SO I read on here in a different section that some one did have some luck pairing a PS3 controller via an OTG cable, but here is where I have a problem, the OTG cable I have is mini to standard, not micro to standard, so the option I have would be sort of reversed. I would plug in the charging cable from my phone, plug the USB end of that into my OTG cable where it would connect to my PS3 controller at the other side.
I didn't see how there could be a problem with this but something doesn't seem right, I haven't been able to get it to pair.
I have tried USB/BT Joycenter and scanned for deviced both bluetooth and USB but nothing shows either.
Is there something I am missing? Do I need to reset the PS3 controller because it may be searching for a PS3? Or is it just not going to work and require root.
For the first time ever I have been hesitant to root a phone as I am quite liking this recent android version and just came back from the horrific windows phone. There are obviously still some connectivity issues in the Moto G so I wanted to wait until they were ironed out and then see how I felt about it.
If some one can enlighten me as to what I can do to fix this, Please explain in full, I don't want to just hear "You can't", If I can't, I want to know why I can't and some other people can.
Thanks, David
PS here's what I mean

I'm planning on buying OTG adapter to use usb keyboard/gamepad etc. But is it possible to both charge GTab 2 10.1 and use some usb device if said OTG adapter has multiple usb ports?
Anyone? Help, please :crying:
I know of no such device that will allow for charging and USB keyboard. You may be able to hook up multiple USB devices but no voltage will be passed back to the tablet.
My personal recommendation is to charge via USB and use a bluetooth keyboard. I also recommend patience with the forums.

This may be one of the needed pieces. I use it to connect a 1TB Seagate potable drive. I have seen some hubs but the reviews are not encouraging.

Have you considered Bluetooth. My MS keyboard and mouse connect fine as my Logitech tablet specific ones. I imagine there are BT game controllers too.

PS3 controller comes to mind. I have also used the WII controller to great effect.
I recently bought an otg cable for my tab 2 7.0, a d I tried keyboards , mouses and flash drivers, but when I plug a controller of any type, it just powers but the tab doesnt read it,and also when I plug in my phone it just charges without any data transmission .
But I found out recently that by connecting a USB hub I could use the controllers and the phone normally without any problem , so can any one please help me here as I don't want to make a series of connections just to connect a simple controller.
Try plug your external device to the OTG cable first and then plug the OTG to your Tab 2.

Didnt work and i tried the card reader and it doesn't work also
Edit : only wireless mouses and keyboards work
How would it work with a normal hub and it doesn't work without it?
So you could try,
Plug the usb otg
Then plug in a usb hub (with 3/4/6 usb ports on it.)
And I believe it needs to be a power based hub, that would possibly Work then.

The problem is that i don't need to plug in a POWERED hub, the ordinary hub works well with it @[email protected]
Sounds to me like you have some sort of a connection issue -captain obvious- and gonna guess your usb on the go cable does not give a solid connection
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app
can you to be more specific? cause if what you say is correct then how does every thing work when i connect the hub to a damaged cable?
Here's an idea.
My Xperia s could not use a ps3 wired controller it used to say 'power output unavailable etc etc' (but wired mouse and kboard Work fine )
But my Xperia z and Asus tf300 can use the ps3 controller wired with no issues
With shadowgun deadzone, gta 3 , max Payne etc..
This is why I recommended a powered hub.
As mouse and keyboard don't need much power to operate
But the controller does for some odd reason
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2
i can use a non powered hub without any problem , i don't think it is a power problem at all
the problem is that there is not data transmission with some devices like wired mouses, keyboards and controllers while some others work fine like flash drivers and wireless mouses and keyboards.
But when i plug in a simple USB hub all work just fine the wired and wireless devices.
could it be that the otg doesn't work with usb 2.0 devices?
U need to download an app called usb jostick center 7 its an app that u use so I recognizes the remote(i leave link below) I use my tab 2 7.0 (p3110) with xbox controller with dead trigger, gta vice city, gta3 etc. But u need this app fir it to work!
Regards. Mitchell
Press thanks if I helped!

Actually i am using Usb Host Controller to see if the device is read by the tab or not, and when i plug in the controller without the hub , nothing is detected at all
Sounds like you have a bad OTG. Check my signature for a good OTG cheap on Amazon ($6.99). Hope this helps.
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.
I found a keyboard on eBay that connects via micro USB, and it is meant to be used with a generic 7inches tablet. Before buying it I would like to be sure that the fire tablet has no limitations on the micro USB port, can anyone help me? I couldn't find a sure answer on google
this tablet supports USB OTG which means you CAN connect a pen drive, mouse, keyboard.. and I am almost 100% sure you can connect this keyboard BUT you may have problems with recognizing all keys on the keyboard or problems with different typing languages.. I guess you need to try it to know for sure.. and please let us know if you do..

Two success stories:
- Connected an inexpensive wired USB keyboard via cheap OTG adapter (here). Keyboard instantly/silently recognized. No soft keyboard on input fields. Disconnect the physical keyboard and soft keyboard immediately pops up. Elegant and effortless.
- Grabbed a wireless Logitech K360 attaching receiver to same OTG adapter. Worked perfectly! Instant wireless keyboard. No messing around with Bluetooth. Woohoo!!
I realize this is old news to anyone with a 'normal' tablet that natively supports OTG. First time I got it to work with a Fire (my daily driver is a HDX with lacks hardware support for OTG).
I've been using a Samsung BKB-10 bluetooth keyboard, which I grabbed for $10 on at&t's website a few weeks ago, and it works great!! Every button works.
I am running CM 12.1, so I can't vouch for the stock firmware, but it does work excellent on the CM rom posted here!!
Yes, I use a USB Hub and various devices at the same time on my Fire 7. All of them work - at the same time.
You can hook up a Keyboard and a mouse and a usb stick and a printer, that all of them will work just fine.
USB-OTG is beautiful.
Can you give more detail on the usb hub? I guess you need it to provide power and data pass through, but I can only find one or the other online

Can not power (charge) and use OTG devices simultaneously. It's one or the other.
Hi,
So I have Galaxy J7 2017 with newest Android and I want to play some games which support game controller with my PS4 pad. I can connect the pad with my phone via bluetooth and both devices see each other, they are connected as it showed on most you tube video instructions. But my phone or games does not react when I'm pushing buttons, just nothing happens. There is no much solutions on the internet, so far I have found only one info that 1st version of PS4 with controllers v1 have some blockade. So my question is what can I do to bypass it? Is there any software?
Also I have read tips to buy OTG cable but this is USB<->miniUSB cable, so how it can work since my phone and pad have both miniUSB only? Does OTG cable have some microchip inside? Or can I just buy miniUSB<->miniUSB cable and it should work?

You can probably get a USBMicro USB adapter cheaper than you can get a cable, the adapter will allow you to use the cord that goes with the controller by connecting it to the end of the cable then connecting to your device.
It's what I use for USB and OTG devices instead of an OTG cable.
