Amazing, so far we've had root, extra buttons on the dock (menu), better settings for auto-brightness and now this - and all from one dev.

superb, this is great news - thanks Paul. Your work really is highly appreciated

Great job Paul
Just wondering does that enable both UMS, PTP and MTP or is it a toggle between UMS and PTP + MTP?
Edit: Oh, my bad i thought you were referring to the storage on the device (Because i saw you had /mnt/sdcard/) not USB-OTG

USB keyboard and mouse works too...
P

Assume a USB-OTG dongle is required? Recommend one? Thanks.

I just bought a cheapo off eBay IIRC.
P

Got a link to said auction?
Thanks Paul for all your hard work.

That is a stock feature? I mean if I get that phone I can connect a usb key with a simple USB adapter?

nope, not a stock feature of GN, only after the custom kernel. ICS supports it already.

I've got the cable, now how do I use it? Running Modaco ROM. Plugging in my pendrive doesn't seem to do anything, do I need to manually mount?

this is awesome. Now i just hope i can plug in my 1TB external, then no need to worry about 16GB of internal

This is so awesome, once I get my nexus ill be doing this!

This one works fine, even though it's not advertised as being an OTG cable:

Edit: just noticed it went up in price. I ordered it like a week ago and it was 2.99 back then.

Anyone find anything? Thanks in advance!
What about buying both of those? Or the second one and some generic stand-arm. Usually the attachment on the back is either universal, or easy to drill the holes neccessary to combine them.

it's not exactly the same, but get the official one. it has the built in micro usb port, and the docking mechanism is a locking vacuum mechanism you can adhere to the windshield (or dash, or whatever is smooth)

Yea I of course have seen that one. Unfortunately I don't think I would have anywhere to stick it, and my windshield is too far away. Plus, doesn't that render your microsd card useless...ie I couldn't listen to music?
You can still listen to your music from the SD card with the Sprint mount. You just can't use the phone as a portable drive because the data port is being used by the charge adapter built into the mount.

Micro USB OTG Host Adapter

If anyone is looking for a cheap micro usb otg host adapter to use to attach usb devices (thanks to DooMLord here), I ordered these from DealExtreme a few weeks ago and they just came in. Worked like a charm to mount a usb stick on my Arc. $2.20 with free shipping, no taxes as they marked it as a gift:

Powered USB OTG adapter

Has anyone come across a USB OTG adapter that can also be used to charge the Note 10.1? I wouldn't want it to require power, but if there were an optional ability to plug the power cable into the USB adapter, it would allow charging and use of the USB device at the same time...
regards,
/alan

OP, you can charge the GN 10.1 while using OTG cables if you have the special Samsung dock for the GN 10.1, which is expensive and hard to find right now; this special dock has an additional 30 PIN connector in the back into which you can plugh OTG cables.

Where does the charger connect here?
This is just a stand. There is no usb or mhl port here.
That's a shame
Thanks, guys...
I just order the Juiced OTG.
The reviews on Amazon say it works with the Note 10.1 and there are a few YouTube videos of people using it with their Note 10.1. You have to use a micro USB cable and not the Samsung USB cable to charge it.
Oh, I like that. Thanks! Just ordered one from Amazon UK. Looks identical, £1.39 delivered. I have no idea how they can possibly sell it so cheaply but since amazon is underwriting it I guess I can't lose... Amazing!

The best option would be to get a bluetooth keyboard and mouse and allshare. This way you can have the Note plugged while using all the rest. And when you want to use a usb you unplug it and then plug it again. This is what I do. It is quite expensive to get all the above but at least they work.
The Ekit is the identical item of the Juiced USB OTG
Amazon UK sell them here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/eKit-Connection-Compatible-Galaxy-10-1/dp/B006LWAR9U
I've got one out for dispatch.

RJ45/LAN cable connector?

Is there a RJ45/LAN cable connector available for our Nexus 7?
I have installed a few very useful apps (IP tools, Fing, etc), they all work great but of course I need a WIFI connection before they are really useful.
At work I'm often in situations where there is no WIFI available or you just need to test through cable.
At the moment I need my laptop for this, would be great if I can do all with only my Nexus at hand.
Would such combination work on our beloved Nexus 7 (2013)?

Thanks! I ordered an Edimax EU4208 which has the same chipset (AX88772B) as yours so hopefully it will work!
Also ordered a separate OTG cable.

Click to collapse
Thanks, I'll let you know!
Just be careful what OTG cable you get. I have found a lot of them being very finicky! You can constantly lose you network connection.
Just received my OTG cable and Edimax EU-4208 (usb lan cable with ASIX AX88772B chipset) and it does not work OTB.
After flashing the bootloader through ADB mentioned here & here I can confirm it does work!
When doing a speedtest through http://speedtest2.nl and downloading a 1000mb.bin file I get a speed of 8 - 9MB/s.
Multiplied by 8 gives me a nice 70mbit/s, which should be pretty decent for an USB2.0 usb LAN cable.
(I have a 120mbit cable connection)
Only downside I found it does not add an ethernet option to my Android Settings Menu.
That sucks because I'm not able to set any network settings this way (IP, DNS, Subnet, Gateway etc).
Is there a way to add this? The OTG cable + lan adapter is purely for network testing etc, so setting an IP, DNS etc would be kinda mandatory.
Also a few apps do not work without a wifi connection, for instance: Fing. Is there a way to trick the apps? I already tried an XPosed module called: Hack Connectivity Service without luck...
