Has anyone had any luck hooking up an external DAC with their tab? I tried to hook up the cord that I use to plug in my USB keyboard, through a full sized usb - micro adapter, but it didn't work. I think you need an OTG cable, but I thought since the keyboard worked then that had to be an OTG cable.
Have you tried this?

I will check out that trial - thanks. I thought JB was able to output digital to usb natively as a part of the OS rather than being device dependant.

hi, i am planning on buying a micro usb to usb female cord and i wanted to plug the micro usb into the xoom, and a mouse into the usb female. would that mouse work with the xoom, or will the drivers for the mouse not work? thank you
I'm not sure, I don't use a mouse on my Xoom. But I have heard from other Xoom users that the Bluetooth Mouse works.

If you want to use a USB connected mouse you need the Xoom to be in USB host mode. You need to have flashed a rom or kernel that supports USB host mode and you need a USB OTG cable, such as the Motorola Camera Connection cable. You can't just use a regular USB cable with a micro end and a female end.
but you can build your own OTG cable.
buy a micro usb B head
and a usb A recept
and solder it together
the schematic is quite the same like the factory cable
instead of soldering pin 1 to 5 (+) like the factory cable u have to solder pin 4 and 5 together (ground)
you can find a lot of DIY tut´s just google it

I can provide OTG HDMI converter Factory cable. If you need, you can PM me.
Just bought this cable from Amazon
It works just fine with wireless Microsoft Keyboard+Mouse but was not able to make it work with my Lumix Camera and Card Reader. Seems there are problems with Android version 4.0.4
My Xoom is MZ604 WIFI only NOT Rooted. Keyboard and Mouse works fine even without rooting it.

I think it's the XOOM do not support your camera module(no this module driver).Maybe you can upgrade OS to FIX.This issue is ONLY driver issue.
Hello,
I think I found a cheaper alternative to Lapdock, but IDK if and how this can work or not.
I found something with external power here and I'm wondering if we can attach a mouse/keyboard with it.
Thanks in advanced,

It should work as long as you have an OTG adapter or cable that shorts pins 4 (the ID pin) and 5 (ground) that would then connect to the powered hub. These can be bought pretty cheap or just make one with a spare cable. The phone needs to know it is in USB host mode (shorted ID to ground) and there needs to be external power for the peripheral devices.
I just recently bought this , this, and this. The hub has two usb's: one for the phone, which has the otg cable, and the other for power (which I connected with the extension cable). You can then use your regular usb wall charger. Everything works great (attach any usb device you like) and when you attach a micro HDMI to regular HDMI cable to a TV/Monitor, you got yourself a computer like setup. I haven't tried it, but I think you can even attach external storage to it as well.

Actually, I used it on stock 2.3.6. As far as I know, that's more or less all that the the laptop docks are (with some added signal to know to use webtop when connected).
my android tv setup box does not come with bluetooth, so i bought a dongle and plugged it into the usb port. didn't work.
does anyone know how to do it?
I got the Same Problem...
Is there any posibility to load the drivers as a modul without compiling the whole kernel? And if... May you give me a beginner guide how to do?
Thanks a lot
Greets Catarrer
Any one?
Yeah I'm interested in this have a tab without Bluetooth so thought get a micro USB to female USB cable and plug a dongle in would require drivers though and a app of some sort for access

Bluetooth doesnt work needs drivers i think. But my usb gamepad works on most games, emulators just not on some racing games. Plugs straight in to the otg cable.
Hi guys, a friend of mine have and old Samsung android based phone.
I was thinking about give it a better use as an android tv box/media player, but I have a few questions, main concerning USB OTG.
I could use a USB OTG Y cable, so I could charge the phone while using it, and still have the OTG... could I connect an USB hub to the OTG so I could use a USB mini keyboard and a mouse?.
My other problem is the micro usb port and the HDMI conection to the TV. I could use a cable to connect the phone to the TV but then I couldn't connect the USB OTG. It's possible to connect HDMI and still use USB OTG???

It's probably cheaper to just buy a chromecast.

I live on latin america. A chromecast is way more expensive than a bunch of cables.

Well... just so you know you can't have the phone charging and in OTG mode in the same time. Not even with adapters. This is because the current in USB can't flow in both directions in the same time (because there aren't enough dedicated wires)

Hello all.
Just bought an otg but doesn't seems to work.

I did not change anything, just connected and go.
Problem solved
Otg is supported pnly with the original adapter.
sorry for necroposting, but i have an otg cable and the original adapter, but the phone isnt recognizing the usb device at all. i have tried channging the usb connection options to MTP, PTP etc etc
You should not have to do anything to get OTG going. In particular you should not have to change USB connection type from developer settings manually, that should happen automatically depending on what device you connect.
The only catch is that you need a decent OTG cable, which has all the correct pins in it. Using a microUSB OTG cable + an microUSB to USB-C adapter for example will NOT work (not unless the microUSB adapter has the OTG pins, which is really unlikely).
I'm using this Anker OTG cable and it works perfectly, first try. So far I've tried external storage devices (card reader, stick, even a 2.5" HDD enclosure), keyboard, mouse, and a MIDI keyboard.
If you need an app for accessing USB storage files I can recommend either USB Media Explorer, or the USB OTG plugin for Solid Explorer.

thanks man. ill give that a try. i was trying to look at some files on a flash drive while at work as the systems we use (and im currently using) dont allow external drives to be accessed on our desktop systems, i can thank citrix cor that. Ill give that a shot when i get home just to future proof myself. Also, i see your location as Transylvania. Ive visited there a couple times and it was freaking awesome!!!! Ive even learned how to make my own mici and smuggled some mustar clasic back home too! My fiance was raised in Piatra Neamt and she gave me the thumbs up on my mici
Good to know, making your own mici is a skill that will take you far in life.
