It should, but you need a Type-C OTG.
Hi everyone, i have some issues using the OTG on my A7 2017
I tried to plug in my thumbdrive with my type C OTG connector but it doesn't seem to work.
- My phone did not detect my thumbdrive.
- My thumbdrive's LED does not blink as it would on my other devices while plugged in.
I saw some videos on YouTube showing that OTG is supported on the A7 2017.
Using OTG on this phone should be as easy as plug and play.
I also tried to use the phone to charge my other phone but it doesn't seem to work as well.
I have no problem charging or connecting the phone to my computer.
So I believe that the phone is not supplying power from its type C port.
Here are some information on my A7 2017:-
Model number: A720F/DS
Status: Official (No modification has been made)
Region: Malaysia
Firmware version: A720FXXU1AQC5
Anyone using the same firmware having the same problem with me?
Anyone using a different firmware having the same problem with me?
Could it be a faulty hardware or software issue?
Any solution to this issue? Or should I just take it back to Samsung for warranty?
Any help and suggestion is very appreciated. Thanks in advance.
The type c converter which u get with the phone doesnt supports OTG. You'll have to buy a third party OTG cable. I was facing the same issue. When i approached samsung service centre for help they told me about this.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
For your information, I'm using a third-party OTG cable but it is not working. My phone did not come with a Samsung OTG connector
This is a picture of the OTG connector I'm using to connect my phone.
By the way, can you use OTG on your A7 2017?
Is your firmware version same as mine?
Your answer can help me identify if this is a hardware or software issue.
Thanks for your help.:good:
I have ordered a similar OTG cable. I havent tried it myself with third party cable. But this is information which samsung service centre guys have provided me.
Please see my phones detail in the attached screenshot

If anyone is looking for a cheap micro usb otg host adapter to use to attach usb devices (thanks to DooMLord here), I ordered these from DealExtreme a few weeks ago and they just came in. Worked like a charm to mount a usb stick on my Arc. $2.20 with free shipping, no taxes as they marked it as a gift:

can you try measure the VCC+ , i read some article about OTG , there's some phone that yes include the OTG feature but the phone hardware not support, because the usb must had 5V+ output from our phone to usb devices ,
so if you can measure the voltage with some digital multimeter would be great, so we will know is the kernel or harware fault that causing usb devices not working , damn if i had some OTG cable here
I guess there is no support...hardware limitation.........what to do

From the thread above, it seems like saying OTG is unlikely to work due to HARDWARE LIMITATION.

Nooooo.
So much expectation
It would be reaaly cool, i already have thinked in some cool projects for my car xD
i hope all the devs here work out thr magic to make this fantastic OTG works for our incredible SGW
But in some cases, in Custom ROM ICS Based, it can use USB OTG, such as CM9
I think that it's will be very good, because I will be able to connect my USB keyboard and write on that, able to connect some usb flash... Very useful thing, I think!

But you cant connect your usb devices without external power.So galaxy w can support usb devices but it needs power supply for usb devices.
This will help.i think so

we can only connect via DLNA. so the tv needs to be DLNA ready or if you have a TV box that is DLNA enabled.

Any luck yet
@sisqoboy
Have you had any luck with enabling the HDMI and using a Mhl cable with your P6?
I've always wondered whats the benefit in having an HDMI cabe on your smart if you can't control it from where you watch. It's realy easier if you just connect over wifi and if you can buy a U$300 phone you can sure buy a U$35 Chrome Cast.
MyDP, Slimport alternative?
I know that our Huawei ascend p6 doesn't suppport MHL.
But is it possible that it supports Slimport? Or that the Slimport supports us?
Take a look at these links about slimport, I don't know if it will work for us:
http://www.intomobile.com/2012/07/02/vesa-introduces-mydp-think-like-display-port-over-usb/
http://www.tested.com/tech/android/457205-mhl-vs-slimport/
http://www.amazon.com/SlimPort-HDTV-Cable-Connect-enabled/dp/B00AGFISF8
All I know is that the slimport works with the nexus 7, whereas the mhl connector won't work with nexus 7.
Don't know if that works the same for our device.
If our device doesn't have the hardware to output video via mhl or any other hardware we can't do it ...
Huawei implemented SiI8240 MHL in it's kernel, but it looks like we do not have this chip
If we have no chip to do this we cant enable MHL

I acknowledge that MHL standard will not work. MyDP is another multimedia output standard that is made by VESA.
I was just wondering if MyDP standard would work instead, though I highly doubt it would.
there is no way this would work, because huawei didn't implement this to the kernel ...
if we could have a output, it would be implemented
we can use DLNA, there is no other way

I plugged it on a usb3 port and tested speeds.
And while plugging it on a usb 2 port, Windows doesn't say that it can go faster on a usb 3 port.
So i guess it's usb 2 only.
