Does your adapter allow for power to be supplied to the device? What type of USB peripheral are you trying to connect?
There's a lot of OTG related information available in this thread.
ramjet73
I think that you need to have external power source. I tried with only OTG adapter but it havent worked. But when i connected external power source (USB) It worked like a charm.
No power supply,its a simple otg cable and what I'm trying to connect is simple 2gig flash drive. And I think I looked through that thread. So you think I need to modify my cable ,is it the only way?

You have to supply power either from a powered USB hub or an OTG adapter like this one that allows you to use your HTC charger in order to use flash drives and portable hard drives, or any other USB peripheral that requires power.

Well with the power supply it looses its portability. :/
Guess I will have to solder an otg cable with attached battery to it ,or even put it all in a little box so there isn't wires everywhere.Cause I saw a video on youtube with a guy who had attached another HTC battery to the adapter.
So basically its explained as EVO doesn't give out enough power to run the device?

Today, a friend asked if I had an extra laptop. He needed one for his 10 year old son.
While rummaging through my closet (you know, the one with all the old computers, shotguns, and half empty Jack Daniels bottles) when I found one of these.
Two Pics … http://db.tt/GY4wfof6 and http://db.tt/rzkodoMi
Now, I have no idea as to how, where or when I got this. I had to search the net to even know what it was.
Ebay link … http://www.ebay.com/itm/230328510631?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2648
Continuing my search of the closet I also found a 2.5 inch 160 gig IDE hard drive. Assembled the two and I now have a portable battery powered drive that works great with my Flyer.
That looks kinda old school. =)
So you connect to the flyer via bluetooth or microUSB?
It connects with microUSB.
Now that I’ve had a chance to use it a while I’ve found I can set its switch to PC or DC.
When set to PC I just plug it in to my Flyer and can copy files both ways.
When set to DC it will function as a standalone unit (because it has its own battery power). I can plug thumb drives and USB sdcard adaptors into it to move files both ways.
It will even plug into my camera and copy the pictures.
Kind of handy as the Flyer doesn’t supply power at its microUSB port to spin a hard drive.
It’s not what I call well built but seems to work.
At least it does the job! I didn't know we could use OTG harddrive for the flyer...
That's very cool. Vastly increases the number of movies I could take with me on a long trip!
ARRR
Ok so spent about £40 on one of these and it doesn't work with my Flyer(32GB WiFi 3G). Flyer is not rooted and running the latest official version of HC. I have tried both DC and PC but device still does not detect the OTG drive. My samsung mobile finds the device fine.
Are you using a standard micro usb cable ??

Yes using a standard micro usb cable
Try this ... Shut down your Flyer (make sure Fast Boot is unchecked in settings) then turn on your drive in DC mode and restart your Flyer.
Your Flyer should find it then and will work from then on.
Using your file explorer of choice you should see a new folder called USB
Hi, tried this but still no go. Ran a USB host and USB OGB diganostics app which still fail to detect the device. The drive works with my camera/Samsung phone and brothers PSP. May have to fork out for WIFI drive.
Still no go with the OTG device. Tried with a friends Flyer and same results. I am going to try this device, is fairly cheap.

I have an OTG cable from my samsung but this did not work. what OTG cable are you using? I gather you are connecting the USB device into the OTG cable via a powered hub?
Got it working but it's a hackjob, was going to root but having to downgrade then upgrade again was a pain and was not guaranteed to work. Tried running the OTG cable into a powered hub but for what ever reason would always come up USB device not recognised when plugging in any memory device. Tried 3 USB hubs with the same result. Ended up cutting up an OTG cable and a few other USB cables so I could provide power to the device and then power to the tablet as well. For whatever reason i need to provide power to he memory stick before plugging into tablet. I have tested 4 different memory pens and 1 external harddrive and they all work.
I just bought a generic OTG cable, its about 6 inches long. I think it may have come from HP. I have used both a powered hub and a y-usb hard drive cable and both worked for me.
You have to have power on the device before you plug it onto the FLyer so that on connect the Flyer software knows what type of device it is and can load the driver. Otherwise the Flyer will label it unknown and disable the device.
Managed to get USB on the go to work on my Jetstream. See the following post. as the flyer very similar, should work for flyer too.

Thanks to a recent video by reverendkjr on Youtube, we now have a confirmed USB OTG method for CM9.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nc7tlPwFQpg
This has lots of potential and since I did not see much talk about it here, I decided to create a thread with what you need to buy listed in reverendkjr's video and what works. I would recommend only buying from Amazon Fulfilled sellers as they are backed by Amazon's return policy. All 3 items only cost a little over $10.
OTG Cable:

2AA Battery Powered Portable USB Power Supply:

OTG Cable With Female MicroUSB (Allows you to use any microUSB charger as the power supply)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/130740524313?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
OTG Cable With Male Full Size USB (Allows you to use any power supply with regular USB port)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Micro-USB-H...i9100-S3-i9300-i9220-i9250-XOOM-/140825132367
You can use whatever source of USB power you want including a wall charger, but I bought the 2AA battery powered supply above and can confirm it works.
Compatibility List:
-Multiple USB devices will work if you use a USB hub. A non-powered one works fine for me since you will already have a separate power source.
-USB keyboards and mice work fine including all basic functions like scroll wheel on the mouse, num and caps lock on the keyboard.
-FAT32 formatted flash drives will mount by default under "/mnt/usbdisk".
(Added September 7th)
-If you want to mount NTFS drives or multiple flash drives, download Drive Mount. This software will mount drives under "/mnt/sda1", "/mnt/sdb1", etc. I can confirm it works for multiple drives and NTFS/FAT32. It was removed from Google Play so the apk has been posted. If anybody has had success with other NTFS mounting software please post your results.
(Added April 6th)
-I tried a Rosewill USB SATA/IDE externally powered hard drive reader and was able to mount a 400GB SATA 3.5" HDD using Drive Mount. Just to see what would happen I tried a SATA DVD drive but Android doesn't recognize it and probably doesn't even support the CD/DVD file system.
(Added April 7th)
-USB card readers will work, but I've had mixed results.
USB Device Info:
If you want to diagnose items and see some info about what the Touchpad is detecting, download USB Device Info free from Google Play. Everything shows up under the Linux tab. This shows some useful info about devices including current draw, device identification, etc. I tested it with a USB hub and a few flash drives and it successfully showed entries for the hub and the flash drives. It wont tell you if Android has drivers for the device, but merely IDs the device(s) confirming the connection if working.
(Added Dec 9th)
A plugged in USB OTG adapter will show up as "Qualcomm On-Chip EHCI Host Controller" under the Linux tab regardless of whether or not power is present. This is a good way to see if you have a working OTG adapter.
Flash Drive Unmounting Issues:
Flash drives are called an SD Card when mounted. There is no option to unmount a flash drive unless you use Drive Mount, so if you notice SD card removal error messages they are referring to your flash drive and not the Touchpad's internal memory partition that is mounted as /sdcard.
When a flash drive is removed or powered off without being unmounted, its common to get a "android.process.media" force close, just tap OK.
Charging:
You will not be able to charge via micro USB while using OTG even if your power source has enough current. You can charge via the Touchstone just fine. Knowing this, you can set up a really nice docking station by using the Touchstone as a stand/charger and then using the microUSB slot for peripherals like a USB keyboard and mouse connected to a hub with spare ports for flash drives, etc.
(Added September 7th)
Insufficient Available Bus Power Fix:
If you get this error, I haven't yet, some users have had success using this app posted on Rootzwiki.
I didn't feel like buying anything and already had some things laying around so I modified an Adafruit MintyBoost to accept a device via usb, add power, and continue on down the line...
Really all I did was solder a usb cable onto the female USB port on the MintyBoost, drill a hole on the other side of the tin and feed it out. The card reader conveniently fits inside of the mint tin so it's a pretty compact package.
The only down side I've noticed is that it also charges the TouchPad (the batteries will die quicker) and continues to send power to the card reader after the OTG cable has been unplugged from the TouchPad.
Excuse the crappy pic. I really don't feel like taking a better one.
I could never get the OTG cable to charge the Touchpad, I always thought when the Touchpad sensed OTG (grounding on pin 4) it refused to take power. You can disconnect the +5v Vcc to the Touchpad (red wire) on your OTG cable and OTG devices will still work.

I came to the same conclusion some days ago ,touch pad can't be charged using org cable,needs a regular micro USB cable and the barrel AC charger.I did many tests but having otg devices working and really charge at the same time its not possible,it seems like charging but its not.

If its provides its own 5v power it would likely work, but I don't really see anywhere for an external power connection and it looks too small to house a battery.

For whatever reason, when I tried that the card reader wouldn't initialize. Once I connected the +5v from the OTG it'd light right up...
After it lit up I could disconnect the +5v and it'd stop the "charging" notification on the touchpad and keep working.

Then it should work fine as the Touchpad uses a standard OTG pinout, it just doesn't provide power so if it has a way to provide power to devices than I see no reason why it wouldn't work.
quick question that i didn't see answered above :S can i use the otg cable adapter without another power source (like can touchpad power it?)? Saw it asked above but didn't see anyone saying that the power source is required :S
kind of want to plug a usb flash drive into touchpad so I can type documents when I'm on the go and switch to computer. don't want to carry another power source either :S

No, the Touchpad doesn't provide any power for OTG devices which is why you need to supply it power. The cheap USB charger I linked to in the original post will work fine for a portable power supply if you don't want to build something yourself.
And it also appears you can't just plug the other USB into the wall?

Nice and cheap and the best part it works.
USB Hub works...sort of.
I tried this with a cheap USB hub I bought. I had bought it for my laptop and made sure it had it's own power supply to keep the load off my laptop, so I thought it would be perfect for this. Nice try though.
Turns out it needs 5V from the host to activate as well as the additional external power supply. Just fired it up with my TouchPad connected via a Y-Cable and my Laptop providing the 5V to fire it up. Works like a charm.
As yet to find out if it works with my travel charger providing the 5V and no external power supply plugged in, and how many devices I can hook up. It's got 7 ports so I suppose the supply might be useful then, but do I really need to hook up that many devices? Otherwise...pointless. Back to the drawing board I go.

Hi,
I have a wifi only htc flyer and would like to check if anyone has been able to get a usb 3g stick running on their htc flyer?
Thanks,
Kim
Not 100% positive, but the answer is most likely no. Some time ago, i bought an adapter to plug my flash drive in. After a bit of research, it seems the flyer doesn't give off enough power to the usb port, therefore can't power a device attached to it. There might be a way to do it, not sure though.
Hope this helps

USB Host is supported! You have to use an external powered USB hub though and then connect everything to it. I have pictures of how I found it works here:

So all we need is drivers and 3G support
I know that HC 3.1 supported USB hosts, but like i said, the flyer can't power the device by itself, you need an external power source, thats kind of an effort when you not at home. But good find

On htc phones the Usb OTG works only with an external power-supply. Samsung phones are able to provide even power, so you simply connect mouse/usb sticks/ keyboard and it will be powered up by the phone itself..with HTC no, you need to connect something that is powered by batteries or by external source..for example you can connect an USB hub only if you can connect it with a transformer to the electric line of your house (that's what I mean http://img.dxcdn.com/productimages/sku_33189_2.jpg)
Ohh so that's it. Wow. Can't believe I never heard of that before. I even thought for a moment that my phone was broken. Thanks for the helpful info. I guess its time to look for a power supply for my hub.

I already have an otg cable. Though mine doesn't have a power port. I tried to see if I could find any cable that fits in my USB hub's power port but had no luck. So I would have to buy one. But now that I think about it. A powered otg cable would be better. Since I would have to use the hub at all times otherwise. Hmm... I don't know. I guess I'll go for whichever is cheaper. Or if not I'll see if I can mod my otg cable to add power port to it.

Took me a few hours but its done. I took a broken USB charger I had laying around. I just attached red and black from said cable and connected it to the red and black from the otg cable. I took that long because I was being really careful with the cuts. Its interesting that when I disable otg in Kernel Tuner the plugged otg cable charges the phone. I thought it wouldn't.
Anyways, a new problem came up. I can't get neither my Ps3 controller or mouse to work. Everything I plug gets detected by USB host controller, but nothing works.It even detects it all simultaneously trough on the hub. The only thing I have been able to do was pairing my Ps3 controller with the SixAxis controller app. Its strange since I tried this same cable and peripherals on a Xoom and they worked just plug and play.
Is this because of the ROM not supporting it? Or is it the Kernel or something else? I'm currently using CM 10.1 w/ Sarin Gas Kernel. I'm going to try with a different ROM/Kernel but just wanted to know if its that not all Roms support it.
