Has anyone tried this genuine samsung cable ? I would like to know if this is a true OTG and not just a microUSB to USB adapter. Also, does it support usb mice and keyboards etc ?
I'm not allowed to post links yet, but it is available on mobilefun already.
I have bought dealextreme.com/p/micro-usb-on-the-go-host-otg-adapter-pair-50774 My 16gb flash works fine, but mouse dont. I tryed 2 mouses. One is simple with usb wire, other is wirreles. But no one worked. When I connect, just nothing happned. Any idea how to make it work?
I bought a no name OTG cable in Hong Kong and it works fine, tried my flash drive, my kensington usb wireless keyboard/mouse combo, and my logitech wireless mouse. all of it works fine! can post pics if necessary.

Pls post that otg cable pics.
I bought the OTG cable. It works like a charm and it cost me 15euros. At least it's got the Samsung logo on it.
I bought a Samsung charger too and guess what. The microusb is moving when insert it in the phone. I have to keep it in place in with my hand to charge it...

If it's the wireless one: It could use a driver that GS2 don't has or it's recognized as a high-power device, in the last case though the phone should print a warning...

If I didn't remember properly, CA-157 has a Micro usb A connector. S2 is using USB B
iirc the CA-157 USB OTG cable has a microUSB A connector while the GSII has a microUSB B port. Won't work unless you trim the corners.
Just get the $2 for 2 USB OTG adaptors w/ free shipping from dealextreme.
i see... thanks all for replying!
I have on that works perfect on sgs2, reads sd cards/thumb drives/ and can use wireless mouse, and someone said they used a keyboard.

thats the nokia one from the link i posted i think it works... ill try it
It's not going to work. MicroUSB A plugs are not going to fit into a microUSB B port unless you trim the corners.
I'm guessing that's what the guy in the video did.

I have the Nokia cable that comes with Nokia E7 and i can assure it DOES NOT work!
the shape of the port itself is different and it won't fit into the galaxy s2 port.
Different Types...
There are two different types of nokia cable. One for the N900 or N810 and the other for others (known as CA-157) the only way to get a working cable for the SGS2 that is supposedly for Nokia is an unofficial (ebay...) micro-usb b so basically the N900 and N810 and a few others. Unfortunately Nokia have modified the ports slightly on their phones so they support the official Nokia cables (that only work on Nokia phones) and the unofficial MicroUsb Gender-X (depending on what the phone is.
This rules out all official Nokia cables and all Cables designed for Micro USB A Phones.
I got some MicroUSB OTG adapters from dealextreme and they work fine. Tested them with my 16GB thumbdrive and my Logitech unified mouse & keyboard dongle. Funny having a mouse cursor on my SGSII.

I have that cable for my S2 and all i had to do is trim corners..works flawlessly
Can you please share what kernel / ROM you guys are using? I got an adapter which works great with USB memory and wired USB mice, however, my wireless mouse does not show up and hooking up a wired keyboard hangs the phone hard and I have to pull the battery.
I tried Sensation by Crysis 1.9 (kernel is SpeedMod) and WanamLite 5.7 (kernel is Siyah 2.1) same results on both. Planning to try MadMack 2.2 tonight as its closest to stock. If the adapter was bad, it should not have worked with memory or wired mouse either.
Will appreciate any pointers in this regard.
EDIT:
I also tried CF-Root kernel as it is nearly stock, checked lsusb and dmesg outputs, lsusb is always correct but dmesg show kernel logs which are problematic. My wireless mouse is detected as keyboard (wrong), another wireless keyboard / mouse combo is detected as composite device (correct) but get error -104 while activating, wired keyboard gets detected but crashes something in the kernel, I also used 51-android.rules but not sure if it helps because /etc/udev did not even existed and I had to create it.
<4>[ 68.820948] generic-usb: probe of 0003:09DA:054F.0002 failed with error -104
Now as all of these devices work perfectly on my Iconia on Honeycomb I guess an ICS upgrade for S2 should bring similar results, so can only use mass storage till then
What are the different items I can connect to my Note via the USB On The Go adapter?
Apart from USB thumb pen drives, do external hard drives, wireless keyboard and mouse, gamepsds work?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
they all should work out of the box, except for hard drives, which will need additional power
I want to try this feature but cannot find an adapter that works. I bought one off eBay but that was no good, the supplier stated it was for the Galaxy Note but didn't work on Gingerbread 2.3+ which was odd as obviously the Note ships with Gingerbread 2.3
I contacted Samsung who said I needed the official Samsung OTG cable but they don't sell to Joe Public .. trawling endless sites to find a supplier came up zero.
So if anyone know of a supplier (UK preferred) of one of these compatible adapter / cables please let me know
Good to see someone started this topic, very useful..
I have the Galaxy note and managed to connect my Keysonic keyboard with builtin mouse with no problems. I have the otg adapter and when I plugged in the wireless adapter the note picked it up as a keyboard and mouse, worked great.

Also the scrolling on the mousepad worked!!

I've just tried my N8s adaptor but no luck I'm afraid. It's connector to the phone is thicker and simply won't fit into the Note.
Nokia (at least the official cable) uses the "correct" Micro USB A for Hostmode.
You have to get Micro USB B for the Note.
(B cable fit in A but not otherwise)

Anyone try a generic USB Gamepad? I have a PS3 copy/generic USB that would be cool to hook up to it for emulator games.
I have the original adapter and it's working great:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-R205UBEGSTA-Adapter-Packaging-T-Mobile/dp/B006FYBC70
USB gamepads should work when ICS is coming. Its in there.
dose this mean that not any OTG cable will work!
most are working but some are cheap quality
and some not well made
i bought several OTG cables from a seller on ebay and all worked

Are you referring to those external hard drives that take power from the USB port?
What about those external hard drives that take on a separate power supply, those that are attached to a power socket? Anyone tried plugging in one of those to a Note?
ok I just buy one and it did work fine with sandisk 64gb.
so it's confirmed that it can read portable drives.
looking forward to owning one.
I had purchased a micro USB adapter from Amazon a few weeks back (this one - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0023FTRUO/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00), and supposedly it works as an OTG adapter. I was excited when it finally arrived, but once I plugged it into the Kindle, two different issues:
It seems that the adapter doesn't fit snugly into the port, it is quite loose;
The Kindle may not even recognize the connection.
I tried plugging the adapter into my phone, and it fit perfectly and was recognized. Does anyone have suggestions on resolving this? I would hate to have to order another one and wait a few more weeks.
Thanks!
does the stock charger fit tightly?

Yep! (I should have mentioned that to start, hehe)
OTG adapters will only work if they are connected to a powered USB hub, straight out of the kindle nothing will work since its only putting out 3.3V and USB devices need 5V.
I got my xbox controller working just fine using a OTG cable and hub but there are still some issues with USB storage, I could get the KF to see the drive but it would not mount.
I got a Micro-USB to USB (female) cable form ebay... from China (I didn't know until I chekced later. I usually have the "UK sellers only" option checked).
Anyway, after an eternity, it arrived today. But, it doesn't work when I plug it in. Nothing happens. My Sandisk Cruzer doesn't light up when I plug it in or anything.
I was on the ninphetamin3 Kernel, and I've tried the Siyah kernel, just in case it's the kernel that was limiting functionality... Apparently it's not because it still doesn't work.
It only cost a couple of quid, but is there something I might be missing that I can check before buying another from the UK?

That is not necessarily an OTG cable... did it SAY it was an OTG cable? If not, it probably isnt. Pin 4 and 5 need to be connected (in the micro usb side) for it trigger OTG functionality. if it is not working it means one of 2 things:
1. You didn't buy and OTG cable, you just bought a cable with the ends you wanted, but without the funtionality
2. Something is broken on your phone... test that cable in another phone with OTG capability (go to a verizon store if you have to)
3. I think i remember seeing you need an app to use some flash drives (keybaords and mice work without any app, i can attest to that from experience)

That's the one I got. It's 5pin, but you're right in that it doesn't say it was OTG.
I don't have another OTG compatible device to test with
I got an OTG cable and I tired loads of different things to get it working.... in the end I rebooted the S3 with a usb drive connected and it worked after that.
I'm on stock rooted LG6
This is what I got

yep, it is just a plug adapter.
You now have 2 choices:
1. cut open the micro USB, and connect pins 5 and six
2. buy one that actually says it is an OTG

Hello everybody, i just received a usb type-c to female usb adapter (made by Victsing®) from amazon on this link amazon.fr/VicTsing-Adapteur-Convertisseur-Chromebook-appareils/dp/B017I8A40CUnfortunately it is not working on my oneplus 2. I plugged a mouse, xbox 360 controller, usb pen drive and it didn't even turned on. No lights, nothing...
Is there any tweak or app to instal to make it work? My opt is rooted and xposed is installed.
Thanks in advance!

after looking through many forums, it seems that the issue is that OnePlus has used a slightly different setup with a 2.0 usb type-c connector so it doesn't work with anything other than their first party connectors. I have tried to connect a kingston data traveler microduo 3c and it isn't recognised either
So the issue is a hardware problem i guess, only solution is to buy their usb type c to micro usb adapted and then plug OTG cable?
So there will be no software fix...
Where do we find this orignal convertor

It may be possible for them to provide an update that creates a workaround to the problem however that does not seem very likely, i guess we just have to wait and see

the original converter would be on the oneplus site or i have heard they are also available on Ali Express
So not in India yet i guess
Hmm... I have the original OTG cable from oneplus, 2 other OTG cable ( 1 is USB 2 and the other works both with USB2 and USB3 with power up mass storage) and none of them work for my OPT.... HOWEVER they work for my OPO.... fking oneplus....
Thank you for your responses.
Hope that android MM or CM will give a solution!
i asked the oneplus official, they said ONLY THEIR OTG adapter can work with OPT...
and what's worse, they are currently out of stock of this stupid adapter! They told me to visit offline shops. oh are you kidding?
well that sucks. I was planning to buy a OPT but decided not to. they decided to leave quick charge/turbo charge alone and made some modifications on their port so only their product would work. what about the countries where it's hard to ship a product. damn this is lame
I bought a third-party USB-C to Micro-USB adaptor from Amazon that works with Micro-USB OTG drives and my old Micro-USB OTG cable with a USB mouse & USB memory sticks.

Thanks for reply I'll try this method.
Anyway I bought an OTG adapter (uUSB) and an uUSB-TypeC adapter (Xiaomi) and it works! (seems the problem is type C otg are always 3.0 op2 does not support USB 3.0 standard)
Mmm tbh I only use my USB stick and that always seems to work okay. USB C is just future proofing got to wait for rest to catch up now.
