I read many post's here and there about OTG (or MTP) problems for Z3TC (kitkat or lolipop) .
Anyone can report something about ??
I'm planning to buy one but .....
OTG is very important for the use i wont it for.
For me it works. No problems so far. Last week I copied about 12gb of pictures with a cheap otg adapter from eBay.

in what firmware and android version ??
I don't know the firmware (don't care about it) but first it was on 4.4, then 5.0 and since last week on 5.1... Official firmware flashed with PC Compagnion.
No root or any modifications, otg used with the preinstalled filemanager.
Only one time the tablet couldn't mount my USB drive, but after a reboot the problem was gone.
Same here. Otg was fine on 5.0.2 and now still working perfect on latest 5.1.1

Hello! I was redirected here from XDA Assist Forum for the following.
The device i am using is a Kindle Fire HDX 7 32GB running Thor-Gapps-13.3.2.4-v1 ROM.
I've been searching for an answer on how to get an OTG cable to work for my Kindle to play roms. I tried a much older method http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1652800 but with no result. If there is or isn't a method please let me know :highfive: Thank you for taking a look :fingers-crossed:
Huh?
USB OTG isn't enabled on this device. I believe it is at the kernel level and since we don't yet have a released bootloader unlock, all ROMs have to use the stock Fire OS kernel.

Thank you for letting me know
Still the case? Any idea from anyone of the developers if its ever going to be a possibility? I'm about to buy another one due to its perfect physical size for my mod need and I need OTG for an FM Radio.
Hi.
I'm thinking about buying this device, but have question for people that have already this device or know the answer to this.
Does this device support usb otg so I can connect usb drive, xbox controller etc?
Waiting for answer.
Apparently not. I've just plugged my USB flash drive in with an OTG cable and nothing.
they're screwing with us. Its not a cheap phone after all, so sony could add support for this, but nooo....
I read somewhere that Android M will have native support for flash drives, and giving the fact that this device is new its high possible
that it will get Android M support, with could possible fix that problem.
Android M?? No. I don't expect that Sony will release Android M to us...
I just want to have a very fundamental function - USB OTG!!!
Come on, Sony...

Sony announced an update t 5.1 for the M2 and M2 Aqua see blogs.sonymobile.com/2015/06/04/android-5-0-lollipop-rolls-for-the-xperia-z-series-android-5-1-coming-for-xperia-m2-and-xperia-m2-aqua
So I think there is a change for us to get Android M.
(Sorry for the text link, I'm not yet allowed to post links directly.)
OTG doesn't work on my M4 aqua.

Seriously? Sony will update M2 to Lollipop 5.1 and it has already announced a Developer Preview of Android M for Z series (plus two or three minor model).
We'll surely receive Android M.

Today sony announced that the sources fir M4 are available on github. So even if Sony won't create 5.1 fir us, there is a good chance that there will be a cyanogenmod ie other alternative roms.

As you can see in the attachment, sony has confirmed that we will get official Android M! I think thats great news, I saw Sony committed on github... They committed into a new branch called 'master' Its newer then lp so I think thats the M device tree.
Lets hope for Google to release M soon, then we will have it also soon

Can't we use a powered OTG cable?
I have seen them on some sites.
Xperia L got OTG support through a similar method.
Please confirm i am really looking forward to buy the m4 aqua.
Overheating is okay as long as it doesn't overheat while calling.

I had a Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 LTE and too no OTG support.. But when you use Y OTG cable and add software otg support, it worked.. Maybe here it will same?

What cable are you using? I have Y type USB otg cable and i tried putting power to the one end through either usb port of pc or charger but nothing happened. I tried several softwares from market. If somebody succeeded with certain cable and software please post links.
Can you kindly check whether sony m4 aqua has a usbhost driver. You can check this via AIDA64 app, goto devices in the app. What i believe is that if a usbhost driver is present otg should work.but sony removed powering up of the usb device.
Hence it might be possible to get otg through a powered otgcable.
Xperia L got OTG through a similar method.
I didn't buy the m4 because of otg problem and lack of storage.
It is not a cheap phone too.
OTG is a must.
I checked but do not see such thing in devices in aida 64. We may only hope on future update to bring up this support.
recently bought the m4 aqua DUAL
i was wondering if the m4 aqua dual had the same overheating issues the regular m4 aqua does, the most up to date firmware version is one month newer on the dual than regular m4
m4 aqua:
Latest available software: 26.1.A.2.99
Release started: 2015-07-17
m4 aqua dual:
Latest available software: 26.1.B.2.102
Release started: 2015-08-03
so is it safe to say the dual update has eliminated both overheating and performance issues? i got the dual version instead of the single slot version because it comes with 16GB of memory
Don't you see a usb host driver like this?
We should send sony support aski
asking for otg via a firmware update.
Otg is a must for this mobile.
Sony e3,m,m2,C,c3,sp,t2 ultra all have otg
Only phones which do not have are e1,e and e4.
We should ask to add.

I will try to add it in AOSP 5.1.1 ( can anyone try it, coz I'm a bit busy? )
There is no such driver unfortunately. I hope that sony will add it in future.
I see tutorials for other variants of the honor to enable usb otg but not for the l24 variant. If its available and I'm just missing it point it out to me but so far I haven't found a solution.

I too, wish to activate OTG on my first smart phone. From my little understanding CM13 will indeed utilize the OTG, but no longer support the finger print scannner. It maybe (will be) over my head, but why can't both utilities be accessed at the same time?

Fingerprint scanner has been working fine in CM13 sense 7/20/16 all you need to do is update to MM first

Thanks, I'll explore that. MM may be another kettle of fish with Tasker or it's plug-ins. More homework to do and another thread. http://cdn2.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

The Honor 5x is now upto EMUI 4.0, Android 6.whatever
On this ROM, EMUI4.0 stock from Huawei, there is no OTG support. It isn't from lack of hardware being present- the kernel (the clump of code that runs the physical hardware directly) doesn't include the coding to do the deed. Why not? Well, personally I think it may have something to do with the way OTG devices are powered by the phone.
CM13 currently supports fingerprint scanner (FPS for short).
You misunderstand the issue for the FPS versus OTG functionality; let me explain:
FPS wasn't working on custom ROMs because the source code for EMUI 4.0 (M) wasn't released. FPS isn't something you can activate with a single line of code.
Also, FPS requires certain code clumps from Huawei directly, thus we need to update to FULL EMUI4.0 STOCK STATUS before using any ROM that may access the FPS.
OTG isn't available on stock because Huawei didn't activate it.
If you use a custom ROM, all these 'issues' basically disappear.
I still don't suggest charging one phone off of another phone. Or using a portable hard drive without exterior power. You can watch the battery drain.
Is there any way to enable otg storage on the l-24 model by flashing a different kernel then changing the build prop to enable otg? ( Have see tutorials on how to do it but for other models )
Just use a better ROM, like CM13.

Flashh the latset CM13 nightly
Hi,
according to GSMArena (https://www.gsmarena.com/one_plus_x-review-1337p3.php) the OnePlus X supports MHL. I recently bought an MHL Adapter, but I can't get it to work. LineageOS 14 (latest nightly) is installed on the phone.
How could I check if the phone or the ROM supports MHL?
The cable definitely works, I have tested it with my tablet.

Why don't you try using stock firmware once? Custom ROMs may not support it since there is very limited use of it. (You could always use a Chromecast)

Because I don't like the stock firmware and the "current" stock firmware is from 2016 (almost a year old) and has a lot of other bugs/security issues. It's still Android 6, whereas with Lineage I'm at the current Android version (7.1.2) and current security patch level as of last week. Lineage also gives me other features, which the stock firmware doesn't provide.

No, I meant taking a nandroid backup of your current ROM with data, flashing OOS and then checking if it works.
It depends on MHL cable. You really should look at MHL's number of pins. As I recall specific cables are working and some don't.

There are 5-pin and 11-pin cables. Samsung uses 11-pin, but OnePlus, Sony and most other manufacturers use 5-pin. I have a 5-pin cable with a 11-pin adapter. The 11-pin adapter won't even fit the phone (without forcing it).
So i've installed this custom os [ROM] [N6F26Q] AOSP Nougat (12 Jan 2017) on my Galaxy s2 plus, and then my DSLR camera connection stopped working (OTG), but the os says it should be compatible with OTG, i'm not sure the DSLR has anything with OTG to do tho?. Now i have googled around and found files neccessary for it to work, installed them and USB Host Controller detected them, still not recognising the camera.
So is there a way to install what's "neccessary" from the original stock firmware into some kind of kernal or "added function" via Custom Recovery or perhaps Odin?
Thanks to anyone that can potentially help to solve this!
This is something you give up when you use aosp. The otg works only if they use the open source version which most do not.
With aosp only the very basic functions will work.
Any custom rom for s2 plus that it works on if you know?
If anyone else have the same issue, it was never a problem with the os, i've tried it on several custom Os aslong as your phone is OTG compatible it works, it seems.
Buy a new OTG Cable and it will work again, or rather say buy the adapter version of it, better then the ****ty cable version that i bought, that broke out of thin air.
