Just bought a usb otg cable but the results are a bit of a let down:
- The main purpose of using it to play nova using ps3 command worked flawlessly, but the experience with storage hasn't been the best.
- Some Kingston stick work at first try while another Kingston stick doesn't work at all and the 1T wd passport drive isn't recognized (even with ntfs software in the phone)
What do you think? Can it be from the cable? Is it possible that is a matter of power drainage?

well, for harddrives, they NEED to be powered externally... if that helps.

make sure that your sticks and drives are in FAT32 otherwise some procedure have to be made, google up how to do it.
Me too, was disappointed with the OTG and the ability to use Generic Game Controller as ordered to play Dead Trigger, luckily it was just a $2 cable...
Almost everything could be set but the 'button to move the player' which should be set to the left analogue control, this game can't do it.
The problem is that the hard drive is USB charged. Can I add extra juice to the usb otg by using a splitter and add a charger to it?

you could try. do you have a powered USB hub? the S3 can't supply enough power to spin up a harddrive.

You can use a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. I have a Microsoft 6000 bluetooth keyboard and a Microsoft 5000 bluetooth mouse. They both work fantastic on the A100. I bought a micro HDMI cable and now when I hook everything up to a big screen TV it is awesome.
Update: I'm not saying I use it this way. I'm just saying that you can and it works great. I actually bought the BT mouse and keyboard to use with my laptop.
Why on earth would you do that? If you absolutely need a keyboard for your tablet, they make a special tablet with a built in keyboard. They're called laptops.
And yeah, you can connect keyboard and mice through Bluetooth. Personally I prefer a nice clean design, over an unsightly USB port on the side, but to each their own I guess...

to connect to your computer to manage files.
A better question would be, can you use a USB OTG cable and a modded powered USB hub to connect devices? I know this is the case with my Motorola Atrix.

On the Atrix you have to mod a USB Hub to provide +5VDC somehow. I'm not sure of the specifics.

Double post I know, but here's the related Atrix thread. It would appear that the Atrix may have a USB Host port, this may not work on the Iconia A100 sadly...

You could buy a USB OTG controller. You plug it in to the 30 pin port on your tab and then just plug in whatever USB you want. If you buy a powered USB hub, you could plug in the hub to the tablet and then both devices into the hub. It would have to be a powered usb hub, though. As the note doesn't have the power to run it normally. Without the hub, you could get either a keyboard or a mouse in, depending what you'd like. Although, bluetooth mouses are dirt cheap on places like amazon. Same with bluetooth keyboards made for android. Just go and search about places like ebay and amazon for them. Or, the method I stated first - USB OTG and a powered USB hub. Although, it may be more costly depending on what you find.
I suggest you use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. It's much comfortable and convenient to use. I use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse for input and OTG for usb and others.

Hi,
Sometime some simple things make you crazy, I didnt get the answer for "How to use or enable the OTG Cable with I8160". ?
I have absolutely no experiance of making or installing kernel/roms. Please let me know that will I be able to use a simple USB Flashdisk with my I8160 or not.
If not then what could be the reason.
If yes then please guide me for this.
I8160 do not support USB OTG. This was answered hundreds of time on many threads here. Use search button next time.

@loof13
Did you managed to connect USB storage or mouse thru USB port in i8160? I did not found anyone who managed to do that. If yes, then it is awesome.
I have OTG cable and my i8160 is not responsing after connecting mouse, keyboard or pendrive. Even with "USB OTG Helper" app. Tried to power connected devices via USB HUB, but it did not helped.
The reason why it is not working ... its because i8160 do not give any power required to power connected devices. Ace 2 cannot work in host mode for USB. Tried this already in GB and JB (MB2 and MB4). Hafidzduddin confirmed that in kernel there is everything that is needed for USB OTG, but probably it is lack of something in hardware.
But all bluetooth mouses and keyboards work good.

It was mentioned that it supports OTG. Its just that we needed a kernel and drivers or stuff that would make it possible

So i will need to have kernel by hafidz.
I searched on forums and found that i have to short pin 4 and pin5 of mini usb connector. Did someone tried for i8160.

I remember someone saying that if the phone cannot power the USB device, an external power source should be used. I don't really know what that meant but I'm guessing a USB hub that has a separate power supply.

USB OTG works right out of the box on Xperia P and Xperia Sola (Nova Thor U8500). My friends in work have themad this function works without any mods with Nokia CA-157 USB-OTG cable. My freiend is even using USB-TV-tuner on his Xperia P. The same cable does not work with Ace 2. Already tried it on GB and leaked JB. I do not believe, that it is only software fault made by Samsung.

I have one of those OTG cables from when I had another device that could use it, never considered trying it on my H1 with a thumb drive as external storage.
Can anyone confirm that the HTC ONE (M7) will charge via the OTG a cable while using SD function. If someone has successfully done that which cable was used.
Would like to use my SD while keeping the phone charged.
So I'm wondering if I can hook up my 2TB USB powered external HD to read music from the Nexus 7. Since there's no expandable slot for SD or mini SD, I want to be able to plug in my HD and have it read all my music.

I had to use a powered USB hub to even get the device to recognize the drive. However I couldn't read anything. It may be because the drive is NTFS. Unfortunately all of my hard drives are formatted NTFS so I can't test for you.

I haven't tested, but with a USB OTG cable I can get it to read a USB stick so I would guess a HD would be the same type of thing

Use a powered USB hub and plug the drive into that. If the drive is NTFS use USB OTG Helper and then reboot. You should then be able to access the files on the drive.

As it's ntfs format, you'll need an app, like nexus media importer, to see the drive.
