I:E: N900 has no way to auto-detect a Y-cable or a peripheral with normal cable and F-F-adapter (there's a more theoretical option to detect ID-to-GND short as you find it on A-plugs which don't fit into N900 B-receptacle. This needs pullup on ID though, which by default isn't enabled)
/j
I have got it detecting the y-cable using the edited method on my post on the previous page, works for me all the time, now modifying the hostmode script but blue_led or whatever his name is so it can detect the speed of the device connected by stopping the charging, doing its vboost magic and then starting the charging again
Good to know the theoretical approach is not accessible (well, bad really, but you understand what I mean). I guess then I will only be able to automatically host while using y-cable then, the other hosting will require a button... shame
