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.

Did it work before you flashed angelrom?
i didnt try it before my friend....today i bought the converter from micro usb to usb......so...is there any service that maybe did not is enable in the custom rom....and cant run the usb host....
It's unlikely that it's the ROM, as this is a feature that many people use.
It may be that what you are trying to use simply doesn't work. Do you have a USB mouse you could try? Also, is the device that you are connecting powered, or does it expect power from the USB connection?
well...i connect 3 devices... a keyboard...a mouse...and a usb strage stick....
and no led...power on...of the devices
In that case, I suggest you ask on the thread where you got the ROM. Have you already searched that thread to see if anyone else has the same problem?
i did a quick search...but i didnt find anything important...well ok my friend thx....

don't bother checking with more devices or posting in the rom thread, you just bought the wrong cable for otg purposes.
a simple converter from micro usb to usb won't do, the sgs2 discovers connected devices by the resistor between pin 4 and 5 of the micro usb plug inserted, and afaik, a usb otg cable needs a 200k resistor (if you decide to weld one in yourself, double check the number against other threads, i am not sure about that). simple converters, adapters and even some "usb otg" marked cables don't have a resistor in there.
and if the correct resistor is present in the plug, the device should discover the cable when plugged in, and then you can connect any device afterwards and get another notification. (as is seen in the usb otg video in the accessories section.)
i hope you did not pay too much on that cable, or have the possibility to return it for a refund or exchange, because yours has little to no known uses.
Thanks Chef, I didn't know that. That's the "something new" that I learnt today
thx my friend..i give 4 euro for this ****...but its ok....
i m gonna buy....this one of nokia cable....its ok i thing right... ??? http://europe.nokia.com/find-produc...cables/nokia-adapter-cable-for-usb-otg-ca-157
Can anyone confirm if the USB host feature works with the Galaxy S3.
Specifically, I'm interested in attaching a USB Keyboard to the device.
After upgrading from honeycomb to ICS on my wife's Galaxy S2 I found that the USB Host function no longer works and I can no longer connect a USB keyboard. (It used to work rather well).
After checking the XDA forums I see that I must root the phone and use another kernel which I'd rather not do given that the S2 is not my phone.
I'll be picking up the Galaxy S3 once the Blue-32gb arrives here in Taiwan so I'm also wondering if anyone can say whether or not the USB Host function works and if anyone has tried out a USB keyboard.
Any advice would be swell
Thanks
Works for me unrooted mate. Had a flash drive connected with no problems

Thanks for the reply.
After upgrading to ICS on my wife's S2 the phone continues to read USB Flash drives just fine, but it could not (cannot) read any other devices including USB Keyboards or a USB Mouse.
I want to be able to use my fold-able ASUS USB Keyboard to type documents on the G3 and from what I've seen, the screen is plenty big to be able to make my dream of 'ultra-portable' document typing a reality.
This, plus the fact that I haven't found any fold-able Blue Tooth keyboard that seems to work very well with the S2.

Check this video, as stated in another thread

I made my own usb host cable and everything I have tried is working. Wireless keyboard and mouse, memory stick, external harddrive, ps3 controller etc.
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 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"?

Hi,
Sorry if this post has already been done. I am new to this site and I couldn't find the answers.
Can anyone help with makes and models of compatible bluetooth gamepads and other bluetooth input methods?
I have only had the phone a few weeks and I have read lots of different things saying there are problems with certain devices (dualshock 3, dualshock 4, xbox 360)
Dualshock pairs with the phone, no problem but does nothing.
I contacted LG, and their respone is that because the phone works with my smartwatch, then there is obviously no problem as far as they are concerned!?!
I informed them that every other phone I had works with bluetooth controllers.
If anyone has any advice or can confirm working devices I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance, and sorry again if already a post for this...

I have not experienced any problems with game controllers, download Sixaxis from the play store to use your Dual shock 3 or 4 controller, I have the dualshock 3 and it works with no problems.
Hi, thank you for your suggestion. Much appreciated, but sadly I get this error when I try the sixaxis comparability app...
Attempting connection method 1...
Driver Starting...
Could not start driver. Check that your device is rooted.
Disconnected

As the error suggests your device needs to be rooted, you can find the guide for rooting your device in the guide section of these forums.
Thanks for the reply again.
I don't know if I'm brave enough to root the phone just yet as I have only had it for 2 weeks. (Warranty)
I will hopefully track down an alternative method, hopefully someone will come up with some options for working controllers... Or even better, LG get it sorted
