I fought with USB hosting on my Xoom for months. I found that no app was consistent in getting things to show up properly. Often I would have to reboot before it would recognize the drive file structure with FAT32 or NTFS. A couple tips that helped in the end:

1) Formatting elsewhere first is fine, but I found plugging in an empty drive into the Xoom before loading anything on it allowed it to add the lost.dir directory. After that I don't recall having issues with the hosting, but only if I let it add the directory before loading files from a different location. Not sure why it helped, but it did in my case.

2) The most reliable method for getting it to work seems to be a custom ROM. I'm running CM9 and don't recall having a single hosting issue since loading.

I have

1. Xoom MZ604 Wifi - Official ICS 4.0.4 NOT ROOTED

2. OTG USB Cable

3. Digital Camera with USB cable

4. Cardreader

and want to transfer files from my camera to Xoom

Can I do it without rooting?
[Xoom General] Aaron407:
You certainly should be able to. I copied many photos from a Kodak camera via Xoom -> USB OTG cable -> camera USB cable -> camera. It loads thumbnails in the gallery app for you to copy from. Worked on my wife's unrooted Xoom as well.

help

I have the same motorola Xoom MZ604 with Official ICS 4.0.4 NOT ROOTED

i have the OTG USB Cable.

I want to transfer files from USB memory drives but i can't

i conect them to the Xoom and it doesn't recognize them. i enter settings to mount it but it doesn't appear unmounted. i installed USB watcher from the market but it only shows me the name of the memory and i can't access it.

should i root it or what can i do?

i have an arduino ADK and tested with ICS 4.0.4 so USB Host works.
[Xoom General] 3devious:
Are you running a custom ROM or are you just stock but rooted?
[Xoom General] nitephlight:
this device is too powerful not to root, jump on that plz lol. If usb device is not detected try using a hub first in chain with discreet power source. gl

thank you..
[Xoom General] uhs74:
try to use Stick Mount ( root) app frm Play store.
[Xoom General] gmanunited:
Yes you will have to root your Xoom. Stick mount works fine...
[Xoom General] MaxWantsIt:
USB drive location

I have an MZ604 WiFi Xoom rooted and running Team EOS3 nightly 153. Also installed is USB Mass Storage Watcher.

When I plug in a Sandisk USB drive it mounts to /storage/usb0, which is fine. I can easily find the drive's files by running Solid Explorer and back arrowing one step.

However when I plug in a TDK USB drive it mounts to /mnt/usbOTG. To find the files in Solid Explorer requires a couple of back arrows and a tap on mnt and usbOTG.

Why do the drives mount differently and is it possible to have the TDK drive mount to /storage/usb0?

TIA

Max
[Xoom General] romdroid.:
I am running TeamEOS 2.0 and everytime I plug in my USB with the OTG cable nothing comes up....I have tried many apps like drive mount and usb mass storage watcher, can someone please tell me how it works? I mount the USB but where can I find the files?
[Xoom General] TL1:
came ngstino

Will it work with stock rooted 4.1.2, or still I need a custom kernel?
[Xoom General] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
Try it and find out! Just need proper OTG cable and stickmount app from market. Let us know how it goes!
[Xoom General] TL1:
It works!

Already did! I spent a day to backup, unlock, root and restore data and apps, then half day more to restore settings and logins :) But now I have Nandroid, Titanium Pro, Greenify, StickMount and all other root tools. One drawback of the stock ROM is that it overwrites CWM each time it boots into Android so I had to re-flush recovery 3 times before I did all what I wanted, but it's not a problem as I probably won't need CWM again (I'm using Online Nandroid app). BTW I used recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img and Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip.

The Stick Mount does work greatly with rooted stock 4.1.2. I have a micro-USB 3-port USB hub + card reader from Dealexteme (supports SD/MS cards). I also tried to connect the hub + Apacer multi card reader + Compact Flash card and it also works fine! The reading goes well and at high speed (as on PC). So now I can use my Xoom to manage (or instagram ;)) photos from any of my cameras in field.
[Xoom General] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
Good to hear! Its pretty easy to get CWM to stick but it sounds like you don't want it. I usually use goomanager to download and flash the recovery.
[Xoom General] TL1:
Does goomanager make CWM to stick?

BTW I solved the famous Xoom stock 4.1.2 software freezing problem: root + Greenify Pro + Xpose framework + hibernate Gallery and Picasa Uploader. (I guess I should duplicate this in other Xoom threads as there are many reports of 4.1.2 freezing and no solution :)) BTW Greenify also did a great job making Xoom with dozens apps and gigs of data run as smooth as fresh after factory reset.

EDIT: This is not a 100% solution but the lockups now occur 1-2 times per day.
[Xoom General] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
No it will make TWRP stick.
[Xoom General] Behrooz Hussaini:
Please help

I did flashed my xoom 4.1.2 with Tiamat_Xoom-v1.4.4-Full_Throttle Kernel and worked greate and could ready and thumb drive

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 666fff:
Good question, the low camera framerate in darker conditions annoys me too.
[Xperia Play General] replicant101:
Its been quite a ride with the Xperia play, but unfortunately it hasn't been that good.

When i first got it i packed it to the brim with games. All gameloft ones like backstab, NOVA... stuff like that. Of course i was the first one to have one in my college, *****es love xperias ;)

After a while i noticed that the buttons and the slider werent as strong as they used to be, i disregarded it but it became worse and worse. I take amazing care of all my phones, i can't really remember a time when i've dropped one! And hell, i wouldnt even put my phone on a flat surface because i worry about grit underneath it xD

Eventually we got root, this bought life back into the phone but as i am simlocked, no unlocked bootloader for me... Also we didn't get that many "good" games. Apart from gameloft ones and some EA ones... However i mostly played LSD and some other ps1 titles on fpse :D

At about this point me (and im sure a few of you) realised that this phone is going... nowhere. Its not quite the "Playstation phone" i thought it would be.

So now... its going. Im going to go back to my motorola defy and stay there for a while. :)
[Xperia Play General] _terror_:
wow dude, have some patience. Good games don't comes right away. Plus, take a look at the n64oid. I've spent some good ass quality time playing Zelda OOT. I've much faith in this phone and i think we'll see some real good games this year. But sorry if you don't like it.. it's your loss :)
[Xperia Play General] replicant101:
I was very excited about minecraft coming out for it but i don't know...

As for old skool games, I completed pokemon gold and yellow on it (and super mario 6 gold coins 2)
[Xperia Play General] _terror_:
well, i'm not trying to make you keep the phone. If you wanna buy another one, do it :)
[Xperia Play General] hexen2006:
Yeah man, go ahead and change your phone, the Xperia PLAY is my first smartphone...

and I got it almost for free :D on a cheap 18 month plan.

So far it has not let me down on anything... and I currently more games than I can actually play, and with the emulators currently available is almost a non-limited game source.

However if I decide to change my phone, the only one available in Mexico better than the PLAY is the Galaxy S2... but no way, I will fit a humoungous phone like that on my pocket, also the price is a big step up, and I will surely miss my dedicated game pad... So there's no way out for me just yet (not that Im looking for one)

Currently I feel like the slider part is a bit more loose and the X button is more difficult to press on time (is like it is a little bit more "pressed" than the other ones), but no BIG issue just yet... I still have 10 months under warranty, so I can change it later for a new one and sell it $$$.

Im concerned too about where is this phone going, but I will gladly wait, because there is no better option for me right now.

We will miss a you as a PLAY user, because there more of us in here the more support we can get from DEVs and SE.
[Xperia Play General] Deoxlar:
What does the defy offer that you don't get from play? You gotta be kidding.. Going with Motorola's lmao
[Xperia Play General] Rogue Leader:
You gave up before the main application - "Playstation Suite" was even released yet.
[Xperia Play General] _terror_:
+1 :D haha
[Xperia Play General] Krislawl:
you can get out
[Xperia Play General] Deoxlar:
Kriskawl, i just met you on rainbow 6,is your version glitchy? You can shoot me but I don't see you. I see an invisible guy shooting at me.
[Xperia Play General] speedyink:
I think someone expects too much. Honestly, I've found this phone to have lots of life in it, and it's not exactly going nowhere, what with all the development going on by people on this very website. Yeah locked bootloader sucks and yeah it would be nice to have a fix released today but to just give up after a couple months because you aren't getting exactly what you want...well, maybe you need to get out more, see how life really works.

Suck it up muffin, or leave in silence.
[Xperia Play General] narflynn619:
slider and button problems already? jeez what have you been doing to your phone? I bought mine shortly after it was released and it's still good as new. :p

and yes, games don't come overnight. patience is indeed a virtue. also, your phone choices are a mismatch.. Xperia Play against Defy? OMFG it's ridiculous
[Xperia Play General] waz000000:
my missus has the defy and the only reason she has it is because she is a dozy bint who treats a phone like makeup, pop it in the bag and sling it on the floor when it's needed.

that's why it's the perfect phone for her but other than that it's ****e.

it's your choice what you do, not sure why you feel the need to let us all know though, not sure anybody cares?
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
It'd be nice of you to fulfill your bounty pledge :)
[Xperia Play General] subcu1ture:
I am glad the people who have no patience are leaving and getting **** phones in comparison.

Like people who go from Android to iphone are so fail.

Less whinging here if all the the complainers change phones because they couldn't wait. Some phones don't ever get updates :)
[Xperia Play General] Mozza2k11:
I think some people are expecting to much. This is a

phone

after all not a dedicated gaming device.

The Xplay plays all the same games any other phone you get will do but other phones dont have gaming controls this is what it comes down to (for me anyways ;)). I cannot see how you would want to trade playing emulators + fpse with real controls for crappier gaming...

Even without root and an unlocked bootloader this phone still has alot going for it, no other phone can offer the gaming experience this phone offers and it does the job as a phone well in my opinion.

You may just be unluckly but i hammer my gaming pad and slider and i have even droped it once :eek: and its still seems fine.

You have warranty/insurance right? Well whats the problem if it breaks get it replaced...
[Xperia Play General] lyricalchaos:
yh this phones annoys the f out of me but its still under devolpment u wont find a better game phone becouse proper games aint been made yet

[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
Why is everyone trying to flame replicant for trying to open a discussion on the pro's and con's of the device, and the reason why he has decided to sell it??

This is the whole point of xda, people share there experiences and ideas, Have you ever though that a thread like this where people express there feelings about a device is usefull for people who are undecided about weather to buy the play or not.

How are people ment to make an informed decision when the first time someone says something bad about your precious device, all you fanboys jump on them like a group of thugs ... pathetic
[Xperia Play General] Dousan:
Classic :D

Anyways i hear you androhero, hate the flaming when people is all but praise and good saying about a device wether it's here or another forum :eek:
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
The problem with posting this kind of opinion in this forum is that, if it's wrong, you're not giving any valuable information, and if you're right, you're just telling people they're a bunch.of losers for.buying this phone.

This thread belongs in a general Android thread where it can actually be read by.people considering the Play. In here, you can assume that everyone has the phone and you risk this kind of response.
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
I deleted that part cause i thought it was a bit over the top :D lol
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
+1 i agree and the op could of been a bit more helpfull and a bit more descriptive about the reasons why he does and dosent like the play, In the arc section there are two threads one called "my thoughts on the arc and why im going to sell it" and one called "my thoughts on the arc and why im going to keep it" threads like that are a valuble resource for people undecided on weather they are going to spend quite alot of money on something they may or may not like :p
[Xperia Play General] subcu1ture:
Major problem i had was OP claiming the phone is going nowhere when it has been in some regions for just 2 months and heaps is in store for it and already heaps of developments have happened and already had 1 update from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 and some regions just started on 2.3.3 out of the box.

Is everyone expecting new updates every 2 weeks or something?
[Xperia Play General] Rogue Leader:
Because he didn't try to open a discussion to discuss the pros and cons, he said hes got rid of it because "the phone is going nowhere" which we all know is incorrect.

He may as well have posted "your phone sucks", it would have gotten a similar response.
[Xperia Play General] FK1983:
Totally agreed with everything you say! your best selling the play while its worth at least something as it won't for long at this rate!

This device is going nowhere, its a "wonna be" handheld that fails on so many levels, :D
[Xperia Play General] DAVIDGBJONES:
I love my play, and I have that many games on it I dunno where to start lol.

I don't think this device is trying to be a handheld at all. I think it is what it set out to be, "an android phone with gaming controls". Just like phones with qwerty keyboards are not trying to be laptops.

1st post
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
I dont agree with you at all, i think people expect too much from the play, For starters, sony never called it "The playstation phone". All it is, is an android phone with a gamepad, it was designed for android users to enjoy the games they already loved and some classic ps1 games, people seem to be mad that its not the next psp, but dont blame the play because it wasnt what you expected, as an android phone its is great. it ticks all the boxes it was designed to tick :)

+1 i love my play too, although its not the greatist phone in the world, it suits me down to a T :D
[Xperia Play General] subcu1ture:
I love the play as well. I would definitely buy a second revision of it with HDMI out/HD recording/8 - 12 MP with eXmor and bravia engine/1GB ram/1GB internal storage.

But for the first version it is pretty sweet android phone with a great game pad to match.
[Xperia Play General] jimthev:
What better games are there for the touch screen only defy?
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
Give me that and capacitive buttons for the non-pad functions (Back, Home, Menu, Search).
[Xperia Play General] silvacrest:
i still dont get why people feel the need to do the above, if you want to move onto another phone fine, but unless your a developer no one cares

as for the phone you moved onto....the defy practically has nothing over the play apart from its toughness but that can be said for any other phone, and like others said, you didn't even wait for the PS suite :/
[Xperia Play General] speedyink:
Simple, because it's not a discussion thread regarding the pros and cons of the play. It's just a someone whining. I have no issues with a proper 'discuss the xplay' thread, this is just not how to do it.
[Xperia Play General] brochador:
TS, much better if you just keep your opinion about this phone to yourself..;)
[Xperia Play General] replicant101:
Wow, some mixed views here huh?

I loved my Motorola defy and it was such a shame when it was stolen, I waited and waited for the Xperia play and it was a great phone. But my defy was perfect for my lifestyle (like in the advert) xD

However about the Xperia play, does anybody have the issue of two lines appearing on the controller? The slide has seemed to rub the grey off..
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
Not had that problem, my pad looks and feels perfect after extensive use :D
[Xperia Play General] narflynn619:
Exactly my point @Speedyink!
[Xperia Play General] Geeve:
Why do we have to make a 4 pages long thread just because a simple user switches his phone?
[Xperia Play General] Yourmama:
I have never seen a better phone for emulators :D I love the xperia play and to be honest I don't play the "xperia Play optimized" games that much apart from asphalt and other fun games, I get most enjoyment from the emulators I mean how many phones have hardware buttons just for gaming?
[Xperia Play General] sdlaurin:
Mine hasent rubbed off, its got a thick protective sheet of tar and nicotine on it. When i am sitting on the can playing a game if my smoke isnt dangling from my mouth its in my left hand next to the trigger button. Wow i wonder what my lungs look like. Is there an app for that?
[Xperia Play General] replicant101:
The person buying my xperia play pulled out... Oh well at least i'm not pregnant.
[Xperia Play General] sdlaurin:
Maybe he read this thread?
[Xperia Play General] speedyink:
There is two "dots" on the bottom of the controller and faint lines going up about 1/8 of an inch on mine. Then again, I got the phone like that, and it looks like the last person who had it put it through hell before they dropped it on the side of the road. Luckily A: this thing came with a screen protector, and B: it hasn't gotten a smidge worse since it's been in my hands.
[Xperia Play General] BinaryXeroMedia:
I have to say I do like the play but for me I wouldn't buy it as soon it will be outdated and slow. I am more of a nexus man really. Like my nexus s with nexus sense gives me loads of fun also I have the x10i and we have only just got the 2.3.3 update like 3 weeks ago if that. And that is what stopped me from buying the play. Not because of the phone itself but the company who made it. Sony Ericsson bring shame to the Android community by giving us buggy updates and updates like months after the official release by Google was like last year in December. Point proven. 8 months late. But the phone itself is a nice phone but its Sony Ericsson's phone. Shame.
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
The nexus s will be outdated before the play :rolleyes: its the current google developer phone, but soon the next one will be out, and the nexus s will be as "In" as the nexus 1 :D
[Xperia Play General] TLRtheory:
I can tell ya right now that you don't wanna use the X10 as judgment for your acceptance of the Xperia PLAY.

I say this because I too came from the X10i, and even rooted and primed up with the best versions of 2.3.3, not even ChainFire can put the X10 on a level where it's valid comparison for the outcome of the Xperia PLAY. Yeah, the X10 was slow as sin on getting new updates, but the Xperia PLAY showed that they turned over a new leaf quickly. Soon as I plugged it up, I was given a latest gingerbread so smooth and so good on battery life that I haven't even cared to root it.

Seriously, the performance of the Xperia PLAY dusts the X10, and even manages to keep up with my buddy's Atrix (a dual core phone) in fluidity and smooth framerate.

There is no field of performance that the Xperia PLAY doesn't perform spectacularly in... I know because I've put it to the test. As it is, the only true flaw with the Xperia play is their boneheaded decision to make it only have 400MB of phone memory (goes into effect as soon as you start noticing Gameloft eating 10-30MB per game).

...and that's easily remedied with a couple minutes in ADB.

It's not dual-core... but dual-core is overkill as-is, and you'd be extremely hard-pressed to find something the Xperia PLAY couldn't handle like a hot knife through butter.
[Xperia Play General] squall12:
hi guy,

the ADB app u mention can work on none root xperia play phone? Also can anyone provide me the link for the ADB mention on the android market.

Hi iam running stock rom rooted and been playing around with lcd density I know that the default is 240 but 160 looks better only problem is that lg launcher is all messed up.

Any recommendations on how to fix it ? Or use a better luncher ? Or is it not advaisablle to play with this at all?

Thanks

[Touch HD General] ThaiDai:
Hi,

when I install a WinMo build the NAND is reorganized into one partition using the complete memory.

I want to install a WinMo build on the first partition of a 3 partition layout without changing it. Like first 100 MB for WinMo and two more NAND partitions with 150 and 250 MB.

I generated a different partition layout with tinboot and then tested different ROMs from this forum and tried task 32 in BlackstoneAdvancedRUU.exe.

But in the end WinMo took every bit of the available NAND memory.

So my question: Does anybody here know if this is possible and can give me some hints how to do this?

Thanks and good night, ThaiDai

[HTC EVO 3D] djdisturbed:
well, from the photo they have up now, its only exposed if you don't have the last (optional, but included) layer on. I like having the butons exposed for normal use, then put on the outer layer when i know I might be someplace where i might need it (beach, lake, concert, ball game) to keep things out and protect from possible rain.
