hey guys
i recently got a USB otg cable for my S2(GT-I9100) and while this cable fine works with pen drives it doesn't work with any USB Keyboards or Mice that i plug into it. every time i do plug a keyboard or mouse, the phone completely freezes and i need to do a restart to get it running again
I tried applying the fix mentioned here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1209567)
but still no good
any help will be appreciated
(PS: i am running siyah kernel 2.6.12 along with android 2.3.6)
Same here Bro
Heyho XDA,
sorry for pushing this old Thread,
but i have exactly the same Problem
Everytime i plug in a USB keyboard or a mice,
the Phone freezes instantly -.-
My Setup is:
CheckRom Revo v6
Siyah Kernel v2.6.13
Original Samsung OTG cable
Anyone else having this issue?
Or maybe a fix ?
Same problem
I've got the same problem. Pendrives, memorycardreader and systemcamera works great, but no mouse and keyboard.
Tested the same setup on my friends Galaxy Note and it worked out of the box. But not on my phone.
Download
USB Host Controller from the Play Store , see if that works.

It seems that USB Host and USB OTG are two different things. It has to be supported in the kernel. And I did root my phone and derooted by changing the kernel. I didn't save my original kernel so I had to download a new one. So maybe my kernel doesn't support OTG anymore.
I'm gonna look closer into this and report back it I'm getting it to work.
In my country , a seller tell that there is a cable for nook color suitable with nook tablet ! But i think they use different chip , so that it cant suitable? Is this right?
Is there any OTG cable suitable with NT ? I want to connect it to usb 3g modem !
Hi!
Well, after few weeks with my nice S3, yesterday I finally had time to try to root and mod my phone, but things seems to be worst in advance, so I woul like to ask for some help...
1) At first, I never plug my phone on my pc since I bought it, since I put all my stuff on sd card with an textternal usb reader/w and put in and everything works nice.... however when I yesterday try to put my phone in usb download mode, I found that it was NOT recognized in usb in any way (no MTP, no usb device and not usb Download Mode) by my vista windows install on my laptop (I use more kubuntu but keep the original vista install that came with my machine for the rare times that I need to run something on windows).
Ok, so, I then read post, search and follow sugestions about remove drivers, reinstall Kies, remove kies, reinstall, then install only the drivers for T-mobile version, and also uninstall everything and reinstall again with the ToolKit 4.0... but again NO results and S3 not recognized on my machine...also tested with others micro usb cable (1 generic and one oem motorola)...
2) Again and follow posts... I borrow anotehr laptop with a Win7 install that NEVER had installed Samsung drivers or Kies... so I installed Kies, and drivers only for try to at least get my S3 recognized by Kies by USB cables... same NO successs...
3) So, then I came to my Kubuntu install and try at first a flash of recovery with Heimdall... so It was recognized and completed the flash of recovery, But I found that I use a STOCK recovery file... son when I try to acces recovery, I get it but again it was the same stock recovery....
4) Here is the weird part... after this first Heimdall flash, the Flash counter appears with 1 count, BUT now Heimdall also dont recongnizes my S3 with this error:
Initialising connection...
Detecting device...
Failed to detect compatible download-mode device.
I wonder if after first count may the Stock S3 may be block the usb connection for dwonload mode until some sort of stock software, that may reset usb and allow it to enter in download mode again... also wonder if may be some hidden menu optioon for reset/test thet usb port or for change it form MTP to USB storage mode thatmay NOT requiere ROOT since I not see by now a way to get root withouth usb access detected in pc.
So, by now, I am still lucky in that my phone is booting fine on stock android and charges and everything seems normal, except that there is no way to make it recognized in usb connection of any type, none Linux, vista o win7...
5) I then try at a last resort to try to get root, to try to use STOCK recovery to try to flash a zip with CWM recovery inside, but give a error of validation and no flash nothing...
6) By now I wonder how could be reset or wake up the usb since seems a common issue with S3 but almost everything that I found refers to solution when the phone is already rooted, and if not rooted all I found is the same suggestions about uninstall/reinstall drivers/kies but nothing else...
So, I remember that when I used a Moto XT720, one of the ways to make it custom roms, was a zip that was proper prepared by a dev, that include a version of CWM zipped inside a file named update.zip that could be flashed temporaly by Stock recovery "flash update" option of stock recovery menu, and then it Boots to CWM recovery that finnally allows to flash custom roms properly inside the phone and WITHOUT usb access... so I wonder if somebody may know/help with a similar solution for S3 that dont get USB access for get flased roms or root...
So, as I post above, by now I fell enough lucky to have my phone booting-up normal and charging, but feels that I caged since I not see a way to get root or custom roms other that have an usb fully recognized by pc and seems that this could be an issue of the stock firmware that may be happen... so I would like to ask for help suggestions and proece with extremely care before doing any other attemps to root since I would like to solve how to maintain a reliable usb connection open and recognized status and/or a way that may be possible to install CWM recoveery with an update.zip file form stock recovery, and from there the advance may be safer....
Thanks for read and any help/suggestion will be very appreciated.
Best regards to all.
Well... Really worry now...
And by now I test several attemps of the same tricks plus a suggestion on other post, about reset factory, fully charge S3 (somebody talks that in their case the S3 refuse to connect if battery level is under certain 85% level and the USB connect in Battery Charge mode only and above level of charge allow MTP connection), and also a suggestion about factory reset and a leaving the phone without battery by a while ( I leave mine by 12 hours...)....
Still no way to connection trough usb...
So any help or suggestion for reset USB operation mode (in order to get my S3 detected in PC) or to get Root access from Stock recovery "apply update from external Card", may seems the possible solutions.
Please if could be some help, no answer/posts by now, so hope tha this could not be a BUMP... :-/
Thanks for read and if please some help...
Best regards!

Hi!
Ok, first of all thanks for reply...
1) I already try with an Motorola OEM cable from a Droid 3 and with a generic micro-usb no brand (As I found by now seems that is S3 have a new usb pinout with 11 pins port) so may be need a new cable with 11pins or may believe that a standard micro-usb cable (like mine Droid 3 oem cable) may be better for debug this issue.
2) Please excuse my dumb question, but what is a drainboard USB port? (by now all my tests are directly to the usb ports of my laptop that are working fine in any of the 3 that it have and recognizes other phones, usb memories and other usb devices in any of them), so I wonder about what is a drainboard USB port and if it may be a clue to try to fix this...
3) Ok, by now I did my testing try to turn on/off usb debugging in several of the tests without any sign of change in usb port status of my S3, may be possible some additional setting in stock rom that may affect usb port status aprt of Debugging On/Off?
Thanks again for take tiem for answer and any additional help will be very gartefull
P.D. Today I still did some testing try same about kies on/off, turn on/off laptop with phone connected/unconected, etc, and still usb port still in charging mode only... Thanks again.
Hi!
Well, I finally got my usb work and was due a combination of wipe and original cable (and combination of this factoirs in my previous attemps...so I would like to thanks again to JJEgan since with their "standard reply" kick me to start a new round of tests and I found some details that would like that would like to share if may help somebody else that may look in this thread....
As many other people post previously thet Samsung original cable that came with S3 is really faulty (as many others friends found and post before), but I didnt found in previous posts if somebody look why this (simple after fix didnt look more about), so I was curious and checked it, and at least to my sight (that not may be the 20/20 but close, and I checked with a magnifying glass...), so these are some details that appears to my eyes:
1) The Samsung S3 usb conector seems that have somewhat more tiny contacts plate that other phones (including samsung as I checked with my Captivate Glide), so the contact with a cable seems to be somewhat loose in many cases...
2) In my case the diference was with a Droid 3 oem cable that when is checked carefully against the Samsung S3 original cable and Samsung Glide original cable, the Moto oem seems that have the internal wire contacts inside the micro usb conector of the usb cable, more "curved" to the center of the slot of the micro usb cable conector that the Samsung ones (in fact the Samsung seems almost planes in comparison). So I believe that my previous attemps with Moto cable may fail because I didnt full wipe my S3 at that time of test with moto cable.
3) I also receive and tested today an HDTV Adapter TIP (5 to 11 Pin Converter-Samsung EPL-FU10BEBSTA) and I gald to confirm that It works wonderfully with my Glide HDTV adapter (Skiva MHL (Micro USB) to Female HDMI Adapter (1080p Supported)), so it seems a fine piece, BUT the curious detail is that this HDTV Adapter TIP have a really visible longer metalic connector (more than 1mm more) that the metalic connector in the S3 original cable, and when the HDTV Adapter TIP is inserted in S3 it goes fully inside (so apart of somewhat tiny internal plate, seems that the connector is in fact more deep inside S3 than other phones).
4) I also tested the moto cable with HDTV Adapter TIP and it didnt work to make a data transfer connection but make charging of S3 so the connectio is made but not recognized through the HDTV Adapter TIP for data access (but again HDTV siganl of the Skiva adapter works fine).
5) So, my resume for people that may have this issue is:
a- Find a usb cable that may have more curved wire contacts inside prefer oem cables that may have better quality.
b- Test on a windows machine with the LAST AVAILABLE version of KIES and allokies to download their last driver version that may it install.
c- When everything is set, if possible test usb cable and port in copmpuetr with another phone and better if could be another samsung model so You could check that kies is working fine.
d- First plug usb cable in computer and then in S3 and if nothing happen try to move VERY GENTLY AND SOFTLY the micro usb plug connected in S3 in order to try that the really tiny wires of the plug may reach god contact, or try several times to plug and unplu micro usb connector in S3 port (try counting to 10 between plug-unplug).
e- if the above didnt works I may suggest try on another coputer that may have win 7 in order to test better.
In my case the diferences was made with step d of the above comment.
So, by now thanks to people that read this post and best regards to all.
I also have problem with flash SGS3 (GT-I9300) via heimdall 1.3.2 under Ubuntu Precise.
Phone was recognized by Linux but flash was failed.
I haven't any Windows computer to test.

I've try to connect a USB Stick on a Samsumg S3... it work out the box: a pop up appears on Android und leds blinking on the device.
Then I try with another smartphone with a MTK6572 (Alcatel one touch idol mini), but it didn't work. I've use the same cable and the same USB Sitck
Maybe you will be luckier... but be sure to use a OTG cable, the 4th pin (sense) must be grounded to the 5th pin (GND) on the micro USB connector.

Q1:
Have you tried connecting your device to the computer via a USB cable? Can the computer recognize it?
If no, maybe there is problem with your USB port.
If yes, proceed to the next question.
Q2:
Have you tried changing the connectivity state for the USB port in Settings?
If not, try it out now.
If yes, report back and we'll discuss further more.
Use Es File Explorer... That's what I've been using
Sorry for late reply, I got it working, I replaced the usb cable, I think that the quality of the cable was too bad
