From: Merciadri Luca on 1 Jun 2010 06:10 Hi, To my utter astonishment, I have not found, on the Internet, an explanation on how to connect an Android-based device to a Debian workstation (through USB2, evidently). Do you have any pointer on how to do this? By `connecting,' I do not necessarily mean `synchronizing' but at least being able to check the µSD's card content. I am using an HTC Desire. Thanks. -- Merciadri Luca See http://www.student.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/~merciadri/ I use PGP. If there is an incompatibility problem with your mail client, please contact me.

Look at the manual for your device, chapter "Connecting your phone to your computer". It seems you have to connect the device to an USB port and select "hard drive" mode, or something similar. Then you should be able to use the unit as a media device. Briefly, connect the phone and type "dmesg" :-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
