Anyone having any issues with OTG on the Bell Canada Galaxy S II (i9100m) ??
When I plug in the cable, I've now tried two of them, nothing happens.
I know 2.3.4 has full support, but the 2.3.3 on the GS2 is supposed to be able to do it.
Since a copy of our factory ROM still hasn't come out, I've been holding off going too crazy on it, so I'm stock except for being rooted and unlocked
Using CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG2-v4.1-CWM4
Anyone?
I picked up the nokia cable off ebay for 4$ the cable is made for nokia and had a different usb micro end with a quick google and after shaving the sides down to fit it works perfect and its as fast as reading off internal using a 8gb sancruz and a crappy 1gb no name. although I couldnt get it to read if I already had the cable in and then the usb stick I had to have the stick plugged into the cable then into the phone.
I've tried two different cables from eBay, not a Nokia one however, but I'm skeptical that these aren't OTG cables, i'm pretty sure they are
hopefully someone else has tried it
fyi, I ended up picking up the official Samsung OTG cable from bell, and it works fine.

I have an s2 with O2 in the UK. Iam trying to get usb on the go working but with no sucsess. THe cable I have one from Mobilefun Product Reference: 29842 and am using the latest o2 firmware 2.3.3. I plug it in but nothing no usb host cable connected and if I plug a memory stick in still nothing. Does anyone now what the problem could be??
no one got any ideas
Are you using a proper USB OTG cable; i.e. are pins 4 & 5 on the micro USB connected to each other? It's possible Mobilefun may have shipped you the wrong cable, or a defective one; a couple seconds with a multimeter should tell you if the cable's OK.
Also, the SGS2 doesn't provide much in the way of current on the USB port. If your memory stick is particularly thirsty for electrons, it may not work. Try some other memory sticks and/or USB card readers.
I've also found that it seems to work a bit better if you plug the memory stick into the cable before you plug the cable into the SGS2.
BUMP!
I have the same problem exactly. Does anyone have an answer to this?
I have the SGS2 from O2 with Android 2.3.3. I bought a cable from eBay but I cannot get it to recognise anything :-( I have tried 2 usb memory sticks, a card reader with and SD card inserted, a usb hub, a mains powered usb hard drive and digital camera; nothing is recognised by the phone.
It's so annoying because this was one of the features that drew me to the S2 over the Sensation XE.
Please can anyone provide some insite into this? I have done some searching on Google and mainly can find that people are having problems getting this to work with 2.3.5 butI cannot find any other info.
I have just rooted my phone so I can flash a new ROM if there is one that has working USB OTG.
Has the OP rooted his S2? Maybe rooting could be the cause of the problem?
I found this today when searching the forums >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1246116&highlight=usb+otg
Could the USB OTG issue be down to the kernel used to root the device?
I've just ordered a new cable from eBay in the hope that it is simply a cable issue.
Both my wife's and my stock USB cables have basically disintegrated over the last year and neither work so I had to purchase a new cable from Target a few months back. The Gingerbread OTA has borked my GPS and other things, and I want to try re-flashing it through Heimdall. How big of a problem is it that I don't have the stock cable?
Thanks in advance.
Normally the stock usb cable works best but you may get lucky and odin will work with the target cable...just try it and see. Also i would odin the stock eh03 rom and stay away from ota. Alot of folks are reporting the same issue with ota to gingerbread.
Got it! Will try the Target cable, but I do have a stock cable on order, just in case.
Thanks!
I have been using a cable that I bought at Wally World... It is very hit and miss with the connection. Sometimes I can get Odin to work other times I can't. I usualy wiggle the cable some until I get Odin to recognize it! - Good luck

I use the cable that came with my barnes & noble nook. It works just fine.
~This is going to take crackerjack timing, Wang~
My stock cable got damaged and I bought a replacement from BestBuy. It worked for charging and my pc would recognize it as an external storage device, but Odin would not, no matter what I did. Went to Verizon and ordered a replacement stock cable from Samsung and all is well with the world!
There is something about non-OEM cables that this phone doesn't like. When I bought the phone, I got some E-bay chargers and cables (for truck, car, motorcycle, desk at work, etc). They worked but were not necessarily OEM for this phone. Then I started having trouble with the mini-usb port (Odin issues first, then progressing to no usb connection at all). Eventually had to have the port replaced. I have used nothing but OEM cables and chargers since then without issue. Shouldn't be that way but it was. YMMV.
My phone was used so I didn't get a cable but I found a moto cable at work I use for most things. And seems fine However I used my wife's stratosphere cable to flash back to stock with samsungpst before loading the ota.

So I had a USB OTG cable from Motorola, it works on my Xoom, but when I try to use it on my (Sprint) SGSIII, nothing happens. I don't get any "USB Connected" messages, I don't get any prompts to mount anything, and My Files doesn't show any new devices. I've tried the cable with two different flash drives, a camera, a camcorder, and a hard drive. All of them work on the Xoom, but none work on the SGSIII. I am rooted and have a custom recovery, but everything else is stock. I downloaded USB Host Diagnostics, and it says that the phone claims it should work (Kernel, Android API, Rooted API all claim support, but no device detected). I don't know if its that the Motorola cable is unique to the Xoom, or if it is just slightly different on the Xoom such that it doesn't work with Samsung's new connector. I don't have any other OTG hosts to test the cable with. Is there any way, without flashing a new kernel (just got my phone up and running, OTG would be nice but not worth the trouble of reinstalling everything, esp if it isn't going to work), to get the OTG working?
Thanks!
You must use a samsung otg cable duh

That's not true. I have a cable that works with my Sprint SGS3 and I'm sure it's not a samsung cable.
@OP: This is also with the stock kernel so the support is there.
Hmmm, yeah I've been looking everywhere to see what's wrong, but all I get is that it should just work. My guess is either my phone is broken, or the OTG cable I have is just slightly different and the phone doesn't recognize it, but the Xoom does cuz it was made with the Xoom in mind. Can someone suggest a cheap OTG cable that you know works on the SGSIII? Thanks!
i got mine from buy.com for like 4 dollars shipped came from Cali got here in 2 days :highfive:
Had that problem but then I pushed it all the way in until it clicked, thought it was in before but it wasn't it should click when it's in.

Its definitely all the way in, the plastic casing of the cable is flush with the bottom of the phone. No luck =(
Just bought a cheap one from Amazon that qualified for prime 2 day shipping that I ordered along with my SanDisk 64GB card. Worked fine on the thumbdrive drive I tested. It fits in real tight though, I'm going to file down the two tings so it's easier to unplug.

There is no "samsung" or "moto" OTG cable, Its either wired right or not. Micro USB has 5 pins, not 4 like normal USB. The extra pin is what determines if its an OTG cable, a "factory" cable, and so forth and with OTG, that pin is wired to ground. I have a handful of $3 OTG cheapo adapters that work with everything I have thrown at them with my S3 and that includes class complaint, bus powered 5 in 5 out midi interfaces so unless the sprint device is horribly crippled in this regard, I'd say OTG works like a champ on the S3
personally, i bought a few of these: http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B005QX7KYU/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
just tested them with a whole range of devices (mouse, keyboard, usb drives, an ipod, another s3, a ps3 remote, a dslr) and works flawlessly
It was the Moto cable
So I had to go exchange my S3, there was dust on the camera sensor, and the Moto OTG cable didn't work on the replacement. I got one of the cheap amazon OTG cables, and lo and behold it works now. The Moto one works on the Xoom with no issue, as does the generic one I bought, but only the generic works on the S3. My guess is Moto did something slightly different with their cable, maybe used a pull-down resistor on the sense pin instead of shorting it to ground or just something that causes the S3 not to recognize it.
Didn't see anything in a search, looking for an OTG adapter for a stock non rooted Mate2.
Friend of mines adapter works, but he forgot who he bought it from, the one I found on Amazon
doesn't work. But, I have VERIFIED my non rooted stock Mate2 will work with the OTG.
Any suggestions? They aren't that expensive, but I've prefer not to buy four or five to find
one that works.
tnx

I've found with these μUSB that sometimes the connection is at fault (the tabs get pressed in somehow so the cable doesn't slot in place). The cheaper cables do this more than others.
Never had a problem with a StarTech OTG cable. The plastic casing feels a little cheap, even on their more expensive cables (their cables have been like this lately), so if your friend roughhouses their electronics it might fall apart.
Unfortunate that a lot of these cables are on this level lately, I can't afford to order a bunch of cables to test at the moment (esp. with a bad CAD)
Recently picked up the v30 and purchased an otg cable to be able to hook my printer to my phone for work (did this on my g4 no problem). First plug shows up and when i plug it in, the phones usb status goes to "power supply" (like im trying to charge another device, not charge my v30). If i changs it to any other option, a second later it changes back to power supply. I thought this was strange as nothing was even plugged into the otg cable. Returned it and got another one of a different brand , same problem. Got a specific cord thats usb c on one end, printer plug on the other side. Same exact thing. All of these cables worked fine on my buddies Motorola, so at this point, i can only assume its the phone. I have tried plugging multiple devices to the otg cables, even getting a usb to micro usb to try my old otg cable and all had the same problem. Verizon sent a brand new phone to me thinking my cable port was bad. It did the same thing as well. If anyone else has run into this issue or has any advice, that would be much appreciated. My work printer is old and the wifi direct sucks to hook up constantly and it likes to disconnect in the middle of printing.
Thanks,

Hi,
I have been having the same issues. I am trying to use the OTG adapter for my Meridian DAC. Ordered through Amazon 2 times, with different sellers claiming compatibility. But no luck.
And to concur with you, I get the identical issue where it switches momentarily to my selection, then Immediately goes to Power supply.

Regarding connecting a external DAC to the V30 I currently have that working with my V30 and my FIIO Kunlun E18. The cable used is below. I know that it's not the same thing that you are talking about because it's not exactly an OTG adapter but it works for my purposes. Good luck to you.

Thanks for the info.
Do I need to change anything in the settings?
Or is it basically plug and play?

It's plug and play but when the DAC is connected it asks you if you want to set a default app to the USB device. Be sure to select NO and just cancel out if window. I was selecting yes when I had USB pro music app installed and it prevented me from hearing anything from LG music player, YouTube,and other 3rd party apps.

I'm also facing the same issue with an otg adapter, exact same symptoms.
Is there any solution other than buying specific otg adapters like the ones listed above?
I've also noticed that my V30 is very picky when it comes to usb connection. I have an usb c flash drive, and if it moves in the slightest, the connection just drops. It also happens with some usb cables that I've tried to use to connect the phone with my pc.
