Do you think that will work for Mass Storage as well? I bought one off ebay for 1.49 so we can try it out. Hopefully it will come before friday morning so i can test.

Didn't thought of that, I'll try it out tonight.
If you're just taking the USB cable that came with the tablet, changing it's gender and plugging something into the end, it won't work. The tablet would need to have USB Host support which this tablet does not. I believe that the Samsung USB Adapter that converts directly from the Samsung Connector to USB Female will add USB Host support (USB OTG).

All 3.1 are USB host. However, the female to female adapter doesn't do the trick.

I'm sorry, but you're wrong. Honeycomb 3.1 adds SOFTWARE support for USB Host funtionality. The device has to have HARDWARE support as well. This tablet does not. That is the reason that you need a special adapter that provides USB Host HARDWARE funtionality, such as the one I listed above.

Well that blows. I just ran down to best buy to try and grab one of these adapters but they are back ordered. Said they have no idea when they will have them next.

I've got my fingers crossed Samsung hasn't dicked up the Bluetooth stack on the Galaxy Tab 10.1/8.9:

Yes. There's a lot of misinformation in this thread. The tablet DOES have USB Host capability, but it will only enable it when it sees a specific resistor on a particular pin in the dock connector.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155065 for more details.
To get USB Host, there are two approaches:
1) Make your own cable with the correct resistors
2) Purchase the Samsung USB Host adapter which is now available for around $20.
Note that there are some limitations:
1) Xbox360 controllers and PS3 controllers are not standard HID devices and require kernel support not present in stock kernels. Pershoot's kernel has the necessary modules.
2) PS3 controllers must be fully charged before trying to use them. If not they will try to charge their battery from the tab and cause an overcurrent trip, disabling the port until the USB dongle is disconnected.
Also, Samsung didn't mangle the Bluetooth stack like they do with their phones, so wiimotes work.
Not working for me
Not sure if there's a specific USB setting, but I bought the adapted and it works with Chainfire's DSLR Controller no problem. I plugged in the playstation 3 remote and had no luck, nor any detection of the device. Tried running an n64 emulator to try to map the keys, no luck there either.
All of the guides seem to be using a Xoom, I'm on the brand new OTA on the GT10.1
Anyone else?
USB Adapter for Galaxy tab 10.1
Verizon wireless corporate stores have the adapter in stock they will have to order it but last time i checked they had about 4000 in the warehouse, I hope this is helpful for those of you who are patiently waiting.

Which kernel are you running? Did you read my notes in the post prior to yours at all?
So, if i get the official USB adapter my regular wireless keyboard (Logitech Wave) should work seamlessly. Right?
I've just been using the "SixAxis Controller" app from Dancing Pixel (you can find it on the Android Market) to connect my PS3 controller to my tablet over Bluetooth. It's worked great for me (note: I use yongzh's emulators)
Hope that helps with the PS3 issues...I don't really know much about the USB adapter as I don't use it.
I think I should be posting this in the accessories thread, but this is actually a question. So I hope the moderator moves it to the right thread if I made a mistake.
If anyone is using a powered USB hub to connect multiple devices to your Note 2, say an External HD, a wireless dongle for mouse and keyboard, or any other accessories through the OTG cable, does it charge the phone? I'm planning on buying a powered USB hub so that I can use my 1 TB External HD. But as we all know that it's going to cause a major drain on the battery, it'll be really helpful if connecting the OTG cable through a powered USB hub actually charges the phone too.
Waiting for replies from members of xda.
Anyone?...

Just got my otg cables delivered yesterday. I already hooked up a usb keyboardb with no problems. I have a powered 4 port hub that I plan on hooking up today. Just have to un bury it from my basement. Plan on using keyboard, mouse and an external drive . I didn't even think about whether it would charge the phone or not. If I had to guess I would say no but I'll get back in a few hours and let you know what happens. Do you have any idea if we can use wireless usb input devices that use dangles?

Well for one thing I am using a logitech wireless keyboard and a mouse, not bluetooth, with otg cable and it works. So I think it'd work with a hub too.
Should be getting my powered hub by Monday. I hope it can charge the device... Fingers crossed.
If u r thinking about a gsm data dongle, I doubt it'd work. Some if the Chinese and Indian android device do have support for usb data dongle. I wish samsung had implemented in our device.

Nope you answered my question. Was gonna buy one of those logitech keyboard\trackpad combo from Walmart for like 35 bucks which now I will although a gsm dongle sounds interesting. Unfortunately to answer your question, I hooked up my powered hub ten minutes ago and it did not charge my GN2 as I suspected. I'm using an old Dlink dsb-h4 which is many years old and I think it's even usb 1 (god I need to upgrade) maybe your new one will yield you better results. I'm just thinking that the hubs send power to the ports and not backwards to the host device. Let me know if yours works and I'll go ahead and purchase the same one.

Will definitely give u a feedback as soon as I get mine. Dang... I was hoping it'd work... I hope it does with the new one. I ordered an amkette 7 port powered usb hub.

Yeah would have been nice. Luckily I have four batteries and am also usually within arms reach of an outlet. At least using a powered hub, my inputs won't cause additional drain on my device. Looking forward to hearing about your experience.

Got my Amkette 7 port USB hub. Got it connected. Inserted my 1 TB HD, a wireless dongle for keyboard and mouse, a 500 gb HD. And all is well with the world. It however doesn't charge my device as suspected. Oh well...You can't win 'em all. Atleast battery drain won't be much as i8t is a powered hub.
Currently typing using a Logitech K260 wireless keyboard with external keyboard helper pro so that the stock keyboard doesn't pop out and take up screen real estate. Prrettty happy with the outcome I guess.

Sweet! Yea I thought that was going to happen. Yep our batteries are large enough we don't have to constantly worry about charging. Having a keyboard is awesome isn't it? Just got done typing a craigslist ad for a 360 and 60 games on my keyboard. It was great. You can get so much more done! The only gripe I have is that the wired devices we use, create a mess of wires but oh well its more than worth it!

Have you tried it with a usb pen connected. I think it won't charge when no usb device is connected.
I believe its not possible to charge while using otg mode, as the phone's charging capability is blocked to enable otg. Im not sure if charging through pogo pins will work or not, but it should.
And I believe power part of the cable you purchased is for external power to your USB device, like a 2.5" external HD.
Does anybody know of a working OTG cable for the Nexus 7 2013? If so please reply with a link to Amazon. I am planning to hook up either a ps3 controller or xbox 360 controller.

Using it right at this very moment on my very own N7 2013 built in July 2013
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0073EPXO4/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This is what I'm using. Cheap & works great & is pretty thick, I feel like it'll last long.
I use this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009YPYORM/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
purchased from seller: Atomic Market for around $10
It has the additional bonus of being able to accept power via its additional USB cable.
I find the Nexus 7 LTE 2013 does not need the additional power for typical USB thumb drives, but it might be needed for other devices like an external disk drive.
I find my Chromecast must have this cable powered in order to use a USB thumb drive to root and replace the android operating system.
You can save a few bucks for a cable that does not provide power if you want.
I also own this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005FUNYSA/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
(purchased from amazon seller: Digital Center(Ships From Hong Kong)
which only costs $1.49 with free shipping. It was $0.83 when I purchased it last year.
It works on the Nexus 7 LTE 2013 with USB thumb drives, but does NOT provide additional power for devices which may need it.
Can you confirm thath this otg power cable charges the nexus 7 2013 while still reading peripheral data from usb port?

I can only confirm that both OTG cables I own work on the Nexus 7 2013.
i am using one that came with my minix x5 and it works on all my android devices, but the connection is loose. i would be surprised if there was one that did not work as the cable itself is such a simple thing.
i would also like to know of a working powered option. i thought the powered cables only supply power to the accessory, not to charge the device itself.

Since you have the USB OTG cable with the additional cable for charging, would you mind testing it by:
1). Connecting a working USB device (mouse, HDD, etc.)
2). Connecting the USB power to the 2nd cable in the OTG cable
I am trying to use a BT keyboard and non-BT wireless mouse and charge the N7, but unfortunately, it drains the battery down heavily.
PS: I CANNOT use both BT keyboard and mouse AND have Wifi ON, as it interferes with the BT radio, making the keyboard and mouse lag heavily. I have created a thread on this also.
What thread is that?

I have connected a USB thumb drive. The thumb drive works with or without power attached, but it will not charge. I suppose it is built to provide the power to the attached USB device and not to the phone / tablet.

Perhaps a small powered USB hub will reduce the power drain on the N7?

My y-connector from my n4 doesn't charge while using USB otg. The ability to do so is not written in the software. I'll try to locate the source and report. OTOH, the USB otg connectors from my GNex and N4 all work on my N5 and both old and new N7's.
EDIT: I just ran across this. I'm sure it's for the original N7. I wasn't even aware of it so obviously have not tested it. I did use ziddey's kernel on the N4. Still searching.
2nd EDIT: Available for N7 FLO/DEB 4.4.2. I'm running franco but will revert to stock then try this (as soon as I make a nandroid of my device).
3rd EDIT: That kernel does work to charge while on usb otg. It is a setting you choose to activate during the set-up. I just chose stock everything until I got to the power choices. I will say that although the install was successful, I came as close as I've ever come to thinking my device was bricked. After the install, the screen went black and I couldn't do anything. After about a 30 sec power button mash, everything booted back up. This video shows installation on the N5. Some choices are different on the N7 FHD. As I said above, I was NOT returned to TWRP after installation.
There is a note about altering a sys file for OTG peripherals. I only attached a flash drive and the usb_charge_mode was set to Y (I assume for yes). You may have to perform the edit if using a peripheral device.

Does anyone have a working configuration for the "Seek Thermal" USB IR camera attachment for the Nexus 7 (2013) WIFI "FLO"?
I recently purchased one and it won't connect in the app.
Our device isn't listed as approved (or not). In my correspondence with the company, they say they have gotten reports from users that it works on Nexus 7 (2013), but I can't figure out the magic combination of kernel/rom etc (I have tried flashing a few different ones).
The company (tech support) suggested that the Nexus 7 (2013) might not have powered USB OTG and may need an external power source, but I doubt that since I can drive a wired optical mouse.
I understand that some "OTG" cables are finicky so I have been testing it plugged directly in (it will face backwards due to the port but I'll know if it runs).
FYI: I have tried booting with it plugged in, no luck. Also, stickmount won't detect it at all.
I'm hoping that someone out there can fill me in on their success (fingers crossed).
Note: My nexus 7 (2013) is my only android device (my phone is Windows 8... please don't hold that against me), so until I know what has worked for others, I still can't rule out a defective camera unit.
You do need a powered otg cable ... Trust me on this

So the Nexus 7 2013 doesn't provide enough juice?
Gonna be a tricky connection because the Seek Thermal has a micro-usb connector, so to hook it up with a powered OTG cable it's gonna need to be one with a micro input - most have regular USB input.
I'm in the same boat. I know my Seek isn't defective because it works on my wife's Galaxy S4.
Maybe that's my exact problem with my HUAWEI E3372 mobile modem ? not enough juice to be detected by the android system? Cause the blue LED on the modem is blinking while connected to the Nexus.
I also bought seek thermal yesterday. I have nexus 5 which has android6(original) and nexus 7 2013 which has nouga flo version.
I don;t have reverse cable so just plugin to them to just confirm it work.
Nexus 5 detect seek thermal well but nexus 7 nougat don;t detect it.
