PS4 controller on S4 Mini Duos problem - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone!
I have got a Galaxy S4 Mini (I9192) and I try to connect my PS4 controller to it, in order to use PS4 modded remote control app, but the phone does not recognise it. I use CM13 latest build by @csendre , custom kernel by @DarkFrenzy and TWRP 3.0.2-1 by @ne0zone75 as well, but I cannot control the phone through my controller. Inside TWRP, in mount option, I cannot enable USB OTG, and using OTG Troubleshooter app, it has crosses on two last lines (not recognized by Linux and not recognised by Android). I have also connected USB flash drive without any luck... So, is there any way to use USB OTG or is it a hardware limitation of the phone?
Thank you a lot!

I did not use a controller with the S4 mini, however I used USB OTG functions with no issues, but you need to supply power so use a Y cable. Our hardware can not supply power through the USB port

Xperia ARC S USB OTG possibilities

ARC S (LT18i) comes with USB OTG support but when I plug an USB memory stick it recognizes it but says it's not supported.
From what I read it only works with LiveDock which is, by my opinion, not good at all, not even a real dock since you have to plug a cable in phone.
so is there a simple possibility to make USB work without LiveDock?
by simple I meen without flashing a new kernel
Thank you
See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224676
In short, you need:
Q5 Memory Manager: http://android.gval.biz/download/Q5_USB_Memory_Manager.apk
Module Loader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1228605
usb-storage module: http://doomlord.sylvester20007.com/xperia_2011/usb_otg/v01/usb-storage.ko
You can then connect and mount USB flash drives (formatted FAT32) with a suitable USB-OTG cable.
Hi
a cheap wireless keyboard/mouse bundle works perfect with a cheap otg cable.
usb hub too.
Managed to use usb key with XTCrefugee explanations.
But, could we charge the battery, at the same time using usb devices?
arc S
otg with unsupported USB
Getting the same error message, I have Astro file manage.
Unsure how to mount USB drive.
Get this app, it does the job nicey http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389653
PM me if you would like a copy...to test out
Thanks for responding, but I see the linked app requires rooting etc. There appears q5 but that's not on plaststore. Would upgrading to ICS be solution or a problem. What would you suggest?
When I had ICS installed still need to use some app to mount USB stick ... I have to say that Nokia N8 and other new Symbian devices have better support fot USB OTG ...

Tap Pro 10.1 (SM-T520) OTG Problem

Can anyone tell me why I can't get OTG to work on my tab pro? I plug in the OTG cable and it says usb connected but then it disappears and no matter what usb device I try it doesn't read it. I also tried the dual usb with the micro usb and it does the same thing. I have bought several otg cables, otg y cables, usb hubs, and dual usbs. None of them work. I also have all usbs formatted to fat32. Keyboards and mouses don't work either. Everything I have bought and tried works perfect with my Note 5 phone. I have also tried all the usb otg apps you can download for free in the play store. I even rooted my tab pro and it still doesn't work. Any ideas how I can get it to work on my tablet? I have stock firmware and stock kernel that has been rooted. Tried CM12 and didn't work on that either so I went back to stock firmware.

HTC 820 (Stock/6.0.1) won't recongnise OEM Wired Xbox360 controller

Hello guys, as you can see in the title I have a problem with my non-rooted HTC desire 820 running on stock rom (updated to 6.0.1 Marshmallow) , my phone can't seem to recognize my xbox 360 wired controller.
I know that the phone is OTG compatible(I can't attach photos because I'm a new user ), but USB OTG Checker shows that phone is compatible, and the controller as pluged in ,USB Host Diagnostics says(All yes except Rooted API and this -> ): "Kernel Claims support:YES / Device detected: No / Verdict OS,3rd party apps No/NO " . My wireless mouse and keyboard are working when connected(same for the usb stick). Xbox controller works on another Marshamallow android device with the same OTG cable. I updated kernel ,but with no solution , i can't seem to figure it out. If you guys can offer any support , I'll be thankful. I have to mention that I would like to exclude rooting because my warranty can be void.
Hi, you can't do anything without rooting because stock rom doesn't has x360 controller drivers installed and if you want to install it you must have root privileges

Your problem seems simular to what I had.
If you are sure the software settings are ok and that doesnt work, remove the backcover remove the battery connector, put it back again and see if that works. Does charging work?

Thats weird my s2 tablet has USb problems to. It stopped reading OTG usb connections and the PC. However it is always able to charge. I have noticed that when it does finally read on the PC it seems like the drives dont switch right and my battery wont charge. It got to the point I dont even try to plug it into a pc or USB otg just incase it quits charging I have SD card and twrp for installs so I use that instead. Most be a problem with the usb port and drivers.

I dont know the answer nor the solution.
What I noticed however is that I used my tablet as an monitor for an USB web cam.
The problem (charging but not being able to connect to PC) started AFTER I removed the webcam.
The app I use (USB Camera Pro) has an option "remove camera safely"
If I use that option everything works fine but if I remove the cam cable without pressing this option I cant connect to my PC anymore and have to unplug the battery.
I am having a similar issue and would be grateful for help. My Tab T815 has a clean install of the latest Android 10 Rom and Pico Gapps via TWRP 3.4. All seem to be working great apart from the USB OTG. Specifically, I am trying to connect my DJI Mini drone controller and it's not registering it plugged in. I also have Android 10 on a galaxy S5 and have no issues at all when I connect the DJI controller to the phone. I have run a diagnostic app that says OTG is compatible with the T815 so am now at a loss on what to try next. Could this be an issue with the Rom?
