Hey guys,
Just letting you know, I can confirm that USB OTG works out of the box for these tablets, been using my USB key perfectly fine. This feature can be particularly useful if you have a USB hard drive or any USB devices you want to connect. The wired XBOX 360 controller also works but need to be remapped to work apparently.
Attached are some screenshots.
Cheers,

I've been wanting to use an OBDlink SX (obd2 to USB.) interface for automotive use. But plugging it into my otg adapter the tablet does not seem to recognize or respond. A USB trackball worked right off the bat though.

Could it be the device itself? Do other USB devices over your OTG? I've only tested USB keys and XBOX 360 controllers so far...

I've heard of others with rooted tablets come up with fixes.

Does it need any special software or it will work out of the box via file explorer

where do you find that otg cable ?!?! do yo have a eBay link ???
wow, I just bought a 1tb WD Elements for $49 from Fry's electronic and my Dell 8 can read it no problem, it can even play mkv video from WD. The best thing is it doesn't require extra power source. Amazing ... worth every penny.

Hi,
I have purchased a Micro USB OTG Hub for my Dell venue 8 Tab. Once i connect the OTG on the Tab the USB is working and the Micro USB is not working and my Tab is not charging. Kindly help me to solve this issue please.
Do you know if this will allow me to use my sprint Sierra Wireless 250U usb mobile broadband device to connect to the internet?

I believe that USB OTG's architecture requires integration on a hardware level. Most USB devices don't have this capability, nor are they flashable to support it. It would be nice to have USB OTG functionality on all mobile device, though.
Seagate just announced their GoFlex Satellite WiFi streaming portable hard drive. Looks pretty slick and may be a good alternative to not having USB OTG. Check it out:

No...you are wrong.it is possible to get usb otg support to your x10.read this forum and do steps as it says.your x10 will also support otg devices....

Hi,
I've googled this question and it seems that it does. However, I'm plugging a USB flash drive (Sandisk Cruzer 1GB) into the device and nothing seems to be happening.
Yes it does.
Did you buy a USB OTG cable? And did you check within a file explorer of your choice (I'm using EStrongs) whether you get the USB storage as a new directory? I unfortunately neither do carry the USB OTG cable nor a USB stick with me so I can't tell you the exact directory name.

Works with my firmware mod C232B005 and the new kernel-3.0.42.
I just tested that with some video from a 8Gb USB pen drive.
You need a mini USB-B to USB-A adapter/connector.
I'm using build number S7-301uV100R002C232B005, Android version 4.0.3, kernel version 3.0.8
I bought a USB OTG cable, don't have a file explorer but alogcat didn't show any activity when I plugged the drive in.
Works fine on mine. It was even working in HC3.2 rom. Keyboard, mouse, pendrives and usb card readers ( used to read my cybershot's card) works fine. But have to tap 'mount usb storage' several times to access my other phone's (HTC wildfire) SD card over usb.

is your usb flash formatted on FAT32?
OTG works fine even on stock rom. Tested with various USB flash drives and card readers/SD cards of various sizes. Also have played numerous media using the OTG too. I think format should be FAT/FAT32.
One thing that didn't work was an external hard drive (500gb). Maybe it needs its own power for it to mount on the mediapad though I haven't tried formatting it to FAT/FAT32 yet as its my backup drive.

This has been an issue with Android USB OTG since the beginning. Flash drives, mice, and keyboards will work fine by themselves, but anything that requires a little more juice like spinning platter drives needs to be run through a powered USB hub. As for drive format, only FAT/FAT32 is supported. However, some custom kernels have allowed for NTFS file support.
As a side note, I can also confirm that USB 3.0 drives work with the OTG cable. (Patriot Supersonic Express 32GB tested)

I already had an inclination that this should be the case but was not able to confirm as I don't have any external HDD with its own power nor do I have a powered USB hub. Thanks again for providing this explanation.
other usb devices?
Does anybody know if the OTG support on the springboard goes beyond OS/file system support, and allows for third party android apps to connect to usb devices?
an example would be the DSLR Controller android app or Remote Release android app being able to see/control a Canon DSLR...
thanks

I tried both apps with my Rebel XSi/450D and had no luck with the OTG cable. Neither app recognizes that the camera is plugged into the tablet. I'm running HWMODs ROM with the MediaPad EX kernel. The last time I tried the app was with my Asus Transformer TF101, and it worked great (no OTG needed though).
Camera also doesn't mount as usb device for file transfers when plugged in.

FAT32 works perfectly with OTG cable. However, I can confirm that NTFS works just fine also. Not sure if it's built into the stock ROM but it works for me running HWMODs ROM and the MediaPad EX kernel.
Remote control works perfectly fine with my 550D over OTG cable. USB FAT32 sticks works fine as well. Don't remember about NTFS. DO NOT connect exFAT drives, as Huawei ROMs kills exFAT partitions! And I wasn't able to recover them. It won't recognize my card reader though...

hi i have just bought a huawei mediapad t1-8.0 and i change it to russian firmware-rooted with towellroot-installed with estrong but i cant see any usb device when i plug in my usb with usb otg cable. anything missing in my component to make it work? tnx for add in your rlpy.
I am not that skilled IT wise I wrongly assumed that my OTG device was a plug and go! Now I am stumped I had hoped to turn my Huawei T5 pad as A TV in my camper. 12v TV's are to expensive as I am retired on a limited income. Is there an easy fix in IT speak that may work for me???

I will buy a OTG cable soon. I would try to test any gamepad device, I have two 360 Controller (one wired, one wireless with respective receiver). I read from somewhere in xda that now it's possible to connect wireless receiver to Android... well, I swear that our DX can support it too! It will be great for emulators like ePSXe...
Does it support USB 2.5 inch harddisks as well? Did anyone test? I will buy an otg cable soon, too, so I would like to know if it works...
well, Joysticks and Controller does'nt work for me
but Flash Drive, Keyboard, Mouse Does

I suppose that usb HDD without external AC input won't work, I think that Desire X's usb doesn't have enough power for that.

Just got a usb harddrive to work using external power. It's ntfs formatted, so I used Paragon NTFS mount from Play Store. The drive itself doesn't have a power supply, but I connected a USB Y-power cable to it and plugged in the other side to my laptop. Will try a mobile USB charger as well as soon as I'll get one.

But the xbox controller in the video is a wired one, mine is like the one attached in the photo, wireless controller with Windows receiver (also, mine is a third party receiver). Also I tried with others USB PC adapters I have, like one N64+PSX to usb and another one that is 2 PSX/2 controllers to USB, and don't work on it. If I can, I will try on a Xperia Ray and look if it works on it...
Any of you lucky HDX owns know if it supports USB OTG (MicroUSB to normal USB)? I've seen some specs saying it does. If so:
Does it support a USB keyboard/mouse?
Does it support Mass Storage? (Flash Drives/Card Readers)
If #2, what file systems? FAT, NTFS, exFAT?
I just hook up the USB 2GB thumb drive, it's a no go.

It is good they are supporting Bluetooth.

Hello
Just got my new Nexus Player and after long search I can't find the right answer.
I want to connect the player to my Ethernet in my house for better connection and if possible to add an external HDD.
Here is my list of questions and I hope that I've got the the right place:
1. I want to have the maximum network speed and I have Giga cables in my walls . Is there a standards in the adapter that I need to buy to have the maximum speed? Or all the adapters have the same speed limit?
2. Is there a way to connect both Ethernet and USB HDD long side? Is there a magic box that have USB and also an Ethernet connection? If there is I would like to get an advise what is the best one to buy.
If someone have an experience what the items I need and have an advice what is the best to buy - I will love to get some links.
Many thanks in advance

You'll need an OTG cable, a USB 2.0 hub (a powered one if you're going to hook up non-powered hdd), and then just about anything you want will work through the hub. For expanded storage you'll need to root and install stickmount. If you want to install large games then you may need foldermount as well.
Sorry for posting the same issue for the 5th and many thanks for helping me - now it's time for shopping

In Amazon type in "ethernet USB hub", many results will come up. Here is a link to the first one. I don't know for sure if it is compatible or not though.
Anker® 3-Port USB 3.0 HUB with 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet Converter (3 USB 3.0 Ports, A RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet Port, Support Windows XP, Vista, Win7/8 (32/64 bit), Mac OS 10.6 and above, Linux) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KGV7I9Y/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_-ifUub140WKQG
The problem is that even if the adapter supports full Ethernet speed the USB port on the nexus player will not.
So, you should get the benefit of a stable connection... But it will never be beyond USB 2.0 speeds.
I am connected to 2.5ghz wireless N and I haven't had a problem with 1080p Netflix, no stutters on YouTube and modern combat 4 and 5 both play with no lag.

Can anyone tell me why my USB flash drive doesn't always mount with my Nexus player? I've got a powered Plugable USB hub, with my pny 32gb fat32 format USB drive.
It keeps switching names and sometimes doesn't show up at all until after I rerun stickmount.
This happens after waking from sleep as well. I'm obviously rooted and unlocked what am I missing?
Also how do I activate pro on stickmount after I've purchased it. I just get a weird screenshots about the pro version when clicking upgrade....
