Well, i just bought a dock for my dell streak 7 running Honeystreak. When i try to connect the USB cable into the back of the dock while the tablet is in place my win7 computer doesn't recognize it at all. The tablet doesn't even show its connected! can someone help please!!?
Are you getting any error message ?
Look in your printer and devices folder, you should see it show up as a media device.
I looked and i didn't see anything... I know the dock has to work because the charging (from charging port not UBS port) and hdmi work.

Keep in mind, the charging usb port is SEPERATE from the data usb port. I use this dock and I just charge off it, if I want to use data, I use a 2nd cable connecting to it.
I think I tried that. I connect the dock (VIA charging port) then I connect the data cable(VIA mini usb) to the computer. It should charge and connect to the computer but it still doesn't recognize anything. Could it be the rom?

Well to confirm, can you use a normal cable to connect to your PC? Without the dock that is.
Also as for the rom, Ive used djsteve 2.2.2 and honeystreak, dock works in both. I know on WinXP however I needed to use a diff driver for the MTP Device.
Unfortunately my normal cord died and i coudnt find an original replacement so i got a dock instead. The original cord used to work without trouble though.

Got a PSP USB cord to plug in? Or try the PS3 controller plug. =p All those could work to test with on the dock.

Is this possible with the S7?
Sorry to pester; anyone have an answer for this? I'd love to use USB host mode for keyboards and such.
How would you connect the keyboard?

I ordered an adaptor to plug a regular keyboard into the Streak & dock.
(I figured the powered hub might help)
No joy. cannot get cap lock to light up.

Wait, someone made an adaptor for the custom port connector on the Dell Streak? You should ask them how it is to be used. Since they manufactured the part, they must have had some reason to think it would work, and had some idea of what keyboard & etc. would be needed.
Any way for the cab;e we have now to work as a host, or is it hardwired otherwise? I know how USB/MicroUSB works to activate host mode, but no idea with these 30-pin deals.

I just received an OTG cable I ordered off of Amazon for 88 cents from Hong Kong. I bought one so I could use my PS3 controller for emulators and just plug and play. Well once I plug ANYTHING in, I get no indication of life from anything. I heard when you plug a PS3 controller in, its supposed to start blinking. I have tried a USB device that didnt light up like it does on my computer. I have tried a USB mouse (not sure if power is needed). Is there something in the settings to toggle this feature or do I just have a bad cable?
I've tried a couple apps to see if I could see any indication that something is plugged in. The app "USB Device Info" shows info for the cable itself so I guess its at least recognizing that. I've tried StickMount but it doesnt mount anything. Any Ideas? Any help is appreciated.
Don't hold me to this but if I am correct you need To use a self powered USB line the tp does not supply 5v out

Even if the device you use is self powered like the PS3 controller.
Yep... you need a y cable

There is no 5v provided by the OTG port. In order for anything to work, you have to use a powered hub.
Thanks guys. I guess I'll be buying a Y-Cable now.
Hello,
I have a USB OTG cable and dell keyboard that I have tested and work in OTG mode on a Nexus 7, however i cannot get them to function with my HP Touchpad 32gb, running CM9 2.6.35, built on Sun Oct 28.
The device recognizes when I plug in anything via USB, but only as a generic Linux USB hub, and not as any particular device. Are there any steps to take to debug this? Has anyone had experience with this type of an issue?
Thanks for your help,
Cory
I don't know if this is the issue, but I know the touchpad doesn't support OTG like the the Nexus does. I think you need a Y-adapter + OTG to provide power since the micro usb port doesn't give any power to the device you connect. Someone correct me if I'm wrong though.
Apparently even a powered USB requires a powered Y cable to be properly recognized. I hacked together a quick Y cable manually, by splicing in another USB cable's power and ground (Red and black) to the respective locations on a female USB cable. Works as expected.
I am now communicating with an Arduino over Serial
Thanks!
Read this thread, should give you all the info you need:

Basically the Touchpad has OTG but it provides no power.

Agreed. I think people just are not stating reality regarding the ability to charge and use OTG Hosting to USB devices at the same time.
My goal here has been to attach a flash drive with video/audio media and play & charge on long flights. It looks like play, charge are mutually exclusive on my beloved TouchPad.
I've asked for the specific confirmation of this from this YouTube but have never had the poster reply:

There are devices out there that have very advanced micro USB device implementations. Sadly the HP is only superficially supportive.
I for one cannot wait to get my SGN2 smart dock which offers:
Charging
OTG (x3 USB)
Audio out
HML HDMI out

Hey all. Wondering if it's possible to charge the phone while using the following setup.
OTG cable into the phone. Powered USB hub into the OTG cable.
Can the phone even be charged while using OTG, since OTG is meant to power other devices?
I'm trying to find a decent setup to allow me to charge the phone, use a wired controller, and possibly an MHL. I could always just use a Bluetooth controller and the Media Link HD and charge the phone, but is it possible the other way?

I have been battling an issue with my HTC One when I use a USB cable for data transfers. PC will recognize phone for two seconds when plugged in and starts charging but immediately stops and I get the "USB host cable is plugged in - Unable to charge the device" message as if I had plugged in an OTG cable. I have the same issue when plugging into my car stereo for music playback so the issue is not PC drivers, but I did try different drivers and still nothing.
Does this sound like the usb hardware drivers are screwed up inside the Android OS? Any way I can pull the drivers from another ROM and replace the ones in my phone? Phone charges fine when plugged into the wall charger. Any ideas?
Did you try a different usb cable?
