Android Device Compatibility List

nherdananto edited this page Mar 28, 2013 · 28 revisions

In general any 'high end' device with Android 3.1 or later should work fine with this application. There is no need to 'root' the phone. Lower end devices may or may not support USB host mode (but even low end recent devices usually have such support).

If anyone already has a device with >=3.1 and <4.2, don't worry. The app will continue to work, but it is possible to get much better USB throughput with 4.2 or later.

Known working devices

(Understand that Cell Phones use firmware from provider, customized by provider so the below list does not guarantee your device will work- the list below is provided by people who have successfully used it, we do not know what cell provider they used or which specific firmware or version they are operating on)

  • Google Nexus 7". The 'gold standard'. There are nicer tablets and cheaper tablets, but the price is good and the software support from Google is top notch.

  • Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Devices that work, with tweaking

(please include notes about special steps needed)

  • PIPOv2 - Needs a kernel update installed?

Known problem devices

  • Nexus 4 - USB is apparently missing 5V, so they turned the feature off in software. A xda-forums build might work, but you'd need a powered hub. See bug.
