Hello. My problem is basically the title, i recently got a galaxy a5 2017, and its working perfectly except for one thing which is the ps3 controller (not wireless), it's not detected at all, i'm using the otg "cable" that comes with the galaxy s7 and it doesn't detect it, both the otg cable and the controller work 100%. It should also be noted that i had the same problem using an SM-A500H, and the complete opposite on a galaxy S3 (it's working perfectly). I've tried the sixaxis methods but it's still not working. Any idea what might be causing this and how to fix it? Thanks!
UPDATE: The problem comes from the otg cable, the galaxy A5 doesn't detect it for some reason
My fist tought was how do you plug in S7 micro usb to A5 type-c, and then I realised. U must be usin an adapter. Duh, I'm a dumbass. My question is, does anything else works with it? Like flash drive or keyboard etc...
Well i just tried to connect it with a flash drive, same problem lol
Update: it appears the problem doesn't come from the controller but rather the otg cable, for some reason it doesn't work on the galaxy A5

If it's the wireless one: It could use a driver that GS2 don't has or it's recognized as a high-power device, in the last case though the phone should print a warning...
I bought a original Samsung USB OTG Cable for my Samsung Galaxy S3 from online store ( shopsection.com ) , can anyone post tips and tricks about it.
according to my testing, Most of all USB devices can access
1- Amazing cable, it works perfect in Galaxy S II, Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note
2- Connect pendrive 2GB, 4GB, 8Gb, 16GB and access files , documents, songs, movies instant from your S3
3- Like to draw anything without C-Pen stylus? connect USB mouse and draw anything u want as like in computer mouse cursor
4- feeling touch to type on touch screen? connect USB keyboard via OTG cable and start typing SMS and Emails.
5- Does your friends running out of battery ?, connect their mobile with their usb data cable to OTG cable and get charged
6- Also if your friend give access for "Mass storage" access his files from his mobile phone
7- want to take instant printout from your S 3, connect printer USB to OTG cable and give a shot
Article from other websites about OTG cable,
- Remote Access your mobile using Data modem
- support PS3 controller
also if anyone has more tips and tricks for this OTG cable, kindly post it. so thrilled to enjoy its benefits.
I heard also Xbox 360 wired remotes work as well
I have a chinese non-oem OTG cable and works fine with pretty much every USB devide I have (usb memories, keyboard, mouse). I havent tried game remotes or a printer.
Not as amazing as the adapter Samsung will be releasing whenever they can be bothered because it will use the full 11 pins and allow MHL and other accessories simultaneously, but like always they take so long releasing accessories people just get pissed off while they waiting.
Yes Micheal 100% acceptable. only advantage for OTG cable was they launched long back after few months from Galaxy SII. But same cable we are using it for Galaxy Note and Galaxy SIII. But we are really worried for Flip Cover launch for SIII. it took nearly 2 weeks time from SIII mobile launch.
There are plenty of local manufacturers releasing case and covers and even OTG cable. only this guy has the original samsung OTG cable in India shopsection.com/item/USB_Host_OTG_Cable_for_Samsung_Galaxy_S_3 for sale with offer price.

You need MHL cable to connect HDMI to Tv and you can't connect over Mass Storage mode to Tv, Car etc because Samsung in their wisdom decided not to include it, and I know iPhone has things like blood pressure and heart rate monitors you can connect but never heard of it on Android, but it's possible to create a driver to connect pretty much anything with a USB port to Android.

I myself tested most of features and its working as i said. Not sure what is problem with your flashdrive, but mine everything works. format your memory card and test it again.
bought it from https://www.shopsection.com/item/USB_Host_OTG_Cable_for_Samsung_Galaxy_S_3
Its original samsung accessories and you get 6 months warranty. so you can claim if any issues after 2 months. I believe only these guys selling Samsung S3 original products like flip cover and stylus pen in India

Does anybody know if arduino is doing anything with this? It would be awesome if you could edit and upload arduino sketches using an android phone and an otg cable.

The first thing that you need to check is how your thumb drive is formatted. I haven't tried a thumb drive on my SIII yet but on Atrixs I've evaluated they could only interface with FAT thumb drives. NTFS wouldn't work. You should also try a different model of thumb drive, I don't know about the power requirements but it might just be too high.
USB On The Go cable awareness not upto the level. Samsung must advertise about their accessories too as like Nokia. OTG cable is really useful to access files instant. but i wonder why its only suitable for very few models and since Galaxy Y is also has update android firmware.
anybody tried OTG cable other than S III?

I think the external hard drives will only work if you use a usb port multiplier with a external power source. Dont quote me on that though!

I have actually try plugin my external hard drive with 2 headed USB cable, one connects to the USB OTG cable, one end connects to a USB port for power, and it still doesn't work.
It would be nice if it would work though.
All the supported devices worked with my Note earlier. My USB storage, a pen drive formatted to FAT32 also mounted well. I had a good time exploring the Note as a cool mini PC connecting my keyboard and mouse until recently.
Now the OTG connector is ONLY detected with a notification saying "USB connector connected" but nothing happens after that. I am aware that power is available across the cable since my brother's Galaxy Ace starts charging and the LED symbol on my Razer mouse lights up but there is no activity on the Ace except charging and my mouse won't work.
I have tried USB Host Utilities and stickmount from d great developer but doesn't that doesn't help but increases my concern.
Has someone faced similar issues? Someone help please..
Lovin' the N7000
Does the normal data cable work when you connect to a PC ?
If not then you might need to carefully clean your data port.
Yup that works perfectly fine except for the usual Hardware ID missing error on the PC..
Lovin' the N7000
That's my cable which I bought for a dollar.

Call me racist but they all look alike to me!
Its probable that the cable is damaged. Just my two cents.
USB On The Go/ OTG not working, help.
I have a note n7000 on ICS 4.0 and am a first time android user, bought the phone a week back.
I tried using an 8gb flashdrive with an OTG cable. it didnt recognize the flashdrive at all, though it showed that a USB
cable has been connected.
Next i tried a 4gb flashdrive. It did recognize it but didnt show it in the "my files" list. notification says "usb storage is
empty or un-recognized format or such"
I installed the "USB host controller " app, that did'nt help. I tried to format the 4gb flashdrive in FAT32 with 1024 cluster
size and quick format mode, that didnt help either. I have attached the screenshots from the app.
i dont wish to loose warranty, and have never fiddled with drivers of android device before.
thanks a lot folks.

I got the cable checked at the vendor. he could play a micro sd card via a card reader through the same cable and also a keyboard.
Also what does "s3c usb host driver not found" mean?
now?

Are you on custom ROM?

Should Work!
I am using the N7100 and I have faced no issues yet...your cable should be fine...if in FAT32, will read automatically...if NTFS, use a program called paragon NTFS...running stock ROM and custom kernel...
otg cable works on note 2....
hello friends,,when i bought note 2 almost two months ago i used same otg cable which i was using on galaxy s2 but after updating note 2 when i attached otg cable it just shows "usb connector connected" and doest not read the flash drive,,i searched a lot on the internet for solution but didn't found anything and then flashed many different roms to check out if there is any problem with the rom,,but same result..so today i bought a new otg cable superior than first one,,so i attached it and it works prefectly,,i have tested flash drive,,keyboard mouse all works smoothly..
So at last i concluded that there is difference in otg cables may be it is in the pins structure of the adapter of the cable,,some of the cables which works on the previous galaxy devices does not works on the current galaxy devices,,so when you choose a otg cable make it confirm it is the latest build which is compatible with your device..
thanx...
Well.... hi everyone
It's been a long time since i wrote in english xD... so sry if I make any mistake.
The problem:
I got a HDTV MHL adapter... It is original and its for s3 as far as i know it should work for the note 2... i tried tons of times to connect my GT- N7100 to my smartv and didnt work, then tried on a 3d Bravia and nothing... Yes, I connected the adapter to the power - HDMI - Device and the note starts to charge but no msj is shown... also i tried the HDMI cable with my laptop and runs perfect.
Too late but I started to read a little about any issue about it and find out it might be an issue with the root... rooted phones doesnt run mhl properly and before i run the unroot and loose all those things that didnt cost me anything but time i want to be sure
So 1st I want to know if theres any rooted person with the mhl hdtv working
Or any rooted user has found a way to make it work
Thank you very very very much
Hi there,
I have a rooted n7100 and using an MHL adapter and it works fine.
I tried several MHL adapter and this is the only adapter to work as far as i know
http://www.amazon.com/Skiva-Samsung...TF8&qid=1372308885&sr=8-1&keywords=mhl+note+2
I have used XNote Rom, Moon Rom, ARHD Rom and they all work
does your adapter have the mini cable that is specifically for the note 2?
When i plug in the cable it shows on my phone "HDMI Output" or something like that.
I know what your saying that the phone charges, it just means that the cable you are using is not for the note 2
I am rooted and use my MHL adapter all the time...no issues. I am running a stock rom.
Hi guys, do you know any cable/adapter that has all these ports?
I'd charge my tablet while I've a pendrive inserted into it and connect all via hdmi to a monitor/tv.
Did anyone try something like this? I'd like that all ports work all together at the same time.

Something like this? It has USB in, although I'm not sure if that's for pass through charging or just device inputs...

I have one of these and it works with Note 10.1 2014 - to some degree.
Basically HDMI and USB work - at the same time.
I can connect my tablet to external screen and use USB mouse, keyboard and flash drive (through USB Hub) all at the same time.
But... USB connection is kinda unstable - devices disconnect occasionally and then reconnect.
Also, charging doesn't work at all.
On my Note2 everything works OK - I guess Samsung changed something either on connector or in software in Note 10...
