[android-developers] Re: Disabling the USB port?

2010-09-14 Thread FrankG
Yes .. but the question if, whether it is allowed for hiim, that the
mobile can still be seen in
the devise manager ? If not then he need a special usb gadget with
null mode, means, which does
not enumerate ..

And disable mass storage allone maybe will not help him, if his devise
supports other usb modi as well.

But seems this kind of questions are more  related to android
platform ?

Good luck ! Frank

Even if the device is physically connected to a host computer via USB
cable, no logical connection should be established.
What are the sources/programmatic way of doing this?

   You would need to modify the firmware.

Yes, you're correct. I was hunting for USB and that one didn't catch
my eye. My apologies.

Hence, if you are rolling your own firmware, or work for a device
manufacturer and can sign your apps with the system signing key, you
can stop ADB. And you can stop USB mass storage. You cannot stop
anything else that the manufacturer might have added, though (e.g.,
external keyboard support), short of modifying the firmware itself.

I sure hope not.

I have no idea. I work at the SDK level, and I know there's nothing
much in the SDK related to USB.

If I understand you correctly, if I turn off USB debugging, Even if I

Is this correct? If so, how is USB debugging turned off?

Yes.

The user turns it off via the appropriate settings screen. I don't see
where it is exposed via Settings.System, or even Settings.Secure.
