Yes but first u need to enable OTG connection option in settings>additional settings>OTG connection
I don't know why, but I couldn't get it to work on my Realme X for some reason (even after turning on OTG connection option on settings). It works fine on my friend's Galaxy A7.

how to make defy look like a usbstick to any device.
i want some kind of emulator so my defy looks like a 2gb usb stick!!
Just connect to a pc with the data cable and select memory card access when asked for the type of usb conenction, it should get detected and act like a normal pen drive.
What device are u trying to use it with?

I have a Samsung 42" plasma with USB port and it read my HDD and all my thumb-drives to play movies/Pics/musics. Never thought of trying with my Defy. Will certainly try this out today.
If the device supports mass storage host protocol then I dont see as to why it wont. My LCD recognises the defy without a problem.

well yes normal usb sicks do work. hmmm i will test it some more.
If this is possible it would be very useful. I could put a bookable ubuntu on my phone and boot pc's from that instead of carrying a pendrive everywhere.
ow and im on Cm7
just enable usb mass storage in notification area

I DID and it did not work
hmm.... maybe just a little disclaimer in case it needs to be said: when enabling USB mass storage, the only storage system that can be seen from the defy is the one on the micro SD card.
So, if you don't have one, i'm pretty sure nothing would happen even if you connect it properly

I got a sdcard. it works on my pc normaly
In that case, i think it's time to think about using another feature that came with the phone: warranty

There might be some issue in the device u are trying to connect to. Even in my pc i have usb issues. Some specific pen drives just randomly wont work on my pc. Just my 2 cents.
I bought this usb adapter with have on one side micro USB and on other standard USB and I tried to connect PC mouse with my phone but the phone didnt reconize that i connect mouse with it.
Can you tell me what to do?
Let me get this right maybe I read wrong are you trying to connect phone to your pc to either transfer files flash roms etc or are you trying to connect a computers mouse to your phone? If its the second one as far as I know you can't connect a mouse to a phone with a usb, phones don't have the software or drivers to do this and to be honest why would you want to.You can on the other hand use your phone over wifi as a mouse to control your pc or even Xbox with the right software many apps in the market for this.
i want to connect pc mouse with my phone and it IS possible. if u dont belive check youtube or google it. Its possible to connect keyboard and controller too.

It is possible. It is called USB On-The-Go.
OP: Does mouse appear on the screen? What firmware and kernel are you using?
im using stock. i dont see and mouse cursor cuz it dont detect that mouse is connected. For USB OTG u need rooted phone and i didnt root it yet. And i noticed that you can burn phones motherboard if u using this for i dont know how long.

Incorrect, incorrect.
USB OTG does not require rooted phone. USB OTG is a fully implemented script for SE devices, as it has official support from Sony aswell (*cough* LiveDock *cough*).
Also, mouse only requires minimum amount of power, so there is very small chance of burning your SoC (system-on-chip). If you want to use external HDD, then it would be whole other story, but mouse shouldn't be a problem at all.
AW: Mouse on Arc
My HP Mouse is working without problems with my arc.

No. I have two devices, arc s and Neo. Every mouse I tested work, including apple, dell, HP etc. It DOES NOT matter if it is rooted or bootloader unlocked. Sounds like a faulty USB otg cable to me. Or use a different mouse.
If all is working well, you should end up with a mouse+keyboard combo like mine. Thumbdrives require root.

than i think my usb otg is broken...
So Ive run into a strange problem. I was watching a movie last night on my nexus, the file was on my usb drive connected via otg to the nexus. Today I try to do the same and I get no reaction from Stickmount when plugging in the drive. I have no problems charging or connecting the tablet to my PC, and the drive works fine both connecting to the PC and to my smartphone with stickmount as well. I also tried DLing an app called OTG Troubleshooter to see if that would help me. When connecting the drive it tells me that OTG is detected, but that "Mass storage USB device is not detected in linux/android". Does anyone know what the problem is?
Thanks in advance
Nexus Media Importer
I had a similar problem with the device not recognizing the OTG cable, it went away after I installed the Nexus Media Importer.

I tried with Nexus Media Importer as well, no success there either, it doesnt detect the drive. Thanks for the tip anyway
mine does the same thing with both stickmount and nexus media importer, I even tried 3 different OTG cables and flashdrives and get the same results

mine usually recognizes the cable, it is the thumb drive attached to it that it usually dosent see
im no expert but i was having issues with a physical keyboard through otg
on stock rom it times out
im on cm12 may 30 2015 with elementalx kernel
after flashing i plugged in the otg with the wireless keyboard reciever
nothing. worse than stock.
i downloaded all the usb otg helpers etc what not
in conclusion
i somehow managed to get
s3c usb host drivers for android
installed them from some site that i cant remember anymore -- really dumb --. seemed sketchy but had nothing to lose
altought now i can type still getting the same crap problmes i had with stock but not as bad. time s out

I have the same problem and have just tested that connecting a mouse or keyboard to the otg works without problems, what doesnt work is a flash drive. ( I have tried different flash drives to no success)
Does anyone know what the problem might be?

I uninstalled and then reinstalled it again and now it is working again. I think it might have been slow to update
Maybe you guys are using a Kernel with OTG+Charge option? if yes the problem maybe that you have to connect the AC charger and USB device together. If you don't need the OTG+charge you should deactivate that function.
After upgrading to lollipop OTG doesn't seem to work any more
I stick a multi SD / USB adapter and it doesn't do anything
should i enable something? like developer menu?
I have the same problem

Works fine for me on my 10.5, maybe you have the wrong otg cable?
Do you see the notification in the status bar when connecting a device.
no notification, but with same cable and same USB pen connected to Samsung S6 it works
not sure why and how it worked but connecting tablet to PC, it was recognized as external storage on mac with android app
now after disconnecting OTG works

I am having same problems as others. Tried al404's suggestion in various forms and still nothing. The problem may be unique to the Wifi only models. Does al404 have LTE? I also have loaded various ROMs, including Liquidsmooth (which supposedly had OTG control), and they have not helped.

Hii, Guys does anyone know how to enable One Plus 3 Ethernet cable, I brought a usb to Ethernet cable and otg but I cant connect....
is there a way I can install a mod to make this work thank you,
I am at work need free wifi My data signal is low... lol
Not possible.
Should be possible with a custom kernel integrating the right module for your Ethernet dongle.
Hello. I have the same problem as you. Did you find the way to connect it to ethernet?

If You want to use your phone to access internet on your PC, use pdanet. I've been using it for the past three months. I have an unlimited data plan.
i've used it, works fine with USB-C dongle with ethernet
