I'm planning to buy the 6 inch N9776 android phone soon and I need to know if it's possible to use an external usb keyboard or game controller with it if I get a usb otg cable. I've done a search but could not find an answer. Does anyone know? Thanks in advance.
3 days later and no responses.
I went ahead and ordered it, so maybe in a month or so I'll be able to report back the answer to my question. But I certainly won't be upset if someone gives some feedback.

Hi guys, wonder can anyone help me. I purchased a dock for the G Tablet from a company in Chine a few months ago. I only got round to trying it out recently and the results where not good.
The dock charges the G Tablet when the PSU is connected to it, but that is all that it does. The USB port does not work, the pens light up but the G Tab does not see them.
The network port does not do any thing when a cable is plugged in.
The HDMI also does not do anything.
I have tried it with several different versions of Android including the T&T that was on the G Tab originally.
Am I missing something ? Do I need to install certain software of certain Abroid version ?.
It wouldn't usually bother me but the dock cost me over £35 and I do not want to purchase another until I am sure this one does not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS Keep up the great work, I love this site and have tried almost every new OS that has been put on it
No specific software should have to be installed. It's supposed to just work, so I'm thinking that it's bad hardware.

it2Steve did a very detailed review of this dock. The thread has been around for almost a year and has a lot of information if you take some time to read up on it.
Dock review
So, I bought my son a cheap little 7" Android Tablet for his 7th birthday from Amazon. He loves my Skyrocket and Thrill, so I figured he would enjoy it. Got it today and was thinking of rooting it. It seems pretty much unbranded. Here is the issue- It does not hook directly to the pc as our phones do. It has a hub adapter that plugs into it that has 2 usb ports and 1 ethernet port. Will getting a double female usb cord work? If not, are there any on device rooting solutions out there anymore? Here are a few of the specs-
A8 Processor @800MHz
Android Version- 2.3.3
No Baseband
Kernel Version-2.6.35.7-infoTM
Build Number-GRI40
Model Number-m7206 v2.2
Thanks guys. I am not looking for anyone to walk me through this, just a nudge in the right direction. Google has not gotten me anywhere, mainly because of the lack of interface to the pc. Otherwise, I would already have given it a go with Superoneclick just to test it. Again, thanks guys.
Additionally, this Tablet DOES have the actual Android Market on it. Already downloaded quite a few app just to make sure. I downloaded Titanium Backup just to assure myself. Of course without root, it did me no good. More for confirmation than anything.
It appears as if my post was somewhat premature. Gingerbreak has got me done up right. Generic Tablet-$72.00. Rooted-Priceless.
Hi ,
My galaxy S2 is have a problem .... whenever i connect it to a power out / computer the power supply starts fluctuating because of which i cannot use my usb port on my phone to charge so i take out the batter and charge it with an external charger.
Is there any way i can root my phone without connecting it to my computer ?
And one more thing is there anyway i can get my USB port to work ?
I bought this phone when i was in USA but after i shifted back to India this problem started occurring.
The service center people cannot repair or replace it as its the USA version and not the International version.Some parts of International version are not compatible with this US version according to the service center guys.They also said that its IC is short circuited but i think when IC is short circuited the phone does not give display but its working all fine.
Please help me with these 2 things -
1.Rooting my phone without connecting to PC
2.Getting my phones USB port back to work
I'm guessing your USB port has a problem check out this thread
in my case the phones not charging.....
The phone reboots when the charger is connected
The answer to your question is no. Unless I've completely overlooked something.
You will need a good usb port to be able to root the phone. There have been a couple of people who have reported that they successfully replaced their own usb port, and say it is relatively simple to do. It may take a while to get a replacement port, but since the part is small, shipping to India should not be prohibitive. Replacing your own usb port seems to be the only practical fix for your problem.

where can i find a working USB port ?
Google it. Not being rude but damn...
If you have a question about when the next CD by your favorite artist comes out, you google it right? When you need to know where to find which site has the best price on that CD you google it, right?
Use that same logic here. You need a part, google it.
Also, eBay has been known to have items people want to sell that anyone can bid on. Knowing you need it shipped overseas, it would be good to make sure the seller will ship it to your location before buying it.
(Searching these forums will present you with the answer as to which part you need to look for)

Hi guys,
I am a long time reader of this forum because i can find almost all of the answers to my gadget questions. And then decided to take on and register just because I am now frustrated and can't do anything about my ASUS K004 ME371MG Fonepad not detecting a generic USB controller/gamepad (although the analog indicator lights up when switched on).
The controller is a PS2-like controller with USB port-end, and I am using it through an OTG cable. Flashdrives, Mice and Keyboards are working smoothly on my device. Also, I let my friend try this contoller/gamepad on his device (Samsung Galaxy Note) and it is working.
Please help me on this one. Thanks in advance! =)
EDIT: My device is not yet rooted.

Hi All,
I have a U25GT-C4W running Android 4.4.2 KitKat. I have managed to root the tablet.
The tablet has a separate charging DC 5V in jack as well as a USB Micro OTG connector. It connects to PC fine and I am able to detect it through adb.
It is also able to detect OTG devices connected to it such as a Keyboard, Mouse and a USB Stick/Flash Drive.
Out of all the China tablet clones that I have tested, this one has a peculiar behavior. See picture attached to understand this behavior.
If I connect DC 5V plug to tablet, tablet starts charging.
Then when I connect a USB Mouse, the tablet STOPS charging after 5 seconds (Not normal behavior).
Then when I remove the USB Mouse, tablet starts charging again (after 10 seconds).
I have tested other tablets with separate DC 5V jack and they do not show this behavior. This is not normal.
Tablets I have tested:
ValuePad VP112
King's Hong Kong H704A
When these above tablets are charging with DC 5V, and then I connect USB Mouse, these tablets do not stop charging like the Cube U25GT is doing.
Has anyone else experienced this type of issue? Has anyone solved it? Are there any custom kernels/system that I could use for this to solve the problem? I don't usually post questions on the forum because I usually find the answers I need after searching for a while, but this has been a baffling situation.
Hopefully someone will answer. Let me know if you have any questions about my issue.
Thanks.
hulp us please
I have the same tablet, and have same problem.
I need to solve this problem, because its important for me.
i use this tablet as a part of multimedia system in my car.
so i cant plug any device via otg to tablet
Please help us...
Sorry for my bad English
Go for another tablet.
Hi,
The short version is: No. I couldn't solve the problem.
I spent about 2 to 3 weeks trying to solve this issue. I started from garnering information on kernel sources for the MTK tablets (the SoC which the Cube tablet is based on), trying to find the source code for it, compiling it and flashing it to the tablet. I tried contacting the people at cube-tablet.com. I spent a lot of time explaining them the problem hoping they would give me some indication as to why this was not working. I spent a lot of time contacting people in various forums who had some exposure to the Cube tablet. But that proved fruitless as well.
In the end, I just gave up. We just experimented with a various other tablets and settled with one that charged as well as worked with OTG.
Thanks.

Thanks a lot for your answer wickedmask.
It was disappointing for me. The whole project was built on this tablet by me.
You can see from the photos below:
There's an interesting variable in build.prop:
# USB Charge only function
ro.sys.usb.charging.only=yes
Have you tried to change it to "no"?
