JB Update - USB OTG Works - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

USB OTG works!! I can see my flash drive in the Settings/Storage, but can't seem to read it using ES File Explorer and my wireless mouse works perfectly. Anybody else try it?
EDIT: Astro File Manager reads all of my flash drives.

omg....they actually listen to us?!
I take it that you are running stock, not rooted or anything?

---

im stock rooted. before my external hard drive would just say "unable to charge device." now it ways that and that the disk is either blank or an unsupported format, so at least it recognizes it.
a usb mouse works fine. there is a cursor once its plugged in. wireless mouse works too.
my wireless keyboard is recognized, and there is even an inpu under select input, but nothing happens.

I've played some games with a USB controller. For some reason it won't power my wired Xbox 360 controller though. OTG is what I've really been waiting for. Hopefully I can use USB host and mhl at the same time with the adapter. Big screen gaming baby!

To read a USB on es file explorer go to root then storage and USB is in there. I already tried it and android by default doesn't support NTFS it needs to be added by a dev

I can confirm this also and it does work. The only problem i have is when removing the flash drive. If i do as we're suppose to and go to settings>storage> and scroll all the way to the bottom and select "unmount usb storage" before disconnecting, it also unmounts my sdcard and i have to manually select "mount usb storage". Anyone know why it unmounts both??? I am running the newest jb rom, it's rooted stock rom with s-on and a custom recovery and backup. Not a big deal, just wondering if anyone else noticed this or is everyone else just removing the drive and hoping not to damage the drive or a file on it or even possibly their evolte????

I have tried using a USB controller and I get "Can not charge device" it is a wired Logitech controller. (A old model).
EDIT: Completely Stock Not Rooted my Logitech Mouse (wireless) worked fine.

I would like to confirm that PS3 controller DOES NOT WORK with JB with OTG setup on a stock device.

Has anyone tried using a USB splitter and connecting to devices at the same time, for a example a keyboard and a mouse working at the same time

I know this is an old thread, but I'm wondering if anyone has been able to successfully use a wired xbox controller. I've been using an OTG cable with the external power connector (although I haven't had to actually use external power for anything I've tried so far). I was able to get wired and wireless mice, wired/sireless keyboards, and fat32 and ntfs flash drives to work. I also connected a keyboard, mouse, and flash drive all at once using a usb hub and they all worked fine. The only think I haven't been able to get to work is my xbox controller. With or without power, when plugged in, it just flashes once every several seconds while plugged in. Nothing seems to recognize it.
This is the only thread that came up in the General Forum for the LTEvo that mentions xbox controllers... Anyone have any ideas?
I'm running Viper4G 3.1.5 with S-Off.
