Hi All
I have just been buying loads of accessories such as HDMI connectors and OTG cables for my Note 2. But have had no success with any of them. I got the HDMI cadapter first. But get no picture at all. This could be down to several things. I only have a PC monitor to try this out on and it doesnt have HDMI input. I do have a HDMI to DVI cable that I know works but still no joy connecting my Note 2 that way.
Next the OTG adapter arrived and I tried to connect a USB stick but with no joy. I have ES file explorer as well as Solid Explorer. I understand the way the mount points work ie navigating to /mnt and trying all the USB links but none access my USB stick. The stick is formatted fat32. I also tried Stickmount And USB mass Storage watcher. I tried several USB sticks. I even tried to connect a mouse. No joy with any of it.
Normal connectivity using the charge/data cable is fine.
Am I missing something? Is there a setting I need to enable/disable? All the videos I've watched show this as being really straight forward.
Also I have a Touchwiz based Rom, CleanRom and the pjhne is the N7105

I have a tmobile sgs3 with a stock rom (it was rooted, but latest update seems to have killed that), and after seeing the androidNZ connectivity demo I decided to play around with the usb otg. I am having some problems however. I have tried with 2 external hdds and a thumb drive and all three light up, but do nothing to the phone. I get no pop ups, and when I use astro to check the external usb drives, they all show up empty.
What am I missing?
Thank you!
I do not have that issue, but did you check USB debugging mode in Developer options?
I haven't tried to connect to an external HD, but USB Flash card works fine, as well as USB keyboard & mouse.
I've bought a $2 USB adapter for my phone and I have been able to mount a pendrive or a HD (when it is plugged to an external power source).
But when I try to connect a Mouse, Keyboard, Gamepad, etc., nothing happens. Not even an error message.
I'm using an official Android 4.03 rooted ROM (Claro Argentina).
Does anyone know what could be happening? The problem is my ROM (and it's drivers)? Is my USB otg adapter that is not compatible with mouse and keyboard?
I attach a screenshot of my system

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.
After upgrading to lollipop OTG doesn't seem to work any more
I stick a multi SD / USB adapter and it doesn't do anything
should i enable something? like developer menu?
I have the same problem

Works fine for me on my 10.5, maybe you have the wrong otg cable?
Do you see the notification in the status bar when connecting a device.
no notification, but with same cable and same USB pen connected to Samsung S6 it works
not sure why and how it worked but connecting tablet to PC, it was recognized as external storage on mac with android app
now after disconnecting OTG works

I am having same problems as others. Tried al404's suggestion in various forms and still nothing. The problem may be unique to the Wifi only models. Does al404 have LTE? I also have loaded various ROMs, including Liquidsmooth (which supposedly had OTG control), and they have not helped.

Thanks! UsbDriveA it is.
I am using Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ (SM-N975F) with Android 10.
I am able to use the Samsung Dex on PC just fine but when i connect it to the TV through HDMI adapter, it only mirrors the screen and i get no option to turn on Samsung Dex. I have checked the HDMI connection setting too and it's set to start in Dex mode upon connection but still nothing happens.
I tried the same even on Android 9 before getting the update to Androi 10 but the issue faced was the same.
Any idea what to do? Or is there is any thing i am missing or doing wrong?
By the way i am using a USB C adapter which has 2 USB 3 ports, One USB C port and an HDMI port.
Any help would be appreciated.
I didnt know that dex also worked on tv...
it could be a fault in the adapter, it may lack the security or something that is required to pass through to HDMI. as with USB to PC it just transfers the info over a standard USB connection. but a lot of modern devices require certain security and HDMI revisions to actually work with a TV, partly to stop people putting the likes of netflix straight through a capture rig.
if you can get hold of a different make/brand of hub I would try that as it may just be that one.
Just to update that I used Samsung Dex Cable and it worked just fine with the TV. As soon as I connected through it, the option popped on phone for Dex. So yes, my Hdmi to Usbc adapter was at fault and there is always a plus side to use official accessories .
All the OTG adapters I've seen seem to be USB 2.0. Is it worth buying usb 3.0 thumb drives to extend the internal memory? does the 4k Max firestick support usb 3 drives over its the micro usb port?
I tried following the OS v6 method of adding a external USB 3.0 (Intergral 512GB) device using 50/50 and a AUVIPAL OTG adapter
Looked like it worked successfully to me.
I've moved SmartTube and Kodi to the exeternal storage, but I found the apps to be very very sluggish.
However, I factory reset the Fire Stick and then plugged in the USB and followed the prompt on screen to use it as external drive, it formatted the drive and recognised it.
I installed Kodi and SmartTube and they run fine.
I've noticed that apps that have USB support take a bit of time to install (as they're installed on USB) but once they are installed, they generally seem to work fine.
So, to answer your question, I think the speed is limited to USB 2 even if you use a USB 3 drive
