DIY OTG USB Host Cable (Keyboard and Mouse)

Few of these threads have been made, but not sure if anyone has shown OTG USB host cable work with USB dongle supporting a bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
I followed this scheme to connect the 4th pin ID to the 5th pin ground. The rest was very simple.

Let me know if you have any questions

I think there was a thread related to this matter already : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1070573&highlight=otg

That thread doesn't use a bluetooth dongle. Instead, it uses the built in bluetooth feature of the phone to connect to a bluetooth keyboard and mouse without using the OTG host usb. That's why I wanted to try it this way and see if it worked.

OTG cable
If i use OTG cable for my NOVO 7 paladin(tablet with Android Version 4.0.1) or Xperia ARC(Android version 2.3.4), can it support to my external USB device(like printer)?

Why don't you want to use the built in BT? Surely then you can output to a big screen or charge the phone.

mouse and keyboard also not detected by XPERIA ARC.

I don't have OTG cable?
Is OTG cable is required?
observation: Using USB HOST Controller Software(Available in Android market)
1) For NOVO 7 Paladin : USB HOST MODE is ACTIVE
:Keyboard, mouse not detected
2) For XPERIA ARC : USB HOST MODE not available or not Active
:Keyboard, mouse not detected

OTG doesn't work

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?

Xperia S 4.1 Jellybean LiveDock + USB on the Go

Hi, since the new jellybean update i can't hook my keyboard and mouse to the xperia s. I've been using the live Dock for this. But it doesn't recognize any input.
Can somebody try it with a standard usb-on the go cable?

Livedock is working, but it seems Mouse and Keyboard Support was dropped with Jellybean.
I always used my logitech mouse and keyboard combo and my xperia s as a media center.

Dropped? Impossible
I will check later with my keyboard and mouse, but I still have the mouse/trackpad speed setting in the language & input menu after updating to JB
UPDATE: Yeah, both keyboard and mouse work in JB using a standard usb otg cable. Must be a LiveDock thing.

What mouse and keyboard do you have? I'm using a Logitech Unified Wirless Keyboard and Mouse which worked on ICS with Livedock.
Is there any other solution besides the soyn livedock, to use keyboard and mouse while simulatenously charge the phone?

Live dock isn't recognized by the phone since the ICS Update, but i can use it to charge the phone while using a usb stick. The Phone now only rotates to landscape when the hdmi calbe is connected.
But its u bummer that my USB Keyboard+Mouse doesn't work anymore.

Sony DK10 LiveDock™ multimedia station works just fine as I see it.
I have tested it on an XPERIA LT26i v4.1.2 with 6.2.B.0.200 ROM with DoomKernel v1 on the following devices:
Aten 4 port USB switch
SanDisk 32GB USB FAT32 flash drive
SDcard/USB card reader
Targus 7 port USB powered hub
Old Dell wireless keyboard
Logitech mouse(non-unifying)
USB non-powered hub.
WD 320GB HDD (FAT32) via Targus powered USB hub.
Canon USB printer
All the above work while powering the phone with one(only) storage device connected at any given time.
A lot of keyboards and mouse(s) may work too, including Logitech mouse(s)/keyboards... just not 2.4GHz Logitech Unifying receivers.
Logitech Unifying receivers and Sony 6.2.B.0.200 ROM do not seem to play well together at the moment.
There is a new firmware release 6.2.B.0.211 coming soon, so fingers crossed this improves things.
The reason I sound so hopeful is that the Logitech Unifying Receiver does show up as a connected device and it doesn't create an error in doing so.
@DooMLoRD did indicate he would look at what options are available to get the back and middle context menu buttons working again on mice, as they stopped working in ICS onwards. Respect, if he can pull that one off. :victory:

Could it be because you where using DoomKernel? I'm on locked Bootloader and Stock Jellybean. I don't have those Options like in your screenshot.

It is possible.
I know I checked my DK10 LiveDock using a leaked 6.2.B.0.197 ROM without any modified kernel and nothing worked with only an error.
I was testing my Unifying USB mouse at the time as I was hoping against all hope, it'd work and we'd have back and context buttons...alas, I was disappointed.
I seem to remember then, just plugging in a SanDisk 32GB flash drive directly into the DK10 LiveDock on it's one USB port as a sanity test and that worked on a leaked ROM(but I could be wrong).
So then I just ignored my DK10 LiveDock until the official Sony 6.2.B.0.200 ROM came out.
Under normal operation, my DK10 LiveDock is connected to an Aten 4-Port USB switch as the first hop which is then farmed out(when device selected) to over 15 USB 2.0 ports which only takes one port to have a NTFS storage device and the whole thing goes pear-shape.
As an aside @DooMLoRD has listed NTFS MicroUSB port support in his Kernel too.
So, before I installed DoomKernel v1.0 which was only minutes after I installed 6.2.B.0.200 I'd not isolated the DK10 LiveDock and done a controlled test.
I only did a controlled test after DoomKernel v1 was installed, that's why I have an eclectic list of devices which I have tested and seen to work with the DK10 LiveDock.
When I installed the next Sony 6.2.B.0.211 ROM I'll update this post with my finding on the DK10 LiveDock before I install DooMKernel as I too, would like to see the Logitech Unifying mouse/keyboard working.

Just tried using my mouse and keyboard with an otg adapter and yep it no longer works for me too. The phone doesnt even show an error it just does nothing

There is a huge list of growing bugs in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2303276
Lets add our problem to that..

Sony DK10 LiveDock™ multimedia station
As promised, I have installed Sony 6.2.B.0.211 with root access, BUT no DoomKernel at this time.
I have not even done the first reboot after installing
Sony 6.2.B.0.211 fw.
I am able to connect and use the Sony DK10 LiveDock™ multimedia station.
The DK10 LiveDock™ multimedia station also powers my phone.
The DK10 LiveDock™ multimedia station is working with the following devices I have tested.
Aten 4 port USB switch
SanDisk 32GB USB FAT32 flash drive
Targus 7 port USB powered hub
Logitech mouse(non-unifying)
USB non-powered hub.
Directly connected to the DK10 dock, is an Aten 4 port USB 2.0 switch (which is display as a connected device) which is then connected to a Targus 7 port USB 2.0 hub.
As a giggle, an additional 4 port USB 2.0 non-power hub is just plugged into the Targus 7 port hub with a 32GB flash drive attached and that works.
I also have two Dell 24" IPS monitors with USB ports which all work in this melee.
This gives a combination of over 16+ USB ports connected/daisy-chained off the Sony DK10 LiveDock™ multimedia station and they all seem to be available.
Logitech 2.4GHz Unifying Mouse/keyboard still does NOT work!!!!
The Logitech 2.4GHz adapter is still shown as connected AND there is no noted errors related to this adapter when plugged in or removed.
Summary
With or without DoomKernel provided by @DooMLoRD the DK10 works and powers the phone on an XPERIA LT26i using Sony 6.2.B.0.211 fw.
Logitech 2.4GHz wireless Unifying adapters for Mouse/Keyboard still don't work.

PS3 controller on 4.3

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 !

[Q] Gamepad, game controller

Anyone tried to setup a controller on the tablet? I just purchased a moga power pro controller but I wa unable to set it up. It is workig fine with my S4 and the bluetooth works on the tablet becase I managed to connect the phone to the tablet via bluetooth.
Does anyone know how to setup the controller or becase it is a 3rd party device the access blocked?

Are you just trying to connect via bluetooth? I haven't done this in a long time (way back on my Xoom) but I thought you needed a 3rd party app and Root access to link them.
Someone confirm? Would love to play Soulcraft II - with a gamepad.

Moga has an app can be downloaded from the play store (moga pivot) and yes it uses bluetooth. This should work without root. If you google moga is a big name which should work on android 2.3 and above. I think the reason is samsung which is now blocking all 3rd part devices from 4.4.2 but I am not sure. I think the only option left is the samsung gamepad..

Not for $100 bucks. That's plain crazy

I use an OTG cable and PS4 controller.

It just supports it. Yes I have rooted but I have 3 Tab Pros as well that are not rooted and it works just fine on them as well. It also worked on my Tab S before I rooted. OTG is always supported on android devices.

Did you have to download any apps for button management?

I use my ps3 controller as gamepad with an adapter and it's working flawlessly. I've tested it with Dead Trigger 2 and Rayman Fiesta Run.

If anyone gets a wired xbox controller to work, please let us know what you did. I was totally just hoping it was going to work and it doesn't. (at least for me). I just get a blinking light on the xbox controller. I have the 10.5.
I even rooted and installed USB/BT JoystickCenter Gold Demo but then that gets a 'can not get access to /dev/uinput error'

Thanks so much for suggesting something but I'm too anxious to try it, since that thread says it's only for the SM-T700 (8.4") and I have the 10.5". He even specifically states it in post #3.

Has anyone been able to get the sixaxis app working? I can't... I believe it has to do with a missing Samsung Bluetooth protocol in newer Samsung devices.
That was one of my main reasons for getting a tablet!

Not that it matters but I emailed Samsung support and their response: Thank you for contacting Samsung. I see that you would like to know whether Galaxy Tab S supports hooking up to a wired xbox USB controller. I do understand your concern and requirement. However, this Tablet does not support wired xbox USB controller. Unfortunately, as of now theere are no compatible controllers that use an USB OTG cable for this model from Samsung and Samsung does not have any tested results on using PS3 controller with the Tablet. I hope the above provided information address your concern.

controller recharges the tablet
is it possible to connect the controller (that has a battery pack) to the tablet and recharge the tablet?
eg. can a xbox one controller, that has a battery pack, be connected with an mhl cable/usb cable to a tablet and be used to charge the tablet? so the tablet is not drained while playing games.
(i asked this in the accessories forum too, apologies)

Thanks for the info! I just ordered an otg cable. Are you able to get two controllers working with the six axis app, or just one? My goal is to be able to use emulators with two Wireless PS3 controllers. Thanks!

I tried that, but the Galaxy Tab won't find the controllers. I've set it up on multiple devices, but couldn't get it working on this one.
I read that the newer Samsung devices don't come with a Bluetooth protocol that is required for sixaxis to work... I hope I'm wrong!
