Hi,
I have a Kindle fire HD 8 8th gen 2018. When I plug in the otg cable it does not respond and shows otg in the left hand corner but there are no files.
I am using this cable Rii F1 Micro USB Host OTG Adapter Cable Micro USB to USB For Smart TV Compatible with Rii Keyboards Logitech Keyboards and Nintendo Switch SNES NES Classic
Rii F1 Micro USB Host OTG Adapter Cable Micro USB to USB For Smart TV Compatible with Rii Keyboards Logitech Keyboards and Nintendo Switch SNES NES Classic. I use this cable on my Kindle fire 7 the 2017 and can connect usb to it to watch films etc. I am trying to replicate the same thing on the Kindle 8.
The kindle 8 is my dad’s and I am helping him.
Also does anyone know how to charge and otg at the same time? As on kindle 7 I can watch usb but not charge.
Thanks,
C

Attached a run-of-the-mill OTG cable to my 8th gen HD 8 (unlocked, rooted but otherwise stock FireOS); no issue recognizing and reading files using FX File Manager off an equally benign flash drive. FireOS also saw the drive.
You can not charge and OTG simultaneously on these low end gizmos. Likely a kernel limitation.

XBOX 360 Controllers + USB TYPE A FEMALE 2 FEMALE ... Not working ... Anyone else having issues with there XBOX360 controller Thanks.
what controller?
obviously using a wired controller? or are you using standard controller with the usb charging cable? did you try and OG xbox controller?
Maybe you need a usb 3 adaptor to get it working, just like for charging.

I'd be interested to see if works through the dock to see if its a driver issue or an issue using an adapter through the charging cable. Does the charge port output any power?
Are the lights on the controller on or off?

Lights are on when plugged in. I will have to try it with an USB3 cable tonight.

Wait... this is still not clear from your answers. Are you using:
A) Wireless X360 controller attached to USB via the Plug and Play charge kit
B) Wired X360 controller
If you are using A, you cannot communicate to the device via the USB connection. That is for charging only. No control signals can pass to the controller using that connection.
If you are using B there should be no cable to replace since the wired controller is hardwired.
to my understanding, only a true wired 360 controller will work. the wireless through plug and play or windows dongle will not work. i can attest to that as i've tried both with no luck.
The windows wireless dongle works on rhe xoom. I don't see why it doesn't work on my asus
I have the true wired controller and used that female adapter from amazon and it didn't work at all.

I have a wired Xbox360 controller and it doesn't work on the TF101.
I have the keyboard dock and 3.1.
When plugged in, the green lights flash but it's not picked up in any apps as an input method.
I think the 360 support may be broken.

+1 My wired 360 controller does not work when plugged into my dock with 3.1. However, my PS3 controller with attached usb cable does work
i have tried 2 generic usb contols from GAME, both light up and are powered, but neither show any input in any apps or games.
has anyone here got any game control to work yet?
this is a bug with the transformer
wired 360 controllers work with the xoom. this is an asus bug.
please report it to asus by calling them:
http://service.asus.com/callus.html
or emailing them:
http://vip.asus.com/eservice/techserv.aspx
as of now they're not even acknowledging this. the only way to get it fixed is to get it some visibility by reporting it.
You need to make sure your using a keybiard dock and are running updated stock asus firmware/Rom and the xbox controller is fully wired, the detatchable usb charging wire is only for charging, my wired madcatz controller will work natively while my wireless controller pluged in with the usb cable will not

you know the last post in this thread was more than 2 years ago, lol.
I'm planning on buying OTG adapter to use usb keyboard/gamepad etc. But is it possible to both charge GTab 2 10.1 and use some usb device if said OTG adapter has multiple usb ports?
Anyone? Help, please :crying:
I know of no such device that will allow for charging and USB keyboard. You may be able to hook up multiple USB devices but no voltage will be passed back to the tablet.
My personal recommendation is to charge via USB and use a bluetooth keyboard. I also recommend patience with the forums.

This may be one of the needed pieces. I use it to connect a 1TB Seagate potable drive. I have seen some hubs but the reviews are not encouraging.

Have you considered Bluetooth. My MS keyboard and mouse connect fine as my Logitech tablet specific ones. I imagine there are BT game controllers too.

PS3 controller comes to mind. I have also used the WII controller to great effect.
Hello!
I don't have a dock and I was wondering if anyone has successfully connected a wired Xbox360 controller through the usb adapter (40 pin to female usb) to use with emulators. I've read that using a female to female usb adapter with the charging usb cable doesn't work (only works with low powered devices) but I'm wondering if it works with this other adapter. My concern is that the tablet won't be able to directly power the controller.

It will work fine, i was just trying to get a wireless xbox 360 controller working last night(From a dock). it connected fine, but was having issues with dead trigger so i gave up and brought an ps3 controller. Weigh up whether the ps3 controller is worth getting against the adaptor/ 360 controller, becouse the ps3 controller is ideal for the tablet (bluetooth connection)

I want to use it with emulators so I don't really mind if it doesn't work with some android games. I already have a wired Xbox controller and one of those adapters cost 20$/15€, so it's much cheaper than getting a PS3 controller.
But it's great to hear that it will work, thanks!
Any reason why the shield won't recognize my usb wireless keyboard? I can connect a wired Xbox 360 Controller through my OTG adapter, but when I connect the usb adapter for the mouse/keyboard, it won't recognize that there is a keyboard & mouse connected. My nexus 7 recognizes both when I use it, and so does my galaxy note 3. I'd love to be able to use this as opposed to having to buy a new bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
I'm using a logitech k400 keyboard with the touchpad and a logitech wireless mouse, model mk215, and they're using a unifying receiver.
I went to Best Buy and picked up a Dynex 7 port USB hub that is powered externally, and so far, the powered hub is not making a difference. Still not registering that the wireless keyboard/mouse are connected. Confirmed that hub works when connected to pc as well as my nexus 7, but not on the shield.
This will be supported in the update Monday its in the notes on things updating
I just did the update and plugged in a mouse via OTG cable and it seems to be working fine. Makes stuff like Plants vs Zombies really playable having a mouse.

I'm using a K400 and it works just fine. Both the keyboard and mouse pad are working great. I plugged in the OTG connector with the dongle already plugged into it and it wasn't recognized. I had to first plug in the OTG cable and then plug the dongle into the OTG.
The logitech unify devices work great with the Nvidia Shield.
HOWEVER, you MUST install the latest Unify software on a PC, link all the Unify devices to the same Unify transceiver you are going to use in the Shield. After linking everything you want to use, then unplug the Unify dongle and plug it into the Shield.
Why can't these instructions be included somewhere in the Logitech manual that came with my keyboard. What a waste of my time.

I agree. What a waste of time replying to a post from over a year ago.
So here's what I have-
A galaxy s8
A usb type c to micro sub adapter
An otg cable for micro usb to use 2.0
A usb 2.0 Xbox 360 controller
I stick them all together but it doesn't work. How can I solve this? Any ideas.

Why do you need the micro USB converter? Doesn't Xbox 360 connects to a regular USB? Doesn't your s8 comes with an OTG {USB 3 to regular USB)?

My phone is usb type c. So I convert type c to micro usb port and then micro usb to usb 2.0 port and then I use the Xbox 360 controller. No it was a gift. Maybe they kept the usb c to usb 3.0 converter.
Maybe you can get a regular OTG for USB-C. Then connect the Xbox 360 directly to it using the cable that comes with the Xbox 360.
Although I have that USB-C to micro USB converter that comes in the box to. I realized that sometimes you need to flip the USB-C for it to work on some devices.
