I would like to use USB Thumb-Flash Drives like they are doing with the Nexus 7 with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. It is the GT-P3113 using recent CM10 - Android 4.1.1. I have tried the USB connector as noted below to connect the tablet and with its OEM cord to a USB drive and does not work or recognize it. I have used other drives and have tried using Stickmount app. I have tried to search for specific info, found some post that the idea is possible but can't find any details how. I have seen a possible connector USB OTG but don't know the difference. Any details as to how would be much appreciated thanks.

You need a USB OTG cable (the gender changer may work, but im not sure it will enable host mode, the otg cable definitely does). You can get them for two pounds / dollars on ebay. I am using mine with a 32gb usb stick.

Hello,

Hey guys i have been doing some research about the kindle for hd capabilities being a usb host. However all i could find was that i need a powered hub as the kindle for itself cannot provide enough power to run a Ian drive. Now the question, do you know if this is true and if it is can you recommend me a powered hub that will surely work for the best possible price? And also an otg cable?
Thank you in advance

USB host mode is currently disabled in the KFHD 7", We are waiting for someone to release a kernel that will enable it, I think hashcode is working on the kernel ATM.

The KFHD does not supply the voltage to power the drive. At this time, there are two options.
Fist one is the one I chose is the Wi-Drive.
The second one is a Y style USB cord that allows a voltage to be applied and powers the USB. The option to use the USB will light up once voltage is supplied. 4 volts is desired. Most just use one of those on the go phone chargers that takes a couple standard AA batteries to plug into the male USB port to provide the voltage. Then one plug into the KFHD and the other into a flash drive.

So there's no way to connect a USB pen via OTG cable? Even if the device is rooted and with a proper ROM?

Y USB cord supports extra power to a device. One USB port is plugged into a power supply and servs power to the USB device (USBstick, ext. drive) into a combined USB.
BTW: If there is no support of usb host by the kernel, that shouldn't work.
Maybe it's possible to add 5v power to the usb-port inside Kindle Fire HD (Hardware MOD) and someone enables usb host module in the kernel.
possible
is it possible to become a host KFHD
Just curious does the nexus 5 have properly functional usb org? I know the 4 had issues and I'm seriously considering this phone so I want to know going if it'll work.

couldn´t you care enough to write your request correct?
usb ORG ???
USB OTG? I assume?
It should. It was mentioned in the leaked service manual. It was supposed to be the in N4 but it wasn't powered so the device had to be powered itself which nearly defeats the purpose of having USB On-The-Go functionality. I am pretty sure Google wants this included.
That being said, I do not have the device yet. But I made the assumption myself that it will be a feature. I am planning on getting an USB OTG and a small HDD so I can interchange movies I want to watch.
If it doesn't have USB OTG, well even if it does, I might get one of these: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DR8LBAK...UTF8&colid=FM53JINJQWF5&coliid=I1XFD8MJC41TD0
I guess I believe native OTG will work, but I bought this http://www.amazon.com/RAVPower®-Wir...=1383381104&sr=1-1&keywords=ravpower+wireless just before the USB host "dirty" fix was engineered for N4. Very flexible--power bank, SD case and flash drive ports, broadcasts to mutliple devices/formats simultaneously, and allows web pass-thru when web Wi-Fi is available.

Interestingly, OTG isn't enabled by default in the kernel, so the stock kernel shipping out with the phone definitely doesn't have OTG support.

I hope that's the case and that it just isn't enable yet

I enabled it and built the kernel but I don't have my N5 yet so I can't test it

I have a galaxy note 10.1 model number gt-n8013. I bought a usb adapter for it. When I plug the adapter in to the note it tells me "usb connecter connected" however when I plug a usb drive nothing happens. It literally is like I did not plug anything in. The drive is not found in my file manager. I have tried several usb thumbdrives and they are all the same. I have tried fat32 and ntfs formats. According to samsung they should be in fat32. I have tried stickmount and a 3rd party file manager as well with no luck.
Last week I went in to best buy and talked with their samsung people and the geek squad. We tried everything we could think of and 1 hour later still no luck. I am at a loss for what to do.
My device is not rooted. Would a difderent rom allow me to mount a usb drive? The device is supposed to be able to mount one already but it is not working.
Any help is very much appreciated!

hi vevryone, i would like 2 know if there is a way to mirror my pc on galaxy s3 with MHL (that way i'll able 2 c my windows on my phone, like splashtop app, etc.)
Thanks in advance
Im not sure but it might work with a laptop, just connect it using hdmi to hdmi cable.
I would try this my self but i dont have the mhl adapter and i've got an s4 mini so i wouldn't be sure it'd work with the s3. GL :thumbup::thumbup:
