Tested a thumb drive, it connected instantly and is behaving just like the SD card. Contents show up in the folder 'USB storage'.

Keyboard connected but device freezed. Had to restart the device. Will try some other keyboard. This one was a HP.

Mouse scroll wheel works too. Can scroll the page just like PC. Links or options are highlighted as the page is scrolled.

Here is a screenshot of the mouse pointer, i had keyboard connected too but i don't know how to show it on a screenshot.
I plugged in my Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse (thus connecting them simultaneously). Really happy!
I am now wondering if i can use the phone as a CPU and use my LED as a display. The input devices being connected wirelessly, it sounds do-able. Only question is how to connect the HDMI cable when the only slot is already serving input devices

I am just working on this setup, For that one need to use Bluetooth mouse and keyboard AND Samsung MHL HDMI cable.
I already had a Logitech Bluetooth mouse, and yesterday i bought Bluetooth mini keyboard which is HID and works very well with Note. Its available globally in <USD 20$.
My MHL HDMI is on the way, i should be playing around this weekend with this stuff.
Having teamviewer already configured for my work and home laptop, this should be real fun to use Note (CPU) and my HD TV

I have used MHL to TV, and bluetooth KB and Mouse for input. Works like a charm!

Any idea if those wireless devices that have their own dongles work?

That is exactly what I meant! Thanks! I have the Logitech Mini Controller (like the dinovo mini, sans Bluetooth) and it has a dongle. I love the keyboard/mouse combo and the flip up lid holds the note perfectly. I guess I am going to have to buy an OTG cable!

Can confirm the Logitech Unifying gear works (and allow simultaneous keyboard and mouse).

Hope Teamviewer doesn't disappoint - when I last tried it out it didn't support external KB/Mouse properly. Only one I've found that does is Splashtop (works really great with the MHL/BT setup like in the video in my YouTube channel).

Thanks, I was thinking to check out Splashtop, If Teamviewer doesnt work then i will switch to splashtop.

I am looking forward to purchasing 64GB flash drive for connecting through OTG. Do you guys think it will be supported? What is the maximum size that it can support?

Note, right now, only supports FAT32 File-System.
So even if you have a 64Gig Flash drive, it will still have to be formatted in FAT32.
Windows itself does not format anything bigger than 32GB in FAT32.
Also, you can't put any files bigger than . . i am not sure, either 2 or 4 GB each on a FAT32 formatted drive.
Siyah Kernel has NTFS and CIFS support, but no Note Support yet.
Abbyss has Note support, but no NTFS and CIFS support yet i think.

My OTG cable works fine when connecting a USB stick or a card reader, I am able to use the memory on the attached card.
However, I connected the Logitech dongle for a wireless mouse but it doesn't have any effect on the Note. Am I missing some settings somewhere? I have looked but I can't find anything. I assumed some drivers would be needed for this type of connection but looking at your comments it appears you got it to work without issue.

Logitech wireless worked out of box, no drivers, no settings.

Ok, will stick to 32gig then

I'm using a Transcend 16GB JetFlash USB3 thumb drive to play TV shows and general transfers to the device - I get over 20MB/s transfers from my PC to the drive over USB2, so it's quite a bit quicker than copying to internal or external SD on the Note itself.

[SixAxis] Pairing the SixAxis PS3 Controller in JB

I have JB installed and I'm trying to pair my SixAxis Controller. I have a USB dongle and a MHL Adapter. I've tried the SixAxis App from the market that I've used before on a few devices and it seems to lock up.
I've also tried to pair it natively which WAS supported on ICS. The bluetooth menu shows the PS3 SixAxis but is prompting for a PIN and failing to communicate. Following some native pairing guides, it suggests you have to physically connect the controller via USB to the device first, let it "sync" up behind the scenes, then pair it normally.
This isn't working either.
I am running JB with a Franco kernel. It could be the kernel but I doubt it. I do know some stock BT drivers wreck havoc with the SixAxis app and typically run using CM stuff.
The PS3 controller does run off USB physically... so I know thats working. I'm just curious if anyone has gotten it to work wirelessly by some fun alternate means.

Sixaxis app is not yet optimized to jb.

! well it should be !
Seems like I'm close with Natively pairing it though. I've reset the phone a few times and left it connected via USB over a few minutes to let it do whatever it needs to do... but still nothing. I just got my MHL adapter and looking to pick up my FF7 save on my big TV.
Guess I can't use my MHL adapter and USB adapter at the same time

I been using mine while in ics playing nes games.. flash jb rom and looks like it couldn't pair.. I send an email to the developer of the said apps and he said that he will look for a solution since there's a lot of people asking about it.

On a positive note, I plugged in my MHL adapter and now my JB is bootlooping after it's been working all week.
Jeesh. I hope it's not one of those days where technology hates me. I think its just the MHL adapter. Unplugged it and now its booting. Plug it in, and it immediately reboots. Bunk MHL and SixAxis.

It's probably a dodgy MHL adapter. I've been using mine on JB with no problems

I flashed back to my Liquid ICS Nandroid and the MHL adapter is working. Restored my JB and instant reboot.
I think it might have to do with the Franco JB kernel.
Anyway. No success on getting the PS3 controller to pair. I miss having a dedicated HDMI port. MHL is kinda stupid.

As for the MHL, my cheapo MHL from Monoprice is working very well with JB and the 32" LCD in my hotel. It had randomly blacked out at home on a monitor, but before travel I did pick up a 2.1amp charger before I left, though, hoping it would help along with usb fast charge.

Hello folks,
I have the same problem. Using a dualshock 3 and sixaxis app bought yesterday from store I can't pair with a galaxy nexus running 4.1.1. The rom is custom: black bean 3.1.2. The phone is rooted. Will post pics if necessary.

I had it working flawlessly on my JB Cm10 rom.
I had to download and use the sixaxis pairtool application for windows, change the bluetooth mac address of the controller to match that of my phone. Then, I tried pairing and it worked great. It worked a little weird I suppose but here's what I did step-by-step:
1. Turn on ps3 controller.
2. Open Sixaxis app on phone.
3. Touch Start.
4. It will fail to connect as it "searches", just click Stop.
5. Touch Start once again and it should turn on bluetooth, then display Client Connected: 1.
6. Change IME to Sixaxis PS3.
7. Open game and starting playing.

Actually you dont even need to make it IME you could make it appear as a joystick most if not all emulators now natively use joysticks as well as android games such as dead trigger. LOVE playing dead trigger with my PS3 controller so much easier.

How do get vehicle to recognize phone is connected?

How do I get my 2013 Chevrolet Silverado to recognize that my phone is connected? When I change source it just tells me to connect a device after connecting one and the same even if it is connected before changing sources. I have Minco ROM 4.2.1 running Franco kernel 364. I turned off USB debugging in the phone's developer options and disabled the USB fast charge in the kernel settings. I even rebooted after disabling those.
I'm thinking the problem is due to the nexus not having an SD card confuses it but then again should any music being played on the phone be sent through to the truck's radio/speakers as well?

"Insert a disc, USB, or Aux stereo device" is what my truck tells me when I switch to the source that should allow the stereo to recognize my phone. I've tried different cables and after researching all weekend I think the problem is this crappy Media Transfer Protocol since the Nexus doesn't have a standalone SD card. But I still can't find a solution. Does anyone know of an app, MOD, or kernel that can fix my issue?

I understand your pain. However, I'm not sure the GNex can push audio through the USB port. Not sure if other headsets do this, never really attempted to, but the only cheap solution for you right now is to use an auxiliary cable or if you're willing to spend the money, an OEM car dock. I have one and it works fantastically, charges and plays audio through pogo pins.

If your device is a nexus there's nothing you can do because you don't have mass storage mode available. In that case, the nexus only can connect in MTP mode (media transfer protocol), and probably your truck's media player does not recognize that protocol. I have an Alpine and only supports mass storage mode, in case helps you.
You can, howerer, use a male-male 3.5mm jack and connect from the phone to the truck input, like if you were on headphones but directly to your car or truck.

That's what I thought :/ I was hoping there was a way to partition the drive and use a kernel that enables ums mode so I could do this. I'd rather not have two cables connected and have to control through my phone instead of the stereo/steering wheel

If you want UMS on devices that don't have it, you can use DriveDroid from market (there's both free and paid). With it, create a blank file that will be used as "partition". Then you can connect your phone to your computer and put there the songs you want. Then do the same in the car. For example, in my Nexus 7 I've created a 2 GB file which serve for that purpose (takes a while when is big).

Can't connect my black shark 3 to laptop

My black shark 3 only charges when connected to laptop. There is no pop up to connect it to laptop please help

I'm having the same problem. it used to be fine and then all the sudden, it doesn't connect to the pc anymore.

Good afternoon!
I am from Brazil and I have the same problem unfortunately and without a solution so far and I believe it is a physical defect ....
Before I suspected that the last security update of the month 12/2020 could have caused this but seeing this topic there are people with this problem since 09/2020, that is before the android security update ...
I follow the topic to see if someone gives a light because mine is the same way I connect on the PC with his original usb cable and the device just keeps charging and does not open the menu to select the data transfer mode and even if I go to "Developer options" and enter usb settings and leave selected data transfer, nothing happens unfortunately it just keeps charging and doesn’t connect with the computer.
I did tests with other usb cables and nothing and also tried to connect to a Macbook Air and the same thing the device only charges and nothing else.
Detail the OTG function of it works normally because I connected an OTG adapter with a pen drive and recognized it normally in the cell phone and became the only way to transfer his data to a pc using the otg adapter and a pen drive for this solution.

try closing google chrome on your laptop , then connecting your phone.

Good afternoon Lizzo !!
Boy, I thank you for the tip, but I've done it here and nothing ...
In fact I've tried I believe that everything ...
I have already restored the device and nothing to recognize on the PC.
I entered recovery connected to the pc and nothing to recognize.
I plugged in 2 different pcs and a notebook nothing.
I plugged in a 2011 Macbook air and nothing to recognize.
I plugged in normal USB 2.0 and 3.0 also nothing to recognize.
I called the multimedia in my car that mirrors the image of the cell phone and also nothing to recognize the cell phone.
Anyway it only charges when connected to any USB and the OTG function normally works because I connect a samsung adapter that I have and a pen drive and it recognizes normally ....
In other words, unfortunately a device of 400 USD that presents an idiotic defect like that of not connecting to the pc unfortunately ....
Even so I thank you for the tip and I'll keep an eye out to see if anyone else gives a tip.
Thank you all.

I have been thinking that I had the same problem, so I contacted the customer support and they told me to do this:

Hello
Enable dev mode by click 5 times in setting-about your phone, and search usb configuration in the sear bar, find default usb configuration and choose file transfile.
I tried it and it didn't work, so I tried everything I could think of and connected the phone to an old windows computer (I was using apple computers) and it worked, it seems that Mac os doesn't detect the phone while windows ones do.
So if you guys are trying with Mac os, maybe you had the same problem.

Question Is there a method to re-implement ethernet thetering on realme UI 2.0?

Hello,
is there a method that i could connect my usb-c over ethernet adapter to my pc from the phone allowing it to share internet from it?
I know the option ethernet over thetering was implemented in stock Android 11 rom but why was it removed from realme UI i don't understand (correct me if i'm wrong)
The order it's Phone Tethering --> Usb-c to ethernet adapter --> Windows System
And will this function be implemented in realmeUI 3.0? because that option remained also in OneUI 4.0 (samsung).
Hope for an answer.
Regards.

you cant use it if you chose transfer file you must chose charge only to use it ^^ like this ^^

maybe you need another cable to work other then the one that your using i used the cable that came with the phone and it works with me

maybe you don't understand, i wanted to connect my phone with RJ45 adapter to my pc not use an usb to connect my pc via tethering https://www.google.com/search?q=rj4...&biw=1920&bih=904&dpr=1#imgrc=SVBP8DUya15ZzMi
i could try using the rj45 adapter connected to the pc and then using a usb dongle to connect the normal cable to ethernet, i only wanted to use wired hotspot without charging the battery because keeping it forever at 100% it's not that good.
