So guys i read somewhere before that USB OTG cable only works with android 3.x and aboove because they contain necessary kernals needed to make USB work.......maybe that was the reason USB OTG wasnt working on stock rom........
has anyone tried OTG cable on CM10/10.1..??...maybe that might work.....
plz someone tell me if it works on our phone or not....i really want to connect external storages to my ace plus

Hi guys,
I'm pretty new at all this, so I'll just tell you what my problem is:
I bought an OTG cable (by eforcity) - male USB micro to female USB A, and I plugged it into my Droid X. The droid is not recognizing the thumbdrives I've tried. I'm on Android 2.3.3, system version 4.5.605, Stock, Rooted.
So, how do I do USB hosting with that cable? Do I need something more? Do I need a custom Kernel/ ROM on my device to support it?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
I got a USB OTG cable but when i plug it in nothing happens. it looks all confusing, I am running build 17 of Team EOS ICS. What do i do?
Try downloading/running one of the apps that mount external USB drives.

I have tried about 3 of them but nothing happens.
Is there a certain format it needs to be ? (Fat32) etc.
Do i need a special kernel?
Which cable did you buy? I'm about to buy an OTG cable as well.

Do I need a otg cable or can I use a mini usb to usb then a female to female connection and work that way. That's what I was using on ics on zarboz kernal. Worked fine with otg helper. But now I cant mount my memory stick
You need a real OTG cable. Once we get the kernelsource Im sure we will get a kernel that will support OTG over a normal cable again
Hello Everyone,
I came across the new Sony Flash Drives with MicroUSB port.
Will it work as USB OTG on Xperia L?
As far as what I have read here is that Xperia L needs external power for OTG to work.
So just need more information regarding this new flash drives which Sony displays as USB On The Go Flash Drives.
It would be great if it works.

Xperia L does not support OTG and thus I am afraid this would not work for your device. I saw the link and it clearly says that the USB flash disk DOESNOT provide its own power (It's dependant on the phone's board for power) so it wouldnot work ! However, if you find a way to power your USB drive externally , it would work given that proper modifications are made in the kernel.
Even If I can do this all, I wouldnot trouble myself with OTG as their would be too many cables/adapter to power usb etc and I will simply stick to a 32gb sd card !
To be very certain, you can ask sony care about the matter!
Good Luck

Yes, you are very much correct..
It would require a USB OTG Host with male and female usb sockets to power it on.
Thanks for the reply.
USB OTG
It's only that our phone can't powerup the external USB drive for now. If you can power it with any other source, phone will be able to do it.
Same is the case with sony flash drive.
Let's wait for some hardware tweaks by developers to divert more power through USB or wait for external drives which require less power.:silly:
I bought a dual USB disk for Nexus 4 , the one like sony has released recently, my Nexus 4 doesn't detect it, I tried flashing a custom kernel with a OTG support but no luck. Any idea how can i make the USB work ?? The USB does have a micro-usb connector ..Any reply will be really helpful

nexus 4 does not support usb otg. the only way is to have a custom rom with usb otg AND have a Y micro usb cable to give power to the disc.
in other words nexus only supports external powered usb otg.

this a list of compatible kernels. somewhere in the forums there is a thread for this if i remember that so search and you will find it.
