Configuring the USB as a serial port.

Hi,
I'm trying to run an app on the Kaiser phone, but unfortunately it does not recognize phones unless they are configured as serial devices. Is there a way to configure the USB port on the Kaiser as a serial communication port? I tried punching in ##3424# but was unsuccessful. I also could not find a flag in the registry that allowed use of USB as a serial bus. Does any of you have the drivers that allows mapping the USB as a serial port in my computer?
Thank you,
SJ

Last time i checked
USB!=Serial

If you are trying to use the phone as a serial modem, then there are existing drivers for the HTC Modem.

Got it to connect as a serial modem
Hi,
I made some progress in this front. I got my Vista computer to recognize my phone as a HTC USB modem.
But when I start the wModem using Menu > Start and then on Vista goto Start > Connect to > HTC USB Modem it drops the WModem connection on the Kaiser. The Wmodem application closes and reappears after Vista has determined it is unable to connect to the modem.
Has anyone else seen this problem.
Thanks,
Shree

format C: and install XP should do the trick

usb cant emulate old serial == rs232 that few new pc's even have anymore
a usb to rs232 adaptor is required but those require the device using them
being able to be usb host and only flame and Athena support that

Use Diamond as bluetooth dongle?

Anyway I can connect my diamond to the computer via usb, and then connect bluetooth devices to the computer via the diamond? Basically turn it into a usb bluetooth dongle?
cheers.

a proper bluetooth dongle only cost a few bucks from eBay, why would you bother?
K

firstly to save the £7 it would cost to get it from the nearest computer shop, and secondly to save me waiting.

I'm also interested in this. I tend to forget my BT-dongle in my home PC...

This does deserve a little bump before leaving to the dead thread graveyard...

usefulness of the idea
i think this can be quite useful: i only want my computer to be able to connect via bluetooth, when my pda is cradled. (so, when i come close to my pc, i can both synchronize my pocket pc & my mobile phone automatically, via a simple script / app).

[Q] I9000M Mass Storage and a 2010 Chev Tahoe

Hey there folks, after my battle with Verizon, Bestbuy and Motorola I finally found an Android phone that would work for me (for the most part) up here in Canada. I have only had one issue so far and that would be using it in my vehicle with the USB port on-board.
I've had the phone for a few months now and never really needed this functionality until my 2nd iPod of the year was "liberated" from my vehicle over night. Now since buying the phone I've rooted, installed Darky's ROM series and formated the internal 16GB and external 16GB SD cards before putting my songs onto the external in a folder just labeled 'music'. Here is what I have just so you get a better idea:
-SG:S I9000M (Bell) with Darky Mod/ROM 9.5
-GM Chevrolet Tahoe (2010) with a standard USB port (which apparently works with thumb drives too but I might as well try to get my phone to work, charger + music = winning).
Lots of good R&R, and some really crappy techno (JK I like electronic too & classical as well as long walks on the beach).
-USB connection styles I've tried include: Mass Storage, Debugging, and Media Player (Kies no longer appears since I don't use Touch Wiz).
-The error my vehicle throws out is "Unknown device connected"
So I pose the question: do I need some config file on the SD cards, the phone or in a folder to tell my vehicle what the heck I just plugged in or do I need to put my music in a special folder? I don't know how apple does it, but I hate apple since their latest iPod update (Media Monkey can no longer sync the music without the iPod whining and slitting it's digital wrists about syncing with iTunes) which forced me to install iTunes (which I consider a virus since you absolutely have to install Qtime and it creates shortcuts everywhere and runs at startup).
Any input is appreciated, I did a quick search on XDA and I couldn't find any relevant topics, or I'm incompetent, one or the other.
TL;DR: Galaxy S I9000 + 2010 Tahoe + USB = not working

Looking at how the SGS presents itself to a host device, I believe that it hides its mass storage device (among others, such as networking and ADB connection) under a hub device rather than on its own as would happen with a typical USB thumb drive. The computer cannot read the past this hub device until the Samsung drivers are installed, upon which the mass storage device is then visible.
I tried hooking my SGS up to a digital photo frame once and the photo frame couldn't read it since it couldn't see a mass storage device. So unless you can somehow install the Samsung drivers onto your truck, I'm afraid you're SOL. At least, until a talented kernel developer here recodes the SGS's USB driver to expose the mass storage device natively.

when you plug the sgs into your truck, do you get the option to connect USB storage?
edit: just noticed you've already tried that.
yeah it might be up to the kernel dev's to do something about it - it would be great if there was an option to make it show up as a giant USB stick!

When I plug my I9000M into my desktop via USB it automatically mounts the 2 SD cards without having to do the windows "search for drivers" and under device management the 2 SD cards show up as portable devices. I think what I will do is remove the external SD card before plugging it in to see if it's confusing the onboard system (in the vehicle) by trying to mount 2 separate SD cards. My apologies for the slack spelling and grammar, I just woke up, I may edit the post later today as well as update on my progress.

[Q] Connect HTC to Synology NAS via USB

Hi,
anyone here using Synology NAS-Server?
My Synology DS212j has a USB-Port for the ability to connect external USB-devices direct to the NAS. I want to connect my HTC One (S-Off, Viper-ROM) direct to my NAS to copy data with more speed.
When I connect the HTC to the NAS, "USB connected" and "USB-Debugging" is shown on the phone-display. But I can´t find my phone in the synology "file station".
Have you successfully transferred data direct from phone to NAS via USB?
Nem.

Connecting Fire to Ethernet with adapter

Hi I recently purchased online a micro-USB to RJ45 Ethernet adapter with a 3 port USB hub like these. It was insanely cheap so I thought why not. Reviews said in most cases it was plug and play, however, I am unable to get the ethernet to work. No network icon appears in the upper right and there does not seem to be any options for a network connection. The USB ports work and it was fun watching a mouse appear and an external keyboard work immediately upon plugin. They provided a driver CD and I sideloaded all the files (85mb) onto the Fire - Pictures folder. How do I install the drivers to get the ethernet to work?
Note: Using ES File Explorer I went to Network>LAN> tapped on Scan but nothing was found.
A side question is, does anyone know how to access the 'USB computer connection' menu (where it gives you the option of selecting 'Media device' MPT or 'Camera' PTP) in settings without plugging it into a PC via USB ie. from the settings menu?
Thanks
WXsky

Doubt there is a USB to RJ45 driver driver for this device as it was never intended to work with a wired network connection. As for your other question I don't believe that menu is available on non-rooted FireOS unless a tether has been established (and then only via notification).

Apparently it wasn't intended to work with an external keyboard or mouse but this adapter made it so it could. When I plug it into the Fire it gets power as indicated by a greenish yellow light. When I plug it into the ethernet cable another light appears and it is red so that means I have connectivity, just no driver installed I'm guessing.
Could anyone else weigh in on this please? I need a bit more than just a glib "No". As I mentioned I have the drivers. They were provided on a mini disc. How do I install them? Not totally familiar with Android or other Linux devices however I've dabbled with Ubuntu but nothing on these confounded tablets.

Just because you have a mini-disk does not mean the contents will work with this device or FireOS. I have yet to see an Android device support an Ethernet adapter via OTG; a brief Google search suggests it may be possible with a few select adapters and devices. Aside from driver both kernel and ROM (FireOS) must cooperate to secure the connection. Unlikely Amazon would include that intentionally leaving it to the underlying version of Android (5.1.1) to manage the interface. Given the complexities of establishing/maintaining an Ethernet data connection me thinks you have a project on your hands. Good luck.
