Did, nothing happens, maybe it's the cord itself but I can't be sure because I have no other otg capable devices.

Yes, I'm sure the one I got is faulty because it didn't have a hard time getting into the port. As if it was used and worn out.

Newer phones come with a slightly modified port I think

Nah I misread what I wrote. I was quoting the guy above me who said it is in newer phones and was wondering what certain date/ model. I can connect but I get an unknown USB device error.

What type of cable makers? OEM or other?

I just tried another blaze and it works for that cable.

If you bend the inside of the port on your phone towards making the small side bigger it works.

Glad you figured it out ??
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T769 using xda app-developers app
Uninstall USB drivers and than plug in the blaze and let your PC recognize it or go to the T-Mobile site and DL the drivers. I've had that happen when I plugged in other phones, most recently when I got my s4. It wouldn't let me open the folders for the blaze. It would flash on than off. Just don't plug the other phone in again after you get the drivers. If it still don't work try regedit and see if its leaving behind traces after the uninstall of the drivers.:good:

[Q] otg support without external power source

Is there any method to get otg support on the nexus s without an external power source?

Nexus S cannot supply enough power to external devices. This is because of old hardware.
Even if you connect a device, I doubt if you'll have a good experience using USB OTG.

But not for that much In your case, by and large, it's enough to get to another PC and put ONLY CWM - then all you can do

[Q] Does the Note 12.2 generate enough power to run mass storage devices

Does the Note 12.2 generate enough power to run self powered mass storage devices? or we have to use powered USB Hub ?
My note pro doesn't run any kind of mass storage devices ( I'm not rooted )
One says external power needed and the other one keep ticking .
my Note 3 run them with no problems.
any one with note pro pls test and advice back.

I tried one on my NotePro but no joy: but, then I can't even get a flash drive to mount. The drive works fine with my older Xoom. With the NotePro it doesn't even power up.

Which USB ptg cable do you have? I have a couple of different ones. I managed to get one of them to let me connect my dive computer and download, but not any of the drives.
I have one that converts the USB 3.0 micro B to a standard USB. It seems to be pretty good. It is a solid piece instead of a cable, but it doesn't work with anything, including my dive computer.

It is rooted. But I don't believe that is relevant. I have done nothing extra aside from adding a theme and adding apps for multi window

Did you try to use Mass storage before rooting? as one of the posters mentioned that root will give extra permission to fire mass storage with out external power? he said root and instal stick mount / folder mount and enjoy.
I'm afraid to root before making sure that it is not a hardware problem as service center in our area don't know Even that we can mount mass storage device.

I did not try before root as it is the very first thing I did right after peeling off the plastic and powering it up. What is your reservation about rooting?

I dont have any?? I rooted mine as soon as it was available. I was just making sure the answer provided before hand had taken into account that the original posters hard drive was not powered by its own power source. It wasn't clear from the answer I quoted beforehand. I dont see the point in any android device without root.

I agree root is a must but once root warranty will void so i need to make sure that device is free off hardware problems (which I'm not sure).

No issues here.
I just tested a stick as well as my wireless mouse, both work fine.
No problem for me. Was able to restore my titanium backup from my usb stick.
