USB OTG on older lumias? - Windows 10 Mobile

Hello, now we have lumia 950 and 950XL which run the same OS build and have somewhat similiar hardware as older lumias. We also have interop and full unlock, so is it possible to import drivers from them?

not possible because hardware, not OS...

Also, USB-C Dual Role is not the same as USB-OTG.

But why android devices with similar hardware , usb type, same processor and stuff have OTG working? Do they have special hardware for this?

Which?

My friend's HTC Desire 816 is pretty similar to my lumia 640 XL, and OTG works on his device. BTW, HTC One M8 has OTG support, and it seems that windows version doesn't.

Yeah, look like Microsoft doesn't support OTG in WP. It has dismantled a myth then.

I'm sceptical... My Lumia 925 has a Snapdragon S4 which is described as USB OTG compatible....

it may not be hardware issue ,it requires drivers that will come with firmware, MS had no intention to support older devices with new features like ,call recording,USB-OTG,etc,no firmware updates for older devices ,may be feedback may help on this

[Q]Windows 8 on Samsung GT3 10.1 (P5220)?

Hi all,
It's too early to ask but is there any possibility that the new Samsung GT3 10.1 (P5220) can support Windows 8?:fingers-crossed:
From what i've learnt, it has the Intel Atom Z2560 and Windows 8 supports that chipset, right?
I am looking for an alternative to Sony Tablet S which has either been discontinued or trashed as I am unable to find a vendor anywhere in India selling them.
I am crazy about the IR Blaster feature (both available for the above two devices).:victory:
And if Windows 8 can be installed, that would be VERY great too.:fingers-crossed:
Please share your thoughts.:good:

it is not completely a matter of windows 8 having support for the chip it is a matter of the boot loader and being able to load it theoretically if the tablet was identical to a windows tablet if the boot loader and rom image could be transplanted successfully it might work but i would not hold my breath on that working soon the most likely way you could possibly do it is remote desktop or virtual machine but then again that is not really running it on the hardware.

Hi,
Thanks for the heads up...I guess I will have to be content with Remote Desktop for now
Peace!!

Is the k3v2 64bit ?

I just came across this.
http://www.techradar.com/news/phone...-d-quad-is-as-powerful-as-a-64-bit-pc-1066474
It boasts of Ascend D quad being 64bit. But i checked the specs of both Ascend D as well as the newer D2 and both are k3v2 quad core 1.5ghz. So either p6 is 64bit too or Ascend D isnt 64bit.
Edit: Here too: http://www.hisilicon.com/news/news/k3v2_20120226.html
So I wonder how this unique feature that only few newer mobiles recently got can help huawei mobiles do stuff that others cannot. :?
http://www.cnx-software.com/2012/02/27/hisilicon-unveils-quad-core-cortex-a9-k3v2-processor-hi3620/
The mobile hardware and software ecosystem is already moving in the direction of 64-bit; and, the evolution to 64-bit brings desktop class capabilities and user experiences to mobile, as well as enabling mobile processors and software to run new classes of computing devices.

Huawei should make use of the 64bit capabilities in Emotion 2.0 and show it off a bit.

You need obviously 64 bit CPU

gyroscope not working

I'm using auxus prime p8000 I'm checked for specifications on gadget360.com.
http://m.gadgets.ndtv.com/iberry-auxus-prime-p8000-2872
they said my phone has gyroscope I'm using Nexus ROM made For elephone p8000
My gyroscope not working how to fix it
It doesn't really have a gyroscope. Specs on several sites are wrong. Some also said it had USB OTG support, but it doesn't have it, either

I think someone connected a keyboard successfully with a powered hub.

OTG possibility for the K10 (Qualcomm/MTK)

Wonder if it is possible, through a custom kernel or something of that sort, to add in OTG support for the K420xx/430xx series. It shouldn't be that hard to pull off considering that a number of devices using the 6735 or its equivalent Qualcomm SOC do support OTG, but what do you think?
LG K10 by default does not support OTG connection. (only hardware issue) But you can unlock it by modifying system OTG files, but you will need an external battery (5V) to give requiered energy.
Mine is working likea charm, but this is the problem: you need to have an external battery to give extra power that LG K10 hardware can't.

And that's even with low-powered devices like thumb drives, eh? It's a shame as this comes with Android Marshmallow and an octa-core processor as opposed to a quad-core Qualcomm and lack of updates on the similarly-priced Zenfone Go 5.5.

i think now is possible to install android on alcatel idol 4s windows edition.

since unlock bootloader is now possible using Internals 2.2 thanks to 'Heathcliff74' and the alcatel idol 4s android is some what similar with Windows version except Snapdragon chip and more ram and bigger mass storage ,i think it would be easy for developers to port android to alcatel 4s windows edition.
It only affects lumias.

get someone paid first maybe?
android ROM is useless without proper support for drivers and optimizations... in theory you can run android on any WP/WM device but no support. porting is only small part of job... nobody want to loose time and money for "free" support... in reality, if you want android, buy android...

they will do it for free
so technically this is possible as the 6071W has a direct Android counterpart: the TCL 950. They both share identical hardware.
The biggest issue is that the Windows version and the android version are signed with different certificates. As a result, someone needs to bypass signature checks on the 6071W to allow loading of the other firmware.
What might be interesting is if someone gets a TCL 950, roots it, and then installs the OS portions of the 6071W image, they might be able to have a dual-boot device.
