Guys, I bought a USB OTG cable today. Nothing special, but my GNexus doesn't want to work with me. No matter what I connect - USB mouse, keyboard, flash drive [w/ StickMount by Chainfire] - Nexus doesn't recognize it. Tried wiping and reflashing my ROM (CM10, today's nightly) but it doesn't help. I use Air Kernel, but flashing franco.kernel or using the stock one doesn't work too. It looks like there's no power in Nexus' micro socket. However, when I connect a USB hub with external power source Nexus starts charging. Any ideas?
Best,

Have you tried turning off "fast charge"?

You say that when you connect the Nexus to a powered USB hub, it starts to charge. Does that mean you have the USB-OTG cable hooked to the Nexus, then some sort of gender changing adapter to hook it to the USB hub? What happens if you plug the flash drive into the USB hub while the Nexus is "charging"? Does the Nexus continue to charge and you get access to the flash drive???

I just have a USB hub with a socket for power adaptor - it's nothing special. However, when and I connect anything to my hub while Nexus is "charging" it still doesn't recognize this device. I'm outta ideas.

Darn. I was hoping you had somehow magically discovered that the phone can charge itself while still being in USB Host Mode. That'd be absolutely fantastic!
Try it on stock JB, CM10 isn't even alpha. Plus, make sure any custom kernels you plan on trying support it.

I've tried CM9 stable a few moments ago - doesn't work.
Your cable is probably defective. I just bought mine, works great, but in reading reviews many people reported defective cables.

Just bought the second one - still doesn't work. Why?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1092493.html
Check out that link to see a potential cable problem.
The roms [cm9] and kernel [stock] should work for you.
Is the cable you are buying specifically stating usb otg on the package? If not, buying 2 cables from the same store of the same type won't change anything.
This is what works for mr.

The second one is different - I'n sure it's not the cable problem. Something with my software? I doubt it. Hardware problem?

I seem to get quite a bit of opposition to this but as you'll see there are links included..one from Samsung and if you look in the manual that came with phone, it also talks about the OEM chargers. Try disabling NFC then try yo charge. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1841584

Turning NFC off doesn't help. USB host still does not work.

Do you know someone else with a Galaxy Nexus, to test the cables and ensure they do actually work?
I've tried them on HTC One X - they DO work :/

It was suggested 2x in the thread to go completely stock [rom + kernel].
You stated trying CM10 and CM 9, as well as stock kernel, but you never say if you tested stock/stock.
Mkay, I'll try the stock JB tomorrow.

Tried the stock Jelly Bean. Doesn't work :/

Accidentally thanked you.
What I'm trying to say is, AFAIK stock kernel doesn't support OTG. So try going stock then flashing a kernel.

Hopefully you guys can give me some insight here. I've gone through 5 mini usb cables and 1 car charger in the last few weeks. They'll work perfectly for charging my phone and then just stop out of the blue and never work again. I've tried different brands and it's happening with all of them. Could it be the phone?

Are you using any fast charge kernel?
Swype'ed on my CM10 Galaxy Nexus
Your phone is just drawing power, so it's unlikely that your phone smoked your charger.
Check your wall.
No, I haven't flashed any kernels and it's happened with 3 different ROMs

That was my initial thought too but it just seems strange for so many of these things to just break all at the same time s

I already have one but whilst it works fine with my Nexus 7 it doesn't work with my Galaxy S3, when I plug it in and also my Samsung portable HDD and stickmount pro it appears to recognise the HDD but i cant view my files so I'm thinking it must be a case of the OTG cable isn't compatible with the Galaxy S3, so I'm wondering if you folks can recommend one for me that works fine.
Thanks

EDIT
The OTG cable works now with my Galaxy S3, just out of curiosity I flashed Siyah kernel again as I remember reading something about ntfs, plugged the HDD in, clicked on stickmount and low and behold I can see all my music, photos, files, etc so I'm delighted the cheap otg cable I bought on Amazon works with both my Galaxy S3 and Nexus 7

Dear friends
Is is possible to charge the device while connected to PC (USB)?
Yes, it is possible.

But very slow..!
Check system and BIOS settings. My motherboard actually supports tablet level charging, so long as I enable it on the BIOS. (Called fast charging, but it's 2.1 amp over usb)

I believe our notes would need a USB 3.0 port like the note 3 or am I wrong?

On mine, it has the charging bolt AND the X. I'm not sure what that means.

Samsung, what that means?
Sent from my SM-P600 using Tapatalk
The Charging bolt combined with the red X means it is not a compatible charger. Basically, it means that it will charge the tablet, but VERY slowly. Almost every charger I have thrown at it has worked. The only thing to generate this on the 2014 edition is the USB 3.0 ports on my laptop (also USB 2.0 ports on my desktop as well). I will check and see if I have any settings in the BIOS that will enable some sort of rapid charging. Will report back with anything I find.
Thx waiting your reply

Sorry it took so long to reply, work as been kicking my ass.
I did check the BIOS on my laptop (Toshiba Qosmio X875 purchased in 3/2013) and there are no USB chare setting other than Sleep and Charge (let's the laptop charge USB devices while the laptop is in sleep mode). No rapid charging setting were in the BIOS. Maybe in newer laptops. basically it means that you will need to connect it to a charger or USB port that has a power output of 2,000mA or 2.0A.
Thanks

Here guys I've broken my USB port for sure. I had it charging when it slipped off the table and DDT'd on the charger cord. I knew it was broken before I picked it up. Now I'm stuck using a wireless charger, which is cool, but doesn't charge as fast and now I have no way of connecting it to the computer. Has anyone had any luck repairing their's or a company that will do it besides Asus. Maybe a part?

I don't know about where you can get it repaired but in the meantime use airdroid to file transfer wirelessly to your computer
