Using Wireless Keyboard and Mouse with 4-port USB HUB - Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories

Hi everybody,
I want to share my experiences regarding wireless Keyboard and Mouse with you, because I have checked some forums and thread but I haven´t found a satisfactory answer for the question "Can I use my Microsoft Arc Keyboard and Arc Touch Mouse to controll my Galaxy Note 10.1 Tab?"
The Answer is yes... although many peoples have said, that there will be a problem with power supply because it´s no high powered USB port using USB OTG adapter.
I have buyed this one on Amazon
"KanaaN USB 1x4 Hub for Samsung Galaxy Tab - 7.7/8.9/10.1 Galaxy Note 10.1"
and its working fine. Mouse and keyboard were detected automatically without any problems.
Maybe my experiences will help some other users who have the same question like me.
P.S. sorry for my bad english but my first language is german

Thanks.......
Just need availability in UK, Amazon is out of stock.

I´m not sure and I can´t test it but I think it should work with the most devices because used power should be similar on all devices.
Wired keyboards should work in any case because they need less power to transmit signals but wireless devices need more power so you can only try out whether it´s working.

This is my setup.. I am not using any powered hub.. I am using the otg connection kit that I bought from amazon for $2 with my Logitech wireless keyboard with built-in mouse pad

Didn't thought of that, I'll try it out tonight.
If you're just taking the USB cable that came with the tablet, changing it's gender and plugging something into the end, it won't work. The tablet would need to have USB Host support which this tablet does not. I believe that the Samsung USB Adapter that converts directly from the Samsung Connector to USB Female will add USB Host support (USB OTG).

All 3.1 are USB host. However, the female to female adapter doesn't do the trick.

I'm sorry, but you're wrong. Honeycomb 3.1 adds SOFTWARE support for USB Host funtionality. The device has to have HARDWARE support as well. This tablet does not. That is the reason that you need a special adapter that provides USB Host HARDWARE funtionality, such as the one I listed above.

I've got my fingers crossed Samsung hasn't dicked up the Bluetooth stack on the Galaxy Tab 10.1/8.9:

Sorry to dig up the old thread but did anyone get this to work? I would love to play emulators on this tablet!

Yes. There's a lot of misinformation in this thread. The tablet DOES have USB Host capability, but it will only enable it when it sees a specific resistor on a particular pin in the dock connector.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155065 for more details.
To get USB Host, there are two approaches:
1) Make your own cable with the correct resistors
2) Purchase the Samsung USB Host adapter which is now available for around $20.
Note that there are some limitations:
1) Xbox360 controllers and PS3 controllers are not standard HID devices and require kernel support not present in stock kernels. Pershoot's kernel has the necessary modules.
2) PS3 controllers must be fully charged before trying to use them. If not they will try to charge their battery from the tab and cause an overcurrent trip, disabling the port until the USB dongle is disconnected.
Also, Samsung didn't mangle the Bluetooth stack like they do with their phones, so wiimotes work.
Not working for me
Not sure if there's a specific USB setting, but I bought the adapted and it works with Chainfire's DSLR Controller no problem. I plugged in the playstation 3 remote and had no luck, nor any detection of the device. Tried running an n64 emulator to try to map the keys, no luck there either.
All of the guides seem to be using a Xoom, I'm on the brand new OTA on the GT10.1
Anyone else?
USB Adapter for Galaxy tab 10.1
Verizon wireless corporate stores have the adapter in stock they will have to order it but last time i checked they had about 4000 in the warehouse, I hope this is helpful for those of you who are patiently waiting.

Which kernel are you running? Did you read my notes in the post prior to yours at all?
So, if i get the official USB adapter my regular wireless keyboard (Logitech Wave) should work seamlessly. Right?
I've just been using the "SixAxis Controller" app from Dancing Pixel (you can find it on the Android Market) to connect my PS3 controller to my tablet over Bluetooth. It's worked great for me (note: I use yongzh's emulators)
Hope that helps with the PS3 issues...I don't really know much about the USB adapter as I don't use it.

Galaxy Note OTG adapter

What are the different items I can connect to my Note via the USB On The Go adapter?
Apart from USB thumb pen drives, do external hard drives, wireless keyboard and mouse, gamepsds work?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
they all should work out of the box, except for hard drives, which will need additional power
I want to try this feature but cannot find an adapter that works. I bought one off eBay but that was no good, the supplier stated it was for the Galaxy Note but didn't work on Gingerbread 2.3+ which was odd as obviously the Note ships with Gingerbread 2.3
I contacted Samsung who said I needed the official Samsung OTG cable but they don't sell to Joe Public .. trawling endless sites to find a supplier came up zero.
So if anyone know of a supplier (UK preferred) of one of these compatible adapter / cables please let me know
Good to see someone started this topic, very useful..
I have the Galaxy note and managed to connect my Keysonic keyboard with builtin mouse with no problems. I have the otg adapter and when I plugged in the wireless adapter the note picked it up as a keyboard and mouse, worked great.

Also the scrolling on the mousepad worked!!

I've just tried my N8s adaptor but no luck I'm afraid. It's connector to the phone is thicker and simply won't fit into the Note.
Nokia (at least the official cable) uses the "correct" Micro USB A for Hostmode.
You have to get Micro USB B for the Note.
(B cable fit in A but not otherwise)

Anyone try a generic USB Gamepad? I have a PS3 copy/generic USB that would be cool to hook up to it for emulator games.
I have the original adapter and it's working great:

USB gamepads should work when ICS is coming. Its in there.
dose this mean that not any OTG cable will work!
most are working but some are cheap quality
and some not well made
i bought several OTG cables from a seller on ebay and all worked

Are you referring to those external hard drives that take power from the USB port?
What about those external hard drives that take on a separate power supply, those that are attached to a power socket? Anyone tried plugging in one of those to a Note?
ok I just buy one and it did work fine with sandisk 64gb.
so it's confirmed that it can read portable drives.
looking forward to owning one.

Tips and Tricks USB OTG Cable for S3 ( USB Connector )

I bought a original Samsung USB OTG Cable for my Samsung Galaxy S3 from online store ( shopsection.com ) , can anyone post tips and tricks about it.
according to my testing, Most of all USB devices can access
1- Amazing cable, it works perfect in Galaxy S II, Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note
2- Connect pendrive 2GB, 4GB, 8Gb, 16GB and access files , documents, songs, movies instant from your S3
3- Like to draw anything without C-Pen stylus? connect USB mouse and draw anything u want as like in computer mouse cursor
4- feeling touch to type on touch screen? connect USB keyboard via OTG cable and start typing SMS and Emails.
5- Does your friends running out of battery ?, connect their mobile with their usb data cable to OTG cable and get charged
6- Also if your friend give access for "Mass storage" access his files from his mobile phone
7- want to take instant printout from your S 3, connect printer USB to OTG cable and give a shot
Article from other websites about OTG cable,
- Remote Access your mobile using Data modem
- support PS3 controller
also if anyone has more tips and tricks for this OTG cable, kindly post it. so thrilled to enjoy its benefits.
I heard also Xbox 360 wired remotes work as well
I have a chinese non-oem OTG cable and works fine with pretty much every USB devide I have (usb memories, keyboard, mouse). I havent tried game remotes or a printer.
Not as amazing as the adapter Samsung will be releasing whenever they can be bothered because it will use the full 11 pins and allow MHL and other accessories simultaneously, but like always they take so long releasing accessories people just get pissed off while they waiting.
Yes Micheal 100% acceptable. only advantage for OTG cable was they launched long back after few months from Galaxy SII. But same cable we are using it for Galaxy Note and Galaxy SIII. But we are really worried for Flip Cover launch for SIII. it took nearly 2 weeks time from SIII mobile launch.
There are plenty of local manufacturers releasing case and covers and even OTG cable. only this guy has the original samsung OTG cable in India shopsection.com/item/USB_Host_OTG_Cable_for_Samsung_Galaxy_S_3 for sale with offer price.

You need MHL cable to connect HDMI to Tv and you can't connect over Mass Storage mode to Tv, Car etc because Samsung in their wisdom decided not to include it, and I know iPhone has things like blood pressure and heart rate monitors you can connect but never heard of it on Android, but it's possible to create a driver to connect pretty much anything with a USB port to Android.
Bought this otg cable for cheaper rate in local market, it worked for 2 months but i could not connect my Sony Pendrive 8GB. any application needed to upgrade on my Note to support 8gb? can your post me the link whr u purchased samsung otg cable, how long u hv been using it? is that original with warranty?

I myself tested most of features and its working as i said. Not sure what is problem with your flashdrive, but mine everything works. format your memory card and test it again.
bought it from https://www.shopsection.com/item/USB_Host_OTG_Cable_for_Samsung_Galaxy_S_3
Its original samsung accessories and you get 6 months warranty. so you can claim if any issues after 2 months. I believe only these guys selling Samsung S3 original products like flip cover and stylus pen in India

The first thing that you need to check is how your thumb drive is formatted. I haven't tried a thumb drive on my SIII yet but on Atrixs I've evaluated they could only interface with FAT thumb drives. NTFS wouldn't work. You should also try a different model of thumb drive, I don't know about the power requirements but it might just be too high.
USB On The Go cable awareness not upto the level. Samsung must advertise about their accessories too as like Nokia. OTG cable is really useful to access files instant. but i wonder why its only suitable for very few models and since Galaxy Y is also has update android firmware.
anybody tried OTG cable other than S III?

I think the external hard drives will only work if you use a usb port multiplier with a external power source. Dont quote me on that though!

USB OTG + hub?

Hi,
Is there some sort of USB hub for OTG?
I've ordered an adapter (micro usb to HDMI) to connect my note to the TV..
But i also wanted to connect my wireless keyboard & mouse.
Tried it with a hub but doesnt work..
Some ideas?
Can't have OTG and MHL work in the same time, choose one or the other.
You could go with DLNA and a wired OTG solution, you would fail.
Your only real option would be be MHL and using Bluetooth to connect keyboard/mouse/peripherals.
There's no dock. You can make your own though, just search the forum.
This thread can be closed down now.
I'll just add that MHL + Bluetooth is my method... although I've now lost MHL on CM10 so my dream combo is bust for the mo!

[Q] Need some info on the Multi-Media dock from those who have it.

I recently bought the multi-media dock, it works fine when plugging it to my smart TV.
Sound output etc works fine via the HDMI slot.
What i can't get to work however are the usb ports. When i plug in a usb stick it won't read it even though i've converted it to Fat32 (same with hdd etc)
Also ive got a wired mouse which i wanted to try on it and it wouldn't work either.
Anybody have any info on what i have to do ?
Thanks in advanced.
Faulty dock? ... tried pen drives? ... not all hdd work. .. you may need external power source for the hard drives. ..try another wired mouse. . Tried wired keyboard?
scribbled from my note 2 (N7100)
I don't have any keyboards. I don't wanna buy one incase it won't work. .
I'll look around for another mouse though
