If I understand correctly y-cables have the main branch with voltage and data and the auxiliary branch with voltage only. Without the third plug its fine, I meant while using the third plug i.e. charging and about to do hostmode.
I am trying to hack scripts together so the hostmode happens automagically I edited one of my posts in order to explain the solution I found, can anyone answer the other one, can I know if a cable is plugged into the N900 even though it is plugged into no host due to the shorting of maybe the 4th and 5th pin or something similar?? Thank you
