Hello guys
First of all I will excuse me for my bad English.
I've a question about the use of the USB OTG system. I'd like to use a general 3xUSB (female) to MicroUSB (male) cable in this way: 1 numpad/key arrows, 1 mouse and 1 port for charging the Android phone itself at a power point. Is this possible with the general cables in the stores? So not, does it exists and where must I pay attention(I don't really mean the OTG Y cables, because I can't find one with 2 USB (female) ports and I don't know where the energy gain from the Micro USB (female) port and charger is good for (Recharging phone or powering the USB port)
The reason I'll ask this is becuz I like to play Oldschool Runescape play easier on my mobile phone with XDSL Wheezy than I do now. I hope the mouse and numpad/key artows work already with it.
Greetings Delelith and thanks in advance!

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
Sent from my Motorola Atrix 2 MB865 running 4.0.4 stock using XDA app
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.
Mods, Wrong section? Please move it, Thank you for all the cleaning up and hard work, TCF38012
Hello,
I found an accessory set (3 items) that can let you use a keyboard and/or mouse with your Atrix 2. I havn't tested this yet but I'm pretty sure this works
Items required:
OTG USB Cable
USB Male to Male Cable
AC Powered USB Hub
Once you bought them and recieved them, you can connect the OTG to the phone and the Hub to the male-to-male and the male-to-male to the Hub and the whatever to the Hub and the Hub to the wall and you should have it working
If not, Then just post here/PM me and I'll help (If you willing to take a chance to purchase more accessories )
Cheers and good luck!!!

Did A2 supports OTG without kernel mod?
Sorry, i am new to this site but I wanted to know if I can use my standard USB charger, short out certain pins to be able to go into otg mode, I made my own female to male cable so I'm happy, but I was wanting to know if it was possible.
No. OTG uses different pins

You most definitely can, but you have to mod the 30-pin connector itself -- it can't be done on the other end of a USB cable. You will find all the info you need here:

Hi guys, a friend of mine have and old Samsung android based phone.
I was thinking about give it a better use as an android tv box/media player, but I have a few questions, main concerning USB OTG.
I could use a USB OTG Y cable, so I could charge the phone while using it, and still have the OTG... could I connect an USB hub to the OTG so I could use a USB mini keyboard and a mouse?.
My other problem is the micro usb port and the HDMI conection to the TV. I could use a cable to connect the phone to the TV but then I couldn't connect the USB OTG. It's possible to connect HDMI and still use USB OTG???

It's probably cheaper to just buy a chromecast.

I live on latin america. A chromecast is way more expensive than a bunch of cables.

Well... just so you know you can't have the phone charging and in OTG mode in the same time. Not even with adapters. This is because the current in USB can't flow in both directions in the same time (because there aren't enough dedicated wires)

Just try it and see if it works. Some devices could work while others would need a dedicated OTG cable
Thx fydtyh. I will update later

It depends on whether the phone is used as client or as host. If the phone is to be used as a client, normal USB cable is used. If the phone is to be used as host, a OTG cable is used. It is a matter of pinout order.

You can convert the USB C cable into a OTG cable by changing the pinout order as indicated in the following discussion. You will need an adapter to convert one USB C end into USB A.
How different is a normal usb cable from OTG usb cable?
Answer (1 of 8): Hey, So USB OTG cable is used to connect to a device (say your phone, tablet) when you want to use that device (say your phone tablet) as a host. So imagine you want to use a mouse with your android tablet, then you can use the OTG cable as shown in the figure below Major dif...

I know the diagrams show microUSB instead of USB C but the pinout order should still be the same for microUSB and USB C.
