I hear that honeycomb and ics support this function. So has anyone tried this out or does this version of ics have this functionality? I'm wondering if this device can read and explore external mass storage devices such as usb thumb drives or memory card readers and such. Would definitely be a deal breaker for me when I'm due for an upgrade.

yes, and you need a proper correct usb-OTG cable.
not all cable works.
Works great on bigxie v. 5, using stickmount to mount my usb key. Haven't tried mouse etc, just wanted storage to work.
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

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.

Nope. But Xperia phones with the same soc has otg working, i think

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.

Hello!
I am interested in buying this phone, but I have one question about it (I've searched many forums and have not found clear answer):
Does this phone support USB On The Go? If not in stock, is there any kernel, which allow to use this function?
Thanks
So far in stock it does not support otg.

Is there any kernel or patch I can use to add Ethernet to a ROM. I don't care stock or not. I know when I had the Asus tablet to add the support.
Any help would be great

If you are asking about reverse tether as in sharing internet from you pc to you phone via usb the answer is yes . Look for xposed frameworks and there is a module for this . The xposed module list is in the app section .
I have the nintendo wii usb ethernet adapter plugged into a usb OTG cable into the phone. Yet there is no ethernet section in setting on stock or custom roms. I remember on my asus tablet there was a zip I flashed to add kernal support and add setting apk with those options. Is there anyway to add to this phone so I dont need a laptop and a phone to do my computer work

I have a Logitech g35 headset that I love to use on my computer, I just got an otg cable and would like to use it for my phone, I have attempted it but wanted to know if I had to do anything special to get it working or if I have no chances of getting it to work
