I don't understand the question? You mean like an OTG cable? If so just plug it in? I don't think anything works without a powered USB hub though. Maybe I just don't understand the question :\
type lsusb into terminal
Cheers, I have it plugged in but there's no indication on the device to if it is switched on, and yes via otg cable. Lsusb is wat I was looking for

It is bt dongle which does not have a light on it even when pugged into the computer, so was looking for a command "lsusb" which would show my usb devices so i know that they are getting read properly by the kindle. So if i had a powered hub, i would still have the same problem. lsusb works great, the reason i am asking is because im in the process of makin a micro usb powered adapter that is small, instead of using a powered hub.

You can use a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. I have a Microsoft 6000 bluetooth keyboard and a Microsoft 5000 bluetooth mouse. They both work fantastic on the A100. I bought a micro HDMI cable and now when I hook everything up to a big screen TV it is awesome.
Update: I'm not saying I use it this way. I'm just saying that you can and it works great. I actually bought the BT mouse and keyboard to use with my laptop.
Why on earth would you do that? If you absolutely need a keyboard for your tablet, they make a special tablet with a built in keyboard. They're called laptops.
And yeah, you can connect keyboard and mice through Bluetooth. Personally I prefer a nice clean design, over an unsightly USB port on the side, but to each their own I guess...

to connect to your computer to manage files.
A better question would be, can you use a USB OTG cable and a modded powered USB hub to connect devices? I know this is the case with my Motorola Atrix.

On the Atrix you have to mod a USB Hub to provide +5VDC somehow. I'm not sure of the specifics.

Double post I know, but here's the related Atrix thread. It would appear that the Atrix may have a USB Host port, this may not work on the Iconia A100 sadly...

It's been a while since I've been on xda. I don't know the latest news, but are the otg cables now working for the kf? If so, what works? Can I hook up a keyboard or a Bluetooth usb?
USB otg works. No Bluetooth otg. You can use a keyboard or mouse without a hub if they are not USB 2.0. If you want to use multiple devices or USB 2.0 devices then you need a powered hub. Mice, keyboards, some flash drives, and Xbox 360 controllers are working right now.

Great! Thanks. What do I need to install for that too work. I'm in the process of choosing a ROM but I was going to wait until that reply.
USB otg works on any ROM based on hashcode's 3.x kernel. Most ROMs will mention whether or not they use hashcode's kernel in their OP.

Just bought a usb otg cable but the results are a bit of a let down:
- The main purpose of using it to play nova using ps3 command worked flawlessly, but the experience with storage hasn't been the best.
- Some Kingston stick work at first try while another Kingston stick doesn't work at all and the 1T wd passport drive isn't recognized (even with ntfs software in the phone)
What do you think? Can it be from the cable? Is it possible that is a matter of power drainage?

well, for harddrives, they NEED to be powered externally... if that helps.

make sure that your sticks and drives are in FAT32 otherwise some procedure have to be made, google up how to do it.
Me too, was disappointed with the OTG and the ability to use Generic Game Controller as ordered to play Dead Trigger, luckily it was just a $2 cable...
Almost everything could be set but the 'button to move the player' which should be set to the left analogue control, this game can't do it.
The problem is that the hard drive is USB charged. Can I add extra juice to the usb otg by using a splitter and add a charger to it?

you could try. do you have a powered USB hub? the S3 can't supply enough power to spin up a harddrive.
Hey:
Is anyone us a multi-port usb hub with their OTG cable?
I tried to use a normal otg cable that is micro USB to USB 2.0. It never detects the USB drive and I can't seem to mount the drive either. USB debugging is enabled in the developer settings. Any tips to get this to work?
Thanks!

Mine works only when in recovery and after I mount it.

Any chance that this will be fixed in the next nightlies? It seems like quite a few people have problem with USB OTG.

I have one of those OTG cables from when I had another device that could use it, never considered trying it on my H1 with a thumb drive as external storage.
Can anyone confirm that the HTC ONE (M7) will charge via the OTG a cable while using SD function. If someone has successfully done that which cable was used.
Would like to use my SD while keeping the phone charged.

Yep, that's it. Once plugged in pull down your notifications and tap the usb and change your settings.
Ok. Done. Tv still doesn't recognize, but does recognize usb stick, btw, I bought a sd reader/writer usb adapter it doesn't recognize. Im trying to watch movies I have downloaded to my phone, on my tv. TV is brand new.

Have you tried using wifi-direct?That may be your only option short of screen mirroring via wifi or dongle.
How do I wifi direct? My tv is a smart tv. Run the wifi on my tv and let phone recognize it?
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I dont think its as easy as plugging a usb stick in the tv. My tv reads the usb stick easily. It wont do the same for my phone. Always a complication when u think or should be easy
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You might look at AllCast.
The issue is probably the drivers then. The TV likely has a basic USB driver in it so the USB stick will work, but probably won't allow the phones drivers to install on the TV. So like what was mentioned, if you can't wifi direct or screen mirror (must have Samsung TV for that to be on the TV) you will likely need a Samsung Allcast/Allshare hub. Which in my mind isn't worth it when you can just move them over to a USB stick and watch them from there.
Theres not a rom or driver or sumthn to fix it?

Where did you get your movies from that you can't access on your smart tv? You should be able to stream them from wherever/whatever app you got them from...unless you got them illegally
But nevertheless, AllCast mentioned above is an option, but I think the better option is to get a TV video adapter for your phone? Why not get an HDMI/MHL cable? Duh! They're cheap, like 10 bucks off ebay. Make sure you have the 10/11-pin adapter, not the 5-pin, in regards of the Note 3.
If screen mirroring isn't your savvy and you want the full HD experience of accessing your videos directly thru usb, there is a way to mount your phone as a usb mass storage rather than MTP, but Samsung (and others) don't allow that capability in their OS's (probably to try to get you to use their stupid Kies software). To work around this you'll need root and a terminal emulator. In terminal enter su and type "setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage". THIS MIGHT REALLY MESS UP YOUR USB & ADB CONFIGURATION. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! Really it's not a big deal tho, to revert back use "setprop persist.sys.usb.config mtp,adb" and reboot like 3 times until it finally fixes itself.
Hope this helps!

What's the best format of a video to be played on a TV? I haven't tried this yet. My videos are currently on MP4 format. Thanks!
The videos are playable on anything. So what next? I did the terminal emulator....verbatim. .. nothing happened. My phone didnt slap me in the face or gouge my eyes. However, I didnt plug it into the tv yet. Yes I have allshare.

Thats a big ol negatory big rap. Terminal thingy is a no go. Thanx tho. And duh! I could just push the stuff to my usb and play it. But! I paid for top of the line (note3). It should wipe my a$$. And I have no doubt it will.....one day
