Use full usb keyboard

Hey everyone..
I would really love to connect a full usbkeyboard to my Magic 32A..
But then i connect my logitech G15, nothing happens..
I think it because of the need of a HID driver.. But i am not sure..
Does anyone now where i can get a HID driver for android?
//Reffer

lol. No. Just no

LMAO. FAIL.

If I remember correctly, there's a lot of posts about this on the official SDK mailinglist/forum/whatever. If you google it I'm sure you'll find something.
And shoo to the last two posters!

Hey mockillo. Thx for posting a answer i actually could use to something..
The only post i could find on SDK was this one: http://groups.google.com/group/andr...hl=en&lnk=gst&q=usb+keyboard#7397813348f7a9fa
And they say that android not support BLuetooth HID.. But nothing about normal.. I think i will try to make a topic in there too..

That's not how USB works. If you want a full keyboard you'll have to get a bluetooth keyboard & wait for the bluetooth SDK to be released (maybe rooted users can use bluetooth keyboards already?)

USB host
does anyone know if Magic hardware supports USB host? If so, it would be possible with 2.1
Just check this out: _ttp://jkontherun.com/2010/02/17/how-to-add-a-usb-keyboard-to-an-android-phone/

appearently MAKE magazine did an article about it. I say it just might work. but you may want to talk to some devs to see how to get into usb OTG mode with a mytouch.

anyone tried this?

on my last check no dev is building with USB HOST built into there roms ( things can connect to phone) unlike the normal usb slave (your phone can connect to things ) , plus if you were to use your phone as a host it would need to power the connected device (ie. Keyboard)
some good news ...
Most roms built off of CM source have a bluetooth HID stack... So like me i use a bluetooth keyboard (logitech media board for ps3) and it works great. And drains the battery no more than a bluetooth head set.

same goes to me

haha. A funny guy... lol.....
You should find driver for that keyboard... I think...

Try v.mote this is exactly what you want... just the opposite (the phone become a keyboard..)

[Q] USB host, Access Android files from WebOs

Hi all,
after using the touchpad for couple of days, I sem to mis the following functions:
Access to my Android folders from WebOs, I understand that it got a WebOs, but when there is 32GB on the touchpad or 16GB for that matter a file explorer would prove handy.
The other issue I miss in both WebOs and Android is the USB host, there is a youtube video explaining that the touchpad does not have enough power to connect a USB memory or keybord or USB anything! and shows a work around, but not so practical.
The btouchpad got a 6800 mA battery, while my Galaxy S II got 1650 mA battery, yet my SGSII phone can host quite well! not to mention other cheap chinese tablets.
Is it a software issue that could be updated?

Well I'm pretty sure with the webOS file manager you can see the same internal SD as long as its not hidden. I don't know what you mean by android files.
The thing about the USB host is firstly the TouchPad doesn't have a full sized USB port so most peripherals would be impossible or impractical. That would only make sense for the producers to not give the voltage overhead to achieve some crazy mess of adapters and wires in a machine that was meant to be wholly wireless and cloud based. HP gave you a 50GB box account so you wouldn't need a USB flash drive and Bluetooth so you van get their Bluetooth keyboards and mice.

Thanks for the reply,
to browse the folders in webOS(I mean all the folders, even those created by android, downloaded in Android) it took I don't know what to call it but it is the equivelant of rooting or jil breaking.
Did not expepriment yet with USB host.
You must have been in a situation where you meet somebody somewhere has couple of gigs files in a USB memory to transfer to you, all that is around you is your phone or tablet , easiest way is to transfer it right there and then.
Not something that you wil need everyday , but very very handy to have when you need it, even cheap chinese tablets can do it, many phones can do it, Archos does it from day one. it is alot more common and main stream than the way you describe it.
thanks again for your input

Usb host mode is only available with a powered usb hub and a "Y" cable as the micro usb port on the TP does not supply enough power to use without the powered hub. For file transfers between devices I would recommend some of the excellent wifi transfer programs.
As for accessing android files within WebOS, all you need is internalz Pro file manager. WebOS does not require any sort of "Jailbreaking" to access files. Install preware on the webOS side and tweek to your hearts content.

Are you sure? Did you use this? Because it looks like this thing have 160ma battery, which is simply a joke.
OP, there is still a chance that self-powered Host is possible, but it's not guaranteed and it's not the first priority for devs.

It depends on your needs and maybe other options do the same or even better than a USB connection.
in case you need quick access to the Touchpad have a look at Airdroid or some ftp-server (e.g. swift-ftp).
It is very easy and comfortable with these apps.

[Q] Wifi-Direct, USB-OTG

hey guys! does anyone tried this functions on razr i?

theres no wifi direct option...
havent tried otg

No USB-OTG @stock. If I plug and USB stock, nothing appends
Maybe with something like Stickmount
About Wi-Di, as it's an Intel Device, maybe can we hope some support on day. I don't know if the Medfield SoC is WiDi compliant.
The Lenovo K800 is WiDi, no reason that the Razr i will no be..

I am so longing for USB OTG.... can't wait to use DSLR Controller with this cell phone.
:/
Maybe Motorola will release a ROM that includes USB Host functionality?

Mmmh, still no USB OTG with JB.... dammit

I've heard OTG doesn't work because the razr I as it doesn't output any power and usb devices need power, I have ordered a lead which has a separate lead to supply power to the usb device and I'll update when I receive it and have tested.
Sent from my XT890 using xda premium

So the lead came and to my sadness doesn't work for my razr I :'(
I was looking forward to that too
Sent from my XT890 using xda premium

I'm currently using an powered OTG cable to connect my mouse and keyboard on my xt890.
the pen drive is not working im gonna test some mods on that,

OTG is working but only devices like mouse, keyboard, pad etc. USB drives doesn't work cause kernel has no option for that. To use OTG You need to connect devices through powered USB hub.
Wysłane z Motorola RAZR i.

For WifFi Direct you can use this app : SuperBeam
Cheers

I tried it but failed to connect with Galaxy Mini II.

Did you switch on your WiFi ? Even for me it works only on certain devices but most of the time I forget to turn on the WiFi.

Yes I did. :/ It fails starting to transfer file.

Hmm. That's weird. Maybe you could try their IP Address method. I'll have to get back to you later because I don't a spare android smartphone. If it works I'll give you a description of what to do. Maybe its the new upate that's causing it. You could also try an older version of the app.

It's Bluetooth conected trough USB...
Like a USB Reciever thats in the device..

what steps have tried to fix the issue?

I cant get it to work thats why i ask somebody to help...

need more details. you only said your mouse doesn't work and that's it. no one can help you with the itty bitty info you gave. There over 200,000 different types of mouses out there in the market and you haven't declared which one is yours.

Amora is right OwnDroid. We need more to work with.
1) make and model of the mouse?
2) are you using a USB hub?
3) did you turn on dev settings? If yes did you turn on usb0 debugging? If yes...did you accidentally plug the mouse into usb0?
4) it is a new mouse? Does it work if plugged into any other system?
5) which USB post is it plugged into (0 or 1) and have to tried switching them?
Etc.

My acer 2.4 keyboard and mouse instantly connected. My two bluetooth keyboards slow to connect but do eventually work. Have you opened the bluetooth settings?

Man, same here! My Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse don't connect, it doesn't accept input through my touch screen monitor (Dell), a USB mouse doesn't do anything (works with everything else PC-wise), and I don't even own a wired keyboard.
Another electronic device in the bucket to use for target practice!

You have to contact support if ur USB ports aren't functioning.

My Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse can pair but the mouse cursor doesn't move at all. I am connected this mouse directly to my Acer Switch Alpha 12 and I can confirm this worked under my dual boot Windows 10. Anyone have way around this?

@Yitan - please query in the Remix Os for Pc forum. This thread is in the Remix Mini forum.
Thanks!

If you enabled developer mode, turn off usb0 debugging off.

Problem with OTG&USB N950F

Hi everyone
here I've got a terrible issue with my note 8 and SAMSUNG USB OTG.
When I connect my otg and a flash memory to phone, nothing happens, unless you force restart the phone while the otg is connected. After booting I can access to my flash memory but after removing the otg and reconnecting it, again nothing happens unless force restarting.
I've tried everything possible. Downgrading, upgrading, 4 files rom, pit file, rom from different zones, but still have the problem. I have no other issues regarding the USB port and charging, fast charging, connection to computer and any other stuff works fun but this OTG.
I wanted to know if anyone have any solutions for my problem or if anyone had the same issue or not.
it is also worth to mention that I have not rooted my phone due to warranty issues, and for that I haven't tested any kernels.
thanks for everyone

That isn't right... As soon as I plug in my OTG USB key it detects it, no restart required.

allow file transfer .... possible

Nope, I have developer options enabled but debugging isn't on. never had to enable file transfer.
When I plug in the OTG device I see a usb icon in the notification panel. Swipe down and pick explore. Mind you it only opens in the stock file explorer, I did have another file explorer that picked it up too but can't think what it is and it has been lost myriad of other apps I test and play with...
Just be aware that it may take a few seconds to scan the device,depending on size, and then display the icon.

i know it sounds weird but from past experience flaky USB drives are more trouble than they are worth, from first hand experience i know patriot, corsair and sandisk work well as OTG drive
also you neglected to mention the file system the USB was formatted with, i believe only FAT, FAT32 and exFAT are supported

also possible that the phone doesn't like your OTG adapter. I bought a usb 2.0 to type C adapter which doesn't even work on the phone - when I plug it in usually the moisture sensor error comes up saying water is in the device and I should let it dry. Unplug the OTG and the error goes away.
So... I bought a USB 3.0 A to type C OTG adapter and that one works fine with everything I've tested (usb flash drives, keyboard, usb ethernet adapter, etc)

I believe the USB-C to USB-A adapter that came with the phone is actually an OTG adapter (tested xbox360 controller and keyboard)
I also believe that the note8 can host usb flash drive native (no need for OTG cable) as i have a dual head USB-C and USB-A flash drive which is recognized once the USB-C end is plugged in

Sorry to dredge up a semi old thread, but has anyone found a fix for this?
I'm having almost the same issue, I finally decided to try out the OTG adapter from the box and nothing works, it isn't even recognized. Tried ps4 controller, mouse, keyboard 2 different thumb drives. Can't figure out what the deals is.
Other than that pc connection seems to work and charging works fine. TIA

I'm having a similar problem. A month ago, used both OTG adapters (original from Samsung and a generic one) it detects my memory sticks as a hard-disk and was able to manage my files. But since a couple of weeks ago it does not detect them anymore. Is like it did not supply charger to them anymore. I have tried the USB debugging menu and no difference at all. Even I got back to factory reset expecting to solve the issues but nothing happened. The port as such is working perfectly because I'm able to charge through it. On the other hand, Samsung DEX is not working as well. It just charges the phone but never boot-up.
I'm just waiting for Oreo and hopes this will sort the problems out.

Seems to be a little bit dusty. Anyway, the other thing is that, when the Usb is detected it ask to choose between transfer files, images, midi device and so on, even if I choose "transfer files" mode it always get stuck as "charge connected device".

Hi i have the same problem... my note 8 can connected mith my notebook, but my otg with an usb stick cant recognize my note8. I test the same otg with usb stick on my friends phone example S8 and it detects promptly all.
I hope the fixing take not long time. I waiting for help. Greets

Well, adding one more case here, my native file manager doesn't recognize any memory connected via the original otg conector, but, using x-plore file manager, problem solved, as I use x-plore since my symbian days, I never gave this issue much importance, this problem was present also with my note 7
