Hi,
I just tried many ways (including powered hub) to make OTG working, bu still failed.
I heard that only custom rom can solve it.
Can anyone suggest which rom support the USB function, better to support all usb drive/mouse/KBs?
Thanks.

Is there anyway to use that internet stick with network sim card via USB with OTG Cable ?? By installing a custom rom or kernel ?
Which device are you wanting to use it on?
As far as I know the T21X (7.0) doesn't have USB-OTG support, the T31X (8.0) & P52XX (10.1) do.
In the past I've used an app called PPP Widget to use a dongle/internet stick successfully, it requires root though.
See - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2068198
App - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.draisberghof.pppwidget
There's no guarantee it'll work on all USB-OTG enabled devices & I think not all USB internet sticks are supported.
May be worth a try if you can.
Hi,
I would like to use lg g3 as a screen for my reverse/backup camera in a car. Before buying the g3 I checked that it supports OTG and latest Android has easycap drivets built in so you do not have to root the phone.
I have got easycap with UTV007 chip which should be supported and I checked that it works on windows laptop. I have got USB OTG cable. If I connect mouse to g3 in otg mode it does work.
However if I connect easycap it does not. I am using one of the reverse camera apps. I ran usb host check program and got the following output:
Android.hardware.usb.host.xml OK
Handheld.core.hardware.xml : usb host not enabled
Tablet.core.hardware.xml : not found
When i tap "fix" i am getting "could not start su process".
To me it sounds like it needs root rights to update some configuration. G3 has factory android 5.0 installed. I have enabled usb debugging but it did not help.
Do you know what the problem is and how can I get easycap working?
I would prefer to not root the device neither to install custom roms because I have no experience (my first week on android)
Thanks in advance!
Forgot to mention: The phone is D855 v20i TWN XX Android 5.0 kernel 3.4.0 if it makes any difference
So I have installed busybox and terminal, no root yet.
I have found handheld.core.hardware.xml and it does not "include" anything to do with usb host- is this a problem?
Furthermore there are numerous files like video0, video1,...video31,video32 in /dev/ - can someone please help explain it?
What is the best thing to check next?
hello. Have you tried using an otg y-cable? It may make no difference, but perhaps a y-cable with power source may help.
Hello everyone!
I have got a Galaxy S4 Mini (I9192) and I try to connect my PS4 controller to it, in order to use PS4 modded remote control app, but the phone does not recognise it. I use CM13 latest build by @csendre , custom kernel by @DarkFrenzy and TWRP 3.0.2-1 by @ne0zone75 as well, but I cannot control the phone through my controller. Inside TWRP, in mount option, I cannot enable USB OTG, and using OTG Troubleshooter app, it has crosses on two last lines (not recognized by Linux and not recognised by Android). I have also connected USB flash drive without any luck... So, is there any way to use USB OTG or is it a hardware limitation of the phone?
Thank you a lot!

I did not use a controller with the S4 mini, however I used USB OTG functions with no issues, but you need to supply power so use a Y cable. Our hardware can not supply power through the USB port
Can anyone tell me why I can't get OTG to work on my tab pro? I plug in the OTG cable and it says usb connected but then it disappears and no matter what usb device I try it doesn't read it. I also tried the dual usb with the micro usb and it does the same thing. I have bought several otg cables, otg y cables, usb hubs, and dual usbs. None of them work. I also have all usbs formatted to fat32. Keyboards and mouses don't work either. Everything I have bought and tried works perfect with my Note 5 phone. I have also tried all the usb otg apps you can download for free in the play store. I even rooted my tab pro and it still doesn't work. Any ideas how I can get it to work on my tablet? I have stock firmware and stock kernel that has been rooted. Tried CM12 and didn't work on that either so I went back to stock firmware.
Hello, I'm sorry If it is a wrong section, and if it is please move it to correct section.
So, I searched all the internet to fix it, but nothing could help me so I decited to make a post because i spent 10-15 hours to fix it but i couldn't.
Ok, my problem is with usb otg. When I plug the cable to the tablet and when I put in the cable: keyboard, mouse or pendrive it does not work. The microport in my Nexus is totally fine I can charge him and send files from PC to my tablet and everything is working properly. Today I changed my android 5.0.2 to Cyanogenmod 11 [android 4.4] when i tried to plug usb otg in my nexus with the keyboard connected it's working and i didnt have the idea how could it be, i tested the pendrive and mouse, everything was working but when i tried back to my keyboard it just didn't work anymore and I did nothing with this, just was testing the otg with the rest of the devices. Keyboard doesn't work so I tried to plug the mouse or pendrive to see If the problem is with the keyboard but everything just stop working. Usb otg cable is working fine and the rest of the devices I tested them on Sony Ericsson 2.3.4. I tried to make a factory reset, delete all the data on my nexus and then install on the clean tablet this cyanogenmod 11 again but when i did it and when i tried to plug in my tablet it didn't work anymore. I tried really everything upraging him to Cyanogenmod 14, or Stock android 6.0, 5.0, 4.4 but nothing .. But i remember when usb otg was working fine and i didnt remember what i did why otg stop work I could have change something in my ROM flashing add'ons or something like this I think. However sometimes usb otg was working randomly just for once until I plug it out / or turn off the device. I have no idea what is happening with my Tablet Nexus 7 2013, I have hope you guys can handle this, because I am totally out .. Sorry for this long story but I couldn't make it shorter as you see it is a weird accident, and also sorry for my english, hope you understand and help me get out of this.
PS: Also I remember when I flashed the ElementalX kernel and choose the USB OTG + Charge option and then install it maybe this is what I did to stop this work maybe it could help but I was installing new roms, wiping device etc. But maybe it had influence to a hardware?
I can say it's looks like the power is not sending from the Tablet to the device connected throught the otg sometimes it works but sometimes it doesn't (like a diode on a pendrive or light from the mouse). I don't know If I am in good way to understand this problem and find a solution..
