Using standard USB Keayboard possible? - General Accessories

As the title already says: Is it possible to use a standard usb keyboard with my device and maybe with somekind of adapter like the following?
adapter
Will WindowsMobile recognise the keyboard?

you need a device with usb-host or OTG (on the go)..

i take this as a NO?!
or are there keyboards or adapters with OTG feature (not bluetooth)?
(thanks for your fast reply!)

sadly true! but i thought that a software solution might be possible... that windows mobile is taught to recocnise a keyboard, just as it 'knows' when the headset is pluged in... i'm no programmer btw... so i have no idea what information is recieved or send via the usb cable...

I would look for a bluetooth options as I seriously doubt you will get anywhere with usb

i'm afraid you are correct. but i've heard that these freedom universal bluetooth htc keyboards for example are very slow and quite expensive... so i thought, i ask...
thanks for your replies!

think all bluetooth keyboards would work it's a general std.
of cause that don't necessary mean that the htc device don't
slow things down but nor would it if you used an usb keyboard

Best idea for controller for games on my phone?

With how much i love my phone and how it plays games so smoothly now like dead space im playing alot more games on my phone so im really looking to get a controller for it. I was looking at the Zeemote controller
http://www.zeemote.com/
Anyone use the zeemote and what do they think?
But could i use any game controller with usb as long as i get the otg kernel
[KERNEL]Zedomax T989 Kernel - [OTG USB Host] - Connect USB Peripherals!
So what do i have to buy to make the usb cable fit into my phone using the zedomax kernel??
Any help would be much appreciated???
You can search on amazon or ebay for "MicroUSB OTG" and you will see microusb to usb adaptors, which should do the trick.

You need a custom kernel to support USB On The Go.
Also I have no idea how well OTG would work with a generic USB games controller, or even a wired 360 controller.
i bought this

Spidy! Sorry sorry!! I tought that I wrote that was the Original one!!
So, the dock is the Samsung Original one, as the image bellow:

Thank you in advance!
I was able to unmount the Samsung SGSII Cardock!!
As we can see, there is a resistor that enables the Cardock mode. Also, there is no connection of line 3 (D+) and 2 (D-) to usb female plug.
Now I have to read more the "Fun with resistors" thread to know if it is possible to mod the dock.
Does anyone know if it is possible to work like this?
The on/off key will be used to enable/disable the cardock mode. The yellow lines describes the new wires that i have to solder.
I decided to remove the smd board and plug a cable direct to the base. It's not the best solution bas it resolves my main issue (no USB data).

Need help with OTG and USB Y-cable. Don't want to blow my Kindle up.

So basically I would like to use a gamepad with my Kindle.
Would it be safe to attach a USB Y cable to the kindle, power supply and gamepad?
Here's the setup.
Would this work fine? Or will it blow up my Kindle? I'd rather ask before having an expensive paperweight. :fingers-crossed:

EDIT: This is because I read that OTG only outputs 2.5v, so this should work.

even if you hooked it up it wouldnt work, otg is disabled in the kernel. You would have to compile a kernel with it enabled in order to use it.

Thanks stunts.. but I read that some people were able to use low powered devices and others actual made a Y cable (or powered hub) and flash drives, devices, etc worked.
Maybe this is with amazon stock rom, I don't know.
I'm using CM 11.

Micro USB Ethernet Adapter compatible?

Do you know if a device like this will work with this smartphone? I want to surf internet at home via lan cable.

I have a cheap apple-compatible USB Ethernet. It uses the asix driver.
After turning off mobile data and wifi, I plugged the dongle in and a new icon appeared on my title bar, and DHCP ran and I could get to the internet over the LAN. I didn't see a way to configure it in the UI, but manual commands from the CLI work (ifconfig and friends).
I'm running Stock Pie 10.0.18.0.
I tried a second USB Ethernet I have. It's an ancient Pegasus II and it didn't show up at all.
Looking at /proc/config.gz, I see these USB things enabled:
CONFIG_USB_NET_DRIVERS=y
CONFIG_USB_USBNET=y
CONFIG_USB_NET_AX8817X=y
CONFIG_USB_NET_AX88179_178A=y
CONFIG_USB_NET_CDCETHER=y
CONFIG_USB_NET_CDC_NCM=y
CONFIG_USB_NET_NET1080=y
CONFIG_USB_NET_CDC_SUBSET=y
CONFIG_USB_BELKIN=y
CONFIG_USB_ARMLINUX=y
CONFIG_USB_NET_ZAURUS=y
I guess that means only a select number of devices will work out of the box. Those AX ones are ASIX, which is probably what allows my adapter to work.
I just noticed there is Ethernet usage next to mobile data and WiFi usage now...
This kernel have drivers for few USB-Ethernet adapters!

The adapter from Moshi is supported by Google
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HXXXF4B/ref=cm_sw_r_em_taa_KYrdCbDY5VYSE
This one is less expensive and has plenty of 5 star reviews when used with the Pixel 2
https://www.amazon.com/Headphone-Compatible-Essential-Hi-Resolution-Reduction/dp/B07FC8J3F4
I have not tried either.

It looks like they are making a new and improved one, if you go to their website. I will be buying that one when it becomes available.
