Bought a USB male mini to USB female adapter so I could use my USB drive as external storage. Saw a tutorial on this a while ago, not sure how to do it now. I am rooted and I have purchases root explorer if it helps.

I do not know the details but look into stickmount. I've never used it but it sounds like what you need.

I can confirm that stick mount works either external storage, should work like a charm!

I just purchased for my S3 the OTG cable in the amazon store labeled: "SANOXY Micro USB Host Mode OTG Cable Flash Drive SD T-Flash Card Adapter FOR Samsung GT-i9100 i9100 Galaxy S II 2 GT-N7000 Galaxy Note" (sorry new users can't post links)
I got it so I could hook up my PS3 controller to play emulator games (via John NES lite and GENPlusDroid) on my unrooted verizon S3. If I purchase a usb splitter, would I be able to use two controllers for two player games?

You should be able too I also just purchased 3 of them. But I think you have to be rooted for the cable to work anyways. Also downloads stick mount by chainfire for free from the play store. It will help when using the cable for mass storage devices.

The s3 already supports flash drives without stickmount or root. As for the two ps3 remotes, I have tried to do this but they both register the buttons for one controller. This might be written into ICS unless you buy the yoypad I think. I tried the otg to a USB hub with two controllers with no luck, also two controllers with sixaxis app no luck, also one with six axis app and one with USB otg and still both register for one controller. The USB hub did support keyboard and mouse at the same time though so its got to be the way ICS is programmed for only one game controller.

Verizon phones can't be easily rooted, so that guide doesn't help.
I am having this problem I can mount everything from my mouse to my usb. I bought an sd card adapter and put my sd card in the adapter, but didn't work. I know the adapter is not broken because I have tried it on my computer and it worked just fine

Ahh that explains it. Search ntfs in the play store and pick one you like. You need an app to mount the ntfs partition.

That's strange.. it most likely is ntfs formatted though. I'd try USB otg manager from the market. Your USB port isn't damaged at all is it?

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.

I have tried everything... Changed the kernal. I literally tried every single kernal. I changed the rom, from jedi mind trick to cm9 stable to koodo. I might just buy a newer one. I tired the usb hub and still not connecting. Thanks for everything btw. I am still looking into this because it's something that I think that needs to be done. Still boggles my mind that it works on the Galaxy Nexus but not that S2

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.

Is there a way to mount say a jump drive or a card reader to the usb port of my phone without requiring a y cable and an external powersource? Ya know, making the usb port provide power?

Hi
I don't have yet the new Nexus 7 but I'm waiting for it's availability to get one. My plan is to use it to view photos I do when I travel. For the Samsung Tab2 I have an USB kit to mount the card reader and so view/edit the photos. Is there something like that to the Nexus 7?
Thanks in advance for your replies.
A USB OTG cable should work for that.

I use the transcend usb 3.0 card reader with the otg cable and Nexus media importer. All of this and I can view/transfer my pictures.
