Normal usb2.0 plugged on DIAMOND 2

hi,
i am a new diamond 2 user and i want to ask if you can by any way or cable or adapter or something plug a normal usb2.0 like corsair voyager to my diamond 2 and be able to read the content with the phone.
if anyone knows how please tell me
thank you

No, it does not support USB Host...

Sadly, the various USB drivers floating around the site don't enable USB host function on our Diamond 2's!
However, this little gadget allows you to plug your USB key into the microSD slot. Am sorely tempted, but I can't decide if the price is worth it for the likely infrequency with which I'd be using it!

Pesky double post....

It looks tempting, but I wonder if the phone would provide enough power for a USB stick through its microSD slot?
Also, the sheer physical bulk would put a lot of strain on the tiny slot.
It also states "For mobile/cell phone, SmartPhone or PDA - any model with external microSD or SD socket.", and also states "N.B. Please ensure compatibility with your device." Not only contradictory, but how are you going to ensure compatibility before you buy?
We need a guinea pig to buy one

i don't care if it has cables or anything...i just want to read and write contents from usb. like the usb extenders for pcs something like that.
edit: no answers...that means that no one tried it , as i see it the main problem is the power the usb needs. if there is a solution to this please some one tell me!!!

I don't understand about electronics that much.. my field is medicine
My question is, can we build it?
Cheers.

Unfortunately that is not all we need. As far as I know, there is some additional circuitry in that little box.

That's definitely the case; I've read that MHL devices switch between MHL & USB modes based on the resistance across two pins on the 5-pin microUSB connector. So you'd need to duplicate that, and there's also some circuitry to convert the MHL video out signals to HDMI. SiliconImage makes a family of such chips.
Also, there's probably some magic involved in integrating the +5V from the microUSB charger input into the MHL connector, so as to keep the SGS2 charged while it's playing video. You'd at least want some current/voltage limiting circuitry to protect your expensive TV & phone from being zapped by a bad charger.

Here is a far more detailed description of the mhl adapter: http://www.wilder-tech.com/pdfs/Tektronix_MHL-TPA_User_Manual_Rev-A.pdf
:good:

MHL Cable is an active cable, meaning that there is an active circuit (Controller) within the cable, there are ways to home manufacture it, assuming that you have the required equipment and knowledge . but it just doesn't any sense. Unless you are doing it as a study case.

Kinda Fire teardown = possablities

Frankly I can't wait for someone to do a tear down to see what the exact hardware features and possibilities to mod the bajeebus out of the thing.
But this device is most likely a pass for me. Being as anything it can do, I can already do everything on my phone, netbook or laptop. There is a bonus however,the kindle touch 3g, has become a lot more affordable.

It would be awesome if the thing had an onboard microSD like the Nook Color does. Image it to a 32GB, swap them out and go.

iFixit posted a teardown here. Highlights:
-No hidden microSD. Sorry.
-what looks like a cast magnesium midframe. It should be pretty sturdy.
-WiFi module is identified as a TI WiLink WL1271 with bluetooth and FM support. This is the same chip as the Nook Color. Whether or not the BT or FM work is up to Amazon to have wired up to the right ports on the OMAP.

Bummer, oh well I'm still stoked to get mine tomorrow.

getting mine later today and am verrrry interested in the possibility of getting bt working.. after i root it and such, there any steps i should start with to see about getting it working?

Until there is a custom rom, there really isn't a way to tell since the Kindle OS won't let you even attempt to pair anything...since it wasn't meant to.

apologies! repeated link, hence removed.

[Q] MHL not working. Any ideas please?

Hi all,
My Note 3 is using the latest official UK firmware (although it's rooted) and the HDMI MHL feature refuses to work, and I suspect it may be the dock.
I bought this

Basically, I plug it all in, it says HDMI connected. I then switch to the HDMI source on my monitor, the phone then quickly says HDMI disconnected, then HDMI connected. However the monitor stays black/in HDMI saving mode.
I was sent a second one from the shop because the first one appeared faulty and the second doesn't work either. I've made a quick vid of my experiences...any ideas?

Shameless bump!

I don't know much about MHL, so I can't give you specifics, but I know there are 2 different pin configurations. The MHL cable I have came with a little tiny adapter for that, and the only way it works is if I plug the adapter into my phone, plug the MHL into the adapter, and plug power into the MHL. Maybe it's something similar?
Mine isn't Samsung, but this is basically what my cable looks like, with the adapter thing....

Cheers, yea I did wonder about that. It's one of these mass produced Chinese items so maybe the sellers have got it wrong and it's not Note 3 compatible at all! I've messaged them and I'll see what they say about it all. Cheers

Bump

I specifically bought a device that said it worked for this - pass through charging on usb-c with an output to usb-c (phone) and usb 3 ports. This did not work for me on a custom rom. This one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N0R1F1M/
I'll test it again with LineageOS 15.1 in the future but I wouldn't hold my breath. I was hoping it would work as well but unfortunately not so far. I do have another device I'll test just to be sure but this could be a hardware limitation.
