Please forgive my English. To use a hard disk 2.5 the USB Hub it should be powered, or its not necessary? My idea is a inateck HB4003 with a hard drive of 1TB 2.5. A 32GB USB memory and wireless keyboard and mouse. It's correct?
Thanks!

I just did this actually, I'm using a powered hub, and I have it connected to a powered hard drive dock, you need root and the app stickmount by chainfire,
orrr you need to flash the nexus player data2USB boot image by dees_troy, which supposedly will make the nexus act more like they're internal storage, but I haven't tried it yet

I tried to attach a 2.5' hard disk (250G) to a powered USB Hub and it worked.
Apart from that, I also inserted in the hub: a 32gb usb stick + wireless mouse & keyboard and everything worked.
I tried to connect the 2.5' hard disk directly to the nexus player with only a simple OTG usb cable and it worked, it powered on! It seems that the nexus player delivers enough power to keep a 2.5' hard disk running.
The usb hub is: AmazonBasics USB-3.0-Hub with 4 Ports

Good news. But the inateck HB4003 have ethernet connection. And i am interested in this. I think probably work all (hdd, 32gb memory, wireless mouse and ethernet connection) but I worry that the power is insufficient.
What do you think about this hub?
Aukey SuperSpeed 7-Port USB 3.0 HUB
More expensive, but powered, whit 7 ports and ethernet connection.

As you already know, the inateck-hb4003 works and is tested:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...ateck-hb4003-gigabit-ethernet-3-port-t3052322
But I don't see it having external power, so that could be an issue with power hungry devices.
For example, my Amazon basics does NOT power on the external hdd without it's power supply in the wall, so..
About the Aukey, I don't know what to say. Try only the one WITH power supply.
I always try to use something tested and reviewed, it's better than sending products back etc..
If you buy it please post a review for the community.
Cheers.

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:

(Added September 7th)
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.
Today I accidentally found this http://direct.sanwa.co.jp/ItemPage/400-GADR002W that by first look it could be awesome...

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 just bought a new Tab and want to use my external hard drive with it. I have the USB connector and a y cable to provide power to the external drive, when I plug in it recognises the drive but says it is blank, the drive is in FAT32 format so should be OK. I have done some searching on Google and can`t seem to find an answer. The drive is a Western Digital 320gb passport.
Can anyone help?

Hello All, I also confirm that the Drives are supported I also use 1TB Hard drive connected but to achive that I have the Tab2 7" the original samsung usb adapter for OTG then I connect a USB hub with double USB cable one to connect to a usb charger and the another end to the samsung adapter, the I connect the Drive to one of the USB inputs of the hub and you can use the drive ( I have it formatted as FAT32) and I think I can access the hole drive. I have like 500Gb used and at least I can see all the folders I have. I think I also was able to connect other devices at the same time without problems. (Usb mouse and keyboard).
I am not sure if the trick is the USB hub as in my Playstation if I connect the 1TB drive it is not detected but if I connect the hub with the drive then it is detected and had no issue to access it. Probably it is the same for android devices. =S
If someone need to use the hard drive in windows and in the tablet I suggest to prefer NTFS file system..
With PARAGON exFAT, NTFS & HFS+ we can mount hard drive without format it and we can use use as same as a flash drive
For an external hard drive 3,5" we need the wall plug, so we only need to connect the USB through the USB otg adaptor and here to the tablet
If we have a 2,5" hard drive without wall plug there are a few methods:
Use a USB hub with a wall plug and connect it with a Y cable (with this method we can connect other devices like mouse or keyboard)
Use a small USB wall plug and connect it with a Y cable
This two method are the easier but we need a wall plug, I'm trying right now to make small USB battery charger so we can go out and use the hard drive for some hours.
Another solution is to buy an SSD and connect it through a hard disk bay for data to usb interface
With his small amount of current I think it doesn't require a wall plug, but it costs so much for now..
Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Comes with following accessories:
USB Wall Charger
Micro USB 3.0 Cable
S-Pen
The data charge port is the same as galaxy note 3 and galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition.
So how can we take full advantage of Mirco USB 3.0 Port.
The uppermost idea in my mind is your can get an USB 3.0 OTG cable for it. Then you can use a USB mouse or wireless mouse or read your u disk.
What else accessories come to your mind? Add them here and share with us.
You can use micro USB cables with the USB 3 slot on the NotePro.... cross compatible!!!

The Gigabit Ethernet adapter on this three way USB3.0 hub works fine through an OTG cable, although from memory it didn't start working until after I'd performed the 5.1.1 upgrade.
Although you obviously only get USB2 (480Mbps) speeds as thats all NP USB2.0 port can handle.
This enables my combined USB Bluetooth Mouse/Keyboard adaptor to work fine and and leaves free USB slots for additional USB local storage devices ie flash drives not any devices which require powering, otherwise you'll be better of buying a powered USB hub.
USB powered hub, 6 USB 3.0 ports, ethernet adapter, and it works well. I'm having some problems with other accessories but do not think they are because of the hub
which ROM are you on?
This worked sporadically for me with CM, but switched to lollirock (which works great for the app store / compatibility) but the ethernet stopped working.
I've found also that I had to use a USB 2.0 cable to connect to ethernet, was this a similar experience for you? I'm going to return it for a refund, but if yours is on lollirock and you're using full usb 3.0 cabling, then I might just ask for a replacement from Aukey.

I do not quite understand the question. The Hub is connected to its own cable and ethernet cable to it. I do not need any extra USB cable. 2.0 or 3.0. If you mean the adapter otg was one he had at home. To me the Ethernet connection works properly with lollipop 5.1.1. Also it seemed to work with M
