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:

If you use a usb wireless mouse/keyboard do you need an externally powered hub. The keyboard/mouse is battery powered, so wouldn't you just need a micro to full usb adapter? Any answers would be appreciated
Edit: would there be any other issues (driver, etc.)
You need a Y-cable and to provide power for USB devices on WebOS in USB host mode. This video pretty much shows it all:

Are you looking to use a keyboard that has a wifi or ir dongle? I just tried a mk320 after powering the dongle with a powered usb hub, y connection usb and some usb gender changers. Nope, don't work (doesn't work for my hdtv, which supports usb keyboards either).
It's sorta a moot question anyways since you need a plug for the hub, isn't it?
I got the hp bt keyboard and that works fine, and is small enough to lug around, and has support for cards on the screen as well as Just Type.

Good Morning
When I want to connect my droid X phone to my laptop, the cable is usb on one end and micro usb on the other end. So can I use that on my Sony S also to connect to the laptop? or are there different wires inside the cable or something so that I cannot use it, different wattage or amperage or whatever??
As always I am technically challenged LOL
Sandy
The Sony Tablet S uses the standard Micro-USB cable so you'll be able to connect to your laptop with no problems.
It will work for both, given the chip( Mini USB) is the same for both. The cable just carries the current. It is the charger portion that puts out the specific voltages. You are good to go as long as the mini USB fits

Really? This works?
Uh oh. I've tried hooking up my tablet to the PC with a standard micro usb cable. And also with the sony converter that makes it a normal sized USB port and a double ended USB cable. Both of these didn't do anything for me. I've just been transferring files to/from it with the sony converter and a jump drive.
Anyways, let me know if everyone else is normally hooking the tablet to a PC or if you guys are just assuming. Thanks

You should only need the one cable.. The cable I use for my HTC Desire HD works on the tablet and the same with the cable for the Galaxy S II as they are the same kind of cable.
Just connect micro USB, from tablet to PC and it works

Same here. I plug it in with a cheap USB <-> Micro-USB cable and it recognises it instantly and I can copy stuff to and from without even having to mount the storage manually.
Weird!! I tried plugging it in with my normal phone's micro usb cable when I first bought it and nothing happened. I tried again last night and nothing happened.
I just read all your posts about how it will work and I tried again, and my computer recognized it this time.

*This is only a reference/information thread for those who want to use OTG feature on our 2011 xperia phones, for your convenience.
(For that Sony Ericsson didn't tell you how to use that feature.)
Information for xperia mini, mini pro, LWW and Active.(since they share similar chipsets)
TESTED ON GB 2.3 Stock rom with wt19i.
1. USB OTG support is native on stock roms.
2. Almost every USB keyboard and mouse can be used with OTG.
3. Some special keys on the keyboard may NOT work(such as volume up/down buttons).
4. Key bindings may NOT work. e.g. Ctrl + C won't work in terminal apps such as connectbot or terminal emulator. Consider twice if you want to use keyboard for terminal.
5. To use USB flash drives, you have to use OTG helper from shardul_seth from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1588979
6. (with OTG helper) USB drives will be mounted @ /sdcard/usb_stick_1/ (or something similar)
7. USB hubs CAN be used.
8. Portable hard-drives can be used although it needs external power source.
9. Using these USB devices with your phone can DEPLETE YOUR BATTERY rather quickly.
10. Pen tablets won't work. (Tested device: Wacom Banboo)
11. USB card readers might NOT work. (Some do, some don't. I tested a card reader with multiple slots(MS Pro, microSD, SD) and my wt19i failed to recognize it.)
12. USB flash drives larger than 16GB might NOT work. (As reported from Taiwanese forums.)
13. Some USB joysticks will work, some won't. (No drivers for Android
I will keep testing USB devices though. Thread will be updated in the future.
Attachment is my own wt19i with an USB keyboard.
Preserved for future use.

@paacoo Thank you. Information corrected now.
p.s. Tested that Playstation 3 controller wouldn't work
Other devices
Hello all
I have tried WD self powered 1Tb HDD the trick was to connect a hub with double USB cable, one to the phone and the other to a battery or usb charger, worked correctly, I think I can browse all the drive content.
Recently I bought a multi card reader branded as Manhattan that support SD, micro SD, MMC, etc.., plus 3 usbs and worked. I can read my SD/microsd and read/write files.
Also I tried wireless (RF) mouse/keyboard branded acktec and worked great.
If you are interested I can tell you the product number.
@edgar0204 Thanks for your reply. I think I'll start a list for unsupported devices then

@aznrogerazn: I"m sure in that Android compatible only with HID devices. I"m unsure in that PS3 controller is HID-based, but take a look here:
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/23634/Wired-PS3-Six-Axis-Controller-Using-USB-HID-as-Inp
@x.x.x.Peria The reason why Playstation 3 controller fails to work is that the phone cannot provide sufficient power supply. With proper programming and enough power, it is supposed to work. It can be used on the phone with bluetooth, however.

There are no hidden features on our phone.
USB OTG feature is known already on Live with Walkman, announced aswell on official white paper.
By default(and officially), OTG support exists only on LWW, but with certain workarounds, it is possible on other devices aswell.

Knowledge for homemade USB OTG cable http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092493
I don't found posts about atom bomb yet
I made a homemade USB OTG with the help of this tutorial, and works like a charm.
:highfive:
If I use an USB HUB with external power, it will work? My target is use an USB HUB with external power to supply energy for a mouse, a keyboard, a pen drive and my phone. Or just to reduce the battery consumption. I know HUB powered by USB works fine.
PS: with OTG cable, my homemade one: kingston pendrive 8GB works, lenovo mouse and keyboard works, leadership mouse and keyboard (with a nice number of special keys) works, Bright wireless mouse with usb adapter works, bluetooth usb dongle don't works (needs driver), and with a USB OTG cable you can recharge another phone haha. * I'm using ICS at St15i.
USB hubs with external power source is working as reported from Taiwanese forums. You can only use one flash drive on the hub at the moment though.

Interesting.
With powered hub, I connected a PS3 controller and reading the kernel log with dmesg, seems to be recognized and installed but don't works and starts to charge, without my phone at hub the controller don't charge. Other devices work normal, and the phone is not in charge mode :silly:.
If anyone have idea to tests, I think I can do for help.
Thanks for the thread aznrogerazn.
Can anyone confirm if this works on MiniCMSandwich Lite? I don't have an OTG cable but I'm gonna buy one if and only if, it's working. Gonna be a waste if it doesn't.
@GregyrioAxiaMagno PS3 controllers can be used on bluetooth mode. You can google the method if you like.

Thanks aznrogerazn, I have the Sixaxis app working good, is a nice app is it?
But, check this out, I have a nice news hahaha. I managed to work the PS3 controller by USB. So: I have a 7 ports powered hub, and it can be powered by usb also. I plugged my otg cable in Android and the cable at the HUB, then I plugged the power cable, after this, I connected the PS3 controller at HUB, the lights at the controller will blink if in charge mode or blink only once if the battery is full, and unintentionally, I hit the button with the PlayStation logo, and voilà: the controller works! I noticed what the touchscreen gets a strange behavior... I saw this same behavior when a friend used an non oficial usb cable to charge the xperia x8, an ordinary cable... like if the touchscreen got messy. But the controller and the rest works. So give a try, with a powered HUB and plug all, then hit the PS logo. I noticed also what the usb host mode can be disabled sometimes, is just restart the phone or plug a mouse or something to get work again.
I will make a video maybe or take some photos in another thread.
EDIT: The strange behavior of the touchscreen is caused by the power, I mean, when I connect the power cable. I think this happens because there is no filter of energy in the circuit. Maybe a high quality HUB solve the issue. The touch screen become normal again when the ordinary power cable got disconnected.
EDIT 2: About the crazy touch see this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10206146&postcount=8. The power cable of the USB HUB is an ordinary 5V 1000mA, thats is the problem.
EDIT 3: I made a video but I won't open a new thread xP

Hello! I'm using an Atrix MB860 with CM7-MROM, rooted and unlocked. I have a USB-female to micro-b-male USB-OTG cable (yes it is an OTG cable with pins 5 and 4 shorted or whatever), a powered USB hub where the red +5v line is coming from a 5v, 600mA power supply, not the usb cable, and 3 different USB OTG host controller apps.
My powered USB hub works just fine on both of my computers, so I know that its not the issue. But I can't get my Atrix, or at least the USB OTG apps I've tried, to recognize any device I plug into the hub, or even straight into the cable. I've tried 2 different wired keyboards, a wireless keyboard/mouse, an xbox 360 wireless controller receiver, and 4 different USB flash drives, and NOTHING works on the Atrix (but they all work on my PC through the same hub). I have tried restarting the USB OTG apps, I've tried pressing the 'refresh' button in them, I've tried restarting the entire phone with the USB OTG cable plugged in on bootup, but nothing works!
What am I doing wrong?! I know this phone supports USB OTG, I've seen videos of it working on youtube.
EDIT - Okay, my powered hub + otg cable combo is confirmed working just fine on my friend's Motorola Xoom tablet running stock Android 4.whatever firmware. It recognizes both my keyboard and my flash drive plugged into the hub, at the same time. But when I unplug it from the tablet and plug it into my Atrix phone, so that the keyboard/flash drive are plugged into the EXACT SAME ports on the hub, my Motorola Atrix does not recognize them at all.
What. The. Hell.
i dont think atrix does OTG. sorry mate.
Whaaat? But there's numerous threads in here about people getting it to work just fine on the Atrix!
Also, there's videos like this on youtube of it working fine on an MB860:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRa9aXO3Tog
I think it only works on blur gb. You need nebtop.apk, so you can simulate docking the phone. That should enable otg with your powered hub

You are going to need a USB 1.x/2.0 Female Type A to Male Type Micro-B adapter cable.
The XTZ's USB port does not supply enough amperes to power most portable USB HHDs, so when selecting an HDD, make sure it requires very low amperes.
The WiFi mouse's Windows-based adapter will not work with the XTZ unless the mouse's manufacturer can provide Android drivers. You need to check with the manufacturer to see if they have any, but I highly doubt they have Android drivers. You will have better luck using a Bluetooth or USB mouse.
You can use a non-powered or powered USB hub to gain more USB ports. A powered USB hub would be a better choice because it would eliminate the problem of powering a USB HDD. Most powered USB hubs are powered by AC adapters, but you can find some that are battery powered.
There are several discussions in this forum about USB MHL to HDMI adapters. Search the forum to find out which adapters work with the XTZ.
You cannot charge a device using a charger through a USB hub. You will need a powered USB hub specifically designed for charging devices.
Right but the question is does the Xperia z tab can be charging the some time when is connect to tv via hdmi?

Try using a Micro USB Host OTG Y-Cable with Micro USB Power for Sony Phones & Tablets from Valarm, which they say has been tested with the XTZ SGP312.
