[Q] USB Device?

Has anyone with 2.3.4 installed on tried using usb mouse or keyboard? Even usb flash drives? The 2.3.4 haves USB Host and Accessory Modes that theoretically allows that kind of things. You also need a microUSB to USB adaptor but you can make it if you have two spare cables. I am developing apps with external device connection and I would like to know this works due to the fact that I'm running 2.3.3 stock on my device.
Thank you.

A colleague of mine used a bluetooth mouse on his Samsung Galaxy S, at the time having 2.1-update1. You can try this option.

I don't need bluetooth devices, I need usb connection. Is far more reliable then bluetooth.

Think you need honeycomb or ics to use USB devices

This feature just work on devices that support USB On-the-go. don't try to make an app.
>> Please press Thanks:good: if you find this post useful <<

u need a USB Host enabled Hardware and Kernel to be able to use that.. it's not about old or new devices.. if it supports USB Host it will work. i am using USB keyboard on my Samsung i9100 (S II) and a chinese tab and it's working brilliantly. however it doesnt work on chacha for example.. however why would u use a USB keyboard what's the point of buying Chacha if u wont use it's keyboard no offense

[Q] USB OTG - Can't get usb storage working, Xbox 360 controller works though?

Hi all,
Been having a lot of difficulty with this.
I've read and followed instructions regarding this but am totally stuck.
I have a USB Y cable to provide power (like the top picture in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/orig-development/usb-otg-externally-powered-usb-otg-t2181820), and have also got the following:
Running Android 4.2.2 (Cyanogen Mod 10.1.2), but have also tried Android 4.3 and 4.0.1
Matr1x kernel (says it should have USB OTG support)
USB Host Controller 0.44 app
Unfortunately I'm not allowed to post an outside link as I don't have enough posts, but I've taken screenshots of the USB Host Controller pages, and nothing suggests it wouldn't work:
dropbox.com/sc/ybg5l9zo44fkrue/kZhNN5oFFe
Connecting a Microsoft Xbox 360 controller shows up in the connected devices section fine, but trying a USB stick doesn't work.
I've tried 4GB, 8GB, 64GB sticks that I have, none of which show up, or even have their lights come on.
I've also tried FAT 32, NTFS and exFAT, none of which work...
Does anyone have any ideas..? I'm totally out...
Greatly appreciate any help!

Anyone..?

Otg in Xperia l

Otg problem.

sun yellow.

I have otg problem in Xperia l error. how to resolve this i s pic

Pic

I don't even
Firstly, normal otg cable won't work, you need a extra usb plug on it to provide power to the usb device
Second, if you can't find/mod the wire yourself, get a powered usb hub

I use otg +y. Cable to provide extra power but problem not solve

How to write mod

No. You modify the cable. Not write it
And also, for me it always errors. But it works

USB OTG

Hi I made this thread to find out how I can get USB OTG to work. I have cm 11 s3 mini and want to control my phone by a remote and plug ? flash drives in but have no idea how this works. Also if you could provide a link for a USB OTG cable it would be greatly appreciated. thank you

Hi
Its just plug and play. You plug in the USB OTG cable to the phone's micro USB port and on the other end its a female USB port (the same like in your laptop or pc). So you just put in a pen drive and it will get detected on its own. You can open a file manager app and access it, or you can access it directly from any of your other apps (for example if you use MX player for seeing videos then the pen drive videos will automatically load up in the app as well).
To control your phone remotely I am guessing you mean keyboard/mouse?
If you plug in a mouse, a cursor shows up the next second and you have a working mouse. Same with a keyboard, works on its own. If you want to use both together, you need a wireless keyboard and mouse so that you can plug in the dongle to the otg cable, and then both the keyboard and mouse will instantly start working.
If you have a PS3 controller you can even connect that to your phone and use it to play many games - but this does not work via plug and play, you need to follow instructions to set this up and you can search on xda or google for that.
If you search USB OTG on amazon or ebay you will find loads of places to buy it from in your country.

[Q] Theoretical question

Theoretical question:
While in console mode, is it possible to have the following accessories attached at once?
1. Mini hdmi out
2. Usb hub
3. Ethernet
4. External hard drive
5. External power (obviously running through usb hub) or charger
6. Bluetooth controller
Thanks in advance

I have not tried it myself, but it should work, as long as the hard drive works with it at all.

I got:
HDMI
USB mouse
USB keyboard
USB pendrive
via OTG attached at once. Haven't tried USB power and Ethernet cable yet.
