iPad was there a fix for the camera connection?

Yea, they got a sick sense of humor, how long do u have a card reader attached, for five minutes or so? Out of totally 10 hrs battery cap, comeon, we know thats just to piss off people and has nothing to do with power saving...

Hi,
I was jailbroken using jailbreakme and when I connected to mine camera via connection kit, iPad2 prompted "USB unsupported" message.

I did updated with latest "Cydia Essential", possible I able to check whether it successful updated?

It was working fine before I jailbroken, is there any other way to fix it?


UPDATED: Its working, i have to wait longer time then usual.

Apple reduced the power draw of the cck from 100ma to 20ma on iOS 4.2 rendering many devices useless. Comex replied to one of his followers that someone named br0x is working on increasing the power output back to 100ma.

Anything heard about br0x and progress with getting the camera USB upto 100ma?

What "violence" has Apple done? Seriously though I would like it to be fixed/the fix released also. I have one usb device that works with it. My other ones do not.
 
We should realy stop referring to solutions which involves jb items, its so 2009...

The CCK does not work with jailbroken iPads. It would be great if comex could fix the limitation that Apple put on it if/when he fixes the other bug that makes it not work though. :D

Forgive me, the new guy here, but can you kindly clarify please? You said "The CCK does not work with jailbroken iPads." Mine works fine. I use iFile and a JB iPad 1 and I have no issues.

Forgive me if I am missing something.

nope it's still 2011 since apple won't implement a lot of basic tweaks to their core iOS. case in point...why can't they offer a decent keyboard with a row of numbers? the fact that you need to jb the ipad to get that is shameful.

The iPad no longer directly reads USB Memeory Sticks, for the most part, nor can one now connect things like USB microphones to it that one could before. It now takes a powered hub, to do this. There are a few very small USB Memory Stick that still work, but in general things like name brand 4GB and larger USB memory sticks no longer work, because Apple lowered the current that the iPad (and all IOS devices) will supply by way of the USB port...

I have several flash drives that do not connect. One drive, a PNY drive gives me the familiar warning about power. I dismiss the dialog and iFile still reads and writes the drive. Some say flash drives above 8 GB do not work, I disagree because my only large capacity drive works. It is a 16 GB PNY affair.

Others say if the flash drive has an LED it draws too much power and due to the change you mentioned, it will not work. Not true in my experience; every drive I own has an LED.

I am told that some Micro SD cards will not work yet all of my cards work well. They are cheap cards from Best Buy on sale, all 2 GB cards.

I think there are a few drives that do not work due to power issues. Certainly, external devices will not work unless powered. I settled on Micro SD cards because they are cheap and they work for me. I fear breaking the flash drive off if I catch it on something, and that would be terrible. No advice as to how to select a Flash drive or SD Card for the iPad except this: use SD Cards because they seem to generally work if jailbroken and you use iFile and it can be hit and miss with flash drives. It seems to be a power issue, this I will agree with.
 
Is there a fix yet for the "too much power" USB problem?

Is there a fix yet for the "too much power" message that you get when plugging in a usb drive or sd card?

Any solutions?

Sorry - you can't. The only kernel patch is pre-iOS5 only.

Believe me - Apple Are The God We All Must Hail. Whatever they do is Done the Right Way. You absolutely don't need anything they haven't implemented.

This is absolutely possible, that's what I jailbreak for. You use ifile and copy the avi (or whatever other format) into the documents folder of whatever media player app you use (e.g vlc)..then when you're done watching you can delete it from the iPad and copy another over from the USB stick or sd..simples
