Hi,
I bought a cheap USB OTG cable (£2), which was supposed to work on the Galaxy Nexus, but doesn't seem to.
I will probably buy another one anyway (any recommendations which one I should buy, and where), but I just wondered if there was anyway I could modify the one I have to work with a USB drive?
Cheers

ebay seller iTrimming sells a working OTG host cable for GNex.

Try downloading stick mount from the market. Should work then.

Sorry, should have said before. I have tried StickMount - no go! The stick doesn't even light up when connected.
And I would prefer a UK seller! Thanks though!!
Ordered one from iTrimming!
Hopefully should work ok!
I bought a Galaxy s3 USB OTG cable (Female USB A to Micro USB Male) and it does not recognize anything that I plug into it. Does anyone know if the USB Host functionality has been removed from the Sprint version of this phone? I want to know before I just assume that it's a defective cable.
I used USB OTG for everything on both Stock and Cyanogenmod. I think you have a defective cable. One of the main features is actually OTG support.
I think your best bet is getting this cable since it's $0.67 with free shipping and it pretty much works for everyone.
Just played a game with Xbox controller and OTG and it was really cool. Hopefully you'll be able to share my experience.

Are you using a Sprint Galaxy S3? I ask because it seemed that the OTG feature was disabled in the Galaxy S2, so I wasn't sure if Sprint would also disable it in the Galaxy S3. From my searching on-line, it seems that those using the T-Mobile and AT&T Galaxy S3 variants are able to connect with USB OTG. For 68 cents, I might as well try ordering another one.

Yeah, Sprint. It worked on stock and on custom ROMs. I use the exact same cable and it works 100%.
Did they have a reason to disable it on the SGS2? I'm wondering why on earth they'd do that.

Not sure why they disabled it because it seems pretty illogical to do that. I ordered the cable, and hopefully in a month I'll be able to see if it ends up working. I'm hoping that it's a problem with the cable and not a problem with my phone.
I was able to get FAT32 thumb drives and my Canon camera to work. USB keyboards and mice did not. NTFS drives did not work either, even though I used a mounting app that makes it work on my tablet.
Hi all! I would like to buy a USB OTG(on the go) cable for my mobile. I tried with the OTG Cables available in stores. But they ain't working. I found out that our mobile do not support OTG. The male part of cable has one pin extra compared to the original USB cable. So I just wanted to know if we could but it online or from the store. And yes, I live in India ; Mumbai. I had an idea of buying a female to female cable and connecting one side to USB and other with USB cable to phone. Thanks in advance. :thumbup::thumbup:

i read the same article, the article explained how to use your old charger cable as otg cable or manually creating an otg cable at home.
i checked and verified by opening my own otg cable and found the same circuit as the circuit shown in that image.
i was wondering if the phone is not sending any power to the cable/pen drive.

dude, i guess you are taking about this article tech.firstpost.com/news-analysis/how-to-make-your-own-usb-otg-cable-for-an-android-smartphone-29503.html
i read this complete article and checked my own otg, i found it as shown in the image/article mentioned by you.
i believe if one want to short the pins, it can be done at phone's external plug end.
Please help me to start with the otg development.
i will be thankful to you
as it is a kernel's thing as per my research till now.
and i am sorry about your grand may its soul rest in peace.:crying:
Hello guys,
Is there any of you try to connect external disk (microsd) over OTG?
Technic service is replying our question (LG Turkey) that this model was supporting OTG.
But some of my friends tried some kind of OEM OTG cables (from local shops) but not worked with our G.
For example same cable worked with galaxy S3.
Can we use OTG function in this device? if yes, how? (direct, root, custom rom...) and which cable? (trademark, link...)
Is there any last user experience with this issue?
Thanks allready...
No, you can't use OTG on OG. The only way (but not guaranteed) is to convert your OG to Nexus 4 and then install kernel with OTG support, but it's very risky and never confirmed if works.

Check this:
http://www.gadgets4geeks.com.au/product/micro-usb-to-usb-otg-cable-adapter-lg-optimus-g
And quoted from this:
http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_optimus_g-review-835p9.php
"The USB port has yet another feature - it enables USB On-The-Go. You'll need an adapter for that too (again, there isn't one in the box) but this one is fairly straight forward - you plug it into the Optimus G and plug a standard USB cable on the other end."

It was said long time ago, that this review is lying. OTG doesn't work on OG, it's confirmed by many users.
And cable strictly for OG is just a fake cause every device has the same micro-USB ports so every cable would work with every device only if they have OTG support.

Then it is.
Since the new model tablet does not have the 30-pin charging port, does anyone know if they are developing a mini USB charging adapter that can accommodate a full size USB pen drive, stick, etc...
With the understanding this tablet is new and not very many people have it yet, I thought I would put that question out there, thoughts?

Now all you need is for the tablet to have OTG support. For some reason this is always a big question mark.
I have a USB OTG cable and have used it often with my Galaxy Nexus, but depending on the ROM I had to install an app (that needs root - by chainfire I believe) for it to work. So I wouldn't be too surprised if USB OTG didn't work out of the box.

Maybe this works better on non-AOSP devices. As far as I know, Samsung also has their own Bluetooth drivers too, for example. Maybe this is a similar situation, I don't really know. I've never owned a non-Nexus device, I'm sure someone else with more experience with Samsung devices can clarify this for us.
I tested USB storage and it's working .. but maybe selective
Tried 5 sticks .. 4 worked except a Sony thumb drive gave USB is blank and it's led only blinked for a second.
Also noticed that processor got hot quickly.. as it opened the file explorer or maybe it's the media server and indexing
I've used the otg cable with a mouse successfully

Hi.
Has anyone tried external hard drives, do you recognize?
Thank you!
i've tried 4 different portable hd's from 320 to 1.5TB. it recongizes the device and spins them up, but they're all ntfs. i can't even get paragon to mount them. i also tried my hacked powered usb otg (made it for rooting the chromecast) and still the same results. if we can get a kernel with ntfs support it should work fine.

Hello there,
I have another question regarding these OTG cable/hub solutions.. are there any ways to connect an USB device and simultaneously charge your tablet?
like for example an usb game-controller and be able to play games while charging (or watching movies from a (compatible) hard disc while charging)
Thanks for any answers!
