[Q] Playing music through usb in car

I'm having an issue playing music through USB on my Pioneer car stereo. I've tried mass storage and music player modes with USB debugging turned on and off with no luck. Any one else experience this?

I have the exact same problem. Still cannot figure out how to play music through USB port on my car stereo system. I was able to do this with my old Iphone 3G but not on Captivate. But I was able to stream music using Bluetooth feature on Captivate onto my car stereo system.

Did you mount the sdcards while in mass storage mode, just like hooking up to the computer. My Pioneer, and my JVC deck do it just fine, it treats them as a flash drive. The one that doesnt work is my first gen Sync system in my Focus.

I use an aux cable. Sound quality is just fine with my epic. I have a 5000watt system in my car controled threw my pioneer h/u

I have tried that also. I'm using Cognition Beta 6 if that helps.

Is your music on the external SD card?

No it is on the internal SD card

The best way to do this is to get an external microSD card and format it to FAT32. Car stereos only seem to recognize that file format. You probably want debugging off and the phone in mass storage mode while driving.

Needs to be on the external card for me.

Moving to external SD didn't help

yeh didn't use to work for me, but after putting an external card in the slot (sandisk 32gb) and updating to stock jh7 (not sure which one did it)
it works now. however only recognises the external card.

I think its a problem with something in the beta 2.2 firmwares. If I go back to 2.1 everything works if I go to any 2.2 variant it doesn't work. I guess its the price to pay for beta, but hopefully it gets resolved in the final revisions.

audio out usb???

Ok, so i am sure this is a "noob" type question but here goes.... How do i get my captivate to play audio through the usb cable??? I have a new stereo in my truck that has a usb input but for some reason i can't get it to recognize my phone. I am currently running Slim's ICS Rom and whenever i plug in the usb it automatically goes into usb debugging. Please help, i know this is probably and easy question for some of you but i am having difficulty with this.

Have you tried turning off USB debugging? Settings - Applications - Development - USB debugging. Once you do that, it might recognize it.
You'll probably also want to pay attention to where on the phone it's looking for audio files and update your folder structure accordingly (e.g. if it's looking on the external SD, put your music there, if internal SD, put it there).

Have pulling the notification bar and press connect USB...

i thought the "usb connect" was only for transferring data/files from pc to phone. i know when i was stock (and some previous ROMS) there was a Media Player or Mass Storage option also when connecting the usb cable, but i do not see that as an option with this ROM. I will try and move the music to the internal RAM (now it's on external sd card) and see if that helps.

Well you must have a option to mound your sd card I you do that your you stereo will detect you phone and read you music file try putting your all you media into the music file if you mound your sd card it should read it but if it doesn't try changing your cable... : )

ok, the external sd card is mounted to the phone. i put music on both the external sd and the internal memory, tried to "connect usb" when asked and still my stereo does not find music to play. i thought i read some place before that i need the car/home dock app so i tried that and still no luck.
any other suggestions?????

DVD drive connects to nexus 7 via USB OTG :)

I managed to connect via USB OTG a samsung dvd drive to my nexus 7 using nexus media importer app. you have to toggle the dvd drive to AV mode otherwise this wont work.
see demo on my youtube upload http://www.youtube.com/my_videos_edit?ns=1&show_mt=1&video_id=yvoyab75QgQ
this should work for all android devices if your device has usb otg support. so if the nexus 10 has usb otg support it should work for the nexus 10 as well!
see uploads too if interested here http://www.youtube.com/user/veryannoyingname/videos?flow=grid&view=0 and cast an eye on my play lists too http://www.youtube.com/user/veryannoyingname/videos?flow=grid&view=1
hope you like my uploads and play lists. if you like my uploads please share them too with your friends too.
have a nice day

Have you considered the problem of continuation of the battery if you use a USB DVD drive?

Have you managed to play an entire DVD that way? I can't even get a movie on a memory stick to play more than 15 minutes with this setup.

i have used the device to play video files and also for wireless back up. back up is slow but that feature was just a bonus. mainly interested in playing files off flash drives attached to it wirelessly. havent used it to play full dvd but will check it one of these days and get back here. i mainly used it while travelling during our holiday and havent used it much since. will check it out and get back.

I have NP watching a movie off the flash drive using otg.
Stock ROM and kernel.

AW: DVD drive connects to nexus 7 via USB OTG
Why is it exactly that seemingly it is not possible to integrate a CD/DVD driver into Android??
The XDA people can do SO much, why can't anyone port an ISO-9660 filesystem driver for USB from Linux???

I have an old external dvd writer (CompUsa) lying in storage that I hooked up to my Nexus 7 and the app Nexus Media importer recognizes it too.
But that is where it all stops and nothing else going forward since holding down the eject button for a while does nothing to this generic dvd-writer to make the necessary FAT32 transition.
File manager is also able to see it in dev/usb but since there is no way to convert the file systems am unsure as to how to proceed without a driver for android.
Knew it would not work and thought I will just put it up here if anyone can think of any work around.

Only a drive that can do av mode can work. If your drive works when connected to your tv via usb then it should work with your nexus too using the app.

I have managed to go one step further where NMI asks for which partition I wish to use. However the single named partition does not do anything when clicked. The name however offers some insight. It says 7.7 GB - CD/DVD drives only supported in AV Connect mode. However I do not know how to switch the Reader/NMI (I do not know which must have its mode changed.) To this AV connect mode. I am using a VicTsing DVD Reader/Writer.

[Q] Does The HTC One Support Multi Device Mounting ?

Can anyone tell me if my HTC One (FW 4.3, rooted and fully chraged) can be used with more than one mounted device at a time ?
My aim is to mount a CF card reader and a portable HDD, so I can transfer photos (RAWs) from the reader directly to the HDD.
I've bought a powered USB 3 hub and downloaded the "Nexus Media Importer" app.
But, I'm unable to make 2 devices show at once. Even if I try 2 USB sticks.
All the devices will show up individually, but not when more than one device is connected.
I've connected the USB hub to my PC and it works perfectly.
I'm not sure if the problem is the app or if the phone can't handle mounting 2 or more devices.
Thank you for any help.

Anyone ?

Nexus 7 Rooted OTG 1TB Hard Drive issues NTFS

Hello,
I have a Nexus 7 that is rooted stock ROM w. Timur kernel with OTG + Hub capabilities. OTG + Charging + Hub capabilities seem to all work fine. My problem is that I have a 1TB external hard drive that I connect to the hub and mount via Stickmount that doesn't seem to want to pull in all of my files. I installed the necessary files to ensure that NTFS read+write worked properly, and it does. The drive mounts without an issue, and all of the files show up in File Manager or File Explorer. However, a massive majority of the files aren't showing up in Play Music or PlayerPro, and I'm not entirely sure why that is. I figured that I would just take a decent amount of time for the app to "pull in" and recognize all the files on the 1TB drive, but I gave it about an hour and I'm still not seeing about 90% of my music library (as in, I'm seeing the original 20/200 or so bands that populated into the app, but no more than those after an hour).
1) Would a different app resolve this issue?
2) Would formatting the 1TB drive to FAT32 resolve the issue?
3) Does anyone know offhand why this is happening exactly?
Thanks!
