all the roms i have tried don't support " -o iocharset=cp936,codepage=936 "

so, if you can use mouse & keyboard ,

you can use "mount -t vfat /dev/block/sda1 /sdcard/u" to mount udisk

but chinese files become "??"

the cheinese and ntfs need rebuild kernel to add support

maybe n0p will help us.

by the way ,in sd1.9.1 of dj_steve, it supports chinese file names,

but don't support " -o iocharset=cp936,codepage=936 "

i don't konw why

[Streak 5 General] hxcomchina:
that's a good question, any cable will burn your devics if you short circuit your cable, but don't worry, the OTG we launch will not.

if you fellow the right way for your cable, never burn.

if in wrong way, maybe.
[Streak 5 General] _n0p_:
hxcomchina, thank you!

I'm going to order on Monday.

Sorry to ask - who is Simon I should contact with? Is it manics by any chance? :)

About codepage support - if it should be enabled in kernel, we can do it. But I thought that ntfs holds filenames in utf-8, I might be wrong. And utf-8 is absolutely multilingual in it's base.

Thanks for the response manics. Ive tried tthe mount command but it returns No such file or directory error. I have also created an sda1 folder in /dev/block/... but still no luck. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for the help.
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
NTFS/fat32 supports UTF-16 names up to 255 chars each. (according to wikipedia they use UTF-16, which sounds right, Win NT family itself uses UTF-16 as it's native encoding from what I hear)

I'm going to say to simply stick with unicode the whole way through, but I have no idea how it works in this context.

I'm guessing it's not simple, as given the chance, you should never use anything but unicode as your encoding type.

Also mount is dependant on busybox isnt it? The one in SD 1.9.x may be old, try updating to the latest busybox.
[Streak 5 General] manics:
Was the light of your udisk on?

If not, that means your rom doesn't support otg.

You can connect a mouse to test it if your udisk doesn't have a light.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gtkansan:
I have been in contact with several friends of mine in the legal field who have direct friends in the class action field. They will be able to draft a complaint for us against HTC for their deceptive business practices. What we need is a list of those of us who have so far paid the actual 35 dollar restocking fee to AT&T because of this bootloader issue. I.e., we paid for the phone with the understanding that the bootloader would be unlocked per the statements of HTC's CEO. We purchased a phone with expectation of certain abilities and we are actively denied them. We are thus forced to return our phones and are charged a fee from AT&T/HTC.

I am assured that we will be able to mount a good attack on them because of these lies. Anyone willing to put their name down as representatives of the class? Im returning mine tomorrow and will be the first to sign my name on the dotted line with the receipt to prove that their deceptive business practices/outright lies by the CEO of the company have cost me 35 dollars.

Is it they Are not going to and Refuse to unlock the bootloader

OR

Are they saying it just isn't available

and will get around to it?

...Cause I have heard both....but don't really understand enough to know what the truth or what is actually happening...

Thanks
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ClippinWings:
a bit of both.

1. The CEO Stated on May 26th that HTC would "no longer be locking the bootloaders on our devices"

LIE Unlike Samsung, HTC Bootloaders are locked by default and users must jump through hoops, including signing away their right to warranty to unlock them... when an unlock is even available for their device

2. Many Devices, the HTC Vivid amongst them, have no unlock available

3. HTC's closest statement to an actual statement on the issue, is that they have no unlock available. They "continue to work with carriers to unlock devices"

4. AT&T sells Samsung phones unlocked by default, meaning this is not a carrier issue.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] StrangeShadow:
Thanks for the reply, yeah that would have been my next question, cause I know with some other carriers like sprint, It's the carriers decision.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] oneovakindoldys2:
Hello friends, I am new to this forum, but certainly not new to the tablet world. I purchased the iconia a100 a few weeks ago and I must say it is a superb tablet in almost everyway. That being said, I am trying to come up with a solution for the lacking usb host on this tablet. I am certainly not a dev, but I am wondering if there is anything in the works for a working usb host? Does anyone know if acer has any plans to offer an adapter or even a different docking station with the usb host working from the 40 pin? If anyone has any ideas or would like to start a project i will be glad to help in anyway I can. While i was researching this usb host problem i see that there was a very sinilar situation with the galaxy which has since been resolved. Any suggestions? Thanks
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] 6stringandy:
Not yet possible, but you can pretty much count on it to be baked into a custom ROM when we get the ability to fully unlock and root this device. Root is already possible, and done. Unfortunately, we cant really do much development on it right now due to the encrypted bootloader. Most devs are waiting for the ics update in January to get the ball rolling on tweaks and hacks to the a100.

Sit tight, they'll have you up and running in no time :)

ummmmm............ could you repeat that?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Diknak@gmail.com:
This is also #1 on my wishlist. However, I don't know if that is even possible with a custom ROM; it requires the hardware to support it and I don't recall seeing any teardown that states that it would be possible.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] 6stringandy:
I've seen it done in various phones, but don't know if its been posted on any here, but I'm sure a search on the forum would help find them. Its a matter of reconfiguring the port in the programming and getting an adapter from micro USB to standard USB.

But don't quote me on any of this, I could be mistaken with other devices. There has been talk about USB hosting on the a100 before.

ummmmm............ could you repeat that?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Diknak@gmail.com:
Yes, you would need something called an OTG (on the go) adapter. The hardware in the device has to support host, so it is not JUST software.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] oneovakindoldys2:
I can confirm that i have tried the otg adapter as well as other adapters...and it only works as slave. I would just like someone to confirm that usb host is possible [that the harware supports host capabilities]. I am just glad to see there are more people interested in fixing this problem as this tablet is superfast and top quality in every other way in my opinion. Thanks again

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] flar2:
I ordered an OTG cable and once it comes I will take a look at enabling USB host mode.

I am guessing that the hardware supports USB host, but will need a kernel module and some scripts to enable it.

I also suspect that the USB port will not supply power to an attached device. If this is the case, the workaround is to attach a powered USB hub to the OTG cable.

Crossing my fingers, and waiting for that OTG cable to come in the mail...
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
USB host is enabled in the kernel. Hardware does support USB host.

Acer left it off the board entirely, so I doubt much can be done without hardware modding, which I'm all for lol.

Tapatalked from my Galaxy S II.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] flar2:
Sounds grim if the hardware connection is not there, are we sure that the port is just not supplying power?

do the kernel modules load? (e.g. usb-hid, usb-storage)

Has anyone actually tried to:

a) insmod the correct modules

b) force change to host mode (the device probably has to be either slave or host, not both at once)

c) connect something (e.g. a mouse or a thumbdrive) through the otg cable and a powered usb hub?

At least I won't have to build a kernel to test this out.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
I know this comes up every now and then, I really dont know how far anyone gets before giving up. Feel free to try out whatever you want, while I don't care about USB host I know a lot of people do and would love an update on any progress anyone can make. Even if its just things that don't work.

Acer is generally lazy and cheap, we use the same kernel source as the a500 which has host, which is why we also have it. It could be modules, though I doubt its so simple. Also a powered hub would be needed, there is no power supplied to the port that anyone has found. This could be remedied with some hardware work I'm sure. The hub would also need to be one way, meaning not dumping power to host as I doubt the a100 will take it and without protection would likely suffer damage if the power pins are even hooked up.

The system itself runs at 12v though I'm sure there's a 5v rail someplace but if it can support powering anything past maybe a flash drive is unknown.

Take a visit to iconia-dev on free node, they'll know more of this then probably anyone here does lol

Tapatalked from my Galaxy S II.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] flar2:
The A500 does not implement USB otg, but rather a standard USB port. In other words, USB otg is not necessary for the A500 since it has a standard port. The USB otg standard allows a the port to act as both master and slave depending on the connection. In the A100 service manual, the schematic shows only one connection to the chipset (client), host is unconnected, which could be a problem. However, it is known that the Tegra 2 can support otg connections. I'm not certain, but it may be possible that by shorting pins 4 and 5 in the micro usb connector (ie, using an otg cable) and with the proper kernel level support, the A100 could still act as a USB host, albeit with no power supply to the micro USB port.

I'll continue to investigate this once I have a chance to build otg support into the kernel and recieve the otg cable.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Thanks for that, but one thing, its already in the kernel. However Linux society and/or waydownsouth would know more about what's in there, I just know it isn't blocked there. Modules etc I don't know. I look forward to seeing some progress on this topic.

Tapatalked from my Galaxy S II.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] flar2:
Pulled the kernel config from my tablet, you are correct, otg support is built into the kernel.

I'm using ezterry's kernel, almost everything is built in, there are only a few modules that have nothing to do with this.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] flar2:
I tested with an OTG cable, which shorts pins 4 and 5 in the micro usb connector. As expected, this did not enable USB host mode.

I tested wtih 5V going into the micro usb connection, as some of the non-powered devices need that voltage applied to activate the port, still nothing. (and no damage!)

I added a few other things to the kernel, the dmesg output changed slightly compared ezterry kernel

When connecting otg cable with 5V, dmesg shows:

tegra-otg tegra-otg: SUSPEND --> PERHIPHERAL

vbus connected, lock wakelock

android_work: did not send uevent (0 0 (null))
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] flar2:
In the possibility that USB host is not possible on the micro usb port, a hardware mod could be done. There are points for a mini PCI-E connector on the motherboard (this is where the 3G module would be for A101). Solder wires to pins 36 and 38 for USB data, 4 for ground and connect them to a usb port. The PCI-E only gives 3.3V, but power could be supplied by a powered hub instead. There is even space inside the unit to mount a micro usb connector on the end with the power button.

The main roadblock is that the solder points are on the back side of the pcboard so you have to fully disassemble the unit to remove the motherboard. It would actually be fairly easy to do if the points were showing when you remove the back cover.

I don't think I have the nerve to actually try this.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Well if you want to play it like that, you can use a mini pci-e > usb adapter, which is also available with and without sata too lol. It would, maybe, depending on the board used, even line up with the sim slot, so minimal case cutting would be needed to make it accessible for usb. Straight drop in for an A101, though we lack the actual slot for it. Might be something I'll try later on.

Edit: I forget, does the sim slot line up with the pci-e slot? Been awhile since I saw the inside of one, so I may be wrong on that point.
