Xperia P USB OTG - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hi
which USB OTG cable are you using with Xperia P , I tried Nokia's cable with no luck
Is there any official Sony cable I can buy
EDIT: It turns around that Nokia's USB OTG cable works with Xperia P , but not with all USB devices

WHAT???!!! , So the problem from me or the phone ??
Do I have to do something else or just plug the OTG cable then plug the USB flash ??

1st connect a usb keyboard for mouse to see if it's working...ohh 1 thing you must insert the usb object you want to plug in, in the OTG cable 1st then to the phones USB port....if I don't do it then OTG does not work in my XP...

OK I did what you said exactly , tried two USB flash , well one of them gave me power Consumption error , and the other one didn't work
Will try more and update.
Thanks

OMG MAGIC
It Actually works , however not all USB devices work , I tried three USB flashs only one of them worked , I also tried a mouse and it worked too :laugh:
Thanks noim for helping me :good:

Well all devices will not work.. Some flash devices require more power.so the phone does not allow high power consumption devices to work since it will drain ur battery..
Well its nice to know my trick (i would not call it a trick tho) worked.... Always happy to help...

Root has nothing to usb-otg... Root give you ability to run special app to take control of device connected with usb-otg...

Hello everyone.
I have Xperia P (not rooted) and today got the OTG cable and tried it with transcend pen drive (16gb) but it gave error "High USB power counsumption. Please remove the device"
The same cable and pen drive works fine with my friend's Xperia S.
Please help me to get this issue fixed.

gr8... actually i have one but my OTG is not working so hoping cable is faulty...
BTW I am on EU leak currently..
I'm wondering too. Don't have a cable yet, but no sense in buying one if it doesn't work.
It won't work only with OTG cable.
You need a HUB (generic USB 2.0 hub) plus a cable between the OTG and HUB that powers both the HUB and the Phone externally.

Maybe this thread helps you more as it is the original one specific to OTG cabling on GB which should work also on ICS (It would be nice if anyone could confirm this).

On the 1st post find direct link to the findings.
Have a look around or ask something if you need.
I received my OTG cable today. As has been stated previously, it works but only when run through a powered hub.

Yes, it seems that this is the only way to do it.
I´m waiting for my OTG cable too. Mouse and keyboard in my phone !!

PC Won't Recognize X10 Mini Pro (not mine,my mums :D)

So,one day I thought it would be a great idea to root,unlock the bootloader,and install MiniCM7 on my mother's phone.I tried to connect her phone via usb to my PC.Nothin'.I tried to connect it to her laptop.Nothin' again.Tried tricks that I found on the net such as putting it in silent mode or using one of the Sony Ericsson ringtones.NOT CONNECTED AGAIN!Tried to even put out the sim card and then in again.I have tried connecting the phone with 3 PCs in which MY white X10 Mini Pro has been connected and working like a charm thousands of times...Please,I really need to find a solution.Hopefully,the usb didn't stop working while I was on any of these steps,it stopped before I could do anything.
As mentioned before,my U20 works with any of these 3 PCs while hers doesn't work with none!
HELP!
Hey man, does it charge? If not then try the USB cable from your MP and see if it works (my entire phone problem was a dead cable) otherwise it could be the USB port D:

Hi,sorry for the late response but I already have tried it and it only charges 5 seconds after I plug it to the PC.Tried with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit,Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit,Windows XP Professional 32-bit.
I think it's a software's (but unfixable) problem.If it's turned on,it sometimes may not charge.Turn it off and plug the cable in and suddenly it will start charging.Leave it for a night and the battery will be really hot and completely empty.I don't know... btw thx for the reply
Hmm weird. Either the USB or the cable. All my friends with the MP have stock and I've got ICS I reckon your mum can survive haha

Hey, i have a similar problem... I can connect my x10 mp, on office pc fine, but with same cable and no setting changed, my laptop won't recognize the phone (USB port is fine).
Though its not really a hassle, I use Airdroid at home now, so really no reason to connect with cable. But it was connecting fine on stock, only started happening after i flashed MiniCM7. Oh yes, if it matters, i did the flashing process on office PC :S

Well....I can't root it because z4root doesn't work for 2.1.1.A.0.6 and USB won't be connected anyways,thanks for the reply
Try to root with superoneclick... Mine is the same baseband as your moms, and I'm rooted right now
I remember someone poost the superoneclick link somewhere... Maybe you could search it...
And, again, are you sure its not your usb cable / usb phone port that doesn't work well ?
Last question, does this problem comes after you installing CM7, or does this problem come from the beginning (and you're unable to bootloader unlock it as the result) ?

It can only charge using USB!It can't connect to ADB mode (debugging) or USB transfer mode.This problem comes from the beginning.I dunno if it's a usb port (phone) problem.Mine charges + usb but hers only charges.same usb cable,same usb ports.Hers has Android 1.6 and I updated it to 2.1.1.A.0.6 and my phone came with the 2.1.1.A.0.6 already
If you updated it to 2.1 surely it worked at some point though?

[Q] USB device not recognized

When I plug in my s3 to my computer (windows 7 ultimate) it just says USB device not recognized.
I've tried to uninstall all samsung usb mobile drivers and reinstalled them again.
Any advice?
Try another USB cable? The Samsung one I got with the GS3 does this to me a lot now (so I just keep it in the charger since it works for that) but my Sony Ericsson one works fine

hook razr directly to hard drive.....find me a cable

Is it possible to find Micro-USB A to USB 2.0 B-Type....For people wondering what that is...imagine pluging usb cable into printer (that's type B same as ext drive) and the micro usb A is the other end to go into phone...Would it even work?
Well, on my phone I had to use a power supply, an USB Y cable, and an OTG cable, do some cable modification and with that I`m now able to connect my mouse and keyboard.
I tried connecting an USB flash drive but it sadly didn`t work.
EDIT: I got my flash drive to work using the APP USB Host Controller.
So... if you use an external power supply and an OTG cable i think it would be possible.
