I recently got the HTC Shift and as we all know there is no build in DVD Super multi in it. I bought a Sony DVD Super multi from my friend and after connecting it to the USB port on the HTC. It detect the drive perfectly but whenever i try to run any CD or DVD the icon disappears from the My computer. I also tested connecting this Sony drive to my desktop and it is working fine there.??? any idea. i want to buy a new LD DVD Drive but not sure if it is going to work or not.
Solution: I purchased a new LG DVD Super multi that came with the external USB connector to give power to the DVD and as i tell i connected it to my desktop to give power through the USB to the DVD Super multi and finally it is working now and i am installing the WIN 7 now!!!!!!! HURRA PARTY TIME!!!!!!!!
Not enough power.
As far as I understand, there's not enough power going through the usb hub to power the dvd drive. You need an external power supply.
If you're using the hub/lan device that came with the shift, there's a mini usb jack in there which can take a 5v current. That means that you need to get a power adapter that has a usb mini output. I use my Touch HD charger to power the hub if there's anything that normally needs more power from the shift.
I hope that helps.

I faced the same problem when connecting two ext. HDD or flash USBs but I never thought of the mini USB powering idea...

Ok, i got the cable that can give power from the USB port. I am planning to give the power to the DVD rom from my desktop.... is this may help?
Hi, I solved same Problem with external USB-HDD and external USB-DVD with an external USB Hub that has a Power Supply.
But so, there is not every time a external CDROM/USB-HDD or Power Supply on my travel sides, so I modify a USB-Stick with 4GB Space to boot and install Windows from them..
see the small and easy programm:
winsetupfromusb
http://www.msfn.org/board/install-USB-WinSetupF-t120444.html
if you have little time more, you can insert all needed drivers before you
make winsetupfromusb with Nlite...

Hi, im wondering if i can use a USB hub with my acer so i can have a keyboard and mouse hooked up before i buy one.
Yes it does.
~Sent from my Droid SuperCharge~
Sweet! Thanks for the info
Yes but limited to power Requirements
As stated above it will Support a hub ..
But with limitations on devices.. you will not be able to say use a full size usb hard drive while connected to a keyboard and mouse at the same time. I belive this will be to much power . look at the amps and the devices are pulling and compare them with with the Hub says its needs are.. But this is common on any usb hub. they make some that you can use with or without power cord.. I have one that works will i think its a cheaper belkin brand..... very tiny and have 4 ports..

I have yet to see a "full size" hdd that doesn't have it's own power supply. Now an external portable laptop hdd is a different story

You are correct because they require 12 v.. I use a 1.2 tb laptop drive in a enclosure on mine... it works without power but when powered its much faster.guess there is some type of throttle software.. mine has sata connector . that i also use on my laptop on the esata port .. there its awesome fast.. I have linux windows 8 and a diag version of dos installed on with a nice multi boot loader of course..
For those into games.. my sons Saitek x45 flight controller works on the a500. but MUST Be connected to a usb Powered hub . not sure what he plays with it other then the racing game.. from gameloft. So glad he is off to school now so i get my tablet to myself again...
so picture it you're using the tablet for video or music running from a memory stick via OTG and you want to be able to power/charge the device at the same time without having to remove the pen drive is there any way of achieving this?
some kind of pass through device perhaps or a usb hub of sorts?
How to power with usb-otg
I can't confirm whether this will work for the Nexus 7 but it has worked on my Triumph and Photon 4G. Go to meritline.com and look for a Pisen® Multi Purpose USB Hub, White (sorry can't post links yet.) Plug your otg into the white port and the red into any available usb power supply (be it a laptop or charger) you may want to have an extension available depending on your set-up. For me this has provided power to keep device charged as well as interface thumb drives, card readers, etc, has even powered a bus-powered external hdd with no problems.
Hello, I want to know how many USB-Devices you can use, assuming you use a normal USB-OTG cable and a cheap USB hub (without external power supply). How many devices can Android theoretically recognize? Is it possible to use a keyboard, mouse and USB stick/HDD? Would be cool if someone could try this....
Thanks in advance!

Android can recognize as many devices as there are USB hub ports, check out this video (I know it's for the Galaxy S3 but the idea is the same) specifically 2:50 seconds on using a USB hub with mouse, keyboard, and other accessories.

Thanks, but I think the hub used in the video has an external power supply. At 3:50 you can see the black round cable...

It should work the same with a non powered USB except that power will be drawn from the tablets battery power instead of an external power supply.

I tried to use multiple usb flash drives but they were not compatible with the aosp roms otg storage implementations. It recognized the first and after adding the second it didnt recognize it, but the first onewas still tdhere
I think in this case its simply not implemented
I will try flash drive + mouse/keyboard and give feedback when i have time

I tried for a couple of days to tweak the implementation in my kernel mod so that multiple usb drives could be mounted, i took pointers from my s3, but it seems samsung have further mods, probably to vold in their own brand devices and i couldnt for the life of me get it to recognise more than one device on the n10.

I think a powered hub is the way to go if you're using multiple devices as I'm sure there's a limit as to how much power the USB port can supply to your devices. You may find that several flash drives work fine together with a powered hub and I would try to get one with a 5v 2a adaptor if possible to give you flexibility to plug virtually anything in you wish simultaneously

Without a powered hub the deciding factor for how many devices you can use is going to be how much power each device draws... And that will vary from device to device.
I, personally, have had a keyboard, wireless mouse, flash drive and Xbox controller all connected at the same time with an unpowered hub.
Yeah, multiple flash drives and especially external USB spinners tend to draw a lot more power. Input devices (keyboards, mice, joypads) use very little power but a combination of several may be enough to give you intermittent operation and a few issues.
Usually when people start connecting keyboards and suchlike, they're going to be at a desk so should have access to a wall socket anyway; powered hubs tend to make multiple devices work better as it's a stable power supply available.

do you think the n10 provides less poser on its usb bus than a pc or laptop? i think its able to provide the same power as my pc and 3 usb sticks + wireless keyboard/mouse work perfectly with a non powered hub...
btw. i just tried the hub with 1 flash + mouse+ keyboard, works perfectly (aosp rom 2nd dec version i think)

I'm pretty certain that it does provide less; I have a 2.5" WD Passport HDD that is bus powered. My XOOM used to power it, my PC and laptops power it, but my Nexus 10 doesn't. The N10 certainly isn't pushing 500mA in host mode cause the drive can't even spin up on the power its receiving. It's a real shame cause I had hoped to power the HDD directly.
What I need now is a nice small powered hub that I can power from an emergency phone charger battery, like my Mili Power brick.

Does the Asus Vivo Smart ME400 micro-USB port support USB devices like flash drive - keyboard - mouse - HD & CD drive? If yes, where do I get the right USB adapter for it? THANKS.

Use a regular OTG Micro USB to USB adapter
I've been testing my micro USB port with a micro USB to USB OTG cable I have.
Logitech G700 mouse works.
Kingston micro SD to USB adapter works.
Corsair Vengeance 2000 headphones works.
WD 500GB USB 3.0 hard drive works.
Samsung Ultraslim DVD drive does NOT work.
The Samsung DVD drive did work on the full sized USB port on my Samsung 500T tablet. But on the ME400, the light lights up once when I plug it in, but never installs the device and doesn't have any power afterwards. This is a USB powered DVD drive.
Surprised the external hard drive did work when the DVD drive failed. But it showed up fine, had some videos on it, was able to play videos from there okay.
I have another external DVD drive that is powered externally, I imagine that'll probably work fine, I'm too lazy to find it and plug it in (it's an old giant clunky beast).

I think the port only puts out 500ma. The DVD Drive is most likely over that. However quite a lot of modern 2.5" HDDs (your external hdd) are just below 500ma in power which is why it works.
I'll try with my Aluratek dvd writer later. It has a Y cable so may need more than 500mA.

My Samsung DVD drive is powered from a single USB cable (no y splitter for extra power). So I'm guessing the micro USB port isn't even outputting 500mA. It worked fine on the Samsung Atom tablet and I doubt that USB port was outputting more than 500mA.
Guys i have this tablet for about 3 years now and now i face a problem, the tab do not charge anymore and does nothing, not even the orange light of low battery, he does give light of charging, but no life, is this a battery problem? Even if battery is dead shouldnt give life with the charging cable and turn on?
Hello guys I need your kind help on the following questions
1- I bought an otg cable and found that it keeps disconnecting a lot, like when I connect a usb hard drive, or mouse, or xbox controller it keep every now and then disconnecting,
2- the sound volume is really low , especially when I play music
3- is there a software that can tell me about lenovo driver or software updates
4- when i press the power buttom to turn off the display youtube disconnects, i was wondering if i can play youtube while display is off, as I like to listen to youtube sometimes and don't care about the screen to be on
kindly please tell me in detail as I am still new to windows tablets especially drivers and software
i was wondering also is there a special forum for win8.1 tablets that is good for getting help
Mouse should be fine, but an xbox 360 controller is rated at 400mA of current draw officially and hard disks regularly peak at 500mA or more, the miix is only rated for 100mA on its USB. You need a mains powered USB hub inbetween tablet and device if you are going to use big power hungry devices like that, or one of those USB cables with split data and power connections and put the power connection to a mains adaptor or battery pack (you can buy battery packs with USB ports for charging phones).
Sound I have no idea.
Does the normal windows update facility not serve your needs? Just check back every few days.
Pressing the power button depending on power plan is putting your device to sleep or hibernate, all CPU activity is suspended in both of these modes.

I haven't seen an OTG cable with it integrated, but there is no reason why you couldnt use this with your existing OTG cable:
http://www.newtech.cat/w/en/1473-USB-2-0-Cable-Double-Power-Injector--2xAM-AH--1-2m.html
On this cable there is 1 USB socket and 2 USB plugs. The black plug is a normal USB data connection which would normally plug into a laptop or something, you would simply stick that in the OTG cable, the white plug is wired for power only, this would go into anything capable of supplying 5v in a normal USB connector whether that be one of the wall adaptors supplied for charging phones or something like this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Digital-Additions®-Battery-Extender-Batteries/dp/B002PHC1XU
