Device to device sharing - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

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

[Q] Things to do with an OTG cable

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?

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?

Did you mean the F-keys? Fine by me if only that "shortcuts" won't work. Have you tested it and did work?
I'm currently have one for my S3, Nexus 7 and iPad. Yes, only F shortcuts doesn't work. Also I am still trying to figuring out how the tab key works in Android.

[Q] Any suggestions for pairing PS3 controller with DNA?

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.

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.

[Q] KIES over USB

Has anyone figured out how to get KIES to wrok over USB? KIES does not recognize my device. I have tried intalling the drivers, changing cables, and changing ports. I noticed in device manager my phone is there but under other devices I get "Contracted SmartCard" with a question mark. I am using VISTA on PC, ROM is Beans Town V6. Any Help will be appreciated!!!
Yeah metoo. I try to connect my hone to kies as well it doesnt work. Ive heard its specifically verizon note 2s. other variants do work. i would love to know a way to connect if there is
Connected Now BUT
I am able to connect to KIES by USB now but it tells me that my device is not supported which desn't make sense since the Note 2 is a pretty new device..... Does anyone have a solution to force it to work or am I at the mercy of Samsung to support the device?????
The latest thing I have read says us model note 2s are not supported. Can anyone confirm?

I was able to get it to work through the usb cable, but not over wifi. With wifi, I keep getting the sim card error.

Thats weird. I cannot get it to recognize my device over usb but have it working over air.

I have contacted samsung, verizon actually blocked it so you are forced to use the backup assistant instead

That should have just been an automatic assumption at this point. Ridiculous.

I wonder why they would block it? Bastards!!!
