Hi

I have a rooted MT4G with Virtuous Unity Sense 3.0 ROM. I wanted to know is there is a way to connect MT4G to a pico projector (I have Optoma PK301)?

Any Cable/converter - App combination that can help me?

I am planning to use it for outing for watching movies from my phone with portable speakers.

Thanks.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokeuout:
not sure about a pico but ive seen people connect there phone to projector..i dont have specifics cause i really didnt care but it didnt seem worth it. if u have a laptop itll be 20× better
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Archangel:
Most of the roms for our phone don't have the video out option built in. Some do, can't remember which one. I did see a cord online, where it has a video an audio connectors. Not sure what your projector uses.

If I helped, give thanks( via the button :) )

From my fist to your face, enjoy!

For the "old" Atrix 4G, there is a thread regarding USB Host, without a dock.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=997187

Can the same be done with the Atrix 2 (buying the USB hub and the OTG adapter)? I assume getting WebTop app requires rooting? Can the USB OTG still be used without rooting?

If not using WebTop app, is there any advantage going this route, versus just using a bluetooth keyboard/mouse ? Maybe just so that I can copy files to a disk key?

I'm just envisioning using something like this while visiting a relative or staying at a hotel - hooking the phone up to a TV, to be able to do things.

Thanks
[Motorola Atrix 2] moofree:
Yes, it works on the atrix 2. I've gotten usb mass storage, keyboards and mice to work. All before the root was available.

The only problem I have with it is minecraft pocket edition doesn't support remapping the input to keyboard+mouse. :p

Oh- also I had to shave a little plastic off the side of the OTG adapter for the HDMI cable to fit at the same time.

I would suggest going the bluetooth route unless you need usb mass storage or usb ethernet.

The mess of wires can get pretty bad...
[Motorola Atrix 2] RogerThis:
Hmmm... I need help here.

I have this set up:

- Micro USB On-The-Go Host OTG Adapter

- The USB male split into two cables: power ( 5v + GND) and data (d+, d- , GND)

It's fully functional, on my Touchpad running CM9 and WebOS. But doesn't work on my atrix 2.

What the thread on the OP is suggesting is you have to put the 5v on the data cable too ?

-------------------

yeah, just did it. It works and still charges the cellphone! \o/
[Motorola Atrix 2] moofree:
When I tested it, I used a hub. Thankfully the hub's included cable has a third lead coming off with only 5v and ground connected, so it was a perfect match.

I've spliced up a cable to test the way you have it. Unfortunately, even with 5v+gnd hotwired, I haven't been able to get it to work without a hub between the usb otg adapter and the usb device.

This suggests that Motorola only really wants you to use usb host mode with the official lapdock or docking station, etc.
[Motorola Atrix 2] RogerThis:
Strange... The modified cable worked fine to me.

an usb keyboard worked with the cable and even an unmodified usb hub.

So you have a hub with a second cable only for power? Do you have a link ?
[Motorola Atrix 2] moofree:
Just tried it and you're right about the keyboard. It works when connected directly.

Till this point I had only been trying USB storage and mice.

This kinda makes me think this is just a software deficiency that could be worked around. :)

As far as the hub goes, it's just a 4 dollar hub I found at goodwill.

After a little research, I found out what it is but it's discontinued of course. Any usb hub should work, the trick is the Y cable.

The hub linked to on dealextreme in that Atrix thread is wired in a way analogous to this.
[Motorola Atrix 2] extide:
Can you guys explain a bit more about these modified cables and the Y adapter cable? Like, exactly what cables do I need, and what modifications need to be done.

Thanks!
[Motorola Atrix 2] RogerThis:
Man!, I use this site a lot and never saw this hub! Thanks!

The self made Y cable is fine, I just want a better solution without semi-naked wires hanging around. =)

To the Atrix act as a host all you need is that OTG adapter metioned earlier. But, mobile devices don't provide power to "guest" devices. So, you need to power the usb device with a external source.

You have 2 options:

- Self powered HUB. Actually that's not enough. You'll need to power the USB pin 1 on the cable connected to the atrix to active the Host mode. That's why that hack (wire soldered) on the atrix 1 thread.

- The Y cable. As I described before is a normal USB cable powered by other USB cable. Ex: http://www.amazon.com/Apricorn-Power-Adapter-Cable-AUSB-Y/dp/B000JIOHDE

On our scenario, one will provide the data communication and the other the power. So, the data cable you will connect to the atrix and the other to a PC or the atrix charger.

I hope I made myself clear in a not so bad english.

If you buy a Y cable, you'll only need the OTG adapter ( http://dx.com/micro-usb-on-the-go-host-otg-adapter-pair-50774 ) and any usb hub.

If you want to make the cable, only 2 USB cables.

If you want to modify an USB hub. Just any hub and a cable.

I'm modifying an USB hub, I'll post pictues and I get home.

Rechargeable battery powered usb hub with otg cable

I was able to make myself a battery powered usb hub with an otg micro end on the cable and its rechargeable. All for $10
[Motorola Atrix 2] dzr:
Using the USB host adapter and a y splitter, which I power via USB to AC adapter I can use a keyboard / mouse. I am unable, though to access a USB memory stick or the like. Looking at the Atrix 4G forums of people who did similarly - pre the latest firmware, the Atrix 4G needed to use manually mounting - which I assume needs root. But, the latest Atrix 4G automounts. But, I have a Atrix 2 with the latest firmware... and no automounting. Any ideas?

Thanks
[Motorola Atrix 2] Enny2:
I have the Micro USB OTG Adapter ( product B005N55WHI on amazon ) + the Y cable ( product B003HHK576 on Amazon ).

I put on the red plug of the Y cable a portable USB battery (phone detects it and is charging).

On the end of the Y cable I have my camera.

When I check with USB Hostdiagnostic it detects the USB device (my camera) but not the app I want to use it with. The USB host diag shows that at Android API Claims support and Classes found is NO and Device detected is N/A .

What am I missing?

Update:

USB Mouse and keyboard works.

atrix2 - pendrive auto mount

Like above, I too have same issue with Atrix2(pendrive not getting detected / mounting), whereas mouse & keyboard work fine. can anybody help.
[Motorola Atrix 2] moofree:
You need to use a usb hub between the splitter cable and the usb drive.
[Motorola Atrix 2] chistysyed:

Hi.................

It works, thanks a lot......

Hope same logic works for connecting USB printer as well .

:D
[Motorola Atrix 2] NHS2008:
I didn't have a female to female adapter. But I found an ancient internal USB hub that works just fine!

in fact, I am posting this through the ATRIX 2, typing this with keyboard!! :D

Anyway to get USB controller to work?? the generic dual-shock II clone.
[Motorola Atrix 2] SPYWARE_Holdings_Janath:
i have drawn a simple diagram using paint which i have understood by reading through out this thread,

is it correct?

and i have spotted a question in the diagram which asking for a Y splitter. is this is the one which called Y splitter or something else?

thanks

EDIT

and for the records is this OTG cable will work this atrix 2?
[Motorola Atrix 2] NHS2008:
That cable is right. but diagram is not.

Yes. It auto-mounts for me too.
[Motorola Atrix 2] SPYWARE_Holdings_Janath:
oh i see..thanks for the clarification..i will try it as soon as i got the OTG & Y split cable..just now ordered!! :good:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jason370:
I recently discovered that ATT gophone (prepay or pay as you go) for android phones is only 50/month and everything is unlimited...voice/text/data. There is no way you can go over any limits, even if you tried to.

Can anyone verify this is actually the case and if they use this?

Apparently you have to purchase an additional data plan if you are using IOS or WP7, but not Android. I'd love to know if anyone knows why this is the case.

I'm currently on tmobile im paying over 100/month, but the 3g limitations on the GNote is maing me switch to att, thankfully. This should cover the cost of the note in less than one year.

Thanks,

Jason

45 mo/ 4GB Plan
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jason370:
can you please elaborate?

is that under contract, pre pay, post pay?

why wouldnt you for for the 50/month all unlimited prepay instead?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Techvir:
I think its his/her enterprise data plan.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] leaverus:
My Note's on the way - should be here on tuesday. Meanwhile, my 2 yr verizon contract ends tomorrow, so i signed up with at&t. I picked the post-paid month-to-month plan that includes 450min. + unlimited data (for non-smartphones) which would bring my monthly bill to $70. I was thinking of doing the $50 gophone thing but then i read that coverage not as extensive, speed throttling on prepaid, etc. so i'd rather just spend the little extra for the benefits of postpaid.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] AnandA777:
Sorry to break it to you, but I don't think that it works like that. The $50.00 unlimited plan only provides unlimited data for non-smartphones. You can get that plan with an Android phone, but if you do, you will have no Internet access. If you don't talk much and don't use too much data, you could go with the $25.00/250min plan plus the $25.00/500MB data plan. (Source: I just chatted with a support rep.)

Personally, I'm hoping that they either release a US-compatible CDMA version in the near future, or that the people in this thread succeed in getting the existing Note to run on T-Mobile. If either happens soon, I will probably import one immediately.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Grandfathered $30/mo unlimited data plan for me. Good thing too, because I usually go through 10+GB of data per month!! Netflix, YouTube, Pandora and Google Music. Make sense now?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jason370:
So your bill at the end of the month is $30 plus tax? Is there a voice anf text plan or is this all inclusive? This is through att and if so is pre or post pay?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xAnimal5:
He has the grandfathered Unlimited Data Plan. It's $30/month on your bill. It stopped being obtainable about 1 year ago.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jason370:
Yes I am crystal clear on the $30/ month part for unlimited data. I'm ado quite clear on the definition of grandfathered in this context. This however does not answer my question regarding

1) which service provider(I'm assuming ATT, but I'm not sure)?

2) does this also include voice and text or does he have those plans in addition to his grandfathered 30/month data plan?

Thanks,

Jason
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kuaka:
This is patently false. I've been on the non-smartphone data with AT&T for over 3 years using a variety of imported, unlocked smartphones (android and otherwise).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jason370:
Well that's good news for me then. Do you have full internet capabilities? Also could you tell me which plan, provider, pre or post pay?

Thanks!

Jason
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xAnimal5:
Sorry, misread.

He's probably on VZW or AT&T and the Grandfathered Data Plan is just for data.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kuaka:
I am post-paid on AT&T, 450min/mo @ $39.99 + $10 unlimited data for non smartphones (MEdiaNet) + $20 Unlimited texting / mobile to mobile calling. If you search about there are a ton of people on AT&T doing this. The caveat is that your IMEI number cannot be in AT&T's system as a smartphone. That means you need to use an international market unlocked phone. There are people doing this with Galaxy SII and you don't need root or anything else.

Also, if you are bringing your own hardware (GNote) you don't need to sign a contract either (even post-paid) so you can quit whenever you want. Just get a SIM and activate it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ameedi600:
You can always go to T-Mobile and do the $50 prepaid contract that does unlimited talk, text, and web. But you have to provide your own cell phone or purchase one from them or elsewhere. This is a really good deal, it also gives 4g if you have a 4g phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kuaka:
Sadly, T-Mo uses AWS frequencies for HSPDA that aren't available on the Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jason370:
Ok so why wouldn't you do the 50/month prepay (att) which has unlimited voice/text/data and use the same dumbphone imei?

It seems you currently pay 69/month with some limitations.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mclife:
My Note is arriving this week. I am planning to use Straight Talk following this wiki:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 513263337:
Right now if the battery level is below certain point, the brightness setting and stand-by time setting get automatically set by the system, and cannot be changed.

I don't know what app or what part of the system is doing this for me automatically. I unchecked "power saving mode" and still.

This is very frustrating. I understand the phone may THINK it's helping me save battery but in fact the brightness I want and I usually set is even LOWER than the auto value the phone sets for me. And besides, I don't like the idea that MY phone is being controlled by someone/something else and I don't have an option to disable that something.

Someone please shed some light?

Edit:

Note that this is NOT the "power saving mode". I disabled "power saving mode" and still this problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] G1_enthusiast:
this is the last 5% of battery correct?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 513263337:
I don't know the number right now. I'll keep an eye on phone as the battery drops and let you guys know the exact threshold that triggers this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 513263337:
If it's some system app that's doing this, I have no problem freezing it using Titanium Backup just like how I freezed "Tethering Manager" to enable wifi hotspot and I freezed "My Account" so that 3G doesn't come on when wifi is connected.

Just don't know which app it is...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] G1_enthusiast:
have you flash other roms to see if it go away? i think jug 2.0 take away this problem
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 513263337:
And the even more ridiculous thing about it is that it auto sets the stand-by time to 30 seconds, and after I charge the battery to above the threshold it doesn't change the stand-by time back to where you set it! You have to change it back yourself.

sounds exactly like pwer saving mode!! its in the settings
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Monk4Life:
This isnt power saving mode causing this. Power saving mode is turned off and this still happens to me once my battery hits like 10%. This is built into the rom somewhere and the vibrant had the same thing. One of the devs for the vibrant was able to disable this setting in their rom so maybe the devs can do the same here. Again this is not power saving mode which can be set at certain levels that you would like.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kt0ce:
Yeah once it reach 5%, the autobrightness become very bright and doesn't change..I have tested it on all ROM..and it's not the powersaving..I think it drain the battery really fast to help mentation the health of the battery..just guessing though..and stock ROM is more sensitive than jnault ROM..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 513263337:
You guys are right. It's not the power saving mode. This happens even when I turn OFF my power saving mode. It's something else in the system that's doing this, and yes, the auto brightness the system sets is even brighter than what I previously set myself. So, what a useful feature!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] King_Paladin:
mine does the right thing, opposite of what your phones are doing. im guessing at about 5% battery life, the display sets itself pretty close to the lowest (if not the lowest) brightness setting, even with my power saving mode option unchecked. i wonder if the auto adjust screen power has something to do with it, since i got that checked all the time. but maybe not. im running on beastmod 1.0 rom.
