Does the USB OTG cable work with the Samsung Galaxy Nexus HSPA+ ?
Sent from my EVO 4G LTE using xda app-developers app
It does.
If you are looking to mount a USB stick, you will need to have root and an app called stickmount. Other wise, you can plug in a keyboard or mouse, which does not requires root but you will need to be on 4.0.3 and above.

Do i need to get a specific type/brand or can I just pull any cable off ebay? Like: are all OTG cables the same?

I just bought one USB OTG (micro-USB - USB-A-slot) from Amazon, no brand, certainly made in China, but it just works. Probably like you say, all OTG cables are the same. My advice if you want to just expand your memory, buy a very small USB "plug" stick like this one: http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Cruzer-Flash-Drive-SDCZ33-032G-B35/dp/B00812F7O8/ I only have the 8 GB model, slow data transfer, but small plug. Fits in every pocket.
I hope I could help you.

Thats a great deal. $15 for a 32GB tiny usb card.
I just wish I knew why amazon.com and .ca had such drastic price differences. Its $35 on amazon.ca and our dollar is basically the same. Not fair at all.
BTW this also worked for me with no root with 4GB and 8GB flash stick on stock 4.1.1 !!!

Doesn't work with my external HDD maybe needs more juice

Hi Pepper67, that price is a great deal. I understand your frustration regarding price differences. I'm British, but I live in Italy, I often use the amazon.co.uk site for research and checking user reviews because my Italian isn't brilliant. When I check the same goods on amazon.it they are normally higher. Sometimes by as much as 50%.
But the food and the weather here in Italy are way better than the UK.
You may pay more in Canada for some goods, but correct me if I'm wrong. Don't you guys have a public health care system? Unlike the US which is primarily private insurance based. Which is more important, health care, or saving a few bucks on Amazon? Just a thought.
Have fun. Anil

I recommend one of these types:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250817547531#ht_4462wt_905
But the less ideal ones, that may put physical stress on your usb port because they are bulky and heavy, are also available:

*Edit
Don't buy this one from amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/USB-Micro-Adapter-Converts-Devices/dp/B0027YYMU6
As it does not have OTG compatibility, i.e. your Xoom will not be host while using it. The others above all have OTG compatibility.
I've orderd the ebay one.
Hope this information was useful.
Cheers
I ordered this cable, I think it is compatible
what do you think?

Sorry to be the bringer of bad news.
If this is the same cable as the one you bought:
http://lunashops.com/goods.php?id=1434
Then I don't think it will fit in the Xoom.
That one has a Micro USB A male, and I think the Xoom can only take a Micro B.
For Products that are compatible with OTG, they are supposed to have an AB type port that allows the A cable to attach for OTG and the B for Slave. But it seems that OTG was an after thought for Motorola and thus the Xoom only has a B-type port, so you have to get an unconventional Micro-B to USB A type for it. Hence why they are so hard to find.
Here is what the different connectors look like, from wikipedia:
And this is the port for the Xoom:
The cables I linked to above all look like they have Micro USB B males.
I ordered this one http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290540648726
Is it compatible, too?
correct me if im wrong, but has anyone found a usb otg cable that will actually work with the xoom. I dont mean cables that were made up. I mean a cable from an actual website or store that works out the box? I see people recommend the ebay one, but does anyone actually have it? Im looking all over the internet for a confirmation on something that works.

This one looks like it should fit, but I'm not sure if it is made for OTG or not. Suppose there is no way to know until you get it.
Timrock, I have ordered the eBay one I posted earlier, I can let you know in a week or two. But it looked right, said it was for OTG and was really cheap, so I'm not to worried if it doesn't work. Will make my own if it doesn't.
But ya, otherwise we can wait to see which ones the other guys used.
Maybe check in the dev section where they released the kernel that allowed USB host, maybe someone there will confirm which ones worked.
Cheers

I found another thread where a guy had a Micro USB A cable like the one you ordered and he just filed his down to fit it in.
Here is his post on another thread
alias_neo said:
Well, the iGo is no good, because they probably don't have the data lines connected, as it's for charging.
The one in your next post on eBay won't fit if it's an CA-157 substitute, I got hte real Nokia CA-157 and the connector is squared off at the end, picture: HERE
however, I did get a file to the end of my CA-157 and filed it to fit, and YES it works (taking a picture now)..... attached.

Well I just ordered the $2.99 one from Meritline.com. They say it ships from the warehouse in China and should take 2-3 weeks. But hey shipping was free and they accept Paypal, so I didn't have to give them my credit card...
We'll see.

I ordered mine for $4 (free shiping) from china sometime last week, it has not arrived yet lol, but I'm far away anyhow, I couldn't wait and used a micro usb cable I had laying around and a femme USB port and got myself a "free" OTG, and somewhat aesthetically pleasant to the eye.
HI, i want to buy an Original Samsung USB cable, EXACTLY the same one that comes with the
Galaxy SII i9100
so that i can use it to root, put roms, etc.
the cable code that its in the label says
"U2 APCBU10BBE
KD1B202TS E"
anyone knows where i can buy one ONLINE (with worldwide shipping)
THX!
I guess you might have been able to do some searching in these two days and would have found some place to get the cable. In case you haven't, try Export Prive.

son, it's time to accept Google's friendship !
Am I missing something here? Why is it so important to get the original Samsung USB cable? It's just microUSB.
I didn't even bother taking the original Samsung cables out of the box since I have so many laying around. I use my cables from my previous HTC devices. I also use generic cables that I bought for spares. It all works just fine.
I rooted my SGS2 and with just a generic microUSB cable that happened to be nearby. And I charge my SGS2 with my HTC chargers.

I wonder if that is really an original cable, especially at that price. Ordered 3 anyway.
Yeah I've never bothered with specific cables before but Galaxy S2 requires a specific USB build cable. I've flashed my ass off with Galaxy S and different cables but SII would not work (properly) until I used the cable that came with it. Tried on different PC's, Mac (running Fusion), different USB cables etc... only Samsung's worked.
It might be that the length of the cable needs to be very short because SII is not powered the same way GS was powered.
thx everyone!! yup i heard in a lot of places that i must use original cables for specific
things..
google is my very best friend ... but not all does fake cables aaaaalll over google,
the easy way its not an original cable, and the hard way... well i dont undestand Z xD
and no, i dident find where to buy it yeet!, cant find it ANYWHERE!
if anyone knows where i can find an original cable (worlwide) ill be Very thankfully
Exportprive carries original samsung/anymode (samsungs partner) accessories.
FWIW I tried using an htc usb cable and it worked fine for "adb devices" and charging.

aaa, Exportives its not working now aggghhh... waitiiiing....
Received my original cable from Export Prive today. The cable is a U6, so the cable is slightly thicker and the microUSB connector is also slightly thicker in the plastic area. It still fits in the opening of my SGP Silke case and the cable works fine for charging and data connection.
Received the really cheap cables from ebay. Turns out that they are also original Samsung cables with the code:
S1 APCBS10BBE
FL1Z412ASB
The connectors are identical to my original U2 APCBU10BBE cable and the wiring feels slightly stiffer.
Extremely good value for $2 each! Charges fine, transfers data through USB mass storage fine as well. Will test flashing next time.
Errr any micro usb cable would do the job.....Samsung don't make 'special' ones...

I beg to differ. Firstly, the SGSII requires a micro usb B connector. And secondly, the quality of the wire used in the cable itself can limit the charging rate. Really thin cheap cables like the retractable ones limit the charging current. And cables with poor shielding/grounding cause the touchscreen to become unresponsive and you have a higher chance of a firmware upgrade going wrong due to corrupt data.

Nope, my HDMI cables cost me $3.95 each.
For some things cheap cables will work, for others, you need proper ones.
My proper Samsung microUSB cables cost me $2 each only anyway, so what does this have to do with cheap/expensive cables? My argument is that you need quality cables. And price does not equal quality. You can get good quality items for cheap price too. Except for microSD cards.
hey sleepy cat,
the cable's you've ordered from KTS-AME, do they work with KIES and Galaxy S or SII?
I've ordered a cheap one on Amazon and KIES doesnt recognise my phone.
so if the KTS-AME one actually does the job of getting my phone back with KIES, I am going to order it for my Galaxy S I9000.

hmmmm you do know that's probably about the cost of making a real 32gb microsd card, yes?
And of course you do know that some of the "counterfeit" luxury goods like LV bags, are actual products taken from the china factory and resold cheap.
Of course, there are lots of conmen in china, but hey one may always get lucky.
Just thought I'd let everyone know that OTG cables are available on ebay now for under $20. This might be a decent alternative to the bulkier samsung adapters.
Rob
Wow thats expensive the reason why they came out with these is we don't have to pay 20$ for the Samsung one

I can't believe they're charging $20 for those. They're worth $5 max. Just because samsung is shooting themselves in the foot by overcharging doesn't mean I'm going to be suckered into paying for one.

These aren't official Samsung cables, they're 3rd party ones. I'm expecting that the price on them will probably drop very quickly...
so what's the major differences between this and the samsung oem stubby one? aren't they both host dongles?
granted i have not been able to run peripherals on my tab... at least not my ps3 controller
What is the main use for these guys??
Connect pen drives, memory cards adapters, mouse, keyboard, gamepads.
Only thing not working is powered usb like hdd usb.

I bought the Samsung (OEM) version for under $15.00. I know some people were having issues with knock offs. I think for the price difference, I would rather get the authentic piece.

Just wondering, does the authentic one have a micro usb port on the side of the HDMI adapter? I think it would be a nice capability to charge while outputting videos.
I think my phone was still draining the battery, albeit much slower, when outputting an HD video with a generic adapter.
So I just bought this case/keyboard combo off amazon today and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with it? It seemed to get good reviews and I got $30 off for getting a amazon credit card.

The link for your keyboard is the same link as for the cable. Do you like the keyboard you got? I just bought a tab and want to find a good keyboard or keyboard/case combo for it.

I just bought a cheap male / female USB extender cable for less than $2. Yeah, it's a bit kludgey but you can get whatever length you want, more or less and they're sold everywhere online for ridiculously cheap prices.
I'm really disappointed there aren't more 3rd party versions of the Tab's USB cable though. God forbid they use something like PDMI.

I own one of the Juiced Systems extra long cables and can vouch that the cable charges at about the same speed as the stock cable. Make sure you buy from the Stoned Organics Seller. The other people that are selling cables, i have no idea what kind of crap they may be selling. Good luck.
