Guest MikhailM Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 Hi, bazzlad, NIce instructions, but I got into serious trouble! I followed all the instructions on setting up the USB Host and USB Slave, both of which showed "Need SU" in small letters after being added in Gscript. After clicking on USB Host, as instructed, the Advent Vega brought up a new box, asking to allow the USB Host. After clicking "Allow" the Vega told me it was going to re-boot into recovery mode, which it did, bringing up the Android figure popping out of the box. Since I did not know what to do with it in this Recovery Mode, I powered the Vega down and then tried to power it up again. It will now only go upto "bootting ...." and will not proceed further! What do I do? Clearly I could put it into recovery mode and then re-install the rom and Paul's ROM etc.., but I would rather not do that, if it can be avoided. MikhailM
Guest v1rusw0rm Posted March 26, 2011 Report Posted March 26, 2011 (edited) I tested this keyboard: http://www.merimobiles.com/ProductDetails....ctCode=MERI0537 The case doesn't fit and keyboard doesn't work.. It works perfect with my desktop and notebook, but when I put it into tablet it doesn't work at all. Sometimes first keypress works, but tablet thinks that key still down and printing the letter until usb cable removed. I tested with stock firmware, with R8 and R8 + Corvus Kernel. Upd: keyboard works if connected through USB-hub. Edited March 26, 2011 by v1rusw0rm
Guest ViPaSoft Posted March 29, 2011 Report Posted March 29, 2011 I tested this keyboard: http://www.merimobiles.com/ProductDetails....ctCode=MERI0537 The case doesn't fit and keyboard doesn't work..

Sometimes first keypress works, but tablet thinks that key still down and printing the letter until usb cable removed. I tested with stock firmware, with R8 and R8 + Corvus Kernel. Upd: keyboard works if connected through USB-hub. I've just bought one too, it also works through my Laptop, but not through the VEGA. Anyone know why. I have my Vega in host mode and it reads USB sticks etc. Is it that the Vega doesn't output enough power to power the keyboard or is there a driver that may be needed. I see you say it works using a hub, but that's surly not the only answer. The idea if for portability and having to lug a powered hub around it not portable. Anyone with any ideas...
Guest thedicemaster Posted March 29, 2011 Report Posted March 29, 2011 the hub doesn't have to be powered. it's a known problem, that specific keyboard sends out some kind of signal that confuses the vega and a usb hub somehow filters it out.

Thanks, I'll have to get a cheap HUB and try it. The one I have doesn't seem to work, even with USB Sticks, (which do work when plugged directly in). Also, daft question, but the VEGA does have to be in HOST mode for the keyboard right!? Doesn't work in SLAVE mode!
Guest v1rusw0rm Posted March 29, 2011 Report Posted March 29, 2011 I used not-powered hub. And yes, Vega must be in HOST mode if you want to use it like computer/notebook and put something IN Vega.
Guest Thomas Medhurst Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 Hi Guys, Does anyone know if USB Serial will work with this? I have a number of electronics projects that use JTAG or similar USB serial endpoints and it would be incredible to be able to control these via a tablet! I am happy to send commands via bash (screen/minicom etc..) as I doubt there will be native Java bindings for this, but would buy one of these in a flash if it could support this!!
Guest CrArC Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 I've lost my USB serial port to test unfortunately. But I've noticed a few said their Apple keyboards weren't working here. Oddly, my Apple wired keyboard does work, just fine. Can even change the volume with it. It's not the newest brushed aluminium models though, it's an A1048.
Guest phil8715 Posted April 7, 2011 Report Posted April 7, 2011 Maybe putting your Vega into suspend before taking out the memory stick would reduce the risk ? Adding to the list of compatable devices Technika USB tiny mouse (cheap tesco brand) Philips Freevents wireless keyboard Bush USB 4 port hub PHX03H RunDisk 2.0 4gb pen drive Some of the media keys work too - Vol + -, back and forward arrow button and search button Esc = back button Windows key = Menu F1 also = Menu F4 = suspend + wake up Will add more KB shortcuts as I find them Do all portable HDD's Desktop HDDs and pendrives need to be fat32 formatted for them to be recognised ? Would a Philips Go Gear pmp work and sideloading from BBC iPlayer to the Philip GoGear pmp device?
Guest broadhead Posted April 29, 2011 Report Posted April 29, 2011 Hi, mi Kingston Data Traveler 16 gb works fine but I'm having many file issues, as files with 0 kb and others
Guest Algie Posted May 5, 2011 Report Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) I received this USB HDD today. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT I copied some files from my pc to check it works. Works great. There is a usb power cable supplied but it works fine without it. Problem is I can read/copy from the hd but I can't write from the Vega. I've tried various file managers and one of them states 'Insufficient Permissions'. I've also just checked after reading through this post that Android doesn't work with NTFS formatted drives. When I check properties it states that the drive is formatted in NTFS. Should it be working at all? How do I alter the permissions or do I have to format the drive in fat32? Update: Reformatted to FAT32 works perfect now. Edited May 5, 2011 by Algie
Guest Nik Louch Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 Nik, does the mouse / trackball work too? I know works perfectly tends to suggest as such but thought I would check. Cheers. Sorry for the delay, yes it all works, even some of the "custom" buttons.
