hi guys
i am new to this so apprecaite your help.have been using my xda exec for about a firthinte brilliantly.however since yesterday ,when i plug the usb cable to pda nothing is happening,fone is not being recognized by pc.i tried different cables and diferent pc's to no avail.the pda does not even charge via usb cable.
however it charges normally via wall charger.
do you think I bust the connector,could it be fixed?
hi heres what you can do to see it your usb still works
1. have a storage card sd/mmc if you dont have one borrow one
2. download softtick 2 from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YPH5DW4I or wm5storage you choose
3. connect your pda with softick installed
4.press the usb option and the sd card should display as a normal flash drive
5.if the computer recognizes it and picks it up as a flash drive then you definatly know it works properly
6. if it doesn't then you can hard reset your pda
7:if that still dont work then consult a techniian or a guru to help you open it
hope this helps!
hi...
as the title...
who all are succeded in connecting usb external hdd to iconia ?
cause i tried with two, and booth are not recognized
one is pendrive sense 320gb, second is wd 250gb
all you who can connect, whats your hdd??
fyi, i can connect card reader and usb thumb drive
UPDATE
OKEY..
so i tried connecting my hdd through a powered usb hub, and still no luck,
i tried connect it with a Y cable, one to iconia and onte to powered hub, also no luck ...
is there any other way to try ? tried every thing from usb mount all, ntfs mount, charging while plugging , usb powered, new HDD, fat32 formatted , ntfs HDD and all in vain...
if not then, i am sure my device is defective of something....
How were they formatted? At those sizes, I'm going to guess they were formatted to NTFS which Android cannot read natively. There is, however, a thread in the Development section which includes a driver to enable NTFS support on the A500.

the first one have fat32 and nts partition, but the second one have 250gb full of fat32
i have installed ntfs mount and usb mount all, they just are not detected at all..
I just got my tab today, rooted and installed ntfs mount. No problems getting into my 500gig external hdd, formatted in ntfs.

I tried both 320gb Seagate and 750gb passport worked fine...They both formatted in fat32.
HM.. IT SEEMS , ONLY I CANT Get my hdd TO WORK IN ICONIA...
wonder why
is anyone here in asia or may be in indonesia??
may be this is rom related ?
l live in china ,very far from you .....
i still wait for the 3.1 update.
i am not sure can i receive ota update if i root it.
so i dont root ,and still wait.
well ,if i get the update of 3.1 ,i will come back and reply .
i have a 2T hdd, buffalo.
Okey... So now i have tried at least 6 different hdd and all failed...
I start to think ut is my hardware or rom problem?
Any solution ?
When i first connected a hdd i also thought it didn't work. When i looked at mnt/usb_storage.........no filelist. But when i got a cup of coffee and looked again the filelist was there. Apparantly the Acer needs a time to scan the HDD which can be long when it is large. So l'lle patience.

Are you sure you have power (external) going into your HD? I tried a WD portable and it wouldn't be read by the A500 until I connected it to an external power supply. Then I could read it without any problems.

my hdd has only 1 usb slot, not 2 ..
Guy's....just download (HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool) to format your HD's to fat32. I did my 250 & 500GB HD and it work just find. Windows just don't format right...that's why I don't use windows to format my HD's. If you have Linux use Gparted.
I have

I also have a 250gb that I can't get to read but then it needs dual-powered cable to be read on my laptop so I expected that. But my 320gb Buffalo, my 32gb Patriot and my 80gb Maxtor read just fine. All are NTFS. I have a 160gb from work that I will try tomorrow.
Connect it to windows and pull up the disk administrator (where you create partitions) and see if the disk is basic or dynamic? Just a hunch... have you tried different cables? And finally I want to be sure you are plugging it into the full sized USB pert and not the micro USB.

i am using mac, not windows, my hdd connect fine to mac, how to do this on mac?
not only different cables, yesterday i went to an it mall, there i tried almost 5 different 500gb hdd 2.5 inch, all failed, all have fat32 format, cause i checked them on my mac beforehand
yeah, of course i connect it to the usb 2.0 port..
this is what i dont understand, everyones hdd work fine in the iconia, why my iconia just cant read?
mine don't work either. I have a 1 TB western digital hard drive.
i use ntfs mount,first time install that ntfs mount apk...cant read my hdd but aftter reboot my iconia all partition on hdd can read and walk normal like on my laptop
I'm in Jakarta, so I don't think it can be a rom thing. Are you using NTFS mount, or just trying to plug the HDD into your tab and use the built-in software? Try this and it should fix the problem.
Hello,
I need to get the internal memory on my Note mounted as a USB storage device on my machine but have failed. I have tried various apps from Play and everything I can think of. Has anyone managed this with the Note 10.1? I hate MTP and PTP doenst work great IMHO.
Thanks for any help.

The only option to get UMS to work is to go asop based rom.
With stock roms , there needs to be a kernel that should support it and there is no kernel that does it yet.

What do you mean you wanna plug into your pc ax a storage device?

I suspect the goal is to connect the device with a drive letter, since some windows apps aren't able to access the device through the MTP connetion. Example being keepass synchronization won't work over an MTP connection.
Note doesn`t support mass storage mode. Tested with app wich can change usb connection mode
Hello guys so here is the issue
None of the usb 3.0 device seems to work In otg mode(all usb 3.0 devices are reverse compatible to usb 2.0) i plugged my 500gb hdd with externa power then a 16 gb usb 3.0 pendrive with no success as soon as the device get recognised i see usb safe to remove notification and then no udisk in explorer.

Usb 3.0 port differs from 2.0 see the usb port of note 3 so it might be a problem to include it....since some HDD consume more power they will not work..ive tried with OTG and a trancend usb 3.0 8gb pendrive and it worked flawlessly

yeah i know the port differs but since the soc is same i think we can solder a usb 3.0 with some tweaking. anyways i provided hdd with esternal power with the help of a cable i modified. also did you tried any 16gb pendrive? i think size may have been a problem too?
also pls can you try an external hddso that i woud be certain that this is not a issue with my phone only. thanks in advance
anybody else getting same issue? (notification saying usb safe to remove..)

All you have to do is install Paragon NTFS & HFS+ on your phone & grant it superuser permission. Now use ES File Explorer to go to the /mount directory & you will find your hard disk partition there.
Sometimes you may get an error while trying to access the files in the secondary partitions. For this issue you will have to manually unmount those partitions in Paragon app and mount them to a location of your choice.
Hope this helps.

No power, you need to put it on the USB3 port (the blue port).
I have 3 toshiba USB powered HDD, and they work.
It should work, if your using the correct power adapter.
I don't have anything in the other USB port, expect the dongle on jellybean.

I've never tried through a hub.
Mojo's jellybean only supports read only, no write access on ntfs.
I've head people installing an app with root and it working that way.
I haven't tried on cm12
