Perfectly is a big word.
There are dozens of users in other threads complaining that OTG doesn't work.
I tryed my logitech mouse and my pen drive and it does not work and I'm using the genuine Samsung cable.
I need to try this tonite to decide who's mad
But I heard 4.0.3 has otg support including USB stick using stick mount

Read somewhere the pen drive must be a 'green' drive (as in power saving). Can't for the life of me find where I read it, though
Has to be the most useless add-on IMO

I have dozens of pen drive no one works.
I'm thinking that people who says that USB Host works well on 4.0.2 are using modded kernel.
Read somewhere that Stickmount (on the Market) was required to make usb storage work.
My USB OTG cable and MicroSD card reader have yet to come in so I have yet to confirm thus myself.

4.0.3 + StickMount + cheapy cable + any old USB stick or uSD card reader I can find == WIN on my GN.
Can't comment on 4.0.2.

Yes, USB OTG works on 4.0.2 (ICL53F), try a USB mouse or keyboard. But there is a problem with external (pen) drives as the phone won't mount them. So although USB OTG "works" you can't use it with pen drives.
Your phone needs to be rooted and if it is, get "StickMount" from chainfire from the market. That will solve that problem.
Do you have to have a new ROM or can you just run Stickmount on the stock but rooted phone?

Powered off the phone, connected the Logitech Unifying receiver, booted the phone.
Works both mouse and keyboard at the same time.
Now we need to wait for pen drive support.
you need stickmount and you need to have root, then pendrives should work
as an aside, i'm completely stock 4.0.2 on gsm, and my ps3 controller totally works in shadowgun now!

same here with my logitech pc pad.
Is it my cable?
I updated to 4.0.2 and I have a USB Host cable (http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/4-/24267949/-/Product.html). I tried plugging in a mouse to test, but nothing happens.
What am I suppose to see? a pointer?
Also tried 2 thumb drives with stickmount, but nothing detected.
Trying to work out if it's the cable or the things I'm testing are not compatible.
Thanks

Problem was my cable, I ordered a genuine one from Amazon and arrived today. Just tested and worked straight away, no reboots. Here's the link http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004ULZD7U
Hi guys. So the only thing I've done to my i747 is root it. I've tried both of the USB host apps in the market (USB Host Controller and StickMount) as well as the "SGS3-Easy-UMS" apk that's around, v1.2beta2 and v1.3beta. Can't attach any USB devices. All my flash drives are FAT32 and work well normally. I even ran the USB Host Diagnostics app and it confirmed that Android API, Rooted API, and Kernel "claim support" but no device is detected.
When I connect to sync, I can only do MTP transfers. This is why I looked into that EasyUMS apk because it apparently also allows to mount the phone on the PC as a USB Mass Storage device. During my search I see numerous people connecting flash drives, controllers, keyboards, and even a USB HDD to their sgs3's.
Because that apk requires busybox, and I have busybox, everything looked OK. However, I did once get an error from that APK about possible non-existant Kernel support. USB Host Diags disagree, as do many video tutorials.
Basically I'd like to know whether or not this is supposed to be working, and if not, then how do I go about making it work? I'd like to mount flash drives for easier use with Linux, and would like to mount the phone as UMS for the same reason. I would also like to use a USB Keyboard as well as a USB gamepad. Am I missing something? Are they all using the international?

got this one, a couple good reviews confirmed that it works with input devices: Amazon product# B005GI2VMG
i mean it's very possible that the seller just buys from random manufacturers without changing the listing. this one that i have is like the cheapest thing on the market so that may be the problem. i wouldn't mind trying a different one for <$5 w/ US shipping if that exists (recommendations?).
Same cable didn't work for me
I bought the same cable, but from a different seller. Amazon ID number B005N55WHI
And I have the same problem. Tried using it with several input devices and with several different roms and I couldn't make it work. Could it be a power issue? Does the USB device that it is being hooked up to have to be powered? I tried it with mice, keyboards, and flash drives, but all of those devices take their power from the bus, not an external source.
glad you posted. hmm. since we both have the same thing and they're both not working, i'm suspecting it's indeed the cable.
i read on a review of a different cable on Amazon where the guy cut open the connector and found no wire connected to one of the pins. i've had thinner-cable wires before that charged/transferred slower than others or didn't work at all on some higher-end devices, could really just be a cheap-out on the manufacturer's end.
i think i'd like to get a different cable. if anyone can recommend an inexpensive one that's confirmed working i'd appreciate it. so i don't have to shoot in the dark.
I got the one with Amazon ID B00871Q5PI and it worked for me. I tried a Dell USB keyboard, a USB mouse, and a USB DAC and they all worked. All take power from the bus.

would it make a difference if it says its for the galaxy s2 and not the s3? im guessing thats why i cant get it to work.

No, would not make a difference. USB OTG is a standard and for now all devices that have USB OTG work with all USB OTG cables. I've used a cheapass one from Ebay with my S2/Note/S3 for more than a year now.
solved for me
so i got the one drothenberger got (actually that particular link was out of stock for the seller so i got the other suggested one that looks exactly the same, title OTG for SGS3 - item# B00871Q5PI) and i'm in business!!!
someone replied to my negative review of the other one i got in the comments and they said theirs worked. i think they just have different products under the same label or lots of defective ones. i'd recommend to just get the ones that specifically say OTG for SGS3 - the extra dollar or whatever is worth it to save the trouble.
thanks again to everyone for the troubleshooting, hope this topic helps others resolve their issues.
Hi all, ive gave up on the slim chance that there might be a BT chip inside the kindle fire 2. With the release of custom ROMs on our device, is it now possible to get bluetooth working via otg cable? I have a micro BT usb an was wanting to use it for ps3 compatibility so i can play ps1 roms etc wirelessly. I know you can connect a 360 controller cablde to the kindle but imn looking for wireless connectivity.

I wasn't going to answer because I'm not a dev....but was curious so looked up some stuff.
From what I can see....I can't find anyone doing that, ever. Yet I see a LOT of people saying "No, not possible unless you get a custom ROM" yet....I haven't found anyone that has actually done this!
Not sure why, although since we have devs I will be curious to see their response. No idea why I can't find a SINGLE post of anyone doing it, yet I also haven't seen anyone that has flat out said no, only that you will need a custom ROM.
If we do get it working, it would probably be one of the first times someone has done bluetooth via OTG. If you can find anyone that has done it before though, that may help out.

I seen on the kf1 forum that they have USB host to control a flash drive, Is it different to adding a BT adapter? Obviously you would need drivers for the specific BT adapter you were using

They use powered hubs... our device wouldn't power the dongle, and you might fry it if you tried to hard wire it into the battery

well my plan was to buy a usb dongle, cheap ofcourse, put an external power supply, i.e 5v supply if i cant get one. for talking sakes lets say i use a battery ( i know voltage etc are not same as 5v supplied by normal usb ports) hook red + on battery, black to negative on the battery and add a switch so i can switch it on and off, so the only thing i would then need to take would be the data coming from the kindle itself. From what i can gather cm10 has bluetooth dongle support, if so then it would just be a case of an app looking at usb instead of internal bluetooth. Please correct me if i am wrong ( which i am pretty sure i am ). This is one feature which has let the kf2 down for me. All the others i can live with, even if i only had stock rom and it had bluettoth connectivity, it would be better for me. I hate having ideas but not being able to do anything about it so any advice, tips or reasons as to why it will not work is all good
While im on, does anyone have a kf2 with custom rom, a powered usb hub, an otg cable, a bluetooth dongle and a spare ten mins to check if the dongle is recognised by the kf?

Sorry to revive this, but I have a kindle fire 2, rooted with the official cyanogenmod jellybean. I'm later going to order a bluetooth dongle and I already have a powered hub. Being a college student I have a lot of spare time to this sorta thing. I'll check back later if there are replies or if i have done it and have results.
EDIT:
Although some people on this thread have already said that bluetooth doesn't work without a powered hub, you can find videos demonstrating it without a powered hub. I'll also test this later.
Cm10 + otg + bt dongle = works!
I recently about an Onda V973 specifically so that I can load CM onto it but was disappointed that BT wasn't built-in. So I got an OTG cable and a cheap dongle. At first the connection didn't work but after a reboot CM was able to load the drivers for the dongle. Works great! :good:
I am 99% sure Kindle Fire does not have a bluetooth chip. I tried it myself on CM10.2, 10.1, and it doesn't activate. The modem does not have this feature.
It would be interesting to try and mod the tablet that way, though.
Hello,
I've searched the forums and made no conclusion whether this would work or not so I'm starting a new thread. So I'll be living in halls for some time and in the halls there is no wi-fi only ethernet cable and bringing a router is not allowed
So my question is will a micro usb to lan adapter work on Note 2? Has anyone tried it? And are there any other solutions to this problem?
Big thanks for any response. :highfive:
Unfortunately I wasn't able to get it work. I've tried several kernels, with stock rom, but no luck.

Not working yet, but I am working on it now. All wiring is correct internally but the otg phy driver defaults to dock mode. Omce I patch it you will lose dock mode but gain otg.

No problem, I should have it fully going in the next week or so as time permits me. USB OTG is pretty much a requirement for my final goals and i doubt anyone will miss the dock feature. So far my kernel recognizes devices via lsusb and prints vendor info but it might need changes in the rom as well which im gonna tackle now.

I know for a fact that officially the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 does not support USB OTG via the official Samsung Firmware for the device. But I think you guys could get it to work if you use a custom ROM for the device.
This tablet really disappointed me.

I do not have a mainboard for the T110 to work on the kernel or to trace out the layout as I did on the T217. Officially the T217 has no a stripped down set of drivers and its alot of coding to trace the board layout to each GPIO, then get the GPIO numbers, write a shim kernel module to activate host(im hoping to do away with this when I am done), then link it into the ROM itself.....its not an easy task as you can tell.
PS: for the record I will not touch PXA devices lol, hate me or not I just do not like the PXA.
