USB Host OTG Cable Adapter

Got one of these yesterday, quick delivery and does what it says on the tin: link

i have this and is working fine also. It's working even with an optical mouse...cool!

I had a bit of a hard time finding one in the US. I just ordered a micro usb cable and a female to female connector. I think it was under $2(US) total.

has anyone tried connecting external 500 gig hard drive to the galaxy s 2?

I have the adapter cable but does not work for GS2 but on the HTC HD2 its work.
Why does not work, does not show me any sign that the cable connected. Does it have to be some special cable?

I have, it doesn't work unless you have a external power supply for the hard drive. the phone can't supply enough power to it.

Micro USB OTG Host Adapter

If anyone is looking for a cheap micro usb otg host adapter to use to attach usb devices (thanks to DooMLord here), I ordered these from DealExtreme a few weeks ago and they just came in. Worked like a charm to mount a usb stick on my Arc. $2.20 with free shipping, no taxes as they marked it as a gift:

difference between DATA Cable and OTG cable

Is OTG cable available for NOVO 7 Paladin?

Yeah, found that one too. With that prize, you could purchase a lot of them. In hardware shops, they may cost tens of euros.

Charge and connect USB controller

So ICS supports USB gamepads/mice/keyboards which is awesome. The only problem is that the Galaxy Nexus only has one available USB port.
How can I connect a USB device to the gnex and charge it simultaneously?

Powered USB hub.

I see how that could work, however I want as little bulk as possible, and a USB hub would add a lot of clutter.
That got me thinking though.
Would there be any problem with charging and playing using this diagram?

It isn't going to work, since the usb port on a nexus only can do one thing at a time: charging/being a slave (transferring files from a pc) or act as a host (for a keyboard/mouse/gamecontroller). This will not work together until a kernel dev finds/creates a workaround.

Usb OTG supports accessory/charge mode, but the cable has to have the correct id for the usb chip to allow it. I don't think any cables have this enabled as of yet.

This cable won't suffice?
http://www.amazon.com/T-Flash-Adapt..._1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1337812370&sr=1-1
If not, what has to be done to enable this?
Also, does this mean the powered USB hub won't work either?

I have a feeling that even if charging works (and I think it should) it will only charge at 500mA as I doubt OTG will work properly if you enable Fast USB charge. At the very least your battery won't die out quickly I guess, depending on the game's requirements hardware wise.

I'll try it out tonight if I can find my damn OTG cable.

Confirmation: Does not work.
Found my cable, and connected the phone to a powered usb hub. It actually would not charge OR read a thumb drive with stick mount. Both worked seperately, but the OTG is not a multitasker. Sorry.

Review HooToo® HT-UH009 USB 3.0 Hub 10-Port (12V/4A Power Adapter

HooToo® HT-UH009 USB 3.0 Hub 10-Port (12V/4A Power Adapter, Latest VIA VL812 Chipset, 3.3 feet USB 3.0 Cable), Backward Compatible with USB 2.0 and Supporting Windows / Mac / Linux OS (Electronics) Get it HERE
I have the 7 port one also that Hoo Too provided me for review also. (HERE) This one works much better for me because I have so many devices. The only downside on this one is that it feels a little cheaper built than the 7 port. But the difference is minuscule.
The hub is compatible with many operating systems, but I tested it on my Windows 7 Ultimate 32 Bit operating system on my HP laptop. The UBS ports allow you to add any type of accessory that needs a USB port. You can add in a printer, scanner, external hard drive or whatever accessory you may need. No drivers are required, so set up is easy.
This is a great way to add additional ports to any computer or laptop. I have so many devices connected to my computer and I always need another USB port to plug in more devices or charge them! This product gave me everything I need.
I like that it is small and lightweight also. Can be hidden easily if need be. No drives disconnected when I used this. I had it attached to my phone, 2 external HDDs, 3 flash drives and also had it charging my android phone and an additional external battery. I was transferring files for a few hours to test it thoroughly. It handled everything I needed. The charging rate was comparable to my OEM wall chargers.
Overall this is a great product that comes in very handy if you have may devices. So if you need that capability, this is for you!
HERE is the other one I reviewed also. HooToo® HT-UH010 7-Port USB 3.0 HUB with 2 Smart Charging Port for iPad/iPhone/SAMSUNG/HTC Smartphone/Tablet (12V/5A Power Adapter(8ft), 3.3ft USB 3.0 Cable, Latest VIA VL812 Chipset) :good:

Win7 can't detecte Epic, Can't access internal drive, but it charge

Get 4 Samsung Epic 4G Touch here. 2 of them can detect by Win7, Charge, access internal memory, able to flash in Download mode. USB debug on. etc.
And another 2, they take Charge the battery. Win7 can't detect it. Can't flash in Download mode. Can't access internal memory from PC. I'm sure Driver installed correctly. If not, why anther 2 phone detected.
I have tried different USB cable. Some detect and sometime do. Is it USB connecter or USB cable inside the phone get bad?
I clear up usb connecter and maybe I'll heat gun to heat up the usb connector and usb chip and let you guy know.

This question probable won't be answered because You're in the wrong category.
I suppose I can give you my 2 cents. I have had two of these phones and on both the port on the phone has gone bad.

I'm sure it's not the driver Ryan.. It's bad USB port... most hardware related.
Anyone have advice or guide of easy way to change USB port without soldering??

Sounds like a bad charging port.
You can't really change the charging port without soldering. If you don't have the ability to change it yourself i'd suggest looking for a repair service, there are some on ebay.
Good luck!
