Hi all, I know this question was probably answered somewhere in XDA already but unfortunately I having trouble to find it.
Does Canadian (Bell) Note2 support USB OTG?
Looks like the international version of the N2 does support it but for some reason they decided not to implement that feature in the Canadian version...
is rooting the phone will solve that or it's due to some hardware limitations?
Thanks in advance!
Please note that when you get one of those cables, and it doesn't have the right amount of pins! Then it will not work correctly 4u.
One other thing is that you have to make sure that you push the usb otg all the way in. I was having the same problem but it was user error. :what:
And I use that same cable on a stock Rom on my Samsung Skyrocket. So I'm quite sure your phone should work with it!!:thumbup:
Just have to get the right cable!

You will need to have an installed kernel that supports USB-OTG functionality and is enabled... I believe most of the i317/N7105 kernels support it.

I have a cable that perfectly works on my Motorola xoom so I was assuming that the cable is fine... unless N2 need a different adapter (11 pin/5 pin)
,which I think I doesn't need...
Correct me if I'm wrong.

5pins should be fine for otg. You need 11pins, or the 5 to 11 converter, if you're trying to do video out via mhl.

No need for the other adapter. It should work with your phone right out the box!

Then your mhl must be an 11 pin. Every post, as well as my own experience, says the 5 pin mhl won't work unless you get the 5/11 adapter for it. It's not a question of kernel or stock rom, but 11 pins vs 5 for mhl video out.

"out of the box" is true about the international version.
as per Samsung Canada the local version of the N2 here in Canada is not capable of doing USB OTG because of hardware limitations...
now personally me, I think it's b******* and there is some way to get around that...
and this is the actual question,how?
and BTW MHL works fine for me (with the Samsung S3/N2 MHL adapter which is 11 pin).

I have a note 2 (1317m) from bell in Calgary and usb otg works fine for me on Miscom's custom rom with perseus kernel. I should also note that I have 2 otg adapters (both 5 pin) and they both work on my galaxy nexus, but only one works on my note 2. The one that doesn't work feels like it's a little too short to make a proper connection.

As I thought Samsung Canada tried to feed me crap on a spoon.
So it might be the adapter... as I mentioned before, it does work on my Moto Xoom. You right though, I guess there is a filling that it kind of "short".
The MHL adapter that I have feels longer...
Sent From My Note 2 Using XDA Premium HD
Yup, I'd bet that's your problem. My samsung power cable, my mhl adapter and the working otg adapter all feel like they kinda "suck in" when I push them in the last little bit. The non working otg one definately felt different. I can't find it at the moment to see if it's shorter, but the one that works is about 6mm long if that helps.

Won't work either way.
That and most cable will work with Galaxy S2 but it won't work with Epic 4G Touch Galaxy S2. Although they are close they are not the same phone.
USB OTG is disabled on the Sprint version of the SGSII. MHL is only to split the USB data from the HDMI stream.
Do you guys know when it'll be enabled? I asked in a development thread for ICS to see if it could be added in the new kernel they are developing for it and got flamed by Jerdog.
I would love to have this as I use it a lot on my Xoom.

It is a really nice feature I use on the zoom as well. It would be nice to get it enabled.

Guys, I bought a USB OTG cable today. Nothing special, but my GNexus doesn't want to work with me. No matter what I connect - USB mouse, keyboard, flash drive [w/ StickMount by Chainfire] - Nexus doesn't recognize it. Tried wiping and reflashing my ROM (CM10, today's nightly) but it doesn't help. I use Air Kernel, but flashing franco.kernel or using the stock one doesn't work too. It looks like there's no power in Nexus' micro socket. However, when I connect a USB hub with external power source Nexus starts charging. Any ideas?

You say that when you connect the Nexus to a powered USB hub, it starts to charge. Does that mean you have the USB-OTG cable hooked to the Nexus, then some sort of gender changing adapter to hook it to the USB hub? What happens if you plug the flash drive into the USB hub while the Nexus is "charging"? Does the Nexus continue to charge and you get access to the flash drive???

Darn. I was hoping you had somehow magically discovered that the phone can charge itself while still being in USB Host Mode. That'd be absolutely fantastic!
Try it on stock JB, CM10 isn't even alpha. Plus, make sure any custom kernels you plan on trying support it.

Just bought the second one - still doesn't work. Why?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1092493.html
Check out that link to see a potential cable problem.
The roms [cm9] and kernel [stock] should work for you.
Is the cable you are buying specifically stating usb otg on the package? If not, buying 2 cables from the same store of the same type won't change anything.
This is what works for mr.

It's not damaged at all. The weird thing my observations are that there is not enought power getting to the adaptor. When I plug the adaptor in my friends Galaxy nexus running on stock rom the light on the adaptor lights up just fine, but mine just blinks for like a fraction of a second and doesn't connect. I'm also thinking it's the rom or it needs a new kernal ???
You need to check whether the kernel you're on supports otg.

Weird.. I've only seen power with hard drives that use the USB power. Can you post the exact make model of the adapter? Also, do you have a powered USB hub you could try? As in connect hub to phone, plug adapter into hub. That way the adapter most certainly is getting the power needed.
It also might be ROM kernel related.

While I haven't encountered any issues with sd adapters on the t989, it sounds like you're having either a power problem or that particular adapter isn't playing nice with your kit. You can rule out power by plugging you usb otg to a powered hub and testing with a high powered device (usb drive for example) and should that work, then trying the adapter. If the adapter works off the hub, it's likely a power problem. If not, the adapter hates you and loathes samsung, and wants you to by a nexus.
While not common, the adapter could be asking for a full 500ma even though it doesn't require it or is having some other isb negotiations headbutt with your gs2.
you can also try popping open a console terminal and checking what's happening under the hood. you should be able to see in the output of dmesg when you connect the adapter and what the kernel is saying about it, which will help point you in the right direction.

So I've been using Jovy XTREMEPERIA S4 rom forever and just bought an hdmi adapter. When I plug it in the "connected to hdmi" message doesn't even show up. Anyone else using his rom have this issue?

You may have already checked but it is an 11-pin adapter right? The 7-pins don't work on the GS4.
