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.

Is there a way to get midi input recognized on our phones? On my pc I use the rock band 3 keytar connected via a midi to usb adapter and I can do midi playback.
Is there a way to do this on our phones via an otg cable?
EDIT: got it done! check my post below.

it works beautifully and way easier than I expected.
connected my otg cable and the phone said usb connector connected (since when is this a thing!?), plugged in the midi-usb adapter to the otg cable and right away it prompted me to open with the software I linked above and another midi software I had installed.
and bam, it was working. I messed around a bit to find the better settings for my keytar, but this thing works. over Bluetooth and with the headphone plug. there's a little bit of lag over Bluetooth but for my uses I wanted it straight to the speaker so i'm using the stereo cable. now I don't need a pc to get sound out of the keytar.
mark this as one more day i'm amazed at what my phone can do.
by the way, it functions as a synth using the software I mentioned above, so I can play harpsichord, organ, piano, etc. and the sound keeps on playing even with the screen off.
happy camper = me.

Looks like you had some luck... Wondering if you can help me?
I am trying to make my Android, Huawei p20 Pro, accept a MIDI signal via USB too.
I have an OTG adapter, and have tested 2 OTG adapters and 2 cords.
All work into my PC (even via an USB type-C to standard USB adaptor )
The issue seems to be that I cannot select the USB in type to be MIDI.
I have also experienced that on another Samsung Galaxy S10
I have tried opening developer settings and changing the setting "Disable USB Audio Routing" ON as per https://help.joytunes.com/en/articles/2636638-troubleshoot-midi-on-your-android-device
I have tried using it with 3 apps that accept MIDI.
Simple Piano by Joy Tunes, FlowKey and USB MIDI Monitor
Any ideas?
Environment
Huawei p20 Pro
Model: CLT-L29

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.

Hi everyone,
I've searched all over but can't find the answer. I've used the sixaxis app on many devices before. It doesn't seem to work on the tab s, and I believe it is because newer Samsung devices are missing a certain Bluetooth protocol.
My goal is to connect two PS3 controllers to the Tab S to play emulated games (nes, snes n64,etc.)
Does anyone have any information on how to get it working? Thanks!

I tried all the tricks I know, to no avail, it's really hard to make it work, unless you're willing to do it 'oldschool' style, wired via OTG.
we managed to do this in samsung tab 3 before, 2 PS3 controllers for 2 player fighting games, dunno, seems like we have bluetooth compatibility issues as the PS3 bluetooth is already outdated.
let's here other chime in
what ? sixaxis controller works perfectly on my tab s 10.5 :v no issue . even with wire
Works on my 8.4 too.. have you tried the compatibility checker first ? It only worked after I used it once

you dont need to install that app , just set the host IP for the controller and play . that's all
Well, like I said, didn't work until I tried that. Can't tell why though, never had too before. But I tried it since I remember a while ago, sense and touchwizz used to be not compatible with sixaxis app

ok, wait...so are both of u guys saying that u have a PS3 controller working through BLUETOOTH with the tab S?! If so then could one of u please provide a screenshot as proof and describe your connection method...did u use the pc program or bond with an otg cable through the sixaxis app then pair and what version of the sixis app are u using? Also..are u using original oem sony controllers or ebay branded ones? :confused

@better33
to answer all of the basic questions...yes i'm rooted & yes i've used the app before successfully most recently on the tab pro 8.4 . i really need the above questions i posed to the poster above answered...also as @sku|| suggested i doubt if the compatibility checker helps but yes i've tried that too. Thx for the screenshot though...are u using original sony controllers and more importantly what version of the sixaxis app are u using?
Like I said, it wasn't working the first time, so I downloaded the compatibility checker since I remember there used to be issues with touchwizz, and it said it was compatible. I'm using the official ps3 controller. Are you root ?
Forgot to say, I connected the controller on my computer to change the master address and then connected it through Bluetooth

Im using 2 official controllers here, one that came with the ps3 that I used on my tab 7.7 with no issues (bluetooth) . And another aftermarker pink controller that I also used with no issues with tab 7.7. Only thing devious and I have in common might be our custom rom which he compiled
I tried connecting it through PC and change the mac address via sixaxis changer. Installed the compatibility checker and eas advised that it's compatible. Bought the sixaxis app. And.. boom. Stuck at 'listening to controllers'. I'll give it a shot once again

I'm having the same issue in my rooted Tab s 10.5. I changed the master to my tablet, then the tablet never sees the controller. Any luck?
Uhhh. Dunno what I did but.. it worked.
Heres what I remembered.
Uninstalled sixaxis.
Downloaded compatibility checker and run
-hooked up my controller via otg and manually typed my bluetooth MAC
Installed Sixaxis
-tried pairing via OTG. Disconnect cable and tried pairing via BT: unsuccessful
*frustrated*
Killed app compatibility checker
Killed app sixaxis
Reopened sixaxis
Clicked change IME - list of keyboard appeared. Tapped sixaxis
Clicked start. It connected.
Mine is :
1. Have a DS3 controller
2. Have a cable and OTG
3. Connect DS3 via OTG
4. Open sixaxis controller app ( v0.7.4)
5. Tap PAIR
6. Disconnect the controller
7. Change IME
8. Tap Start and connect with DS3
9. Done

Actually I remember doing that too (changing the IME BEFORE looking for devices), maybe that's why it worked for me. I'm on the last stock French rom, can't tell you more I'm at work without the tab.

Hi everyone,
Thanks for all the feedback! I am trying very hard to replicate the steps, but I still can't get past the "Listening for controllers" status.
Can anyone please delete all of the six axis settings, and post detailed step by steps from scratch?
Also, I noticed my bluetooth button isn't lit up (indicating that it is on) when I start Sixaxis. And when I try to turn it on, it doesn't.
Thanks for your help!!

Wait, you guys are right.... it is totally random, but I got it working! This time, I did retype the bluetooth address manually and clicked pair (even though it looked the same). Then, it still didn't work. Then I tried it with my regular swiftkey input, and it connected! Then I switched it to six axis.
This was the reason I bought the tablet, so THANK YOU guys for the help (even though we are still kind of puzzled )
I got another simpler method that works, so far so good,
-Force close all sixaxis apps (compatibility checker and sixaxis)
-at the back of the controller, there's a reset button, insert anything small enough and reset it
-connect the controller to your device via OTG
-run sixaxis controller app
-tap pair, then tap pair (the one on pop up)[ensure the bluetooth address is correct]
-disconnect OTG
-turn the controller on
-tap Start.
and there you have it.
edit:
and it will not work again as soon as you paired your device to your Samsung Gear LOL..
what you need to do, after using your Samsung Gear, disconnect it, reboot your device and follow the instructions above, it will sync once again

I got it working perfectly yesterday, but couldn't get it today. I tried your steps over and over again, but no luck!
Any way you can post a video? I will be very thankful to the person who can get this working for me! It is frustrating that it worked yesterday flawlessly with two controllers, but only after hours of messing with it (and it isn't working today!)

I was about to edit my post for the nth time LOl. Sad to say. I does not work again. I was simply lucky that I managed to do it 3 times in a row. Now. It simply doesnt pair. Could be something messing with the bluetooth becuase once you get it to pair initially. Even if you reboot, it would still pair. But once you connect your device to another bluetooth device such as headset/gear. BT will forget the sixaxis profile and you'll have trouble syncing it again. I'm close to giving up. I'm simply using it with USB OTG just to satisfy my game-cravings. Hope the others who got it working chime in once again if they manage to pair it all the time.
