Hi. I need connect my Canon 1d to Athena via USB cable but Athena dont see the camera and say : "Unidentifited USB Device, Enter the name of the device driver for this device" After fill a field is : "Error installing USB driver"
What can I do?
My Athena works with Card Reader without problem.
(Sorry for my English)
There are only a limited number of built-in drivers for the USB host. You need to supply a driver designed for Windows Mobile for your camera. It may not exist.
But toshiba g900 was works well with the same camera...
It is possible to "extract" usb driver from G900 and apply to Athena?
i hope this issue has a solution. i also had the same problem when i connected my canon powershot s5is to my athena.
hopefully one of the gurus figures out a solution
ciao!
i just saw that my camera (canon powershot s5 is) and jedras' camera (canon eos 1d) both uses PTP mode for transferring/accessing files from the camera.
i'm not sure if our athena will ever 'learn' how to connect to our cameras on this mode.

Hello everybody.
Did you get this one to work in our device? I'm trying but I didn't get it.
Sometimes it says that can connect to the camara, and other says that can open a session, this last after a reset.
Also I'm was looking in the web for another driver, but without success.
I have a Sony CyberShot DSC-W55 7.2 MPix. That I use to get photos of my trips. And it will be very useful if I can transfer to my X7501.
I have set my usb connection on the canara as PTP and the folder where I have the photos.
Regards.
did you solved this problem? I have the same problem and did not find the solution yet.

That is supposed to fix the PTP View issue, but it's still not working.
It's asking for the device name and I don't know what to put in the input box.
Maybe Zeno can help.
Ciao!
there are some willing for the development of camera driver...
There is a new Athena Project ROM coming and some of us requested an update with USB hosting which may solve the problems with connecting Athena to digital cameras (and other powered devices)
The developer/s are just asking for a little donation so that he can buy the 4-in-1 cable, which is essential for the USB host update development...
If you are willing to donate a little on the project pls. do so, so that we can enjoy using the Athena with our Cameras....see here:

Does anybody know if it is possible to connect the phone to a USB hard drive?
only with flame and Athena as they are the only ones which support usb host
other devices cant use usb devices only be used by usb hosts normaly a pc
There was actually someone who developed a working hard disk storage driver for windows mobile but last I checked the site no longer offered it. Searched for days trying to find the file elsewhere. No luck. Cant think of the company that made the driver.
I'm bumping this as I am also after the same sort of program / utility.
I want to be able to access my External HD and view / play files off it... anyone able to help me out?
Maybe with a external powersupplied disk

Correct
Our Hermes has no usb host support. I found a topic at forum.brighthand.com which suggested the host functionality could be added with a usb host driver. I found the software (attached zip) but alas... Though I did exactly as the 'manual' (readme.txt) explained, the usb-stick did not appear in my explorer.
Possibly an external drive with external power supply might work because the hermes usb port is simply not powerful enough to supply the power to the usb-stick. However I did not "explore that possibility" (don't have one ) and chances are 'just a driver' is not enough and hermes lacks "usb host hardware".
dident read the post because you dident give a link to the post just the forum
but i doubt that it's a general thing
many pda's have usbhost in the cpu itself but htc never connected those connectors
so it's not wired to the connector they have their own usb chip
so if the post you read said it about any other pda then htc based one it could be that that manufactor did connect the usb but dident supply the driver which would then be fixed with what you found

Sounds like there could be the potential for a hardware hack...
heh, nice try. but it will end like GPS HW hack on the TyTN (aka Hermes). it is not worth it, I mean there is easy way, just buy device with GPS integrated, or buy external. I have electronic skills and proper tools, I can do such things but it is too complicated. in that hermes was problem, that antena was not properly connected and you can never get a GPS lock. I guess that with usb host is the same. missing circuitry.

The USB host port of the Samsung CPU is used to connect to the internal GSM/GPRS chipset. So no chance to break it up!
If someone would ever hack this hardware part, the result would be a hermes without radio.
The engineers at HTC used the USB host port to achieve the necessary bandwith for high speed data connection to the GSM/GPRS chips from Qualcomm.

thats an interesting information, thanx

I am working on a project that required that we use a video camera that is external to the phone. We are looking at USB cameras and I was wondering if anyone knew of any solution that would allow us to use the external USB connected camera instead of the build in cameras on most phones.
Thanks.
guess not, for the same reason as mentioned in the below tread

Are there SDIO cameras? Failing that, it might be possible to use a LAN based camera, and connect to it through WiFi...
Yep, there are some SDIO cameras available
http://images.google.pl/images?q=sd...pl:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&sa=N&tab=wi
Of course if the phone doesn't have a SD/MMC slot, only a miniSD one, it won't fit in. But i guess that wiring the camera to a miniSD-microSD adapter might work, since both these cards are essentially the same, and the only difference is the form factor.
There are also CF-based cameras, but i haven't seen a hone equipped with a CF slot for a while.

HTC Sedna has a CF slot as do many HP devices.
I thought some-one wrote a USB camera driver for windows mobile?

I expect you are going to need a certain amount of expertise to use it.

Although WM and WinCE use the same basic code, WinCE has USB host functionality in most implementations, WM does not.
Thanks for the input.
Here are follow up questions:
- Are there any devices running WM5 or 6 that implement (in hardware) USB Host?
- Assuming that a WM5/6 device with the right HW can be found (see question above), how big of a job would it be to develop a driver for an external USB camera (assuming I might already have the code for a Windows 2000 / XP / Vista one)?
Txs
Most of the FSC Loox devices have an USB-Host.
I have a Loox 720 and a Loox N560 with this function.
Also the Toshiba G900 (and maybe also other Gx00 models) does have a host USB. But i have no idea about how hard would it be to get a webcam working on it.
ya i dont have any idea about it if we doo it better clint it like this
Hi, I saw several post that speak about use the HTC camera to use to insert in the properties (exif) in jpg photos, like
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-363014.html
I know that our devices, haven´t got GPS, but I use with external GPS bluetooth.
I try to insert in registry the value P9, because it don´t appear, but it isn´t work.
I have Rom CE OS 5.2.1948 (BUILD 18548.0.7.0)
Any advice?
Also, I would like to know if anybody can use the tytn like usb host (to connect a memory card or pendrive to tytn usb conector) and can read the content of the memory connected.
Any idea?
Thanks.
hi, I used to have a hermes. nice device. but GPS photo did not worked for me. I tried few roms but without luck. also hermes doesnt have any USB host, so if you connect e.g. USB harddisk then it will be not detected-recognized. but you can use your tytn as mass storage, with wm5storage. if you find out how to set the camera to take a picture with exif GPS info, put the info in here. I am curious.

Does any1 who has it knows if Xperia supports USH hub or mass storage?
If you connect an external USB stick or card reader, the Xperia is able to read from it?
I have asked on developer's forum, but no one was able to answer, so i thjought any1 who has it can try an tell me.
Thanx!
you can choose btw. mass storage or active sync in the settings.

The question was if it could read from a mass storage device or a USB stick, not the opposite.
Afaik the USB port has no host mode, but on many devices today the hardware supports changing from slave to host mode. If so, it has to be some kind of firmware hack to do it.
Btw, the mass storage setting is superior to the ActiveSync mode in bitrate when transfering large files, like music and movies.
The truth is that MSM7200A natively supports "USB on the go", but if SE utilizes it, is another matter. Other HTC devices with the similar Qualcomm chip don't support it.
I wonder if this is a hardware or software issue (just like TV-out only difference being that on HTC devices it is enaled).
I have already check it with usb host cable from Toshiba G900 but nothings happend :-( Maybe it's just a metter of proper drivers or maybe it's just not implemented.
use wmStorage

Does this work with WM 6.1. Someone should test anyway.
(I hate it that I am still waiting for mine for over 2 weeks)
I was somehow misundestood.
Let's say i'm out of the office whitout the notebook. I meet with a friend and i want to give him some files on a usb stick. I connect the stick to the Xperia, write the files from Xperia memory/email/whatever to the USB stick. Then we go an drink beer
Is that scenario possible?
I'm waiting for my Xperia to arrive (they say about 25th of nov.), but i want to know. I will test.
Maybe someone will write an app that can do that until i got my Xperia
I'm pretty sure that USB host has to be enabled in firmware not software. I read in a few places recently that practically all the chips include USB host these days, but many manufacturers do not utilise the ability. I think it's likely that they'll add USB host as a killer feature in Xperia X2 to try to entice us to upgrade.

That's exactly what USB on the go is. If the USB stack on a device is hardware implemented it can't be done. Of course as I said that Qualcomm SoC supports it but we don't know if HTC,SE utilizes it. Also, we don't know if it is a driver or software issue.
I want to be able to plug a standard usb webcam "type" device into my A500.
I bought off a usb microscope off Ebay. It is recognized under windows xp - 7 as a usb hid device. It did not even come with a driver disk, since everything recognized it automagically. I tried it last night under 3 different linux distro's and they detected it with no issue.
Does anyone know of a way? It would be so much easier to carry the tablet with me, vs a laptop, not to mention much better battery life so I can be in the field longer without a recharge.
I think the A500 needs root for it to go into host mode. Do you have it rooted? I don't think I have heard of any webcam device working on Android with a simple plug and play, but who knows.

Oh yeah I'm rooted, running a custom rom. I'm not scared to get my hands dirty either if someone knows of a solution
Hello, I'm looking also to find a solution for a webcam. But no lock so far.
Once I tried one on a older tablet running 1.6 and it worked but as it had the drivers build in loaded but I had to use a special camera apk.
So I think we need to have two things (maybe this is obvious for you)
1) the correct drivers loaded (we need to find them)
2) The correct app that let us choose the usb camera as I think they enumerate starting as 0... Or can create one
But to me the hardest part is finding the correct drivers.
Could you share the a link to that ebay microscope ? I might get one of the same so we can play with the same thing.
Thx
