Greetings Guys, I bought an USB OTG Cable, which works great on mouse,keyboard and pen drive.
My only ambition is to get it working with a Mouse and Keyboard at the same time, so I can use my mobile as a portable netbook like for work while im outside of home.
I have at the moment an USB OTG Cable, and a low power mini mouse and portable keyboard also an USB Hub with two ports, which can use external power source.
The thing is my note can see each alone, cant see the HUB and the devices connected, even with the external power connected to the hub, what I can do to solve this? thanks
Install USB OTG helper app (needs root), you can try to get some debug info from there.
Check this: www_leicke_eu/en/products/DS40538. I found it while looking for a usb hub that will permit me to charge my note 10.1 when using otg cable with mouse. Just replace _ with dots.

Hey! So i managed my S2 to work with an OTG adapter. Now it recognizes Flash drives, USB mouse and keyboard as well. My problem is though, that i'd want to use both the mouse and the keyboard simultaneously, and later on my tablet as well.
I've got a USB hub which was pretty cheap i guess,
ht tp://itmedia.sk/item-images/other-usb_omega_hub4portSTARpowercapable/it6818_2.jpeg?nc=032
When i connect it to the OTG adapter it lights up, and if there's a flash drive attached to it when i plug it in, the phone recognizes the flashdrive without problem. As soon as i plug in a second flash drive, the light goes off from the HUB and both of the sticks get unrecognized. Also, the mouse nor the keyboard works through the HUB somehow..
I need to buy a specific hub with OTG support or a power hub perhaps? Could anyone help in this? I looked over google and stuff but people seemed to say different stuff at almost every site.. Thanks!!
My Galaxy S has stock 4.0.3 rom with the Syjah S2 4.1.4 Kernel

Oh well that's quite interesting. Then you're saying this piece of video could be fake perhaps?
Since i can post links yet, search for this on youtube: USB HUB Support On GALAXY S2
Check the very first video.
I'm convinced that the every phone can handle only one device connected at the same time.

Well, it surely doesn't seem that way, that's why i was asking, since it's possible.
Weird.... i got sgs2 and 4-port usb hub and when i connect 2 pendrives to hub and hub to phone everything works good (i see UsbDriveA and UsbDriveB). If your hub have dc input you can try connecting power supply to this hub. Maybe this hub isn't compatibile with your phone.
Hi guys,
My galaxy nexus screen has been cracked and it does not respond in 75% of the screen.
I bought a MHL to HDMI convertor on amazon and luckily got the phone UI to show up on my TV
Now since the touchscreen won't work , I need to connect a keyboard or mouse via USB OTG and use it for navigation.
Problem is the Galaxy Nexus has only a single microUSB/MHL port combined into one.
I have no idea how to split the output from the phone to connect to a USB OTG cable and MHL to HDMI adapter simultaneously !
Any help will be appreciated,
The phone is not rooted AFAIK , but may be I'm not sure. It was running Android 4.1 JellyBean when I dropped it on the floor
The phone does show up on my Windows PC and I have copied the photos off it. But I still want to copy contacts and SMS messages.
You tried just using something like Android Screencast from the PC (USB debugging is needed)
Also, some MHL adapters have a USB port in them, for power. Have you tried getting a crude micro USB splitter? Like this one? http://www.replacebase.co.uk/micro-usb-female-to-2-x-micro-usb-male-splitter-2392-p.asp#.URk59JGYOBs
Not guaranteed that would work though. Also, a quick google of what you want brings up some others with the same issue, have you tried to see if any of them have succeeded?

Good news
I had a spare galaxy nexus in the office and I gently took the screws of both the devices , and just swapped the displays so that I could quickly turn on usb debugging , backup essential stuff and also turn on bluetooth.
Thanks to some assembly videos on youtube ! will share some pics soon
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.
Has anyone tried using External storage over a USB hub with Stickmount? I have an unpowered hub and a portable external HDD. I figure this isn't working because of lack of power. I would like to know if anyone has used a combination of unpowered hub/powered drive or powered hub/ unpowered drive, with any level of success.
Strange USB experience
Same thing here.
With the unpowered hub it does not see my 500gb drive.
I've been trying to figure it out.
Some say Stickmount would not auto-mount for them, yet my 32gb flash drive(fat32) auto-mounts at boot and displays a message
reported from Stickmount indicating the successful mount.
I just now unintalled Stickmount and re-booted and it still auto-mounts - but no message now.
I had tried several usb mount apps before and one of them must have stuck. Can't fine it with Titanium. Not sure what it was.
Can anyone tell me how to track it down? It might be useful. Maybe rooting changed something. IDK

I also tried this one without the hub.

It would display two 500gb drives but I could not click the mount button without my mouse and the auto-mount option didn't seem to work.

It's probably the hub/drive combo. I have a unpowered hub that the FTV can see my wireless mouse but not my Toshiba 1TB. But I have powered hub that I can connect and see the Toshiba drive.

I don't think any unpowered usb hub will be able to spin a harddrive at 5900RPM or 7200RPM. Molex or Sata power connectors deliver 12V and USB only delivers 5V. It may work if you have an external SSD, but I'm not so sure.
My unpowered usb hub powers my 32GB Flash Drive, Flirc, Bluetooth dongle for Keyboard and a USB Mouse.
I was able to mount a 1TB, externally powered HDD and navigate the folders.
Tried to play videos in XBMC. There was sound but no picture on every file I tried.
I'm trying to get a USB OTG hub I bought working with the 10.5 tab s (SM-T805). I can't post a link to the hub, but if you search ebay for 'EZI - Universal 7-IN-1 USB Hub Micro SD TF Card Reader for OTG Smart Phone' you should see it, it's a square one that also reads SD cards.
It works fine with my S4 using stickmount pro, but when I plug it into the tab S the power light on the hub comes on, but the second I plug a USB stick (1Gb USB 2.0) in the light goes out, and nothing happens.
Does anyone have any suggestions to get it working, or can they recommend a USB hub that does work with the Tab S?
Thanks

Hi,
No suggestions to make yours work, but here is a product which seems to be working (USB host and charge simultaneously) :

Thanks, I may take a look at that, I've ordered another OTG 'hub' (one with several cables coming off the main plug) that does accept power in, I'm hoping that will work... If not I'll be trying the one you suggest.
