USB Web Camera on HD2 Android?!? - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Does HD2 on OS Android can be used like webcam, over USB!!!

not yet cause usb-host is only supported on ubuntu.
but if the drivers would work you always need a power source like a self powerd usb hub

USB Host

Does anyone know of a usb host driver that enables usb host on the X1? Another user reported that the Zeno usb host drivers did not work. Any one tried others with success?
it has been discussed here somewere, and the last thing was all agreed it doesn't have a USB Host!
i hope it's not true, only time will let us know!
Uh... Well... I understand what you are asking for, but I don't know what you want to do with it... What would be the need for a USB host function on a mobile phone

Let's say you have some files on a thumb drive and wanna work on them (.doc , .xls...etc) but you don't have a laptop with you.
Or..Some images on an external HDD you wanna send via email, but no laptop with you...
Or..Show off to your iSheep friends that you can connect usb mouse and keyboard to use on your x1..
Get images off of your digi cam....etc etc
How about pluging in a usb joypad for gaming??
Endless possibilities.
I've recently seen some universal WinMo USB host drivers but the problem with X1 supposedly is that it doesn't power the USB port itself so you might need to power it externally. Dunno if it would really work though.
But you still need a pen drive or ext. hd with mini USB right?

Does the amazon actually work on the X1?
Peeps, i have been thinking about this problem for awhile now. Check this thread, there is a link to a site with drivers that should work,

Xperia doesn't have a powered usb. So, the only two ways to get something working are to either connect something with its own power supply, or to use a usb injector. Sadly the first option defeats the whole point of connecting a flash or a mouse and the latter one, well, i haven't had any luck with a suitable injector for the x1.
Good luck.

NO, not unless we have a driver for USB host for X1
And as above posts stats, power to the USB.

USB Host once again!

Hi all!
Now I know that there was a thread regarding the presumed USB Host functionality on the HD2, but that thread seems to be like dead... But now since the finished product has finally landed, I think we should start thinking about it again. Now we all know that the USB Host feature isnt listed officially, but there are rumours flying around suggesting that the feature is available in the HD2's chipset, which means that maybe there is a way to develop drivers for it or something. I remember one of the old HTC devices, which turned out to have USB Hos capabilities which were discovered by the community years after the device sowed up on the market So, in other words, if a possibility of activating this feature exists, souldn't the community start to at least investigate it? That is only my suggestion
Think you are talking about this thread?
Toshiba TG01 has the same Snapdragon platform and provides USB host capabilities. So I am pretty sure will have usb host too or at least some clever guys can extract it from the Toshiba.

if it will work, some people can shut up about second camera, they can buy webcam and connect it

No, you still require the driver to get it working which probably won't exist. My Eten M600 works with mouse, keyboard, hub, harddrive so far.
20mihalko & xmoo, can any of you test TMC on iGo8? I asked in both of your thread but didn't get a reply. It's one of the deal breaker for me to give up the X1

Hi guys,
I'm coming back with the same question in this thread, do Leo have an usb host or maybe like written before we can make it live with specific drivers like the Diamond ?
Thanks for testing
I'm still waiting for mine (the 23rd I presume)
Kindest Regards

Do you think it will be possible to find the toshiba tg01 drivers for usb host and inlude it to the hd2 device? For what should I have to search on my tg01 and where? Maby the drivers will also work on the hd2?
Hi,
Maybe you have an install cd with your tg01 where you can fing usb host drivers ?

I have read that someone disassembled the HD2 and found out that the USB-Chips (Including HOST feature) of the Toshiba and the HD2 are the same, BUT the HOST-Pins arent connected

[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

I saw a video recently showing an android device running in hostmode which was connected up to a hub with memory sticks, usb to dvi adapters, keyboards, etc....
Cant for the life of me find it again but it can be done apparently. No idea how the guy managed it but he did.

The drivers are embedded in the linux kernel or part of your software.

unfortunately it's trail and error, plug it into the mojo and and hope it works.
The usb speakers (I think) act like a sound card, I think jellybean has very limit support.. ie no USB mic support on webcams
Maybe google android + speakers see if newer versions support it, if so CM12 *might* support it
