OTG Cable problem - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989
I am having this problem I can mount everything from my mouse to my usb. I bought an sd card adapter and put my sd card in the adapter, but didn't work. I know the adapter is not broken because I have tried it on my computer and it worked just fine

Ahh that explains it. Search ntfs in the play store and pick one you like. You need an app to mount the ntfs partition.

That's strange.. it most likely is ntfs formatted though. I'd try USB otg manager from the market. Your USB port isn't damaged at all is it?

It's not damaged at all. The weird thing my observations are that there is not enought power getting to the adaptor. When I plug the adaptor in my friends Galaxy nexus running on stock rom the light on the adaptor lights up just fine, but mine just blinks for like a fraction of a second and doesn't connect. I'm also thinking it's the rom or it needs a new kernal ???
You need to check whether the kernel you're on supports otg.

Weird.. I've only seen power with hard drives that use the USB power. Can you post the exact make model of the adapter? Also, do you have a powered USB hub you could try? As in connect hub to phone, plug adapter into hub. That way the adapter most certainly is getting the power needed.
It also might be ROM kernel related.

I have tried everything... Changed the kernal. I literally tried every single kernal. I changed the rom, from jedi mind trick to cm9 stable to koodo. I might just buy a newer one. I tired the usb hub and still not connecting. Thanks for everything btw. I am still looking into this because it's something that I think that needs to be done. Still boggles my mind that it works on the Galaxy Nexus but not that S2

While I haven't encountered any issues with sd adapters on the t989, it sounds like you're having either a power problem or that particular adapter isn't playing nice with your kit. You can rule out power by plugging you usb otg to a powered hub and testing with a high powered device (usb drive for example) and should that work, then trying the adapter. If the adapter works off the hub, it's likely a power problem. If not, the adapter hates you and loathes samsung, and wants you to by a nexus.
While not common, the adapter could be asking for a full 500ma even though it doesn't require it or is having some other isb negotiations headbutt with your gs2.
you can also try popping open a console terminal and checking what's happening under the hood. you should be able to see in the output of dmesg when you connect the adapter and what the kernel is saying about it, which will help point you in the right direction.

Is the MHL cable required for USB OTG?
All that I'm interested in is accessing external storage. Would this work? http://www.amazon.com/female-Micro-...2VMG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1321787319&sr=8-3
From what i understand you need to get that Micro-A version not the B version. I THINK
No it does not work.

That and most cable will work with Galaxy S2 but it won't work with Epic 4G Touch Galaxy S2. Although they are close they are not the same phone.
USB OTG is disabled on the Sprint version of the SGSII. MHL is only to split the USB data from the HDMI stream.
Do you guys know when it'll be enabled? I asked in a development thread for ICS to see if it could be added in the new kernel they are developing for it and got flamed by Jerdog. I would love to have this as I use it a lot on my Xoom. Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
It is a really nice feature I use on the zoom as well. It would be nice to get it enabled. Can anyone verify if the MHL cable works out of the car dock?

USB host doesn't work
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, webDeWo.pl
Have you tried turning off "fast charge"?

Click to collapse 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???

Try it on stock JB, CM10 isn't even alpha. Plus, make sure any custom kernels you plan on trying support it. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

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.

The second one is different - I'n sure it's not the cable problem. Something with my software? I doubt it. Hardware problem? Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
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.

[Q] Upgrade to Official Jelly Bean without USB?
Hi, I was wondering how to update to GB27 without using a USB cable as my micro usb port is broken. I have an sd card, so that is most likely the preferred option for me.
