[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
You will need a proper usb to go cable to connect the flash drive or hdd, i have connected a flash drive to my phone without any problems..

I would think you would need a custom kernels or ntfs-3G modules for the kernel you are using.

The big thing is if the phone can deal with being charged, output hdmi and connect to a HDD over the same usb port at the same time?

Maybe a powered hub?

Also wondering if there would be enough bandwidth on the bus to support that all.

The big thing that would be good for me is that I could buy a cheap self powered hdd, load it up with movies and stuff and watch it while at work where there's a lot of down time, and being able to charge and use tv out at the same time would mean I could watch the iplayer or something on the tv without having to worry about battery life!

Hey, connect a mouse and keyboard as well and your phone is basically a normal computer!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K3VL4R:
Good idea. This powered hub is almost as cheap as the splitter cable and should take care of any power requirements.

As for the on-the-go cable, I have different angled micro male to usb female cables already so that I can help take stress off the jack when using it while charging. My USB flash drive does not power up with this cable. I just assumed it needed external power. What is different about the OTG cable, did they twist some wires or are mine just meant for charging if they are not working ? All the pins are present and the cable is thick, so no reason why they would not just connect everything internally.

Thanks for the replies so far.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
In order for usb to go to work you need a special cable, its got a special pin that's grounded or floating or has a few different values depending, the cables are very cheap on eBay or there's guides on how to make them.

OTG won't work with generic cables im afraid.

I just want this idea to work myself :d
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Im sitting here with a SGS2 with a USB kb, mouse, and a flash drive connected to it.

SGS2> (usb to go cable) > Powered hub > Mouse + keyboard + flash drive.

To get random devices to work (not hubs, input devices) you will need to add the device ids, see this thread for more info, more info and some device/vendor ids and a huge list of almost every device/vendor id

Attached is a rules file with logitech and some other vendors, add and expand as needed!

Now I need to buy a micro USB > many micro USB's and a mhl cable!

The powered hub is a must or stuff just wont work due to the power draw.

Im looking at picture of the MHL adaptor, and they all have a USB port for passthough, so we can defo at the very least charge while outputting via it.

The big question now is if you can daisy chain and do MHL and OTG at the same time!

Well, unless on a lucky chance the USB port will work with a splitter, you cant do MHL and OTG at the same time. A real shame :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K3VL4R:
Thanks for the updates and links veyka. It also looks like the OTG cables do not charge the phone with the jumpered pins, so I will have to make sure and mark the OTG cables when they get here.

I should have the rest of my cables arrive in about 2-3 weeks and will post an update of what will or will not work. Sounds like the OTG cable alone should work with the USB to XLR cable for a microphone, as long as I can find a way to get the phone to recognize it. Though it would be nice to charge at the same time as well which the OTG does not support.

Do you know off hand what the headphone jack will accept for inputs ? Will it take TRRS or TRS audio in as well ? I am just looking at more options for XLR to the phone for connectivity without needing a mixer. Then I will use a mixer as well to see how much of a difference the balanced XLR out will make.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
In the end android should support anything linux does, you might need to build a kernel module (driver) or find someone that will for you.

You can get pretty much any input device going with the links above, but other stuff, I dont know im afraid :(

Hope lives eternal.

No clue im afraid :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K3VL4R:
No problem bud. You have been more than helpful already. I already have a plethora of cables and devices for recording on laptop and PC with Windows and Linux. My Android uses for recording are so far purely just for practicing so that I have it down in case something of interest is created. So ease of use and portability is the main factor.

It also interested me just to be able to find different ways of recording since so much of it is done through software these says. The more knowledgeable I am with cables, signals and processing, the more options that I will have available to me. Though I still like to mic an amp then process afterwards.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manske90:
Hello,

I know that there are countless other threads about this issue all over the Internet, but many of them are from a year ago and none of them have helped me yet.

I've installed every driver recommended from these threads, I've restarted my phone, my computer(s), tried a different cable, USB Debugging on and off, reformatted the internal SD card, and still no luck. Kies doesn't recognize my phone. It doesn't show up in device manager or as an extra drive.

Using TW Launcher. I plug it in, select Mass Storage, hit "Connect USB Storage." It says that USB storage is in use. Yet there is no activity on my PC to indicate as such.

I can't get my Captivate to connect to a computer.

It used to connect just fine up until I upgraded to Froyo.

Is my phone a hopeless case that needs replacing, or am I missing something along the way here? I'd love to root it or at least roll back to 2.1 somehow.

Thanks so much for looking and for any help.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sepherian:
Reboot into download and connect to computer, see if that works.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RichMD:
I had a similar problem and it was definitely a hardware problem. At first it was recognized but then it would only charge via the pc - multiple windows 7 computers would not recognize it. However, a few times it would start installing and then say "disconnected" or something like that. One of those times that I "jiggled" the connector on the phone, it started installing the driver and I didn't touch it and it finished and worked. I disconnected and reconnected and nothing again... I got another refurb and no problems at all.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manske90:
Well I'll try a few more times. Just glad the Thrill is almost out and I can enjoy that one for 10 months before something better comes along :P

Thanks for the help

I love to position my Tab on portrait mode, which makes the 4x2 widget excellent.

Any recommended widget that is both beautiful and functional? Currently I use the Digital clock, Weather (resized) and GTasks.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] petemills8:

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] biggins1870:
I'll second TeamViewer. You have to download the .apk from their website though. They don't distribute through the Market.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] inazr:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.teamviewer.teamviewer.market.mobile&feature=search_result
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] NCKevo:
I didn't like the free version of Team Viewer, because, correct me if I'm wrong, it timed out the server on my desktop after a few minutes (30 or so).

I'm currently using androidVNC, which works pretty well, and Wyse PocketCloud (which can connect to RDP, but I've only used the VNC capabilities)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] zequav:
and is open source :). +1 for androidVNC.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] yossarian229:
I personally use the paid version of PocketCloud and love it. I've set some clients up with the free version and they haven't had any problems that I'm aware of.

*Edit*

I didn't see NCKevo's post from earlier. I use PocketCloud's RDP and VNC depending on the situation and have not run into any issues.

Also, the free version of PocketCloud is now limited to 1 saved connection.

I know this is bringing back a dead thread but if anyone finds this thread I want them to know what I decided on. I finally found a great solution. Splashtop. It is the best solution for me.

Never mind 3rd party software that you have to install on your pc/mac/Linux, I like Jump Desktop. Just set up an SMB server on your machine and your good Togo. Should be simple enough since most platforms comes with native SMB support.

Remember, this is just my 2 cents :p
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] OrganizedFellow:
After testing many apps, I settled on TeamViewer.

It's the only one that offers a decent refresh rate, doesn't pixelate, has simple controls for single-click, double-click and drag. Plus it's the only one that I've found that works well on my Nook and my LG G2X.

EDIT:

After reading about Jump Desktop (market:http://goo.gl/1SPPQ) mentioned by racks, I think I'll give that a shot. Looks intuitive.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jgaf:
+1 Splashtop

It streams sound, and I was able to play minecraft on the NC streaming from the PC. Also tried watching a couple of movies one of them 720p and it ran great. All this was done connected to the same network obviously, I haven't tried the option of entering your google credentials to be able to access the pc through a different network, I would think i would be slower, depending on the internet connection. Specially since my ISP only gives me 1mb upload.

If you are still undecided google or youtube "splashtop skyrim"

I'd prefer if it was right after the first boss fight where you unlock all essential plants because I've played up until that point twice already and lost my save files. I don't want to go through it again.

[Focus General] dan-htc-touch:
care to elaborate how you came by this?
[Focus General] baritoneguy:
I am very interested in this as well. Can you share the details please?
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
I think the poster found the Diagnosis v1122 app that was attached in another thread, installed it and then tried to update to Mango.

That's how I read it, because there is no update from either Samsung or Rogers.
[Focus General] baritoneguy:
I was pretty sure I read somewhere that people had tried that but were unsuccessful. I am still hoping the OP can elaborate
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
I think the OP could've by responded by now.

You read correctly, I was the one asking for v1122 to try on Rogers, here, following on another thread here. I can tell you it doesn't work as it's not part of the ROM, will be revoked as all other sideloaded apps.
[Focus General] random_n:
Yeah, I tried putting the XAP in a Rogers Focus a while ago and got the same revocation error that EnderPsp did. Also, it just crashes in NoDo, so it's useless all around.

May as well just flash the AT&T ROM. After removing their software, it works identically to the Rogers ROM except for the 3G in the status bar never changing to 3G+ on HSPA networks. Network performance is the same either way; it's just a visual thing and an easy regedit if you want to change it. You can put up to three characters in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Connectivity\CellularUx\DataConnectionIcon\1XHSDPA and it'll show up in the status bar when doing data access. "H" would probably be the most accurate description, but H+ or 4G look nicer and could be just as appropriate depending on how your carrier is branding their network (I went with H+).
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnnyTightlips:
I am wondering if there is a way to boot the tablet when a/c power is applied. I am trying to use it as a carputer setup. It would be great if I could start the car and the tablet would boot and then when I shut the car off the tablet would shut down. I currently have it plugged in to the car so that it only receives power when the car is running. It would be great not to have to manually turn the tablet on and off. I am running Vegan Ginger RC1. Can I modify some files to make this happen? Can tasker do this? I did some searching and couldn't find any definitive answers.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gangolfus:
You might be able to do the shut down when unplugged half using a program like Tasker. Powering on will be a much bigger challenge.

Good Morning,

For some reason, recently the wifi on my phone isnt connecting...i constantly get "optaining ip address"

It was working perfectly up until about 3days ago.

Any ideas on what i can try?

1- I found on another forum that updating the kernel helped a few people. So I flashed

. That didn't fix the wi-fi.

2- I took jkolner's advice just above and flashed a radio for a 2.33.669.2 RUU. Although nothing else broke, wi-fi was still a no-go.

I will keep searching and post back any finds.
