what tablet u own?

depends on how many memory (RAM) installed. You try first, if good I also want to buy one cap itik

buy the one RM15-20 only in lelong. It should support keyboard and mouse with Pro. USB mass storage not supported unless you got Sony docking or custom kernel that support it or supporting apps.

I m using the cheap cable myself

same one. can be used with Neo, Pro & Arc.

I did google for the info and also demo in youtube, the cable should electrically compatible. The only limitation is the support for certain USB devices.

Well, as part of my job, I may need access remote server out of the office and I need ad-hoc file access. Then I can upload or download files directly from/to USB drive.

I watch movie too (rarely) and stream directly from thumbdrive for example. No need to copy to SD card.

Waiting for LRT or to get home using LRT is quite boring ... Neo serves me well

movie drains battery lesser than 3G. I haven't tested to get the real numbers yet. That depends too of the codec, rendering mode and movie resolution.

Upper part/near front camera hot a bit.

your phone's Gingerbread is what version? It should be supported better in 2.3.4 or better.

unless you unlock bootloader

if you root and update FOTA, you wont lost the root. It depends on how you update it.

interested but have 1 for Neo?

I am using the simple cable like the above.

Hmmm ... I am not sure about you guys but mine's working very well, although USB mass storage needs 3rd party apps to mount it.

I think without official SE docking, you'll need root to make other cable to work.

I've tried a simple experiment (my phone is rooted) but I can disable root within application setting such as ES File Explorer. I can't access USB drive if ES File Explorer not enabled with root (empty directories). Once enabled, USB files appears.

If you need the app to mount USB storage, you can PM me with your e-mail. I think this app need root and busybox.

For FAT/FAT 32 it will work easily. For NTFS, you gonna need custom kernel.

Oi! Neo user here!

regarding usb otg, if u test with mouse with usb cable it might not work because the mouse suck power too much and ur phone unable to power it. that's why SE docking comes with extra power input.

i connect mine with wireless usb mouse/keyboard. Works with my Microsoft Wireless Desktop 5000, Rapoo wireless touch keyboard and mouse. only the receiver connect to the usb otg. it detects exactly the model.



pendrive works with limitation, external hdd wont work.

Bluetooth module not working, detected as unknown device.

Bluetooth mouse/kboard not working because pairing needed password key.

what esle u want me to test?

I think mouse and keyboard will work without rooting ... wireless or none-wireless one.

I can confirm it'll work with FAT/FAT32 out-of-the-box. In case the OS can't mount it, it can be enabled using a 3rd party app. I am afraid it needs root and busybox. Without it FC.

If you connect it indirectly or using a USB hub, it won't work.

It will act as another (removable) storage. Impossible to add as main storage for the phone.

Screenshots made for your kind reference:



I am using custom kernel supporting usb-OTG; FAT/FAT32/NTFS/EXT3/EXT4/swap
Rooted & unlocked BL, .62 fimware, NightElf kernel

Thumbdrive in the picture is Kingston DT109 16GB (don buy this as it's casing break easily) formatted FAT32. If formatted in NTFS, it can read ONLY. This thumbdrive works although detected as Unknown USB device by the app. Liveware detects it correctly.

USB cable OTG I bought from Lelong for RM15 only.

PC companion will check if your bootloader has changed, it won't update. You'll get error phone has been modified. If you root and has unlocked bootloader, you still can update using PC companion.

YES

USB debugging enabled or not?

Yup, that's correct.

I have to unlock, root and bear the risks to achieve this. Luckily not wasted money to buy accessories like cable otg etc

Yesterday I just bought a cheap wireless joystick from Lowyat. I wanna try it with Neo tonight. I bought it to play PS2 games and Flight Simulator in my PC hehehe ...

Perhaps I'll post a video.

yes

Are you sure to erase SD card? Yes/No

it supports, but limited to fat/32 file system. if ur phone can detect it but cant see the files, u need to make it properly mount the drive.

nice discovery there bro.

Yes! Class 10 is faster. You can feel it when transferring files from PC to phone, or browsing album with many images, or loading heavy apps.

I never tried class 6 before .. only class 4 and 10. Won't go back
