[Q] Atrix as USB host - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have OTG USB host cable for Motorola Xomm. Is there any way this coulb be used with Atrix??

Don't take my answer as 100 percent. I want to say no dice on the usb host deal, but the hd dock and lapdock have usb ports for key/mouse. I think somebody mounted an external hdd but had problems. Hopefully somebody else can shed more light on this.
I voided my warranty.

It'll need a 5vdc power supply

Yeah there is a post on this already but the answer is that you just need a powered USB hub and that cable and you can use it as a host.

I know nothing about Samsung, but my Atrix works fine as USB host. All you need is powered USB hub and cheap OTG adapter. I bought one from Dealextreme (sorry, can't post links). It works great with any USB keyboard or mouse or FAT formated memory drive.

if its a flash drive, you don't need external power

Are you rooted? If so, what Rom and what kernel?
I had the same issue with the bonsai .1.5 with their 2.0 kernel. Once I flashed over Pershoot's latest, I was good again and usb key could be read/seen.

Powered hub is only needed for high-current bus-powered devices, right now the known list is:
1) 2.5" portable hard drives (of the spinning type)
2) PS3 controllers that are not fully charged
Things that do not need a powered hub:
1) Flash drives and flash card readers (Must be FAT32)
2) Fully charged PS3 controllers
3) 3.5" externally-powered hard drives (however most of these are NTFS, which presents its own challenge).
Apparently the kernel in Bonsai ROMs is severely broken with regards to USB host support.
Powered usb hub
HI has anyone got a UK link for a Powered usb hub as trying to connect a 2.5 device to my tab 10.1
Thanks

Trying to make webtop work on lapdock using extension cables

I bought these on ebay. The HDMI is short but worked but when I connect both cables to lapdock, the USB is not being recognized so the keyboard/mouse is not working. I want this just to act as an extension so I can use full lapdock abilities with cables. Any idea what's going on (cable charges on plug but does not charge on lapdock)? Maybe someone has better usb cables.
fixed the link:

Is the USB cable an OTG? If not then that is most likely your problem.

gr8... actually i have one but my OTG is not working so hoping cable is faulty...
BTW I am on EU leak currently..
I'm wondering too. Don't have a cable yet, but no sense in buying one if it doesn't work.
It won't work only with OTG cable.
You need a HUB (generic USB 2.0 hub) plus a cable between the OTG and HUB that powers both the HUB and the Phone externally.

Maybe this thread helps you more as it is the original one specific to OTG cabling on GB which should work also on ICS (It would be nice if anyone could confirm this).

On the 1st post find direct link to the findings.
Have a look around or ask something if you need.
I received my OTG cable today. As has been stated previously, it works but only when run through a powered hub.

Yes, it seems that this is the only way to do it.
I´m waiting for my OTG cable too. Mouse and keyboard in my phone !!

hook razr directly to hard drive.....find me a cable

Is it possible to find Micro-USB A to USB 2.0 B-Type....For people wondering what that is...imagine pluging usb cable into printer (that's type B same as ext drive) and the micro usb A is the other end to go into phone...Would it even work?
Well, on my phone I had to use a power supply, an USB Y cable, and an OTG cable, do some cable modification and with that I`m now able to connect my mouse and keyboard.
I tried connecting an USB flash drive but it sadly didn`t work.
EDIT: I got my flash drive to work using the APP USB Host Controller.
So... if you use an external power supply and an OTG cable i think it would be possible.

Ethernet adapter?

Is anyone using one? Just wondering how it works.
Thanks
Yes I have one. I purchased from Amazon along with a micro usb to usb otg w/ micro usb input to charge at same time. It allows you to plug your tablet directly into the router and get the higher Internet speeds.

Anyone tried this one ??
