[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoderer:
same here. guess we have to wait til SlugZero, Quarx or Blechd0se fix it. I can totally live with that for now. Do your USB-sticks/hdd automatic mount? I have to use USB OTG Helper. after using the app I can access the stick/hdd via a file manager. before that, it's not possible and the device isn't integrated in the (file-)system. again, this is totally ok for me. I'm so happy to use a usb-gampad for emulation gaming - waited a long time...

I have found a fix for the USB symbol which doesn't disappear. When your defy is disconected from the PC but the symbol stays there you can activate USB tethering and the symbol will disappear ;) (only tested in CM, don't know about Mokee)

My USB stick also doesn't intergrate in the file system automatically but I don't use it very often. I rather use the advantage of an physical keyboard and mouse :)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoderer:
I use MyPhoneExplorer which gives you basically the keyboard of your computer. I'm sure you know about this. For me it's a perfect solution until bluetooth is fully fixed.

Sadly the USB-Hostmode isn't implemented by [MENTION=4855459]Blechd0se[/MENTION] in the 11/11er Kernel (his last release of the old kernel). Did you just forget it or are there any difficulties in implementing it? I really enjoyed this feature and it was working pretty well for me (thanks again to [MENTION=4841764]SlugZero[/MENTION] for his work!!!)

An externel harddisk will be recognized after connecting and rebooting and can be mounted manually.

But only small textfiles can be displayed, with larger files it will crash, no music, no videos.

None of my sticks will be recognized.

And sadly my ant+ dongle also not.

Usb OTG Fix ?

After fiddling today with the latest kernel from [MENTION=4841764]SlugZero[/MENTION] and testing all my usb devices with an otg cable and running dmesg on the kernel i found that all of them where throwing this error: ''device descriptor read/64 error -71'' , while searching for it i found that is being made by the UsbCore module which is working on our kernel using the ''New Scheme'' (detailed description about the schemes used by the UsbCore i found here ) thus throwing errors and not registering the usb device after the error , forcing the UsbCore to work with the ''Old Scheme'' can be done by putting the following line in the cmdline(system/bootmenu/2nd-boot/cmdline)

usbcore.old_scheme_first=Y

You can also make it to use both of the schemes with the line below:

usbcore.use_both_schemes=Y

I have tested 5 usb sticks, 2 wireless mouses, 1 card reader, 1 usb modem and 1 wireless Xbox 360 controller and all of the sticks worked without a problem and the mouses and the reader the modem was found but not recognized as an usable usb device and the wireless receiver of the 360 pad is found but can't get enough power.I have tried both of the methods the old one and the dual one , for me the old one worked always on each device and not throw-ed any errors, the dual method because it used first the new method then the old one if it trowed an error and tried to reconnect after 75% of the times didn't connect my devices.All of the devices that i tried where connected only to the phone without a powered hub and the phone correctly detected the device power requirement on the Old Scheme, the only problem that we seem to have is that the musb_hdrc module is not releasing the device after disconnecting it.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdsaif92:
That's great news for us. Hoping that this will be implemented in the coming builds. However it's not clear from your post if the devices work with or without external power.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kHron0S:
More Power findings

All of my test where done only with the power from the defy without an external powered hub and i did more tests to see if the devices power req was detected correctly and you can get that from sys/bus/usb/devices/2-1/bMaxPower , if you open it will show the power reported by the device that was detected trough UsbCore scheme method and if you check sys/bus/usb/devices/2-1/power/ depending on the devices reporting power system you can find in there:

autosuspend
-1 or 0 means off, depending on kernel,
otherwise it is the number of seconds to
autosuspend

level
with the settings:

on - suspend is disabled, device is fully powered
auto - suspend is controlled by the kernel (default)
suspend - suspend is enabled permanently

You can write these strings to the file to control
behaviour on a per-device basis.

echo on > /sys/usb_device/.../device/power/level

state
current state of device
0 - fully powered
2 - suspended

You can write these numbers to control behaviour, but
any change you make here might change automatically
if autosuspend is on.

echo -n 0 > /sys/usb_device/.../device/power/state

wakeup
unknown

This is a part fom the larger description here.

All of the power management is controlled by the CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND kernel module and ours is working with suspend on, atm i cant build a kernel with autosuspend off , [MENTION=4841764]SlugZero[/MENTION] , [MENTION=513620]Quarx[/MENTION] or [MENTION=4855459]Blechd0se[/MENTION] could build a kernel with it off(how to configure autosuspend i found here and some more details about the usb controller that we have in our defy here and here) to see how the devices work with it off, ofc that will be only a test kernel because that might worsen the battery consumption.

doesnt work

should "USB OTG Power Y Cable" on ebay work for me (by the seller novotm) ?

sorry im a newbie so it doesnt let me put links

i flashed the zip and it didnt work. im not sure if something wrong with the cable or something else

my defy doesn't detect the flash drive.

rom is CM9
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linolino:
Hi Wolfensteinor,

you should put more details which ROM you are on.

In case you have:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2515036

it may work - in my case it does.

But keep in mind the Y-Cable doesn't charge your phone, the same time it is a USB host.

It just adds more power to USB client device (eg HDD).

I have a USB Y-Cable but never actually tried if it powers a HDD;

also have a tiny little USB OTG cable which is sufficient for my pendrive ;)

nevertheless more details about your ROM may be needed to help in any way...

Hello SlugZero, I would like to thank you for the great job, we really appreciate your work. I am a new user, and not really into mobile mod, so I kindly ask your support. I have a question, the attach OTG_kernel_new is compatible also with Defy Plus - Android 2.3.6 - kernel 2.6.36? I need just to put it on the sd and install after booting on safe mode correct? Thanks a lot - :confused: DK

Could someone please cook up a 2.1 cyanogen rom. I assume it would be very stable and all hardware should work perfect.

May the force be with you.
[XPERIA X10 General] mezo9090:
Nope, not all the hardware would be working, since CM is also an AOSP so, the drivers will also be messing.
[XPERIA X10 General] jxndxe:
That makes sense. I don't know much about it. I thought it would be easier to do then 2.2+. What do you think?

May the force be with you.
[XPERIA X10 General] compumasta:
Is the Sony rom locked down so tight that it can't be too modified? I mean we see ones like blue sparks which is themed I suppose but if the cyanogen options could be loaded onto a base se rom that seems would be the ideal compromise for those that want everything working in the short term.

1. how can I know the battery percentage in Windows phone 7 ?

Any service code or app ?

2.Tethering on HD2

Does the tethering function works on HTC HD2 with WP 7 ?

Did someone test it ? Could zou provide the procedure ?

3. Exist any method how can I save file created inside the phone to upload

it to PC but different method then Skydrive ?

Thanks

Thanks.

2. Tethering is possible via USB. Look here for the corresponding solution. Haven't testes it yet myself.

With the new entries into the at&t android scene, will the captivate be left behind by the devs? A couple have already picked up new devices, is there cause for concern?
[Captivate General] newter55:
There will be others who step in, and given that you can run vibrant and i9000 roms there will be new stuff going on. The i9000 forum is really where the action is anyway. If hardcore and supercurio move on then I would say you have seen the end of what can be done with the sgs.

Yep, I usually boot the rom then flash the kernel and modem. Sometimes it wont work simply swapping them first.
[Captivate General] devho:

[Captivate General] mcord11758:
Solid info, any recommendations? ;p

My point in the thread is this, were will development be in a month, what are our options. I9000 and vibrant ports are solid options. I don't think many understand how easy it is to do on their own
[Captivate General] smokestack76:
It will carry on no matter what. Browse around. Heck there is still stuff going on with devices that are 5 years old and older. So no it will not ever "end"
[Captivate General] Xstop:
The new entries that is rolling out now, IMO, doesn't have the "wow" factor for anyone to upgrade and renew for another 2 years or even 1, yes opinion. I just returned my Inspire cause of it.

The Atrix, we will see. Accessories, accessories, accessories...reach deep in the pocket for it. Not worth it, ....we are just talking about a phone.

Samsung Infuse...oh yea... Neveragain.

I predict 3rd quarter, then "man overboard" :D

Development for these phone are easy for these devs, as long as leaked firmwares keep on popping up, and they have been. We all should be safe for awhile.

Sorry for the rambling...morning java...strong.

But yea, what newter55 said :)
[Captivate General] alex4lex:
I don't know if this indicative of how many people actually OWN a captivate, let alone DEVING...but I often find that next to Android development section of the captivate the number of viewing is usually around 300. There's still lots of captivaters, and I don't think everyone is in a position/able to jump ship.
[Captivate General] mbudden:
I don't see why people are so worried, I'm looking into getting a Captivate myself. I know it's no Inspire 4G etc etc. But it's still a relatively new device. I know when I started in the WM6 days, people were still making WM5 roms etc for old devices. You will see people still working on them. :)
[Captivate General] mcord11758:
Not worried, there has been a general distaste towards samsung on this section. A couple major devs have already started work on other devices. They will be back fillef I am sure. Just curious to see what direction things go
[Captivate General] mbudden:
Oh of course. I have been away for a long while. The last device I owned was a HTC Kaiser. Been with Blackberry since then. The Rhodium in my sig is my mothers that I tweaked for her.

Why do devs not like the Captivate? I've been looking into getting one to be able to learn Android and be as helpful as I was back in my older device days.

gps, no official froyo, quality control issues,rfs file system

Interesting. Funny that you mention Quality control, my brothers brand new Captivate's screen went out under a month of getting it. It's like the screen decided not to turn on one day.
[Captivate General] SkitchBeatz:

[Captivate General] Smallsmx3:
If the atrix lives up to the hype ill be abandoning my captivate....unlocked bootloader and its over
[Captivate General] shiftylock:
I feel that the amount of work the devs are putting into this phone are making it a great device. I switched to an LG Quantum recently (and love it) But thanks to the joys of owning a sim card, I switch to my captivate at least twice a week. Go to the LG Quantum forum, and you'll see why. There isn't much to do. Not much hacking, no OC's, no UC's, just questions like "What case looks prettiest on my phone?" =/

This even applies to the majority of Motorola android phones, especially MOTOBLUR devices. There just isn't that much to do with them. As for the Captivate, there will always be some random, somewhat useless feature we're all going to go gaga over. ("OMG I CAN TAKE PANORAMA SHOTS.... MUST SHARE WITH XDA...") It's just the spirit of the Captivate forum. We're all in the same poorly navigated, highly customizable boat.

*group hug* xP
[Captivate General] Smallsmx3:
Well the origianal droid is about as customizable as the galaxy s it has gingerbread already...and honestly up until recently most of the "custom" roms were just bloatware free versions of vibrant or i9000 versions of TW. Andromeda and serendipity and supernova all are themed giving a feeling of something new and fresh....if we could get some aosp builds then this phone would really be great and we would see some true custom roms.....the devs are what's keeping the galaxy s alive.

being a broke college kid+2 year contract extension renewal last Christmas=I will have a captivate for a long time. Sure there will always be the latest and greatest phones coming out, but in a years time there will be quad core phones that will make the atrix look obsolete. It is just the natural cycle. I believe the devs here will stick with the captivate for a while though. I'm not going to worry about it, especially when we are ungraded to gingerbread...
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
Having been an admin on another phone forum, what I see with popular phones is there's all kinds of activity when the phone first releases. About a year later things start to settle down. At about 18 months to 2 years the guys at the forefront of development tend to move to other phones, but interest again picks up as many of the phones find their way to new owners through the resale channel and interest again starts to rise as new owners get interested in modding and development, especially as warranty concerns are no longer a consideration. Then there's always a core group of early adopters who pass their phones to a family member or retain them long after upgrading to a new one. A phone as popular as the Galaxy S line will probably not die down anytime soon.
[Captivate General] cavsoldier19d:
I have often thought about this same question too. Like many others have stated, there will still be development a couple years down the road from now. There may not be many left, but I still see posts from people who still have the G1. And the Captivate by far has a longer life span af this point then the G1 or other old outdated android phones. Even if all development for the Captivate comes to a complete halt in the near future, the last updated custom roms will still be light years ahead of other captivates out there running stock roms. And we have all seen how often Samsung/ATT has pushed out updates, so its not like we are at the mercy of them for updates. It is inevitable, I will eventually migrate to a 4G phone and service. But I won't be doing that anytime soon. And when I do, I will make sure that phone is as easily rooted and custom rom capable as the captivate.
[Captivate General] whyareyou:
This is such an imperfect device that there will be someone always trying/tinkering to do one better and then share :)
[Captivate General] movrshakr:
What a truly interesting thread. My OPINION is that Captivate is a great, great phone--

UNLESS you get one that truly won't do GPS no matter what and you need that,

unless you get one that was a crappy QC build, and

unless you are just an average user who wants a smartphone to use without putzing around with it (e.g., flashing a 2.2 ROM because no update, lagfix, etc).

ATT/Samsung ever so missed the boat...all they had to do was get the above right, and they would have had THE phone. Screen, form factor, and many other aspects are really good.

I honestly don't know about continued dev here. I hope it stays active, but as an example, DG has been silent on Cognition for a good while now. Who knows. Of course, even with diminished new ROMs, things will stay active so long as the XDA types keep helping new people coming into the fold (who are either buying new ones for a while or buying resales). People here are not the major part of the Captivate market--at least I don't think so.

Just the most important! :)
