If device's WiFi isn't working then can we use a USB WiFi catcher router via USB OTG cable? Does it work?
If yes then how?
Please help
Infact I attached an external USB WiFi adapter via USB OTG cable to my device Sony Xperia Z5 which internal WiFi isn't working.
But It didn't work perhaps external USB WiFi adapter needs driver to install in my android device and I was unable to find even by Google search...
I don't understand what is this ****ty thing called driver and in this case apple devices are best they don't need any kind of drivers for any device, you plug any device in an apple device and you'll not have to install drivers for it just plug and play and enjoy.
Now this windows and Android are annoying in this case.....

good day to everyone. firstly, i would like to thank you for having the time to read my post.
well basically heres my inquiry, my unit is the alcatel tab t10. i never had any problems with it until recently, my device's usb port suddenly stops working.
tried unchecking the usb debug mode, tried checking it but to no avail, the usb still does not work. it doesnt seem to connect to my laptop. tried changing the cable.
i also tried connecting my device to my brothers laptop.
correct me if im wrong, but when the usb fails to connect to any laptop, their should be a notification in the laptop that the device is not recognized. but in my condition, no notification shows up. its like my device does not really connect at all.
oh and if it helps, i bought an otg cable before it started malfunctioning. but the only thing i had conneceted to my device is a wired mouse and a wired generic gamepad, which both seems to be working perfectly fine.
also, if i connect my device to a wired mouse, it would work perfecly fine. i could also connect to a usb flash drive, that is via the otg cable.
so whats weird is that the usb cable does not work, but the otg cable works fine.
if you have any question or any suggestion , i would truly appreciate it.
Hmm.....well the good thing is the port itself isn't "dead" as you can still utilize it for OTG. My only suggestion is make a backup of all your apps and data and try a factory reset.

thank you for the suggestion guitarman2010. unfortunately my usb port isnt still working. i also reflashed my device's current firware. but still wasnt the solution i was looking for. i was just wondering if there is a directory under the root folder that holds the devices usb driver? would it be possible that the device's driver itself got deleted? i wam still at awe that the otg cable still works like a charm.
and another thing, is the male usb pin the same with the flash drive's pin? cause if i connect the usb cable to the otg cable it wont work, but the flash drive works normally.
sorry for the amount of question im posting
thank you very much for the suggestion. especially when u told me that the port itself wsnt dead. i can now breathe easier..
and future suggestion and advice would be appreciated.
do you guys know how to access the phoneutil in tablet? maybe i should change the usb option to pda? but i heard that its only applicable to samsung 4.0.3 devices? suggestions are appreciated.
Hi I made this thread to find out how I can get USB OTG to work. I have cm 11 s3 mini and want to control my phone by a remote and plug ? flash drives in but have no idea how this works. Also if you could provide a link for a USB OTG cable it would be greatly appreciated. thank you

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.

Hi,
I have been trying to integrate usb webcam to my sony experia t3 phone through OTG cable since few days.I tried many apps which is available on play store for this purpose and none of the app worked. Except for two apps ,it showed "unknown device connected". OTG cable works fine if i connect to a pendrive ,but webcam doesn't work. And I am not able to get this information about my webcam whether it is a UVC supported one or not. So can anyone please resolve this issue.
PS:My phone is not rooted and android 4.4
I've been searching for an answer for this issue, so far no luck
TCL 40 inch Android Smart TV(not Rooted)
2 - USB 2.0 ports
1-USB 3.0 ports
1 2.0 usb camera
I have a 500gb WD(NTFS Format) and a usb stick both are being detected and working as it should when I first got the TV.
Suddenly it is not being detected anymore
Although both lights(External and USB) are blinking and if you touch the hard drive you can feel its running
but when I check the media devices connected its just detecting the SD card.
I tried switching usb ports(including the 3.0) but still not being detected
I use the usb camera to all the usb ports and its being detected
Tried another type of otg cable not detected.
I tried just using the usb stick, still not detected
Tried Factory reset on the Android TV but no helo.
and both(WD and usb stick) are being detected in my laptop, using thesame otg cable.
ES FILE Manager sees the devices but when I open it nothing will show up.
Tried stickmount no go as well
I installed USB host controller
and connect all the usb devices and it sees it
when I go to info(usb host controller)
Im getting S3C USB Host driver NOT Found
Root hub present, USB host mode is Active.
Not sure what that is but I tried searching it no where to download it.
I was configuring Kodi TV on the smart tv before the issue happened
so I decided to uninstall it and did factory reset.
Appreciate the inputs.
When I connect my POCO X3 to a USB 2.0 port on laptop, the device keeps disconnecting and reconnecting to the extent that my laptop notifies that this USB device is not recognizable. on connecting the device to a USB 3.0 port nothing happens. The phone is not even detected. Used the same cable to connect my POCO M2 PRO to the same USB 2.0 port on the laptop and all is fine. There is no issue in charging the device. Anyone else facing this? Is this a software issue? I hope so .
Is there an alternative way to transfer files (faster) from PC to phone?
Mine works fine on usb 3.0 but disconnects on 2.0. I did have adb drivers installed when I connected the phone.
use share me through wifi
Hey, I think you should try different USB port or system first. Even after doing so, still your USB keeps disconnecting and reconnecting then must reformat your USB drive. Hope this will help you…!
