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.

Ok so I finally got myself a usb otg cable, but how do I use it? Do I have to install any special driver for it? Is there a way to test if the cable is functional? At the moment nothing happens when I connect the cable and the pen drive..
Those who are using it, please do guide..
Proud to own a Galaxy R
it should work without any such additional driver...
Just insert it and u should see a message in notification like 'usb device connected' and 'click here to safely remove usb device'
u can access all ur file of pendrive in the location
/sdcard/usbStorage
I'v tried pen drives & wireless mouse... they all worked perfectly

To use otg u dont require any special kernel or rom, its native feature and will work on all stock and custom roms/kernels.

insert cable and plug any pendrive in it (make sure its formatted with FAT file system). notification about usbstorage will appear in ur status bar. if u r not able to connect than maybe cable is faulty, if u have other phone which supports usb otg (gs2, gnote, in nokia n8, c601, e7, 701 etc) u can try over it.
I installed usb host controller from Google play and it is showing this error :
Proud to own a Galaxy R
its usb host controller and no one is sure that sgr supports usb hosting or not.
just try with simple fat formatted pendrive and if its not working than maybe ur cable is faulty, u can ask replcement or refund.
Dude, Stupid as it may sound, but hope u are not trying to connect a usb hard drive coz that requires an additional usb hub for power.
I ask becoz I have been there. Was pretty convinced that I bought a cheap faulty otg cable until a tried a fat pendrive
Sent from my GT-I9103 using XDA
Haha.. No no I'm testing with pendrives that are formatted on fat32.. According to the videos I saw online, the phone is supposed to detect and notify when the cable is connected but I don't get any notification.. So I'm pretty sure that the cable is faulty..
And I don't have any other phones to test it on, neither do I have a ps3 controller to check if it works as well..

pendrives, usb mouse, usb keyboards will work fine but if u r connecting external hdd u will have to plug them to pc for power source (usually all usb hdd comes with Y shape usb cable, put extended usb plug in pc and normal plug to sgr)

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 !!

You need a kernel with USB OTG support. SebastianFM's kernel, here
The Micro Usb connector has 5 pins inside. In standard data cables that comes with the phone, only 4 pins are used. When the unused pin is connected, the cable becomes an OTG cable.
Pin 1 : VCC pin, +5V Power supply, COLOR : RED
Pin 2 : D-, Data- Signal line, COLOR : WHITE
Pin 3 : D+, Data+ Signal line, COLOR : GREEN
Pin 4 : This is the pin which is not used in standard data cables, we will "SHORT" it to pin 5 to make an OTG CABLE
Pin 5 : GND, Ground Supply
These colors are UNIVERSAL in USB connectors, this means the red is always VCC, black is GND and the other two always perform the same action, unless somebody deliberately connects the colors to different pins
Warning : I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE ON ANYTHING. (YOUR PHONE, DATA CABLE, USB CONNECTOR, HOUSE, FERRARI ETC.) IF YOU AVOID ANY SHORT CIRCUITS, AND COMPLETE ALL THE STEPS AS I EXPLAIN THERE WILL BE NO PROBLEM. AND THIS TUTORIAL SUPPOSES YOUR PHONE AS AN HTC PYRAMID
IF YOU ALREADY HAVE AN OTG CABLE, YOU DON'T HAVE MUCH TO DO.. YOU GO TO 2
1 ) THOSE WHO DON'T EVEN HAVE AN OTG CABLE START HERE -THESE STEPS REQUIRE EXPERIENCE ON SOLDERING
What you need:
1)A "MICRO USB B" head. (Can be obtained from an old charger, data cable)
2)USB A Male to USB A Female Connector : These Connectors
3)USB Cable (A short one is enough)
4)A sharp knife,etc.
5)Soldering Kit
6)Hot Glue
7)Tape
8)Some experience on soldering
STEP 1 - The first thing yo need to do is to SLICE two sides of the plastic cover of the micro USB connector, and clean the glue under it. You will need the plastic cover later!
HAVE A LOOK AT THIS VIDEO TO UNDERSTAND CLEARLY
STEP 2 - Once you reach the pins under the glue, you can get your soldering iron now to start soldering.
Matching cable Colors and Pin NUMBERS AGAIN : 1-RED, 2-WHITE, 3-GREEN, 4-NO CABLE, 5-BLACK
STEP 3 - If you did soldering (or cables are already soldered to pins--if you're using a data cable) now you need to SHORT CIRCUIT the EMPTY PIN (PIN 4) and PIN 5 (Black Cable). You can use a very short piece of cable to do this. NOW YOU HAVE A "MICRO USB B" CONNECTOR WITH OTG SUPPORT.
STEP 4 - After you completed the soldering, and IF you are sure you made no mistakes, apply HOT GLUE. Wait for it to get cold and hard, then cover it with the plastics you sliced before. You can use cheap quick glues to do that. How the connector looks after all depends on your creativity and ability
STEP 5 - Cut the cable of the USB A MALE to USB A FEMALE connector at 20-25 cm from the female connector. Now you can connect USB Female A connector, Micro USB B connector, and USB Male A connector
STEP 6 - First connect the matching colored wires of USB FEMALE A connector and Micro USB B Connector (red to red-white to white-green to green-black to black). Now you've a working OTG cable, but without an external power connector.
STEP 7 - To connect the "USB A MALE" connector,which will be the external power to the OTG, you only need to connect red and black colored wires of it (the +5V and GND wires) to the matching colors of the other two cables you connected before ("MICRO USB B" and "USB A FEMALE"--The OTG CABLE you've made). If you connect white and green wires of "USB A MALE" connector, YOUR CABLE WILL NOT FUNCTION. DO NOT CONNECT WHITE AND GREEN WIRES OF MALE USB A CONNECTOR.
You can use soldering iron to strenghten the connection between wires. Or you can just use tape. It's up to you. Just be sure that there's no possibility of short circuits.
You need to use tape for each color of wires to prevent short circuits.
AGAIN : Be sure that you've made all the steps carefully and correctly, and avoided any short circuits before using your cable. The only short circuit should be the pin 4 and pin 5 of MICRO USB A connector
AND YES IT'S DONE, YOU CAN USE YOUR CABLE NOW
2 ) THOSE WHO HAVE USB OTG CABLE AND JUST WANT TO CONNECT AN EXTRA USB POWER CONNECTOR--START HERE
You need :
1)MALE USB A CONNECTOR with 100-120 cm cable -- lenght depends on you, should not be much longer than 2 meters(standard usb connectors) (U can get it from any data cables, old USB mouse cables, controller-joystick cables.. Just cut the cable at 100-120cm from the connector)
2)Your OTG Cable
3)A Sharp Knife etc.
4)Tape
5)Soldering kit (optional--if you want to strenghten the connections of wires)
STEP 1 ) Cut the USB OTG cable in the middle.
STEP 2 ) You only need red and black colored wires of "MALE USB A" connector, which are +5V and GND.
STEP 3 ) Connect the matching colors of your OTG cable again, but this time also connect the "MALE USB A" connector's red and black wires to the matching colors. WHITE and GREEN wires of this connector should not be connected. Otherwise the cable WILL NOT FUNCTION.
You need to use tape for each color of wires to prevent short circuits.
BE SURE THAT THERE'S NO POSSIBILITY OF SHORT CIRCUITS AND YOU'VE MADE NOTHING WRONG
You can also connect SHIELD WIRES of each cable to each other. But i'm not sure what actually it does. If you test it, please post your experiences.
What is Shield Wire:
The USB cables actually also have "SHIELD WIRE". My 2.5" external LG HDD does not work with the cables without shield wire, but many products should work. Shield wire is the one silver colored wire surrounding the other four colored cables and aluminium foil. It is connected to the outer silver colored parts of the connectors. I'll update this post after testing if shield wire needs to be connected,too. For now i use my cable without it, but my hdd does not work. All others (usb mouse, usb flash drives, joystick, hub, my sony e443 Walkman , PS3 Dualshock 3 Controller etc.) work. I don't know if the reason why my hdd does not work is that wire. Will test it by monday and upgrade my post.
My own made cable is attached below, not perfect, but good, working fine

Sir, I have done exactly what's in the guide for having an otg cable and attaching a usb male for external power. But I am facing a little problem and that is when I connect power to usb male first, but without attaching to my Tab, and I connect my pen drive first, it doesn't get powers as the led doesn't blink. But it does blink only at the moment I insert the pen drive into the female usb. Now I did a different thing, I connected micro usb port to my Tab, then my pen drive and then the power male usb cable, it works fine. But I am getting confused that is my pen drive getting power from that attached usb male.

I sometimes face the same problem when i want to use my external HDD device. But its not a problem at all. I think usb male power has some difficulties on supplying enough power to both phone and HDD. It works by connecting HDD first, then USB male to power, and then phone. This order may change according to your charger, device, and phone

Some newer phones (like s3) do not charge while using a Y cable. For ex. the controller is connected to Y cable and it works with the phone, but the phone is not charged although the power is also connected to the Y cable. This is annoying because playing games consumes battery ver quickly I (am not sure but) think the reason for including a 100ohm resistor is to enable charging and host mode at the same time on such phones. On Sensation there's no need for it because this cable just works perfect for Sensation. Charges and hosts at the same time.

Great info and instructions, now the only answer to the burning question I have is.......
..... Has anyone... Anyone! at all! managed to make a OTG Cable with a USB power plug, using the correct 'resistor' value while still using the phones stock 'unrooted' JB 4.1.2 rom, and stock 'kernal' not patched in anyway for the Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
Although there are products on eBay said to do this job, and have been reported to work by others, the sellers that offer these adapters are all based in China, and will not trade/sell to Europe at all.
If anyone has a solution around this problem, sharing there knowledge would be great.

Nokia OTG cables are not Micro B connectors but Micro A. So The OTG cable for N8 will not fit into our sensation or other android phones. You can see the difference between Micro A and Micro B here :

U can use Chainfire's StickMount app free on playstore to see if your flashdrive is connected. If it shows no drives connected then check your connections, optionally using a multimeter. Check the 4th pin is shorted to 5th one.

1) if we are using Bus powered USB hub then use one male cable to power the hub as in the image(i used atrix2 charger to power the USB hub and connected one mouse and flash drive it works perfect)
2) Use OGT cable to connect the hub to atrix2
3)use HDMI cable to connect to TV or monitor.
