is it possible to connect a usb internet dongle via an adapter to htc touch to browse the internet . my htc is not unlocked so i cant put the three network sim card into the phone so i just wondered if it possible ?
thanks
I'm a bit of a newb, but if you flash your ROM I think you'll lose all mobile locks - try Dutty's or Miri's as I can vouch they're both stable and feature-packed, but there's a lot of choice out there
no currently it don't support usb host which is required to use other usb devices
only 2 htc devices support usb host don't seem to be a priority for htc
cheeers for the replies . it cleared that up for me
you dont lose all mobile locks when you flash your rom?

Hello everyone..
I'm a newbie, i just bought my prophet (xda neo) but havent laid my hands on it yet...(waiting for delivery)
I have a question, what happens if i do connect an external HD via an usb to IDE interface to the mini usb port of the prophet?
(the hd is autonomously powered.. )
Will i be able to read and write to the hd??
Thanks!
A.
Most probably nothing will happen...
Windows XP, or earlier versions, can recognize the hd only because they have preinstalled drivers in their system. PPC's are unlikely to have such support built in, and I have not heard anyone using this.
Why would you need it?
You could always connect your hd to your pc, and connect to it through setting up a network folder over wifi to it. That way you could read/write on it.
Cheers.
'USB Host' is not supported on the Prophet, i.e. it cannot host USB devices such as HDD, card reader, etc.
Hi,
want to use my Optus wireless 5gb plan for data on my Atom, works fine with laptop & PC. The wireless modem is a Huawei Brand - Model E220 - HSDPA USB Modem. It has a mini usb connector and i have come across a data transfer cable that has a mini usb at each end... so E220 can connect to Atom.
Q.
1. does anybody know if I can use this setup for data (mini usb to mini usb) similar in function to a WiFi connection?
have plugged the E220 into my Atom but nothing happens (the drivers auto load on PC)
2. any help in the setup would be greatly appreciated
have read the wiki on setting up Atom as Modem but not sure if same steps to set the E220 up as the modem
No you cannot use huawei e220 as a modem
cos atom doesn't have host usb capability
and huawei e220 need to have software installed in the host so its imposibble
Just use your laptop and if you really like the small screen then connect the atom through your cable to laptop and you can browsing through your atom

There is a wiki on using the Atom as a modem... so even after installing the USB drivers that 02 suggest it will still not work?

this was where i thought would have trouble unless the USB drivers as per the wiki would work for the E220

actually want push email on PDA without paying for an extra data plan as better to share 5 Gb a month
Please excuse me if I'm missing the point ...
....But wouldn't it be simpler to simply put the SIM from the E220 into the Atom ?

tried that and could not get to work... not sure if because its not hsdpa enabled or something else .. mute point now as after 22 months it will not charge so have retired it as it was working great with WM6.1 & HTC plugin
i have an old HTC magic ( 32a ) with a custom rom on it. Because i got my self an iphone 3gs i want to sell my magic now.
but before i want to put the original rom from HTC on it again.
my little problem is that i can find the usb cabel that came with the phone.
but i have an usb cabel i used for an usb hub that fits the mini usb in the phone.
Should i not be able to use this cabel to connect and sync my magic ( when i connect it to the pc, it finds the phone but only to be used as a storage device ) in HTC sync it´s not registered
Hope you can help me. and sorry if i put this in the wrong forum
any mini usb cable will work. i lost my cable that came with my phone months ago, been using a standard mini usb fine. although i dont use HTC sync, im fairly sure any mini usb will work, do you have another you can try?
i got an mini usb i use for to charge my headset for my ps3 could try that.
but dont understand why i can´t get htc sync to see my phone.
I have the newest htc sync installed so it should run fine on windows 7 x64 with out doing anything special or iam i wrong ?
hmm it should be fine.. but again ive never used htc sync... maybe look at there FAQ and see if there is no issues with win7 and sync.
talk to there customer support?? i really cant see it being the cable..
EDIT: ahh.. just read you are running a custom rom
i heard that people who run cyanogenmod cannot use htc sync, i believe it relies heavily on the htc framework which is pulled out of most custom roms.
sense roms appear to work fine however
my guess is thats your issue...
just gonna try a couple of things first and doing some research before i contact thier support
Will try the other cabel tommorow.
Standard USB cables have always worked in the HTC port. The exta side has pins for some kind of add-on (probably headphones or video) that current phones I don't even think use.
I've used the cable for charging my PS3 controller several times for my phone. Did you install HTC Sync after you plugged the phone into your computer the first time? If so you probably need to uninstall the drivers and plug the phone back in to let them reinstall with the HTC Sync provided driver.

from what you guys say it should work then.
I just have to kick my pc then and see if that works
well since your running a custom rom it will be hit or miss
i know on CM6 htc sync does NOT work as it requires the HTC framework which is stripped from the rom
your best bet would be using a rom built off of a legit carrier rom, like one of the rogers rooted roms, or a sense rom as they will have the HTC framework in the rom
so it may work, it may not.... depending on what rom you are on.... so its not your cable...
atm iam running CM 4.2.14.1 ( it says so in about phone ) i know it´s an old rom.
hello,
i want to connect my 3G modem with my hd2, either in android or windows, but i would like to ask someone if knows what cable should i use? i found these :
http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-Host-Micro-...568?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item45f8666530
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5719850
are there differences between them??
Also i would like to ask if someone has tested such thing before, as i dont know if the 3g modem will be recognized...
thanks

yes, the ebay one is for a device that already supports USB host so will provide the power needed to host a USB device, and will not work with the hd2.
The xda one is a very clever workaround to get some usb host functions working on a non usb hosting device, that may just about support a usb keyboard and a memory stick, and no...............

.........it almost certainly wont.
You could always take the sim out of your 3g modem and use it in your phone, , not ideal but,.,,,

so with the ebay cable i wont be able to give power to anything external.....
i know that i can change sims but this is a very frustrating procedure, and besides the time it takes to change sim and boot phone, in the internet sim i cannot take calls, its an internet sim.... Would an dual sim adaptor work in my case?
Sorry never used dual adapter so couldn't comment. Interesting idea tho.
For Last 2 Weeks I was want to connect My Htc Hero to my laptop but i was Have a problem I was not able to connect My hero to the laptop and the Mobile was not able to find the Htc sync on the laptop I search for long hours and read lots of threads about fixing this problem But no one work i instill uninstall the driver . Update it tried almost every way but it was the same so suddnely i got idea and i try it it works like a charm and every thing back to normal So i liked to share this here may be it will Be usfule for some one else and not lost like me
All you Have to do is that
1- before Connecting the mobile Disconnect any other external driver that connect to laptop or the Pc Like Multi USB Port Hub or 3G or 4G dongle or Internet stick for my i disconnect every thing even external Mouse and Keyboard or external camera too in My case the problem was because The Multiple USB port hub For PC you can keep the key board and Mouse
2- Dont Forget to turn On USB and change the from charge to sync
3-connect your Mobile wait till the windows instill the driver open htc sync and it will start work again
Hope this will be useful for every one ..............
good tip. Thanks. I will try that.
