[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agazza:
I love my phone but it.s getting a little old

i hope they will release a new good qwerty phone this year.

my wishlist is

bigger screen amoled, it doesn't bother me with the size

better hinges

more power, a real top of the line phone, with hoppefully the same overclocking capability :D

hdmi out for emulatorgaming

better and faster camera, the focus suxs

and a thick phone with a decent battery, none of this ultrathin crap

ARE THERE ANY PLANS THIS YEAR FOR SUCH A PHONE?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maus01:
your new phone looks expensive :D
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agazza:
Na, like with the desire z, i'll just wait until the first blond 14 year old girl buys it and then don't know how to use it, buys a iphone instead then sell it to me for little or nothing :)

I payed 210usd for this last year, almost new :0

(Tapatalk, phone)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xT4Z1N4TRx:
I'm also wanting to upgrade this yyear, probably going to get an android tablet next month, in which case, if there isn't a decent phone similar to this by july, ill wait for an iphone 5 ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agazza:
the droid 4 looks like they have the right idea, but its to thin, and i dont like when they waste so much space on the front, no need for buttons,

and i dont like when they make some parts of a phone thin and others thick.

bigger screen, bigger battery and this would be mine :D
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackknightavalon:
As I've said in numerous identical threads, get the MyTouch 4G Slide. We have overclock, our ROMs are mostly Sense-free with CM9 around the corner, and there is no hinge problem.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whippler:
I don't think mytouch lineup is even available here.. its ugly anyway. Droid 4 would be the phone to get atm, but i'm fine whit DZ for a year more @least..

For more power i'm getting android tablet once the new ones come out. Probably transformer prime, but first, i want to see whats the Lenovo tegra 3 tablet. I would like a proper stylus enabled tablet.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agazza:
that phone did not meet ANY of my requirements :/

Same here, thinking of the prime to, or to get an ultrabook, haven´t decided what i need.

if the droid 4 will be the only option im going to wait, but i love to buy gadgets :D
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackknightavalon:
Oh? A hinge problem is a prerequisite? :p
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agazza:
yes i really need that feature :D

no but, no hdmi, no big amoled, not really top of the line either :/

when it was new, i would have been on it, but not now

Hey guys... Has anyone with a view been able to use external hard drive with the view? ...i have powered usb hub and usb hard drive and htc data cable that came with view... What else do i need to make it work?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Works on Honeycomb with the Flyer, I assume the View is the same.

Only works if you have the drive attached at power up.

And you need a OTG usb cable / adaptor
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Kudzus:
Same here Flyer with HoneyComb

I bought a Nokia CA-157 cable here … http://www.amazon.com/NOKIA-CA-157-...O0QE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1326033116&sr=8-1

USB host works fine even with the unit turned on. Just plug it in and HoneyComb sees the drive automatically. Just remember to go to settings > storage and unmount drive when finished.

For me it was the cable that made the difference.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
I have not tested with the latest incarnation of HC, but I found in the past that if the OTG cable was not plugged in at boot, then it would not be recognized later if you attached it. You can plug in the drive later. Note that if you have a lot of media it can take a long time, (15 minutes or more) for things to show up in the gallery.

Also the Flyer will only recognize the first Fat32 partition on the drive if you have more than one.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] csvencer:
I have not been successful getting it to work with the view and honeycomb. I haven't tried restarting it with the cable in though. Any view owners get it to work?

-Svence
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Elfuente:
Usb OTG Cable

fat32

external powersupply

are crucial.

I never had this issue.

I use a 1TB harddisc, and yes it takes long (up to 1 minute), but sure never ever 15 minutes.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Time depends on how many and what type of media you have. I have 5000 photos and 8000 mp3s, plus 100 videos. It usually takes about 15 minutes FIRST time for the media to all show up in gallery.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] csvencer:
So still no one with a View. I don't see why it would be different, I'll be a little pissed if I can't get it to work.

-Svence
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bluebear13:
You could monitor logcat to see why the mount is failing.

I had to do this to for an external fat32 drive on my Flyer running Paul's Honeycomb stock leak. I mentioned on another thread concerning usb host that /mnt/sdcard/usb is the default mount point; Android won't create this folder if it's not there, so you just need to create it. I'm guessing you're just running into a similar problem.

As others have suggested, this only worked for a fat32 partition, mostly because it's basically automount, which is also the reason why there happens to be a default mount point. I guess you could try other file systems and mount points by mounting manually with busybox, but I haven't tried that. Has anyone had success with a manual mount?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jaguaralani:
Any ROM/KERNEL/Combination/Method to support USB OTG on Gingerbread ?

Any Stock Gingerbread Support ?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] csvencer:
So I should check to see if the mount folder is created and if not make one. Now wouldn't I at least get some acknowledgement that I plugged something in? Or is it all or nothing? Unfortunately I am on the road and won't have the OTG cable in hand for another week to try all this out.

-Svence
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Kudzus:
With my setup (Nokia CA-157 cable, powered hub and seagate drive) I get a quick popup … “Preparing Tablet Storage”

USB folder was created automatically
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] butterflygirl:
USB folder was created automatically on mine. Have successfully mounted Transcend card reader with a "y" cable and USB battery. No such luck with HDD formatted in ext3 (yes, I know it's supposed to be fat32). I have an empty 500gb HDD that I'll reformat to fat32 and try at some point. This is where my Archos g9 80 beats out the Flyer/View; I can mount

NTFS, ext3 or fat32 without external power.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bluebear13:
In principle, you could compile the module for the kernel you're running and just insmod it (if you have busybox and you're running a kernel that supports modules). The CM7 Gingerbread team on the Nook Color got host working, and I'm guessing that's where they started. I think the big hurdle is triggering host mode, which is also a problem in HC. Someone could probably contact the CM7 team and copy their procedures.

Now that you mention it, I'm not sure if the automount scripts were updated since Paul's HC stock leak; I haven't tried any other ROMs. It's possible you don't have to create the /mnt/sdcard/usb folder anymore....

You might need to go into Settings->Storage, and under the "USB storage" header, tap "Mount USB storage".
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Wrong........... the Flyer wins with a miraculous stroke. You see the Flyer and View were specifically designed NOT to do USB host, but by miraculous luck the chips used to support HDMI and USB debug happen to have the function available anyway so while you will not see HTC advertising USB host as an official feature , we get it anyway. There are scripts and utilites to mount NTFS, ext3 out there, just happens that Android default is Fat32
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
Does not work w/flash drives on View HC.

Why would anyone want to connect big HDD w/power supply to this tablet escapes me completely.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Kudzus:
:)

I have almost 40 gig of CAD files that I sometimes need to share with employees and clients.

I no longer need to carry a laptop … just a small portable hard drive, small hub and my Flyer

I use kWS web server https://market.android.com/details?...9yZy54ZXVzdGVjaG5vbG9naWVzLmFuZHJvaWQua3dzIl0. it’s free.

Next go to no_ip.com and set up a free account. After you have chosen your account name (like hxxp://myname.redirectme.net) go to account settings and check port80 redirect.

Now start kWS on your Flyer go to settings and set your dns server to no-ip.com and your username/password.

From here on all I have to do is plug in the drive and start kWS

they can now access that drive from any computer with an internet connection.

I also use the hub to read thumb drives.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Elfuente:
leave your box.

I was considering the archos 80 as well because of your mentioned reasons, but the size of it didn't match my criterias. (yes, size counts)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] butterflygirl:
Nope, not wrong...MY opinion. Ther are other ways the Flyer/ View is superior to the Archos. The View is my carry with me device and the Archos is my preferred ereading/media device.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
It was a joke.

But we are doing something that was never designed into the Flyer, so it;s hardly a fair comparison.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] csvencer:
All I really want to do is be able to hook up a card reader so I can download pics from the camera card. When I travel with my family and friends it would be nice to grab everyone's SD card at the end of the trip and dump the pics on the View and not have to worry about getting them later. Still not sure if this is possible or not, but I figure the first step is getting something to work on the USB port.

-Svence
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
Hmm..small portable hard drive being a key words. Not big external HDD with big power supply.

Although any Windows-based netbook with 320-500GB HDD would do a job faster and much simpler.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Kudzus:
Yes it would and has in the past. But then I would lose the scribe pen (I have to take a lot of notes) and the smaller form factor. I only get the hard drive out when needed.

If you’ve ever walked the pits at Talladega for 12 hours in 95 degree heat you would really appreciate the smaller device.

Not saying it’s for everyone, just works for me
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Since most cameras use Fat32 formatted SD memory, you could certainly hook up a card reader to the Flyer. The problem is that the Flyer will never supply power to the USB device, not designed to do that , cannot be software enabled, so you have to have a powered hub. There are a very few battery powered hubs out there. Or you could use a HDD Y USB cable and a rechargeable auxiliary battery USB supply. Plenty of those on the market.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] deaglecat:
USB host does not work for me - with official HC release and OTG cable.

It is a pity because it was a key reason for taking the plunge with HC.

HTC pulled the support at the last minute - according to a thread in the flyer forum.

Sucks !
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] butterflygirl:
Sorry if I was a little testy :o

---------- Post added at 04:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:41 PM ----------

I was able to hook up my transcend card reader. I supplied power to the reader with a USB "y" cable and a USB battery
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
I see.

Now it makes perfect sense.

However, I still cannot connect portable laptop drive to my View.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] MarsWarrior:
I was unsuccessful in getting Chainfire's DSLR Camera Remote Release to work in Honeycomb!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
These rechargeable power sources could be used for USB host of a device using a Y cable

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] csvencer:
Did you have to do the modification where you cut the red wire heading back into the Flyer so it didn't think it was getting charged/hooked up to the computer?

-Svence
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
You don't have to cut anything. It does not matter if the Flyer thinks it hooked to a charger, USB host still works, other than the Flyer might actually use some of your battery power.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] deaglecat:
It does not matter what you do if you have the official HC. USB host does not work.

Earlier leaks may fare better ?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
USB host does work on HTC official HC , what makes you say it does not?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Kudzus:
+1 works for me
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
So now we need the rechargeable batteries in addition to the device and tablet.

Isn't this a bit too much for true portability?

Oh well for each their own I guess.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] deaglecat:
Practical experience. Have tried with all my thumbdrives, USB Y connection to 2.5 HDD.

Nothing... nada... rien.

Mount USB remains greyed out in the settings menu.

Also the thread on the flyer forum says no go for that device with official HC.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
That's what it takes if you want this to work. The Flyer was not designed to do USB host. Personally I don't need USB host for anything, I use Dropbox and micro Sd cards, but some people have a need.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Kudzus:
You just need to use a hub that will supply power to the device you are trying to connect.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
I understand.

I would love to have a "real" USB host on my View. But it is not an option. I'll live with microSDHC for now.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
There is very little that having a powered USB host port would help with other than mass storage like hard drives. Anything else that is possible to attach on an Android system can more easily be done with Bluetooth due to the limited number of device types that are actually supported. In other words, all you could attach anyway are storage, keyboard, mouse. Everything else requires special drivers that are not included in Android, so "real" is a relative term. It's not like a PC or full Linux OS.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] deaglecat:
I stand corrected... but it is blooming fussy ! I now have a rig that works.

Does anyone have a USB thumbdrive working without extra power... ?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
I don't think the Flyer can supply even enough power for any thumb drive. Possibly for a very rare one that is truly low low power, but I doubt it. It certainly does not work for most.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Kudzus:
Someone mentioned there was some power at the port on the flyer, but not enough to run anything. Not even a thumb drive.

Which leads me to believe that maybe, just maybe it could be increased in the rom or kernel.

Not sure where I read that. I’ll see if I can find it.

Edit: DigitaMD … You beat me to it :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dburckh:
Got it working!

This is what I needed:

Honeycomb (I think)

microUSB male to USB female ($4.50 amazon)

USB Y with one female and 2 male (one power, one data). These are used on USB drives for extra power. I had one. ($2 on amazon)

Powered USB 2.0 hub ($6 amazon)

Connect the mess.

Plug the USB hub into the wall.

Plug the power only male (the thin one) of the Y cable into one of the hubs female connections.

Plug the hub into the female end of the Y.

Plug the data cable male (the thicker one) into the micro->USB adapter.

Plug whatever you want into the free ports on the hub.

Plug the mess into the View.

Ok, I didn't say it was easy. Anyway, the key seems to be getting power to the View, after that, everything works.

Notes:

I saw some post saying it requires connection on boot. I can add things on the fly. If I remove them, I can reset the whole thing by disconnecting the microUSB from the View and reconnecting.

I can only seem to mount one Fat32 usb device at a time. This seems to be an Android limitation.

Tried a couple of USB sticks and it worked great. One of SD readers didn't work. My multi-reader didn't work, but I assume that was due to #2. My HDD was recognized, but didn't mount (assume because it's NTFS), Keyboard and mouse worked!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
You do not need the Y cable if you are using a powered hub

Android will only mount the first Fat32 partition it sees, no matter how many devices you attach or if you attach a storage device with multiple partitions.

There are some utilities on the market that might be able to mount other storage formats or switch partitions. I have not tried them.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dburckh:
Well maybe yours does, but mine does not. Mine will not work unless I power the Y adapter. I just tested it. It may be possible that your hub sends power to the parent and the children. Mine only powers the children (which seems more electrically sound). Does your View charge when the hub is connected? That will tell you.

As for the second point, it might be stated better as Android will only mount one partition per USB port. I just mounted two USB devices on my wife's Transformer (one on each port).

I have run into this before. Thanks for heads up. FYI: The transformer would not mount both devices connected to the hub.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
No, My hub does not supply power to the Flyer.

In your case then you do not need the hub, unless you want to connect more than one device at a time , just use the Y cable
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Kudzus:
My hub doesn’t supply power to the flyer either. Just plug hard drive/flash drive into the powered hub. Then using the OTG cable plug the hub’s output into my flyer.

Flyer does not charge so, no power is going to it. Working great.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dburckh:
Hmmm. It is an old crappy hub, maybe the hub needs the power and not the View (seems odd on a powered hub).

I probably could get away without the hub using the just Y cable, but I still need something to power the keyboard/flash reader. For some reason, I'm uncomfortable powering the connector. It seems wrong to me.

I'll play around some more tonight. It's working really well. I know it won't recognize NTFS, but has anybody tried FAT64(exFAT)?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Got to be Fat32 unless you use one of the mounting apps that can handle other formats. I have not tried them.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] csvencer:
So I got it to work on a Evo View. I had a spare Male USB - Male USB - Mini USB cable lying around, plus the OTG adapter and I hooked that up to a hub with a thumb drive plugged in and it worked. The hub was the only mini USB thing I had to get this to all work so I am hoping a SD card reader will work like the thumb drive will. I just need a Male, male, female USB cable to try it out. It shouldn't be a problem, right?

-Svence
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dmunnik:
This thread is about connecting drives through the USB port of the flyer, I'm trying to connect a HD camera (Casio) through it. Has anyone got that working? The camera itself is powered, it's connected through a micro to USB connector, which connects the camera through a common USB cable.

Tried several options, but get no reaction on my Flyer (HC 16GB wifi only).

Any help would be appreciated.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Just because there's a USB port doesn't mean you can connect any USB device and expect it to work. Android only includes basic device drivers in it's build. Fat32 storage, Keyboard, mouse are just about it without some custom work. No drivers for anything else, so if you connect something else, it will be ignored.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dburckh:
Been a while, but here's the update. Powered Y cable alone won't work. I need the hub. I order a new one, maybe it will work without power to the device. I also noticed that the View really finicky about the format of the SD cards. I had one that would not work, reformatted it and it worked fine.

No dice on exFAT. I tried ext4 and that didn't work either (I was kind of surprised there).

I picked up a cheap game controller at MicroCenter and it works great with Mame4Droid. Very excited to play 1943. :)
[Acer Iconia A500] apapousek:
Hello all,

I'm getting prepared to upload my Alpha 2 port of Bodhi Linux for our Iconia. The thread for the original release is here. In the next few days, I'll be uploading the files to my server, writing up guides, and taking any questions. I highly recommend installing a GNU/Linux distribution before even attempting this. Using Linux in a VirtualBox *should* work, but I can't promise that. As usual, if this product bricks your device, it's not my fault. By attempting to use this release, you agree that it is not my fault. The same goes for instantaneous combustion, natural disasters, and acts of God.

New Features:

New recovery.img compiled using the Iconia, not at x86 processor (dunno if this means anything)

The ability to download, compile, and install the kernel/modules right from the device, no computer needed (after initial installation).

mkbootimg and mkbootfs

Scripts to automate grabbing the files needed for WiFi to work

Untested (May work, but I didn't have time to play with):

Bluetooth

Sound

3D acceleration

Here are the links needed to get started (not done yet):

[Guide] Installing Bodhi Linux onto the Iconia

[Guide] Compiling/Installing your own kernel!

[Download] Bodhi Linux for Iconia

[Download] recovery.img

[Download] Kernel Source

Screenshot

I'd like to thank everyone who made Alpha 2 possible, including all kernel devs, etc. I'd also like to thank Jeff over at the Bodhi Linux forums.

Please ask as many questions as you'd like, even before Alpha 2 is released.

UPDATE:

The image is now up. Use gparted to partition your micro sd as follows: at least 1.5 GB (i think, it could be more) as the first partition, ext4 format. Name that partition "bodhi". Partition 2: atleast 128 MB, fat32 format. When done, mount partitions. Extract the bodhi tarball to the root of your card. Do it like this:

sudo su

cd /media/bodhi/

tar -jxvf /home/name/bodhi_alpha2.tar.bz2

Then type in ls, you should see etc , home, and the like. If you see a folder, you did it wrong.

Copy recovery.img to the 2nd partition. In Acer Recovery Installer, flash it using this custom image. Copy your nvram.txt to the card as well. Reboot into recovery. Enter the terminal. Type in setupwifi . This will copy nvram.txt to the correct place. I'll be writing up some official guides to get this working. BTW, what do you guys think of Plasma Active Two?

UPDATE (23 / 02 / 2012) : Bodhi will be on the backburner for a while. I've school stuff to do, and will be playing around with the leaked ICS.
[Acer Iconia A500] loband_ml:
It is very good:)

- Have you tested backlight regulating?

- Can you patch the kernel to overclock tegra?
[Acer Iconia A500] chaosking121:
Do you still need an 8 gig micro sd card for this? you mentioned something in alpha 1 about that being fixed in later versions. I really want to try this on an old 4 gb sd card so hopefully that might be enough :D

Great work btw! keep it up!
