Does Anyone Use The Seek Thermal Camera on FLO? - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Does anyone have a working configuration for the "Seek Thermal" USB IR camera attachment for the Nexus 7 (2013) WIFI "FLO"?
I recently purchased one and it won't connect in the app.
Our device isn't listed as approved (or not). In my correspondence with the company, they say they have gotten reports from users that it works on Nexus 7 (2013), but I can't figure out the magic combination of kernel/rom etc (I have tried flashing a few different ones).
The company (tech support) suggested that the Nexus 7 (2013) might not have powered USB OTG and may need an external power source, but I doubt that since I can drive a wired optical mouse.
I understand that some "OTG" cables are finicky so I have been testing it plugged directly in (it will face backwards due to the port but I'll know if it runs).
FYI: I have tried booting with it plugged in, no luck. Also, stickmount won't detect it at all.
I'm hoping that someone out there can fill me in on their success (fingers crossed).
Note: My nexus 7 (2013) is my only android device (my phone is Windows 8... please don't hold that against me), so until I know what has worked for others, I still can't rule out a defective camera unit.

You do need a powered otg cable ... Trust me on this

So the Nexus 7 2013 doesn't provide enough juice?
Gonna be a tricky connection because the Seek Thermal has a micro-usb connector, so to hook it up with a powered OTG cable it's gonna need to be one with a micro input - most have regular USB input.
I'm in the same boat. I know my Seek isn't defective because it works on my wife's Galaxy S4.

Maybe that's my exact problem with my HUAWEI E3372 mobile modem ? not enough juice to be detected by the android system? Cause the blue LED on the modem is blinking while connected to the Nexus.

I also bought seek thermal yesterday. I have nexus 5 which has android6(original) and nexus 7 2013 which has nouga flo version.
I don;t have reverse cable so just plugin to them to just confirm it work.
Nexus 5 detect seek thermal well but nexus 7 nougat don;t detect it.

need an OTG cable. Post confirmed working cables

I have an OTG cable that I have been using for the past few years on my tablet, but it appears it doesn't work with this generation of the Nexus 7.
Using USB device info app, it looks like it is finding my jump drive on the Linux side of things, but Android appears blank, so this isn't a hardware issue with the tablet.
Have you used Nexus Media Importer and have it working? Please post a link to your OTG cable.
I'm using this one on my nexus with no issues whatsoever.

I have this one too and it works on my 2012 Nexus 7. I'll plug it in my new 2013 Nexus 7 get home. I see no reason why it won't work though.
Wow only $1.50 shipped. I'm not even sure I have a need for an OTG cable, but for $1.50 I just ordered one.

Yep, I bought the one in that very link, I took it from my order history. I think I bought three of them, back when I bought my galaxy s3. Works great. I actually like that the micro usb makes a 90ยบ turn, because you can flip the n7 over and have it naturally hang downwards, rather than straight out to the side.
What format thumb drive would it work with? I know NTFS is no good, maybe exfat?

Hi:
I use the OTG Cable from Amazon, shipping from Hong Kong on my Nexus 7 2012 and 2013--I just can't say Nexus Flo, it makes my teeth hurt. Both my units are stock and I use Nexus Media importer on each unit. I have a 64gb microsd in a microusb adapter formatted with NTFS which I use for streaming and copying files to my tablet on the run. Nexus Media Importer only supports write on Fat32 and I have small 32gb flash drives for that. You don't have to be rooted to use OTG.
As others have pointed out, Nexus Media Importer is working flawlessly on the Nexus 7 2013.

Is there any USB OTG cable with charging that works for the Nexus 7? Trying to have the Neuxs 7 set up in my car so it can be charged and access a portable hard drive at the same time.

Not any that I'm aware of that also charge the device. I did skim this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1822653 as it looked somewhat promising. I wonder if you could do OTG while wireless charging? That'd be the way to go if so.
As I wrote this post I decided to test it. Using my xbox360 controller, wireless charging stops as soon as I plug in my OTG cable. I repeat, wireless charging does NOT work while you are using an OTG cable. At least, the one I linked early on in the thread.
Kinda sucks, but I'm sure there's a good reason for it.

Is there an accessory that can charge, connect to an external USB Hard drive, and output to HDMI at the same time?
i posted in other forum to hope for a Dock that:
1. Wireless Charge
2. Expand a TV HDMI out
3. USB port for Hard drive access
I really want the Nexus & FHD to be a Home entertainment player...maybe the dock should include a remote/ Or Kinect like gesture control app built in with the dock
Hope this comes true...it will be the best Combo for a home unit!

I use this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009YPYORM/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
purchased from seller: Atomic Market for around $10
It has the additional bonus of being able to accept power via its additional USB cable.
I find the Nexus 7 LTE 2013 does not need the additional power for typical USB thumb drives, but it might be needed for other devices like an external disk drive.
I find my Chromecast must have this cable powered in order to use a USB thumb drive to root and replace the android operating system.
You can save a few bucks for a cable that does not provide power if you want.
I also own this one:

(purchased from amazon seller: Digital Center(Ships From Hong Kong)
which only costs $1.49 with free shipping. It was $0.83 when I purchased it last year.
It works on the Nexus 7 LTE 2013 with USB thumb drives, but does NOT provide additional power for devices which may need it.
Can you confirm thath this otg power cable charges the nexus 7 2013 while still reading peripheral data from usb port?

I can only confirm that both OTG cables I own work on the Nexus 7 2013.
i am using one that came with my minix x5 and it works on all my android devices, but the connection is loose. i would be surprised if there was one that did not work as the cable itself is such a simple thing.
i would also like to know of a working powered option. i thought the powered cables only supply power to the accessory, not to charge the device itself.

Since you have the USB OTG cable with the additional cable for charging, would you mind testing it by:
1). Connecting a working USB device (mouse, HDD, etc.)
2). Connecting the USB power to the 2nd cable in the OTG cable
I am trying to use a BT keyboard and non-BT wireless mouse and charge the N7, but unfortunately, it drains the battery down heavily.
PS: I CANNOT use both BT keyboard and mouse AND have Wifi ON, as it interferes with the BT radio, making the keyboard and mouse lag heavily. I have created a thread on this also.

I have connected a USB thumb drive. The thumb drive works with or without power attached, but it will not charge. I suppose it is built to provide the power to the attached USB device and not to the phone / tablet.

Perhaps a small powered USB hub will reduce the power drain on the N7?

My y-connector from my n4 doesn't charge while using USB otg. The ability to do so is not written in the software. I'll try to locate the source and report. OTOH, the USB otg connectors from my GNex and N4 all work on my N5 and both old and new N7's.
EDIT: I just ran across this. I'm sure it's for the original N7. I wasn't even aware of it so obviously have not tested it. I did use ziddey's kernel on the N4. Still searching.
2nd EDIT: Available for N7 FLO/DEB 4.4.2. I'm running franco but will revert to stock then try this (as soon as I make a nandroid of my device).
3rd EDIT: That kernel does work to charge while on usb otg. It is a setting you choose to activate during the set-up. I just chose stock everything until I got to the power choices. I will say that although the install was successful, I came as close as I've ever come to thinking my device was bricked. After the install, the screen went black and I couldn't do anything. After about a 30 sec power button mash, everything booted back up. This video shows installation on the N5. Some choices are different on the N7 FHD. As I said above, I was NOT returned to TWRP after installation.
There is a note about altering a sys file for OTG peripherals. I only attached a flash drive and the usb_charge_mode was set to Y (I assume for yes). You may have to perform the edit if using a peripheral device.

Note 10.1 2014 OTG & Charging

I've got a Note 10.1 2014 mounted in the dash of my truck to replace the radio and am on a mission to figure out how to get USB OTG to work with charging. I've read an ocean of threads regarding hacking MHL adapters, but there is not any information specific to the Note 10.1 2014.
Right now I've got a relay system in the dash that switches between a OTG cable and a charge cable depending if the ignition is on or off. This works for my basic purposes, but if I use GPS navigation and wifi tethering, I run the battery pretty low after only 3-4 hours. When I turn off the truck it begins charging, but that wont work for a road trip.
I've tried the Samsung smart dock (without reading that it wouldn't work), and of course, it doesn't work, although it would be the perfect solution.
My idea is that there would be some way to use the 11 pin MHL connector on the device to get what I'm after. Looking at the pinout, it seems that there are some USB host pins within the 6 additional MHL pins, but I do not know of anyone who has tapped into them and had OTG working.
Is anyone else trying to get this to work on a Note 10.1 2014? I'm happy to hack up and solder anything and everything imaginable to give it a try, but I'd like to collaborate about it and see if we as a group can get this working.
Im about ready to rip apart my smartdock and see exactly why it wont work with this tablet.... have no idea why it qont recognise the tablet...

Meanwhile, is there a possibility for that knock-out?
High current charging has an impact on the signal lines. So USB 2.0 current is limited to 500mA, or probably the 900mA from USB3, if the port can provide it. On a standard USB2 port the Note remains self-powered. And even with 900mA it will slowly discharge while in use, despite the battery charging at max current. On a 2A charger, the operating power bypasses the battery, which is much more healthy for it.
Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately I asked imprecise. What I liked to ask is, if there is meanwhile a possibility to charge the tablet while using the usb connection e.g. with an external hard disk?
Almost certainly not. Samsung could have provided a charger jack, or even support wireless charging. But it was not meant to be.
I just tried one of the charge and 2 female usb adapters off ebay and it didnt charge. It detected the usb connectors connection, but wouldnt charge.
$5 lost...
Did you used the wall plug? Because the tab needs 2A for charging...

Why not take away the USB requirement? I assume you want this to allow external storage, in this case get some sort of NAS that can be 12V powered and install that in your truck then allow the Note to connect to this via Wifi, then the USB port can be dedicated entirely for charging only.
Plus you have the benefit that when at home you can transfer file to your NAS without needing to leave you PC.

Are you using the LTE/3G for internet access? if not then setting up a wireless network in your truck might work. I use a HooToo TM001 (also have the TM002) to do this set up. The hub has a 6000mah battery that when the USB drive is not installed can charge a device.
i know it's been a while since OP posted, but i've been using a wireless HD so i can use external storage and maintain a charge. if you get the seagate wireless plus, you'll be able to charge and stream at the same time as long as you use a usb3.0 cable to charge from (it's included). using a 2.0 cable will turn off wifi.
it's quite a bit more than OTG, but it does allow you to have tons of storage available while still having a charging option.
I use a nexus 7 in the dash of my car (sure do wish I had space for the note 10.1 in there though!) With the nexus 7 I bought a y-cable that allows me to charge AND use otg functions. However, a specific kernel was needed im pretty sure. I set it all up a while back so I cant remember specifically sorry. Its all nexus 7 forums here though.

OnePlus 7 USB-C Dock Advice

I just received the phone and tried to use it with this dock with no results (the power led lights on and android P notifications shows the connection with a USB device, however it is not properly recognized).
I tried with an USB key, a mSD and with a HDMI cable attached. Any advice on alternative solutions? (both HW and SW).

Thanks for the tip Sir. I rewrote the sentences in a clearer way to make them easily understandable.
I was using a third party DASH cable originally for my OP3, with my OP7P and noticed it does the same thing as your dock. Side note the OP7P could not be recognized in fastboot with said third party DASH cable.
But the OEM cable works without fail ever time could be pin/or chip? configuration but I don't know enough about Warp/DASH/VOOC to say.

I made some further tests and these are the results:
- With the dock powered with a PD cable (so charging the phone as well) the video signal works as expected but no other devices are recognized (I tried a USB key, a keyboard and the usual microSD but none are visible)
- Using a simple USB-C to HDMI cable the video out works like a charm
I think the USB issue might be related to the drivers needed to identify the device (a similar situation happened to me on the Nexus 7 several years ago and I fixed it changing the kernel). For now I think I will have to find a different dock. The best one for my needs should have 2 USB, mSD slot, HDMI and Ethernet. Any tips?

One further update:
I used the same dock on the Mi A1 with Android P and it is properly recognized with both the mSD and the USB key attached. Obviously there is no HDMI out since the port is only a USB 2.0 one rather than a 3.1 like the OP7P.
At this point I think it might be related to drivers only, because the notification for an attached USB is there but it is not simply recognized (to be honest if i use the PD-USB while having the mSD inserted, the phone is charged but no popup for attached USB device is shown in that case).

Yeah I'm having the same issue, tried an HP dock and a Dell dock. Neither one supported USB. I don't understand why this is, never had this issue on older model Android phones. Must be the drivers.
FYI - The HP one displayed the picture on the monitor via HDMI, but wouldn't charge the phone. Dell one would charge, but wouldn't support the monitor. I have another model Dell dock that I'm going to try next week that I think will work better.
Another quick update.
All the test were performed with OTG on and with USB debug enabled and disabled to see if there are any differences in results(no differences for now)
Atzbee Dock
- HDMI Out working even without an external power source
- No USB drive/key detected
- Phone charging works
EC Technology Dock
- HDMI Out working even without an external power source
- No USB drive/key detected
- Phone charging works
So how can we escalate this to OnePlus? We should not be having these problems.
I made some further tests with several devices.
original OP OTG
Works with every device so far (not tested with Ethernet)
Vava 8 in 1 old & Vava 8 in 1 new
HDMI, USB flash, sd card and transflash work at the same time (even without an external power source).
I am finding problems in the connection of a keyboard or mouse that are never recognized (except for the original OTG cable)
Ethernet is never recognized.
To make sure before I buy one, the vava 8 in 1 hub works with usb flash drive while charging the phone?

Yes (on USB 3.0), however it is confirmed that is a limitation of the kernel, since flashing a different one seems to make everything work smoothly as reported here.

So it only works on a modified device? (unlocked bootloader, flash new kernel) stock does not work?

it works on USB .3.0 on hubs with stock kernel, but no keyboards or mouse (charging always worked for me). Modifying is needed to achieve the full functionality of the hub
You have to flash a custom kernel to get the USB type C keyboard and mouse working! Stock kernel does not work! Flash it and whalla! read my thread. https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/help/otg-usb-hub-recognizing-mouse-keyboard-t3936188
I just want to report that this issue has been resolved with Android 10. The HP dock I was using now supports the keyboard and mouse. Display and charging also still works.
Well that's a huge bummer, I regret buying the tmo variant. I reported this and chatted with one of the people there about pd+otg issues. I am able to get usb hubs to work if plugged into a c-typeA(f) adapter. That of course means no PD or HDMI, so it's awesome that Android 10 includes that fix!

Hello quentin0, could you please share with us the model of the hp dock you are using ? Thanks a lot !
Everything works, SD card, Ethernet, HDMI (Desktop mode or Mirror which one you want), Keyboard, Mouse, Flash drive. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07XRJDMLD?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
