Often I use shift usb hub only in usb mode.
today wanted to connect to my shift's hub an ethernet cable. and surprise...
it don't work.. no light blink, no changes on my system.
rebooted shift with the hub attached and it don't work anymore.
Watched trough bios settings but theres no menu about it.
What i must do? install drivers or try some setting in vista side?
attached hub to another laptop/desktop but asked to me drivers..
someone can help me?
I had same problem with usb hub - usb was ok, but ethernet doesn't works.
Look to the device managed, if Windows recognized the ethernet via usb. I had an icon with exclamation mark. After complain and replacing everything is ok.
The drivers are here:

thanks
many thanks for the help.
i did nothing, today attached the hub and macically worked.
Don't know why.. sometimes this shift is very strange..
also wifi, sd, sometimes disappear and macically them come to work.
Boh.
Thank a lot
Shift Happens!!! Smiles
No, really, if you are still using Vista on the Shift, you have to be VERY patient on startup and let it fully complete (can take 10 mins from cold start!!) before you can start to see your network connections correctly and start to use it fully. Thats why HTC have given us 'standby' as the switch off default.
Its not much faster than most of the latest phones in CPU speed and Vista is prob the most CPU intensive.
Hi,
I am attempting to connect a bespoke USB device to the athena.
The bespoke device is recognised as both a mass storage device and keyboard in windows XP.
But when plugged into the Athena, the red charging light turns on. But it doesn't appear in file explorer.
One time (though I havn't been able to reproduce it), a dialog box poped up asking me if I wished to format a device. The bespoke device uses FAT12, does anyone know if Windows mobile even supports FAT12?
Also, is there "add-remove hardware" type funtionality in windows mobile? Should I have to reboot each time or should new hardware be picked up straight away?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
How is it connected - through the built-in usb port or through the 4-in-1 cable?
I'm using the 4-in-1 cable.
One interesting thing, if I reboot it with it plugged in. It hangs for a little while on the windows mobile splash screen. Then if I press the power button once and then again to turn the screen back on. For a few seconds a "Hard drive" is in explorer.
The bespoke device also is detected as HID device and a number of other USB devices (but using only built in Microsoft drivers) when plugged into a PC (i'm in contact with the hardware vendor to geta concise list). So my other theory is that it hangs trying to find the other drivers (if FAT 12 is supported at all).
Ok, I started wondering when you said the red charge light came on. I was wondering if you were plugging it into the sync/charge port and somehow the device was backfeeding some energy, tricking the device to go into charge mode.
I think you are on the right track. Windows Mobile has few built-in drivers, so the delay probably is due to a search for non-existent drivers. If the manufacturer doesn't have WM drivers, you might try looking at other manufactuers with similar devices that do have WM drivers and try them. Others here have gotten peripherals to work that way.
I just found this page which discusses the file system used by WM. I haven't read the links on that page yet.

I just got a new phone from a friend.
Under the battery:
hera 100
On the battery:
hera 160
IPL 4.14.0002
SPL 4.14.0000
System -> Info:
Windows Mobile 6 Professional
CE OS 5.2.1236 (Build 17741.0.2.1)
My operating system:
Windows XP SP3
Charging the phone works fine. But I am not able to establish the USB connection. I don't see the phone in the "save removal" box from Windows XP and I guess therefore I am also unable to get an connection using ActiveSync.
I did already toggle the checkbox in "USB to PC" on the phone.
I do not know whether the USB cable is the original one or not. And I am out of ideas... Can it be the "wrong" USB cable?
Do you have any suggestions how I can get the date connection working?
Here is a way to tell if the phone is recognizing that it's hooked up via USB:
Plug in the USB to the phone.
Hold the camera button in.
Keep holding the camera button in while pressing the soft reset button.
Still hold the camera button until you see a screen that is Red/Green/Blue/White.
You should see the word 'USB' in the lower left hand corner.
If you see this then you are hooked up.
You can still flash Custom made ROMs by this method too.
Small ps to my first post:
I've already tried a hardreset with no effect.
-----------------------------------------------------
Yes, I can see USB there.
Very strange because I still can't see USB in Windows.
Will also flashing HardSPL work over this buggy connection without any problems?
Is it likely that the USB connection works after the ROM update? Or how can I fix the USB connection?
No, go ahead and run the RomUpdateUtility while in this R/B/G/W screen.
Hi,
I am having a hard time trying to get a couple of USB devices to work properly on my headunit. One is a USB CarPlay dongle, and the other is an OTA tv tuner. Both USB devices get recognized by the headunit, however in the case of the first, it never gets passed a connection state where the dongle starts talking to the application. In case of the second, the OTA never finds TV stations after doing a complete scan.
USB devices like keyboards, mice, USB flash drives, even a webcam work fine. I contacted the manufacturer and they said they only support USB synchronous which may be the reason these devices can't work properly.
The unit is an Eonon GA7157 with the Allwinner R16 1.6GHz Cortex A7 Quad-Core CPU.
Questions:
Is it possible this is a valid claim?
My unit is rooted, can USB asynchronous be enabled via software?
I was also thinking this could be an OTG wiring issue, what do you think? I say so because the only way I could get the CarPlay dongle to work on my Samsung Tablet A, was with an OTG cable. A straight connector presented the same symptoms.
I am not too experienced with Android, so please be gentle
He was feeding you a load of horse manure.
Either that, or he meant something entirely different by "USB synchronous".
Precisely what do you mean by "get recognized by the headunit"?
What exactly *are* these two devices you are trying to use?
What *drivers* do they use?
Have you confirmed that the kernel is enumerating the devices?
Have you confirmed that the kernel is binding the proper drivers to them?
Have you confirmed that Android knows how to deal with the interfaces that the drivers are providing for these devices?
Have you confirmed that the interface permissions are such that a user application will be able to access it?
An OTG cable does two things;
1) It reverses the gender of the connector,
2) It sends a signal to the phone/tablet/whatever that it should switch its USB port from slave mode to host mode.
Nothing else.
Thanks for the tips. By recognize I mean that Android prompts me to confirm opening the accompanying apps when I plug in these devices to the USB port. E.g. I plug in the CarPlay dongle, Android prompts: do you want use Zbox (App) every time you use this device (Cancel or OK); I press OK and then the App stays in trying to connect mode forever.
The manufacturer has locked down USB debugging. Do you know of any apps (rooted or not) that will give me the information you pointed out?
thanks
It is unlikely that USB debugging is "locked down". More likely, its just because your USB device port is stuck perpetually in "host" mode on the wrong side of a USB hub, and therefore you can't connect to it. Try connecting to adb over IP instead.
I've never heard of any USB device on Android causing any kind of popup. That is very strange. Is it possible that the popup is being created by the program, i.e. "zbox"? Its possible that the system is sending a broadcast upon device enumeration, but the device access permissions are either wrong, or the kernel doesn't have the proper driver available.

Thanks again. I am including some pictures that may help explain the problem a little better. As far as the passcode, from what I can tell this unit has 3. One for the Advanced Car Settings, Developer Settings, and USB Debugging. The first 2 I found on another forum and are 123456 and the other 7890. The USB Debugging is an alphanumeric string which I haven't found anywhere, and the manufacturer refuses to release it. When I toggle the USB debugging on, I get prompted to input the passcode. I have tried a few codes but no go, the USB debugging switch goes back to the off position.
The other pictures show the USB port capabilities of the headunit. The unit has 3 USB ports: one is taken by the WiFi module, the other by a dashcam, and the remaining one is open and where I plugged in the CarPlay dongle. There is also another picture of the USB CarPlay dongle device plugged in and listed as Mass Storage Gadget. The dongle does have internal storage of a few MBs.
Finally, I include a picture of the application Zbox. This is the latest version and it starts automatically when I plug in the USB CarPlay dongle.
Well, I made some progress with the password for the USB debugging switch. To summarize:
Car Settings: 123456
Developer Options: 7890
USB Debugging: [email protected]
Now I just need to figure out how to make the USB port work properly. Any ideas? I have USB debugging access and the device is rooted.
Well according to your second-last picture, the device is being detected as UMS (Usb Mass Storage). I.e., like a usb flash disk.
VIDID of 0x0525:0xA4A5 looks to be an e-ink tablet called "Pocketbook Pro 903".
The problem may be that your "carplay dongle" is masquerading as something it isn't.
Well, the VIDID could be the problem; however, this same CarPlay dongle works fine on 2 other Android devices; moreover, a USB OTA tuner behaves the same way, meaning it does not work on the headunit but does on remix and a tablet.
Well guys, this unit is going back to the seller. After playing with it and not getting anywhere with customization and customer service, it’s out the door.
I am getting an xtron octacore px5 unit. It looks like these head units have better developer support.
Do you have the English version of 3.0 you can post?

According to Google Translate:
1. Optimize U disk upgrade USB recognition rate is higher
2. Optimize the phone connection, mobile phone recognition rate is better

My new Xtrons recognizes the Zbox dongle very quickly. I think it is now as quick as some of the dedicated Alpine and Pioneer units.
As far as software, crisper icons and bypassing the connection window would be nice option. It should only display when a problem occurs. One thing that is flimsy is the USB connector but no software upgrade will fix it. I am considering opening it up and soldering a better connector. Also, heat dissipation is an issue. It needs a heatsink. I may just add one when I crack it open.
I am looking forward to the next iteration with wireless CarPlay. Someday.

Yea the update definitely enhanced it a lot. I used to have a pioneer and it feels close to the same now.

Prior to 3.0.2, what firmware/software where you running?
Hey,
I have an MX10 Pro TV box with the latest android 9. I wanted to turn it into an Interenet and office home computer so I connected it to a screen and Lenovo external keyboard and mouse, and downloaded proper app.
At first everything was fine - mouse and keyboard worked, and than I disscovered the famous 'enter' key problem. I've tryied to solve it based on google: Installed external keyboard helper - didn't work well. I have changed key 28 from DPAD_CENTER to ENTER in generic.kl file - and since that my keyboard is dead.
The TV BOX don't Identify external physical keyboard is connected. I've Reset the box, changed the file back and reset it again - but nothing - the keyboard is dead. I can't turn on caps lock light or num lock light, the keyboard is dead and doesn't identified.
I've tried every USB port. I connected it to another computer to see its alive (it is...), I've connected the mouse to every USB port - it works. I've tried every USB option under developer tab - nothing changed.
I'm completly lost! not only I didn't solve the Enter key problem, my home computer seems completly broken.
PLEASE HELP!
