Hi
Its just plug and play. You plug in the USB OTG cable to the phone's micro USB port and on the other end its a female USB port (the same like in your laptop or pc). So you just put in a pen drive and it will get detected on its own. You can open a file manager app and access it, or you can access it directly from any of your other apps (for example if you use MX player for seeing videos then the pen drive videos will automatically load up in the app as well).
To control your phone remotely I am guessing you mean keyboard/mouse?
If you plug in a mouse, a cursor shows up the next second and you have a working mouse. Same with a keyboard, works on its own. If you want to use both together, you need a wireless keyboard and mouse so that you can plug in the dongle to the otg cable, and then both the keyboard and mouse will instantly start working.
If you have a PS3 controller you can even connect that to your phone and use it to play many games - but this does not work via plug and play, you need to follow instructions to set this up and you can search on xda or google for that.
If you search USB OTG on amazon or ebay you will find loads of places to buy it from in your country.

USB cable for Streaming Movies?

Hry guys. New to Nvidia Shield. Was womdering if you can use the USB charging \ data cable and plug it into the usb port on the tv. Would this work? And do you need a special app to use it ?

I imagine that unless you are talking about reading some video files on your storage and playing those on the TV, no, it wouldn't work like that.
However, the Shield Portable does have a mini-HDMI port along with its micro-USB port. So you could just plug it into an HDMI port and you would have an instant mirror of your screen. In fact this is how you start up the "Console Mode" where you hook it to your TV and a charger, and you attach a Shield Wifi-Direct controller or a BT controller (or a wired USB controller I guess via a split charge/USB-OTG cable), and you have a nice way to stream your games from GRID, your comp, or native from the Shield to your big-screen TV.
TL;DR - No, wouldn't work. Don't need it though, you have an HDMI out on it.

[Q] Is it possible to connect a keyboard or mouse

Actually I have a Karbonn a18+ and there is a icon in phone of mouse and keyboard and when I open this it ask to open Bluetooth
I don't understand why it need to turn Bluetooth after that nothing happen ie Bluetooth is opened and search something.

Realme 4k stick - OTG USB keyboard not working

Hi guys.
Just bought a Realme 4k stick with google tv.
I used to have an android 7 tv box with mouse and keyboard.
For some reason on google tv the mouse and keyboard does not work properly.
When I go to settings it expects keyboards moves so if I click on mouse it always click on the first option.
On netflix app I can´t choose the profile on mouse, the same problem, it expects some keyboard left right, not a mouse click.
At my old android 7 tv box, the mouse right button was a back key on menu. All worked well with this setup of back and forth...

I have a hub with external power delivery where i connect power charge then connect micro usb to stick all works but when I connect any external (Mouse, kboard, usb drive) nothing happens.
