never seen this before, thanks for posting it.
[HTC EVO 3D] housry23:
I had the Original Evo and yes my camera lens got scratched because it protruded from the back. It happened from just setting the phone down on it's back without any case. the scratch didn't effect pictures in anyway. The 3V0's lens seems different and nearly unscratchable, but that doesn't mean I won't be careful with it no matter what HTC or anyone else says.

Hi Guys,

Just thought I'd post and say Hi to everyone on XDA.

Love the site, was lurking for about 6 months, before I decided to join up, but wanted to say a big thank you to all the developers on here.

I have an HTC Desire HD running Android Revolution HD 5.1.11 and as you may be able to tell from my username and avatar, am an avid Tottenham Hotspur supporter.

Hope to make myself as useful as I can on the site, and hope you all keep up the good work.

Cheers guys. :cool:

I got the New Samsung USB connection Kit today, I have the Galaxy Tab 7 from T-Mobile, and YES I do know that it will not work with the Froyo installed, but I got a great deal on it for $15.00 free shipping, so when the talented XDA people find a way, of which I am confident someone will!. I took some pictures so everyone could see the packaging if you have not already.

Yes I did try it just for fun and of course nothing happened.

it is adapter for Galaxy Tab 10.1 ad probably won't work with Galaxy tab

the same as the another great accessory http://samsung.mobilefulfilment.com.au/Products/ViewProduct.aspx?ProductVariantId=EPL-3PHPBEGSTD
[Galaxy Tab General] deanwray:
From a post a long time ago (well 4 months or so) I though everyone realised the p1xxx series 7 inch does not have the required hardware to have a host protocol run on that socket at the bottom.

So no, no amount of ROM / Firmware wizardry will supplement hardware :(
[Galaxy Tab General] x4gvnferdy:
I have heard usb host support isn't added until android 3.1, but perhaps i'm wrong. this device was made for the Galaxy tab 10.1 but might work with 7 after 3.2 is ported.
[Galaxy Tab General] deanwray:
I have usb host in a 2.1 tablet, and a 2.2, 2.3 etc blaaa, but they have hardware support for it, the tab 7 doesn't.

So like I said, no amount of software is gonna make a host controller appear inside the tab 7 and connect itself to the bottom socket ;)

[Galaxy Tab General] suggs:
On the official german samsung site samsungzubehoer the usb connection kit is listed as compatible with the galaxy tab 7 umts version. Maybe samsung should know, if the tab has the required hardware? And maybe gingerbread is needed to use the kit? Which could be the reason, why it took so long until the kit was released?

I ordered one and will try it. If it does not work, I call the support and then send it back :-)
[Galaxy Tab General] 00r101:
I have a Galaxy Tab 7 and a Galaxy Tab 10.1 I ordered the USB connection kit for the 10.1 and it works as advertised allowing me to use USB mem sticks and USB card readers for SD cards etc. I gave it a try on the 7" (Sprint model with Gingerbread) and it does nothing. Sorry.
[Galaxy Tab General] selat:
indeed samsungzubehoer claims that it is compatible with galaxy tab, check out this website

[Galaxy Tab General] avnguyen:
Anyone has the connection kit, pls try to install this and plug in your USB flash drive (FAT32), then run the app and "Rescan device" (press Menu>ReScan Device).

"Q5 USB Memory Stick Manager" (google for it coz I can't post link with my account)

Pls report back if the app found any "sda" device. If it does then you can mount it and use it.
[Galaxy Tab General] Declan79:

[Galaxy Tab General] debernardis:
Bump! Any news on this issue?

In the meantime I have tried the Mobidapter, but it's an hit-and-miss thing, with several usb sticks refusing to work.
[Galaxy Tab General] deanwray:
When you say hit and miss, I assume your on about ALL MISS? As in nothing works?
[Galaxy Tab General] debernardis:
Nope, because I happen to have ONE stick which is working with the Mobidapter: an old and bulky 512Mb Sandisk. Other sticks plainly refuse to play.
[Galaxy Tab General] deanwray:
So you have the adapter and external mem plugged in that works with the tab7 (p1000) ?
[Galaxy Tab General] deanwray:
Ah, just realised what a Mobidapter is :)

tis for the sd socket lol

Thought it would be odd to have the bottom tab connector running an sd/usb storage with no host controller in the device :)
[Galaxy Tab General] debernardis:
Well, I think this depends on how much you want it, I mean host mode.

On the Nokia N900 there used to be no host mode and no otg, just guest mode only; but when a determined group of hackers, the h-e-n group, decided they wanted host mode, they *made it happen* and now there is host mode with a simple application. No other cables or electronics needed, just a female-to-female usb adapter.

I am sure this could be done for the Tab, too.
[Galaxy Tab General] TopHatHacker:
Hardware/software

They were lucky in the fact that the hardware for host mode was there. This isn't always just a simple turn-it-on-in-software kinda thing. If we're so lucky as to have the hardware for host mode, I'm sure someone will figure out how to get it working. If it works in GB out of the box though, I doubt anyone will waste the time getting it working for froyo.

[Galaxy Tab General] deanwray:
Nothing will happen, is missing host hardware
[Galaxy Tab General] fred kaz:
Hi,

Is this for the new 10.1 Tab, or will it work on the 7" original tab??

Cheers,

Fred
[Galaxy Tab General] Geletis:
I'm somewhat dubious about the claim that the 7" Tab cannot be hacked to host USB. The fact that Samsung announced a USB adapter for the 7" Tab strongly suggests the hardware is present. Admittedly, Samsung never shipped that peripheral, but they never shipped a number of other (non USB) peripherals that were announced at the same time.

If the 7" Tab doesn't have the hardware, how is it known?

Has someone has done a tear-down, looked up the relevant part number and referenced the manufacturer specifications of the component?

If so, who? Where?
[Galaxy Tab General] deanwray:
Sorry for saying that it has no host mode, I didn't really mean that. What I ment to say is yes it supports HID host, but nothing that would require power as I believe the socket cannot output anything (and would require to output up to 5 volts depending on what your gonna use). There is no reason passive devices would not work (like keyboard etc)

As much as I've tried to find info to confirm the spec on the host controller I can't, but measuring the current from the standard usb cable leads me to believe no, as it would require a startup current to trigger most powered usb devices (upon connection). So that speculation coupled with the fact it's been out a while and there are ZERO powered accessories leads me to conclude it can't and will never work (not positive, but 90% probable).

My brain dump :)
[Galaxy Tab General] Geletis:
Couldn't a lack of voltage merely suggest that the feature is software controllable and has just not been activated?

I think you're 90% guess is wildly pessimistic. Given the fact that Samsung announced and showed photos of a dongle designed to allow USB data connections to cameras strongly suggests the Tab is capable of hosting USB data connections.

My personal wild ass guess (with perhaps a 90% confidence) is that the Tab is capable of USB host, but that this would require a driver, a driver that is unlikely to exist. My guess is that software issues drove Samsung's decision regarding the UBS dongle, not a lack of hardware.

As for the level of difficulty in developing such a driver, I won't hazard a guess. If an existing driver could be repurposed it could be quite simple. If a driver has to be written from scratch, I admit it's unlikely we'll ever see the feature.
[Galaxy Tab General] deanwray:
my friend I think your way off, even if I refine my probability to 75%, and then add to that the probability that it will ever work, 90% not likely even if it is there, due to the previous reasons I mentioned (been a while now).

Chances someone will spend enough time to get it to work due to no info and mass of other tablet choices with host, 2% ?

So I really think this is a dead issue, given that other manufacturers (cheap ones too) had simple hardware powered host in android 2.1.

I believe also the voltage control is hardware based and would need to increase to report any powered device to the os. :(

What info do you have to be 90% sure ?
[Galaxy Tab General] Galaxy-Shadow:
I don't know if some of the other ROM's that are available for the Galaxy Tab 7 would make the Samsung USB connection Kit workable ?? or maybe the Gingerbread update might have something to offer a fix for the USB Host issues?

I tried the following;

USB Keyboards = Nothing

USB mouse = for a brief moment a cursor appeared then disappeared??

USB hard drives = Nothing

USB Flash cards = Nothing

With the exception of the USB mouse of which does not work? but..it's perplexing why the cursor appears? and it's only repeatable only after restart of tablet, after 1st try and you re-plug mouse no cursor appears, only after restart do you see the cursor again for 1 second. very strange! don't know what that means? maybe someone familiar with the Froyo code can figure out why it happens? Anyone know why?
[Galaxy Tab General] deanwray:
I would suspect the keyboard your using requires slightly more current than is available, and the mouse also. If anyone can test that with a ball mouse (not lazer). This makes me think that it's not possible! Froyo, HC won't change anything me thinks
[Galaxy Tab General] Mjoelnir77:
One could try using a hub with external power supply, then current should be no problem with the hub taking care of it.

I doubt it works thoug, as i read of a german user who tried just that. But perhaps it depends on the exact peripherie used.
[Galaxy Tab General] FC1032:
I have completely no clue on this stuff...

But doesn't the tab power the keyboard dock? I heard that on youtube...
[Galaxy Tab General] deanwray:
yeah but thats passive power, hardly anything. Your body generates more than is required to register on a keyboard such as the tab dock one
[Galaxy Tab General] blue blue man:
If the problem is the lack of power out, someone can try power the usb device with external battery. I had an ARCHOS 70 tablet which support USB host. It worked fine with USB Flash memory or usb mouse, but when I plug an HDD into the tablet, I have to use external battery to power the HDD.

[Galaxy Tab General] punkgeek:
Thanks. :D My kernel fixes for the 7" tabs do require a slightly custom cable at the moment (and the code is still alpha)

However, if someone who has one of these USB connection kit devices could loan it to me for a few days I think there is a fair chance (assuming the appropriate LDO is stuffed on the 7" tab) I can make the 7" tab "just work" with this device.

I might need to pop open the shell but I'd glue it back and include thanks for the loan. I'm in the SF Bay Area.

-- Just wondering as they are much cheaper than the official 10.1 USB adapter. I have purchased these for my galaxy s2 and think it would be nice to use with more than one device. I can test anything for you on my tab once I receive them.
[Galaxy Tab General] rEVOLVE:
Please check your messages as I just PMed you. I'm in the bay, too and i placed an order for the samsung tab 10.1 usb kit yesterday - unfortunately it's coming from one of the Asian distributors on ebay so it's not delivered for 2-3 weeks. I'd lend it to you when it comes, if you could still use it to try by then.
[Galaxy Tab General] AspenMan:
You can also use a Micro USB OTG Cable like this one on amazon. Dues the same thing as the Samsung adapter but takes up less space and works better with stands.
[Galaxy Tab General] afropolak:
About USB OTG

Come on !

I'm using Galaxy S2 and I choose it mostly because of USB HOST functionality - mouse, keyboard, hdd, pendrive, card readers, etc.....

Now I want to buy tablet , P1010 probably. First what I try to find is Does it have USB HOST, tablet !!! without it ! come on, It's like a car without trunk. or like...iphone - expensive and for some of us well designed paperweight

I know: cloud, mail, wifi, ok, I can forget about USB host when we will stop using portable flash drives.
[Galaxy Tab General] mickeu645:
any news about the USB host integration?

Is it included in a custom rom?
[Galaxy Tab General] smafra:
Anybody? Any customized rom around with this feature?
[Galaxy Tab General] lardman:
Could someone with the adaptor post the output of dmesg after you've plugged it in please, I'm curious to see whether the device does switch modes and therefore this is simply a power issue, or whether there's a different accessory recognition resistance used for the 10" tab?
[Galaxy Tab General] agc93:
There are currently no 2.x Custom ROMs that support USB Host that I know of, with the connection kit or otherwise. punkgeek had a kernel patch going for a while, but it only worked on Froyo kernel's and only with some physical modifications, so all the while there's no movement on that front, I don't think we'll see any ROMs sporting USB Host.

[Galaxy Tab General] Jupit3r:
I doubt it work anytime soon, the ics rom on galaxy tab doesn't support usb host, either. Even tabs like 8.9 or 10.1, which does, only supports usb with a storage less than 8gb, anything more than that will be not possible due to the amount of power the tab can supply the usb interface... and I seriously doubt if the hardware design of tab 7.0 does support offering any power to usb hosting.:(:(:(

Hi there!

Sorry, I don't have a link of this working myself, but perhaps this thread will help you a bit!
[Verizon Droid Charge] octomobiki:
Good Morning all -

was wondering if there was a way (either through program or stock) to tell what the input amperage is that your phone is receiving. I know the computer should be giving 500ma, but I'd like to check my car and certain house chargers to see if they are giving what they recommend.

My problem scenario, it seems that no matter what car charger I use for my Droid Charge, I seem to LOSE a charge with it plugged in when the navigation is going.

Of note: I have not used a verizon branded/or samsung branded car charger, they all have those ugly twirly wires which is not needed when I'm routing cable through my vehicles interior.

thank you for any/all input.

[Defy General] uzi74:
On the other hand my defy has better reception on poorly covered areas than my Samsung Galaxy had
[Defy General] tlsty:
please note that the SAR value is derived from the maximal transmit power (as mentioned above), which is for most of the current touch phones caused by the WiFi. Consider also that 3G also produces high radiation compared to the 2G. However, the lower signal strength, the higher radiation. Look up the position of the antenna of your Defy in the manual and make sure you do not cover that spot on the cell-phone when making a call (usually in the lower end, the other side of the of the ear-phone). also, try to hold the phone with that end as far from your head as possible, as the radiation decreases not arithmetically, but geometrically (every unit of distance decreases the radiation by more units - please refer to the http://img.tfd.com/mgh/Investopedia/Inverted_Yield_Curve.png) where "Yeld"=SAR value and "Maturity"=distance from body...

sorry for the academic stuff, but i could not find a better explanation...

Thats a nice info.Thanks.:)
[Defy General] xdaid:
EDIT:

I was taking a look here, what about W/kg per 10g vs W/kg per 1g? So, Europe and USA have different SAR limit but the first is related to 10g of tissue, the second to 1g. Will this make any difference? In other words, which is the lowest SAR? Just a doubt..
