Hey there,
Im aware that my question is probably noobish, but does OTG work with USB 3.0?
Im just curious due to some other devices (like my wlan-stick) not working with USB 3.0 so I just wanted to be sure.
I know that there is an app needed to get OTG working on the Nexus 5, but is an external powersource also needed just like on my Huawei Honor 2?
Thanks in Advance, sorry for wasting your time
Regards

First of all USB 3.0 is compatible downward, do this should work normally, even 3.0 itself would be supported.
An external power source? For what?
If u use a stick there can't even get a power source and if u have a floppy disk with power source, even this have to be used on OTG otherwise it won't work, too.
Hope this answers ur question?!

I've been searching all over and I cant find a definitive answer on this.
I have a Toshiba portable USB hard drive that gets its power from the USB connector (it does not have a separate power supply).
Can I hook this up to my Xoom and watch movies/tv shows from it? Does the Xoom support USB hard drives or thumb drives at all?
Sorry in advance if this has already been answered.
Thanks
Yes but you need a USB OTG cable. Not sure if the Xoom will power an external hard drive that runs off of USB only though, you might need to get one if those cables that splits off for power.
I can't get anything to work, even with a USB OTG cable, and I have 3.2 installed.
When I bought the cable it said this ...
This adapter allows you to plug a USB memory stick pen drive so you can play music, videos, backup & transfer files and view photos.

The Motorola forum says it can't be done, yet.
Others say you need to root the phone.
I'm sure you need to unlock and install tiamat rom I think?
I'm new to these forums as of today,
But i've read around the forums, and it seems to me that 3.2 doesn't support USBhost, and therefore PENdrives/USBHDD's cannot be used.
As Kippui stated, you will need to use a custom ROM with USBhost support, before you will be able to use the HDD at the very least

If it has no separate power supply then no, the xoom doesn't put out enough power

Not true about the newer Passports, for example. I have a 1st generation 250GB Passport that can only work if I use a powered hub, but my brand new USB3 650GB Passport works fine and is fully powered by the Xoom.
Please note, I am unlocked, rooted, and running a custom Rom/kernel that supports USB Host Mode.
Stock Honeycomb does not support USBOTG/host mode.
xoom 2 support usb otg with stock firmware
I would go on eBay and buy an Angled USB OTG cable. I got two of them on their for around $7-$8. It's better because you don't have a wire sticking out of your tablet.
I'm paranoid on breaking my ports.

Well that's something in it's favor, anyway.
I read about few kernels offering USB OTG support and we need a externally powered keyboard or mouse to use it. How does it work with USB flash drives? Can we access data from that or do we need externally powered flash drives for it? Sorry if the question is stupid, yesterday was the first time i knew this was even possible in nexus s
They need to be powered from somewhere else, generally through a USB Y cable of some sort. Some devices require external power AND some power from USB, and this will again require the Y cable. Quite a pain considering the negligible power needed to run a USB, but then again the Nexus S wasn't expected to have even this much functionality anyway.
Hi, this my first post, I´m running AtrixperiaV4 now, and when I connect my phone over hdmi to my TV I can see the webtop interface but I can´t get the keyboard and trackpad on my phone display...I searched on the main Webtop thread, but I couldn´t find or interpret a solution, I´ll apreciate your help.
Thanks
Alessandro.
You'll need to plug in your own USB keyboard and mouse to your phone.
To do this , use an USB OTG (A male microUsb on one side and a female full sized Usb plug)
You'll also need a POWERED Usb Hub.
Hope this helps
Bluetooth works also.

Hi, I connected my keyboard and mouse with this method, but does not work, I used the OTG cable and powered hub and I saw in the display that it charge the battery , I've also tested with a "Y-USB cable" and the oem charger with a standard hub without luck, anyone can confirm if the atrix 2 Kernel supports USB-OTG ?
Thanks,
Sorry for the (very) late reply.
Since you are running a custom ROM, i'm not that sure whether the kernel supports USB OTG, but i'm absolutely sure that the stock rom ( both 2.3.6 and 4.0.4) supports USB OTG

Generally its a bad idea to try use your phone with phone specific features with a Generic-built rom (like CM).
In short, you want the atrix with atrix features, use a proper atrix rom.
Hello, im a 16gb opo owner so i always carry my flash drives everywhere. I kept data in there. So, i realy sucks my battery. Anyone know how do i charge n use otg at the same time? Ive been reading about otg y cable. But will it work coz some claim charge with otg was not defaultly enable to android devices. Idk. Maybe so kernel mod will make it usable. Can any1 verify this?
Hello everyone,
I'm not sure that this is possible on the HTC One M8, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a ROM that supports OTG + USB charging.
I would love to put my phone in it's mount in my car and connect it to a cable that allows it to be hooked into a usb hub and still be able to charge.
Thanks in advance.

I'm unable to test this since I don't have an OTG + USB cable, but out of curiosity have you tried it on the stock ROM, or any others. (I'd assume you have.. but just curious, as I'm wondering if there is something that needs to be added to support this in custom ROMs) - looking up the cables though, on Amazon they make this for M7/M8 - so I would think that at the least, the latest M8 stock VZW 4.17.605.5 ROM *should* already support this... - http://www.amazon.com/HTC-one-Micro-Host-Cable/dp/B00K133BQ6.
From my research most newer devices support this already. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3WRGWhlRpc
Also you may want to ask a MOD to move this to the Q+A section. (currently it's in Development).
