[2013.04.11][2.3.1+] USB Host Diagnostics v1.3

[emelie]

Hey chainfire, thanks for your work on this!
As always much appreciated!

Only one thing: would be great if you could make the headers of the results table clickable to have the table sorted by e.g. Report count or fingerprint.

Will "NO" candidates have the chance to revive this USB OTG function?

 

[abrarabbu]

On Arc?
It supports USB using few modules but its said that it will damage the port...

May be live dock can help

 

[Omya]

will dis work on moto defy ?

Great job.
When I start it, it detech my thumb drive, but then it said my SD card is remove or demage and cannot read. Same problem after reboot. I am using GS2 @XXLPB.

High Speed supported?

Hi,
I'm new to the forum and I'm going to write drivers for high speed usb devices.
I would like to know if USB Host Diagnostics v1.2 supports detection of high speed.
I mean, I found some hardware with USB 2.0 but they didn't support high speed (480 mb/s) transfers in host mode. Does USB Host Diagnostics v1.2 check for this issue?

I have another question... I would like to buy a TF201 to start writing software for USB devices; is anyone aware if it supports high speed USB transfers? How fast is USB on this device? And in other Android devices?

Thank you so much in advance!
Giorgio

No answer for ten days.

I have the same issue. The Samsung Galaxy S2 with the latest two ICS builds (the "official" release as well as the leaked one previous to that) seem to not work with my high-speed hardware, now (the early February release DID work). Flash drives and such work so I know the port is, physically, OK.

This is an important test. Can it be done? Somewhere the system needs to know and I would hope report if the port is in full- or high-speed mode.

And if anyone from Samsung is listening... fix that damn phone! The Nexus works (4.0.2), great, but you broke the S2.

I would think so. I don't know of a tablet that does not. If looking for a phone, the Galaxy Nexus works in high-speed (about 160 Mb/s from my tests). be aware that you may not get the full 400 Mb/s bandwidth with these resource constrained devices.

Indeed I have the same problem with SGS2 and ICS, as it doesn't even enumerate the device when connected.
Seems from dmesg that the problem is in "parent hub has no TT", as after this error the device fails enumeration. Well this bug has already been up earlier in some kernels:

Wonder if anyone has any advice or knows the problem I am experiencing.

I have a GNex GSM. One of the specific features I wanted was USB Host Mode (already using it on my TF101). Was obviously disappointed when I found out 4.0 and 4.0.1 didn't work. Eventually I upgraded the phone to 4.0.2 - the first version that had this fixed. Again stumped - didn't realise the requirement for an OTG cable when not using a full sized port. Got that cable instead - bingo, keyboard and mouse worked perfectly.

Disappointed again on the USB stick issue - but understand the mount/root requirement, so unrelated to the actual USB Host Mode functionality.

But.... a couple of weeks later I wanted to use it again... now it doesn't work. I recently upgraded to 4.0.4, and then the small update to 4.0.4 - neither of those worked either. None of the USB tools on the market detect any device any more. And your app says Claims support/APIs/Kernel - Yes, but all devices detected say No.

I know I didn't have to enable anything to get it working, but am I overlooking something else? Or are there any apps I may have installed that could be interfering? (seems unlikely given not even the kernel seems to see anything)

Nothing is logged in logcat (again not really surprising if the Kernel isn't seeing anything). I took a look at dmesg - when I connect a device using the OTG cable I get:

         <4>[ 6146.450744] omap_hsi omap_hsi.0: Disabling clocks with HST FSM not IDLE !

When I connect to a PC for MTP mode, I get:

<6>[ 6319.683776] fsa9480 4-0025: cable detect change, from 'unknown/none' to 'u

So it seems to be detecting a state change with the OTG and identifying it as Host Mode, but can't see any device....

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

That's weird, I would try completely reflashing and reupdating your device. I'm running my Galaxy Nexus on 4.0.4 as well, and at least DSLR Controller is working. StickMount had an issue I'll look into later, but DSLR Controller working does prove USB support is working on my device.

 

[colin.jones]

UPDATE: cable just this second arrived! Sorry to bother you - it was the cable's fault

thanks - it was completely reflashed going to 4.0.3, doing it again is a pain cos I don't want to root so that I can backup apps/config, and as I'm on Voda Australia which uses 850 and needs a specific baseband, so its fiddling around a bit.

Since this, I've convinced myself that its the cable. No idea how it could have become damaged, but I persuaded someone else to reflash to 4.0.4 and they had the same experience with this cable, so I've ordered a new one to see if that fixes it

Hi Chainfire,

Thanks for the app. Im using a Micromax P300 ICS tablet and pendrives and mice seem to work fine, and the app is able to detect and display all the info.

I was playing around with a "non-standard" USB device which enumerates as a CDC class device, and am able to see the VID/PID in your app. However, the device fails to work with the Micromax P300.

The same device works fine on a Sony Tablet P, when tested with the same app.

Here are the differences between the tabs as diagnosed by your app:

Verdict:
Sony Tablet S - All "YES"
Funbook(P300) - Claims Support and Device detected - "NO"

I noticed a "Rooted" result under Third-Party Apps column.

Does this mean that in order to get a non-standard device working, my app has to request for SU permission?

Any pointers on how this can be done will be appreciated

Thanks!

On my Galaxy S2 Stock ICS 4.0.3 flash drives are detected but mouse and keyboard are not.

Android API: Claims Support = YES
Rooted API: Claims Support = NO

Can anyone throw some light on this?

What is a Rooted API? What permissions does my app need to ask to access USB devices?

Please help.

I have just run the diagnostics against a USB device which did work in the previous GB version on the Samsung Galaxy S2, but after the ICS upgrade my device won't mount.
I just tried a custom ROM and I get the same issue, is there a way forward or do I have to just wait till google get it right?

You would have thought USB mounting would be easy right?

 

[sachinagga]

can work on LG optimus 2X

Please suggest, will this app will work on LG optimus 2x

Nexus 7

I checked with the Nexus 7 and it can't recognize a USB keyboard or mouse. But a flash drive is recognized. Which is exactly the opposite of what AnandTech reviews suggested. This seems to be borne out by http://usbhost.chainfire.eu/.

The problem is that even though it recognizes the USB drive, I can't see it in any file explorer. I do see a /usbdrive, but it's empty.

I can see the drive using the same OTG cable in a Galaxy Nexus with Stick Mount. Haven't rooted the Nexus 7 yet, so can't test that yet.
