[Galaxy S II Accessories] apocalypter:
i have a more general question that i think people here might help me:

i have an micro usb 2 usb a female adapter like this one h**p://***.integritytechnology.net/Y5U/USB-OTG-Adapter-3.jpg for my galaxy s2 19100XXLPX. i can connect mass storage devices(usb sticks, hard drives) but hid devices(mouse keyboard) do not work. i've seen many people with similar problems but no solution.

is it a hardware or software problem? i've seen people whose adapter wasn't working at all, people who had the same problem as me and people whose adapter was working perfectly. are those all different adapters that just look the same? does it depend on the firmware or apps. and if it is soley depending on hardware is there a way to trick it anyway(since the hardware is just a marker for the phone to behave differently) ?

btw: i really prefer the adapter over the cable. i want to carry that in my pocket.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] boimb:
Thx mate. Worked for me.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Empel1960:
Hi,

You need to change the kernel to be able to use with hid devices, I've used siyah kernel and supercore 1.1 from Alliance ROM

Hope this will help you.

Regards,

Enrique

Wow if I had only seen this sooner it would have saved me a small penny on ebay
[Galaxy S II Accessories] someone755:
Okay, since I'm not very good at soldering, I want to make it easy and ask this:

Would USB OTG work if I took a standard USB to micro USB cable (to connect to a pc, charger etc.) and pair it with a female-female USB cable?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] joesnose:
Hi,

Can anyone confirm the value of the resistor needed to enable charging with OTG.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Dampierre:
Thank you, I just made my own OTG cable. Soldering the ground and the 4th pin was very hard to solder, but I managed to have usb otg cable.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] egymaro:
Wooow I just made mine and its awesome :D it took from mejust 30 minutes to do it

---------- Post added at 01:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 PM ----------

Noo it will not work, I have tried it.. soldering is the only way ..
[Galaxy S II Accessories] bongmaster:
Awesome thanks for that :3 works a charm
[Galaxy S II Accessories] leonardoaraujo:
thanks for the tutorial man, I did with the original cable and a front USB input taken from a old CPU was a bit difficult to join the two terminals of the micro USB (terminal s3), but with a soldering iron with pointed toes I got it, thanks!

:fingers-crossed:

Galaxy S3 (GT19300)...works fine!!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] someone755:
I wonder, would it work if I take a cheap Ebay/Amazon etc. cable that has the 4th pin disconnected and put a wire in there?

As in, take a small wire, bend it, place it inside the microUSB port so that it connects the 4th and 5th pin and... Well, would that work?

I'd try, but I destroyed my last cheap cable trying to solder the pins with a wire... -.-
[Galaxy S II Accessories] leonardoaraujo:
would not be difficult if you tried to weld pin 5 to 6, since it are on opposite sides on pin micro usb, despite the protection of metal and plastic, nothing a little patience and a good stylus to draw the glue to be welded in place, it is very easy to do ..:p
[Galaxy S II Accessories] someone755:
Wait, there are 6 pins? :eek:

I thought there were only 5... Or did you just typo?

So, I can't weld (don't have the tools or experience), and the cables I buy have more glue on them than plastic (or wire for that matter).

So everything requiring welding IS difficult for me...

I was just thinking of putting a small piece of metal in there so I don't have to open up the connector and weld or glue...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] leonardoaraujo:
ummm, I made a mistake while typing, sorry, but you can do even trying to paste, (since that's what you want to do), it would be easy to weld, which I meant that the pin 5.3 and 1, is a side of the connector, and pin 4 and pin 2, is on the other side, with plenty of room to weld it ...

I'm in GMT +8 and the time shows in wm and android has a gap of 8 hours.

Just like the time question in pc when using windows and linux&mac os at the same time.

How can i solve this in phone? Thanks~
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
I'm GMT -7, and my time never is different - I guess my WinMo ROM or service provider is updating the time...? That seems like the best solution. If you have cell service on the device, just make sure that the device receives time from your provider...

For me, this 'just works' - I didn't have to setup anything. I don't know why some do and others don't... but that's the solution. There's probably some atomic clock app for WinMo as well, but this really is a WinMo issue... and you're posting in the Android development section :p.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] xi.lin:
Thanks for your infomation, and i think i should try some rom from energy or jackos.

And if the post is not related in the section, you can delete it~
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] toadlife:
There is a good, free time sync app, here.

You can configure it to run at startup by creating the shortcut (using total commander) in the \Windows\Startup directory with the command line option "/silent"
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] jellenl:
For me setting the time-zone to GTM +0 (Casablanca) in android works. (with auto detect time via internet selected off).

btw, I'm from the Netherlands ;p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] xi.lin:
GMT+0 sometimes make some app odd in android~
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Tippfehler:
I have the same settings.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Entropy512:
Yup. Some WinMo ROMs autoupdate the time, some don't. EnergyROM doesn't seem to do so, making it update from network requires going through a bunch of menu items. It's a real pain...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
I've used EnergyROM ever since I got the TP2, always updated for me... Never changed any settings from the default - I've also flashed many different versions of Energy. Before I preferred the look/feel of Sense, but anymore I just use WinMo to boot Android, so I went back to Titanium :p.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Entropy512:
I've been using Titanium too for the past two months - but for whatever reason Energy stopped autoupdating time for me ages ago.

I wonder if it's just disabled for GSM users?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
Tha'd be odd. It seems GSM users have reported this issue MUCH more frequently than CDMA users - so perhaps that is the key...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] ryannathans:
My WINMO never ever syncs time.

I'm using energy too 0.o

GSM

WINMO always reports some wacky time that's always incorrect.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Entropy512:
Actually, it's probably always correct - if you assume it's GMT and not local. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] fortunz:
My winmo is always right, to the second. I assumed it polled the carrier the same way some of my dumbphones have in the past.

The only time its ever been off was when I used a time sync tool in android to correct that clock. For a few minutes after booting back into winmo, that clock was off before it polled again and righted itself. Since I rely on my winmo clock and only play in android for now, I tolerate the android clock being off and no longer try to sync the time, though other than getting a sync tool from the market, I've never really tried to fix it. Might just be some normal android setting change is necessary.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
It's a kernel bug actually... WisTilt2's 4/15 kernel doesn't exhibit the drift - or at least it's significantly less. Not sure what is holding it up from the autobuild, probably some piece of the patch that the repo maintainers don't like :p.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] highlandsun:
His patch removes some locks from the kernel message logger. Frankly, the fact that it works tells me we've got too much code spewing out debug messages while inside interrupt handlers. It's crap. You throw debug messages in while you're trying to figure something out. Once you have it working, turn them off.

The fact that these things are being left behind all over the kernel source is a pretty bad sign - either the developers got sloppy and never cleaned up after they got something working, or they just never got it working and moved on anyway.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
A little from column A... a little from column B...

I would agree .27 is a mess. I think that's why most of the kernel devs are looking to .3x to save us, instead of trying to fix the mess that .27 has become...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] rcgators:
Back to the orginal topic... (kernal tangent was interesting ;) )

Network time sync does not run automatically on all networks (GSM). Seems like a hit or miss... yes, you CDMA folks finally have an advantage! :p

For those using Energy ROM, just extract the attached file (link) to your \windows\startup folder and it will run the 'get carrier time' script at each boot back to WinMo. Or... you can use TotalCommander, locate t.mscr in windows and create a shortcut yourself and drop it in the startup folder.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Nautis:
For most people direct linking to t.mscr or t.exe will cause a pb.exe error. JVH3 has put together a cab that seems to work around this issue it can be found linked to this post.

Pretty sure this whole discussion is off topic to "android development" while kernel discussion is very relevant. So do we stay on topic with the forum section or with the post? Paradoxical. :p

[Optimus One, P500, V General] ratexxx:
Hi!

I've just bought my O1 which is labeled as P500h. I'd like to know what is the differences between P500h and P500 models. My P500h has the card slot under battery cover and on it's camera lens it's showing 3.2 mega pixels... I saw some pics in the internet showing some O1 with card slot outside and camera lens showing 3.0 mp..

That's really confusing... Because I don't know if my p500h support custom roms (mine is the stock one, 2.2.1, V10a, FRG83)

Thx
[Optimus One, P500, V General] AngryWolf80:
I have P500 and it's "3.0 MP" note on back... maybe it simple for different countries?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ratexxx:
That would be my first guess... Is your microsd slot located under battery cover (on the top)?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ratexxx:
anyone else?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DJBhardwaj:
Models are named different in different countries. Like Lg optimus one p500 in india

and others like lg optimus T for T-Mobile etc.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ratexxx:
Right, but about the hardware differences that I said on my post?

So can I use any custom rom on my p500h? Because I read somewhere that a P500h phone was lost after flashing a P500 rom.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ratexxx:
So I can flash any rom on my p500h? Even if it was a P500 rom?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] marioemp2k7:
P-500h is a Telus\Koodo branded Optimus One. It has the same hardware so you can use the same roms.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ratexxx:
But I live in Brazil and I have an unbranded phone. :confused:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] marioemp2k7:
So what? That was only an example. This one is also present in Brasil (Claro, Vivo, Tim, Telemig), New Zealeand (Telecom), Mexic (Telcel), Peru (Telefonica). The phone may be sold from an operator without any hardware visual branding. Just small differences in software or no differences whatsoever. As for yours, I'm sure there are only small cosmetic changes.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkzBR:
Motorola Atrix 4G should work correctly in Brazil 3G? I know that atrix doesnt have 900mhz frequencies, but carriers here have 2100/1800/850 frequencies... i will buy one on ebay unlocked, whats a good prince for it? 400 usd?

another question is, whats the restrictions of motorola on this phone? there is a good some time that i dont hold a motorola phone, my last phone is a x10i from sony...

it have 2.3.x or 3.x firmware? should a buy this really?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rayan:
You must take in consideration the bands and frequencies for voice and data. Chances are that it could work on voice but not 3G/4G data (only Edge speeds), but please check what voice and data bands your operator works on and compare with those on the Atrix.

What do you mean by 'Restrictions'??? If you are talking about the encrypted bootloader, yes it's encrypted and Motorola is well known for being one of the best to handle encryption. However there is a small light at the end of the tunnel and there seems to be hope that either Moto will unlock it (doubt it myself) or Devs coming up with a way to overcome this limitation.

All in all the Atrix is a great Smartphone even on it's current ROM state.

Cheers!

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkzBR:
http://www.phonegg.com/compare/27/Motorola-ATRIX-vs-Motorola-ATRIX-4G.html

Here they are selling the first model, if you see the comparei, it just have add the HSDPA 900 frequencie and removed 4G from title....

BUT they are U$ 1,600 USD (R$ 2,600). 4G is a protocol right? so, i think 4G phone will work on 3G band, correct?

Should I wait for Galaxy S II (i dont even know the release date for it...) ? I really hate wait.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rayan:
Well no, 4g is not a protocol per-se, it's just a fancy way of saying fourth generation ...

So yes, a 4g device can be used on a 3g our even edge network as long as the bands match.

Good luck
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GibMcFragger:
$1600USD????? Holy crap. They retail for $599cdn here (Atrix 4G) and I think that's steep.

Yes, 4G phones also work on 3G assuming the 4G/3G bands are compatible.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkzBR:
Thats the price on Brazil... R$ 2,600 = 1,595 USD :D

Thats why i wanna buy from ebay or anything like. Another question is, why this phone on ebay comes without 'original packing'? i have broght anothers models on ebay, but every atrix that i found on ebay comes without packing (but, a good price range... 500 usd).

Is true that i cant install apps from Android Market even if i buy a AT&T Unlocked phone because i need to flash to enable sideloading apps?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GibMcFragger:
Could you not buy a Bell version which already has sideloading enabled and no tethering restrictions? The Bell version seems to be the same as the international version as any leaked sbf (with the exception of ATT) has worked on it so far.

As for the market, I can't see why sideloading would affect market app installs. Sideloading is for installing apk's from your SD card, etc, AFAIK.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjjensen23:
The 4g is atts way of saying hspda+ as its still just fast 3g.

As for sideloading on att atrix, yes you can enable it by rooting and using gladenable.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] scottyb0721:
I rooted my phone Saturday mainly for tethering. I use my phone as my internet connection while I'm storm chasing. Well today was a chase day and everything was working great until I hit edge network and then i couldn't get any data on my laptop. It showed a local connection, but no internet. Now I haven't tested this since and I have 3g at home so I can't test it there. Does anyone know if this is how it is supposed to work and if so is there a work around? I'm hoping it was just a fluke and will work fine chasing the next couple days. We have my wife's iPhone 4 using mywi as a backup just in case though. Should I be able to use edge using the wireless ap in Android?

Thanks
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Rldowney:
Are you using the stock tethering?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] scottyb0721:
Yes I am using the stock tethering program and have the tethering manager froze.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
you should be able to tether on edge but it will be slow, maybe slow enough to get an error. also i have had issues where i need to reset the radio on the phone by turning off wireless networks and turning it back on.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] scottyb0721:
Ok thanks for the info. I just wanted to make sure it was possible and I didn't have to adjust a setting somewhere that I was overlooking. I will be using again today and tomorrow so I will get a chance to test it out some more. I'm very aware of the very slow speeds on edge but it usually works for updating radar information ok. And Opera web browser also works very well over edge with the turbo mode on. Thanks!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] scottyb0721:
Tested out the tethering a lot the last two days and have came to the conclusion it will drop your tethering connection with two or less bars of edge. It will auto reconnect as soon as my signal improves above that level. Still a little frustrating.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toya10:
Do I have to be on a sense Rom for htc sync to work? Still trying to figure out a way to unroot without the power button :(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
You could put a PC36IMG of the RUU on the root of your SD card and boot into the bootloader with an app. When it scans, you choose yes with the volume up button and let it run. Then choose yes again to reboot. This will not give you s-off if you've ever used unrevoked or flashed unrevoked forever, but it will put you on the stock, not rooted rom. This is assuming that the power button isn't stuck, but just not functional.

The only other option that I can think of is to claim it lost and pay the $100 deductible if you have insurance, or go to a non-Sprint repair shop and have them look at it.

And yes, you have to be on a Sense rom to use HTC Sync.

(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toya10:


I've never used bootloader so used to recovery etc. So I can download that stock file and do it all with the bootloader and volume button. I can honestly say i can't remember the name of the method i used. I've been rooted since August and hadn't looked back.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toya10:
Also excuse my ignorance what is s off? Power button has been deemed dead by Sprint but they won't take it back until I get unrooted.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
I know there were other methods back then that didn't use unrevoked, so you may be in the clear. S-off is security off, NAND unlocked. It essentially means that you are fully rooted. It is possible to flash roms etc while still s-on (or at least I've seen mention of it) but certain root actions will not work.

The bootloader is the white screen where you access recovery - you usually get there by holding volume down and the power button. Near the top it'll either say ship s-on or ship s-off. If you're s-on, then running the RUU through the bootloader will put you where you need to be.

You can get there through certain apps if you're already booted into the os. I think Quick Boot will do it, I know you can use Widgetsoid to make a reboot toggle, just choose "bootloader" or "choose on click" when making the widget. I believe the option is under "advanced".

(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toya10:
I sure hope this works. I have an app that will get me to the white screen yes where I usually go to recovery. If is says "ships s-off" am I SOL? I guess before I go in and look I just want to see what the status is *cringe so scared* once i get into bootloader though it will do its thing without me having to use the power button as "enter." Should I just google for the PC36IMG file you mentioned?

**UPDATE**

I just went into bootloader to look at it says Supersonic EVT@-3 Ship S Off

Computex is next week and they have teased a very sleek looking device. They are also asking us to guess if is a Pad or a Phone???

Could be Atix style transformer or a tab-phone like the Dell streak???

What are your thoughts?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] birdtales:
Looks like the bump is a "well" for a phone to dock into. The shiny plastic thing appears to be a phone. So a phone that docks into a larger lcd????

Not a fan of the bump in the back and the black plastic looks like it could be a scratch magnet even though it'll be elevated. Still nice though.

Looks like a new tablet to me. That was fast.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Kilmar:
Agree, looks like phone/tablet conversion.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tornadog:
seems to be the logical conclusion, seeing as how they are asking us to guess if its a phone or a pad and the caption, break the rules; which means the distinction is going to be "broken"
