Hi all,
it is possible, to use an USB-HD with the XDA? When yes, how? :shock:
Lormob
lormob - think your out of luck on this one, the XDA is a USB slave device, I believe it would need to be a master for it to be able to control other devices. Best thing you can get is a couple of large SD Cards.

I know these things say they require SDIO, but I have see some sites pushing these things as a legit accessory for the XDA. Has anyone here tried it?
Markus
They require SDIO. They will not work.
some sites mention that the XDA supports SDIO and some say it doesn't. Some sites also say that the XDA supports the SD Wifi Card some also say it does not. Anyone tried?
I tried. It's impossible to use SDIO on XDA I, because the device driver can't be loaded by host.

Hmmm.... wonder why it can't be loaded by host? :?:
If the device driver was added to the rom like Bluetooth is in 2003 ROMs, wouldn't it support it in the XDA?
I believe it is a hardware limitation.

Ive been a close follower to the Serendipity ROM and is super stoked bout version 7 that was just released! But because I have not posted anything in this forum because I usually find my answer just by searching, I cannot post in the thread dedicated to Serendipity 7 until I have some posts. I was wondering if MikeyMike01 and the Serendipity crew had any plans on adapting and creating the software and hardware of the Samsung Captivate to support HDMI output through the microusb? Thanks for anyones help!
I could and may be wrong, but i think HDMI OUT is a hardware thing and that we are not able to fix that by flashing software. We have TV out, but i know it lacks full HD support for transferring to a larger screen.
There is or was a micro-usb to HDMI cable supposedly available.

I have no doubt there is a micro USB HDMI cable that is available and will probably fit the captivate.. but will it work? as the captivate does not have HDMI functionality.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
this has been discussed to death in the accessories section. cables are available, phone's hardware cant support video signal out thru usb port
hmmm.... thank you all for your replies. I saw a discussion about a year ago but i dont remember if anyone said they ever tried creating a ROM or other means that would make it capable. If anyone regularly talks to MikeyMike01 about Serendipity or the other developers (Sorry for those of you I am leaving un-named. Some reason this name is the only one I can remember.) could someone direct him this way? thanks!
Hey everyone my curiosity was struck again... After going through some forums about new ROM's for the captivate, and after trying several and stopping on the awesome Doc's Master ICS for the cappy, I have noticed some people have stated they use the micro usb cable to hdmi on the samsung captivate... I have ordered a micro usb to hdmi cable because I have the spare time and will try some of these ROMs some people have stated the cable works on. I will post back my findings probably around the beginning of next week and keeping my fingers crossed that something good will come from this...
Order Arrived!
My usb to hdmi arrived and its samsungs version. I will start trying some different ROMs for the cappy and post if i find any that work. I have a feeling this is going to be an unsuccessful quest but hey, it doesn't hurt to try it out.
Hi all, Just a quick question to all of you using tablets these days. First I just got nexus 7 for my b'day and now im on the market for .... everything. I would like to know if you guys experienced some issues with log me in on your tablet. What are best ways to use and utilise the tablet. Also another question is a cable, can i use MHL or Micro HDMI cable with this tablet or is that a no-no? If so would the same cable work with my GNex? What apps would you recommend and generally anything related to this. Any input suggestion or, in the end, discussion is welcomed.
Edit#2 can you connect USB drives or sticks to it, if so how?

MHL/HDMI is a nono yes. The only way I'm aware of it being done is through a Raspberry Pi, you may aswell forget about that now
I wouldn't use LogMeIn to be honest, take a look at SplashTop HD
Finally, you need a USB-OTG (on the go), then a normal memory stick/usb hard drive. Download an App called StickMount(Rooted) or Nexus Media Importer (Non-Rooted) and away you go.
PS - Welcome to the best little tablet !

Thanks for such a quick reply! Shame that there is no MHL capabilities. I sort of need log me in for work purpouses. I tried on the phone and the app worked flawlessly but on the baled graphic was gone and frankly speaking unusable.
USB OTG just plug it it, than my stick, run my app and off it works?
Can i connect keyboard and mouse same way?
Cheers
alright guys my friend has a toshiba satellite L755 (this might not be the entire model number im going to look into it again) and its spec are alright but the video card and possible the cpu are ****. he wants to play alot of the newest games but isent able to run most of them, but im sure a simple getting a video card and installing it should be easy but i dont know if the video card is attached to the cpu and that would be very expensive . i wouldnt know how to tell if it would be that problem can anyone help us?
No, yes, no ...
Desktop and Laptop thread? You can't have missed it?
I have never heard of changing a video card on laptop. It's like built in feature and look that you won't find anything on the market that fits GPU for laptops. You could of course buy a graphics card and connect it via usb but from what I remember It was very expensive and was only given support to some intel cpu's
Better luck asking here.

Did you use a T9 keyboard to type that? No capital letters anywhere.

I've done it several times. It all depends on the laptop and wether or not you can even access the Videocard. Most high-end Asus laptops can easily be customized.
Best go to a computershop if you've no experience with it yourself, it isn't always easy.

Thanks most likely going to do this.
Ok guys, maybe this question has been asked and maybe it has not. I'm typing this on the fly via mobile of course and don't have the time to scour through related forum threads which may or may not be able to help me out.
That said, I have several adapters that I use for packet injection. I have one which has an SMA port for antennas and I bought a 16dBi high gain antenna to use with another project and I am also using with this adapter.
Anyway, I woukd like to be able to use this adapter with its extended range while I'm wardriving.
I have microUSB to Female USB cables for my phone. But connecting a device does little other than power it on.
I need a script that disables the on board WiFi and installs a driver for the secondary adapter and then enables it. Or perhaps there is an app out there that makes this easier.
Anyone have any suggestions or solutions to this dilemma I'm facing?
Thanks in Advance!

C'mon guys, this is the TOP mobile device (particularly Android) forum in the world. I've been a member for years... I know someone on here has something I can try or a complete solution. I know that this has been successful on the Droid Milestone but that's a bit of an older phone.
Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks again..

google "pwnpad" maybe you find something you can use, also the wifi adapter they use is cheap and support packet injection and external antennas.

Thanks milad407... Your input is appreciated. I am looking in to it right now... If I find a good solution I will be sure to post it here in the forums.
Again, thank you!
You're welcome, i'll be keeping my eye on the thread, if you find something..

Ok, I have not tried this yet but if it works in anyway similar to how it would on a laptop then I should succeed. Using either "Linux Deploy" or Complete Linux Installer" I can install various Linux distros on my phone virtually. Even custom images can be used. But by stock you can install Ubuntu, Debian, (not sure why they offer both), Backtrack, Kali (again, unsure why they offer both) and several other Linux distros.
If I install Backtrack, which I know supports the adapter I want to use when running from live cd or live usb from a laptop (or even Kali Linux) then it should also work on my device. It's all about the drivers and disabling the devices built in WiFi adapter....
I have to take my phone back to stock due to some issues which have recently occurred. I will S-Off first probably, then return to Stock, re-root and after I recover my contacts, programs, etc, etc, I will attempt to install a virtual image of either BT5 or Kali and see what happens.
Again, I will keep updated this thread. If it works then everyone with an M7 from Sprint will be able to utilize this method.
:fingers-crossed:

I think the problem with the Pwnpad source code is that, it's written for Nexus 7

Hmmm, interesting... I actually have a Nexus 7 - 32GB 1st gen, it's a nice, smooth tablet but doesn't hold a candle many other devices out there. If I had my choice of device to turn in to a "hacking" tab, uh, Phablet... I would choose the Galaxy Note 3.
Check out the arena....

But, aside from that... You would think that you would only be limited to any devices hardware capabilities... Technically, we could probably take an old Toshiba or Acer Iconia tablet, install and/or run either BT5 or Kali virtually on top of whatever version of Android the device is running and have near the same capabilities that you would with a laptop.
If/when I figure out a way to use my Alpha AWUS036NH on any of the devices I own I'll be able to wardrive and pick up networks from nearly and 1/8th - 1/4 of a mile away. No exaggeration. Utilizing a 16dBi omni directional antenna instead of the measly 5 dBi that's included make an enormous difference.
But, rather or not it will work so easily running BT5 or Kali virtually over JellyBean or ICS compared to the ease of a live/virtual/physical installation of either OS on a laptop or PC will only be known once it has been tried. I wish I had more free time to do what I truly love to do with technology instead of the repetitive and thankless administration tasks I perform at work... The grass is always greener though... Lol!
One of these weekends I'll get something going, and I'll post it and hopeflly save peeps that $899. The only thing they will have to pay for will be the adapter(s) they choose to utilize and the tablet, phablet, or even phone that they want to use The rest will be open source and included with (hopefully) current and future releases of Kali Linux now that BT5 is suddenly and abruptly "dead". Did that catch anyone else by surprise or just me? Lol!
