Hi,
Aside from using the keyboard, mouse, flash drives, game controllers, what else can I connect with my USB OTG?
Sorry, I'm new at this.

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 have a tmobile sgs3 with a stock rom (it was rooted, but latest update seems to have killed that), and after seeing the androidNZ connectivity demo I decided to play around with the usb otg. I am having some problems however. I have tried with 2 external hdds and a thumb drive and all three light up, but do nothing to the phone. I get no pop ups, and when I use astro to check the external usb drives, they all show up empty.
What am I missing?
Thank you!
I do not have that issue, but did you check USB debugging mode in Developer options?
I haven't tried to connect to an external HD, but USB Flash card works fine, as well as USB keyboard & mouse.
I've bought a $2 USB adapter for my phone and I have been able to mount a pendrive or a HD (when it is plugged to an external power source).
But when I try to connect a Mouse, Keyboard, Gamepad, etc., nothing happens. Not even an error message.
I'm using an official Android 4.03 rooted ROM (Claro Argentina).
Does anyone know what could be happening? The problem is my ROM (and it's drivers)? Is my USB otg adapter that is not compatible with mouse and keyboard?
I attach a screenshot of my system

Hi,

But dose have any body got running usb stick, or hard disk drive to work?
The USB Host Bus Feature is available and i can enable this, but i want to buy cable or adapter to use mouse, keyboard or usb drive to use it on the way.
Dose work keyboard or mouse?

They succeed in FROYO SENSE rom but no one do it now. I think it will work but we should use powered usb port to work them.
Hello, can I connect external DVD drive via USB OTG like I do with pendrive? Or should I get one with additional power supply?
I did notice that I can plug in a mouse, keyboard and a pendrive at once to Note 8 and all works. I cannot try as noone has external dvd around.
Hi,
I am trying to connect a USB mouse with my LG V20.
I have to use office system thru VMware (only occasionally) and if i have a mouse that would really help.
I tried 2 different OTG USB to USB C adaptors, but the mouse does not seem to work or load. These OTG adapters load external SD card or flash drive without problems.
I have tried a wired mouse as well as Microsoft wireless mouse.
Is there any setting or an app that is needed?
I can buy a Bluetooth mouse if you think that will work with this phone. but if i dont have to buy an extra mouse that would be great.
thank you
