DIY OTG USB Host Cable (Keyboard and Mouse) - Galaxy S II Accessories

Few of these threads have been made, but not sure if anyone has shown OTG USB host cable work with USB dongle supporting a bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
I followed this scheme to connect the 4th pin ID to the 5th pin ground. The rest was very simple.

Let me know if you have any questions

I think there was a thread related to this matter already : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1070573&highlight=otg

That thread doesn't use a bluetooth dongle. Instead, it uses the built in bluetooth feature of the phone to connect to a bluetooth keyboard and mouse without using the OTG host usb. That's why I wanted to try it this way and see if it worked.

OTG cable
If i use OTG cable for my NOVO 7 paladin(tablet with Android Version 4.0.1) or Xperia ARC(Android version 2.3.4), can it support to my external USB device(like printer)?

Why don't you want to use the built in BT? Surely then you can output to a big screen or charge the phone.

mouse and keyboard also not detected by XPERIA ARC.

I don't have OTG cable?
Is OTG cable is required?
observation: Using USB HOST Controller Software(Available in Android market)
1) For NOVO 7 Paladin : USB HOST MODE is ACTIVE
:Keyboard, mouse not detected
2) For XPERIA ARC : USB HOST MODE not available or not Active
:Keyboard, mouse not detected

OTG doesn't work

I tried to pair wired mouse, wireless mouse and a gamepad with OTG cable and even with mini-USB to USB.
Nothng's working and it doesn't even read it.
Any ideas why and what should I do?
see
Issue 22038: USB OTG doesn't work at all.
ICS supports it but the Galaxy Nexus does not. there is a mod in the development section that allows USB devices to work.
you mean this:

They succeed in FROYO SENSE rom but no one do it now. I think it will work but we should use powered usb port to work them.

Xperia S 4.1 Jellybean LiveDock + USB on the Go

Hi, since the new jellybean update i can't hook my keyboard and mouse to the xperia s. I've been using the live Dock for this. But it doesn't recognize any input.
Can somebody try it with a standard usb-on the go cable?
Livedock is working, but it seems Mouse and Keyboard Support was dropped with Jellybean.
I always used my logitech mouse and keyboard combo and my xperia s as a media center.
Dropped? Impossible
I will check later with my keyboard and mouse, but I still have the mouse/trackpad speed setting in the language & input menu after updating to JB
UPDATE: Yeah, both keyboard and mouse work in JB using a standard usb otg cable. Must be a LiveDock thing.

What mouse and keyboard do you have? I'm using a Logitech Unified Wirless Keyboard and Mouse which worked on ICS with Livedock.
Is there any other solution besides the soyn livedock, to use keyboard and mouse while simulatenously charge the phone?

Live dock isn't recognized by the phone since the ICS Update, but i can use it to charge the phone while using a usb stick. The Phone now only rotates to landscape when the hdmi calbe is connected.
But its u bummer that my USB Keyboard+Mouse doesn't work anymore.
Sony DK10 LiveDock™ multimedia station works just fine as I see it.
I have tested it on an XPERIA LT26i v4.1.2 with 6.2.B.0.200 ROM with DoomKernel v1 on the following devices:
Aten 4 port USB switch
SanDisk 32GB USB FAT32 flash drive
SDcard/USB card reader
Targus 7 port USB powered hub
Old Dell wireless keyboard
Logitech mouse(non-unifying)
USB non-powered hub.
WD 320GB HDD (FAT32) via Targus powered USB hub.
Canon USB printer
All the above work while powering the phone with one(only) storage device connected at any given time.
A lot of keyboards and mouse(s) may work too, including Logitech mouse(s)/keyboards... just not 2.4GHz Logitech Unifying receivers.
Logitech Unifying receivers and Sony 6.2.B.0.200 ROM do not seem to play well together at the moment.
There is a new firmware release 6.2.B.0.211 coming soon, so fingers crossed this improves things.
The reason I sound so hopeful is that the Logitech Unifying Receiver does show up as a connected device and it doesn't create an error in doing so.
@DooMLoRD did indicate he would look at what options are available to get the back and middle context menu buttons working again on mice, as they stopped working in ICS onwards. Respect, if he can pull that one off. :victory:
Could it be because you where using DoomKernel? I'm on locked Bootloader and Stock Jellybean. I don't have those Options like in your screenshot.

It is possible.
I know I checked my DK10 LiveDock using a leaked 6.2.B.0.197 ROM without any modified kernel and nothing worked with only an error.
I was testing my Unifying USB mouse at the time as I was hoping against all hope, it'd work and we'd have back and context buttons...alas, I was disappointed.
I seem to remember then, just plugging in a SanDisk 32GB flash drive directly into the DK10 LiveDock on it's one USB port as a sanity test and that worked on a leaked ROM(but I could be wrong).
So then I just ignored my DK10 LiveDock until the official Sony 6.2.B.0.200 ROM came out.
Under normal operation, my DK10 LiveDock is connected to an Aten 4-Port USB switch as the first hop which is then farmed out(when device selected) to over 15 USB 2.0 ports which only takes one port to have a NTFS storage device and the whole thing goes pear-shape.
As an aside @DooMLoRD has listed NTFS MicroUSB port support in his Kernel too.
So, before I installed DoomKernel v1.0 which was only minutes after I installed 6.2.B.0.200 I'd not isolated the DK10 LiveDock and done a controlled test.
I only did a controlled test after DoomKernel v1 was installed, that's why I have an eclectic list of devices which I have tested and seen to work with the DK10 LiveDock.
When I installed the next Sony 6.2.B.0.211 ROM I'll update this post with my finding on the DK10 LiveDock before I install DooMKernel as I too, would like to see the Logitech Unifying mouse/keyboard working.
Just tried using my mouse and keyboard with an otg adapter and yep it no longer works for me too. The phone doesnt even show an error it just does nothing
There is a huge list of growing bugs in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2303276
Lets add our problem to that..
Sony DK10 LiveDock™ multimedia station
As promised, I have installed Sony 6.2.B.0.211 with root access, BUT no DoomKernel at this time.
I have not even done the first reboot after installing
Sony 6.2.B.0.211 fw.
I am able to connect and use the Sony DK10 LiveDock™ multimedia station.
The DK10 LiveDock™ multimedia station also powers my phone.
The DK10 LiveDock™ multimedia station is working with the following devices I have tested.
Aten 4 port USB switch
SanDisk 32GB USB FAT32 flash drive
Targus 7 port USB powered hub
Logitech mouse(non-unifying)
USB non-powered hub.
Directly connected to the DK10 dock, is an Aten 4 port USB 2.0 switch (which is display as a connected device) which is then connected to a Targus 7 port USB 2.0 hub.
As a giggle, an additional 4 port USB 2.0 non-power hub is just plugged into the Targus 7 port hub with a 32GB flash drive attached and that works.
I also have two Dell 24" IPS monitors with USB ports which all work in this melee.
This gives a combination of over 16+ USB ports connected/daisy-chained off the Sony DK10 LiveDock™ multimedia station and they all seem to be available.
Logitech 2.4GHz Unifying Mouse/keyboard still does NOT work!!!!
The Logitech 2.4GHz adapter is still shown as connected AND there is no noted errors related to this adapter when plugged in or removed.
Summary
With or without DoomKernel provided by @DooMLoRD the DK10 works and powers the phone on an XPERIA LT26i using Sony 6.2.B.0.211 fw.
Logitech 2.4GHz wireless Unifying adapters for Mouse/Keyboard still don't work.

[Q] usb

what is the difference between usb host and usb otg?

"Usb host mode" and "usb otg" are probably referring to the same thing, if this is what you are asking...
USB OTG
stamatis is correct.
I have an XPERIA M (C1905) with root access and a LOCKED bootloader.
My testing has shown the XPERIA M supports USB OTG and USB power charging, but not both at the same time[citation needed].
I have tested the following:
• External MicroUSB USB flash and SD card readers are supported directly attached to phone.
• My testing has shown MHL external connections don't work in the XPERIA M with Android 4.1.2 at this time.
MicroUSB port doesn't support power and data at the same time, which is a bad indicator.
• Sony DK10 Media Dock ONLY provides power. It can not provide USB data and power at the same time. Really means it doesn't work.
• Aten 4 port USB switch is supported †
• Targus 7 port USB powered hub is supported
• WD 320GB HDD is supported via a power USB hub
• Logitech USB Unifying mouse supported (sans back key and context menu on mouse) M950,M325 and M905 tested
• Logitech USB Unifying keyboard supported (Esc - Back and Alt-Menu - context menu) K800 and K400 keyboards tested
• The supplied microUSB power on the XPERIA M is greater than an XPERIA S, as I can mounted USB flashdrives on the XPERIA M which give a power consumption error on the XPERIA S. Still can't mount a USB powered WD USB HDD directly to the phone. You need a powered hub for that.
† - With the XPERIA M connected to an Aten 4 port USB switch it becomes one of four devices that can selectively use all supported USB devices connected in a desktop environment.
For me this feeds a Targus 7 port powered USB hub and a U2410 24" monitor with additional USB ports.
The SD/MMC card reader in the U2410 monitor is available too via the Aten USB switch too.
XPERIA M does seem to support higher powered USB 2.0 devices, but still draws the line before being able to directly support the likes of WDC USB 2.0 Hard Disk Drives.

Xbox 360 controller not working with otg!

Hi guys. I have a lg e975 with nitrogenOS and nitrogenex. I also have a otg y cable and sticks, mouses and keyboards are working. But my Xbox 360 controller doesn't work. I have the wireless version and the controller doesn't find the receiver, but the phone detects the receiver apparently. I think it's a detecting problem with the phone drivers. Is their a fix?
Thanks in advance!

Optimus G doesn't support OTG.. you've to install a custom kernel with USB OTG hack.. As i remember an old version of jollkernel has this feature.. I've used it with mass storage devices but never used a gamepad...
Ask @jollaman99 ,.about the version
I have a custom kernel + y cable.
