Wrong section, this is for development. Anyway, yes, if you modify a POWERED USB hub to send 5 volts back to the atrix through a USB OTG adapter, you can use the ports for whatever you'd like.

You need something like this http://db.tt/DVLqgxHl its basically phone - otg cable - y USB to mini USB (where the mini USB is in the hubs host side and one of the USB is in the otg cable, while the other is in the client side of the powered hub, that way no soldering or modding of the hub /cable is needed) - powered USB hub - peripherals (mouse, kb, USB single, USB hdd etc)

it these cable work ??

[Q] USB Host mode (OTG) cable

Has anyone tried this cable with the galaxy player 5?
I found it on Amazon.com
SANOXY Micro USB Host Mode OTG Cable Flash Drive SD T-Flash Card Adapter FOR Samsung GT-i9100 i9100 Galaxy S II 2 GT-N7000 Galaxy Note.
I cannot post links yet so sorry for the lack of that.
Would I need a ROM that supported it?
Thanks for any comments

I doesn´t try it but i think it will work cause galaxy player and galaxy S have same hardware...
I should work, as the Galaxy player has usb storage support (the internal sdcard is listed as usb storage, so I am assuming yes).
No Aries family device supports USB OTG by default.
Some people have had success in getting OTG partially working on Aries-family devices, but it is simply not possible to have full functionality. (Most specifically, the device does not have what is required to power an offboard accessory.)
Usb support for samsung galaxy 5.0 international (one with hard home button)
hey guys
usb support would be soo helpful for me with my life and all... im sure its possible to do it we just need to get a rom and kernal to understand the data input from the usb devices cause i have a external power supply for the use of usbs but i just cant get a kernal and rom with the data support :/ help would be great
thanks Evo
I've tried using an OTG cable with my player and it doesn't work. It looks like powered devices need t be used so maybe a y cable is better?

Not out of the box... but to anyone else Is there a kernel or other I can flash to enable usb host? I'd like to use a mouse and keyboard.

Does the MediaPad support USB OTG?

Hi,
I've googled this question and it seems that it does. However, I'm plugging a USB flash drive (Sandisk Cruzer 1GB) into the device and nothing seems to be happening.
Yes it does.
Did you buy a USB OTG cable? And did you check within a file explorer of your choice (I'm using EStrongs) whether you get the USB storage as a new directory? I unfortunately neither do carry the USB OTG cable nor a USB stick with me so I can't tell you the exact directory name.

Works with my firmware mod C232B005 and the new kernel-3.0.42.
I just tested that with some video from a 8Gb USB pen drive.
You need a mini USB-B to USB-A adapter/connector.
I'm using build number S7-301uV100R002C232B005, Android version 4.0.3, kernel version 3.0.8
I bought a USB OTG cable, don't have a file explorer but alogcat didn't show any activity when I plugged the drive in.
Works fine on mine. It was even working in HC3.2 rom. Keyboard, mouse, pendrives and usb card readers ( used to read my cybershot's card) works fine. But have to tap 'mount usb storage' several times to access my other phone's (HTC wildfire) SD card over usb.

is your usb flash formatted on FAT32?
OTG works fine even on stock rom. Tested with various USB flash drives and card readers/SD cards of various sizes. Also have played numerous media using the OTG too. I think format should be FAT/FAT32.
One thing that didn't work was an external hard drive (500gb). Maybe it needs its own power for it to mount on the mediapad though I haven't tried formatting it to FAT/FAT32 yet as its my backup drive.

This has been an issue with Android USB OTG since the beginning. Flash drives, mice, and keyboards will work fine by themselves, but anything that requires a little more juice like spinning platter drives needs to be run through a powered USB hub. As for drive format, only FAT/FAT32 is supported. However, some custom kernels have allowed for NTFS file support.
As a side note, I can also confirm that USB 3.0 drives work with the OTG cable. (Patriot Supersonic Express 32GB tested)

I already had an inclination that this should be the case but was not able to confirm as I don't have any external HDD with its own power nor do I have a powered USB hub. Thanks again for providing this explanation.
other usb devices?
Does anybody know if the OTG support on the springboard goes beyond OS/file system support, and allows for third party android apps to connect to usb devices?
an example would be the DSLR Controller android app or Remote Release android app being able to see/control a Canon DSLR...
thanks

I tried both apps with my Rebel XSi/450D and had no luck with the OTG cable. Neither app recognizes that the camera is plugged into the tablet. I'm running HWMODs ROM with the MediaPad EX kernel. The last time I tried the app was with my Asus Transformer TF101, and it worked great (no OTG needed though).
Camera also doesn't mount as usb device for file transfers when plugged in.

FAT32 works perfectly with OTG cable. However, I can confirm that NTFS works just fine also. Not sure if it's built into the stock ROM but it works for me running HWMODs ROM and the MediaPad EX kernel.
Remote control works perfectly fine with my 550D over OTG cable. USB FAT32 sticks works fine as well. Don't remember about NTFS. DO NOT connect exFAT drives, as Huawei ROMs kills exFAT partitions! And I wasn't able to recover them. It won't recognize my card reader though...

hi i have just bought a huawei mediapad t1-8.0 and i change it to russian firmware-rooted with towellroot-installed with estrong but i cant see any usb device when i plug in my usb with usb otg cable. anything missing in my component to make it work? tnx for add in your rlpy.
I am not that skilled IT wise I wrongly assumed that my OTG device was a plug and go! Now I am stumped I had hoped to turn my Huawei T5 pad as A TV in my camper. 12v TV's are to expensive as I am retired on a limited income. Is there an easy fix in IT speak that may work for me???

USB OTG not working?

Does CM7 support USB-OTG? Because I am using a rooted unlocked MB860 with CM7-MROM installed, and I can't get USB-OTG working, even with a powered USB hub. But the same hub and peripherals and otg cable work just fine on my stock Motorola Xoom tablet.

Yes it is. In fact, the OTG cable I ordered from Amazon arrived today. I'm not allowed to post links yet, but if you search Amazon for "Cable Matters (2-Pack) Micro-USB 2.0 On-The-Go (OTG) Adapter" it's $6.99 right now.
I plugged it into my Note and it read my 8GB USB stick perfectly. I was even able to plug my mouse and keyboard into it!
Totally worth the price. Let me know if you have questions.

Finally I got mine one.
I'm using CM 10.2 by Frankenbiker and works perfectly. I can use my USB Stick and my optical USB mouse.
The only problem is the battery is draining fast when it's connected the usb stick and more with the mouse.

Just got my NP and Need advice - Ethernet and USB long side

Hello
Just got my new Nexus Player and after long search I can't find the right answer.
I want to connect the player to my Ethernet in my house for better connection and if possible to add an external HDD.
Here is my list of questions and I hope that I've got the the right place:
1. I want to have the maximum network speed and I have Giga cables in my walls . Is there a standards in the adapter that I need to buy to have the maximum speed? Or all the adapters have the same speed limit?
2. Is there a way to connect both Ethernet and USB HDD long side? Is there a magic box that have USB and also an Ethernet connection? If there is I would like to get an advise what is the best one to buy.
If someone have an experience what the items I need and have an advice what is the best to buy - I will love to get some links.
Many thanks in advance

You'll need an OTG cable, a USB 2.0 hub (a powered one if you're going to hook up non-powered hdd), and then just about anything you want will work through the hub. For expanded storage you'll need to root and install stickmount. If you want to install large games then you may need foldermount as well.
Sorry for posting the same issue for the 5th and many thanks for helping me - now it's time for shopping

In Amazon type in "ethernet USB hub", many results will come up. Here is a link to the first one. I don't know for sure if it is compatible or not though.
Anker® 3-Port USB 3.0 HUB with 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet Converter (3 USB 3.0 Ports, A RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet Port, Support Windows XP, Vista, Win7/8 (32/64 bit), Mac OS 10.6 and above, Linux) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KGV7I9Y/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_-ifUub140WKQG
The problem is that even if the adapter supports full Ethernet speed the USB port on the nexus player will not.
So, you should get the benefit of a stable connection... But it will never be beyond USB 2.0 speeds.
I am connected to 2.5ghz wireless N and I haven't had a problem with 1080p Netflix, no stutters on YouTube and modern combat 4 and 5 both play with no lag.

Can anyone tell me why my USB flash drive doesn't always mount with my Nexus player? I've got a powered Plugable USB hub, with my pny 32gb fat32 format USB drive.
It keeps switching names and sometimes doesn't show up at all until after I rerun stickmount.
This happens after waking from sleep as well. I'm obviously rooted and unlocked what am I missing?
Also how do I activate pro on stickmount after I've purchased it. I just get a weird screenshots about the pro version when clicking upgrade....
