Hi guys,
1) I bought Nokia USB OTG HOST cable like this, and it works very well
2) I also bought Samsung Galaxy S2 HDMI adapter like this,
to try on Sony Tablet S.
Unfortunatelly (as I thought) - its not working.
So anyone who thinks about buying one - don't buy it(for now).
Maybe someone knows if other adapter would work?
Maybe HDMI support via microUSB port could be added
in software, of course after we will get root?

I too would also like to know if this would be possible. If i root my Sony S tablet would that help,or there is a custom rom i could flash to my Sony Tablet to enable the use of a micro usb-to-HDMI cable for video/audio output to my 42"LCD TV. I only ask bcuz none of my TV's are wifi/DLNA capable & Id like to use the Sony tablet for streaming Netflix to my TV's. I recently upgraded to the Epic 4G Touch/Galaxy S II & i would rather use my tablet for streaming than my Galaxy S II. Thanks for any info
It would be pretty cool to play a nice graphics game on the Tablet S with it displaying on the 42 monitor!

I think tablet will not give hd resolusion from netflix. I think it will be the same as on galaxy s ii.

Folks, this tablet does not have HDMI out. Even when it's possible to root it, that won't help.

Galaxy S2 doesnt have HDMI out, and work with adapter. How can you be so sure that its not possible?
Hi Condi,
While the Galaxy S2 doesn't have an HDMI socket like you'd have on your TV, it does have the electonics required to do HDMI over microUSB. Unfortunately the Sony doesn't have this because Sony decided to use DLNA instead, mainly because their TV's have this functionality.
I did quite a bit of research on this subject before buying this tablet and confirmed it with Sony UK.
Sadly it's pretty typical of Sony to build their gadgets to work best with their own devices. Another example of this practice is the proprietory power connector that means you have to use their £30 power adaptor, which is pretty pricey for a mobile power adaptor if you ask me. It also means there is currently no car charger for it, which is extremely annoying too.

Graffy,
I purchased th Logitexh K400 for my sony tablet after looking at your post. However, the micro USB to USB converter I have failed to recognize the keyboard. I wanted to check if I am not doing anything wrong before purchasing another converter. Can you pls post the steps you performed for connecting your K400 to your sony tablet s?
Thanks in advance

Hello,
Sorry I did not see your questions ..
Step 1
- Connect the mini USB to USB adapter (mine is the one I use with my Samsung Galaxy Note.
Step 2
- Connect the mini USB adapter supplied with the K400 Keyboard
That, for me it works immediately without something else. My tablet is root.

Thank you - Brilliant!
I had this keyboard, then the Sony tablet, then I bought the special connector - and although I tried several times - it wouldnt work for me. I copied the steps in the order according to your video, and it is working perfectly. Thank you! (I joined this forum just to post this thank you message.)
I'm typing this reply from that keyboard right now, that I became aware and purcashed soley because of this thread. I wish companies would pay a royalty to users who got out of their way to show off a good product.

Hi guys
Im using the 8gig version and im desprate to have an otg support for this phone. Hope you guys can help.
Thanks in advance.
I don't think the kernel supports OTG
Shame on you Sony! Many of users need this function. It is a absolutely basic issue. I hope that one day, one of clever users will find the way to activate this function in our phones.

Yeah, I tried it the other day with a new cable I have (it works well with my Windows Tablet) but nothing I did worked, so Googled it and it seems it isn't supported on the M4.
You can otg support for the sony xperia m4 i guess by tweaking it.I don't know how to get it working
But i know that if we could enable this kernel feature. Then otg will work if we use an otg y cable or powered hub.
Xperia L got otg using a similar method.
Developers please test this out.
We don't have to blame sony we will get it ourself.

My guess is... They over looked it... Somebody in Dev dept in sony was probably slacking off... Its just funny that even those cheap phones nowadays offers otg support.. While sony's mid-range doesn't.

Sony removed otg fearing that the device will short circuit because of being waterproof.
I believe since sony m4 is fully plastic there is a problem with being short circuit unlike Z series.
Waterproof nature of M4 is not as good as Z series although they say ip68.I have seen alot of cases of water damage.
:good:
Sony xperia L had no otg support. but soc supported it.
Only thing was to enable it using the usb otg helper app and use a powered usb hub or otg y cable.
I can't find an otg y cable or powered otg hub. If anyone can find check it out.
Sometimes a custom kernel with otg support enabled might be required. This is developers work.
Otg worked on galaxy A5 2015 edition after using a custom kernel.
better than Z1 for underwater use
yeah i tried the y cable & it didnt work.
whats good about it though is that i took it swimming more times than i could count & still works perfectly. better than my old Z1.

M4 doesn't have usb host enabled. So even a powered otg or y cable won't work until it is enabled.
?
