Hi Guys I like to find a USB OTG (on-the-go) cable to be able to connect all this stuff(for example External Hard Disks,Key Boards,ect.) into the Galaxy Note or any other USB host Samsung Galaxy Device(like my Galaxy S3)Please I need recomendations I do a search don't find to mush for the G Note just for the Motorola Xoom I plan to read that also to see can work

Just get one off eBay. Theyre like 1 dollar. Every OTG Cable will work. You wont need a specific one for the Note.

[Q] Bought a Galaxy S4 Mini - few questions

It won't arrive for a little bit (1saleaday is slow to ship), so I figure I'll ask some questions in the meantime.
Does it support MHL 2.0? I've seen conflicting info, in that some places don't even mention MHL support. And if it's not 2.0, does it require that specific 11-pin Samsung adapter? Selling my HTC One and not sure if I should just include my current 5-pin adapter with it.
Does it work with the Smart Dock like the regular S4 and whatnot? Assuming it works with MHL 2.0, I don't see why it wouldn't work with the Smart Dock.
What kind of sound hardware does it have? I don't suppose its Wolfson...
Does it support exFAT for microSD? I've seen confirmation that it supports 64GB cards at least.
And any idea if it'll have a wireless charging back like for the S4? Don't know if it even supports wireless charging.

I've tried mhl 1.0 and 2.0. Both don't work. Also tried USB OTG also doesn't work.
I have a 64gb micro sd but I can't remember how it's formatted. But definitely works.

Well crap, I was banking on at least regular MHL - are you sure its not the cable you're using (as in, it requires the Samsung specific 11-pin cable)? If not, then I guess GSMarena is wrong (wouldn't be the first time).

I've tried both a cheap one from ebay and the samsung geniune one which works with my normal Galaxy S4 without using the power cable......both cable works on my normal GS4 but it doesn't work on my MIni GS4....i've also tried with or without the power cable attached and still doesn't work.

Well that really sucks. Oh well, guess I'll stick to using my Tab Plus for that for the time being.

only the samsung hdmi adapter works with the GS4 mini due to a specific protocol since it is not HML enabled. I know... it sucks, but it has other ways to connect to a TV

samsung smart TVs have this almost-like "wifi-direct" connection and you can mirror through wifi the phone's display. like sony has with their phones&TVs. you need to be connected to the same wifi... that's it

[Q] Device's OTG support and which cable?

Hello guys,
Is there any of you try to connect external disk (microsd) over OTG?
Technic service is replying our question (LG Turkey) that this model was supporting OTG.
But some of my friends tried some kind of OEM OTG cables (from local shops) but not worked with our G.
For example same cable worked with galaxy S3.
Can we use OTG function in this device? if yes, how? (direct, root, custom rom...) and which cable? (trademark, link...)
Is there any last user experience with this issue?
Thanks allready...

No, you can't use OTG on OG. The only way (but not guaranteed) is to convert your OG to Nexus 4 and then install kernel with OTG support, but it's very risky and never confirmed if works.

Check this:
http://www.gadgets4geeks.com.au/product/micro-usb-to-usb-otg-cable-adapter-lg-optimus-g
And quoted from this:
http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_optimus_g-review-835p9.php
"The USB port has yet another feature - it enables USB On-The-Go. You'll need an adapter for that too (again, there isn't one in the box) but this one is fairly straight forward - you plug it into the Optimus G and plug a standard USB cable on the other end."

It was said long time ago, that this review is lying. OTG doesn't work on OG, it's confirmed by many users.
And cable strictly for OG is just a fake cause every device has the same micro-USB ports so every cable would work with every device only if they have OTG support.

USB Adapter Discussion & Comments

Since the new model tablet does not have the 30-pin charging port, does anyone know if they are developing a mini USB charging adapter that can accommodate a full size USB pen drive, stick, etc...
With the understanding this tablet is new and not very many people have it yet, I thought I would put that question out there, thoughts?

Now all you need is for the tablet to have OTG support. For some reason this is always a big question mark.
I have a USB OTG cable and have used it often with my Galaxy Nexus, but depending on the ROM I had to install an app (that needs root - by chainfire I believe) for it to work. So I wouldn't be too surprised if USB OTG didn't work out of the box.

Maybe this works better on non-AOSP devices. As far as I know, Samsung also has their own Bluetooth drivers too, for example. Maybe this is a similar situation, I don't really know. I've never owned a non-Nexus device, I'm sure someone else with more experience with Samsung devices can clarify this for us.

I tested USB storage and it's working .. but maybe selective
Tried 5 sticks .. 4 worked except a Sony thumb drive gave USB is blank and it's led only blinked for a second.
Also noticed that processor got hot quickly.. as it opened the file explorer or maybe it's the media server and indexing

I've used the otg cable with a mouse successfully

I used a USB on th go cable and was able to transfer documents to an old school kindle from the note 10.1 (2014) edition. Worked like a charm.

External HDD
Hi.
Has anyone tried external hard drives, do you recognize?
Thank you!

i've tried 4 different portable hd's from 320 to 1.5TB. it recongizes the device and spins them up, but they're all ntfs. i can't even get paragon to mount them. i also tried my hacked powered usb otg (made it for rooting the chromecast) and still the same results. if we can get a kernel with ntfs support it should work fine.

Tried this one from the German Amazon. Works like a charm. HDDs are working as well. The most handy while travelling, though: HDMI
As a new user I can't post links. Try searchin amazon.de for Callstel 5in1 MHL-Adapter HDMI, USB, SD für Samsung Galaxy S2/S3 u.a.

I have a motorola otg cable that does NOT work on my note. However I have this OTG cable (minus the 11 pin adapter--I bought it in 2012) which DOES work.

Works perfectly. Recognized my logitech wireless keyboard/mouse , 32 gb thumbdrive, hp passport..... so far every thing I've plugged into it. Can't beat the 6.99 price tag either!

Hello there,
I have another question regarding these OTG cable/hub solutions.. are there any ways to connect an USB device and simultaneously charge your tablet?
like for example an usb game-controller and be able to play games while charging (or watching movies from a (compatible) hard disc while charging)
Thanks for any answers!

It's been discussed in the DN3 thread in this forum... someone was having the same problem as yourself.. Just jump over there and read back a few pages in the thread...
Mine quirks no problem. Could be the connector. Test in another device to see if it's functioning correctly...

The MHL adaptor that works for other samsung galaxy phones won't work with the note 1 or 2. You have to use a small adaptor on the MHL adaptor to get the correct pins to match up.

On the one I have I don't need that additional adapter...
And it works great. But haven't used it lately because of my Chromecast.
