Sony advertises the c6602 as being able to do USB Host Mode. I ran USB Host Check, and Android.hardware.USB.host.xml was found, but, handheld_core_hardware.xml was not. I'm assuming this is why when I attempt to connect a USB device (nooelec USB sdr) i'm having issues working with the device even though I have the RTL2832U driver installed/configured.
I have not rooted. I'm assuming that the other xml/any other needed libraries needed to be able to power the device have to be installed in order to run this device without connecting it to a USB hub that is already powered, or? I tried to take a USB hub, plug the cable into an IPhone wall adapter so it'd have power, but, I had the same results.
Thoughts? I should still be able to use the device if I have an external power source, no?

hi i was wondering if anyone out there new if there was an SDIO USB HOST card, similar to the shown on the link below (but obviously SD not CF)
http://www.ratocsystems.com/english/products/subpages/cfu1u.html
if not, does anyone know/have tried the above CF to USB Host with a standard usb webcam and got it to work? if so can you explain how i go about setting it up.
thanks

i'd suspect that the fact that usb to host have to supply 5volt with 0.5mA
it could be an issue for something as thin as an sdcard
also not sure if the sdio interface even operate at 5v
usb host
I haven't seen an sdio to usb card, but I use my "htc universal" with it's mini usb as a usb 1.1 host. It works ok but you have to supply external power.
if you have that working you are the first and only person i know of who gotten any htc device act as usb host
sure there were rumors that it would do host
but later on ppl retracted those claims
After wiring up a cable for that, how do you set the phone to 'host mode'?
Thanks
usb host is not a mode
your pc is in host mode always
as are the 2 htc devices which do support
usb host out of the box
is a device is connected and the driver
is present the device works
Nope, USB host is a mode. It's the whole Master / Slave affair. Granted, it's automatic for most devices when another is connected... ah... that ought to answer my question I guess.
Hi friends,
I want to attach to my touchpad memory card reader and external hard drive.
I wonder if it will be possible instead of buying Y cable and connect it to the OTG, to use my existing USB hub and connect to him the devices and the external battery bank.
Will it work?
Thanks

im assuming youre talking about doing this in android 4.0.x +. if so then yes you should be able to connect an externally powered usb hub to the OTG cable and connect more than one device at a time.
Thanks

Yes. You need to give power to the periphal usb devices. I tried the same yesterday, without problems.
Hey all
I have a powered Belkin USB hub (this one: http://www.belkin.com/us/F4U040-Belkin/p/P-F4U040), coupled with an OTG cable which I know work together, as my Kindle Fire recognizes all USB devices through this setup (Keyboard, Mouse, Flash Drive etc).
I was surprised to find that my HP touchpad does not recognize any devices connected to this hub.
I did some diagnostics with USB Device Utility, and the touchpad recognizes my USB OTG cable, as it shows as a 'Qualcomm On-Chip EHCI Host Controller'.
The touchpad simply does not see anything plugged into the hub, be it a keyboard, mouse or flash drive.
Please help me here, guys!
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Are you sure that's powered? The picture doesn't show any DC connectors. Is it powered by something like a mini USB to USB cable on the back? If so, that might not be enough to power the device and the peripherals attached to the ports.
Belkin Hub

The belkin does have an external dc power supply and is not powered via usb
I think you need a Y cable even with a powered hub as its purpose is to inject power back into the OTG chip in the Touchpad.
I added the usb host support and flash drive and mouse work great. I was wondering if a USB powered hub would charge the Nook HD+ when multiple devices are connected.
I don't believe it will currently charge while using usb host is on. One or the other.
interesting, thanks for the response.
If you're using verygreen's firmware, there's some tips (info from 4pda.ru).
In order to charge Nook you have to power up the Hub first, then connect a devices to the hub, then connect the Nook, then switch USB Host mode.
USB flash drive automount works only if the drive connected to the first port on the hub or directly to the Nook.
If USB device consume more than 100mAh of power than you must use the Hub (even unpovered).
anyone else have this issue? when i plug in my phone to a usb 3.0 port it says this device can perform faster if connected to a super speed usb 3.0 port, when it already is. tried a different cable, and tried updating my usb 3.0 drivers...faulty port on the phone maybe?
usb 2.0 works fine...can still transfer files and charge no problem.

are you using the usb 3.0 cable that came with the device? if not thats probably why
The default USB Computer Connection setting (when connected to your computer) is to use either Media Device (MTP) or Camera (PTP) in USB 2.0 mode. You have to manually change it to Media Device (USB 3.0). I noted that after 10 minutes of inactivity my phone reverted back to Media Device as a USB 2.0 connection.

How do it change this to USB 3.0 Mode?
The option isn't there for me in the drop down menu? Yet it still says the device can transfer faster if connected to USB 3.0. help please!
As the title says, i can not get my PC to recognize nor will it connect to my phone. It will charge so i know its connected but no matter what PC or port it will not allow me to open up the phone storage or SD card. I have updated USB drivers, its got the debug enabled, tried kies ( hate it) and different cables both big connector and micro connector. Just would like to connect and sort / clean out the phone. Any one have other ideas? its 5.0, july 2015 kernel.
