Compatible USB Host Cables

Does anyone have any recommendations for a compatible USB host cable for use with a USB Flash drive?
Would this work for example?

Don't think the nook supports this, you need to have support for being a usb host for it to work. Perhaps all the views are people hopeful for said support?

Buy it and let us know. Hows that for a reply?

waiting for guinea pig

Nook Color does not currently have support to host USB devices.

You might be able to get that to work if you write a driver. Otherwise, it's no more likely to work than any other USB device that you manage to connect via adapters.

Thanks for the clarification.
I'm coming from the Archos 101 which does have USB host drivers.
cheers

I think that USB Host support is probably just a matter of time on the Nook Color. It needs EHCI_omap driver etc. The folks working on the Beagle Board have a similar chipset environment (only the TS chip in the Nook Color is just a catalog version of but similar to the one on the beagle board). I saw a thread where they were doing some tests for USB Host and i think they are having some preliminary success. I think i'm going to press the Easy button on this one and just see when support gets added.

just wanted to sub to this thread...

[Q] Tv-out from incredible s?

is it possible to achieve mirroring using incredible s?
any connector or custom rom??
please do reply!
thanks...

I recall asking this before and got nothing.

It is possible by using the DLNA interface... I don't know very much about it myself, but I know you have to have either a TV with DLNA built in (as some new HDTVs do), or an adaptor like this one.

DLNA means you can wirelessly share media. You can not mirror your device.
Here's something interesting though: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.idisplay.virtualscreen

i saw the original droid incredible do it using a micro usb to rca .... somewhere on google... and there are cables available like these..

Apologies, looks like I misread the post...

Note ICS now support OTG gamepads?

Google said that the ICS (or honeycomb) will support
generic gamepads via OTG connection and I was curious to know
if the new ICS update on the Note supports it.
People has tested this with the new S3 and it seems that it even support
wii motes and PS3 controllers
http://www.androidnz.net/2012/05/samsung-galaxy-s3-more-secrets-revealed.html
anyone tested this with the note?

What do we do with ps3 controllers on OTG? bluetooth is enough for gaming rite?

I am not sure if GS3 supports PS3 blutooth (with out root method)
I guess not because they share different bluetooth protocol.
and the point is ICS should support OTG gamepads and I wanted to
know if it is working on the ICS updated Note.

Doesn't work. I tried a USB Xbox 360 controller on both the German, and Taiwan official ICS releases.

worked

weired. I just connected my general usb joypad (for computers)
via OTG to my Note and it works.
It doesnt understand the presses though. I think you need a seperate
app to set each buttons. But it does move around the screen and
I can press apps.

What would be cool, is a controller/gamepad that allows you to attach a handset onto the top, avoiding the need for wired/wireless connectivity and at the same time provide a more comfortable gamepad experience.

Video output

Is there any accessories, which should I order to connect my Nexus 7 to video projector (HDMI, VGA)?

I thought there was a USB to HDMI cable somewhere... i found it in a other post.
dont have a link..

I was under the assumption the N7 has no video out support?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

You mean anything like this http://www.amazon.com/Menotek-Adapter-IMPROVED-Protocol-Sensation/dp/B005F9W6DU?

So it seems it will not work http://www.theverge.com/2012/6/29/3127278/nexus-7-mhl-usb-otg

Did't know that.. like other things about the N7
so i dont have to order this.

I was hoping it would have usb host aka usb on the go so that I could hook up my Canon DSLR and use this as a remote shutter/video screen for shooting advanced movies etc. It was more of a side wish, but not a killing point, however I really do hope future firmwares would include this.

I'm guessing google don't want any video out accessory because they plan on selling the Nexus Q

no MHL and no HDMI.
basically there is no video-out on the device. sucks but true.

No MHL
Not having MHL support and no support to external HDD/pen drive was a big disappointment indeed.
For the lack of MHL, there might be soon a great alternative: Android Transporter software + Raspberry Pi
For external HDD/pen drive support, I'm sure someone will figure out a solution soon

First Tablet

Hi all, Just a quick question to all of you using tablets these days. First I just got nexus 7 for my b'day and now im on the market for .... everything. I would like to know if you guys experienced some issues with log me in on your tablet. What are best ways to use and utilise the tablet. Also another question is a cable, can i use MHL or Micro HDMI cable with this tablet or is that a no-no? If so would the same cable work with my GNex? What apps would you recommend and generally anything related to this. Any input suggestion or, in the end, discussion is welcomed.
Edit#2 can you connect USB drives or sticks to it, if so how?

MHL/HDMI is a nono yes. The only way I'm aware of it being done is through a Raspberry Pi, you may aswell forget about that now
I wouldn't use LogMeIn to be honest, take a look at SplashTop HD
Finally, you need a USB-OTG (on the go), then a normal memory stick/usb hard drive. Download an App called StickMount(Rooted) or Nexus Media Importer (Non-Rooted) and away you go.
PS - Welcome to the best little tablet !

Thanks for such a quick reply! Shame that there is no MHL capabilities. I sort of need log me in for work purpouses. I tried on the phone and the app worked flawlessly but on the baled graphic was gone and frankly speaking unusable.
USB OTG just plug it it, than my stick, run my app and off it works?
Can i connect keyboard and mouse same way?
Cheers
