Lg Ks20 Usb Otg?

[VidMan]

With this whole driver controversy and HTC not paying for Qualcomm drivers, I was wondering if USB OTG was left out on the Kaiser but not on the KS20. Can any KS20 owner please check if USB OTG works on
the KS20. I really miss not having the ability to directly transfer files from my flash drive to the phone.

Thanks

P.S. Checking the KS20 rom dump, there is a file named msm7200otg.dll that is NOT on the Kaiser. This could get interesting.

Bump: Am I the only one who cares about this?:confused:

maybe nobody has a ks20, im interested too in this, but im not a ks20 owner so i cant help...

Unlike graphics, I believe USB OTG would require different hardware to work. The Kaiser would have to have the hardware necessary to supply a certain amount of power to the USB port, as well as the ability to be a USB host. I would not get your hopes up.

AFAIK the port isnt capable of USB hosting. So its a no go.

I know, thet you can use KS20 like USB-Stick.
But i dont think it have one USB-Host.

If you want, you can find KS20 Service Manuals (was here some were) and look there, if it is possible with this hardware.

msm7200otg.dll ?
that sounds promising

Well, I just got hold of a KS20 service manual and I found some relevant information about the USB functions of the KS20.
Interpret these as you want:

Page 28 of the service manual: USB-OTG transceiver for full-speed (12 Mb/s) and low-speed (1.5 Mb/s) interfacing of the MSM device to
computers as a USB peripheral, or connecting the MSM device to other peripherals
-I wonder what other peripherals are?

Page 35: USB OTG core supports both slave and limited host functionality.
-I believe here's our answer!

Ok, so at least we now know that USB OTG can be implemented. However, I have absolutely no idea how, or if, we can get this to work on the Kaiser.

Some food for thought.

I have the LG KS20 for 3 weeks now and am happy so far with all its functions working flawlessly. As usual with Windwos Mobile it needs Softresets from time to time. Annoying is the fact that it doesn`t show the SDmicro card or its content unless you perform a soft reset - every time !?

USB HOST function:

it is possible to use the LG KS20 in that way ONLY: it will allow you just to exchange data with/from the inserted SDmicro card in the phone - nothing else !
So definetely no full USB Host support here.
