LG has resolved the power issue, so it should. Recall that the N4 was released as USB OTG, but had to be backtracked when it was discovered there was no power. Fortunately,,cable and kernel tweaks by devs worked around the issue.

YAAAAY!!!

Looks like it should from the various log file leaks etc. My main reservation will be the ability to get ethernet working OTG like with the N7. Got this working with my Note2 after building the kernel modules myself - hopefully the N5 will be precompiled, or easy to create too.

Most Android phones at the moment support it so it would be weird if the N5 didn't support it

maybe for making it cheap xD

If the service manual that was leaked is accurate, the hardware will support USB OTG. There are a bunch of references in the manual (the Qualcomm power management IC has a VOUT_5VS_OTG output, a block diagram for the charging/USB area shows +5V0_OTG_OVP (over voltage protection), and there is a OTG enable line listed (OTG_EN)).
I didn't realize the N4 didn't support OTG (without a bit of a work around) until I came across this thread and did some reading about it.

That is a nifty device. I was going to sell my 64GB uSD card with my Note2 after I get the Nexus 5, but maybe I will hang on to it and get one those uSD adapters. It would be much easier to carry that uSD adapter with a 64GB card inside instead of an OTG cable and a thumb drive.

If the N5 is even loosely based on the LG G2 it will have USB OTG host. My G2 natively mounts mass storage devices via USB OTG.
Does any one have a link to a mirror of the N5 service manual?

I had a hard time finding it, but eventually I Googled lg-D821.pdf and found this...... ironically stored on Google Docs. You will get a warning about the file being too big for Google to virus check it. I went for it and it is the manual.

I know there are USB-HDMI cables, but what kind of pinout connections for the TP translate?
The TP plug LOOKS like the one on my Samsung Mythic phone cable, but I sure as hell wouldn't plug it in!
Pros to why it might work
The chipset is capable
It doesn't appear that HP messed with the reference design
Cons to why it might not work
Chipset may be capable but no idea if the drivers to do it are in WebOS
It could have been removed
I can't find if anyone has tried an MHL adapter on the Touchpad yet
I've yet to hear of anyone outputting any video with the touchpad to an external screen.
I tried an MHL adaptor on the touchpad and it doesn't work.
Would be good if there's any other way to link it to a TV/Monitor.

So now the question is, is it because the hardware was modified or is it lacking in the software?
Another thought I had was looking to Bluetooth VDP support. Since WebOS uses the bluez stack and there was some work previously on VDP for bluez it shouldn't be too hard to the profile working. There is also the SPP video approach however both of these would need one to have a Bluetooth receiver to display the video.

Regardless of whether or not the hardware supports it, the software definitely does not.

I wouldn't get my hopes up given the state of WebOS. Android is looking like the best solution right now especially with ICS just around the corner.
gentleman, it WILL NOT work on 3.0.2 or 3.0.3, but is the #1 feature for 3.0.4, so either wait for that, or hope that CM team gets it working, but it prolly wont work in CM7 1.0 as its not the most important thing to have working at launch

Actually, I understood HDMI-out was confirmed to be part of 3.0.4.
Really, HP has nothing to gain by holding out on us, so I can't imagine they would.

CM, but Dalingrin more specifically. He says it is supported by the SoC, pinouts are the big question.
Google it or search here at xda. The phrase "webos 3.0.4 hdmi" worked for me.

source is from HP devs, im looking for the link in my history (EDIT: dammit, link is pulled, HP is cracking down on these leaks hard. looking for cached page)
as for 3.0.3, it WAS available, but HP sent a C&D to xda and nbournes (something like that, my bad ) so its gone, and HP also deactivated the dev reg server, so you have to impostah bypass to use 3.0.3, you get the camera app, faster browser but no access to app catalog or HP resources

I very much doubt they will add ANY new features,and any in the works will probably be removed or disabled in the final release. I think HP is releasing one last software update to deal with the fact that the software that shipped is junk. Its slow and buggy and I think HP feels that they need to fix the outstanding issues. I seriously doubt they feel they need to put any energy into adding new features. WebOS IS dead. Hp is not making devices running it anymore and no one is going to want it. They may be able to sell it for a few bucks to someone who wants the palm patent portfolio though. At the right price google might want those patents. The idea that HP will keep flushing money down the webOS hole though is absurd.

you just have to follow all the directions.
and since there is No Proof that HDMI is the #1 feature of 3.0.4, I'm calling BS until there is proof.

It looks like that you need a adaptor with external power support.

It works alright
I have the phone ages and only thought to try recently.
This is the first thread that pops up for me on Google, so I'll answer it for anyone wondering.
I have a cheap ebay adaptor a day and it reads and writes just fine
It seems to be hit and miss, I can't get it to work reliably no matter what I try, different adaptors, different usb sticks (there's definitely more of a problem with some sticks), different otg helper apps.
I have an adaptor on order which also has a power in socket, maybe that will work.

I have some friends that work for the government and their in the same boat as you. They aren't even allowed to use wireless when their traveling and it's available.
Thanks for this, sounds good. Only thing left to work out is line in then i guess, if someone could test this for me it would be really helpful. Its the last piece of the puzzle i think.
One other question, i take it the only "pairing" the tablet does with the keyboard is just being plugged in? The reason i ask is that if i buy a couple of tablets and keyboards (me and the mrs) can we just swap the keyboards round without any pairing faff?

As far as I know, you can interchange the docks. There's a driver for it installed in Android from the start. There's no personalized settings or anything stored in the dock itself. Plug and Play.

If you are located outside the US in Europe this would be your answer.
If you're a US user then your stuck with the complex USB adapter scenario it seems.
perfect, that actually looks just what im after, simple easy and with cat5 in built. shame it doesnt have line in then it really would be ideal!
edit: just need to find someone that will actually supply it to me now!

I don't know if the same spec was posted, but I believe n4 was advertised on Play as having OTG capabilities. Of course, it was quickly discovered that it did not have the voltage to run USB host. By the time I got mine in Feb, that claim had disappeared although we do have the ziddey's "dirty" fix which works with external power source so while not OTG, it can access USB devices. Hope n5 has the juice needed.

Anyone had a chance to properly test this? Total deal breaker for me.
I have 2 OTG devices, and an N5 on order. I'll test stock, then root and test again as soon as it arrives
It appears that OTG isn't enabled by default in the kernel. I went ahead and enabled OTG but my N5 hasn't shipped yet (haven't even received a shipping confirmation yet :crying, so I can't test the kernel I built right now

Still 100% stock and unrooted at the moment but I have a OTG on order should be here monday, I will see if I get time during the week to flash something but I dont touch the programming side of Android so I would still be at the mercy at some other developer providing a flashable zip with it enabled in the kernel.

Could you atleast confirm if it output power, at least mice, keyboard and gamepads should work with stock kernel I think.

OTG works fine on my Nexus 5, used DSLR Controller with it. Wonder if it has the same issue as the new Nexus 7 though and that's why it's not working for some ...

OTG USB Hub not recognizing mouse + keyboard.

Hello, I purchased a Dodocool 3 USB 3.0 + HDMI + External Power hub for my OnePlus 7 Pro. The adapter works fine on my Note 9. However, I can only get HDMI to work with my 1P7P. I have OTG Enabled. Any advice? Would really like to use the hub / monitor / keyboard and mouse. One I use a standalone type c to a OTG adapter keyboard and mouse works, just not with the hub.
Thank you in advance!
USB storage is detected on USB 3.0 ports just not the mouse and kb.
I have the same issue and I opened some threads around the web looking for other feedbacks.
XDA
OnePlus Forum
Reddit
Android Central
The problem seems to be common on hubs that deliver video out. I tried using the original OTG cable paired with a simple USB3.0 4 ports hub and all the devices are properly recognized. Instead, complex hubs are recognized as a "storage" device, no matter what you attach to them (but storage + HDMI works on several hubs).
I posted a similar question on Reddit. No answers yet, I basically want to know if Dex style hubs work with op7p. I currently use my old v20 with HDMI USB mouse and keyboard with power delivery, but it doesn't work with my v30 even tho USB to HDMI works. I want to buy this phone, but don't want to make the same mistake twice. I like using moonlight to stream my PC for gaming.
Dang, yea - I wonder if it is an issue with usb 3.0? It detects drives attached and HDMI just cannot talk to kb or mouse. I am going to keep poking around the system.
I wonder if it is a kernel level issue?
I fixed it! Flash this kernel! https://forum.xda-developers.com/on.../kernel-kirisakura-1-0-0-op7-pro-aka-t3933916
So just to clarify, HDMI, USB keyboard/mouse, SD scard, and power delivery all work together?

Anyone got any suggestions to where I might have gone wrong?
Does anyone have another solution other than flashing the kernel ? i dont want to root my phone and i really need to use my device to connect hdmi+usb port+audio jack at the same time .
