USB OTG Help !!! - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Today i bought a USB OTG cable.i am running full stock 4.0.4 . when i plug the USB OTG cable to my phone & then to my Mouse it does not work.all i see is my mouse led lights up for about 5 seconds then turns off.the same thing happens with my keyboard also.
My question is -
--> Do i have to make some settings changes ?
--> Install some kind of application ?
--> or is there something wrong with my OTG cable & i need to replace it ?

dude first install the usb modules on your phone...
go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1588979

I installed the Modules but still nothing happens.it's the same.
Update : when i insert the USB cable of mouse half way then the mouse's LED lights up & stays but nothing happens the the mouse does not work.no cursor appears.
may b there is a prob with my OTG cable . i am thinking of changing it tomorrow.
thanks for the support.

did u install that app? did u install modules for stock kernel? did u try connecting pen drive?

yes i did all of those things . when i plug in the pen drive it's led lights up but in cell phone i don't get any indication of any new device found. . .

Stock ROM doesn't need any modules. I use Nokia N8's OTG cable, and it works fine. The mouse cursor comes immediately after connecting the mouse. The cable may be a faulty one or, it is for Samsung phones only, and since Samsung uses different wiring, so it is not working properly I guess..
Sent from my LT15i using xda app-developers app

Yes i got the problem Fixed .turns out it was a faulty Cable.got it replaced & now its working fine..
Thanks for all your support ...

Weird USB TV Tunner issue with Desire

When i connect Desire to my PC, my USB TV Tunner stop work, i try'd to switch both devices in diff usb slots no diff. There was no problem with HTC Touch Pro. weeeird.
Does this have any solution at all ?
Sounds like your PC doesn't have enough power to power up both devices.
Good point there, just tested it, turned of my external USB HDD but still no diff. I don't get it, well everything new brings you new trouble with all the goodies ofc
It stops my net working, I have to reboot once I have disconnected usb.

[Q] Keyboard

Hi guys,
Just received my GN and an usb otg cable and have one single question. Should it just work with an ordinary Dell usb keyboard out of the box? When I insert the camera it tells me that a keyboard is connected, but nothing happens wheb I press the buttons.... Could be the cable that's broken (even though it recognizes the keyboard on the note) or do I need a driver for the specific keyboard? The same goes for my usb mouse.
You should try a USB stick with fat32. If this don't work you don't have a working otg cable.
If you connect your mouse you should get "USB connector connected" and then "Mouse connected".
If its optical you should see the led for the optical sensor working.
And it should show a moving mouse cursor instantly.
My first OTG cable from eBay did not work. It does not had the connecting between two pins that is needed to make the note knows there is a org.
Thanks for your reply!
But I have now tried 3 different usb mice and usb keyboard and none of them works. BUT for all of them I get "keyboard connected" or "Mouse connected" in the status line at the top of screen. I therefore guess that the cable actually work - or could it be possible to have a connection but the cable won't support it? I also saw yesterday that not all usb devices are supported and my devices could be among here. It was a logitech, dell and hp usb keyboard....
Any ideas where to get a cheap working cable?
Weird. If it tells you it detects it, it have to work. I don't think it is the cable, because if it would not detect anything.
I tried with a simple logitech optical and a microsoft mouse. No problems for me.
Does the lights on the keyboard (num lock) and optical mouse are working?
You should try the cable on another device where you or someone you know is shure it should work...
Yes, it is very weird...but I hope that it was just something in the cable.... I bought a new (cheap) one on eby. Where did you get your cable?
Anyway, thanks for your help.

I have this: http://www.ebay.de/itm/Micro-USB-Ho...972693?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3368b43555
Okay, now it's getting a bit strange. I tried my usb mouse and keyboard with my OTG cable on a SGS2, and everything worked, but it still not work on my Note.
Are you using stock rom? I am, and even though it says mouse/keyboard connected, there is not coming any input. So could ot be that the current stock rom does not contain the right drivers??
My lenovo optic mouse and sandisk thumb drive work great with stock KKA (kernel 2.3.6).
What firmware are you on?
Thanks dor your answer.
I am also on stock 2.3.6.
The strange thing is also that I have an external usb flashdrive which I can connenct without problems. I can't figure out what's triggering this behaviour with keyboard and mouse.... I guess i am going to wait for a update to the rom which could solve it then...

[Q] A100 Broken screen trying to make mouse work!

Hey all,
I fell on top of my A100 a few weeks ago (Don't ask me how) and the side had a nice hit.
I noticed the screen is checked, but the image is clean and perfect.
The touch is not working anymore except for on 1 location, on the top part, a few square cm,
My problem is that I don't have any insurance left (took off the void) soooo,,,yeah...
I want to use it as a media player, attached to my LCD with HDMI, using a mouse to controll it.
Thing is, no mouse gets detected on this rom.
I tried to downgrade to Gingerbread from ICS, so I reset user data and cache, downloaded the ROM, changed to update.zip, placed it into the SD card, volume up + power booted it, and I get this droid opened up with a red ! on it...
Everything I try doesn't react
The mouse is a very simple HID logitech BT mouse with USB, connected to microUSB in the A100, I tried the G9x logitech too, but no luck.
Can anyone help me here? I can't use the screen at all, I am desperate
Thanks!

The USB port on the A100 does not have host mode, you can't use it for any USB devices, it is just a way to transfer data with a PC. If you can enable BT on theA100 you will get a mouse/keyboard working, I am just not sure how to do that with no touch response on the screen.

But I have seen multiple questions abut making host mouses work with USB on the A100, I'll try find the topics back
I could connect it by BT if I keep sinning the tablet around to make the few square cm work on the screen, but it wont be possible to accept
I tried using a screening app on windows, but sadly can only see immage from the tablet, no input remotely.

Is It Possible To Use USB Devices with the Kindle Fire?

I got a little micro usb to usb adapter for a buck and I've tried connected a few flash drives and a keyboard to it but nothing seems to happen.
Is there anyway to get usb devices to work with the kindle or no?

Yes, there are certain USB devices that work great with the Kindle Fire. First thing is, the device must be rooted and running a custom ROM. A recent JB ROM will do just nicely and CM7 on the Kindle DOES NOT SUPPORT OTG.
I successfully use a Logitech k120 keyboard without any problems. Usually as soon as I plug it in, the Kindle will recognize it and then it's useable. The keyboard DOES NOT require a powered USB hub. I also can use a USB optical mouse but a powered USB hub IS REQUIRED for that as the Kindle does not have enough power output from its micro-USB port.
I haven't really tried to mount a flash drive yet but some do require a powered hub and others do not.
Are you using an actual OTG adapter? I bought one off an online auction site for $2 and it was labeled for "Samsung" devices but that doesn't matter.
Thanks for your reply.
This is the adapter I bought:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005QX7KYU/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Did I get the wrong one?
Is there a notification to let you know it recognized a device? Anything in the settings I have to change?

That's the same one I bought. On the 4.2.2 ROM I run, as soon as I plug in the keyboard to the adapter some notification DOES come up but I can't remember what it says lol. If I try to plug in the USB optical mouse WITHOUT a powered hub, the mouse lights up indeed but that's all it does. It does not function other than lighting up.
I'm currently typing this on CM7 as my Kindle is set up to dual boot. Some keyboards are not compatible at all, I couldn't tell you which ones exactely but I remember seeing that stated somewhere down the line.
In reference to the Settings, there is nothing I had to change keyboard wise to get it to function. There are simple options for the mouse cursor like speed. The flash drive is a different story and many people have had to use apps like Stickmount and such to get them to work. Unfortunately flash drives are hit or miss and a couple different approaches have been used to mount them.
Hope that helps
