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!

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).

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.

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.

Is it possible to connect a USB Flash Drive to Touch. I want to use USB cable extender to connect the Flash Drive. Does WM6 recognize the USB Flash Drives or not?
it's a little more in depth than a cable, as yet, I have not seen anyone who has figured it out. We are not sure if the drivers for host capability exist, and you will need a speacial cable with all kinds of pulldown resistors and whatnot in order for the device to get power.
no it's the hardware usbchip which dont support it
no work around

I spoke to Seagate apparently they will only be selling this through the OEM channel. not directly to consumers. So I don't who would carry this and if we can buy it.
But they go upto 60GB.
Anyone knows where we can get it?
http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/products/consumer_electronics/DAVE/
a harddrive no but a flash drive should be perfectly within the usb spec this phone is built to it would just be a matter of proper drivers which probably are out their considering their are printer drivers which are much more compicated and no resistors would be required usb is a serial bidirectional interface not like cat5 their is no hardware crossover or anything required

Is there a way of accessing media files from your pc via internet and to access and use only needed files on my pda. It has to be the internet because the phone does not have wi-fi. I have a Sprint Touch. Storage has ultimatly been my problem. The bluetooth hdd sounded pretty good for my use but its not available. thanks... noob

I assume from your explanation that you are trying to use this when you are home? I would just use the Bluetooth FTP or Bluetooth browser and access the PC that way instead of using airtime.
If you want to use it while you are out then there is a device called Slingbox try googling that.
Good luck.

The MSM 7500 is the chip found in the Vogue...check out connectivity...it lists the port as USB OTG.... short for USB on the Go....which means it has limited hosting capabilities.
Even though Windows does support USB OTG Mass Storage, the problem is that the Vogue is not transmitting enough power via the USB port, which according to USB OTG regulations is OK. Which means you have to use specific selfpowered USB devices (most likely labeled as USB OTG compatible), or provide the power by yourself (splicing cable and adding correct AC adapter...).
HTC DOck
how 'bout this one:
http://www.expansys.com/htc/p_htc_item.aspx?i=145164
kinda big, and I think but here's the info:
Description
Keep the HTC Advantage at hand on a desk and at an ideal viewing angle. The docking station extends the peripheral connectivty of the Advantage and includes:
- A/V interface: VGA (15pin) port, Video out port, S-Video (4 pin) port, 3.5mm audio jack
- Charging & syncing interface: miniUSB port for power charging and synchronization, 2 x USB standard A female port (USB Host), 2nd battery charging slot
- LEDs indicators – 2nd battery, power & sync
Technical Details
(none available)
I'm experimenting with a powered USB Hub... who knows...
I want to buy an HTC Diamond and if it's possible I would use the mini usb port in it like a "host"...so (from the bottom of my lack of knowledge) I'll try to help this "project"...
If I'm not wrong USB On-The-Go is just a "chipset protocol", a feature of its and no more...the only two hdw thinks that a device must have to use it is
1) an AB type port usb (or mini usb as most pdas)
2) a circuit scheme that is able to send 5v to the pin of the port used during the "host mode"
Moreover, on the sfw side, it's necessary to have drivers that recognize and organize the host function of the port...
It's all right?
If I centered the situation I think that the only problem is the lack of 5v power to send to the pin, that's right?
In this case...why don't look (and copy) this?
Then, about the drivers matter, i think is sufficient a look to the others (a few I know) WM devices that already have a native usb host functionality...
I'm sorry if I said a lot of stupid thinks but I said before I just tried to gave an help.
PS: sorry for my english too and (because of this is my first message) Hi all!!!

www.orb.com will do what you want...you don't need a tv tuner to make use of its other capabilities.
Ok, as a lot of you maybe still know NEO1973 will have a USB host functionallity...
Infact it has a USB otg port and it will selled with this option already included.
About that I've found this page: a complete explaination to activate the host function of the port...it could be of any help?
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo1973_USB_host
2 quick points:
@dave68 - all of the pieces needed to make a USB flash drive work with the Toshiba E804 PPC (WM2003) already exist - including drivers. All I had to do to make that device work with USB Flash drive and USB HDD was use a powered hub with the WM2003 drivers installed.
@cdred - As already mentioned www.orb.com is one way to go. You will need a PC running the Orb software at home and a way to get to it (i.e. dyndns.org).
The Slingbox is another way to achieve this, or IMHO, the Buffalo LinkStation is a good choice.

Mine shows this message if I connect the USB OTG adapter first to the phone and then connect the USB receiver to it. To get it to work, connect the receiver to the adapter first before connecting to the phone. I use Logitech's unifying receiver with my SGSII and the keyboard and mouse works fine at the same time.

As Silverfox said, just get a BT KB/M and you'll keep the USB port free if you want to connect the charger or TV out adaptor.
well.. I'm using the logitech dinovo mini and over bluetooth work fine.. I had also try some other device..well my opinion is that the logitech device are supported without problem in both version wired and wireless. The other device depend.microsoft for example don't work correctly if you have the version with the big receive.

Galaxy W Users is having a major improvement! (as i feel), because Arco68 on his "[ROM][JB][JZO54K] CyanogenMod 10 ALPHA (Build 7)" Mod Thread finally enable USB OTG Support on our beloved phone, the Samsung Galaxy W
Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1990795
Basically, what does USB OTG do is to make our phone able to connect to external USB devices such as Flashdisk, Card Reader, Keyboard, Mouse, ETC. Myself has tried it with mouse, keyboard and card reader all in single usb HUB and it's works perfectly!
(to make USB Storage such as card reader or flashdisk to be recognized while connecting other devices such as mouse and keyboard, the card reader should be plugged after everything else. This way you can use keyboard and mouse, while working with your flashdisk/hdd/card reader all together)
Using external power source, as our phone doesn't supply power to the Micro USB Port

If you have spare time, the setup can even made portable by replacing the usb power adapter with

Hmmm, if a usb card reader works, i think usb stick should work because they both works quite the same way? and if a mouse works, also i think keyboard should works too. maybe you can plug usb Hub, then plug both mouse and keyboard at the same time and si if it works
I can plug keyboard and mouse to my wonder with cm10 alpha7.
If you said how can I plug flash sticks, card readers and externals, read this:
I hooked an external powered usb hub and plugged usb stick. it works

Good job bro!
got a usb otg cable today to experiment
i own a nice 7-port external power hub D-Link DUB-H7
tried to connect it to my phone, it even doesn't recognize it as a host)
another try was using an external hard drive with two usb cables - one to phone, other to power 'dumb' usb port
result - phone talks 'bout clear or damaged usb storage, possibly 'cause my drive has two partitions..
waiting for cheap chinese usb hub to mod it for power supply and continue research)
Anyone tested on joystick? would be great while playing Dead Trigger :laugh:
got a cheap usb hub today, thinking to mod it for external power supply
your scheme is to connect +5v directly to 5v contact from phone (it's not giving power) and gnd to phone's gnd respectfully
won't it damage the phone? maybe use some kind of diodes?
and is phone being charged while such modded hub is connected?
I've modded a usb hub to add external power supply....that's what I've done: I' ve put a second cable to power the hub and cut the VCC wire inside the other cable of the hub to avoid current return... to power it I use a 5V CC 1A power supply....I've tried this on my notebook and it works perfectly..but when I connect it on my galaxy w there is no device connected....but as you can see on the picture led light of my usb flash drive turns on, so it should work, but it isn't.....what is wrong??? any suggestions??? help please....I repeat: on my pc all works perfectly!!!!
So i have this usb hub, do I just take another usb cable and solder them in onto the board?

Hey guys,
I rooted my Fire TV and installed rbox' Prerooted Stock Images [5.0.5.1_r1]. I installed ParagonNTFS via ADB, started it on the Fire TV, and granted it root when prompted. This means from software side everything is ready for my external HDD. However, I tried to connect my old Samsung S2 2.5" external HDD with 500 GB (USB 2.0) and my new 2.5" Toshiba 1 TB (USB 3.0). The Samsung does not even turn on. The Toshiba continously tries to turn on but immediatly shuts down, then it tries again to turn on. Obviously the drives do not receive enough power via the USB port of the Fire TV. Is that a know problem or am I the only one?
From what I've read, only HDDs with its own power source works with any Fire TVs. I may be wrong though. Someone please confirm.

Um I had an usb issue before with the Fire TV 4k and it was due to USB Debugging being turned on in developer settings. If it's on, turn it off as it seems to make the usb port use less power.

The Samsung does not even turn on. The Toshiba continously tries to turn on but immediatly shuts down, then it tries again to turn on. Obviously the drives do not receive enough power via the USB port of the Fire TV. Is that a know problem or am I the only one?

I think the problem is the power from the usb port for your drive give the drive an external power and it works

so from these replies I take it the Fire tv2 cannot deal with the drive like my version 1.

How can I do that with an 2.5" drive that has no external power connection and will usually be powered via USB? Both drives worked perfectly on my WD TV Live.
maybe with a active usb hub

I just wonder whether I am the only one with that problem or if my Fire TV 4K is just broken.
I had a first gen FTV and i could use my 500gb HDD normally. But with my FTV4K it doesn't work. So i guess yours not broken.
You need a powered hub for external hard drives. Mine work just fine with one.
Does the nvidia Shield has the same problem? Because if I have to buy a bunch of accessories, I will just go straigh for the next nvidia Shield sale.

Thanks for your reply. I thought of that already. USB debugging is alraedy turned off. I also fear that I received a defect device in multiple ways. The device also does not dedect my 5 Ghz Wi-Fi but the 2.4 Ghz one of the same router.

Well for the 5G issue, it's apparent in most Amazon Fire devices, even on my stick and box!
You would need to move your channel down to 36 and it would work, it's a issue with the Fire tv's wi-fi certification or something like that.
Well it is possible that your hard drive just requires more power and that the Fire tv is using most of it There has been cases where the Fire TV 4K's USB Port does have issues, I remember reading an article where many people were complaining about it. Also I think there was an issue with the ethernet port using up power as well as it seems to be connected through a usb?
My 43" Toshiba Fire TV works fine with 750Gb HDD connected to USB 3.0 -> SATA adapter. BUT is works ONLY with FAT32 format so you cannot use it to watch 4K movies. I even connected it via USB 2.0 hub and use it at same time with USB keyboard. Is any possibility to make it read NTFS? My 7 YEARS OLD Samsung has USB 3.0 port and read ANY HDD formats.
Hi,
I am trying to connect a USB mouse with my LG V20.
I have to use office system thru VMware (only occasionally) and if i have a mouse that would really help.
I tried 2 different OTG USB to USB C adaptors, but the mouse does not seem to work or load. These OTG adapters load external SD card or flash drive without problems.
I have tried a wired mouse as well as Microsoft wireless mouse.
Is there any setting or an app that is needed?
I can buy a Bluetooth mouse if you think that will work with this phone. but if i dont have to buy an extra mouse that would be great.
thank you
