So I'm using DJ Steve's 1.9.1 rom and was thinking about doing a clean install and was thinking maybe I should give the USB hosting a go.
I was wondering if anyone has tried just using the normal Dell cable and attaching a usb female to female adapter/cable and then whatever USB device on the end?
Does this work or is it possible to change the wiring of a usb extension cord so that I don't need to hack into my Streak cable.
Cheers
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
It shouldnt work as usb-otg uses different pins to my knowledge.
Would non OTG usb devices work though?

Dear Sir,
we confirm dell OTG cable it's workable!
we already selling our otg cable in aliexpress.com,
i soon upload the OTG cable usage for all our friends who use dell mini 5.
Do you manufacture/design them?
Any possibility of a dock port to usb mini or micro female port so you can use a standard charging cabler/car charger with it?
Do you have the pinouts to the dock connector? I know it's been posted before, but a firsthand list would be more reliable.
sure sir, we confirm dell mini 5 OTG cable works, it's support your U disk ， mouse， keyboard, and movable-harddisk, beleive me, i sure will upload a post here, can contact me my email: [email protected]
hehe i will upload photo here assp.

Has anyone figured out if its possible to use the ExtUSB (sync) port as a USB host port? I'm guessing the communication lines could be controlled with software, but that you would have to use an externally powered USB hub (or devices that are externally powered) unless the +/- charge lines are 2-way.

I don'ty know the answer, but... what for? The X7500 has the cable to allow USB devices connect to the USB host... so? And for sure you will need a cable to convert mini USB to female regular USB... so is not a matter of money or carring a cable I guess.
Mostly techie curiosity. I figured since someone already figured out how to reroute internet sharing to make a wifi host, someone else must have looked at that normal-looking usb port and thought about making it work like a usb host. I'm a programmer but I don't have time to work on that...

unfortunatly the chip that does that feature is not capable of that.
if you look at the schematics of a root hub it has 1 main chip that is the hub controller, and slave chips for each of the ports. a device interface has a diffrent type of chip that's intended to be connected to a root hub connection port. thusly no software fix could be made too convert a port intended to be a connection point into a root hub port
mind you the 4-in 1 cabloe is cheap enough and i saw at least 1 site via google that had a usb port only cable for the sepcial connector
so is worth looking at that.
Hey - do you have the details of the company selling this 'usb only' cable?
Thanks for the input. Just curious if it could be done, I hadn't tried to look up the schematics. I second the request for the info on the usb-only cable, that would be perfect since they already gave us a vga cable...
Would this "USB cable" allow me to use a 149GB externally HDD caddy like I managed on my Dell x51v Axim's CF to USB slot, as the 4 in 1 cable isn't cutting it?
Thankz
There are lots of posts related to external HD and X7500... in general most of them (99'99%) don't work properly. In the webpages from HTC said that the 4-in-1 cable only admit mouse, keyboard and pen-drives.
Hi, will the cable work with this phone or do I need some special cable with the MHL? Can somebody who got the phone already test it.
Thanks
Hello mate
I think it would of been appropriate if u posted this in the accessories section.
anyway to answer your question
i think the MHL cable is not available yet, Accoring to clove.co.uk, its available in june.
http://www.clove.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-i9100-mhl-adaptor
I think the MHL is the standard, and u just need a cable that has micro usb on one side and hdmi on the other.
although the ones at clove has a block on it, i think this allows charging from a plug socket with a standard micro usb cable, becasue i think there are no MHL tvs available at the moment.
Some explanation that people may find handy in relation to MHL.
does this device ( ATRIX ) supports usb on-the-go?
what is USB on the go?

Wiki made it sound like the USB host feature that is available in ICS, flash drives, keyboards, mouse and such..
its a cool feature that allows a usb-phone connectivity. in simple we may plug and use pendrive, ext hdd with our phone, and access the files in those drives.....

Short answer.. Yes
Lapdock and hd hubs have usb ports already configured.
You can also make your own adapter by purchasing a usb otg cable and modifying a generic usb hub. The otg protocol needs to have 5v returned from the hub to the phone.
There are a couple of forum posts related to that.

that's of course possible ; atrix is a great gadget and capable of many things .
here we go:
1. first get a USB OTG adaptor cable.
2. make your 5v electric-powered USB hub ready.
3. make your USB cable ready (usually USB hub is good for mini USB cable; therefore, you need to obtain also micro to mini USB adaptor too.)
everything is ready now.
4. connect USB hub to power.
5. connect your USB cable to USB hub.
6. connect your USB OTG to your atrix.
you are all set-up.
here we continue...
connect your keyborad, mouse, usb flash, etc. to the USB hub. Voilaaaaaa mouse cursor and the keyboard as well as the usb flash are all visible on Atrix.
Have fun and enjoy it...
In case you wish, search for youtube for "Atrix OTG support"; you will come across many vidoes that verify what I just briefed above..
on top of all, get a neptop.apk and connect to the HD TV via HDMI cable and taste the ultimate pleasure of WEBTOP

Yeppppp, u r right about the clicks.
I am not sure at the moment nor can I verify where I see the USB as I am not at my home desk now, but if I am not mistaken it presents itself or you may find it under "files". Should you have not stock "files" app, then refer to "usbdisk..." folders under "mnt".
My regards,
Till yesterday there was a schematic, where did it go? :S

is this necessary to use usb hub cant we directly connect 1 tb hd via otg cable?? I searched the whole internet but cant find any guide reagarding atrix otg... Is otg working on atrix cm7??
WOW!
I just got it working in a Custom Blur-based Rom ([ROM][GB] NOTTACHTRIX 4G (v1.9.0) Updated Mar 11 2013).
I used a Power charger connected to a Innobo (average quality) USB hub. Then I connected a mouse and a USB memory to the hub plus the Atrix (via OTG cable).
The phone recognized the USB memory without any problem and the mouse works really fine.
I have´n´t tried a keyboard yet, but I guess It will work as well.
Regards. :good:

I don't get what you're trying to say

Hey guys, just got a Mate 2, and i can't find the reverse charging cable in my country. From what i understand i can't use any normal male micro usb to male micro usb cable, it is a special "one way" one. Do you know any "compatible" one from another device, or the schematics to build one on my own?
On second thought, would it work, using a male usb to male micro usb adaptor with a OTG cable?
You can order it directly from Huawei which is what I did cheap works well and have used it on my s3 with the zero lemon 7500 mah battery to charge other devices as well.
Yes an otg cable will work.

Yup, just tried it.
Thank you guys, i got an OTG cable and the adapter, and i tested it as soon as i got back home, it works just fine :good:
Hi!
It looks like it's possible to use some USB Ethernet adapters with some Android tablets, but is it possible to have it running on AC power at the same time?
I suppose that this can be achieved with some special OTG cable, if it is possible at all. Have anyone been successful with this?
Please share what's your setup, i.e what tablet do you have, what Ethernet adapter works with it, and what kind of OTG cable are you using.
Direct links (Amazon, eBay, etc...) are very welcome for Ethernet adapters and OTG cables.
Thanks in advance!
PS: Hopefully this is the right forum to post these type of questions.
Hi, I tried with a otg cable which had an additional port for power but it's just for when u use hdds who needs more power then 450 mA to run. Android is not allowing to charge the phone during USB otg usage.
