My question is : Will a USB game pad work with Galaxy S II ? ?
Like Xbox 360 , PS3 or PC game pads .
Great news if it does! Is that adapter only compatible on the Galaxy S II?
If Samsung haven't done some tweaks on the adapter itself .I think it'll work on any device that support "USB OTG" e.g. Motorola Atrix .
I'm pretty sure the adapter is just a micro USB -> USB adapter, and does nothing more. Now I really doubt you'll be able to use gamepads out of the box or even keyboard/mouse because it might not function as a USB host (only USB OTG as Dark Sector said), and it certainly won't have the drivers needed to use a USB keayboard, mouse, gamepad etc.
But if the SGS2 has an unlocked bootloader and devs are able to change the kernel, then it should be possible to use about any USB device, like on the Nexus One (not saying it will happen though ^^)
So a USB female-female cable might do he trick
One thing i want to note is that the Galaxy S II support the USB host
The only thing that keeps me wondering is if the USB game pads will work with the wii mote software with or without tweaks .
Fingers crossed someone finds a way of pairing a ps3 pad!

I think this remains to be seen, the Nokia N8 with USB OTG will work with USB keyboard/mouse so there is hope yet that the SGSII will also support these. I will be testing it with my USB OTG adapter when my phone finally arrives. I do agree that gamepads are unlikely to work.
I wonder how hard it would be to create bluetooth drivers to allow use of the ps3 game pad
Quite difficult it would seem, since nobody managed it for the original Galaxy S, which I would think will have essentially the same BT stack as the SGSII.
The original SGS didn't have usb-hosting though. That could make all the difference and it's the best chance we have of getting the ps3 controller to work.
I just wish I had the knowledge and talent to have a go at it myself. I'm sure those who know what they're doing will be very interested in the challenge

This is the main problem and what got me thinking about the USB game pads as an alternative .
Because i really want to play with emulators when i get my GSII but it's hard to play without a game pad .

I'm pretty sure that the wiimote software will work with some tweaks so we wont have to buildup a whole new software

Wiimote will work because there is a dev behind it, usb gamepads like xbox 360 and playstation3 should work theoretically with the right drivers. Just need someone to develop it.. But the phone should handle it
well the sgs has been out for a while now and you still can't use a wiimote on it yet not with the original fw, and as i recall it there was development on getting a ps3 remote working with android but haven't heard about it for a long time. but i still hope for it.
yes this really is the device to get a gamepad working on it. If we could get ps3 controllers working then add a micro usb - hdmi cable + tv (ideally a new one which charges your phone at the same time) and you have a portable ps1,snes etc. Now once they get 1 controller working hopefully it wont be too hard to add another. be pretty awesome to be able to play some tekken off your phone on a big screen + charge your phone at the same time

So, with the update, anyone think we can hook up a wireless receiver (I'm thinking the logitech unifying receiver) and use both the keyboard and mouse with it? That's how I do it with the laptop, just wondering if anyone can read (and understand) the release notes to see if this is possible...
Well the support is for USB keyboards and mice, so I doubt the PC setup you have will work since the xoom probably wont have the drivers for that specific receiver. Not to mention that sounds really cumbersome.

Sorry, did I have this wrong? As I understood, this update enables USB host. Doesn't that mean that (assuming drivers were available) that USB keyboards and mice would work?
Not really that cumbersome, BTW- plenty of folk on here are already talking about connecting USB thumb drives. This setup would be the same, at least in terms of what's connected to the xoom. If you really need to know what I'm planning, here's what I have to set it up:

suit yourself. The amazon one you buy will not work. I could hunt down the Moto forums post explaining why it wont, but It sounds like you wouldnt believe me anyways, so I wont waste my time trying to help you not waste your money. I do hope your setup works to be honest, it seems kinda cool, but this stuff is just too proprietary. Good luck.
One last aside, if paying 20 dollars is really that huge of a deal to you, you can make your own USB host cable. Which is why those 3 dollar amazon ones wont work, they lack usb host.

I realize I made a typo in my earlier statement when I typed it added support for "Bluetooth keyboards", I meant to say "USB keyboards". Weve had bluetooth support since launch, that must have sounded ridiculous to you. I had basically meant to say that since you are planning on using a wireless receiver, the drivers would not be there. Now if you use the right usb host cable with a usb-cabled keyboard, then yes, it will definitely work. And with that I will stop jacking your thread.
If that's the case, then why are there several threads where people have updated to 3.1 with $3 cables from eBay?
and I knew what you were saying earlier even with the mistake
sent from my face
For the sake of overall Xoom awesomeness, I hope you turn out to be right. More options never hurt. Ive read threads were people got a usb host cable from ebay/amazon, and some types worked while others wouldn't. Its really trial and error I suppose.
Actually in all honesty USB Host does not mean every keyboard or mouse will work.... unix based drivers would first have to be directly recognized within the Android OS... most will work but not all... thats where testing comes into play

If anyone wants to pick one up without having to wait for it to ship from Hong Kong, I found a listing on eBay within the US for a nicer cable for $8.95. It's black to match the Xoom and has an angled micro USB connector to avoid it sticking out. It shipped the same day and was delivered two days after I ordered!
I can confirm it's working with multiple wireless mouse/keyboard sets as well as standard USB mice/keyboards and flash drives... I started geeking out when the cable got delivered and promptly started plugging every USB device I could find into my Xoom, just because I can!

I went to Best Buy and happened to pick up the very last USB adapter. I got it with a ShopKick $5 discount so it came out to about $16 with tax. My first impression was that the box was much smaller than I expected. It was about the size of my Droid.

I preceded to open it up and noticed how much smaller it was than I expected.
The first thing I plugged in was my usb wireless mouse.
My Tab recognized it right away and gave me a nice message saying it worked and now I had a cursor on the screen. Everything worked on the mouse except for the right mouse button, but I kind of expected that.
The next thing I tried was my Droid. It gave me an error saying that it was too high powered to work, which is a bummer, but I can still transfer between the two with bluetooth even if it takes a little while to set up.
Finally I tried a usb drive with a track by Deadmau5 because I knew that that song was not in my library or my Google Music library. Sure enough it showed up in my Music app, but I couldn't find it in Astro File Manager. There was a folder for "usbdrive", but when I opened it, it was empty.
Overall Opinion
I was expecting the adapter to be about twice the size, but was quite happy to find that it was smaller. It seems to work with many devices, but it is maddening when you get the "too high powered device" error. It was also a very tight fit to fit a USB device into the end and you had to use quite a bit of force to plug stuff in. I feel like the overall plug itself fits very loose though in the Tab and that bothers me. It's just too bad Samsung couldn't have fit it inside the tab
7/10
Pros:
Small
Allows many usb devices
Adds more functionality
Cons:
It fits into the Tab loosely
Expensive at $19.99 for what it is
Doesn't work with high powered devices
Thanks for the review... was planning on buying it, but maybe I'll hold off for a bit.

I would recommend it, it's just kind of expensive for what it is.
We need a version of this that allows a USB power. I know it's another thing to plug in but it would save from needing to carry/plug in a powered USB hub just to use an external HD.
I got mine for 10 dollars after a 10 dollar RZ coupon from Best Buy. Everything I've plugged into it works so far (Mouse, Keyboard, Logitech USB Controller, different thumb drives). I have no complaints.
Of interest is that the Engrish directions state that you need to plug whatever USB device into the adapter first, and then plug the adapter into the Tab, or else risk damaging the Tab. Not too sure why.

I know Samsung made the 11 pin micro USB to use MHL and OTG accessories the same time because it was impossible before, and everyone says you can't use both over a normal hub so when the Hell is Samsung gonna release an accessory to do that, because they have delays on Allshare cast, MHL converter adapter(in some countries) and you can't game on Tv with wired controller, mouse, keyboard etc until Samsung bother to release it all, I mean I'm really getting pissed off having a phone capable of so much but right now just feels like an S2 with a bigger screen.

Can you confirm that you can use one usb port to charge the phone while using the other port for OTG? I recently asked this question on MobileFun's video on this product and someone seemingly from the company says it can't.

Today I get an micro HDMI to HDMI cable from eBay, and tested it just few minutes ago, and I can only say, WOW. Great experience and quality of transfer, from watching simple pictures, to watching HD videos.
My long time problem with not being able to watch my favourite shows/movies on LCD is now gone because I don't need to burn all shows and movies to DVD's and then watch them in my crappy Samsung DVD player, which interrupts playing every 15-20 mins because of aged laser lens (not to mention limitation to standard definition .avi files only).
One more nice thing is, you can browse your phone on your HD LCD, and play some of your favourite games too, and they look really amazing.
The best thing I ever get for some of my phones from eBay. Ofcourse I could buy this regularry in some of the tech shops in my town, but this way it costed me about 30% less, with longer cable, and golden connectors.
Now excuse me, I'm going to watch Star Trek (2009) in HD...
Must say, I never thought that it would be that good quality. First time I plugged it in, though it was a bit of a gimmick. Wasn't very smooth and the quality was bad. However.....
As soon as I fired up a tv show, it suddenly changed to being crystal clear. Life On Mars played as good as it does on my PS3, also sounds great too. It's perfect to plug into a HDTV when your on holiday. No more need to lug around a laptop or many DVD's :laugh:
I play with my phone using a 360 wireless controller, charging at the same time (livedock) and plugged to a bravia tv... Amazing...
To be honest I prefer playing that way with my phone than with the xbox360, the games are funnier and free...
I cant do that with my galaxy s2, thats why I love my arc s
Hahha, Overdose I thought I am the only Crazy guy playing like this! But you proofed me wrong! The only thing I own is an Xperia Arc and a no name TV which supports HDMI( 72op HD Ready) .. So , I got a controller from my friend -and started to get creative and end up using my phone as a console !

And how do you play games that require screen interaction (Angry Birds and so on...)?

I'm using the Cideko Air keyboard. Works great with a simple €3 - €5 usb otg cable from Amazon.de. Probably dealextreme sells them too.
Anyone found a third party dock as well? Or only the Sony one?

Hi, i only play games now and then on my tablet so i don't need a brilliant expensive one, i just want one that will do the job and make game playing on certain games (gta, sonic etc) better, i find using the screen all the time a bit rubbish and makes me not want to bother with the games i have.
can anyone recommend one?

I use a wireless ps3 contoller and the sixaxis app but you need to be rooted i believe.

Odp: can anyone recommend a gamepad thats not too expensive?

You can use siaxis app without root but only with usb cable

Someone link me to an OTG cable?
I'd love to give this a go (non-rooted here, and intend to keep it that way)

Assuming you have an android phone as well you could try this app it works for me I use it with nesoid and n64oid and believe it should work with gta and sonic it turns your phone into a bluetooth controller for use with a tablet or another phone as the host. Heres the link to the free version which I am using I am thinking of getting the full version so I can have other controller layouts. Full version is a $1.10 aus.

How do u like this controller? Does the left and right analog thumb sticks have 360ºaxxis or do they only have 8 points of direction?

Just picked this up from GS today. Works like a charm. Have it paired to My Note 10.1, Note 2, & Nexus 7. Works perfectly with all three.
Tested working on ShadowGun/DeadZone, Dead Trigger, Shine Runner Beach Buggy, RipTide, and sort of on Samurai Vengeance(roll/evade doesn't map)
Does not work on Bat Man TDK, or NFSMW

I want to get a gamepad to use on my note. Does the ps3 controller work like it should ie all directional controls, jump, fire etc?.
I use the ps3 controller works great.. Just have to make a custom profile and it will work with every game

Thanks for that. I will pop down to the shop tomorrow and get one. Do you use sixaxis to use the Ps3 controller?

This. You need the OTG adapter + MiniUSB cable to pair it though (but once paired you dont need the adapter, it'll remember the pairing) I dont do a lot of gaming but when using it, it's been quick and responsive. (it does require root - and remember to change the input method after its paired and change back when your done or the onscreen KB wont show up)

You don't have to change the input method. You just have to select "Enable Gamepad" under Preferences -> Gamepad Settings. The gamepad buttons will work as long as the checkbox for "Sixaxis Controller" under "Language and input" in "System Settings" is checked. Pressing the start button will act as the home button even if you have the Samsung Keyboard set as the main IME.

I didn't realise that, I've been selecting it each time I use my controller. I only use it to play modern combat upto now. Tried playing gta vice City but the button configuration isn't that good.
