USB Host Diagnostics

By Chainfire

USB Host Diagnostics determines your device's USB host capabilities.

USB host is a really highly effective feature of current Android based smartphones and tablets, but on many firmwares (both stock and customized) the characteristic is somewhat damaged.

For instance, at launch the Galaxy Nexus advised all of the apps and the Market that it supported USB host, but USB host didn't truly work (this was fastened in the Android 4.0.2 replace). This broke a number of apps.

That is just one example of many. There are even circumstances the place OEMs advertise USB host assist, however the gadget does not support it at all. It appears as if USB host support isn't examined by Google or the OEMs after they push out new firmwares and gadgets at all.

As we cannot depend on Google or the OEMs to accurately provide info relating to USB host support, and the Android framework will often lie about it to each the Market in addition to Android apps, this software was created so you'll be able to test your device's USB host capabilities for yourself.
