Offtopic, but in regards to the bluetooth PS3 controller. I was searching but I couldn't find any guides on how to get the pair code for the device. Do you have to do it within Linux or can it be done within Windows?

On topic, I've purchased a bluetooth controller and I can't wait to play my emulators. :D

were u able to mount that 2gb stick without a powered hub? I can mount anything I want with the powered hub but nothing without it.

USB OTG

Hy,

Same here, unable to mount usb stick using USB OTG Cable without having external hub.

The USB OTG cable is working fine on my Galaxy Note.

I've tried several ROM on the kindle fire with kernel #8 but none of them make USB OTG work.

Anyone here can give a clue please ?

Thanks a lot
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovejoy777:
it won't work without additional power, the kernel has a safety feature for the amount of power that can be drawn,

linux doubles the safety thresh hold, so a kernel mod could see this safety margin dropped (It's in the hands of the gods/devs:-))

I can mount my 32gb flashdrive without additional power but when I try to open it up it appears to be empty:-(

tried mounting gnex as storage for the kindle (adb show's up on gnex & phone mounts on kindle as a ptp device, I can view/move all gnex photo's but that seems about it)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttakacs:
Correct -- I do not need a powered hub. And, I am able to view the file list and open files on the stick, and I moved a folder from the stick over to /sdcard.

Updated ... inserted the stick this morning and nothing happened! However, I powered down the Fire and restarted a couple of times and then it worked fine.

its the power draw.

I got my phone to mount with a powered hub, I guess we need something like this http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=160779364192&index=2&nav=SEARCH&nid=09307631192

it is a powered hub, chargeable by sun/solar/USB. im not sure how long it'll hold that power, but another month wait from china. :/
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smirkis:
I also just ordered this. dunno if it will work or not but we will see. the adapter is supposed to increase the power of the USB port for a higher draw device. gonna see if it increases the power for connected devices.

thanks for all the feedback on this thread

there's another similar product

http://www.amazon.com/RAVPower-RP-U...C5FU/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1336059306&sr=8-3

That one above has a button to switch between sync and charge modes.

Based on the comments, the XMultiple one cannot sync/charge (and ipad at least) at the same time:

"These connectors apparently use the little-known specification for "charging only" USB service. This provides up to 9 watts (5 VDC x 1800 mA) of power by placing a 200 ohm resistor across the D+ and D- pins." - so this may prevent the ability to mount/use the usb stick

i should be getting my refurb kindle tomorrow, and i ordered a one of the otg cables from amazon, since i have prime it was pretty cheap at $3.99, will comment back on usb drives (i have a 512Kb, 4gb, 2 16gb, and two microsd adapters)

my guess is drives >8Gb are hit or miss depending on their draw needs (based on my experience with an ipad2 + cck connector + ifile) - so it would be really helpful to start posting what drive make/model/size you have that worked w/o a powered hub
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leswgnr:
I also bought a microusb otg cable from ebay here and using stickmount and a powered USB hub used a 16gb USB drive - worked 1st time. Can read an write both from and to it no problem. Without the hub, there wasn't, enough power for the drive to light up. The hub is a mini-tardis and makes the tardis taking off noises when you insert a USB device in it. My wife bought it for my birthday several years ago-now I finally have a reason to use it!

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smirkis:
that would be the power draw. some sticks need a powered hub.

i was browsing over at the touchpad forums (i dont have a tp) but they seem to have the same issue - otg support but no power to the usb port

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motioneso:
I have the exact same cable and charger and it does work, but it is not consistent. The first time I plugged it in it worked perfectly, but if I tried to swap devices it wouldn't recognize the new device and then would stop recognizing the original device too. I feel like it may drain the AA batteries extremely fast and then cause there to not be enough power.

if u Google usb2.0/1.1 flash drive. you will get a list of 2.0/1.1 compatible flash drives. these should be low power 3.3v draw flash drives. I've seen some as large as 16gb. I'll be looking for some at frys tomorrow n report back.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motioneso:
Having a little more luck with USB hub and the AA USB Charger today. Here is a list of what I'm using:

- USB Battery Charger

- 4-port USB Hub

- USB Y Power Cable

I'm testing it with a 4GB Attache drive and a 16GB Kingston drive. While it is still rather inconsistent, I'm finding better steps to get it working. The 4 port hub has little power switches for each port, so I'm able to turn on and off the drives as needed (and have found that if the drive isn't recognized turning off that port and turning it back on helps.) I've had better luck mounting using USB Host Controller from the play store than stickmount. The battery charger does drain pretty fast, so I'm thinking about picking up This Duracell charger instead.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barrmulio:
my update

i have the same equipment as motioneso without the hub (ie just the y cable and usb charger) - as he mentioned usb host controller seems to be a better bet

working perfectly:

- centon 16gb

- adata 4gb

- pny 512mb

- some generic tradeshow 2gb

not working

- microsd card reader from lexar or kensington

(tried 8gb, 16gb, and 32gb cards)

card shows in the connected usb devices but no mount option is presented under mass storage

- phone (moto bionic)

with charger, it will trigger the usb prompt on the phone, but no matter what usb type is selected it only shows under connected usb devices without a mount option under mass storage
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barrmulio:
update - someone replied to me on another otg thread

the usb microsd adapter worked with all the diff sized cards (8gb, 16gb, 32gb) with off a generic usb hub...so the setup was:

otg adapter -> y cable output

usb power -> y cable power

hub -> y cable input

usb cards, microsd adapter, phone -> 4 port hub
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jubalh:
AFAIK, most android phones will not 'show their goods' unless they are getting 5v at 200 or 300 mA at the connector with a valid data line.

I managed to get my Kindle to connect via USB to my HTC One X via a powered USB Hub. However, the One X would only show the 'mount as USB storage' option during Kindle boot, not after. There is clearly something happening during Kindle boot (probing USB probably) that kicks off the phone's recognition that it's plugged into a computer rather than just charging.

So, for those of you having problems; connect your phone via powered hub to the Kindle and reboot the Kindle while keeping an eye on your phone for the USB storage prompt. Select USB storage, and all should work.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maw230:
Update:

If you're having the problem of no audio out with the 90 degree otg cable, just get out your favorite sharp knife and cut all of the rubber away. Once that is done you can easily bend the cable to 180 degree and tape it up.

If you use Google voice it will cause that. Make sure when you first reinstall a rom don't add any apps... run it and see if its laggy. If not install your apps you always use one at a time... if after installing one Ans you notice lag you got your culprit. GV used to do this to my aria

then flash stock gingerbread

factory reset your phone

then flash the kernal in the same thread

(format your external sd in your pc, then put it back in your phone and format it with your phone)

remember to back up things on the phone, then move them over to your pc before you start this process, because EVERYTHING on your phone will be wiped

then flash a rom again, from this clean of a state it should fix pretty much anything.

Before ive ran lots of different roms with no problems, ive been running cm7 for a few months now and its just now starting to act like this. I must have installed a bad file or something.

Hey guys I just got my tab yesterday and wanted to try deodexing/zipaligning the lastest stock firmware LA3. I've tried a few ways to dump the files myself but had no success in doing so. Can anyone provide a tar file or .zip of it for me? Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Ceelos09:
We dnt have the .tar LA3 file. Only way we can get it is if we get someone to leak it to us.

A clean system dump would probably be the best option. What method did u try for the system dump?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Numpangx:
Ohs I see. How would I go about to get a clean system dump? I tried the method linked here using adb and using the following commands

adb push romdump /data/local/

adb shell chmod 04755 /data/local/romdump

adb shell /data/local/romdump
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Ceelos09:
I believe ODIN has a dump feature as well. Not sure if that would work. I'm not too sure as to why that's not working. Maybe someone else more educated in the matter could chime in. I might look around for another method as well, seeing as how I wanted to create a deodexed/zipaligned LA3 zip at one point as well :p
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Numpangx:
I didn't even know it had that feature. I'll try and see if that works later today.

So I tried using odin to do it but I couldn't check the dump button. Also read that it doesn't work or was disabled?

Can someone please tell me what is considered "normal"?

Mine runs at about 55 constantly, is this dangerous?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Hi,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1557494&highlight=cpu+temp

For example,there is another threads...

55°C is not dangerous and I doubt it runs constantly at 55°C,in sleep?when your browse on the net?when you watch a movie?or just when you naviguate in settings?

So,normal if you have this CPU temp while browsing or whatching a video,not very normal if your just naviguate in settings since 10 mins... (according to the CPU freq?) or if your phone is in sleep since 10 mins (if you do not download anything)->wake up and you see 55°C...:eek:

While it is charging?

The CPU temp limit is at 64°C (if you don't modify it),above thermal throttling,reboot...

And it's with stock kernel?custom kernel (CPU freq?voltage?),what are you doing exactly with your phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stretlow:
Thanks for the response mate. :)

I flashed Franco M3 last night and was admittidly browsing a lot before I went to bed and this morning.

Looking at it now where its been sat on my desk at work for a while its hovering around 35.

Again appreciate the response mate, Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Re,

Ok,for me no problem with your CPU temp,normal ;)

Also,depending to the current ambient temperature...

In sleep,for example since 10 mins?without touching it?

Mine in sleep is at 22°C in my home (current ambient temperature about...24°C).

In extreme use (for example during a bench :D:p) go to about 86°C...

In browsing about 55-56°C.

In light use (setting my home screen for example) about 40°C.

For example with System Tuner pro you can follow in real time your CPU temp (with graph).

Running at 1.42Ghz actually.

And in normal use I settled my CPU temp limit to 75°C (stock is 64°C),I feel that by increasing the CPU temp limit the phone heats a little less.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stretlow:
This makes me feel better!! im nowhere near that!!!

Always wonder on these forums and dont take this the wrong way but is their any other point than upping your benchmark by overclocking.

Do you have any noticeable difference in performance thats worth the loss in battery.

Thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ashclepdia:
I'm just curious because what you said confuses me lol but, how exactly would INCREASING temp limit make the phone get hot less?

I don't know much about how that works (the nitty gritty details) but that seems kinda Counterintuitive?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Hi,

I do not know any more :D,like I said "I feel"...

At the same CPU freq and about the same use I feel with a higher CPU temp limit the CPU heats less...that's what I thought noticed when I monitor the temperature evolution in System Tuner...Why?,Placebo?Not exactly the same condition?I do not look exactly at the same times (after a high load) compared to the stock CPU temp limit?...I don't know much...

I tried to reproduce the same conditions for both CPU temp limit,and I think I noticied this...But it's not "scientific" nor proven...

I may be an explanation in French but I can not do the same in English even with Google Translation...,too hard for me :(

And I am not a engineer in processor and I do not have large knowledge in this...And maybe,certainly,my explanation is crap :D

Re,

Yes there is a performance improvement it depends in what...

Some apps loads faster,my launcher is smoother (Apex),scrolling is better,etc...

Some people do not notice the other yes...

Even withe the "better" kernel,the more you overclock the more your battery life decreases,but it also depends of the voltage,governor and what you do with your phone...

If I run 15 benchs at 1.65Ghz for stability test (or for to show that I have a big **** LOL :D)...Bye bye the battery...:D
