I just bought a USB OTG cable. It works fine for gamepads, keyboards and mice on my Tesco Hudl 1 Tablet. But when I try to use it with my Galaxy Nexus on either 4.3 completely stock or Lollipop ROMs, it simply doesn't work! I've read its supported by my phone.. any suggestions?
Thank you in advance
You need root + stickmount app

I tried to pair wired mouse, wireless mouse and a gamepad with OTG cable and even with mini-USB to USB.
Nothng's working and it doesn't even read it.
Any ideas why and what should I do?
see
Issue 22038: USB OTG doesn't work at all.
ICS supports it but the Galaxy Nexus does not. there is a mod in the development section that allows USB devices to work.
you mean this:

?
unlocked he bootloader, rooed my nexus, flashed recovery and flashed this kernel and still no support for usb devices...
any way google will support it in the nexus in the future?
Hello.
I bought this USB OTG cable from Amazon :
http://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B00646KVBW/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00.
With it, I can read USB pen drives content without any problem. It is detected as soon as I plug it and I can play MP3 files from the drive for example.
However, I'm unable to use any USB mouse / keyboard or gamepad (ICS is supposed to have added gamepad profile...), although i've seen many people doing it.
I'm using stock ICS 4.0.3 (unrooted, but that shouldn't be a problem...), I've tried to use USB Joystick Center to see if anything was detected, but no luck so far, although Videos show people even using a wireless XBOX360 controller with what seems the exact same configuration...
Did I miss something ? Is it possible that my cable only allows to use usb mass storage but nothing else ?
I hope someone has some experience to share...
Thanks in advance for your help and sorry if this has already been answered.
Myster-D
Bump ? Anyone ?
Do you think I should have the thread moved to the main Q&A forum ?
Thanks
The cable is fine the kernel isn't you will most likely have to change the phones kernel to enable a few other host otg options.
Thanks for your help.
Is there a way to enumerate the modules implemented in the kernel without rooting ?
I really thought stock kernel had the mouse / keyboard hid profiles...
Thanks again.

I have a tmobile sgs3 with a stock rom (it was rooted, but latest update seems to have killed that), and after seeing the androidNZ connectivity demo I decided to play around with the usb otg. I am having some problems however. I have tried with 2 external hdds and a thumb drive and all three light up, but do nothing to the phone. I get no pop ups, and when I use astro to check the external usb drives, they all show up empty.
What am I missing?
Thank you!
I do not have that issue, but did you check USB debugging mode in Developer options?
I haven't tried to connect to an external HD, but USB Flash card works fine, as well as USB keyboard & mouse.
I've bought a $2 USB adapter for my phone and I have been able to mount a pendrive or a HD (when it is plugged to an external power source).
But when I try to connect a Mouse, Keyboard, Gamepad, etc., nothing happens. Not even an error message.
I'm using an official Android 4.03 rooted ROM (Claro Argentina).
Does anyone know what could be happening? The problem is my ROM (and it's drivers)? Is my USB otg adapter that is not compatible with mouse and keyboard?
I attach a screenshot of my system

Hi there!
As it is written in the subject, the problem is related to the OTG feature of the Galaxy S2.

Same here with official ICS 4.0.3
I have the same issue with official ICS and CM9. I've seen youtube videos where they show mouse and keyboard just working on a GS2 just running official ICS.
As soon I see this, I tested it on my own SGS2 and it's works!
I'm using stock firmware LPW (open europe) with CF-Root.
I have had this problem too and I figured that this is problem with missing drivers in kernel (in my case) - it was firmware issue. Some firmwares (official) don't have all drivers necessary to work with all mouses and kayboards (some work some not). That's depends on how the kernel was compiled for firmware.
Try to install other firmware (official) or other kernel if you don't care about being 'stock' - maybe this will help.
Works using Siyah kernel.

A standard USB-HID keyboard works fine if it doesn't consume to much current.
Blue tooth mouse and keyboard works to you know.. Just sayin'
Actually its all depends on your USB otg cable. I have two but one doesn't work for mouse/keyboard but works only for pendrives. Another just work perfectly for pen drives and even mouse/keyboard. I am using stock 4.0.3 non rooted ROM.

Your keyboard probably does work, but needs more ampere than the phone can deliver.
I just tested my Note 2 with a USB keyboard connected directly and it didn't work,
but when I connected a USB hub with external power, the keyboard worked fine.
What should I buy?a usb OTG cable or a MHL cable? What's the difference between the two?

OTG cable is for connecting USB devices like mice or USB flash drives to your phone.
A MHL cable is for connecting your phone to a display with HDMI input like a TV or monitor.
So what you should buy really depends on what you want to use your cable for.
Hi guys,
I updated my Note 2 ( from Telus ) to 4.3 and now I can't get my PS3 controller to work anymore with my OTG cable. I worked before when I was using CleanROM 4.1. They something changed so that now it doesn't work anymore ? I tried to plug my wireless keyboard/mouse and I could move the cursor and type so my OTG cable is working good. I also tried with 2 differents controllers and mini-usb cables without success...
So does anyone here got a PS3 controller to work with their Note 2 on 4.3 ?
Thank you very much !
