I have an otg cable I used to use on my motorola Xoom.. does the VZ note 2 support usb host?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
Yes it does
I cant seem to get it working. When I plug a flash drive nothing happens.. do i need to enable it? Do I need to use a different kernel?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
It's probably the cable you're using. There are 5 pin and 8 pin OTG cables. I'm guessing you have the 5 pin that works on Moto devices and not on Sammy devices.
I got my $1.98 OTG off eBay and it works fine.
Does it have to be 8 pin? Found what appears to be a 5pin on amazon that works with the s3.. should this work?

Yes.
Sent from my ARCHOS 101G9 using Tapatalk 2
Just a word of warning if you do use it. The port does move in and out about a centimeter , designed to let the 3G dongle get a better signal. It appears the ribbon cable that attaches the USB port to the board is not designed very well from all that moving and eventually will crack the wires making the port useless.
Is this feature enabled on all US s3s?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Not sure about US variants, but in case anyone else is wondering: it works flawlessly on the Rogers ones (tested on both blue 32gb and white 16gb). It should be the same on the others too I think, since they're similar enough.

Awesome! Any particular connecter that works better than others for you? I've seen a few inexpensive ones (1-3$). Didn't know if it was a "get what you pay for" kind of deal or they're all pretty much the same.

USB OTG works on the AT&T variant as well.

Yeah, USB OTG is working fine here on my ATT S3. Tested it a few days ago with a $1 cheapo usbotg cable from ebay + 32GB usb3 flash drive.
Works on T-Mobile
Works fine on a sprint 16GB. First plugged in wireless mouse, keyboard, 640GB hard drive, ps3 controller (use with sixaxis controller over Bluetooth now) all working. Plugged in an epson printer and it notified me that I plugged a printer in.. but then proceeded to tell me that the only printer supported is a samsung printer. We need a workaround for this

No we don't. In the rare event that you want to print from your phone, check out the "cloud print" app - works with any network shared printer.

I have the verizon phone, and it will work just fine with a usb flash drive, but I cant get a dualshock 3 ps3 controller to work via cable.

Likely power, try with a hub maybe? My spinning disk usb hard drive doesn't work either, but makes a clicking sound. I recon there is a limit to the current the phone can supply.

Yea I've tried with the hub but still none of my files show up in the "My Files" app or a 3rd party file explorer. Shows a mass storage device is connected in notification bar and the HDD LED light is even on.

Try navigating to /mnt/ folder in the file explorer. That is where usb drivers will show.

Have you tried stickmount?
Yes I have. I tried stickmount and a few others. Still no dice. I guess it could be a bad otg cable. I have tried several usb drives and still the same result my DNA. But what's puzzling is the fact that it works on my gnex

"unable to charge device""please use the supported charger"
is a normal error message, even with a stock rom
I get the message when I plug my OTG cable in with no USB device attached, but as soon as I plug my USB stick in, it mounts it.
This is using a rooted stock ROM. Cable works in TWRP and in Android.

search amazon for charge only micro usb, bazillions.
Thanks ! Actually I did it but I only found the "Portapow" model said not to be compatible with the Note 2. So I guess this would be the same for the Note 3.
Sent from my SM-N9005 with Tapatalk
I found that trick. From what I understand you have to cut and solder the green and white wires initially used for data.
Does anyone know if it is safe for the phone and computer (or the house when connected to the wall outlet) ??
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_n...+m,aps&rh=i:aps,k:charge only micro usb cable
I only found one in the list that ship to France. He is the one mentioning the cable is not compatible with the Note 2. I guess that's only about the fast charging feature. ..
Thanks for your help ! I just ordered one. I'll soon know if it rocks.

If you use the adapters for the Galaxy Tablet then any cable becomes a no-data high current charging cable.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/190677630730?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Using this I get 1800mA charging for my N3 (and no data).
iGO cable is your choice, but it's rather expensive (and you have to buy micro USB plug). The cable is NOT data capable.
Thanks for the trick Craig ! This is an interesting solution easier to carry in a bag and when needed data are avaliable.

To be able to fast-charge from a PC USB port without having a custom kernel that allows it. The note 3 is capped at 450mA on USB.

In case you've forgot the power block for the wall outlet when visiting some of your customers, you may have to connect to someone computer to refill. For security reason it's better to avoid spreading some data of one of your customer to the network of another one.
Same story when you are using the USB of a computer connected to an unknown network: all the content of your phone can be used (personal and professional) and I guess you may get some viruses that will be happy to contaminate other computers when you'll connect your phone to their USB.
A no data cable is a physical protection.

Some of the newer USB 3.0 hubs, e.g. the 10 port from Anker provide a charge only connection (2.1 A). The 9 remaining are data and power (0.9 A each)

You have to have USB 3.0 and the correct drivers on your computer.
Here is why there will likely not be any USB 3.0 accessories that actually work..
The Note 3 is not capable of hosting 3.0. It would require more power to legitimately host a USB 3.0 device. Not only that, the hardware is just not capable nor are there any drivers for it in Android.
It can read and write at high speeds from a computer because the computer hosts the drivers and has the correct drivers. Only if it has USB 3.0.
Any accessories you see that say 3.0 (like OTG cables) are not really 3.0. Especially if they are not manufactured by Samsung.

Has anyone tried Zerolemon USB 3? Is it good?
