Hello folks,
does anyone know if there is a barcode reader that can be connected to the XDA?
Einas
The serial port is probably most suited. Most PC scanners these days interface between the keyboard and the computer, but here's one:

Barcode scanner for XDAII??
I see for XDA you recommended that scanner that plugs into the serial port.
Does anyone have any recommendations or any experience for which scanner to use with XDAII?
Has anyone here tried using the socket sdio in-hand scan card?
Thanks

I have an AT&T Tilt and a Canon iP90v printer. I can print to the printer fine using the USB cable but when I try to print via bluetooth it doesn't work properly. If I print a few words it works. If I print a paragraph it comes out with jargled text and the printer freezes after. Printing pictures doesn't work either unless connected USB. Almost sounds like a buffer problem. Anyone know a fix?
According to HTC service manual http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410653 (picture attached) there are somewere an Y cable and SD card reader !!!!

Till now we just proved the existence of a working SD card reader-cable connected.
Special reader? Special Cable? According with HTC service manual no special software is needed, so the solution is in the HW
MAKE A SMALL Diamond like microsd card reader?
people get some entrepreneurial spirit 3 million diamonds are going to be sold
know some manufacturer which can make it for $10 a piece and you sell it for $49, YOU SELL 250K, YOU MADE over $10 MILLION, theres a life.
or VIEW THIS! http://www.tca-inc.net/usbmatousbbf.html and http://www.bizrate.com/memorycards/oid796436093.html
will that work?
Another USB reader
Check this out.

Nice prices, altough shipping will be put on the price.
I almost hate to ask, but has anyone actually tried plugging in a card reader or USB drive?
If someone managed to cram the features of the smart cable into the space made by the extended battery back cover, we'll have a neat little extension to the phone
Bringing up an old topic.... But just for the info here it is:
I worked with it many times. It can read the SD card but only in special conditions. You cannot use it as a USB host and read-write files etc.
The cable is a special cable so don't bother look for a ready made one commercially.
Regards!
i think its purpose is for service only

I think the SD Card reader in the picture is simply a USB OTG Bridge that can transfer data to USB client devices.
Here is a similar product:
http://www.everythingusb.com/sima_hitch_usb-101.html
Forget hitch, the reader is a plain card reader.
And yes it is used for servicing only.
I could go into further details later if you want or even show how to build one.
Is there something useful here?

Hm... Have no idea, didn't tested it.

if that's a plain card reader, it means the Diamond is an USB host or OTG device, right?
if that's true, we could provide an external 5v power to the card reader, and connect card reader's D+ and D- pins to Diamond to get it work, right? ... is it required to connect the both sides' Vcc and Gnd pins? Or, maybe the external power is not required?
thanks,

It will only work for servicing purposes. Nothing else. About the connections you are right.
I see. So it's useless for the rest of us.
Thanks,

This adapter can be used as an alternative for the USB-Host functionality but I was afraid the microSD part wouldn't be long enough to fit the HD2 MicroSD slot.
So I managed to get its microSD part length according to expansys' product image:
The length is only 17mm but the minimum length to get it work with HD2 must be 20.5mm. I used a calliper to measure that.
So, I was hopping anyone would come up with an idea to use this adapter with HTC HD2.
Please notice that the adapter price is £29 excluding the shipping cost so I prefer not take the risk to disassemble it for extending the microSD length if it isn't possible.
Thanks in advance,
that's a very interesting product..
What is it for, are you trying to use a USB stick instead of your micro SD card?
If so, why?
a portable HDD caddy LOL
shame though, the MicroSD port wont put out 5v 500mah
although its probably enough to power a CF/MSproDUO/XD type of reader for example to clear some space on your digital camera card without deleting images (or simply to view them on a bigger screen )

Sometimes you really need work on a USB stick but you don't have access to PC.
Or as quasi_mojo said you can connect a card reader to your device...
Will I be able to play some mp3's directly from a pendrive with this device? Because I have about 25GB of music and I can't afford a 32GB microSD card.
i THINK (i could be wrong...) a pendrive would require more nearer 5volts to work...
opened up my SDcard reader a few days ago, plugged into usb with a 2gb sdcard...it was pulling 3.4-3.6volts while accessing the card, which is damn close to the MicroSD maximum voltage...
Anyone knows where to buy?
There is a shop in the USA, but who knows a shop in europe?

PS Why not attache a harddrive to my Tab
Nook Color option
It would be cool if someone could make a Micro SD socket adaptor (with a usb converter cable) that would allow the ability to connect to and drive a scanner and a printer. One would need the appropriate app designed for it too. A nice option for the Nook Color.
Hi there,
I had the mobydapter here, but it didn't function with my galaxy 7 inch tab. Pity I had to send it back. No function beside beeing very unstable by nearly dropping out of my tab. Oh I forgot it was blinking. ;-)
***MOD EDIT*** shows a Mobiadapter attached to a Galaxt Tab 7 tablet.. Somebody said that this doesn´t work on that Tab... What kinda of marketing.. Argh!
The Mobiadapter no loger exist.
Someone know something like that?
Thanks for support
I need this product for a security research. If you happen to have one, even as used, please message me.
Looked and searched but can not find a way to use a printer with the usb cable. My printer has a usb port for printing pics from a camera anyone know a way to use it to print docs etc.. from phone
Thanks in advance
If you have a wireless network that your printer is hooked into try PrinterShare and you can print from your phone. I use it and it works very nicely.
That USB port on the printer is designed for digital camera and card reader hookups and is Windows or Mac based. It probably will not be able to read the Android file system on your phone. Not natively, anyway.

At home have older computer every thing wired so that is a no go. Sometimes just needed to print a doc from phone was looking for the quickest way without mounting unmounting ..... Oh well
Hi newb here ... did search but could not find the answer. Please forgive me if I missed the obvious.
I have an HD+ running cm10.1 emmc by verygreen (THANKS!). I am trying to read from an SD card via usb host. I have confirmed that usb host function is working by plugging in usb thumb drives. But when I plug in a card reader with the card inserted -- no matter a single slot reader or a multi-format reader -- it is not mounted.
What is more, I installed "USB Host Viewer", and it is able to see the readers. It is showing a device .../usb/001/0xx where xx is an increasing number if I keep it running while unplugging/replugging the card reader. But if I try to mount .../usb/001/0xx or ../usb/001 or .../usb mount would not be able to find the device. Also I tried several usb host controller/mount apps (e.g. stickmount and many others) none would be able to do the job.
Since the viewer can see the reader, I suppose what is missing is the actual device path that I should give to mount. But how do I find it out?
Advice is greatly appreciated. This is the only thing that is missing in my usage model -- I want to be able to read camera cards into the HD+.
Thanks,
Sean
No takers? It is hard to believe no one wanted/needed this... IMHO this is a very relevant use of a portable device with great screen.
Are you using a USB hub? It may fix your problem. It will mask the card reader's energy requirements and the Nook might then recognize it correctly.

I don't think it is a power issue. Apparently the nook sees the reader (see my original post), but from what I read it only auto mount the "first" volume.
