USB Host OTG Cable Adapter

Got one of these yesterday, quick delivery and does what it says on the tin: link

i have this and is working fine also. It's working even with an optical mouse...cool!

I had a bit of a hard time finding one in the US. I just ordered a micro usb cable and a female to female connector. I think it was under $2(US) total.

has anyone tried connecting external 500 gig hard drive to the galaxy s 2?

I have the adapter cable but does not work for GS2 but on the HTC HD2 its work.
Why does not work, does not show me any sign that the cable connected. Does it have to be some special cable?

I have, it doesn't work unless you have a external power supply for the hard drive. the phone can't supply enough power to it.

Micro USB OTG Host Adapter

If anyone is looking for a cheap micro usb otg host adapter to use to attach usb devices (thanks to DooMLord here), I ordered these from DealExtreme a few weeks ago and they just came in. Worked like a charm to mount a usb stick on my Arc. $2.20 with free shipping, no taxes as they marked it as a gift:

Is OTG cable available for NOVO 7 Paladin?

Yeah, found that one too. With that prize, you could purchase a lot of them. In hardware shops, they may cost tens of euros.

Amazing, so far we've had root, extra buttons on the dock (menu), better settings for auto-brightness and now this - and all from one dev.

superb, this is great news - thanks Paul. Your work really is highly appreciated

Great job Paul
Just wondering does that enable both UMS, PTP and MTP or is it a toggle between UMS and PTP + MTP?
Edit: Oh, my bad i thought you were referring to the storage on the device (Because i saw you had /mnt/sdcard/) not USB-OTG

USB keyboard and mouse works too...
P

Assume a USB-OTG dongle is required? Recommend one? Thanks.

I just bought a cheapo off eBay IIRC.

Got a link to said auction?
Thanks Paul for all your hard work.

Just search for "usb A female to micro male"
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...emale+to+micro+male&_sacat=See-All-Categories

That is a stock feature? I mean if I get that phone I can connect a usb key with a simple USB adapter?

nope, not a stock feature of GN, only after the custom kernel. ICS supports it already.

I've got the cable, now how do I use it? Running Modaco ROM. Plugging in my pendrive doesn't seem to do anything, do I need to manually mount?

this is awesome. Now i just hope i can plug in my 1TB external, then no need to worry about 16GB of internal

This is so awesome, once I get my nexus ill be doing this!

This one works fine, even though it's not advertised as being an OTG cable:

Edit: just noticed it went up in price. I ordered it like a week ago and it was 2.99 back then.

This guy deserves a girl
SOMEONE PLOZ KISS HIM

but how to use it?

Proof? I don't even see a review for it.

Charge and connect USB controller

So ICS supports USB gamepads/mice/keyboards which is awesome. The only problem is that the Galaxy Nexus only has one available USB port.
How can I connect a USB device to the gnex and charge it simultaneously?

Powered USB hub.

I see how that could work, however I want as little bulk as possible, and a USB hub would add a lot of clutter.
That got me thinking though.
Would there be any problem with charging and playing using this diagram?

It isn't going to work, since the usb port on a nexus only can do one thing at a time: charging/being a slave (transferring files from a pc) or act as a host (for a keyboard/mouse/gamecontroller). This will not work together until a kernel dev finds/creates a workaround.

Usb OTG supports accessory/charge mode, but the cable has to have the correct id for the usb chip to allow it. I don't think any cables have this enabled as of yet.

This cable won't suffice?

If not, what has to be done to enable this?
Also, does this mean the powered USB hub won't work either?

I have a feeling that even if charging works (and I think it should) it will only charge at 500mA as I doubt OTG will work properly if you enable Fast USB charge. At the very least your battery won't die out quickly I guess, depending on the game's requirements hardware wise.

I'll try it out tonight if I can find my damn OTG cable.

Confirmation: Does not work.
Found my cable, and connected the phone to a powered usb hub. It actually would not charge OR read a thumb drive with stick mount. Both worked seperately, but the OTG is not a multitasker. Sorry.

Have anyone used USB-OTG on Amazon Fire Phone?Any issues?

Have anyone used USB-OTG on Amazon Fire Phone?Any issues?SanDisk 16GB,32GB & 64GB OTG works fine on Fire Phone or not,also there is a OTG Cable available on Amazon site have anyone used the cable to use normal USBs,here's the link http://www.amazon.com/Micro-USB-Data-Transfer-connecting-compatible-Accessory/dp/9791182701

Normal OTG Cables for other smartphones will work on Firephone?

OTG is not supported by the Kernel. The (sad) end.
edit: It's disabled on purpose (ofc.) since Amazon is usually only interested in allowing content coming in from their paid platforms.

It's quite disappointing.. I've asked Amazon support about it and been told that it should be in one of the next updates (probably will never happen). So my other question was about OTG cable for FF sold on and by Amazon (can't find it now). Support guy told me that he can't say if it works or not. I can try to buy it and will see.. Is he kidding? Order cable for about 10 pounds and not sure if it works? Thank you, support team
