Anyone get USB on-the-go (HOST) working

The European SGII does USB hosting with the proper adapter. I ordered this one
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005GGBYJ4
nothing happens when I connect my phone to a FAT 32 formatted thumb drive. The thumb drive works in my Acer Iconia.
I wonder if I got a bad adapter or if Sprint disabled On-The-Go.

I can't seem to get it working either. Anyone know a way to enable it. I really wanted this phone for this feature.

from what I've seen on youtube the "host" message pops up as soon as the cable is plugged in. No enabling required. These were all European SGSII though. Samsung's own Epic 4G touch claims it works
http://www.samsung.com/us/article/tips--tricks-epic-4g-touch#CLIP

No host for Sprint & TMO
Client only per PDADB.net
AT&T will get the OTG host capabilities.

WHAT! WTF. That means the samsung site is wrong or Sprint actually went out of their way to disable this feature.

There has to be a way to re-enable it like what was done on the HTC HD2. I hope the source proves useful in providing the solution to unlock the feature which is advertised.

The review model AnandTech had appeared to have USB host working ... so if it doesn't work on store models, it should be a firmware issue.
Note that I don't have an E4GT, I'm just thinking with you.
If on the E4GT, you can find "DSLR Controller" in the market, at least the firmware reports that it is supporting USB host ... (if it doesn't, the app will not show up in Market)

Thanks for the issue. How difficult would it be for someone to work on a firmware modification? What does it entail? Where would one start?

crap. that was also one of the main points i decided to upgrade. also i had just moments before ordered that same USB host...

DSLR Controller beta shows up in the market from my phone.

Well then, as I said, the phone is actually reporting to Google that it does support USB host. Maybe they made some other mistake ? The Xoom on Android 3.1 has the same issue, USB host only half works (fixed in 3.2)
EDIT: Also, have you considered bad cables? I have read recently a lot of these OTG cables are pretty crappy and may not work. Note that popping in just the OTG cable without anything attached should already flash a notification at you (though the actual popup only happens when you connect a device)

yes I considered it.
my original post "I wonder if I got a bad adapter or if Sprint disabled On-The-Go."
I have another cable on the way so I will rule it out. It would still be nice to see if only me and JAmerican have this issue, Is it disabled? Did we get broken phones?

I doubt our phones are defective. I believe Sprint disabled the feature. The cable I have works because I used it on my Treo 800w and had no problems.

Just tried the cable and drive in a E4GT demo in a Sprint store. No host message.

Samsung shows USB Host support here:
(sorry, cant post outside links, yet)
samsung.com/us/article/tips--tricks-epic-4g-touch#USB
I have five different OTG cables, none work. Must be a firmware issue.
I do have three SGSII OTG cables.
Update: Just emailed Samsung Support... We wait...

If host is disabled (and it looks that way) I doubt there is anything we can do about it. There is NO mention of USB Host on any Sprint website or publication. It does look like the hardware is capable so maybe someone will grab the European drivers and roll them into a flashable update.

I fear that Samsung will just remove it from their site and deny such a feature exists on the Sprint version.

there could be hope http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265429&page=18

I believe that Sprint/Samsung disabled this feature because when I checked the Samsung website it showed the micro USB to USB cable and from one day to another (the supported devices) changed from the Epic 4G touch to the Att and T-Mobile variants

RJ45 USB will it work ?

Will the USB Connector support a USB RJ45?
I guess a driver will be needed
Reason for asking is because i need a tablet that i can wire up and i want to get the Tab 10.1

I would love to see this work too.

It does not support RJ45 adapter for internet.

HUMMM, not sure if i am willing to accept that..
It must be a way we can make it happen.

If you need to connect to a RJ45 jack, I suggest getting a "LAN to WiFi Hotspot" Adapter like the LogiLink Wireless LAN Mini AP Router. You can get one for about 22€ and it's a great, little travel device for use in hotels that only offer internet via LAN. For me that's a much more convenient solution than trying to put my tablet on a leash.

I'm not sure that we can dismiss this that easily?
the drivers exist for android as shown for the asus / honeycomb 3.2

I have ordered the USB adapter and am currently looking for one of the listed supported usb to ethernet devices hopefully will be testing this before the end of next week on both domestic and commercial networks.

Not to my knowledge, so that is why i am thinking if i can take the usb host Adapter and connect a usb RJ45...

Ok I habe two usb to ethernet adapters one shows as a high powered device and the other as an unknown device.
Speaking to my local linux expert he says the kernel I have has some axis drivers built in and I need to either get that exact adapter or a kernel which doesn't have drivers already built in so I can insert my own.
So not lost yet but the battle continues.

These work well for lan connections in hotels:-
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Zoom-3G-Wireless-N-Travel-Router/dp/B002SXMH12
R

If you're talking about hotels and such (NOT corporate, where WiFi will face policy issues) -
Almost any cheap wifi router will work if you need to bridge a hardwire LAN. Honest, for the cost you're spending on hardware and headache... $25 for a cheap router and you're done.
Just remember - if you plan to actually bridge them (plugging the LAN into the PC ports, NOT the cablemodem port as you'd do at home), remember to turn off the router's DHCP before doing so.

This is what i needed! Ordering USB addon to my Tab and a usb rj45, and when all is received its time for some kernel playing!!
Will keep this tread updated

Final update on this one, we have had it working using the Samsung 30 pin to USB and a Axis USB to ethernet dongle.
This worked on version 3.1 as the driver from the asus transformer thread was written for that kernel when we updated to 3.2 it all went wrong.
Recently i have been doing some work with Samsung mobility and they have escalated this to the researchers in Korea they removed the support on purpose from the standard 3.2 rom as there was a feeling it wasn't required.
However they are currently looking at if they can include it in the ICS release and are also looking at how complicated it is to create us a dock which has a Ethernet port built in given i want to get 250 galaxies working on a wired connection. Obviously if they create it for us they would also release it for general sale in some way which would be a massive win for the galaxy and the potential for use within the IT industry.

@Banathe, can you tell Me how it went with Samsung mobility. I have the same situation. Client wants some about 300 devices, but also wants the ability to access LAN (to configure TV boxes through tablet, and this can be done only by LAN cable). Can You tell me exactly with which tablet and adapter You managed to have a connection and what is a result of Your research?

OnePlus One and HDMI - MHL, Slimport, none?

Does anyone know if the OPO supports HDMI output either via MHL or SlimPort?
I have a monoprice MHL 2.0 adapter that used to work with my LG phone. Does not seem to work with my OnePlus. I am wondering if it supports SlimPort before I go out and buy one.

Good question

it was confirmed that the oneplus one does not support Mhl or Slim Port, only miracast unfortunately.

****

Still worth it though

The Oneplus one does not even have a ir thingy correct?

I asked a tech support about the TV out and screen mirroring and this was his reply
thank you for contacting the Technical Support of ONE PLUS, I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you. TV OUT is supported through some 3rd party cables. Screen mirroring is also supported by ONE.
Should you require any further information, Please do let me know

Tried three different MHL adapters. None worked with my 1+1.

I have two MHL adapters from Monoprice, I will try them later tonight when I get home and report back.
I have MHL to HDMI with RCP/CEC Android 4.0+ - Black (http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=108&cp_id=10833&cs_id=1083314&p_id=10022&seq=1&format=2) and this one Micro USB to HDMI® MHL Adapter - Black (http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=108&cp_id=10833&cs_id=1083314&p_id=8675&seq=1&format=2)

I thought it was confirmed that the OPO doesn't even have a MHL enabled connector?

I know it doesn't have MHL, because it doesn't work with mine. I am wondering if it works with Slimport.

Has anyone tried Miracast? http://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B00HFAEBWG
I want to get it but just wondering if anyone tried it.

No TV out in OPO over the USB connector! Only wireless with miracast and rooted with chromecast too

Samsung all share cast works too. Have it on my car for my appradio 3. The only problem is, I havnet figured out how to get out of app radio mode short of pulling the HDMI cable.

Yes Miracast does work to Chromecast. Im rooted and running that withkut any problems. Still have to test out those MHL adapters.

Today I will receive my One and I will test screen mirroring with Roku 3.

Would a OnePlus 3 USB Type-C OTG adapter work for OnePlus 2?

Been trying to get the damn OTG thing to work, but no luck. After a lot of searching around XDA forums, among other places, came to the realisation that only the official OnePlus MicroUSB to Type-C adapter supports OTG. Too bad they don't sell them anymore and I can't find any elsewhere online.
They do sell a newer version for the OP3 on their online store and I was wondering if that would work too. I ask because I've already got a thousand cables and adapters I've tried that didn't work, so I don't wanna drop any more cash on this.
Tried to contact OP support and they didn't really seem to understand what I wanted and just said it would work "because it's USB Type-C". Yeah, so were all the other damn cables I bought.
TL;DR: Would a OnePlus 3 USB Type-C OTG adapter work for OnePlus 2?
UPDATE: Original Xiaomi USB Type-C to Micro USB Adapter works.

Hi!
My bro had a 1+2, he bought an USB cable Type-C OTH from OnePlus store... he had tried to connect an USB several times, but it doesn't work :'(

OK awesome, so basically stay the f*** away from OP in the future is the lesson here.

Hi there, in my fourth purchase of OTG have purchased a fully compatabile one for my OP2. I am finally able to connect with out any issues. I have purchased it from Indian ebay for ₹68/- only. But works like a champ. The model or company name is MX in caps written on the OTG which is black in colour.

usb otg
When i bought my OnePlus 2 i purchased the microusb otg cable and the microusb to type c adapter and have no issues with it working. it could be a a possible compatibility issue or maybe the rom you're on doesn't support otg.

Hello. I'm from India too. I'm not finding any product branded as MX. I would really appreciate if you can share the link form where you bought it.
Thanks in advance

SGS9/+ OTG and HDMI Out Simultaneously?

Hello,
We're in the market for phone upgrades. I currently have a Pixel XL and my spouse still has his Nexus 5x. We're giving some thought to the SGS9+, if we can find a BOGO type deal as TMO did several times last year. While they aren't that exciting, I do like the addition of Samsung Pay that works with any strip reader and some of the other features (though we aren't completely sold on it yet).
We're traveling and typically bring a streaming stick which works in most places. But the internet in our current place is just too show so it doesn't work at all. We happened to have an external hard drive with some media files on it but we're currently having to use a Windows laptop to run the files since the stuck doesn't have a USB in.
I'm wondering if it's possible to use the SGS9+ as an OTG to read the external hard drive while using the HDMI out at the same time? Can I charge too? Would some sort of a USB C dock work for this? Or something else? Thanks so much in advance!

Maybe to late of a reply, but i think your refering to the samsung dex pad. It has 2 usb ports, 1 hdmi out, ethernet. Phone connects to dock via usb c. Kind of expensive tho $99. You can also buy a generic version that does the same thing on amazon for $30. It doesnt look as pretty, but functionality is the same.
