[Q] micro usb problems - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I have two micro usbs they both cant transfer files
First one- Bought from amazon only chargers, when plugged in says usb not recognized.
Second- From my friends old HTC shift (forgot which one)- shows up my internal and external sd but wont let me transfer files.
I installed the drivers correctly. I tested this on windows 8 and windows 7 on the same laptop. Any suggestions will be appreciated thanks
Edit: it once worked before with the stock usb cable
Also have just tried checking and unchecking debugging. still not able to transfer.

Try my drivers in Sig or naked drivers do a search

did that already. Did not work

Only certain ones work. The 6$ one on Amazon made by mediabridge works great if not for being bulky. Its won't break like the Samsung one. The factory Samsung one is almost as bad as the apple charger in terms of reliability.
Are you sure you did a complete wipe and reinstall of drivers ?

SOLVED. I installed kies then the official i747 drivers from samsung download center and one port works to transfer files. Any idea how to fix this issue? i could transfer perfectly with only one port on my comp wierd.. i can use usbs perfectly though on any ports

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.

I bought a nokia USB OTG cable, and it is not working, at the moment
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...

I'm having the same problem. I have tried different USB cords and slots. It picks up on a friends computer though. On mine it doesn't even have a yellow exclamation. I can't even find the device in the control panel to uninstall it so I can reinstall a fresh driver. Tried drivers from Samsung website as well as PDA net app

download MTP drivers, update to windows media player 11, and make sure your entire OS is up to date.
if none of that works then you have a pretty big issue. And my recommendation would be to upgrade to Windows 7. Honestly, there isn't much reason not to.

[Q] Galaxy Ace2 I8160 OTG

Hi,
Sometime some simple things make you crazy, I didnt get the answer for "How to use or enable the OTG Cable with I8160". ?
I have absolutely no experiance of making or installing kernel/roms. Please let me know that will I be able to use a simple USB Flashdisk with my I8160 or not.
If not then what could be the reason.
If yes then please guide me for this.
I8160 do not support USB OTG. This was answered hundreds of time on many threads here. Use search button next time.

Did you managed to connect USB storage or mouse thru USB port in i8160? I did not found anyone who managed to do that. If yes, then it is awesome.
I have OTG cable and my i8160 is not responsing after connecting mouse, keyboard or pendrive. Even with "USB OTG Helper" app. Tried to power connected devices via USB HUB, but it did not helped.
The reason why it is not working ... its because i8160 do not give any power required to power connected devices. Ace 2 cannot work in host mode for USB. Tried this already in GB and JB (MB2 and MB4). Hafidzduddin confirmed that in kernel there is everything that is needed for USB OTG, but probably it is lack of something in hardware.
But all bluetooth mouses and keyboards work good.

It was mentioned that it supports OTG. Its just that we needed a kernel and drivers or stuff that would make it possible
Is pressing "THANKS" to hard to do? If you think my post is helpful then click that button! Ungrateful bast***s​
That's what I meant
So i will need to have kernel by hafidz.
I searched on forums and found that i have to short pin 4 and pin5 of mini usb connector. Did someone tried for i8160.
Does simple usb flash disk also needs powrr from phone.

I remember someone saying that if the phone cannot power the USB device, an external power source should be used. I don't really know what that meant but I'm guessing a USB hub that has a separate power supply.

USB OTG works right out of the box on Xperia P and Xperia Sola (Nova Thor U8500). My friends in work have themad this function works without any mods with Nokia CA-157 USB-OTG cable. My freiend is even using USB-TV-tuner on his Xperia P. The same cable does not work with Ace 2. Already tried it on GB and leaked JB. I do not believe, that it is only software fault made by Samsung.

USB Hub with OTG Cable

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.
I haven't used a multiport

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.

[Q] Does this phone work with external hard drives when plugged in with a OTG cable?

Edit: it works. Ignore this post.
I wanted to see if I can plug my hard drive in so I can stream movies from LocalCast. I plugged the hard drive in and it was recognized, but I can't seem to find the folder. My guess is it's just not compatible, but I wanted to make sure before I give up.
