Guys, I bought a USB OTG cable today. Nothing special, but my GNexus doesn't want to work with me. No matter what I connect - USB mouse, keyboard, flash drive [w/ StickMount by Chainfire] - Nexus doesn't recognize it. Tried wiping and reflashing my ROM (CM10, today's nightly) but it doesn't help. I use Air Kernel, but flashing franco.kernel or using the stock one doesn't work too. It looks like there's no power in Nexus' micro socket. However, when I connect a USB hub with external power source Nexus starts charging. Any ideas?
Best,

Have you tried turning off "fast charge"?

You say that when you connect the Nexus to a powered USB hub, it starts to charge. Does that mean you have the USB-OTG cable hooked to the Nexus, then some sort of gender changing adapter to hook it to the USB hub? What happens if you plug the flash drive into the USB hub while the Nexus is "charging"? Does the Nexus continue to charge and you get access to the flash drive???

I just have a USB hub with a socket for power adaptor - it's nothing special. However, when and I connect anything to my hub while Nexus is "charging" it still doesn't recognize this device. I'm outta ideas.

Darn. I was hoping you had somehow magically discovered that the phone can charge itself while still being in USB Host Mode. That'd be absolutely fantastic!
Try it on stock JB, CM10 isn't even alpha. Plus, make sure any custom kernels you plan on trying support it.

I've tried CM9 stable a few moments ago - doesn't work.
Your cable is probably defective. I just bought mine, works great, but in reading reviews many people reported defective cables.

Just bought the second one - still doesn't work. Why?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1092493.html
Check out that link to see a potential cable problem.
The roms [cm9] and kernel [stock] should work for you.
Is the cable you are buying specifically stating usb otg on the package? If not, buying 2 cables from the same store of the same type won't change anything.
This is what works for mr.

The second one is different - I'n sure it's not the cable problem. Something with my software? I doubt it. Hardware problem?

I seem to get quite a bit of opposition to this but as you'll see there are links included..one from Samsung and if you look in the manual that came with phone, it also talks about the OEM chargers. Try disabling NFC then try yo charge. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1841584

Turning NFC off doesn't help. USB host still does not work.

Do you know someone else with a Galaxy Nexus, to test the cables and ensure they do actually work?
I've tried them on HTC One X - they DO work :/

It was suggested 2x in the thread to go completely stock [rom + kernel].
You stated trying CM10 and CM 9, as well as stock kernel, but you never say if you tested stock/stock.
Mkay, I'll try the stock JB tomorrow.

Tried the stock Jelly Bean. Doesn't work :/

Accidentally thanked you.
What I'm trying to say is, AFAIK stock kernel doesn't support OTG. So try going stock then flashing a kernel.

Hi guys,
I'm interested to know if there's a cable that can do everything that the smart dock does as I don't like the fact I can't use the smart dock in landscape mode.
I want to connect the Note 2 to a screen via HDMI, keep it charged/charging and have a female USB port so I can connect a hub/PS3 controller/Memory stick etc.
Also, I've read online that I may need to root to get all this functionality working?
Sorry if this has been asked before, I'm new to the Android community, just finished using BlackBerry.
Thanks
That's the dream. For now an non existant one...

Dear friends
Is is possible to charge the device while connected to PC (USB)?
Yes, it is possible.

But very slow..!
Check system and BIOS settings. My motherboard actually supports tablet level charging, so long as I enable it on the BIOS. (Called fast charging, but it's 2.1 amp over usb)

I believe our notes would need a USB 3.0 port like the note 3 or am I wrong?

On mine, it has the charging bolt AND the X. I'm not sure what that means.
Sent from my SM-P600 using Tapatalk 4
Samsung, what that means?
Sent from my SM-P600 using Tapatalk
The Charging bolt combined with the red X means it is not a compatible charger. Basically, it means that it will charge the tablet, but VERY slowly. Almost every charger I have thrown at it has worked. The only thing to generate this on the 2014 edition is the USB 3.0 ports on my laptop (also USB 2.0 ports on my desktop as well). I will check and see if I have any settings in the BIOS that will enable some sort of rapid charging. Will report back with anything I find.
Thx waiting your reply

Sorry it took so long to reply, work as been kicking my ass.
I did check the BIOS on my laptop (Toshiba Qosmio X875 purchased in 3/2013) and there are no USB chare setting other than Sleep and Charge (let's the laptop charge USB devices while the laptop is in sleep mode). No rapid charging setting were in the BIOS. Maybe in newer laptops. basically it means that you will need to connect it to a charger or USB port that has a power output of 2,000mA or 2.0A.
Thanks

Hey.
I still have my old Desire laying around gathering dust and I was thinking if I could revive it as a miracast adaptor for my flat screen.
Basically the idea was to hook it up to my flat screen so I can mirror my nexus 4 display on my TV.
Naturally a couple of questions arise.
Does the desire even support being connected via HDMI?
Is there even a software (or specific ROM) to make this possible?
Could I connect other things such as wireless mouse/keyboard or external HDDs?
I never really got into USB otg and all that stuff so bear with me if this sounds completely ridiculous.
Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone, it just happened in a sudden that my samsung note 8.0 cannot be charged using any samsung chargers I had tried to plug in. I can only charge it using my powerbank which I connected via a usb cable. Can ayone anyone please help me with this? What's wrong with it? Thanks in advance.
Are you using the original Samsung USB cable? Some USB cables don't work well for charging, for several reasons.

Are you used custom rom or official rom?

Try a replacement cable. The cables are flimsy and will allow the fine wires to wear and break. Already replaced 2 on my Amazon Kindle, before getting my Note 8.0. Right now I have a small stock on replacement enhanced micro USB cables for backup.

I never root my note, official ROM I guess, the original one since I bought it.
My stock cable screwed up after just two weeks. The micro connector was way too loose and didn't make a connection without a lot of jiggling. I replaced the cable (only) with one from one of my cell phone chargers and it works fine. Samsung saved a few cents by putting cheap ass cables on their chargers.
