Anyone with a Bolero that have succesfully used an android phone with the MDI plug?

Mine keeps saying 'no playable files' and another kitkat phone says 'error usb device'.

A very old android 2.2 phone works fine however, so it probably comes down to the MTP protocol versus the old USB storage protocol.

Charging works, but apparently only with 500 mA since it is very slow..

It is a micro USB to MDI cable..

I essentially have a media in plug that serves as a very slow charger, and no USB plug..

MDI in the O3 is for Apple products only so I'm not surprised it doesn't work....

Why would you think that?

MDI is made for multiple products, including mp3 players and usb flash disks. The Media transfer protocol that android (now) uses should certainly be supported in newer audio systems, including the Bolero..

Because it's no longer called MDI, it's the 'Mitsumi - for Apple Products'.

I think you are right with Android transfer protocol changes.

I had the same problem with my S3 running the standard Samsung software. (you can only choose between MTP or PTP).

Since then I now use Cyanagen mod which also gives the option for USB sharing which works fine.

 

I would say the USB socket is actually lower than 500mA beause when my phone is completely flat I cannot charge & boot the phone at the same time.

I think at best it would just about hold the charge thats already there.
