OTG-For what purpose do you use it in Xperia s? - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

USB On The Go is a feature that makes me ignore the non availability of sd card port.
I use it for playing videos that may fill my device internal memory
I wanted to know can it be used for any other purpose
I have seen videos explaining the connection of a camera in SGS 2 via OTG

i use OTG usb for:
web browers = hdmi to TV + hub +mouse +keyboard
very pleasant experience !
media player ->power hub +200gb (175 available )external hard drive
is seems to not play DTS sound why?
but is perfect

I too use OTG for mouse and keyboard as well, recently I used it to shoot video and dump the videos to a USB flash drive so that I could continue shooting.
Thanks.

made a dual partitions in usb flashdisk, put some hd movie/video. watch it from my tv.

I use it to use my USB mouse and keyboard, read my 32gb sd card... My 1tb HDD, link to my tv / monitor / other monitors, good as a media box and it tries to make the toast!!

i havent try it though. my 16 gB UFD works fine w/o external power.

Ok, So i'm using my Nokia N8 USB OTG cable that came with my Nokia, it short and works perfectly with my Xperia S. It reads all the USB Memory cards i've connect as well as my Logitech Wireless Mouse. I've also connected it to my Belkin Mini 4 Port powered hub and then connected my WD 500GB HDD. Just to plug in the HDD obviously i'm going to be short on power. What I want is a Y type cable, that will do USB OTG and Charge my phone and also provide additional power to my HDD to power it. Anyone seen something like this ?

u already have a powered hub. try an input power (eg charger) to ur hub.
if u're using Y cable u dont need the hub, just plug the one male (the one with two cable) to the USB otg cable then the other one male (the single cable, named the power cable) to PC or a charger.

You use that one with the Galaxy Nexus?
Looks like it has a MicroUSB-A plug, which shouldn't fit into the Galaxy Nexus's MicroUSB-B port.

No, what it is is a special USB OTG adapter that has three connectors, a micro USB plug to plug into the host device, a USB socket to plug in the peripheral device, and a micro USB socket to plug in a charger. It also supplies a special resistance on the ID pin to the host device to let it know that a charger is connected so the host does not supply a voltage on the VBUS. Without this special adapter with the ID pin resistance, the host will supply a voltage to power the peripheral which will not work with the charger on the VBUS. Thus this special adapter is needed. This is defined in the USB OTG and Battery Charging specs, but so far it doesn't seem like anyone is manufacturing such a thing.

[Q] Genuine doubt on OTG.(w/o Hub).

Hi,
I know that in order for the original kindle fire to recognize OTG. devices, the following must be available:-
1. Rooted kindle fire.
2. ROM with Hashcode's 3.0 kernel .
3. microUSB. to USB. OTG. cable.
4. Powered USB. HUB.
Since the kindle doesn't give out enough power to drive flash drives/keyboards etc., we resort to the powered HUB. Well, recently I stumbled upon a "Micro USB Male To USB Female Host OTG Cable + Micro USB Adapter Y Splitter". I was hoping if we could connect the Kindle's charger to the microUSB port in the above mentioned cable and use the provided Female USB. OTG. cable to connect a peripheral like flash drive..
My doubt is this. Will connecting the kindle's charger be enough to drive a flash drive/keyboard? Or will it simply just charge the kindle and not give power to the OTG. device?
A link to the cable cannot be given as i'm a new user..An ebay search by copy pasting the name of the cable is enough.
I run a kindle fire with gedeROM ICS. flashed.
SORRY IF THIS IS A NOOB/STUPID QUESTION! Thanks!

So, just to clarify, if the kindle is connected with the original amazon charger, it can detect otg. devices connected to it, yea? (assuming we have 3.0 kernel). Ill try to post pics of the cable asap..It may help people.
If this works a 100%, then this is really an even cheaper alternative to buying a powered usb. hub..Just buy the $6 cable and you're ready to run otg devices! Pretty neat.
Thanks for the reply!

Why would you wanna plug it in when you're trying to connect it to a computer? Cant u just directly connect the K.F to the computer using a USB. to microUSB. cable? I thought that you needed the extra power from the wall charger only to drive peripherals connected TO the kindle..

That's a shame. Might need to pick myself up a cheap laptop (maybe one of these lenovo flexs') or a wireless hard drive, now in theory the wireless hard drives are powered so, if it is a voltage problem it might work without activating the wireless function.
Just weird that it would work fine on my nexus 5 but not on the tablet. No solid hdd light when plugged into the gpad.

Have you tried it with a powered USB hub? Seems like that would address the power issue.

Hi all, I'm looking for an OTG adapter for my htc 10, until now i'm using the adapter in attachements photos with my htc one S and with my Z3 Tablet compact, so I bought a standard microUSB to type C adapter by Aukey, but unfortunately it's not compatible with OTG function. I would like to continue using my current OTG, because it's very compact and I can keep it permanently in my micro drive stick, have you any suggestion regarding a microUSB to type C adapter that support OTG?
This one is a 4-port USB-C OTG hub. Works beautifully with my HTC 10 and Pixel C. http://amzn.to/2cHaXoc

Yes, it does. You have to go to the Storage Menu and Enable OTG though.
OTG should work in principle, however propably only with a cable from Oneplus. It does not work with a OTG cable from Anker (just tested it).
Hmm, so this is strange. I have a Sandisk OTG enabled USB drive that I just connected to the OP2 using the OnePlus Micro-USB to Type C adapter. Worked perfectly to backup all my stuff from the old phone. I unplugged here and connected it as is to the OnePlus 3 and it doesn't work. Reconnecting to the OP2 works fine, all of the data shows up on PC also, but just won't show up on the OP3. Very strange, still trying to figure this out.

i purchased this Dash Micro G3 Type-C: Mini MicroSD Card Reader and it works great so far, i am mainly using it as a back up, it comes with a cool little keychain so i have when i need it, pretty compact too, does seem kinda slow, its only transfering at 15MB/s i know the sd card is way faster than that, but it works.

OTG should work in principle, however propably only with a cable from Oneplus. It does not work with a OTG cable from Anker (just tested it).

Well, for me the following Anker product works like charm:

I tried it again and you're right... My cable has a extreme tight fit at the connector so I was a bit afraid to push it in with full force. Now I did and it moved in a tiny bit more.
Now it is working fine. So thanks @MagDag for your reply and I can now confirm that the Anker cable works fine too.
Hah indeed - it's really tight fit... I also was very careful in the beginning because I don't wanted to destroy my phone.

Hmm, so this is strange. I have a Sandisk OTG enabled USB drive that I just connected to the OP2 using the OnePlus Micro-USB to Type C adapter. Worked perfectly to backup all my stuff from the old phone. I unplugged here and connected it as is to the OnePlus 3 and it doesn't work. Reconnecting to the OP2 works fine, all of the data shows up on PC also, but just won't show up on the OP3. Very strange, still trying to figure this out.

Same here. Using OnePlus USB C to micro USB adapter and Sandisk OTG USB drive. It does not seem to detect the OTG drive

Sadly this is not available at Amazon India
i doubt, that the phone actually recognizes the cable itself... however it will depend on how much juice the target device needs vs what the phone provides...

The OnePlus 2 type-C to micro-USB adapter is a non-standard thing. It was required for the OP2 because the OP2 type C USB is broken.
Try a generic adapter. That's the real test. Generic adapters didn't work on the OP2.
Hmm, so on the OnePlus forums, this seems to be the consensus ... The OnePlus Adapter was for the non-standard Type C on the OP2 and will only allow charging on the OP3, but not OTG. So far, third party standards compatible adapters seem to be working fine. I just ordered the Xiaomi Type C adapter and should get it in a week. Will post here again if it works.

I bought this one from Skiva https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0140YRZDQ/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
And use it with a cruze usb 3, the only drawback is that is taking forever to see some mp4 videos recorded from a gopro that are saved in the USB
I bought this and it works perfectly: http://www.ebay.com/itm/351729709215?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
I can confirm the Xiaomi Type C Micro USB adapter does NOT work for OTG. Yes, I had OTG enabled, no go!
I'm not seeing an option to enable usb otg in settings/storage. I'm on Oxygen 3.1.3. Am I just missing it? Do I need to unlock developer options first?

Nvm. Found it in the 3 dot menu. Ravpower usb otg works.

Is there any cable which would allow you to charge and read an external flash drive? Never tried OTG before, so I don't know if this is even possible.
