I bought a micro usb to usb female adapter so I can use my usb wireless adapter so I can put it in monitor mode (for legal purposes only)
How would I get this to work
I plugged it in and it just sat there doing nothing
I also tried with usb flash drives and nothing happened
Any help?

No and not in future

usb otg
Not working out of the box.
My setup:
"manufactured" otg cable
usb hub
usb cable from an external hdd (with two big USB connectors)
Connected the manufactured otg cable to phone, the Y usb hdd cable connected to the computer for power and to the manufactured usb otg cable and also to the usb hub.
In dmesg I get something about OTG going into low power mode, but nothing about the usb hub connected or about the usb keyboard connected to the usb hub. Just as connecting the charger.
I do not know if this is fixable. (kernel modules or something).
as a note, I used that Y cable in order to provide power to the USB, as the phone apparenly does not provide any power (if using only the diy otg cable the usb hub does not power).
With the power provided from the computer (the second USB plug on the Y cable has only the power pins connected, not the data pins) the usb hub powers up but it is not recognised by the phone, and the phone starts charging (power flows from the computer tot the USB hub and to the phone) but does nothing else.
hi XDA
I am having some strange behaviour with my USB OTG...
- charges OK
- connect USB OTG cable: phone says "USB host cable connected"
- connect a memory card reader: nothing (used to work previously though)
- connect a mouse: nothing (used to work previously though)
- plug into official Samsung car dock: car dock enabled, but only one stereo channel working (right channel)
- plug into PC: Windows says "unrecognized device"
..... SO
I was thinking: something wrong with my hardware
so I ordered a new USB hardware module on ebay
and I successfully fitted it
...however
...still no change ???
looks like it wasnt a hardware problem after all
USB debugging on or off: no difference
Anyone got the same or similar issues? OTG is a really useful feature for me so I hope I can fix this
Try plugging the card reader or whatever into the OTG cable, then plugging the other end of the OTG cable into the SGS2. That seems to give a much more reliable connection in my experience.

It is not the first time I am trying OTG. This summer I was travelling and posted >100 pictures to my blog. The correct order was: cable first, then memory card reader WITH memory card already inserted... in desperate attempts I tried several other combinations but without luck.
Hi,
Having just tried female to female usb connected to the oem usb cable by samsung, was hoping it will be able to connect and detect a flash or external drive but it did not.
So the question is this, since a usb is universal, would it be because of the oem cable or missing support from the kernel?
Even if power is supplied through, nothing was detected but power and it started to charge.

Good to see that, as it should be handled by the o/s...
USB Host mode?
Seen a youtube video introduced a special usb dongle as an accessory which turns the microusb port into usb host mode and it will allow keyboard and various other devices to be connected.
Seems like it is not a usb host port on its own.
You need a USB cable that supports OTG. You can get one for a few bucks from Amazon. The kernel already supports attaching all kinds of USB devices, so just make sure you have the right cable.
Hi there!
I've got this cable:
Black Color Micro USB 3.0 9Pin OTG Host Flash Disk Cable with USB Power for Samsung Galaxy Note3 N9000
http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00IWEFNQ2/ref=pe_386430_30332290_TE_3p_dp_1
Looks like when I connect battery to OTG, the power goes to external drive only, not to SGP.
I am a bit confused. OTG doesn't let me connect both Passport drive and power battery at the same time.
I never used OTG with power connection before.
Should it work like that or something wrong?..
Hi,
Yes, that is how this OTG w/USB Power works.. as you can see the "USB Power" comes out of the USB Host connection (not the 9Pin Micro USB plug), so therefore the USB power is for powering the USB drive or device you are connecting to the Samsung Device... this is generally used for USB Hard Drives that require extra power to turn them on, etc.
If you wanted to have a USB Drive plugged into your NotePro and also Charge the NotePro you would need something with the USB Power coming from the USB 9Pin connector. I do not believe such a cable exists or is possible... but I could be wrong.
Thanks for clarification, Leighm0. I suspected that...
I have a freeview TV adapter plugged into my note 3. Problem is I can't charge it so I have to stop watching TV and wait until its charged. Can I get anything like a micro USB hub. I've seen a few but they are only regular USB ports and not USB micro which I need for my devices. Thanks in advance.
I have MHL to HDMI adapter which hooks up to TV and to a phone charger (other side goes to phone) so it is possible, but I can't say if usb hub would work, since I have not test it.
You can connect a regular USB hub to your micro usb to usb OTG adapter. I tried connecting both a mouse and a keyboard to the hub and it works fine
USB hub won't allow you to charge the device while they are connected. you can either use MHL to HDMI cable as Pete4k advice and enjoy MHL 2.0 while charging or buy one of those USB OTG adapter reader but where you can connect several peripherals and charge at the same time.
