Unfortunately doesn't seem to be working with mass storage. If it's a kernel/driver issue at least it's something that could potentially be fixed with some of the custom ROMs people are beginning to work on now that Dell has released kernel source.
[Streak 5 General] SAman1:
Pity :( . Thanks for the feedback though. I also hope the chefs can enable this functionality in their roms, but we just have to wait and see.
[Streak 5 General] bluefrog:
Bugger. I was gettin' all excited as well :p

Do any other Android units support USB hosting - particularly of mass storage devices? Maybe it could be adapted from them, if it's possible at all.
[Streak 5 General] 0TheRain0:
Yah I thought about that as well. Nexus One does with custom ROM I believe, but it doesn't power attached USB devices so needs a powered hub. Don't know how adaptable that would be to Dell Streak, but Nexus One does also have snapdragon processor like the streak does.
[Streak 5 General] bluefrog:
oo interest levels going up again :D

so for say a camera, that can power itself, do you think there may be a chance yet and without needing a powered hub?

to set the scene a little, if i connect my Canon DSLR to my PC it will set itself up as a mass storage device and i can access it like a disk drive / card reader.

IF I could do that on the Streak, out in the field, it could be very handy. The ability to back up important pics on the fly would definitely have mileage for me and would save needing something like an Epson P4000 which is rather expensive! The built in screens on cameras are generally poor for checking exposure - you can use the histogram but there are benefits to SEEING how it looks. The Streak's screen is actually quite well calibrated and, given it's size, would be rather useful for checking landscapes out before I leave, often unable to return to reshoot for quite some time!

I've read that the ipad is going to be able to support tethered shooting on the new Hassleblad digital cameras but I don't expect to achieve that, good as it would be!!
[Streak 5 General] da_jojo:
somehow it looks like an apple 30 pin connector used on i-pod. maybe these docks can be used/transformed to a streak dock.
[Streak 5 General] da_jojo:
better get one of these :)

haha yeah it'd be nice! Slight price issue for me at the mo tho!

Ah well I still love the "phone" even if I don't end up getting it hooked up to stuff... :)
[Streak 5 General] 0TheRain0:
Just a teaser of what im working on. The dock connector needs some repositioning an it needs a back support.

Hint: i stuffed a usb microcontroller inside and it shows up as a usb keyboard to the streak
[Streak 5 General] 0TheRain0:
For some reason my attach didn't work. If it doesn't this time ill have to try again later.

this would be awesome if the kernel supported it (guessing it doesn't)
[Streak 5 General] 0TheRain0:
Instead of translating the SNES controller protocol, I opted to solder wires to the button traces going in to the microcontroller built into the SNES controller. Then just read the button presses and send key presses as USB HID keyboard to the Streak using a teensy microcontroller board. It's working really well actually. I've been playing gameboid with it and it is even more responsive than using a Wiimote with it. I'm about to go on a trip, but I'll try to post some video next week, and will be working on some howto's around making USB host cables and doing this controller mod as well.
[Streak 5 General] twe69:
Sounds good, thanks :)
[Streak 5 General] Linuxslate:
I finally made a simple USB OTG cable. USB Mini Plug with Pins 4 and 5 (or * and 4 depending on terminology) shorted, and a female Standard USB (A) on the other end.

It's made from a cut-up USB extension cable.

It works fine for USB keyboards when plugged into either the Streak Home Dock or my PDMI --> USB Mini Adapter.

However, connecting a USB flash drive does not work. The Key Flashes, as if it is mounting, but I do no see it in a File Manager, and it does not appear under Settings -- SD Card, USB Mass Stor..., -- & phone storage -- Unmount/Eject UMS Device. (2.1)

Haven't tried manually mounting, or looking a the log.

Haven't tried any other USB devices (Card reader?).
[Streak 5 General] rts-kuruption:
Do you have BusyBox app installed? If so, try running the command 'dmesg' after plugging in the flash drive. Then, you could get an idea if the OS is seeing the drive, and then use the mount command to mount it?
[Streak 5 General] Linuxslate:
OK. Did that. Yes, it does see the Flash Drive as sda, correctly identifies the device etc.

It just is not attempting to mount it.

I guess I need to create a mount point. Gotta run to a meeting, but I'll think about the "right" place to create a mount point and try to mount it. Should work.
[Streak 5 General] Linuxslate:
It works!

[Streak 5 General] Keethos:
Hi Guys,

Sorry to bring this back up again but I was wondering if anyone who had managed to get this working before (with the dock and an OTG mini USB to USB cable) with a keyboard can still get this working on Official Android 2.2 (318)? I've got myself an official dell dock and I've brought an OTG male mini USB to felmale USB cable and connecting these together with a Keyboard seems to do nothing, even when powering the dock via mains. Do I need to enable USB Hosting? Have I got a naf cable? Or has Dell removed this feature when creating 2.2?
[Streak 5 General] chinkostu:
aye, has anyone got it to work with 2.2? no clue on steves rom but used to have an option in 2.1 for UMS, now its not there so guessing the features gone
[Streak 5 General] Keethos:
No one USB hosting anymore? :(
[Streak 5 General] rafynet:
USB Host on 2.2

PLEASE!:o
[Streak 5 General] :
This seems to be dead. Is it really not possible with 2.2?
[Streak 5 General] ear0wax:
This is for the n1, but theres alot of usb profile kernel modules posted toward the end, this should help in someway.

http://sven.killig.de/android/N1/2.2/usb_host/

Do not try any of the kernels posted there though.
[Streak 5 General] Kumouri:
I just read this thread today, and I'm interested in looking into it. I'm going to do some checking with my alternate cable when I get back to school. Hopefully I'll have something ready by next week. I'll let you guys know as soon as I know anything else.

I'll be testing on DJSteve's 1.8.1 and probably official 2.2 as well.
[Streak 5 General] Techvir:
Looking forward to this
[Streak 5 General] rafynet:
I'd love usb host on my streak
[Streak 5 General] Kumouri:
I did some more research into this (I'm still working on a game plan for my cord as I'm doing more than just testing USB host.) and it looks like on official 2.2, USB host is disabled. I'm currently running StreakDroid 1.8.1, so I'll test on that soon. If it doesn't work we can all ask DJSteve to add it in if he can, and if he won't, I'll try.
[Streak 5 General] rafynet:
I'm glad to see someone looking into this :)
[Streak 5 General] undrwater:
I spoke with DJ Steve about this on irc recently, and he said this is outside of his interest.
[Streak 5 General] I.Chaos:
Oh no! USB host is an absolutely must! Someone should get it to work :(
[Streak 5 General] bugmenotacc:
if I'm reading this right, with a USB female-female adaptor, we could (eventualy) plug a USB stick (or digital camera) into the data cable and access the files?

that would be awesome!
[Streak 5 General] xdjneo:
Or use USB touch sensitive input from a lapdock touchscreen or touchpad. Now that would be awesome.

Samsung galaxy s 2 has usb on the go support. It is running android 2.3. Can try this our dell streak? Can't modify our dell streak using 2.3 android os?
[Streak 5 General] htcjikelly:
Hope someone will get this working in 2.2 because that would nearly make my laptop unnecessary.
[Streak 5 General] Kumouri:
When the Galaxy S II comes out I plan on getting one, and I'm pretty sure DJ Steve is working on 2.3 on the Streak right now (Dell finally released some source). So when we get some GS2 file dumps I'll see what I can do about looking through them to find the stuff to enable USB OTG. It'll probably take me a while, but hopefully I'll get it done eventually.
[Streak 5 General] StreakNuBee:
0TheRain0: How are you examining the text stream (HID input) within the Streak? Just opening a document and triggering the external device (text should show in the doc)? Or are you doing something more elaborate?

OTG on Streak 7

I used a cable I ordered from Amazon. The shell was easy to pop apart with a razor blade.

I connected pin 4 to pin 2 (with a drop of solder – since the pins are side by side).

I cut 8 inches of the female-end of a USB extension cable and connected the colored wires to the spots on the PDMI connector.

However, I am using a Streak 7 which runs Android 2.2. I powered off. Inserted the modified PDMI, and powered on.

No detectable voltage across the red and black wires. I might have messed up the wiring, but it is very simple.

I’m afraid the OTG on Streak 7 is gonna be messy.

I had so hoped to be able to get external input (dreams of a mini-oscilloscope…sigh)

(sorry. I’m not yet allowed to post links to the Amazon part number nor the Teensy A/D USB board)

just wondering

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/USB-F-Female-...nnectors_RL&hash=item3f0280f0cb#ht_1636wt_922

i mite sound silly here but wouldnt it be easier to get one of these items and attach to the dell cable supplied to which propriaty end you need then buying a new one and ripping it apart
[Streak 5 General] jim-bo:
It isn't a gender issue - it is the fact that you need to make changed to the PDMI (streak end) of it. There is no possible way to do this at the USB end, so no USB adapter or converter in existence can possibly help.

Now, if you can find someone that makes a PDMI(m) -> PDMI(f) adapter with the necessary mods inside it, then we'll all be laughing :)
[Streak 5 General] waatavr:
so that means i have to cut open the dell streak supplied pdmi adapter and solder the female usb connector with correct wire connections.

humm..
[Streak 5 General] jim-bo:
Fraid so.

There is a guide here.

And the full pinout for the streak end can be found here.

I would rather suggest that you buy a spare cable to play with, rather than use your only one.

usb host via streakdroid 1.9.1

I have a Streak 5 running Android 2.2.2 - GAUSB1A1351000-EU - Kernel: 2.6.32.9-perf - OEM: GAUSB1A135100 - build :15609 - version :351 - region:00.

Because of the excellent screen i use the streak as a gliding-computer ( in a sailplane as we call it here in Europe ); it runs XCSoar 6.2 preview2 connected to the Flarm device ( collision avoidance system ) via serial-to-bluetooth adapter and the bluetooth receiver in the Streak. So far so good, everything running nice!

But : i like to connect to the Flarm via USB- wire. i purchased a Sparkfun IOIO board and a RS232-to-TTL converter, made a setup as instructed by rdunning in Wikispaces XCSoar (see: //xcsoar-robd.wikispaces.com/XCSoar+Android+-+to+-+RS232+%28IOIO%29[/url] ) i also made a streak-connector with pins nr 2 and 4 connected. unfortunately the combination doesnt work because as i read the froyo 2.2 doesn't have USB host or On The Go in its kernel.

In the streak development thread i read about Streakdroid 1.9.1 by DJ Steve; this version is said to have USB Host on board.

Is this the solution to my problem? : converting my froyo 2.2.2 to Streakdroid 1.9.1.

Is this possible? I will risk the conversion if i am sure of the possibility to use the streak connected via USB to the IOIO.
[Streak 5 General] adzman808:
tried steve's usb host rom today

you can install the rom so that it automatically mounts usb devices, BUT if you install this option the streak will no longer function to un mount the sd card & make the streak a usb device within windows

apparently theres a gscript or terminal command that can be run from the streak to mount usb (on steve's rom) & keep usb mode, but i'm to stupid to figure it out & i can't find the info anywhere (probably cos i'm stupid)
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
Would this app help? It allows you to see the SD card while connected to your computer without mounting as a USB device. Link is to free version, there is also a paid version. The free version of this app will not work if you have ad-free installed, but there may be others that do the same thing.

Edit: here is one for 99 cents.
[Streak 5 General] adzman808:
thanks Marvin,

the trouble is that i want to be about to use the streak as usb device AND connect usb devices to my streak

i do use adfree & that has ruined a few of my free market purchases, but has made many other apps so much better !!

Sry for my question.

I dont have Nokia PCSuite installed and I wouldnt install it. Can I without installing PCSuite syncronizes my Nokia Contacs with my TyTN II?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] SilentlyScreaming:
In case no one knows of a freeware app to mass send all contacts (via bluetooth or something that bypasses the need for Nokia software), you could always just turn on bluetooth on phones, probably best to pair them. Then open up your contacts on the TyTn II, and send each contact individually by bluetooth (it may be listed as "beam", think it depends on ROM version(?)) to your nokia. Do make sure that extra fields are received and mapped correctly - eg work fax number goes to the correct category, addresses, birthdays, e-mails etc., BEFORE you stop taking your TyTn II around with you.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Yulistana:
Previously i use vCard manager to backup all contact from Nokia and it will result single file (vCard) ready to backup/copying to another symbian phone. But unfortunately that i didn't know winmo application to read vCard file perfectly in HTC.

I think it will be difficult without pc suite to backup/copying contact to another phone OS.

there isnt much point of a port it is cyanogen with custom apps the are freely available if you want a specific script just email him but there is no need for a port but if u insist u will need a new kernel img decadence has one and use the anykernal update.zip to get u started you will need the camera libs and a bunch of other stuff

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zombierockstar:
Yep!	They sure did! GPS is flawless now!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KerryG:
The correct answer is No. While this "leaked firmware" seams to have fixed the GPS issue we do not know when it will be pushed out. Based on what I am seeing, it appears to be early beta quality. Figure a couple weeks to flush out issues, ship to the carriers, then the a couple weeks for them to certify it before pushing it out....basically I would say at least a month. However, this "leaked" firmware could be old as well and the carriers may already have it and we could start getting update notices tomorrow. The answer is, nobody on this forum actually knows.
