USB host functionality?

Has it USB host functionality to attach e.g. a hard drive?
Would be interesting to know
Regards,
Rainer

since universals cpu is PXA27x.....(272),then it has a USB host functionnality...and if u are wondering...then yes...this means that u can connect ur HDD to it,and guess what....it's the first HTC device with USB 2.0,so imagine!!!!!!!
RAGO :lol:

Great news!!! Makes me wanna get this device even more

So you want to carry a big device around and then an external hard disk drive! Seems a bit over the top for something to do your phone / email on.

But isnt the USB on the MDA IV mini usb? How do normal usb devices work on a mini usb port?

Magician has also an Intel PXA272 but as far as I know USB-Host isnt working. If it works please correct me.
Lets hope that USB-Host will work on Universal.
Has anyone tried USB-Host on Universal yet?
Btw is there another cable needed (are other Pins of the 5 in the MiniUSB Plug used?) or just an adapter for the end of the USB-Cabel

Has anyone tried USB-Host on Universal yet?

the device have been been released yet so unless people here
get early samples to review i dont think anybody have tried it yet

No time or kit handy to test I'm afraid.

I got sent some info that claimed the Universal does have USB host (from someone claiming to have one for testing but is under NDA) - but nothing confirmed or proved.
Having a PXA27x processor does not have to mean that the USB host functionality is made use of. The HP iPAQ hx4700 and Dell Axim X50v both have processors capable of USB hosting - but neither device makes use of it.

I didn't say that ONLY PXA27x have USB hosting functionality,and am quite sure ur right concerning the iPAQ and the Axim.... :wink:
"PXA27x CPUs have USB host functionality",said Intel:
"Does the Intel® PXA27x family processors support USB Host in addition to USB Client?
Yes, the Intel® PXA27x family processors, supports USB HOST and Client (Rev. 1.1 compliance) and USB On-The-Go (OTG). "
Read this http://www.intel.com/design/pca/applicationsprocessors/faq/pxa27x_faq.htm#usb
Still...untill the Universal is released and fully tested,all we are saying remains theories :wink:
untill then.......
greetings..
RAGO :lol:

A bit extreme though and I find it hard to accept that we need a USB client for the device. I mean what's next, having ActiveSync installed in the Universal and have other handheld devices sync in it as well? Weird...
Still the idea seems good...

Er... what?! I'm not sure you read my point at all...!? I said nothing about whether other processors have USB host or not - I'm not at all sure why you think I did?!
I simply pointed out that PDAs with the PXA27x processor don't always make use of its USB host functionality. In your original post you appeared to suggest that the presence of the PXA27x would mean the Unviersal definitely has host functionality - I was correcting that.
BTW - don't assume either that the Universal has USB 2.0 - I've not seen a single report that it does - and though the PXA27x does support it - only one Pocket PC with that processor has, to date, implemented it.
Remember - the XDA IIi has a PXA272 processor - and has USB Client 1.1 only and no USB host.

No answer yet?
Come on people!
Surely, there are several testers on this forum already..
Why haven't you tested this yet?

who are the testers?
i havent seen any
but then i'm a bat
well one problem with testing i guess is getting the cable
guess it would need usbA or B depending on the type of usb mass storage controller in one end and a universal connector in the other
if no such cable came with the device then
maybe people would have to make the cable themselvs

usb hosting
Well dudes, I sent an email to clubimate techsupport asking them about usb hosting capability, still waiting for an answer... maybe if enough people email them, they will take notice and put it in their faq or whatever...

Can you connect a keyboard and tell us
what will happen ?
Edit: I'm not a microsoft expert, but if there
is a background program like activesync that
forces the port to slave mode, then nothing should
happen.
I don't remember its name, but this program
should be killed.

Help with I-Mate (XDAII)

Hello,
I'm currently trying to get a second hand I-Mate syncing with ActiveSync using a USB cradle. Everything else works fine, with the exception of a USB sync. When my I-Mate cradle is plugged in via USB, and the powered-on I-Mate is placed in the cradle, a Windows device message appears stating "USB Device Not Recognized". This happened with another I-Mate I was able to try and on multiple computers with multiple cradles. I'm quite baffled. I've tried verstions 3.7, 3.8 and 4.0 of ActiveSync.
I would really like to get the USB cradle working so I can try WM2005 and not have to xfer software to the I-Mate over my GRPS connection
Thanks in advance.
-Chris.

Hi Chris.
That certainly is odd since you've tried multiple ActiveSync versions on multiple PCs with multiple i-Mates!
What OS are the PCs running?
Normally when you first connect the i-mate via the cradle after installing ActiveSync, XP will launch the Add Hardware Wizard, which should find the drivers as ActiveSync installs them.
I have heard that reverting from ActiveSync 4 to 3.x can cause problems, but if you started with 3.7 & worked up from there, that isn't your issue.
Can you launch ActiveSync manually via Start - All Programs etc.?
Perhaps check the XP driver-signing policy - maybe it's stopping the driver from installing. I'd normally suggest trying a different USB port, but trying another PC covers that one .
Good luck - I know this one would annoy the hell out of me too!

The PCs that I've tried have been running XP. My work machine SP1 while my home machine SP2.
I tried disabling the windows firewall in SP2 to no avail. The two other units I tried were in various states of order so that could be contributing to the issue.
The touchscreen is unresponsive on one while the other is stuck showing serial information (both issues I've found out how to resolve reading this forum, that'll make 2 more functional I-Mates!)
I have since completley removed ActiveSync from my PC at home. When I place my I-Mate into the cradle, no windows device messages appear and when I go into the device manager the I-Mate isn't even seen anymore.
I might just cut my losses and go cough up $40 for a usb bluetooth adapter for the desktop and sync that way. I'd rather not do this as I don't believe I can upgrade the ROM via bluetooth, and I'd very much like to throw WM2005 on one of these puppies, providing I can even get that far.

Ok, so a good majority will probably hate me after this.
My sync problem was caused by me not using a 5v power adapter. Yes, it was that simple. My power adapter looks like some kind of alien as it's being converted with 3 devices to conform to standard 110v north american AC. It was purchased for European users originally.
BUT, here's my saving grace. The I-Mate I was playing with won't sync via USB, it will do bluetooth and even serial but not usb???
Even more annoying is the unit I'm now using has an annoying issue with the touchscreen. If I receive a call or take care of any other incoming data activity, the screen freezes. I will not be able to use the touch screen until the battery is taken out. Very annoying, to the point I'm using the bluetooth unit. It's got the latest firmwares of the units (1.72wwe, 1.14 radio, 1337.38 for g (general?) bluetooth unit has 1,66wwe, 1.10 radio and 1337.2x for g) ...haha, sorry I thought that one was awesome and very fitting for a faulty device... just not the right number for a release...

- 2_22_19_26I
- SPL
- JacHero 2.1F
Um, none of these are Hero ROMs!!!
P

you must send them back to htc, theres no alternative.. but i cant unterstand why people install a software (=rom) for a different hardware system...

As the hero is the most expensive I took tis first into account, but as you can read with this software I bricked my my G2 MAGIC as well!
on both phones the same ****.
AND, it would be better if the pseudo developers would be more professional in publishing and tell the user that this Ropm is JUST for this phone, etc... Can't see it written on the Homepage - just here in the forum I see more background infos...
I am Arch LINUX Package Maintainer, registered LINUX User since 2002 and NOT a noob, ok?
thanks anyway, I send both bricks back to recovery service and maybe let you know...

Given that "justanothercrowd" *specifically* states
PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE FLASHING ANY ROM INCLUDING MINE!!!

in his XDA post for his ROM, I find it rather surprising that you should decide to denigrate the ROM developers because *you* did not follow those instructions. ( link - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=522076 )
In the XDA world, whatever you do to your phone is *your* responsibility. Even if you correctly follow the instructions, and end up with a bricked phone, it is still *your* responsibility. I'm not try to be harsh here, but this is a simple fact - if you flash any phone with a ROM from a "non-authorized" source, you are effectively unsupported, with the exception of the goodwill of the people and developers in the community that provided the ROM. Making statements like the one quoted above is one of the fastest ways to see that goodwill dissipate!

Just a quick question - does an "Arch LINUX Package Maintainer" beat a level 5 Arch Mage in Dungeons and Dragons?

So lets see -
You do something idiotic ( and with known risks we all take onboard )
Then mess it all up...twice
Then go squealing thats it 'not your fault' whilst claiming to be the GOL ( Gandalf of Linux )
Good luck on obtaining help here.

why do i see a flame war coming?
you have three posts and two of them is whining that you screwed up on ROMs that are not for the devices you have....
muahahaha! more money than sense...?

How hard can it be, to use a rom from the correct section (e.g. the Hero forum part for... indeed, Hero roms!).
You should not blame the 'pseudo developers' for your mistakes.
On the other hand I'm going to cut you some slack. Even though you made a terrible mistake, fooked up completely and you are now desperately trying to blame other people for it... I totally feel your pain. Losing two devices like this obviously isn't a nice experience at all. And it's probably going to cost you money on top of that as well, it totally sucks!

Please tell us if HTC fixed your phones for free (just in case that mine gets bricked, too). Wishing you good luck.
BTW with Arch: I love it, but thats the stuff with the not really researching, same on Android and Arch, when you do something without "really" knowing what, you can damage it.
OK, cya anyway and stay with us and Android
Greets.

Well colour me surprised. Nice to see that not everything descends into flaming here..!

Yes. Both have been replaced without a hassle. I told them it was bricked after putting in a foreign card on vacation and getting a spurious OTA (stupid but worked).
The mistake with one fon was definitely my fault and I excuse for the tone. English is not my native language and this sounded way too rude.

Oh I do love a happy ending!
Glad you got it sorted
Read, read again, and then read another few times just to be sure - That's my mantra when it comes to flashing / modding my phone.

[WebTop] USB to Ethernet is OK

Hi,
WebTop (with full ubuntu mod) works fine with Trendnet TU2-ET100 (asix chipset).
I have just added these 2 lines in "/osh/etc/network/interfaces" for DHCP autoconfiguration :
auto usbeth0
iface usbeth0 inet dhcp
Doum

Nice to know. Ethernet might come in handy for a lot of people docking as their PCs.
I guess any other USB ethernet card that works with a normal Linux PC should work here.

Hello there,
First I would like to say that I'm glad that in the last few weeks i finally managed to let my heavy 15.4' 9 cell Dell Laptop on the Office and bring home the Atrix + LapDock everyday including weekends and holidays
I have what i need on my LapDock + FullUbuntu: gedit, gnome-terminal, OpenOffice, PDF readers, Psi+ (jabber client with PGP Encryption), GNUPG, Mumble Voice Chat, Firefox (with client SSL certificates ) and OpenVPN.
Everything else, like e-mail, music and video players i'll prefer running on the Android
So, i want to buy this USB -> Ethernet adapter to make it even better!
I thought buying the TrendNet but it seems somewhat bigger than other adapters that use the same "chipset" (ASIC). I also find those adapters cheaper than the TrendNet one:
http://www.ebay.com/dsc/i.html?_nkw...=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313&LH_TitleDesc=1
I think i will buy this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NIB-REAL-US...ltDomain_0&hash=item56471dfaff#ht_2136wt_1026
It seems great but now i'm not entirely sure what's the chipset on the TrendNet: AX88772A or AX88772B?
The one i'm buying uses the AX88772B.
The difference seems to be very small, the drivers seems to be the same and the "B" version supports checksum offloading and it's intended for Low Power consumption. Here's the detailed specs of both chips:
http://www.asix.com.tw/products.php?op=pItemdetail&PItemID=97;71;101
http://www.asix.com.tw/products.php?op=pItemdetail&PItemID=105;71;101
So, what do you guys think?

Did you get it yet? If you did, how does it work?

I bought this one from Deal Extreme:
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/usb-2-0-10-100mbps-rj45-lan-ethernet-network-adapter-dongle-34691
It's really cheap, small and uses the AX88772B chipset.
But i'm not able to test yet, simply because it's not here yet
I bought using standard Air Mail that takes something like 20 days to get here in Brazil... And when it does arrive here it's going to take 10 more days (or even more) for Brazilian (Fuc***) Customs to release it for Brazilian Postal Service to finally deliver it... This sucks.
But well, i promise that as soon as I get it, i will test and put the results here.
Merry Christmas!

Post resurrection alert!
I tried this with an Airlink 101 today. I didn't add the extra lines listed in the OP, but I did start the dhcp client manually and it got an address and webtop was happy. Does anyone know if the android portion of the phone is able to use the wired Ethernet connection? From my quick test it didn't seem like it did.
I have a much slimmer Cisco USB to Ethernet adapter that I plan to try. I used the Airlink because it was lying around on my desk doing nothing.
And with all the webtop talk starting up, this may be of interest to others.

AX88772B not working
Well, mine did not work
I bougth this one from DealExtreme:
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/usb-2-0...r-dongle-34691
As i said before, it uses the AX88772B chipset.
I have confirmed that and installed the driver for my MacBookPro and it's working just fine.
I have downloaded the drivers from:
http://www.asix.com.tw/products.php?op=pItemdetail&PItemID=105;71;101
It's noticeable that there is also a driver for Android but it's the source code, not the compiled kernel module.
So i think i'll will need to get the Atrix kernel source compile the driver with the headers and prey to work...
Maybe it's something with my ROM... I have updated to the latest Motorola official 2.3.6 build for Brazil.
Could you guys tell me what's the output of these two linux commands, as soon as you plug the USB device ( the last 10 lines or so):
$ dmesg
and
$ lsmod
Victor.

This is awesome.
Can't wait until they bring the webtop to CM7. It was a loss when I upgraded, but the smoothness and capabilities of a CM7 rom are worth the loss of the webtop... for now.
It's good to know that when it get's working again I can use a USB to Ethernet with the Ubuntu mod.
Thanks!

Don't hold ur breath.....cm9 is underway don't think webtop is gonne come yo cm7 but u can always mirror with lapdock

root, make changes, then unroot
Would like to be able to use a usb ethernet adapater on my unaltered Atrix running 2.3.4. If I were to root, make the changes to the two lines and then unroot again, would the changes remain?
In Post 6 above there is mention of the usb ethernet adapter only working under webtop. Is there a way to make it work on the phone itself as well, i.e., for the phone browser / market / email / etc.

Hello.
When it connected to my HDDOck - eth0 not detected. In the webtop (I webtop2sd) lights icon - an unknown usb connection ...

Let's see how do you handle something real important and challenging Thanks in advanced

Hello Dear Sir,
How are you doing???
Thanks for helping everybody out of their PC problems.
I have a final trial for your exceptional capabilities.
Let's see how do you handle something real important???
Something I have been failed to trouble shoot own my own even I have tried all kind of solutions, even regedit and uppercase and lower case removal everything in my power.
Let's see if you are good enough to solve out this issue successfully???!!!
I have tried to connect Hitachi + LG = HL slim portable Blu-ray Writer (with 128GB BDXL Burning capability).
Model: BP55EB40
SVC Code: EB40
Manufactured: Dec. 2021 (20-12-2021)
Rom Version: 1.03
Windows Home Edition (English Version) Version 22H2 (OS Build 22621.1848)
I have recently reinstalled Windows 11 Home edition on both laptops MSI GE66 Raider 10SFS & MSI GL66 Pulse 12UGK.
But none of them detect the above mentioned devices (I have 6 of them) and none of them works on both laptops. It is with USB2.0 interface and both USB2 and USB3.1 ports on both laptops do not detect them and there is nothing in device manager even I have installed all drivers on both laptops and have them Windows updated to full latest capacity.
No devices appears in device manager, if it was error with one drive I cannot presume that all 6 have error???
But funny thing is that I can open HL devices by pressing button on them???
Please take your time, and if you manage to solve out this issue successfully (make appear HL BP55EB40 in Windows explorer and Device manager) then my respect will be yours.
OK??? )))
Thanks,
Have a great weekend,
Best regards,
