DIY OTG USB Host Cable (Keyboard and Mouse)

Few of these threads have been made, but not sure if anyone has shown OTG USB host cable work with USB dongle supporting a bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
I followed this scheme to connect the 4th pin ID to the 5th pin ground. The rest was very simple.

Let me know if you have any questions

I think there was a thread related to this matter already : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1070573&highlight=otg

That thread doesn't use a bluetooth dongle. Instead, it uses the built in bluetooth feature of the phone to connect to a bluetooth keyboard and mouse without using the OTG host usb. That's why I wanted to try it this way and see if it worked.

OTG cable
If i use OTG cable for my NOVO 7 paladin(tablet with Android Version 4.0.1) or Xperia ARC(Android version 2.3.4), can it support to my external USB device(like printer)?

Why don't you want to use the built in BT? Surely then you can output to a big screen or charge the phone.

mouse and keyboard also not detected by XPERIA ARC.

I don't have OTG cable?
Is OTG cable is required?

1) For NOVO 7 Paladin : USB HOST MODE is ACTIVE
:Keyboard, mouse not detected
2) For XPERIA ARC : USB HOST MODE not available or not Active
:Keyboard, mouse not detected

[Q] USB OTG Ideas

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.

Second USB device

I tried connecting a USB keyboard using an USB OTG cable, but I didn't get it to work. The other USB port is in use by my external harddrive.
Is there a possibility to make the keyboard work?
Can immagine more people want to add a second USB device to their OUYA...

You'll need to buy a USB HUB (Get a powered one to future proof all your USB needs, you can get a USB 2.0 Hub pretty cheap). This will allow you to hook up at least 3 USB's to the OUYA. The Micro USB won't work for things such as hard drives or HID devices.
In the future, please use the search function before posting as this has been talked about in many other posts.

I have a 4-port hub and it works fine connecting 1 storage and 3 other usb devices

I had this issue where only one harddrive could be used and If you have a harddrive with 2 partitions ouya wont mount it. Luckily I found an app called usbotghelper which does all the above I mentioned plus read and write and ext3 support. I wish it would get submitted to the ouya store so I could use the paid version that will mount on startup.

Need help with connecting a USB mouse

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

How to switch on TV stick 4k without USB power??

I am always reading to use a usb OTG to navigate in TWRP but if I use an OTG adapter I can't use the usb port for powering the stick? How is this going to work?!

There is a splitter for that, search on Amazon
Amazon.com
Or you can also make it yourself just need some soldering skills and few components
If you want to use more than one device (like USB and keyboard and mouse) then you will need a usb hub also.
