yesterday i succeeded with connecting the gnote to my car stereo via usb,
using the following instructions
usb debugging mode off
while Idle then I go to usb utilities and press connect to storage pc
then I connect the usb cable
yesterday it worked fine, although i was bummed it did not read the music on the external sd card, just the music that is stored on the 16 Gb built in sd card, what a bummer.
BUT today i could not connect it and my car stereo gave me usb N/A
i tired to connect my experia play and my iphone and both worked and connected immediately via usb to my car stereo withut any hassles, by the way I faced the same problem with Galaxy S2.
what is wrong here, and why only do i face that with the note and S2.
I also noticed 2 days ago that every time i connect my phone to the computer and usb debugging mode is on after i disconnect the drives from the computer and then press disconnect from my phone the phone turns off. I did a hard reset hoping it would solve the problem and also formatted my external sd card to fat 32 but still no solution. I have installed kies on my laptop and it identifies the note successfully. Why does the note keep turning off when I disconnect it from my laptop or computer
I really need to solve this as I depend on listening to music in my car using the usb cable as listening to the music directly from the note via 3.5mm cable is really bad on my stereo compared to using the note as storage card.
I was so put down when I compared the same song being played from xperia play with the gnote using poweramp with the same settings, as the sound coming from the xperia play was good compared to the note which was awful. In this comparison both phones where connected via 3.5mm cable to the car stereo, so I have no choice now to only listen to music using the note as a storage card by connecting it to the car stereo via usb cable
this is when I miss the iphone when everything works out of the box, and I don't have to struggle like this
Please help me in solving this as its driving me crazy

Hi,
I have a audio system with integrated carkit (Renault) with Bluetooth support and a USB connector.
The HD2 connects via Bluetooth, but I usually use the USB port so the phone will be charged during driving.
However, when the USB port is used, I can only select 'Fast disk access' because the carkit doesn't run ActiveSync.
At that point, I cannot access the storage card anymore, where all my music is stored, and that's the problem because I would like to use my phone as an MP3 player.
Is there a way to use the USB port and still make the music on the storage card available on my audio system?
Any suggestions appreciated,
M.
HD2 on BMW 3 series USB port
My HD2 is working with BMW 3 series USB port. I can see the SD card and play music, but I cannot connect the HD2 to the bluetooth.
(My HTC Diamond was not working either, but all my old SE phones were fine.)
Hi Everyone,
I appreciate the great work developers have been putting in exploring the hidden capabilities of Nook.
I am struggling with USB host now. Here is my situation:
I have a pair of Logitech USB speakers (Please google, Logitech audio Hub, since I am not allowed yet to post direct links).
These use external power and were originally being used with my notebook connecting via USB.
Now, since I do not use my laptop any more and use only NOOK, I am interested in using them with Nook.
I am currently running Nook with CM-7.1.0-RC1-encore. Is it possible to use these speakers? I read a thread about USB host and some people have mentioned using USB audio but I am not sure if they are using powered ones and I am concerned whether connecting a powered speaker may fry the USB port.
Any thoughts, experience, ideas would be appreciated.
Update to a recent nightly. There have been so many updates for USB there is no point in trying to troubleshoot the RC.
Sure, I will update to that. Any other directions to get the USB speakers working?
I read your post and decided to try it. I do not have the speakers you mentioned but do have a set of insignia usb powered speakers.
I turned on host mode and connected the speakers to the nook. Tried 3 different games and had the same results. The speakers will power up and receive a signal from the nook. They work for about 20-25 seconds then lose the signal from the nook . I have to reset host mode to reenable them.
At this time, I would recommend using powered speakers through the headphone jack or a headset. Not sure what's going on through host mode but it had me worried when I had to reset host mode 3 times.
I'll run a logcat to see what's going on in the system but it looks like a no-go for the present. I get excellent results from powered speakers through the headphone jack. Just a thought and I'll get back to you with the results of the logcat.

Thanks a lot Moshe5368 for your response. The problem I have is that these speakers do not have 3.5 MM input and USB connection is the only possibility.
Though they are really nice speakers, I guess if this doesn't work then its time to just order another pair of speakers.
I have just ordered the USB converter today (from Micro USB to USB-F) and have not tried it with the speakers I own yet. Will test that and revert back on what I find.
BTW, the speakers I have are powered with regular power (USB connection is just for Audio signal). Do you suggest I try them? Any chance they could fry the Nook's USB port?
It is a possibility that that type speaker would work. My logcat showed (if I read it right) that since the speakers were drawing their power from the usb port (even through the usb powered hub) I exceeded the power available through the micro USB port on the nook.
I was not sure what to expect but thought that might be the case. I have a set of powered speakers from jwin that plug into the headphone jack and perform perfectly.
Let me know what your results are.

Sure. I will keep you posted as soon my adapter arives.
Hey. So for the past few months, I've been able to connect my phone as a "usb thumb drive" to my car audio and play/control music directly through the headset. For some reason, over the past few days, whenever I connect my phone, the car will recognize the USB, connect, show a song playing, and then disconnect within seconds. And then my car is just waiting for a USB to be plugged in.
Have any of you had a similar issue or know what I can do to fix it?
BTW, my phone is currently fully stock, replacement phone from Sprint.
You have a firm usb connection? Also you enabled mount as usb on the phone?
I suggest putting some songs on a real USB flash drive, and see if the same thing happens. This way, you can help narrow down the problem to either your EVO or your car audio unit.
Another thing to consider is if you added any new files to your SD Card since it stopped working. Embedded devices with USB mass storage support can be pretty buggy, and its software can choke if it encounters a particular file that it doesn't know how to deal with.
This a rather specific issue, but none of the forums for my car were able to give me an answer. I drive a 2013 Hyundai Sonata GLS.
So I just recently switched from iPhone to Android, and I have been having a **** of a time getting the phone to connect to the car via the USB port in my 2013 GLS. With my iPhone, it was as simple as plug n play...not so much with the Android (it's a Verizon LG G2, for what it's worth), as every time I plug in the USB cable, I get "Connection Error" on the screen, and then it just switches back to whatever audio mode I was in before.
I know the USB port actually says "iPod" underneath it specifically, but the owner's manual vaguely hints at a universal USB music mode...I've gone through the menus and tinkered with some of the options, but am unable to find a solution. I really do not want to use Bluetooth. I will buy a car charger and aux cable and just have two connections if need be, but I gotta believe there's a way to have a non-iOS device hooked up through the USB port and be able to play music through it. I don't even need metadata to show up on the screen, just a simple connection would do it!
I am running AOKP 4.4.2. This issue persists even with MTP USB mode activated.
Hi, is there a way to make the note three's storage and xd card appear like a USB key to my cars stock stereo? currently when I plug a USB key into the stock stereo it recognizes the music I have on it. When in plug the note three in via a cable it does not recognize it. It would way more handy to have my music on one device rather than duplicated on the note 3 and a separate usb key.
Thanks in advance!
