Hi guys,
my mtcb unit has a couple of usb leads coming from it (ga5153f eonon)
Installed the radio a year or two ago so lost all documentation.
Anyway, im wondering if I could bang a portable hdd in my glove box and connect it to one of my hu usb leads if it would serve as extra storage for some music/what have you?
Failing that, does anyone know if the 32gb limit applies to using a usb stick... is there a storage size limit if using a hdd or usb stick?
nm, found an old page on eonons site... max is 32gb, no hdd's are supported

Hi guys,
When I connect a card reader/USB flash memory to the USB-port on the connected 4-in-1 cable, how to access these memories?
I also have an external hard disk, which has its own power supply (so no "too less power" issue), but the Athena doesn't do anything with it.
Do these attached memories need to appear as Storage drives in the file explorer?
Thanks.
I received my 4in1 cable yesterday and I found that it recognize hard drive randomly. I mean that not all USB memory are accepted by system. First of all it accepts only low voltage ones and not all are recognized. About mouse host...it recognize mouse but it's unable to show pointer, even with some drivers found on the this forum that should enable it...
So I would like to know what kind of commercial policy is this??? HTC says that with this cable and device you can host HD, mouse...but it's all pretentious, because to use it properly it's really hard!!!
I'm quite disappointed!
Again: when an USB storage device is connected, assuming it's a low voltage device, WHERE to access the memory??
It's an old thread, but what the hell. Plug your USB memory into your 4 in 1 cable. Use file explorer, go to "My Device" where you will see MicroDrive listed. Further down you will see "Hard Disk". That's it.
Thank you, this solves my problem.

mouse pointer works fine with me. Are you using wm6?
I don't think it's just a voltage issue with USB host on the x7500 - I just don't think it can cope with reading from large storage devices. Mine reads 1 gb and 2gb sticks fine. It also reads my 4gb and 8gb sticks but I experience drop-outs and slowdowns with the higher capacity sticks.
I should imagine that a 200gb HDD would send the x7500 loopy. Besides which I don't see the point in having a pocket pc with a mains connected hard drive wired to it. Might as well use a laptop as that would be more portable.
I got a little USB OTG host dongle, regular female with microUSB to fit in the GN. One 8 GB USB memory I could read, but another (16 GB) said unsupported file system. What can I use in the USB slot? Keyboard? Memory up to 8 GB? Anyone know what the restrictions are?
Usb keyboards, mice, wireless keyboard/mice, ps3 gamepad, wiimotes, memory card upto 64GB have been confirmed. It depends on the card. You could try reformatting card if it's not reading correctly. Some cards just don't play nice with phones. Others are fake! I've had varying success with different card readers in the past.
Yesterday I had no problem with a 32GB memory stick, I'm kind of impressed with what this phone is capable of, seems I can even watch HD movies on a big screen.

Hi Everyone,
Sorry, to post this here but I couldn't find a Nexus 7 (new Google Tablet) dedicated forum.
I have pre-ordered an 8GB model for a friend of mine over-seas in a place where there is no internet (not so easily available). However, they do use USB keys to transfer data, videos, pdfs, and music back and forth. Since the tablet doesn't have an SD Card slot, how can the USB port be used to transfer files say from a USB key? Would that even be possible? is there a converter for USB port to mini-USB port?
Thanks

Here is the Nexus 7 discussion group:

Yes, there is. Look up "Stickmount," by Chainfire. Apps cannot be run off it, but it is free and only requires a cheap OTG cable.
Wow, I spent a lot of time chasing this problem, thinking it was some setting in my HD+. (Since I tinker a lot disabling services.)
I have USBHost Switcher installed and it has worked fine. (With a gender changer of course.)
So I tried a brand new 32 GB Kingston USB 3.0 thumb drive I just got. (Supposedly compatible with USB 2.0.)
Nothing. I get a warning that the USB drive was "unexpectedly disconnected." (A race condition? Too fast?)
It's formatted FAT32, with 16kb clusters from the factory. (If cluster size matters to the Nook.) But I can mount a 32 GB FAT32 card with 32 KB clusters, and I can mount an old 256 MB USB 1.0 thumb drive. So the problem seems to be following the USB 3.0 drive. Any thoughts about this and what I can do to get it to play?
Before I concluded that the problem is with the USB 3.0 flash drive, I had tried my Passport WD 1TB external drive as another test of USBHost Switcher. That drive had worked before, but in the meantime I had reformatted it to exFAT. Can't see it on the Nook HD+ anymore. (Bad experimenting. Changing too many variables at once.) I'm guessing not seeing exFAT is a kernel problem?
Sigh. I'm not doing too well here with external storage. I thought I was being smart when androidpolice announced an Amazon sale on this Kingston flash drive. But maybe there's a reason it was on sale?
Some things need to be behind a usb hub. Don't know if that's one of them.
I have an OEM 16gb USB flash drive and a SanDisk 32gb flash drive. Both are USB 2.0, but the OEM doesn't work on my nook.
Have a look around this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2307585&page=9
The app TPUSBUmount can fix power issues removing the need to hide accessories behind a hub. Turn on the USBhostswitcher, open TPUSBUmount and connect your thumb drive. The TPUSBUmount will tell you if power if the problem

Thanks for the info. I tried the TPUSBUmount app and it reported a power problem with the Kingston USB 3.0 flash drive. Unfixable.
It turns out that the same flash drive also do not work with a Lenovo desktop machine.
Hello all, I just got this device free from my operator, SIM free, and I would like to share this particular aspect.
First of all make shure your X SP is fully charged and you are using a working USB OTG cable adapter (preferably tested on other devices).
1. USB pendrives, SD and microSD adapters. Xperia SP supports out of the box USB storage meaning pendrives and SD adapters like Sandisk Cruzer (some old 4GBmodel) and some Sandisk 32 GB microSD car in Sony Ericsson's IM 920 adapter. All of them formatted as FAT32.
Yes I've encountered fails but related exclusively to voltage (both pendrives and SD adapters). Dunno which will work for you, better try before you buy.
2. Yes it supports exFAT. FWs prior to ...2.254 do not. I've tested them all. I am specific to the aforementioned. exFAt meaning you can mount microSD cards 64+ gigs and virtually any filesizes, think of 8 GB .mkv files.
3. It hurts when it comes to HDDs. Before anything make sure your external HDD has also an external power supply. It means you have to see a wire leading to a wall socket which is being actually connected. Otherwise your phone or tablet will never be able to power by itself a HDD, be it 2.5 or 3.5 inch. Moving on, I found plugging in any externally powered HDD does nothing by itself.
In comes the trick. I own a Xperia LiveDock DK10 for the 2011 range. It's externally powered and also has an USB OTG input. It helped me before with each pendrive which didn't work by itself when plugged in the USB OTG cable alone. Powering the dock supplied the energy the setup was lacking.
Since the most of you will find the dock redundant or missing from stocks I am glad to inform you all that some USB hub that was lying around, branded Manhattan, with external power supply, did exactly that job.
Here are some examples:
Toshiba 500 GB HDD FAT32 file format, 2.5" form factor, IcyBox enclosure, separate power supply, plugged in the 1st port of a Manhattan USB Hub, power supply powered in, mini USB output plugged in USB OTG adapter in Sony Xperia SP, fully charged. Played 1080p mkvs smoothly.
1500 GB Seagate/Samsung, 2000 GB Hitachi NTFS formatted 3.5 HDDs in powered racks, externally powered Manhattan USB hub, USB OTG cable, Xperia SP rooted, installed Paragon exFAT, NTFS & HFS+ and Paragon USB plugin for Total Commander, full size drive fully accesible.
..............................
Also Sony Nex camera, 64GB exFAT SD card inside, connected only with USB OTG cable on Xperia SP - working.
Thanks, u have photos?
