How can this even be the case? It sees other HID devices in the same port, such as mice. If I plug a hub with a mouse and a gamepad, the box sees the mouse but not the pad. They both worked under Windows, so it isn't some connector problem.
Does it blacklist some devices specifically? Is there a way to know?
I have USB debugging off.

What USB devices can android froyo phones directly connect to at the moment (as host)? Any known printers, keyboards or game controllers?
If I were to chop the usb plug off my usb keyboard or PC game controller and replace it with a micro usb plug, then directly connect it to my phone, would the phone pick it up?
Would I need to write some kind of drivers for this? Has ANYONE else tried anything similar?
Bump.. I too would be interested to know if a usb keyboard or game controller can be plugged into an Eclair or Froyo handset?
I know there is a hack for it to be enabled, and I know that Honeycomb 3.1 has this built-in, but I want to make sure that it comes on the XOOM before I buy it. Meaning, can I get a Micro-USB to USB adapter and use things like USB Mouse and flash drive?
USB host is native to Honeycomb 3.1. You will need a USB host cable or the Motorola camera connection cable. Most adapters do not have all 5 pins wired out to enable host mode recognition from the xoom. But yes, it works out of the box.
It wont work out of the box to read thumb drives. It will read mice cameras keyboards.
You have to root to read external thumb drives and hard drives.
Rooting is on my todo list anyway.
So I bought a USB Female to microUSB male adapter for my phone and I was wondering what peripherals I can use with it.
I tried the XBOX 360 adapter that works with the tablets but it doesn't seem to work on my phone. Are there any that WILL work?
Just changing the "gender" of a USB device does not change it from being a slave device to being a bus host.
Unless you have a patch/ROM/hack that allows your device to work as a bus host (and I don't know of one for the Galaxy S4G), then you can't connect "peripherals" to your device, no matter how computer-like it seems to you.

Hello, I have a problem with Android
I'm on Gingerbread stock at my Xperia Neo V
Using USB OTG cable, I connected the Microsoft Wireless Mouse 1000 and everything is working great with one problem - the keyboard hides when I connect the mouse to USB port.
Device is reading this wireless dongle as a Microsoft Nano Transceiver v2.0 so I guess it's like a mouse and a keyboard for system, but I have only mouse.
My wired desktop mouse is detected as a USB Mouse and can use keyboard.
I have tried several keyboards but none worked - even OpenWnn with Use Hardware Keyboard unchecked.
Is there anything that I can do, maybe some keyboard?
Not sure if this is right category...
I have an old Pixel 2 with a touchscreen that doesn't work. I can connect a mouse with an OTG adapter and it works fine. I'm trying to get DeskDock up and running, however there's no way to click Allow on the "Allow USB Debugging?" prompt without unplugging the USB cable from the PC and plugging in the mouse.
Is there some sort of known hosts file that I can add that fingerprint value to manually?
Solution was to use the USB OTG mouse to connect a bluetooth mouse, then use the bluetooth mouse to accept the dialog, then make sure I'm connected as USB PTP.
