I'd like to play around with USB OTG on my Desire S with 4.0.4 AOKP 35-120511 / 2.6.35.14 Cyanogenmod+ but could flash any ROM. I bought an OTG cable for Galaxy S2 which now I realize probably won't work with DS - Initially it said that the car kit was connected. Now it does nothing! StickMount shows up nothing. Do I just need to attach a powered USB hub?
Anybody else out there have any experience with DS and USB OTG?
Hope you can help me, I did search the forum first and only found a few posts and no real answers.
What worked for me was to use a powered hub and a y cable to connect your device to the Desire, whilst drawing power from the hub. You need to hunt out the correct cable depending on what you want to attach either full size or mini usb.

hey there,
I'm searching for a mini usb to mini usb cable. I have my diamond in a brodit holder in my car. It's resting on 2 restpoints where in the middle the usb charge cable is being inserted. Everything fine so far. However, I have a little FM-transmitter so I can listen to internet radio in my car:

}
But if I connect this one, my phone can't be inserted in the holder neither would be charge cable fit since the charging point is out of the center:
So basically I'm looking for a very short extension cable to put between my phone and the FM-transmitter.
I know I could probably use something like this:
But in this case I prefer to keep it basic, with just a simple extension cable. Problem is: I'm unable to find something simple like this...
Does anyone have the 'idea of the day'?
I bought this adapter 2 weeks ago in the airport of Amsterdam for 15€, but is similar to the one you posted:

I know that these can be used on some of the Android tablets to give you additional connectivity - external hard drives, that sort of thing. However, would this work with a Desire HD too? ie, could I hook up a USB keyboard or USB hard drive through such an arrangement?
I'm thinking probably not - but if I'm wrong, this could be quite useful
I believe we don't have host functionality.

There are people working on host capabilities, you can check here:

Besides you'll need an external power supply to energize the usb peripheal. The phone can't do that. The thread above will shed some light on it.
if it is work on DHD
it will be so useful to me
Hi, in the end it works or not. Because I'd like to buy it. A greeting and thank you very much.

Thanks TRusselo! It is cheap and easier than I thought
I knew the samsung dock, but 99$ it is simple too much!
charger through the port, mouse through BT.
Would this contraption work?
Would it charge the phone or just blow up the micro USB connector?

Wall adapter + USB A male to USB A male cable + OTG cable + Phone.
My concern is, that the phone will think it's a flash drive (or something like that) and start providing 5V power.
It would work, no problem

I would also say that you should have no problems with your contraption....There is only a certain amount of charge that the Nexus 5 will accept. By now, you have probably already tried it. How did it work? Which OTG are you using? I bought the Analogix Slimport SP1003 a couple months ago. It's one of the best phone accessories I have ever purchased! Watching free movies and TV shows is awesome!
Agree, I have Slimport and it has taken my Nexus5 to a whole new level for entertainment!!
Hello all! I have a project on my mind, but i need some help to choose the right devices to build it.
As far as my multimedia car device is almost broken and i cannot replace it (only with a same one but it is old and un-upgradeable) i would like to install a tablet (which have all the things i need, such audio player, GPS, all upgradeable!!!) but i think is quite difficult, because i have some needs that i don't know if are possible to do.
