Just wondering. You still need an OTG cable to connect camera/drive/other, right?

Yes, you can't get around physical wiring differences.
USB cable for xoom
Surely you can use the USB cable that came with the xoom and attach a female to female adpator and run your camera cable from that. You dont really need to buy a specific OTG cable. Well I think that would work.
Nope is doesn't you need a otg cable. I tried it myself a few months ago, ended up buying 3 cables to get that worked.

The wire that comes with your Xoom is wired differently than an OTG cable. The Xoom wire is a client wire. The OTG is a host.
But with 3.1 + an OTG cable, can you use the USB Host function without this hack :http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/15979-hack-enable-usb-host-mode-ie-thumb-drives-on-the-xoom/ ?
You just plug your OTG cable and it works ?
It seems there is still no way for a stock user to use a USB stick via the OTG cable because there is no app that recognizes it that way, Android still requires root to access the file system or both.

any body successed ?
Bad news, there is no way to enable OTG
Because NS uses usb switch chip FSA9280A, and this chip doesn't support OTG.

I made a mistake, there is a FSA9480 in the phone, so it support OTG in hardware.

I haven't had any luck getting this to work.
I tried hooking up a USB mouse, game pad (wired 360 controller) and a USB flash drive. However nothing happened when I plugged them in.
I connected them using a micro USB to USB adaptor and an externally powered USB hub.
Since the Galaxy Nexus appears to support OTG without issues, I'm guessing it's not working on the NS because of some sort hardware incompatibility.

first of all, are you sure your kernel configure support OTG ?
and then, the "micro USB to USB adaptor " is type-A(pin 4 connected with GND) ?
btw, the cup(S5PC110)'s datasheet shows it support OTG.
Ah, I did not realize there were different types of USB OTG adaptors. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
I did a bit of digging around and it seems that it's not too difficult to modify the adaptor from type B to type A, provided you have basic soldering ability (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092493). Perhaps I'll give that a go when I get some free time.
Has anyone else tried this feature on NS with any success?
This only applies to the Nexus S i9020.
i9023 seems to user another USB chip (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431151) for which are OTG kernels available:

hi, i am planning on buying a micro usb to usb female cord and i wanted to plug the micro usb into the xoom, and a mouse into the usb female. would that mouse work with the xoom, or will the drivers for the mouse not work? thank you
I'm not sure, I don't use a mouse on my Xoom. But I have heard from other Xoom users that the Bluetooth Mouse works.

If you want to use a USB connected mouse you need the Xoom to be in USB host mode. You need to have flashed a rom or kernel that supports USB host mode and you need a USB OTG cable, such as the Motorola Camera Connection cable. You can't just use a regular USB cable with a micro end and a female end.
but you can build your own OTG cable.
buy a micro usb B head
and a usb A recept
and solder it together
the schematic is quite the same like the factory cable
instead of soldering pin 1 to 5 (+) like the factory cable u have to solder pin 4 and 5 together (ground)
you can find a lot of DIY tut´s just google it

I can provide OTG HDMI converter Factory cable. If you need, you can PM me.
Just bought this cable from Amazon
It works just fine with wireless Microsoft Keyboard+Mouse but was not able to make it work with my Lumix Camera and Card Reader. Seems there are problems with Android version 4.0.4
My Xoom is MZ604 WIFI only NOT Rooted. Keyboard and Mouse works fine even without rooting it.

I think it's the XOOM do not support your camera module(no this module driver).Maybe you can upgrade OS to FIX.This issue is ONLY driver issue.
Hello,
I think I found a cheaper alternative to Lapdock, but IDK if and how this can work or not.
I found something with external power here and I'm wondering if we can attach a mouse/keyboard with it.
Thanks in advanced,

It should work as long as you have an OTG adapter or cable that shorts pins 4 (the ID pin) and 5 (ground) that would then connect to the powered hub. These can be bought pretty cheap or just make one with a spare cable. The phone needs to know it is in USB host mode (shorted ID to ground) and there needs to be external power for the peripheral devices.
I just recently bought this , this, and this. The hub has two usb's: one for the phone, which has the otg cable, and the other for power (which I connected with the extension cable). You can then use your regular usb wall charger. Everything works great (attach any usb device you like) and when you attach a micro HDMI to regular HDMI cable to a TV/Monitor, you got yourself a computer like setup. I haven't tried it, but I think you can even attach external storage to it as well.

Actually, I used it on stock 2.3.6. As far as I know, that's more or less all that the the laptop docks are (with some added signal to know to use webtop when connected).
Hey guys,
I've been curious, if it's possible to use a slimport adapter and connect it to a display AND have something else connected via the additional charging USB Port.
Such as playing a movie right from a stick with the nexus 5 or a USB keyboard connected at the same time via USB Hub.
Or is there any other option to realise something like this?

This was the first thing I did when I got my adapter. The port is only for charging sadly...
If keyboard/mouse is all you need, you can always get a bluetooth one. If you need OTG for other stuff though, you'd have to use a wireless mirracast adapter instead of slimport.
I've got an existing OTG cable with micro USB. Does that work for things like thumb drives and mice using the adapter?
If not, would this work?

It comes with a USB-C to USB-A adapter in the box. You should be able to plug your thumb drive or mouse into that.

I don't know why they would get rid of something as old as OTG support so I'm assuming that yes it will work.
yes otg works and the samsung smart switch lets you plug one phone into the other and transfer data
Just reading through the AT&T manual: it states clearly that OTG will not work through the supplied USB connector (p9). Nor can you use it to charge the Note 7 from a computer (p12).
With built-in battery too - hope the Note 7 isn't just another pretty fetish.

Well all of the above work on my T-Mobile variant.
On my t-mobile Note 7, I cannot get my Dragonfly Red to work via USB OTG.

It is a DAC/Preamp. So you use the included microUSB to USB C adapter for your OTG cable?
Yup

idk but all my jump drives work just fine, same as my s7 edge.
just plug them into the usb c otg and tranfer files via samsung file app
Ok. I just realized that there is an otg usb to usb c adapter in the box. That one actually works just fine with my external dac.

I can't get my Oppo HA-2 DAC to work at all. I tried using the included adapters but nothing. I went and bought a USB - USB C cable and that also didn't work. The only way I have been able to get audio is to use a standard charging cable (USB - MicroUSB) and put the USB C adapter on the MicroUSB end. However this charges the Oppo from the Note 7 and I can't disable that. Will burn through the battery in no time! Not sure what else to try at this stage
+1 I have successfully used a SanDisk 8gb flash drive with an aftermarket Rankle usb adapter. I have an AT&T Note 7.

I use the included USB-USB C adapter with a USB -USB Mini(?) and my Fiio Alpen. As you mentioned, the Note7 charges the DAC. This also happened with my Note4. You should be able to use a wireless charging pad to charge the Note7 at the same time. That's what I did when I was transferring files between phones. It's transportable but not very mobile.
My little micro usb fan does NOT work with the included usb 3 to microusb connector. So, i'm gonna assume OTG doesnt work as it used to.
