Or in other words, if a keyboard had a micro USB connector, would that work on this tablet? Thanks for any and all help.
No. It's called USB on the go or USB Host mode, you can search the forum for threads about it.
But the short answer is "no"
Thanks for the reply!!

Can you use the Mini USB connector on a WM Phone (I've got an Ultimate 9502) to successfully connect directly to a USB Thumb Drive (if you get a gender changer)?
Thanks
Nathan
works on my u1000...but as you mentioned it uses the 4-in-1 cable to adapt the standard usb plug to my unit's mini usb. i recall a similar question like this in the forum...and i remember rudegar's response that only a few wm devices accept usb thumb drives. not sure which ones though...so for your unit you may need to do some additional research and / or ask the manufacturer if this is possible.
but fyi, when i plug in a usb thumb drive, it comes up as "hard disk" when i use file explorer. this is separate from the sd card and the microdrive.
cheers
Thanks (did try searching first but did not find the post) - I've posted the Q at the IMate forum but I guess I'll find a gender changer and just try it
Hi All,
Not likely I'm sure, but does anyone know if it is possible to ready a USB key or Flash Drive with the Tilt2? I have a USB-A to Mini-B Cable, so I tried a bunch of USB key's but no joy. I tried using the ExtUSB port on the phone itself and also tried using the USB/Headphone adapter that came with the phone, but no joy.
Anone know of a way/hack/software that would enable this?
Cheers & Thanks.
P.S. - I did a search for this but came up empty-handed...
Uh, pretty sure you can't do it. The USB port on the TP2 has no power to send to the USB thumb thingy.
Hello.
I bought this USB OTG cable from Amazon :
http://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B00646KVBW/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00.
With it, I can read USB pen drives content without any problem. It is detected as soon as I plug it and I can play MP3 files from the drive for example.
However, I'm unable to use any USB mouse / keyboard or gamepad (ICS is supposed to have added gamepad profile...), although i've seen many people doing it.
I'm using stock ICS 4.0.3 (unrooted, but that shouldn't be a problem...), I've tried to use USB Joystick Center to see if anything was detected, but no luck so far, although Videos show people even using a wireless XBOX360 controller with what seems the exact same configuration...
Did I miss something ? Is it possible that my cable only allows to use usb mass storage but nothing else ?
I hope someone has some experience to share...
Thanks in advance for your help and sorry if this has already been answered.

Bump ? Anyone ?
Do you think I should have the thread moved to the main Q&A forum ?
Thanks
The cable is fine the kernel isn't you will most likely have to change the phones kernel to enable a few other host otg options.
Thanks for your help.
Is there a way to enumerate the modules implemented in the kernel without rooting ?
I really thought stock kernel had the mouse / keyboard hid profiles...
Thanks again.

I tried connecting a USB keyboard using an USB OTG cable, but I didn't get it to work. The other USB port is in use by my external harddrive.
Is there a possibility to make the keyboard work?
Can immagine more people want to add a second USB device to their OUYA...

You'll need to buy a USB HUB (Get a powered one to future proof all your USB needs, you can get a USB 2.0 Hub pretty cheap). This will allow you to hook up at least 3 USB's to the OUYA. The Micro USB won't work for things such as hard drives or HID devices.
In the future, please use the search function before posting as this has been talked about in many other posts.

I have a 4-port hub and it works fine connecting 1 storage and 3 other usb devices
I had this issue where only one harddrive could be used and If you have a harddrive with 2 partitions ouya wont mount it. Luckily I found an app called usbotghelper which does all the above I mentioned plus read and write and ext3 support. I wish it would get submitted to the ouya store so I could use the paid version that will mount on startup.
hello, is there an otg with 2 female outs?
is it possible to connect both mouse and keyboard on xperia?
Mouse and keyboard at the same time? Hmm, probably possible with a USB Hub, about the first question, no idea.
this for example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dual-Micro-...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item3ce0f670f0
just im not sure will it work both at same time..

So, I tried the Valarm cable and it didn't work. XDA have their silly URL restriction, so go to shop dot valarm dot net and search.
It worked on a Nexus 9, so it's not just a bad cable.
I'm going to try their Samsung version and see if it works on the Xperia M.
