disk" like my droid x when using the USB between the it and my PC? My xoom is rooted, and is there any other options?
Thanks in advance!
Anybody?
This is annoying and a deal breaker for me on the Xoom, like the tablet but thinking about returning and going back to using Gtablet...atleast it could read my USB thumb.
No, honeycomb uses a different protocol so it doesn't need to unmount the sdcard partition everytime you transfer files. For music and video you can use windows media player or any number of programs to sync, for regular files you need to drag and drop I'm afraid.

Thanks for the reply!
That’s what I was afraid of. It stinks...I really like the tablet, but it’s not going to do what I need it to do.
I read that it would read a USB thumb drive if rooted (with the an extension cable) is this correct? If it would do that...I would be in good shape.

Yes, there is an older thread in the developers section about that.

Wifi Explorer is a good way to access and transfer files to and fro.

I went and looked in the developers section and believe I found the thread, seem involved and may be out of my league to attempt.

Thanks...I will check out Wifi Explorer and see if it will get the job done.
Can I ask, will this be the same for all honeycomb devices or just Xoom.....not being able to Sync is a HUGE deal breaker for me.
Hi guys
Need advise on a app that can control my Android phone(galaxy Note) on my desktop pc via a USB cable. After searching I can only find Web based apps
Thanx

RealVNC.
Works, No Issues. Dont know whether it will work over a USB Cable.
I'm curious as to what purpose you want to be able to do this? What are you wanting to do?
And why not just connect a keyboard and mouse via USB OTG or bluetooth? Saves having to install another app on your phone.

Mphonexplorer works pretty well. Only gripe a have with it. Its the lag, Its a bit slow. But until something better comes along it will do.

I was reading the manual, it talks about using the USB port for keyboard, mouse, etc, but not about USB sticks or external HDD. Can the N7 natively detect the USB stick and allow me to access its content? Or do I need a kernel with USB OTG + Terminal Emu command + an adapter?

You should learn how to search. There are few guides on USB OTG.

I have read them. What I don't understand is if this is native or a kernel hack.

Buy an OTG cable, and plug it in. Add peripheral of your choice. There have been hundreds of reports stating that the Nexus 7 does OTG natively. thats what he meant by "Search".

Put OTG in the Forum Search for Nexus Q&A topics and you get 109 threads. Most of them talking about obtaining an OTG cable and using StickMount which itself needs your device to be rooted.
Yes you will need to root and install stickmount before you can use a flash stick or card reader with the nexus.It will work fine with a mouse or keyboard stock but must be rooted for adding more storage.
Can N7 support for USB on the go feature?
I have 8gb version....It seems like not enough for my photo collection....
Any Help?

Simply ask Can I connect pendrive for my N7?
I don't know anything about your device, but generally there are three scenarios:
The USB-OTG support...
...is included into the kernel. You are set to go.
...is compiled as a kernel module (.ko) and can manually be loaded into the system. Normally, you will find kernel modules in /system/lib/modules/[sub directory]/
...is obviously missing. If this is the case, you can compile your own kernel module. This is off topic, but I might take some time to write a beginner's tutorial - if there is a common interest?

There are a few threads about it. You will also need a OTG compatible adapter
