[Q] Does Vibrant support OTG cable external devices - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I found a program on xda to control Nikon DSLR. It work using a OTG cable, so bought the cable. But the phone doesn't recognize either the flash drive or camera. I did some research and it says that Vibrant usb port doesn't have any output power.
So my question is can OTG work on Samsung vibrant.
Thanks for all the answers

Maybe if you install a custom kernel, but there is no power output so you will have to use a Y cable one side to plug in the device and other to provide power.
My Nexus can output power with custom kernel and using Stick Mount to mount flash drives.

Thanks for your reply. Let me try with a custom kernel.

[Q] How to USB boot PC using S2 as USB stick ?

This is about booting a USB connected PC from the 'external SD' on the S2 which I use as an USB stick.
A weird question, but I have my Galaxy always with me. My previous phone a Nokia 5800 I could use as a boot USB stick to boot a PC. With the S2 this trick does not work as when I connect it to the PC and set it into USB mass storage mode (the Android figure turns from green orange) it resets to green when the computer actually reboots. USB debugging is turned ON.
Is there a trick to keep the S2 in mass storage mode while connected to a rebooting PC ?
I would like to know if this is possible too. Have you had any progress on this?
Thanks.

If you have root and CWM recovery, you could "mount" the drive/partition whilst in recovery and connected to PC.

Just a thought (and I'm not sure if this would even work or not), but would an OTG USB cable possibly achieve this given the OTG allows you to connect the SGS2 as a "slave" to a laptop/PC as per this guy's post ? I saw this post/thread in the Accessories section & remembered this thread from earlier today.

[Q] Connecting the USB OTG HELP

COnnecting the Pendrive via USB OTG works only with the rooted devices ..is that true?
is there anyone who tried on the stock firmwere of galaxy s3
Coz i'm planning to buy a USB OTG
Yes, USB On-The-Go works for the Galaxy S III with stock firmware, I believe it should work for most Android 3.1+ devices with supported hardware.
unrooted phone can detect flash drive with ONLY fomatted to FAT32, it can't detect exFAT and NTFS. you need to flash custom kernel to make it detect

[Q] usb OTG

I was a little bit disappointed to find out that when I plugged my canon eos dslr into this phone via otg it said "device not supported". After a little reading it looks as though HTCs bootloader does not support otg without a power adapter. Anyone know of a kernel/rom/mod that will open up this feature?
Thx.

USB OTG Drive not recognized in TWRP

Hi, I've got a Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300)
I've flashed it with the following:
TWRP Recovery (2.8.1.0)
CyanogenMod 11
In CyanogenMod, it recognizes my USB OTG Flash Drive when I plug it in, but in TWRP, it does not. I've tried to mount it, but it doesn't see it at all.
I've seen videos of TWRP and USB OTG working, but mine doesn't. The main reason I bought this Flash Drive was to flash ROMS off of it.
Any Ideas?
