title: Does the sprint galaxy nexus support usb host mode?
body: <p>I was wondering if the sprint galaxy nexus supports the usb host mode?  As stated <a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/usb/host.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> it is supposed to be available on android versions above 3.1.  The galaxy nexus uses ice cream sandwich(version 4+) so it should have it.  <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oqq4L44jOM8" rel="nofollow">This video</a> shows someone using the galaxy nexus with a usb mouse attached, so the stock galaxy nexus version should have this capability.  I was just wondering if Sprint changed the kernel in someway that disabled the usb host mode functionality.  <a href="http://www.phonearena.com/phones/compare/Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-Sprint,Samsung-GALAXY-Nexus-Sprint/phones/7099,7035" rel="nofollow">This site</a> states that the galaxy s from sprint has "Mass storage device, USB Host, USB charging" as a feature but for the galaxy nexus from sprint the only feature listed is "USB charging."<br>
  I only realized this might be a missing feature because when I tried to set up a small test app using the Usb host mode api no device that I connected was ever recognized.  I tried pluggging the device in after device startup and before device startup.  I was reading the logcat wirelessly as is defined <a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/usb/index.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> so I could moniter what would happen when I was plugging a usb device in and removing it.  Logcat displayed nothing.  Any explanation or links to other sites saying that the Sprint galaxy nexus does or does not support usb host mode would be much appreciated(only Sprint, I beleive Verizon does support it, but I have a Sprint test device). Thanks.</p>
