Now, try to connect a keyboard or a mouse to your phone (via USB), instead: does it asks you for confirmation before you can use the keyboard to control the phone? AFAIK, Android doesn't do that. Such confirmation dialogs are standard for Bluetooth, but not for USB. 🙁 > Just don't run an automounter? My example was connecting a device which presents itself as keyboard+mouse+wificard: there's no automounter involved. === Stefan
