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.

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...

Hi guys,
is it possible to connect SIII to TV, mice and keyboard at once? Is there a dock out there to make this possible? Will the mice AND keyboard work through Bluetooth when I connect the SIII to TV via MHL adapter?
Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
Can somebody confirm that it works and use mhl and bluetooth keyboard and mice? Did someone found dock?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Yes it works but you need a standalone Bluetooth keyboard/mouse as the hdmi will use the micro sd slot so no dongle.
The hdmi has a slot for the phone charger- in fact it won't work without it
What about a dock? Did anybody found one with hdmi or micro usb output so J can connect mhl kabel?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Probably too early the cables only been available for a few weeks. Just dont get anything compatible with s2 as samsung changed the hdmi pin arrangement on s3.
Or you can wait for the allshare cast dongle then you can use usb hub with an OTG setup

Hi,
can you pls explain more in details?
Thank you
The setup he means is to use the accesory that Samsung will sell (dont know when), to cast your phone screen to your HDTV (up to 1080p) called "all cast share dongle", this connection is wireless so you will be able to connect a keyboard, mouse and HD...using a USB hub and a USB OTG cable.
hey,
since i found everything needed at home to use the s3 as a pc, i posted this up on my blog. it should help you understand a little more i think.
i also made some pics.

Nice, that is what I am talking about
Is it possible to somehow adjust the resolution on the monitor, because it is just a big copy of your mobile screen.
If it is possible to make the icons smaller? I want to use my phone for browsing and I dont want huge panel in the browser.
thx
Lukas
not really. but for browsing u can use a browser which uses full screen like the stock one, and request desktop sites.
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 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.
I try to use this OTG with my pad but I can't mount with USB flash drives. I also use nexus importer for help but it not work. Help me please. thanks in advance.
Are you on stock LG or an AOSP rom? Only stock rom is reading OTG atm. I believe. There's also the chance that the cable isn't working ofc.
You could try stickmount from the playstore.

I'm on stock. But It said it error.
What format is stick formatted with? Try a few. Seems weird that it wouldn't work. I honestly expected that you were on a custom rom since it didn't work. I have linked a youtube vid somewhere else where a guy is using storage and hdmi out on stock rom. So it should work.
I dunno. ;/
I use an OTG cable on my stock G Pad with USB adapters and a Logitech wireless mouse dongle and everything works fine. Where are you looking for the drives after you connect them to the device ?
