Flash Drive Reader? - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hey, I really need some help with this if someone can provide any, or if there is any. Is there any possible way to get my ppc, HTC Vogue/Touch CDMA Alltel, to read files thats on a 1gig flash drive I have? Is there any software that would do it or any other way possible? Someone please help me out with this.

Sorry For Leaving this Out
Sorry I didn't mention this, but it has to be done without the help of a desktop or laptop. It really needs done between the phone and the flash drive. Thanks in advance for any help?

USB flash drive. Cant be done.....No usb host!
Get one of those usb/micro sd readers!

That doesn't answer the original question. I highly doubt there is a way for your phone to read data directly from a usb flash drive.
The only thing I can think of is if you get a Female Standard USB to Male MiniUSB converter, if that even exists. Good luck.

since MiniUSB works on the same protocol i doubt it CAN'T be done.. the whole reading part is just software.

does this support SDHC?

For the device to be able to use USB as a host, it must support USB OTG (on the go). This is hardware and as of yet, no HTC Device has the suitable hardware.

Like i said no usb host even if u somehow get it connected it still wont work.
Cardriver- i have similar one like in the picture and it does support SDHC cards

Normal usb2.0 plugged on DIAMOND 2

hi,
i am a new diamond 2 user and i want to ask if you can by any way or cable or adapter or something plug a normal usb2.0 like corsair voyager to my diamond 2 and be able to read the content with the phone.
if anyone knows how please tell me
thank you
No, it does not support USB Host...
Sadly, the various USB drivers floating around the site don't enable USB host function on our Diamond 2's!
However, this little gadget allows you to plug your USB key into the microSD slot. Am sorely tempted, but I can't decide if the price is worth it for the likely infrequency with which I'd be using it!

Pesky double post....
It looks tempting, but I wonder if the phone would provide enough power for a USB stick through its microSD slot?
Also, the sheer physical bulk would put a lot of strain on the tiny slot.
It also states "For mobile/cell phone, SmartPhone or PDA - any model with external microSD or SD socket.", and also states "N.B. Please ensure compatibility with your device." Not only contradictory, but how are you going to ensure compatibility before you buy?
We need a guinea pig to buy one

i don't care if it has cables or anything...i just want to read and write contents from usb. like the usb extenders for pcs something like that.
edit: no answers...that means that no one tried it , as i see it the main problem is the power the usb needs. if there is a solution to this please some one tell me!!!

(mac) usb questions

So i recently switched to a macbook and im trying to load a new rom onto my mytouch and i have a couple issues since i dont have a pro i just have the new unibody macbook i dont have an SD slot to load a rom onto the memory card and then load it via update.zip.
So im wondering is there a way to turn to load the ROM onto the memory card via usb (usb mass storage) or something tried searching here and tried googling mac+mytouch load roms and didnt really get anywhere so i was hoping someone can give me a push or shove in the right direction

hey,buddy.I'm apple&android fans.
Do you have a usb data cable?if you have one,you can do this.
1.Connect your macbook and mytouch by the usb data cable.
2.Slide down the status bar(on the top),like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3.then you'll see a new usb disk on your macbook.this is your sd card storage.
In addition,you can download an fastboot for mac.loading roms by this.

Tab 10.1 w/HDMI Connection

I swear I saw a thread about this but I couldn't find it. So I figured I'd share this with everyone. It so simple its stupid!!! Thanks Samsung for making a completely useless multimedia dock and forcing me to make one myself.
Here's a video on how to do it

....figured I would link these together for the other helpful info over there.
Do you or can anyone tell me if the HDMI and the usb are operable at the same time? I have an in-car custom set up I'm planning and I think I have it but I need to know if they'll work together. I only need the 30pin to usb cord for charging. The rest of it will run off the HDMI. I could post up a schematic of what I'm trying to do if anyone is interested in helping with the design of the project. Thanks!
I would also like to know if you can use hdmi and usb at the same time. for example you can use an xbox usb pad and hdmi to a tv on the xoom and charge at the same time, could this be done on the 10.1?
Is it mhl. if so it switches between depending on which is plugged in. so its either hdmi or usb not both. dumb i know. it can charge at the same time though.

Webcam via USB host

Has anyone succeeded in getting a webcam working via USB host? It looks like it can be done with Nook Color.

For that you need the drivers from the webcam for android... and i never seen one.
I think on the nook there is a universal driver for the "normal&cheap" webcams, but these ones with hd and extra functions, wont work without the drivers of the manufactures
On Linux kernel maybe you'll find things like that (maybe ^^)

Normal&cheap is all I want. I want to be able to capture video from a cheap lensless webcam connected to a telescope without having to drag a laptop outside.

Than i prefer to you that you ask in the Nook section for the drivers
If you have than you could add them in kernel or maybe as a module

This doesnt help us unfortunality
Well in short:
- find linux webcam driver
- use chulri's cross compile tutorial
- load .ko via insmod
(which is exactly what I am trying at the moment, but with a different hardware)

Micro usb sd card reader?

As you know you can get usb sd card readers. But these are quite big.
I wonder if a micro usb version exists that's quite flat. It would make the 16gb version a viable option.
Do you think something like this will work?

Someone posted this in another thread.
We need either a micro usb version of this:

}
Or this with a very small usb to micro usb converter. Smallest I could find;

Edit.
This might be better as it supports up to 64gb micro sd cards;

Bah, that micro-USB/USB adapter is enormous. I'm pretty sure they're extremely simple devices, since they're both USB so it just means that corresponding pins need to be connected. So why are they so huge? You could make one that was only as long as the necessary connectors, and it would be nearly invisible when it was actually hooked up.

Going deeper into that thread I discovered this:

LET'S FUND THIS! I would love for someone to manufacture this, even if I don't end up getting a nexus 10, it will mean any nexus device can use MicroSD no matter what!:laugh:
Also, this does exist now, but this is ugly and bulky compared to the 3d rendered final product in the product linked above, and it doesn't say if it supports SDXC or not
