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

[no_cannabis]

No love for Motorola RAZR GSM on 4.0.4. When I connect keyboard a notification appears to choose the input, but with a flash drive - nothing.

Root only?

on the Huawei MediaPad 7" it reports

Verdict
OS support	3rd party apps
Yes			Rooted

Is there some way (custom kernel?) to make 3rd party apps fully supported? The Tivizen app does not recognize the DVB-T Stick and the DSLR app ignores a connected D90

thanks

 

[NoteGarner2020]

Will any kernel work on any ICS rom I am currently using Virtuous ROM ICS alpha 3 build. I wanted to connect my Camera for DSLR controller. Please help me out with this.

Nice App!
It would be even better if you can explain the concepts of those terminology?
1. Android API: Claims support / Classes found / Device Detected?
2. Rooted API: Claims support / Device Detected?
As for kernel?

Thank you~

 

[mohsyn]

Does not work on Micromax Tab P300 (momo9 Ployer compatible)

chainfire's supported devices page reports that Host is OS supported / Rooted

Im on ICS 4.0.3 - rooted

USB Host diagnostic does not do anything except ask me if device is recognized which it is not

Is this a Kernel driver issue or the cable has to be given additional power because on same cable my point and shoot cam is working fine getting registered as Mass Storage

Cheers

I'm also really interested in what the above result exactly means. I assume that it means that the device has to be rooted for 3rd party apps to be able to use the USB OTG feature.

But if the device is rooted will 3rd party apps then be able to use the USB OTG feature like they could on a device with gets reported as "3rd party apps: YES" ?

Unfortunately I can't just try it because I don't have an Android phone yet but I'm rather looking for one for a college project in which USB OTG support for third party apps is required. I'm thinking about getting an Xperia U because it seems like one of the "cheapest" devices with USB OTG support but before I go ahead and buy it I would really love to know if it'll actually function as a fully USB OTG capable device once it's rooted.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I just wish that people would be able to enter the names of their roms/kernels. Because I for one have JZO54K/JRO03L and it's just impossible to find out that that is Slim Bean 3.1.0 with the default kernel it comes with.

But even worse - I find these reports of people getting USB host to work on their SGH-I897's and I can't figure out what roms they are running just based on e.g. "IML74K/eng.onecosmic.20120204.223407". Seems like it might be Team ICSSGS but they haven't released a version for I897 afaik. And Android Open Kang Project may or may not have that signature.

For the past few days I have been trying to mount my seagate 1tb portable usb 2.0 drive to galaxy note 2.
I even formatted the drive to fat 32 format to get it supported and tried different apps from play store. Flashed different roms too.
Now I am on omega version 8 the latest build but still I am not able to use my portable drive with otg cable.
Anyone have similar issue,share with me.
I think many have such issues.

Guys! Help me regarding this. I Googled for solution but didn't get one.
Please help me regarding this or find me a solution.
Thanks.

Some devices detected, some not

Hi,
I've a tablet from China that I want to hack. It claims to have USB OTG support. I tried your app first, but it never detected the device. I entered "dmesg" and looked up the error-messages and found out how to fix it: a android.hardware.usb.host.xml file was missing in the /system/etc/permissions/ folder.
Now it works in so far, that it can detect some devices (like USB stick), but others it doesn't. E.g. brother printer or Logitech USB mouse (although the mouse itself works, I can see and use the cursor, however, it is not detected as a device).
There is another app called "USB Device Info" which displays a list of connected USB devices. It finds the mouse in the linux category, however it is not detected by the Android USB API (the device list is empty for some devices).

dmesg gives me the following messages when connecting the "not recognized devices":

Does anybody have an idea what could be the reason for that?

Hi, I tried to use Android USB Host API to connect my custom USB device to no-name china tablet. I didn't expect any problems since the tablet managed all kinds of USB gadgets - mices, keyboards, bluetooth dongles etc. Unfotunately, the API cannot enumerate my device. So I tried to diagnose the probelm and I tried app called USB Host Controller. This app could enumerate my device with no problems.
Then I tried your app. The app shows Android API doesn't claim support. But your app also mentions "Rooted API" - which was able to detect my device. What is the rooted API and how can I use it in my application? I just need to enumerate the device, open two bulk endpoints and write or read data from them.

SAME PROBLEM!
rooted Android 4.1, dual core Rockchip Android minPC UG007/Imito MX1(same hardware), Working devices: active USB hub, mouse, keyboard, usb touchscreen, usb storage (flash drive, portable hdd, camera).
usb-serial for android test app from google, arduino commander, USB Device info App doesn't see any usb host api devices. USB Device info sees all devices in linux.
"lsusb" - sees arduino uno R3
"lsmod" - doesn't see arduino or usbserial module
there no ttyUSBX device in /dev/ folder
"dmesg | tail" shows that arduino is found. It assign it some serial numbers. No error output.
there is corresponding to arduino device folder in /sys/bus/usb/ with some files there. sys/bus/usb-serial/ have no arduino files or folders.
Arduino uses standard usbserial protocol so there no need of drivers for linux and mac os, in windows you need only inf file.
Are there any ideas what's wrong? how can I fix it? I need /dev/ttyUSBO device to be created by android or USB host api to work with serial devices.
Thank you for any help.

I may have missed this somewhere else, but in the verdict section if a no is given for 3rd party apps and yes for OS, would rooting solve the problem?

 

[yurkomik]

Yes. I fixed the problem. First I had to create permissions xml file for usb host called android.hardware.usb.host.xml in etc/permissions. You can google for it's few lines of code. After software sees usb host api and device is detected by it.
Then i had to find driver modules for usb serial such as ftdi_sio.ko and insmod it. Then chmod my device to 777 mode. Copying module to /system/lib/modules and writing insmod to init.rc doesn't help as init.rc is restored every reboot in my device UG007 android mini PC. Had to put instmod and chmod commands to my program. By the way if anybody need any modules there allot of them compiled for rk3060 arm v7 processor in mk808 development brunch in armtvtech forum.
Good luck!

What is the problem? I had opposite situation so I am not sure. But perhaps OS support mean you have usb host anabled. If you need direct communication with usb device from your app you will need root. Otherwise use native USB api which is prefereble.I use python so direct communication is simpler as one line of code create object from device another read or write serial data. It's so easy

 

[yaqwsxyaqwsx]

To yurkomik: Thank you! You helped me a lot. After adding the XML file to the system, the USB Host API works. I've already tested it with the STM32F4 Discovery kit and it works great!

SGS2 OTG problem

Hi, I'm looking for advice for my SGS2 OTG issue, stock ICS 4.0.3.
It seems like OTG is working intermittently or so. Spotted this when trying out Helicon Remote app with a Nikon D90. Connects, disconnects, connects again, disconnects etc, then the app complains over connectivity. Similarly, flashdrives are first mounted, then unmounted unexpectedly, then reported as damaged (though fine on a PC). Same with 3 OTG cables.
I'm positive flashdrives once worked, but this might have been on GB 2.3.6 before update. Or it might be due to the replaced the USB&MIC board in the phone (would not charge), both boards rev.2.2.
USB Host Diagnostics says GT-I9100, IML74K/XWLPD, verdict Yes/Full.
Ordinary USB storage connection to a PC works ok.

Should I try another USB&MIC board or might this be a software thing?

 

[ldrolez]

hi !
I have an old Sony Xperia Pro mk16i, and usb otg works fine, I often use keyboards + mice.
But your software says that it's not compatible...
I'm ready to help you fix that problem
Cheers,
Ludo

Problem with iMobile IQ9

I recently bought the imobile iq9 mobile in Thailand and it's a fantastic phone but USB otg seems to be non functional. It's a MT6585 based device which could/should support USB otg. USB host diagnostics gives me the code 203085. I have tried stickmount, usb host controller and usb otg helper but no luck so far.

Android api claims support, classes are found, kernel claims support but no devices detected. I can get to the engineer menu and enable some USB functions but that doesn't seem to make any difference. Any ideas what I could try to change? Xposed framework does run on this device, not sure if that could help.

Perhaps useful, my kernel seems to be linux version 3.4.5 ([email protected]) which gives just 2 google results, for my imobile iq9 and the meizu kiss.
