You can't find a really good answer because there is no really good answer. It's seems to be a hardware limitation (not enough voltage to the usb port or something), but not everyone is so sure. I think it's unlikely we will see it in the future. Google/LG certainly won't release a new revision with USB OTG support, because that would make a lot of current owners very, very angry.
I suggest you keep your eye on the [DEV] USB OTG thread in the development section.
By the way, this belongs in the Q&A section.

Yeah i said that i am new in all forums so i didn't know that so sorry.
but why the voltage it worked in previous phones why would they build something that won't work?

They didn't on purpose. They actually advertised it WITH USB otg, and then quickly changed it after they found out their mistake. But now it's too late, because releasing a new revision with usb otg would make a lot of people very angry. Everyone will demand a refund.
Q&A means question & answer so that explains itself, but I'm not one to judge.

I use USB OTG on my Galaxy Nexus so I can extend my media library when on the move. Not having the option really bugs me. Why would they disable it? Is it purely to force the use of online storage services?

No, I'm pretty sure it's a mistake, because they did advertise it at first. We will never be certain though.

It was not a mistake. A commit was made, with a comment saying that mako (Nexus 4) cannot supply 5v. 5 volts is required for USB devices to operate.

Yeah, but at first they did advertise it could. So I think it was a production mistake, and the moment you sell thousands of N4s with the same mistake, you can't go back. It would just make people angry.

I assume people have tried using it supplying the voltage themselves, e.g. by a USB Y cable.
That's how I've done it in the past on other devices which wouldn't supply 5V.

USB HDD for WM6?

does anybody know where can i download USB HDD for WM6?
Same place as you can download a copy of Kristin Kreuk?
I assume you want a driver. Its dependant on your device: does it say it supports USB Host or USB2Go? If it doesn't then no driver will enable you to connect a USB HD, because the hardware isn't there.
Noob who doesn't research. Doesn't even write down device. Hermes one can only assume.
Just asks question and hopes for everyone to drop everything rush to his aid.

As the Hermes does not have USB-to-Go, this is a non-starter for you. The closest you will probably be able to get is this:

I dunno, man. It's really tough to criticize this guy, imo. The OP didn't take the time to even ask a coherent question. Why should anyone else take the time to give a coherent answer?

Is it possible to replace the USB port on the bottom of a Titan/Mogul?

My plug broke, the little plastic piece that separates the pins finally gave out and not knowing I plugged in my USB cable and bent the pins. Now my phone doesnt work. It boots up but beyond getting to the Today screen is un-usable.
Can I open it up and just replace the port? (any tips on where to buy the part, I have the tools already Im sure and am willing to solder really really really small connectors. )
Or am I stuck buying a new phone?
Thanks in advance.
yes you are in luck, i am currently developing a program that will do exactly that and much more, just give me a few decades

Hey bud..
Sorry to hear that issue , as a Sprint Store & Repair Tech Mgr I would leave it to a tech to get workin on it.. If you want to you can sauder it and try to fix the pins but you run he risk of uniting circuitry when you put back together..which will completely kill your phone.. Suggestion: Repair Center or Insurance.. last option uprgade or purchase a new phone..
this is definitly and absolutly the wrong thread man. you are asking a hardware question of a specific phone on a software developers side ?!
so please accept the rules, because some people here have enought of junior posts like this. Read thread one ! although i wouln'd event post it there.

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it!
Can you ball park the cost of such a repair? I dont mind paying, but if its close to the same cost of picking up a used phone on ebay (~200-250) I'd rather just get a new phone.
Thanks!

That is the part you are looking for right? The little USB female portion of the phone?
It's kinda expensive and risky, good luck with your repair, I hope this helps!

That is the part indeed, and you've just answered my lingering question! lol it would be cheaper for me to get a used one off ebay. If that part costs 50 bucks and a service tech would take at least 1 hour to fix it I'd be looking at a little less than just buying another. I appreciate all the help with this.

I'm just trying to say don't flame the guy.... it's not like he asked which is your favorite case in this forum =)
If/when I have a question about development I always ask here...... it seems like Q&A is more like reading the manual, not really mod or fw or rom questions. Please feel free to correct this if I am mistaken, but look at the threads in the q&a.....
Sometimes peeps are quick to throw stones.
By the way, I too hope this gets developed. But maybe a better question would be: "what can I (the collective us) do or how can I contribute in order to develop this?". Not just leave it to others. There are many ways to contribute:
READ, Learn to code, Contribute to your favorite developers monetarily, etc etc.
I think it is innovative. A phone app that can function like reason, fruityloops, protools... Mixing, autotune, live record. 5 years ago that would of been impossible. In 5 more it would of already of been done. The technology we hold in our hands is pretty amazing. IS it a phone? a camera? a router? supercomputer(they done this to a phone at MIT)
Yeah i may of wanted to have that on my phone but realistically , of course not.
To be honest it was a little slow today here(Zzzz) blah blah blah same questions 10000s of times over and over. I was just trying to get the creative juices flowing!! So we fix the lag and we have hsupa and froyo is here whats next. In the end Apps are what this is all about all the boring redundant lag fixes oc is just the hard work we go through to get to taste the icing! So thank you guys for doing all the hard work cause the icing is just going to be that much better...
Thanks

Seriously, man.. Relax. We all appreciate forum moderation but there no need to be harsh.
Speak to people in a manner that you'd ask to be spoken to.
There is enough talk around here about fixing the minor issues with the phone. I'd like to read talk about apps, ports, and dare I say it peripheral support. There is a discussion over at the vibrant forum about adding the camera for video calls and another about adding the camera externally via the usb port. I find that more interesting than fixing the gps that actually doesn't work bad while I'm driving.
It would be nice to see powerful music apps on android. The iphone has a pretty powerful amp modeler available for guitar, just an adapter and a pair of headphones and you have a practice amp in your pocket that actually sound really good.
If the question is why, the answer is because you can. These phones are crazy. 5 years ago I had friends with computers that weren't this fast. Hell my computer was only 1.7 ghz and. In 2 years I'd like to be able to replace my pc completely.

NICE! I'm going to snag that demo! Good find!
this would be an AWESOME app
I'm going to jack my own thread. If you would like to post up anything relating to cool apps or concepts feel free.
How possible would it be to have windows running on Android and not the other way around. I know the hd2 can run these two fine operating systems in a dual boot. (picture included) Is it because the drivers have not been developed for WINDOWS??? It would seem easy obviously not. I would love to have windows 7 on this phone because after seeing this!!!! (picture included of the iphone) then i got to thinking that gaming on this would be awesome. The phone can be used as a screen cause it gay as hell to have to literally touch the screen to hit a virtual joystick or button. I know windows mobile 7 is going to have xbox 360 app of some sort, i dont know the extent of it. I know eventually they incorporate real 360 titles to be play on windows mobile phones. However I dont see why we couldn't in the future play mobile games with this very same concept done on the iphone a windows dual boot for the android OS. Seriously though if Microsoft plays this right they could dominant the phone market again and Personally i'm not a fan boy but i loved to play come mobile Call of duty on my dual boot android!!!!
Back to the original topic, aren't there alredy sequencers out for the android market?
That awesome looking groovebox one looks promising, But googling "android sequencers" brought up ULoop and ReLoop, which seem to be capable of making beats on the fly.
Unless I'm missing something here.
i wish beatmaker by intua could be ported to android

Are you a moderator? Hmmm...you are not. Report people and let the mods do the moderating. It seems like an interesting idea and it is a development question.
Im glad someone made this thread! I downloaded the Groovebox program (paid version, only $4.44 US) and its pretty cool but has a long way to go. Settings you declare in the mixer wont save when you save your song so you have to reset them next time you load it which is really annoying. Also, the drum kits all sound 90% the same, some have conga drums and such but overall they are all the same sound with minor effects added to them but with the paid version they say you get future updates so hopefully they will release some revamped kits and fix the save issues. Also, some new bass effects would be fun too.
Overall, its fun to mess around with but probably not worth buying till they come out with some more features for it. VERY basic right now.

External WiFi Adpater?

I am going to try and develop a solution to make this work. dmesg output on android does detect the USB device so it may be possible.
Stay tuned.

Stratosphere II (SCH-I415) Teardown/Analysis

Just wanted to say thanks for the tear down and corresponding link! As you know, there is VERY little development going on for our device and I'd love to hear anything else you may have to contribute on the subject, including if and how you may have managed to unbrick. Good luck!

Well, I'm not unbricked yet. I did find this thread the other day:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856327
Since we know the CPU on the Strat II is the MSM8960, this becomes VERY useful. I ordered a replacement main board the other day, so once it arrives I am going to run dmesg on it to find out if the USB controller supports the Jig. If so, it probably means we have the ICS bootloader (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402286). We'll find out when it gets here!
Unroot?
Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to unroot. I rooted with system.img.ext4, but now lost ability for wifi and bluetooth. In addition, I tried uninstalling something (system ui or something like that) and now lost the status (notification) bar at the top.
Is there a way to get it back to original image/rom? Please let me know. Thanks.
