There was a project for UMS on various Samsung devices, that worked up until the S3 and Note 2, I think, but it hasn't been updated in two years. There's been hundreds of comments on the thread though it looks like the OP hasn't responded in two years. The project is likely dead at this point. He was last online in May, but I sent him a PM regarding the project to see if he plans to continue it, or if he can supply the source so someone else can. Either way. would anyone be willing to look into getting UMS working on the S5 (or any device, for that matter)? I ask because I bought a Kenwood car stereo a few months ago and it doesn't work with MTP (why, I don't know, stupid design flaw). I have a 128 GB SD card in my phone and it almost seems like a waste.

Dear All,
I know this has been asked countless times already, but I was wondering if the Samsung S3 USB connection kit would work with the N10.
I've seen the OTG cables and seemingly these work without a problem, but I find the cable to be a bit sloppy visually
and would like something a bit more discrete.
(edit)
I'm unable to post outside links on account of being a new member and all.
But If you put: "Mobile Fun Connection Kit for Samsung Galaxy S3 / Note 2" in google images it'll be the first ones to pop up.
There's a demo vid on youtube as well.
It seems to work great for the S3 and I don't see a reason why it would not work with the N10, but I wanted to be sure before actually purchasing.
ps. this was my first post so if I put it in the wrong forum or whatnot, Mods please do correct me.
Many thanks in advance,
K!P
That doesn't look discreet at all.
I don't see why it wouldn't work, but why not spend $1 on an OTG cable and have access to all the same features?

err yeah! as blueback said, thats not descreet!
It will work as the micro sd card reader i made for my nexus 10 also works in my friends s3. There are better things out there though
Great,
Many thanks for the reply guys.
Indeed, discrete may not be the right word.
But I find it looks a bit cleaner.
I just find a loose cable a bit sloppy, hanging to the side.
This just goes a bit more with the lines of the device and plus it has the micro SD etc.
Me thinx me shall order this.
I'm actually still waiting for my N10 to arrive.
Paid a hefty premium on Ebay and still have to wait 2 weeks for delivery.
Thanks again for the input guys.
Much appreciated.
K!P
Disclaimer: I have no vested interest in you buying one of these.
I just got one of these about two weeks ago. So far, so good especially given the low price. The only serious downside is the battery is on the small side but unless you must watch streaming video for hours at a time, probably not going to be an issue. Screen is very as is the ability to have SD, hdmi and a usb port that actually works. It only has ICS on it and I think the build date is jan 25. But my best guess from trying to decipher the chinese or korean Hyundai website is that they will have a JB update after the official release at MWC. Device also appears to be built by Samsung but not 100% certain on that. If you want a lot more details about it (way more than would be appropriate) here http://www.gedankenexperiment.dk/pivot/entry.php?id=865&w=rant

I just bought a Hyundai T7s via an Amazon reseller in the UK, and it too works very well indeed. It's hard to believe it's so much cheaper than a Nexus 7 and yet has USB on the go and so on working right out of the box, not to mention a micro sd card slot etc. The only pain so far is the dedicated charger - it's a shame it doesn't charge via micro usb. Exynos Abuse root method works perfectly which is great.

Apparently charging by USB is possible but has to do with the current provided. Check the T7 thread at slatedroid.
Huyndai is one of the best companies worldwide.

Hi guys. So I'm considering buying a Wileyfox Storm because of the price/value ratio.
There's not much information that can be found about the phone regarding it's OTG support on the internet. Some comparison sites imply NOT, and other sites have something cryptic like USB OTG (TBC). LIKE WHAT?! For that matter, there's not that much info and support for the device at all, nevermind any nongeneric cases or covers.
Anyway since I couldn't find a definite answer, I wanted to ask the actual owners of the Storm if their device supports OTG if they've ever tried it. And if you haven't ever tried testing it, would you mind doing so?
Thanks guys!
I installed USB OTG Checker which showed my Storm has the USB OTG API. However I can't test for USB OTG Kernel or Driver Signal as I don't have a USB OTG cable or adapter at the moment. Hoping to borrow one or buy one in the next few days. Will let you know the outcome.
Regards.
Brian
I received my £0.99 OTG USB adaptor in the post from an eBay seller today and it works. With ES File Explorer or Solid Explorer it shows the contents of my memory stick and I can read text files, etc.
So the answer to your question is yes the Storm does support OTG.

Hi Brian,
That's fantastic! I really can't thank you enough for taking the effort of experimenting the OTG feature on the Storm :good:.
If you don't mind I'd also like to know your thoughts on the device and if you'd recommend it. From what I've understood is that the battery is probably the biggest disadvantage in the phone, but how ''bad'' is it actually? How often do you have to charge your phone under a certain usage?
And also I don't know if you use it for gaming, but if you have done so, does it perform decently?
Thanks mate!

I've had my Storm since Christmas and I am generally pleased with it these days. The last OTA update made a big difference to the reliable operation of mine after a bit of a wobbly start but I have read that others have had a few hardware problems along the way. I don't know if it is still the case but I haven't seen any new complaints recently. If you are going to buy SIM free I would play safe and get one from somewhere like Amazon who have good returns policy if you do happen to get a "lemon".
My previous phone was a gen 1 Moto G running Cyanogenmod and battery life with my Storm is equally good but then I am a very light user and I can get about 2 days out of a full charge. However if I run Google Maps for my daily commute the battery goes down quite quickly which I suppose is due to that big display being on all the time but probably no worse than my Moto G was. The Storm is quite responsive but I've never used it for gaming so you wll have to ask others about this on this forum. The Cyanogen Mod forum is also worth reading through:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/forum/1212-wileyfox-storm-kipper/
I'm very pleased with mine for what I need it to do but like others are saying we do need a decent case for it.
Hope this helps.

That was pretty helpful thanks. I'm stuck in a dilemma now. It's either going to be the Storm or the OnePlus X (roughly the same price).
The OP X does rock the more powerful Snapdragon 801, however the bigger screen, front facing camera flash and 32 GB of internal storage on the Storm seem to be dragging me towards it immensely.
Also the OP X has loads of support and threads going for it while the Storm seems to be nearly dead on the internet.
Which would you honestly get if you were phoneless and had to choose one of the two?
It is early days for the Storm but Wileyfox the company seem to be more intent on pushing the brand and new sales rather than nurtering and building up a strong reputation. In theory Wileyfox being UK based should have the better customer service but many people haven't found this.
The OP X has as you say a strong following and seems a better phone than it's earlier models with a more straight forward means of purchasing it these days. I like Cyanogen having used it for many years on several mobiles but I don't know much about Oxygen OS on the OP X? OP phones have been on the market longer, hence have sold more phones and consequently there will be more information on the internet. I think they have had their share of hardware problems in the past but perhaps this is the risk you take with good value mobiles like these.
One of the things at the top of my list was what to do in the event of a hardware problem and I thought with a few retails here in the UK and Amazon stocking the Storm it might be a safer bet and I have read on here about people returning their phones to Amazon at least once. When I bought my Storm at Christmas I was also looking at the LG G3 (i think it was that one) which was on special offer but went for the Storm mainly from the reviews I'd read. Although I am perfectly happy with the Storm reading other posts on here makes me wonder at the longevity of the Storm but this is probably the case with the OP X too. Only time will tell.
I wouldn't want to advise on which one to choose but perhaps make a list comparing the things important to you and then follow your heart. At least that way if you are unfortunate enough to have problems you will know that you made the best decision at the time.
Good luck.
Brian
Hello again XDA! I'm an old has-been on here that used to be big into flashing custom roms on forgotten devices, but a wife, career, and two kids put me on the "just work dammit" path for some time. I now have a 7 year old that's been using an LG tablet I got duped into buying from US Cellular (don't ask...I don't wanna rant). Dumb thing's got 16Gb ram and it's ALWAYS full. So my mom offered her old Sammy Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 (SM-T530NU) for him or my daughter to us a while back and I picked it up today. I tried to sign my son in and come to find out that the sammy is surprisingly still on Android 5 and doesn't support Google family link . I'm looking for a ROM...or something I can do to make this thing support the family link min specs, let me use an SD card instead of internal memory (since this also only has 16 GB), and still has full use of Bluetooth, cameras, mic, and Netflix/etc.
Is there ANYTHING I can "upgrade' to that would fit all this?
Just look here on this section. Before asking, look better and you will see lineage 16 and lightningfastrom 17.1. I advice you the first one.
I know it's been a couple years since anyone's worked on these (Messi? Travisholt?)
Due to my own FUBAR I've got no cell device at all, until MP450 (Stylo Plus) arrives. Because disability, I GOT to have 4 rows on my keyboard...
This has already been an expensive FUBAR, hopefully replaceable battery means I'll never have to "Suddenly" buy another phone.
When it gets here, I'll need to at least "De-Bloat" - secure it from Carrier Spy-ware etc.
Does anyone still have "The Tools for this Device" on their hard drive? It'll be next week when it gets here
Sincere Thanks
VW
I'm considering updating a few things. Probably not 64bit though
