i ordered the female to female connectors way back when, and really never used OTG. I just got an E6 with the factory usb otg cable, im assuming this would work jsut as well with N900?

Edit: well, scratch that, i guess the factory usb otg cable (CA-157) isnt a standard micro usb. its lacking the standard taper dimension and doesnt fit the N900

It's a micro-B receptacle on N900, while CA-157 has a micro-A plug fitting the micro-AB receptacle of the device it ships with. All pretty much in line with standards for USB. You'll find this info if only you look a bit - e.g. there: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=364

N900 isn't meant to do USB hostmode so it got a micro-B receptacle, not a micro-AB

Joerg, this is not quite correct, it should be more like:
N900 wasn't meant to do USB hostmode so it got a micro-B receptacle, not a micro-AB ...

... thanks to Your, and of course all other participants, tremendous and honorable work!

Sorry for OT.

This is amazing! Maybe it will be more amazing if I could charge my battery in host mode.
I followed the instructions that @joerg_rw posted, but the script says "STANDBY". I tried to start and kill it several times with no result.
My N900 is connected to a self powered USB HUB. I tried to test if the hub gives any power to the N900. For this purpose I connected the hub to N900 while the N900 was switched off. The result was: screen flash, vibrating and led flashing. This should mean that the HUB gives power, right?

Definitely KP 47.

As for USB plug problems, just remember, that CA-157 may be easily re-shaped to work on N900 perfectly fine. Even useless (now) ID pin is recognized properly, then.

As last time, I'm not demanding anything, but could H-E-N team, consider some status-update info here?

Even if (which I doubt) there was no much activity in the project, it would be good to know about that. There are some joerg_rw patches (like new booston/off) things, that are still not included in -devel version, and up to date no one described what is holding "new version time" for so long.

Again, just to be sure that everyone understand it correctly - I'm not whining here "where will be next version available". It would be just great to know at least what is going on inside the project.

And i know that possibly there are IRC channels/mailing lists or whatever, but info on forum for us - regular Joey's the users/testers/feedbackers would be really appreciated.
