I need a little help.
I want attach usb flash to my htc desire phone, and found
Micro usb host otg adapter and order same.
Because this adapter out of stock, I must choose another, and I found two similar:
1-USB to Micro USB Adapter
2-Micro USB Male to USB Female OTG Cable for Samsung Galaxy S2..
What you think, which adapter or cable is better to buy 1 or 2?
I don't know whether it will work on desire phone?
hmm which rom are you using to enable usb host on htc desire?
I using InsertCoin rom, but I don't know is usb host enabled.
If not enabled, I can flash kernel...
ah ok.. do you know what kernel?
back to the topic, i think both are the same.. i have one similar to http://www.dealextreme.com/p/micro-...-samsung-galaxy-s2-i9100-nokia-n8-more-101894 that i use for my hp touchpad ... but i need to use a Y-cable to power my flashdrive as the touchpad does not output power.. and i think the htc desire does not output power too
I need additonal output power?
I don't think about this....
Where I can get this Y-cable?
If I attach usb hub, maybe power cable not important, because usb hub have aditional adapter?
Or I must buy better battery?
Hi yeap you need powered usb hub and theres no sense kernel with usb host enabled yet, its working with cyanogen roms ...

But if I get stronger battery, I don't need additional power?

unfortunately no... it's not to do with the battery capacity but with the htc desire's hardware which does not ouput power through its micro usb port... so the usb devices won't get any power from it to operate.... you need an external power input...
i am not sure if usb host work properly... have tried it on the roms i used but none seemed to work.
USB host not working
I confirm: USB host not working on folowing ROM: MIUI XJ, CyanogenMOD, SuperNova, Redux2 ZM, InsertCoin and Oxygen.
I have a similar usb adapter (2), it works ok with a Prestigio MultiPad 3384B, without USB powered hub.

It isn't true! The USB Host feature works with Cyanogenmod rom, if you use the host enabled kernel and load the necessary modules. I have used it with a mini SD reader and with a mini 1,8" samsung S1 winchester. The Y cable was a homemade cable, the usbe powersource was the mobile charger itshelf.
If anyone want to use the USBHost mode on Desire see this thred:

You already use external power to power up your USB disk? Last time very few kernal support USB Host but can't remember default CM kernal support it. Maybe because I never try it.

Yes, I use the external power. The app named USB Host Controller shows S3C USB Host Driver found. And I also found the driver in the source code of CM 10. https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_samsung_crespo/tree/ics/drivers/usb

Did atrix 2 support usb on the go.....?
On gingerbread I didn't saw any such options but ics have that option.
Hence has any one tried usb on the go. Is this option present in jelly been leak....?

every android fone has capability to detect slave devices such as keyboard, mouse if they are compatible
so go ahead
and search the accessories section .... it has same topic discussed
overall SEARCH first then post NEW thread

direct OTG cable will never work in atrix2, you have to use Y cable or powered hub to mount flash drive or any device like keyboard or mouse.
any how you have to give external power for mounting device in atrix2

No. It requires external power as before.
I would really want to know if wp7 phones have usb host so i can use an otg cable? I have a Samsung omnia 7 with custom rom installed.
Hi I have a otg USB cable, how can I make it work with nexus s? Do I have to root it or even flash a custom ROM in order to do so?
Thank you!
You'll need to flash a custom kernel to enable the functionality. Check the dev section to see which ones support it (Matrix kernel is one of them, there are probably others but I haven't been to this forum in awhile). You'll also need to make/buy a USB Y cable and connect an external power source, because the Nexus S doesn't supply enough voltage from its USB port.
TBH it's not really worth the effort.
Can anyone tell me if modification in kernel will turn usb otg working or not.
I know that otg is supported by hardware.
But in a nexus 4 moded kernel usb otg is mentioned to be working, i tried installing that but somehow it wont install.
