What are the different items I can connect to my Note via the USB On The Go adapter?
Apart from USB thumb pen drives, do external hard drives, wireless keyboard and mouse, gamepsds work?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
they all should work out of the box, except for hard drives, which will need additional power
I want to try this feature but cannot find an adapter that works. I bought one off eBay but that was no good, the supplier stated it was for the Galaxy Note but didn't work on Gingerbread 2.3+ which was odd as obviously the Note ships with Gingerbread 2.3
I contacted Samsung who said I needed the official Samsung OTG cable but they don't sell to Joe Public .. trawling endless sites to find a supplier came up zero.
So if anyone know of a supplier (UK preferred) of one of these compatible adapter / cables please let me know
Good to see someone started this topic, very useful..
I have the Galaxy note and managed to connect my Keysonic keyboard with builtin mouse with no problems. I have the otg adapter and when I plugged in the wireless adapter the note picked it up as a keyboard and mouse, worked great.

Also the scrolling on the mousepad worked!!

Nokia OTG Adaptor
Does the Nokia OTG adaptor work with the note? Anyone tried?
Thanks a lot for the Amazon link I also found the identical one on the UK site here:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Aftermarket...NQXS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1324042438&sr=8-1
I shall order one and report back
EDIT: this arrived and I can confirm it does work. Thanks to the OP for this link

I've just tried my N8s adaptor but no luck I'm afraid. It's connector to the phone is thicker and simply won't fit into the Note.
Nokia (at least the official cable) uses the "correct" Micro USB A for Hostmode.
You have to get Micro USB B for the Note.
(B cable fit in A but not otherwise)

Ditto here. Almost wished it could work
Can you use OTG and MHL at the same time?

Anyone try a generic USB Gamepad? I have a PS3 copy/generic USB that would be cool to hook up to it for emulator games.
I have the original adapter and it's working great:

USB gamepads should work when ICS is coming. Its in there.
dose this mean that not any OTG cable will work!
most are working but some are cheap quality
and some not well made
i bought several OTG cables from a seller on ebay and all worked

Are you referring to those external hard drives that take power from the USB port?
What about those external hard drives that take on a separate power supply, those that are attached to a power socket? Anyone tried plugging in one of those to a Note?
ok I just buy one and it did work fine with sandisk 64gb.
so it's confirmed that it can read portable drives.
looking forward to owning one.
Is there a trick to getting the OTG/USB hosting to work? I have the latest Juggernaut ROM & latest Faux kernel. I received an OTG cable, but the phone doesn't react in any way to it. The light on my USB flash drive doesn't light up, mouse doesn't work, etc. Do I have a bad cable, perhaps? Or is there some setting I need to activate?
Thanks!

It should work just fine out of the box. I got a USB OTG adapter from deal extreme that works wonders!
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
it works fine as stated above
i have it, and i use it often with USB drives
just need a USB to microUSB OTG adapter
This is the cable I got:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120836061331&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:US:1123
So I guess it's either not compatible with the T989 or the cable is defective? It fits in the bottom of the phone no problem, and USB devices physically plug in properly.

I have the Same problem like you have on your Phone. I have the Juggernaut V3.7 and and Bullet Kernel which support the OTG usb but I can not read the USB Flash Drive either.I think it's a bad USB adapter I bought it from Ebay too.
OK, I ordered another version of the cable, hopefully that will do the trick!
Thanks, fellas!
I received this OTG USB cable, which says it's for T-Mobile's Hercules, in the mail yesterday and it works great:
www ebay com/itm/200697301772#ht_1335wt_994
Seems to be very good quality. Another host cable I'd tried for the international version of the SGS2 (GT-i9100) did not work. It did work on my brother's i9100 he purchased in Europe, so the cable was good - just not cross-compatible (at least for that particular cable).

While researching ability to use USB DAC while charging the phone in the car I found this video. The guy clearly says that tablet is charging while accessing all those accessories via USB OTG. Similar cables are found on ebay, called "USB OTG with power".
The big question is: would the Galaxy S3 actually charge while using USB DAC at the same time? It should be possible, but I don't have the phone yet (still considering it), nor do I have the cable, nor a USB DAC In theory it should be the same with any accessory - can someone actually confirm either way, whether phone can or can't charge in USB OTG mode with similar cable? This video shows similar setup on Galaxy S (only it's normal OTG cable, USB hub, usb Y-cable and card reader) and it's definitely charging while mounting USB devices! Will S3 do the same?
I fear that upgrading from Galaxy S with voodoo control of Wolfson chip to north-American S3 with worse audio path might not suit me if there's no way to power the phone and use external DAC at the same time in the car... I hope there is a way... I appreciate any advice and opinions.
It's a first time I see such cable...All I read was people saying it's impossible in the first place. Well, hopefully in 2 weeks I'll be able answer your question

Looks like it's possible on some devices, but not with Galaxy and Nexus family... But it would be great if you can confirm that, so let me know if you can try it. Thanks.
Finally got the cable.
The result - nope, doesn't charge
Maybe the "Allshare hub" could do what your asking for?

Sonic, any luck with your friends phone? Really looking foward to your results :fingers-crossed:
Do you have part #s for the variable resistors in your samsung post or at least where you got them from? I would be willing to try some things out if I could find the right pieces. What I really want to get my hands on is the MHL adapter that was shown off with that spider laptop at IFA a couple weeks ago..
SUCCESS!!! I can confirm that this USB OTG cable (http://ebayitem.com/190710044655) DOES CHARGE MY GALAXY S3! I plugged in USB cardreader with SD card into the phone through this cable (it lit up and card is fully readable), then plugged USB cable end into PC and phone showed a charging icon! Moreover, after waiting for 5 min. with screen off (cardreader still glowing blue and working) battery has gone up from %72 to %75 (and while I was writing this, to 78%), so it is indeed charging! Yay! It probably won't get up in the car, where just phone alone is "not discharging" at best from the car adapter, but at least it should allow me to listen to music with quality DAC and use navigation without (or with minimal) discharging.
I have not tested it with USB DAC that I intend to use for my car (Behringer UCA222), because I have to go out and buy it. Hopefully it works. Anyway, this cable definitely works with simultaneously charging my north-american Samsung Galaxy S3 (from Bell Canada) while powering USB cardreader!
Somebody else has mentioned that another cable (http://ebayitem.com/120980364117) also worked in his Galaxy S2.
I bought Behringer UCA222 USB DAC and tested it in my car with the USB OTG cable with power that I mentioned. It works great! And the phone is indicating a charge. Sometimes when first playing music after plugging the device it sounds like fast forward for a few seconds (I guess clock rate mismatch or something similar), but after the presumably clock is locked it plays perfectly fine.

That is outstanding..gonna order one of these guys right now.
Here is a better link for all the ebay listings. Be aware of the differences, MicroUSB adapters would allow you to use your existing charge cable to plug into it while the standard USB would require you to be very close to the charger or have a USB A-A cable to attach to a power source.

The problem is that apparently not all of those cable work in terms of charging the phone. People say mostly that it doesn't work. The only guy mentioned success is with the cable I bought, but he then confirmed it with another, more convenient cable. I have the one that needs a USB extension cable to reach the charger, but it's about a buck on ebay, so no problem there. But not all cables work this way: most reportedly will allow you to power USB accessories but not charge the phone.
I found that this configuration works for charging while in USB HOST mode:
S3 -> standard otg cable -> Powered USB2.0 HUB -> devices (keyboard, usb dac, usb hdd...)
The only catch is that the hub must be powered before you plug in the phone or the phone will try to power the hub and will never enter charging mode. I'm using this setup in my car and it works perfectly. As long as I start the car before plugging the phone, we are good to go.
I only confirmed this works with AOKP JB builds. No idea about other roms/kernels. Hopefully this helps someone.

I got mine in the mail today (ordered 10/16) and tried it out as soon as I could. I can confirm it charges and allows for OTG at the same time. This is the auction I bought from: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=251127542280&ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:U:US:3160
Hello y'all. I'd like to ask your attention to this thread, especially but not limited to sonicboom and others, I really could use some help.
I've been seeing varying reports, so I figured I'd ask here: does the 10 support USB audio? Can I connect (for example) a Fiio E18 if I have the correct cable, and expect that the phone will output to the DAC?
I'm about 90% sure that it does.
I use an AudioQuest DragonFly Red and Black using a USB otg cable and it works fine, albeit @96khz.
USB audio player Pro also works well.
This is on a UK sim-free unit, stock and MaximusHD.

Thanks! Can you confirm if you're able to use anything besides USB Audio Player Pro?
Yep, Tidal, YouTube etc all work
Thank you very much MrN, I picked up the DAC and it works wonderfully. I don't know what the guy on $otherForum was complaining about.
No worries dude.
It didn't work when I first tried it so one of the updates must have fixed it.
What cable are you using to connect the phone to the DAC? I've tried the micro USB cable that came with my Fiio E18 and a USB C converter and it doesn't work. I'm currently on a rooted stock nougat ROM.
Bump I would also like to know what cables work

FWIW I got one of these and it works fine
So I took a risk and bought this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZWKHG6O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It's a little pricey but it works amazingly! It allows you to plug in multiple usb interfaces, allows for rapid charging while using headphones, and Ethernet with your phone if you are into that. The only ports I found that don't work with the Pixel 2 XL are the sd card ports and the hdmi (obviously). Everything else works correctly.
Only issue:
When you plug the device in the phone will tell you headphones are plugged in even if there not; the device is probably contacting with the dac on the hub. So you can't use the phones speakers while the hub is plugged in.
Other than that it works great!
I myself use this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01L8GCFNO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_79jbBb7N074HH
It's cheaper, hard to get, but it works okay!
I also got the aukey one and it works great. Hard to find now.
That's some insane connectivity there !
Nice !
Come to think of it, was that ethernet connectivity also possible with the microUSB 2.0 ports ?

Just plug in the adapter from Google you got in the box. That's how I do it. Plus this also works if you have USB c headphones.
