Thanks Johnx!

I did just what you said and sure enough there was USBCONTROL and lo and behold, the 5.3Mb app loaded and installed just fine. I could swear USBCONTROL app was not in the catalog before I went to download it the other day.

Anyway, I rebooted, set USBcontrol to Host mode and excitedly plugged in the USB cable, then the FEM A<->Fem A adapter and plugged in the USB2 2Gb SanDisk thumbdrive.

The 810 gave a message:

" USB Device Not Supported" then a popup "Unable to connect. Device not supported"

The USB Control dialog reported:

USB CONTROLLER MODE: a_wait_vrise


Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0781:a7c1 SanDisk Corp
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000


I tried OTG mode and no error message but File Manager doesn't see it. USBCONTROl reports in it's dialog:

USB CONTROLLER MODE: b_idle

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0781:a7c1 SanDisk Corp
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000



Just for the heck of it Periperal Mode listed:

USB CONTROLLER MODE: b_idle

Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0781:a7c1 SanDisk Corp
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000


So, it doesn't see the thumbdrive I have so far... any suggestions?
