USB 2.0

The specification of the HTC X7500 says USB 2.0 for the ExtUSB port (the slave port for the mini-USB connector).
So it should be theoretically possible to write to the MiniSD or MicroDrive with USB 2.0 hi-speed, using a PC and the cable.
Now.... anyone know how? ActiveSync and Windows Mobile Device Center seem to be limited to USB 1.1-speed and I don't think apps like WM5torage or Card Export Pro II will do the job.............. will they?

Use WM5torage for transferring big files. You get the USB 2 speed.

Are you sure ? In the notes it says "(albeit USB 1.0 only, and not very fast)". Has anyone tested actual transferrates ?

It's has to be faster than USB 1.1. I copied two 700 MB movies to the MicroDrive, and that would certainly take forever with USB 1.1...

I don't believe it is - this site is normally accurate:

Well, still: With USB 1.1 copying 1.4 GB would take ALOT of time. It didn't, so it has to be faster.

when plugged into a usb 1 socket windows pops up the "this device can perform faster if you connect it to a USB2"..

if i remember correctly, Ameo has some problem transferring large file to Micro Drive, and also it seems rather slow to transfer as well

Does that go for the Advantage too?
I tried copying files using ActiveSync, but it was terribly slow (and it seemed like it started over and over). However; WM5torage is excellent!

if you are copying a large file and it keep failing, then that is something wrong, for me DOPOD U1000, all my file are copy correctly and the same speed with wm5torage too.

Sorry, this is from the old times, when there were no high-speed USB 2.0 capable devices out there
I will correct it now
Actually, WM5torage supported high-speed USB from the version 1.0

Right. Then I have a problem. It worked the first time I copied some large files, but after that it just takes for ever...
Any idea what's going on?

just to clear one thing up....the standard USB port is 2.0
However according to HTC's own Spec sheet, the USB host facility through the 4 in 1 cable is 1.1
but yes, WM5torage is certainly quicker at transferring large files to the microdrive.
I get the same problem when sending large files with activesync. never had it until 4.5 was put on My PC. but then I thought that was a known bug with the crap that is activesync!

Usb host on Acer s200

It s a little strange but seems like no one in this forum tried to connect usb devices to our phone since zeno usb host driver has been released.I tried to search in google but no one tried in acer s200...Are there anyone that know if it work before i try it by myself?

I've tried it
HI, i have tried it with a 1gb, 2gb, 4gb, usb flash storage. But it seems not to work. It don't shows me another device in the explorer (win explorer or resco explorer)
Maybe someone have tried it succesfully?

external power is required, see usb-host scheme by dcordes... keep in mind, however, that hd2's got a micro-usb connector

Hi tsamolotoff,
the usb host work properly:

Yes i built a usb cable with external power supply.I ve made a cable that supply 5v to the device i want to attach to the s200,but only the two data lines go to the phone.But this afternoon i ve read a german forum and someone said that in some cases (nokia) the usb host cable must supply 5v even to the pocket pc,and i want to try by this way.Stefano wich cable have you made to get the s200 found the usb mouse and the pen drive in linux kernel?Do you think that with zeno drivers we can use the usb host even in windows?

Stefano_1986_
Interesting, however, it'd more exciting if it worked under wince (did you check?)

I have checked but not working

ok almost like mine.This morning with this cable and zeno drivers i ve noticed that if you connect a device like a pen drive,the screen turn on backlight,and it s not for the fact that i attached the cable with 5v,the tension is always present in the usb cable.So maybe the hardware feel the new device but have not the correct drivers to control

What is the solution I have the same problem

so all, what's the solution then? if I want to conect my F1 to a CF card reader? how to use external power...

It doesn t work under windows mobile...This is the solution.
It only work via linux kernel (tested a mouse a keyboard and a usb drive),but since no android build is avaible for s200 you can t use it.
So usb host is supported by s200 hardware,but it s locked in windows mobile kernel and can t be changed.this is a really great stupid thing i know...but sadly it s the true
Guru correct me if i writed something wrong

maybe it can work now, coz Android can be loaded in S200...
I just think if my S200 can read the photos from CF card reader...

yes sure we can make it work under linud distros or android as proved by stefano some month ago

[Q] Android USB Host :)

Android USB Host
Actually, wanted to know if USB Host mode could be enabled in Android or not...
Before few months, it was on devlopment... but no new news

Do you mean for USB file transfers? Yes it works perfectly fine now on current builds (well, every build I've tried over the last few weeks anyway)

I think he rather means the ability to plug on the hd2 a mouse, keyboard or usb key

Just says 'needs testing'.

No. The microUSB port of your HD2 is not sending electricity to your mouse/keyboard (external power source needed).
You can't fix this by software.
Maybe once Teksoft get there Blueinput working on the HD2, you will be able to connect a standard 2.4ghz bluetooth mouse on WinMo/Android.

Thnx buddies... proud of being HD2 owner

yeah... i mean USB Host... the way usb devices could be connected to our HD2

[Q] internet sharing

i have bluetooth in my laptop and i also have data cable, so i can go with both whichever u suggest.

bluetooth via WMDC/ActiveSync is good option.
if on a usb cable you might as well just use the laptop !

Energy Supply by Usb hosting and Micro-Usb to HDMI Cable

Hi! I know there are several kernels that enables usb hosting on our Galaxy S, [I'm using last Semaphore right now], my question here is: Does exist any way to supply energy directly to the usb device from our terminal? I have the proper cable to connect them [atm I don't remember the name of it], so I thought "There is an exchange of energy trought the usb entrance in our phone, so why we couldn't use it not just as input, but as output too?" Let me know it, and thanks in advance

Because you can either have power or data transfer, not both, due too pin arrangement, external power is needed unfortunately

Thanks for answering! But let me understand, when usb mass storage is connected, is there not both transferring of data and power supply? Why would be different with usb hosting?

Up!

my bad actually, was thinking of situation when you have fast charge enabled....fact remains you need external power supply..Google it, plenty of info out there

I understand.. Well I googled it, but just couldn't find the reason. I guess it's like you said, just a hardware matter. Thank you!
Just a last thing, as we're here. What about the micro-usb to hdmi adapter? Is there the same problem or it will work?

Yes! Very thanks, let's hope so. At least I've given 5 free euros and not 15 to Amazon xD
When I'll test it, I'll post the result :good:

UPDATE: Apparently, neither the hdmi output cable works on i9000. I looked around, and I discovered the reason why it doesn't work is about mhl drivers. They need to be compile inside the kernel, and no one seems to have done it yet. Ufortunately, 2 on 2 failed. Damn and thanks either :good:

Up! Anyone could implement those drivers in a kernel? I can donate for that too! Come on!
