unsupported devices
Many Android devices have a USB host or On-The-Go (OTG) port and are ideal to work with dive computers. DiveMate USB includes everything to transfer the dives from your dive computer on unrooted Android devices. However the are some pit falls: some manufacturers don't include all required software to make the USB port work. Some unneccessarily limit type of USB devices which can be connected. Other devices don't provide power but may work with a Y-cable or USB hub.
Here is a list of devices which do not work with dive computers at least in the standard configuration. There might be solutions to make them work such as Android updates or custom ROMs.
