Motorola Xoom :: USB Support For WD Passport External Drives?
Dec 11, 2011
I have bought a usb-to-microusb adaptor wihout any luck at all. I mean the adapters seem the right ones, although they are not the otg type. It is just a standard female-usb-to-male-micro-usb adaptor.I`d like to be able to defenitely replace my laptop with my xoom for obvious reasons.Since i already own 3 usb hard drives (usb-powered, no power cordf). Each one a 500 GB unit.Since the xoom comes equipped with a micro-usb input, it seems that a sensible use for it would be any usb external drive, like the WD Passport series or even a std usb flash card?
my dad is considering buying a xoom 2, one of the important features for him is the ability to read and write to USB thumb drives. I've read conflicting reports on whether the Xoom 2 can support usb host with the ability to mount, read and write usb drives out of the box using an adaptor cable or not. I was hoping for a definitive answer.Rooting etc. is not really a solution for him.
I have the Xoom wifi in Canada and I am trying to access USB devices like a canon camera, usb drives (kingston and Lexar) and a mouse. I have an OTG cable and android 3.1. can anyone help me I would really like the usb drives working that is all I need. I tried a google search and they all say it must be rooted, is that true? I do not want a rooted device if at all possible. am I missing something in the settings or can I download something I am sure there is someone out there who has it working.
I am looking to do some traveling and would prefer to leave the laptop at home. I have a flash drive that needs to be used during that time but is locked and the information cannot be extracted or removed. It can only be accessed using the flash drive. Is there any way to make this work with XOOM?
I have a US WiFi only Xoom with a weird network issue. Whenever I leave it at home when I go to work, I come back to a gray wifi indicator. I'm still connected to my router and can access things internal to my network (like my Sonos system or router), but can't get to anything external (such as pinging an IP address or doing a DNS lookup).
The latest version of Astro File Manager seems to be able to delete files from the external SD card. I haven't had time to play with it fully-can anybody else confirm?
A question for Motorola Management, why is there no SD card Support? eg. a fully functional SD card as per every other sd card slot in devices.And don't go side-lining this as a duplication, this is a straight question requiring a straight answer.
Got the 3.2 update for my wifi xoom today and it supports the SD card slot! So, the obvious question is which one is recommended? Where can I find the specs for supported SD card speeds? I don't want to shell out the big bucks for the class 10 if the xoom only supports up to class 6 for example.
Without rooting my Xoom does any know when Motorola will officially support access of thumb drives and other data storage devices connected via the Motorola Camera Connection Kit for Motorola XOOM?
The Samsung Galaxy 10.1 is supposed to support AVI files. As the hardware seems identical to the XOOMs is this something (software) that will be coming to the XOOM/Honeycomb or is this proprietary to Samsung.
I've been trying to listen to an Internet radio in one tab and reading newspapers in another tab to no avail. This happen in the Chrome browser as well as in the Dolphin HD (latest version). Only one tab is on and the other goes off in the background. Desktops have no problem dealing with this kind of multitasking. Is there a way to make the Xoom support tab multitasking?
i have a xyboard and want to connect my wd passport hard drive to it, but it states it needs to reformat. Any one know if there is a driver for external hard drives to support the xyboard?
Problem is as I been reading I never found out if HTC Hero supports external email servers.I all says it supports POP3, IMAP and Exchange, but does it support IMAP/4 with SSL to whatever mail server?I heard something that HTC Hero only supports like Hotmail and Gmail and so on but I never found any information about setting for setting up like mail server and port and so on like "normal" mail clients.recommends a very good HTC that is more for office(that can handle MS Office ducuments and pdfs and so on) and works with HTC Sync (So it syncs with Lotus Notes) and as well have support for standard POP3/IMAP (with ssl) and Exchange mail servers not just exchange and web mail servers.
As far as I can see by defaul Xperia Z5 use microphone from connected wired headset to record audio for video stream. In this case i have some questions:
will it use mic from connected bluetooth headset?what kind of stereo microphones are supported?i should by only sony external microphone or can use any stereo mic with 3.5 jack?
when you connect the X2 to your computer, that it looks like it has two drives? This might to relate to my question/post about how in Quick Office I see only two folder options (dcim and LOST.dir) that happen to be on one drive, and then everything else seems to be stored on the other drive. I know the X2 has two processors, but that does not mean it has two "drives".
Why do I have 3 drives associated with my x2 when I connect to my computer by USB?One has moto driver setup file that don't seem to run, and the other two appear to be my USB card and the phone memory, but the contents are almost identical. Yet the phone shows most memory free, while the USB card is almost full (I transferred my files to a 16 GB card and added music). Docs 2 go desktop sync in particular has issues and doesn't know which drive to enable, but I cannot disconnect only one drive
I don't remember having an issue before the Gingerbread update but I can't get USB flash drives to work on the laptop dock. It will recognize when they are plugged in but they won't show up in File Manager.
how many kilobytes do we need to stay online with ввм ? There is one operator offer me blackberry plans for 1 month for $20 ( 100 MB ) even I am roaming I can still use the data service. Is it good or no ?
I recently got my Satio. I was just wondering, my Satio does not come with the Entertainment Passport. Is the entertainment passport still applicable? If so how do I get it? Also my Satio keeps trying to auto register but each time it fails. Any idea how do I complete this registration manually?
Have a strange issue when mounting external USB devices on my Samsung S5. I have:
A. 64 GB PNY thumb drive (Fat32) B. 500 GB USB HDD (exFat) C. 64 GB Sony SDXC card (exFat)
and mounting them via cheap non powered 4 port USB hub.
If I mount any of devices separately, no issues. If I mount A and B or A and C together, no issues. Now, if I mount B and C (no matter in which order) as soon as I connect second device I get message that USB device is unmounted successfully and another message straight away that USB device is damaged.
Basically I can't mount two drives if both of them are exFat. If one is Fat32 and another exFat then works fine. Is this a limitation of Android/Samsung?
What I'm trying to achieve is to backup photos from SD card to HDD when I go on holidays in two weeks. Currently I can do this by copying C to A, unmounting C, mounting B and copying from A to B, which is time consuming, I much rather copy C to B directly.
So I had music on my xoom but accidently deleted it. I tried going in my computer files to copy and paste songs from my itunes into my folder on xoom called music but says wrong format. I don't know what to do.
I bought the device few days ago and on very same day updated to Android ver. 3.2. I use internet over my home Wifi and have a Netgear - WGR614 router. The browsing speed is very very slow and most sites dont open.The signal strength shown in xoom is - (-105 dBm 3 asu).Is this a issue with Android 3.2 update or my home wifi is weak? Would i be able to reset the tab to the original version?
I am using Nokia E7. I found this deature where in you can map a remore WEBDAV address drive to your Nokia File manager. I have accounts with skydrive, box, drivehq ets. I tried to map the WebDav address and provided the login details. The icon does show me the n/w drive. But when I connect, nothing happens. Can you help me? Is there a step by step document/guide which shows us how this can be done? The user manual provided with E7 does not have all these details!!
