Tiamat Moray 2.2 USB Host problems...[HELP!]

So i recieved mini usb to usb cable for xoom and i tryied to connect an OCZ 8gb flash drive but no result my xoom doesn't recognize it the light on the OCZ didn't light up.
I thought that moray has usb support right? What am i doing wrong? :/
I even installed USB Mass Storage Watcher OTG but the problem is still there...
P.S The cable that im using is this one here:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...0342463&category=123422&_trksid=p5197.c0.m619

There seem to be many problems with so-called OTG-cables on ebay... No one knows if they really are OTG-cables or just plain MicroUSB-to-USB-Adaptors...
I bought the original Moto Camera-Cable here
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004VMI5CI/ref=oss_product
It works like it should, I can connect my USB-Stick, external HD, MP3-Player... You name it.

Did you try one of the free apps on the markeet that can help you mount your drive? Look for USB Watcher OTG and Drive Mount.

The problem just in the cable, I also recently received a similar, and he also did not work. I remake it and now it works fine.

How you remade it? Is there any way to make the usb support work without remaking the cable? Because im not good with the wires..(Any sort of mod or something...??? )

Look at the picture, you need to connect 4 and 5 contacts in the micro-usb connector,
you tablet have usb-host support, tiamat mounts usb-otg automaticaly, no need any program, or modification of tablet.
Your problem in usb-host cable from ebay, you can remake it, or buy a new original cable.

USB SDHC Card reader

Can anyone recommend a USB SDHC card reader that I can mount on my CM9 touchpad?
I've got the USB Y cable and can see the contents of USB sticks in Astro file manager, also managed to view the pictures on the memory card in my Olympus SLR camera. Unfortunately my other camera Canon compact camera doesn't support mass storage mode, so i want a SDHC USB card reader that i can plug into my touchpad to view the pictures on the memory card.
I've tried a couple of SDHC USB dongles and haven't been able to get them to work, i plug them in and nothing happens, no blinkning LEDs, no files showing in Astro.
So has anyone got this to work, if so can you post a link to the card reader you use?
Thanks!

Make sure you're file manager is set to show all/hidden files.
I use tiny Dane elec readers but any should work.
Make sure they are fat 32 format.

Does USB OTG work on cm9?
I can't get it to work with my nexus OTG adapter?

Yes it works
You need correct y and OTG cable and appropriate power source.

I managed to get astro to show the files on an USB Key, but when plugging 2 diff Card readers, and an SD card (fat32), although one of the adapters shows a led, USB storage remains empty under Astro...
any ideas?

I took a punt and bought another SD card reader from amazon and it worked!
In case anyone else is looking for the same thing it's called "Daffodil UCR03 Ultra Slim all-in-1 USB 2.0 Memory Card Reader" on amazon.co.uk. This reads my 8GB SDHC card fine. Cost me about £3.50.
Can't include a link as forum won't let me cos i'm a newbie.

Would this work with WebOS too? And does this need external power source such as a USB hub?

I'm a total noob at this and could use a for-dummies version of how to connect a USB SDHC card reader to the Touchpad (I only recently flashed CM9).
Specifically, I would appreciate if someone could point me towards the exact products I would need in order to set up a USB card reader for my TP. I assume that I will need (1) a USB card reader (such as the Daffodil product mentioned by obo789) and (2) a micro USB adapter of some sort so that I can connect the USB card reader to the TP (is this the "OTG Cable" mentioned)?
If so, is there a particular USB card reader and cable that people recommend?
Once I've obtained the necessary products, would I just D/L Astro File Manager from the App store? Would EZ File Manager also work?
Sorry for the noob questions. I searched this and other forums but could not find a definite answer.

All the details on how to connect are here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582771&highlight=otg
It just needed a 5 second search.

Thank you so much for the link. I kept searching for USB card readers and nothing came up (here and on other online forums). I didn't t think to search for USB OTG compatibility since, until last night, I had no idea what USB OTG meant.
Thank you again for your help and for pointing me in the right direction.

The two I got working were both double capped style, one cap for the SD card and another for the USB plug. One is branded Dane Elec IIRC and the other was a free promo item from Panasonic I got a while ago.

Anyone know where I can get a y cable in the UK?I've tried all sorts of searches on amazon.co.UK and eBay, annoyingly the ones linked from amazon.com won't ship to the UK

4-in-1 OTG adapter may save cables.

Hardware is one thing, I just purchased one of these 4-in-1 adapters linked in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31034220&postcount=35
But your issue may be software/OS related, also discussed in that thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30952816&postcount=34
or better yet: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/33033-otg-usb-insufficient-available-bus-toolthingy/#entry921673
IMHO: you need the USB unmout utility presented there. Try it if your USB flash drives ot USB SD card readers don't work. You might just have a "insufficeint bus power" response, which the utility can correct. I can now read all my camera & camcorder SD cards from a USB interface that failed prior.

In theory you can use your HP charger connected to it as power source.

That should work and would have a lot less cable clutter than the original set up. With that all you would need is any microUSB charger to power it. There is also one for sale that has a male USB connection for power instead of a female micro USB. With this it would be easier to hook to one of those portable USB chargers that use a full size USB port.

=== Review of Juiced Systems ACA adapter ===
I got this: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Multi-functional-Connection-Kit-Compatible/dp/B006MJZOMW
It appears to be a USB OTG ACA compliant device. Sadly it's for Galaxy Nexus Products and the full ACA compatibility doesn't appear to be implemented in hardware and/or software on the Touchpad with CM9.
1- It does function as OTG host port with the Micro usb from a charger powering the down stream devices. :good:
2- OTG to devices on USB/microSD/SD interfaces works well, but only one at a time for memory volumes (FAT32). Not sure if that's a software shortcoming.
3- Success with a wireless adapter for Logitec mouse/keyboard on USB. :good:
4- Haven't found an NTFS mount solution for Touchpad w/ CM9 nightly 0903.
5- It does connect to the Touchpad, but not with the HP folio case or any case as it's a close fit.
6- The ACA charging of the touchpad while hosting, or otherwise, sadly doesn't work as it was reported to function on SG2.
7- ACA indicator never lights up for charging or host.
Initial Result:
- At $20USD there are fewer cables, but full ACA charging doesn't work, which was my motivation to spend more.
- OTG to devices on USB/microSD/SD interfaces works well, but only one at a time for memory volumes FAT32.
- The physical connection seems a little weak to me. I almost feel like it could break off damaging the adapter, or worst, the micro USB interface.
Further tests:
- I want to check if the Wirless mouse/keyboard on USB can be used with a SD card in either slot.
- I'd also like to test of external HUB with devices further downstream such as self powered HDD and seperate USB Mice, Keyboards (for deskside use).
- Can anyone recommend a ICS compliant USB GPS & app?
Although this setup with: Touchpad, USB battery, Juice adapter, is simple and elegant, its pricy for features I'm not able to use (charging while host). I'm not impressed it will be rugged enough for field use.
Here is my recommended portable solution, which is also cheaper:
- HP Touchpad
- Battery soulution of choice <<< $4.25USD
- OTG host cable & power Y combo: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Micro-USB-H...i9100-S3-i9300-i9220-i9250-XOOM-/140825132367 <<< $6USD
- USB memory / flash drive of choice
(or other USB device that is ICS compatible with HP Touchpad)
:victory:

Will do
Im getting the camera tomorrow and the cables and adapter should arrive soon!

Problems with USB OTG

Recently I'm facing certain problems related to the USB OTG. It was working fine till some days ago. Now the Galaxy R does not detect the attached pen drive. Some times it does and then instantly gives one of the following errors...
1. USB device damaged or
2. USB device disconnected unexpectedly....something like this
as such I'm not able to access the pen drive through USB OTG. I can however successfully connect and use my pointing device (USB Mouse). What could be wrong?...Any body else facing such problems? Is this related to the device or the type B OTG cable that I'm using.

have u flashed ur pendrive with NTFS file system?
if yes than re format it using FAT32 file system and try. and if ur pendrive is already having FAT32 file system than maybe possible its damaged or something try connecting pendrive with pc and check. if its working fine with pc than format it and than try with phone.
as u have said pointing device is working fine that means ur cable is ok, but for surety u can give a try with other pendrives/supported hardware.

Now this is really confusing.....I just noticed that I can access the PD and its contents through OTG when connected in a certain position....more like fine tuning the position of the Pen Drive's attachment with the OTG cable till its detected by the device. After that even the slightest movement of the cable or the PD disconnects it...saying USB device disconnected unexpectedly....now what should I make of this? Device fault or Cable problem?

Well this could be because of damaged pen drive usb plug/damaged otg cable or damaged phone usb port. If ur phone is working fine when u connect it using data cable to pc and if transfers working fine means phone usb port is ok.
Try connecting pendrive with pc if its workibg fine there means ur otg cable is damaged.

Seems like I have a damaged OTG cable since the USB port is working fine for all, but the OTG cable. Any ways thanx a bunch for your help. Also which OTG cable are you using....atleast next time I will end up buying a good long lasting one

i m not using any usb cables as its not usable for me, but if u r buying from ebay i would suggest to buy from reputed sellers. read their feedback before buying, many sellers sell usb otg cable with some seller warranty like 3 or 6 month. so better buy those cable, u will have to pay 30~50 rs more but ur product will be secured and on ebay reputation is everything so they wont deny to change to cable as they dont want negative votes for em

Hello mate;
i got this cable 3 weeks ago, its working perfectly !!

If it's part of your home network and you have WiFi, you can use es file explorer to connect your note to your home network to transfer files. If you want wireless access for a drive that you can carry with you, you might want to checkout Kingston's wireless portable drives.

Why no one have not solution for this ?

You note will not accept an external HDD as it has some sort of safety device built in to protect against device over drawing also do not try to plug in HDD with an external power supply one member tried it and it fried his note.
Just connect it to a network or use a direct wifi apps from play store which are more easy to transfer data, another way is to install All share on your laptop and share the folders

I connected my powered 1 terribite hdd by connecting the hdd to the power supply, connecting a powered hub to my note through an otg cable and plugging the hdd into the hub and works fine.
If your hdd isn't powered you may still be able to use it but you need a powered hub.
I also use paragon ntfs app as my hdd is only ntfs and not fat32

Mi 4C OTG Cable

I ordered this one:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Elo..._2&btsid=c8d2641a-70b4-46fd-bad6-ec0e0eede4ed
works perfectly. It arrived today after about 3 weeks. Working perfectly with my NTFS formatted HP 8GB and Kingston 16GB Flash Drives. My HP USB flash drive is v220w and Kingston's is Data Traveler 2.0
you need to reformat with Allocation unit not more than 16kb if your flash drive isnt recognized. I keep mine at 8kb while formatting.

Nice
