I have no evidence that my Jas Jar has a USB 2 port (it does not appear connected to and enhanced controller in device manager). Does anyone else?
Also, whatever happened to USB host support or the alledged ability to present the SD card as a USB mass storage device to a conencted USB host?)
The CPU supports only 1.1

Just curious what all can be done with the mini USB connector on the Wizard other than Active Sync and charging.
Could the device be used to charge a bluetooth headset that also takes mini USB?
Possible to add a pocket drive for more storage?
I am pretty sure with the level of talented people here that someone has found ways to maximize functionality through this port.
it's only for charging and file trasfer
the device doesn't support usb host so you can't use a drive, or keyboard, etc with the usb
With WM5Storage or CardExportII the miniSD card can be used as USB FLASHDRIVE
Does anyone know if the microSD and/or USB Flash drives show up as USB drives on PC? Do the standard Android development tools connect-up through the USB and 'just work' like they do for my phone? I assume that the miniUSB plug is the one that connects to your PC since the other are listed as 'Host' on the Notion Ink Tech specs page.
you would connect to computer with the miniusb, the microsd would mount to computer just as it would with a phone. that would be nice if a usb flash drive did to but i'm not sure about that.
Hi Folks
I've been playing around with a 101 Gen9 and in particular the Full Size USB Slot on the back.
On the Archos WebSite in the FAQ they state:
What can I plug in the USB port on the back of the tablet?
The USB host port on the back of your G9 tablet is reserved for only the ARCHOS G9 3G Stick. You will not be able to plug any other USB devices in this port.

Click to collapse
I have been doing some of my own testing on this port and found that not to be the case
Every device I plugged into it has worked in one way or another (very much another in some cases)
1. The tablet has been rooted using letma's method.
2. You need to turn on the "3G Stick" in the Wireless Settings
3. The tablet Was Plugged In
On point 3. I have no idea how the battery was doing. especially with some of the more power hungry usb devices.
Here's a list of what I've tested
Not Working:
Keyboard (USB 1.1)
Working:
Kingston Data Traveller II+ (USB 2.0) - Picked up as external storage
HTC Hero Mass Storage
HTC Debug Bridge (Required Root for adb)
HTC Sensation Mass Storage
HTC Sensation Debug Bridge (Required Root for adb)
4 Port HUB (USB 2.0)
A Couple of observations.
After turning the 3G Stick on I restarted the device
I had to plug the USB devices while the tablet was starting for it to be picked up.
The Keyboard worked when plugged into the 4 Port USB Hub. I think the keyboard will function on its own with the right kernel modules
No Device showed up as The "External Storage" in the "Files" program when plugged into the Hub, even though I mounted the device (/dev/block/sd*) from terminal emulator to the /mnt/ext_storage folder.I suspect it is looking for a specific USB device number as the external storage device.
I suppose it would be good if some other people to test what USB devices they have to hand to see what works, maybe we could build a list of functioning devices. I'm going to investigate getting the Keyboard going on it's own, which is what sparked this off and also test some external hard drives with various file systems.
I hope someone finds this helpful

For me the usb stick and hard drive is working on the stock archos firmware without reboot!
Hi everyone,
I was developing a tablet application for controlling a circuit but now i stuck here somewhere.. there are a few options that i think about what to do after this stage. I need 2 usb ports , one for a usb serial converter (namely pl-2303) and other one is a standart flash drive. I tried to use a hub connected to an OTG cable with no luck. When i plug only one of my devices to OTG port they all work but when i plug 2 of them to hub system freeze or doesn't mount my flash drive. I tried 3 different hubs they are not working. Sometimes i made this setup running with an sd card reader instead of flash and a digitus converter instead of pl-2303. Then i though this can be an issue with the USB 1.1 - 2.0 specifications because pl-2303 is a USB 1.1 device and the rest is 2.0.
After i realize the realtek wifi module in the tablet is also mounted to a USB port i removed the module to check if i can connect one of my devices to that port. But as usual the wifi driver of the system is controlling this port , so when i try to power up the port, system checks if it can find the realtek module and when it cant detect realtek wireless module just shuts down the port back. While this happens i can see my device is connected to system for a few seconds before the driver shut it down.
So this is the all story. I just need this 2 device to work together. I am waiting for your opinions
The tablet is a ATM 7021 processor based cheap tablet.
Thanks in advance.
I have a LG G6 H873 and I'm trying to use an OTG adapter to read an SD card (Kodlix Type-C Reader) and I'm not getting any prompts for a USB device being detected (and the LED doesn't light up on the adapter).
I've tried the same adapter on my wife's LG G5 and it works fine (both os are at the same revision). I've also tried the "OTG Troubleshooter" app which seems to detect that a OTG device is plugged in. Plugging a USB cable from my PC to this device works fine and I can browse the files on my phone from the PC.
Any ideas?
Same here. OTG worked fine. Then one day stopped working.
My phone recognizes all my files in file folder but stock gallery and music app showes no pics or songs.When i flashed oreo update my sd card worked fine.on boot up it would show media scanning and then show a little sd card icon in the notifications but after 2 days my phone does not scan anymore.Is this related to your problem?
I have a G6 h870ds. After loads of mucking about I have discovered that my OTG only works with full USB3 OTG adapters and USB3 memory sticks.
I cant use USB2 wired OTG adapters or USB2 memory sticks. Initial connection of the USB2 OTG adapter is recognized but no connected devices are detected. I have a USB2 memory stick with an LED on it. When it is first connected to the OTG cable it flashes in a way that leads me to think it is trying to reply to the USB bus interrogation but something (probably software) fails. The phone connects to my usb2 PC port just fine so I don't think the hardware is at fault. I've reset the phone but alas that didn't help!
No issues whatsoever if I plug in the OTG adapter first, then the drive. No matter if USB 1, 2 or 3 memory stick.
