Gamepad not getting detected through OTG - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Hi, I recently purchased an Honor 8 and started using its Otg with pen drive and mouse etc. However upon attaching a redgear gamepad which works well with my previous devices is not getting recognized by my Honor 8. upon using a diagnostic USB oTG app from playstore it says os and kernel support it but kernel does not detect it. Why is this happening?
Any solutions would be welcome.

Note 10.1 and OTG

Hi.
Now and then I use my OTG connnector for things such as a pendrive or my xbox 360 controller.
I'm having a hard time fot the tablet to read them so I found my work around is to reset my device and then connect either one of them and not as intended....kind of annoying of course.
Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong ?
Thanks

With the latest Galaxy Note 10.1 update in the UK, suddenly I can't run the PS3 controller or USB Memory card reader that I used previous to the update. Fortunately, though, they both still work on my Galaxy Note phone. I would be interested in finding out if there is a workaround to get USB OTG working again on my 10.1

From everything I've read, OTG is problematic on JB 4.1.2. Some report certain OTG cables work while some report that none work. The bad news is that Google broke Bluetooth on JB 4.2 and still can't resolve that issue with the latest release. Truthfully, I'm happy to sit back and let Nexus device users discover major bugs introduced in the constant stream of updates that Google pushes out. They end up doing the beta testing that Google doesn't seem to do very well in house. I wish Google would take the time to thoroughly beta test in house and only release an annual update. They really have egg on their faces with the Bluetooth fiasco.
Otg is working for me with 4.1.2 stock, rooted N8010XXUCMA8
I tried samsung usb connector, powered usb hub with wireless keyboard/mouse, thumbdrive fat32, and hard drive (one partition ext4).
All worked together. Windows fat formatted partitions on thumbdrive and hard drive mounted automatically, ext4 mounted ok manually.
OTG works for me also... My main issue is that sometimes I have to reboot my tablet in order to get my pen drive or Xbox controller working... A little annoying

Nexus Media Importer
I tested the Nexus Media Impoter App on my Note 10.1 German Stockrom (ma8)..
And now I can read from my hard drive with external power ,which is formated to NTFS..
The problem is that after I connected the hard drive to my note 10.1 it shows me a notification : Clear Storage or something like that..
please don´t touch on it ! after a few seconds pops up a message from nexus media importer in the middle of the screen to accept media importer as default app.. after that Nexus media importer starts and i can read on my hard drive
The App lets you only read and copy (not tested yet) from the hard drive!!!
To close the app tap on settings in the top right corner and chose disconnect !!
The app will close and the " Clear Storage" notification will show up but that doesn´t matter my hard drive was succesfully disconnected.
I hope I could help someone who want only read from his hard drive
ah and video plays very smooth
last but not least i don´t know if it works for everyone!!
sorry for my bad english

At times like these I use USB Host Diagnostics by Chainfire
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1493325
just tap on Star diagnostics and it should reset whatever that is stuck, no need for system reboot

Do this.
Unplug your otg cable from you galaxy note 10.1
Download an app called "usb otg helper" (the free version) from the google play store.
Run the app
Plug you usb drive into your otg cable
Plug your otg cable into your galaxy note 10.1
A window will pop up. Check the box that say something along the lines of "let usb otg helper handle all usb devices plugged into this device"
A file manager window should open on top of the usb otg helper app (astro file manager popped up on my screen)
In that file manage window, navigate to your storage folder. Is your storage folder, you should see sdcard01 (this is your internal sd card [16gig or 32 gig, depending on which version of the tablet you bought]), extsdcard (if you have an external sd card loaded in your slot), and UsbDriveA (the usb drive you plugged into your otg cable)
If you checked the box that asked if you want usb otg helper to handle all of your usb devices, the usb otg helper app will always automatically mount your usb drive everytime you plug in your usb drive via the otg cable.
IMPORTANT NOTE
in order for your galaxy note 10.1 to recognize your usb drive, YOU MUST PLUG YOUR USB DRIVE INTO YOUR OTG CABLE before YOU PLUG YOUR OTG CABLE INTO YOUR TABLET.
otherwise your tablet will only recognize the otg cable, and not the usb device.
I need more time to figure out the deal with the ps3 controller.
My HTC One S used to recognize my ps3 controller at one point and now the same ps3 controller is not being recognized by my galaxy note 10.1 or my htc one s.
I think that my problem with my ps3 controller has something to do with me getting the ps3 controller to work with games on my windows pc.
Once I figure out the solution to the ps3 controller issue, I'll post it here.
Ir this helped you, hit the thanks buttom.

it's the reason why i will never upgrade to jellybean on my note 10.1 i play a lot of gta 3 on it and i don't want to use the touch screen for controls, that would be horrible, i'm hoping that with 4.3 hopefully the problem can be resolved but i won't hold my breath on that matter.
Doesn't work for me, unfortunately. USB devices are only recognized immedeately after a reboot. The OTG helper app doesn't change that.
Mine works well on stock rooted. With a usb hub with 2 8gb pen drives, one formated to ntfs.

Unstable connection with Xbox 360 wireless controller

I'm trying to get my Xbox 360 wireless controller and wireless receiver (Chinese knockoff that works perfect on PC) I had laying around to work with my OPO. Sadly this has been harder then I expected. I have ran into the following problem. After I reboot my phone and the receiver is connected through a OTG USB cable, my controller is connected to my OPO and I can move in menus and play a SNES game for example. The problem however is that this connection remains for a very short amount of time, it seems that the phone stops seeing the USB device that is connected. When trying other USB devices this problem does not occur, I tried a USB stick and a USB mouse. Once the connection is lost the only way to regain connection is to reboot the phone.
I have no idea why this is happening
I've tried many settings and tested a lot of stuff:
I followed the steps in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792531
I also messed around with other product ID settings related to xbox 360 controllers: http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids
On my Windows 7 PC I used USBview.exe to see with which ID the receiver/controller combination was identified which was: 045e 0291 (Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows)
I used the app USB Device Info to see if my OPO was detecting anything via the OTG cable. As mentioned above after a few seconds ~ < 1min it just disappears.
I've searched in general with Google and specifically on XDA and the OPO forums but I've not found a similar problem with regards to the disconnection problem.
Anyway, if someone here has experience with wireless xbox 360 controller on the OPO or USB devices that disappear. Help would be appreciated!
I think I might have found why this will not work correctly, the default kernel of the OPO doesn't have xpad.ko.
Alex240188 said:
The problem is that there are no drivers for the Xbox 360 control pad.
You need xpad.ko for the controller to work and ff-memless.ko for the vibrators.
Unfortunately these have to be built for the kernel you are running and as far as I know nobody has built any for the nexus 5 yet

This OPO kernel has xpad.ko included, I might check it out and see what happens.

Problem with Ipega 9068 on windows 10

Hello everyone.
I'm facing a weird problem with the controller Ipega 9068, on windows 10.
After i link it with my computer, via either bluetooth or usb cable i can only play so far one game with this controller, all the other games (which of course support gamepad controller) don't work, i even tried to use x360ce and joytokey, but still it doesn't work.
Games doesn't recognize it.
When connected via usb the controller is recognized as "ps(r) gamepad".
Is that maybe the source of the problem?
Thanks in advance.
Have the same problem man.... no solution at all.....trying to send an e-mail to ipega...if i receive a answer that fixes our problems i'll post it in here all right?
It's a great controller that get's recognized with usb cable but it doesnt work in any game that i tested.
It's a shame.

[HELP] MI TV STICK - enabling eternal storage

Hi, i recently get a mi tv stick, it only come will 8GB internal storage and with no spare usb port to connect external drive, so i get myself a Y-splitter to hook up my thumb drive.
however, MI TV Stick cannot detect it, i try to use FS explorer to check, but it shown ' this device does not appear to support the android storage access framework:
anyone know how to fix it?
Hi There i am facing the same problem - USB Stick not recognized by MI TV Stick - furthermore it is not even powered since the blue LED is not on (working with Fire TV Stick)
This is what I tried so far:
1.) use USB OTG Checker apk --> result: Device support USB OTG
2.) Contact Xiammi about this issue - reply:
I would like to inform you that the Xiaomi Mi TV Stick has a micro-USB port which unfortunately is not OTG and is not suitable for connecting other peripherals.
Is there a "workaround" to this issue?
Thanks for your reply
Any updates with getting OTG to work on the Mi stick?
