Just recently purchased an OTG cable and know the simple things like connecting a mouse, keyboard or thumb drive. But wanted to see what others are doing with them.
What do you use yours for?

I use it to connect a usb bar code scanner to take inventory of the phone serial numbers at my store.

That's really nifty I'll have to test it out at work.
Anything other uses for OTG cables ?

External usb mouse, a keyboard, any usb stick or hard drive/card reader...but the killer app for me pairs the note with my Canon DSLR...
Check DSLR Contoller (Beta) in the Play Store

Has anyone tried connecting two phones together with the OTG? Can you just share their storage, or what happens?

I have a macbook pro too. I just use Kies and use its built in file manager. It will automatically mount your sdcard and internal.

You need to use PTP instead of MTP.

very true, i just had my new cable that came with my gs3 unopened had to open it and it worked lol =D
People should learn ADB, it will help you in the long run with other things besides file transfering
I'm waiting for kies to support Mountain Lion. meanwhile I'm using Android File Transfer.
I use android file transfer it works very well. However make sure you choose camera connection and not MTP or it won't work.

I was wondering if it would be possible to connect 2or more android devices together to each other using USB otg. I have tried stick mount and it does not work. Any other applications? Or just not possible?

What about Bluetooth?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2
You can do that using wifi hot spot functionality..
we all should be polite enough to press thanks for anyone who helped US.
I agree with wifi solution and there should be application for this, e.g. "Anypush" to share picture, music and files.
I know about blue tooth and WiFi but what I was wondering was device wired directly to another
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I just purchased the wired version of wired version of the GameKlip to use with my HTC Droid DNA. It's not rooted, but their site said the PS3 controller works through an otg cable, which is included with the gameklip. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get it to work. I've seen conflicting reports with some people saying it works for them, orther say it doesn't.
When i connect the controller to my phone via the cable, my phone gives me a notification that says, "Unable to charge device. Please use the supported charger." On the controller, all 4 "player indicator" lights blink as if it's charging. Supposedly a white cursor box should show up and I should be able to manipulate it with the left analog stick. This does not happen.
Has anyone gotten it to work or have any suggestions for getting it to work?
-Thanks
I have a HTC DNA and just got the GameKlip also. Im having the same problem. Anyone know a solution?
Nope hoping for a custom Rom that supports sixaxis I love my phone but not being able to connect my ps3 controler is such a downer.

You can try to install DSB's Bluetooth mod from the original android development thread it might help
Na it don't work I've installed it no luck he said he didn't have a controller to test it :'( this is all my phones missing

So you can't use sixaxis app with stock rooted rom?? Was just about to root for that reason only, but if it doesn't work, I'll wait.

Good luck the Bluetooth stack on DNA lacks a lot of support.
I have slowly been trying to figure what I need to port in order for it to work but no clear answer yet
Cyanogenmod would work if and only if who ever makes it for are rom has to use blues and a proprierty stack instead of HTC.
Its all in the kernel ask one of the kernel maker's to add this in as it would allow proper sixaxis support and Bluetooth headset too.
If it was only a Bluetooth problem, you'd think it would still work with a hardwire connection like it does on nearly every other Android. Xbox controllers would work too.

Cm 10.1 rom now supports pairing ps3 controller with six axis app!

He said he paired it so I assume it was over bluetooth. CM uses its own bluetooth implementation(I think) so try it out. CM brought life into this phone, HTC made it a joke honestly.
I have the gameklip with the included otg cable
must be on flyhalfs cm 10.1 Rom
Steps I took
Bring up the sixaxis app
plug in the cables and hit pair
Once that's done unplug the cable
You only have to pair it once
Hit start then the ps button on the controller
Change ime to sixaxis
Done
I have some touch emulation profiles I made for.some games like modern combat 4 and nova 3
Nova 3 would force close on the first level
Modern combat works fine
I switched back to nos m7 Rom tho until.camera.and battery life get fined tuned on cm 10.1

PAC uses CM as the tree so whatever works in CM will work in PAC.
I have tested it on pac and it definitely works.

me either ):
I haven't had my galaxy nexus or htc droid be found by my ps3, I think it might be a jellybean thing, especially since they don't have sd cards, and Windows sees then as mtp devices.
Last night I downloaded a dlna server app, worked pretty good for me. Watched pictures and videos from our ski trip.
The app "media server" worked well for me.

Let me know if this works.
In the meantime, the DROID DNA supports the wireless N standard, so if you have a wireless router supporting wireless N, it should increase your transfer rate.
The PS3's wireless adapter doesn't support wireless N or newer standards, so I suggest connecting the PS3 via ethernet port if possible. This should greatly improve local streaming speed.

I'd like to know if the One is compatible with the Media Link HD? And if so, how is the performance and set up? I was hearing a few things about setup being a pain but that was for the other One variants.
Has anyone used Android for PowerPoint presentations? Perhaps on Google Drive or any other third party application?

Yeah, it has a microUSB connection to plug into your phone's microUSB port and the other end has a HDMI port to be plugged in from your TV. (There's also a side port where you have to plug in the phones charger.) I can post pictures if need be. It completely mirrors your phones screen vs just media.

What I liked about the media link was that I could use it wirelessly so that if I were to use my phone for maybe a PowerPoint presentation then I wouldn't have a cable attached

Valid point. I do know for a fact that the One is Media Link compatible. I wasn't sure if you were in possession of one or not which is why I mentioned the cheaper option.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
I actually don't have one in my possession and was looking to buy one but after seeing some reviews I'd like to look into it some more before being so committed to buying one.
Hi all, here in the Netherlands you get the medialink hd for free when you preordered the One before the end of april.
I used it and it works perfectly .
