Does anyone have luck to use a USB stick with the Moto Z?
I have an USBc to microUSB adapter
And I am trying to connect this Stick
But without any luck.
This stick works fine on my PC/ Laptop/ Samsung tablet and Note Edge.
Any ideas?
I cannot seem to find any info regarding the MotoZ and OTG connectivity.
Is that a known Motorola problem/limitation?
Thx.

Filers that read our phone's OTG (ZPlay here) are few. Get File Commander, the new Solid, some like Total Commander but it has to make a duplicate.
Music not so much. The filers can hand off to players. But good 192 k and play through there is none. There is Poweramp for play through and hopefully the next version will allow Android 192k. USB Audio PP will not see OTG (plays 192).

It is a limitation that started with MM. DEVs are daunted by the new requirements to get it going.
Thanks. I appreciate your response.
I am not so concerned about the 'filer'- as you call it, I used Root explorer. Neither does the ZPlay do anything fore, as I am using the MotoZ
Thanks.
I was referring to the fact that my OTG storage does not show up on the device.
That's why I asked if anyone had luck on the Moto Z to access an external USB stick.

It's the micro USB to USB C adapter. You need to buy a USB C OTG cable.

What cable are you using to test USB Drive with TP2? I was hoping for the same sort of USB cable as the athena allowing you to plug usb devices into TP2 and use the TP2 as a host.
Thanks, Andy

I recently purchased the note from att and my wife bought me a few accessories from amazon. One of the accessories that came in the bundle was a usb host mode cable. I've googled for answers but couldn't find anything with details for what its for. Im not new to android and rooting, as Ive owned a few devices over the years and last one being the galaxy s2 on sprint. If anyone can explain to me whats the use for the host cable it would be greatly appreciated. Thanx in advance.
BTW I love the galaxy note!!! I sold my iPhone 4S to get it and Im happy I made the switch!!
It's for use with USB drives and other USB devices that require USB host to use.

For what purposes?
You can plug in a thumb drive to the cable and it will mount on your phone. You can also use usb keyboards/mice if you are so inclined.
I carry a cable so if anyone wants to pass me a large file I just plug in my device.

I use it mostly to run this: DSLR Controller.
It's also nice to be able to connect USB thumb drives to move files back and forth.
when I plug in my usb cable I don't get access to my sd card. Am I doing something wrong
Had a brain fart...
I figured it out

i just bought a micro to usb female but my phone wont recognize the usb drive i plug in
I think the cable you want is called an OTG cable, not just a micro USB to female USB.

What about Ethernet? There are USB-to-Ethernet converters and the Linux kernel likely supports them, I am rooted so I can run netcfg usb0 dhcp for sure. Is there a reason why this wouldn't work...?

You can use it for UOTG, USB on the GO. You can plug the micro usb to the phone and plug a USB flash drive. Go into a file explorer and look for a folder called usbStorage. You will be able to access the flash drive through that folder.
FYI, make sure that USB debugging is disabled other you will not see anything in the folder.
This is perfect for transferring files from USB or other media into the phone. I use it with my Canon S100 and transfer pics directly from the media card.

Anyone got a USB mouse to work on their G9?
edit: from the 3g port, like this guy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7H-EupM9g4
I dont want it bad enough to buy an adapter '
edit 2: someone said probably need a usb hub to translate usb 1.1/2.0
I can't get it to work through the back USB port either. Archos themselves say you need a micro USB to USB host cable, I ordered one today so I can test later.
Don't worry. Spend a dollar and buy OTG USB adpter. And your device will looks sexy not inside but and outside.

Yes, on my 80 G9 turbo hdd, I use the previous model of this: keyboard and mouse touchpad.
With this. Works like a charm.

The 3G USB host port needs definitely a hub to handle USB1.1 devices.
The OTG USB port is able to work with either with USB1.1 and USB2.0, but is restricted to work with HID and mass storage devices, due to software restriction.
AFAIK there's no general device support on the OTG port.
Correct me if i'm wrong...

So i was wondering if this OTG cable will work on my dorid razr for connect things such as a ps3 contoll or keyboard. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Micro-U...513597?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item19d56784bd thanks in advance
I've been wondering the same....
From what I understood from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1349038
You need to the OTG cable, plus an external power source, plus a usb hub?..
I don't know if using this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Micro-USB-H...970640?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2577ef70d0
Or the one you posted would work....
Anyone? A little help here please.

Suppose you have to download a big file using torrent or something else and you have a slow speed internet ( generally most of Indians, including me, have this situation :fingers-crossed: ). You want to download the file but don't want to keep you PC or laptop ON for whole night and for several days
I have an idea but need help of people to confirm this thing.
IDEA :::
Our phone has no OTG support, I agree. But can we somehow tweak the kernel and make it working just for powered Y OTG cable ??? POWERED USB cable can help us to connect pendrive or some other storage to our phone using a charger (any old usb charger)
power usb will connect to the charger for supply and otg will connect to the phone..... I am pretty sure about it. NOW THE SITUATION IS YOU HAVE A LOW POWERED TORRENTING MACHINE !!!! external drive absorb only 500mA*5volts = 2.5 watt . This means after 400 Hrs you get an electricity bill of 3-4 RS which is quite efficient.
Are u using this cable and is it working?

OTG on Moto E
I have found this thread which says OTG on MOTO E is possible, however the apk file is removed from the thread and I can't find the application name. Even if it is paid, I'd like to purchase it, so if you know which app is that, which would make OTG work on Moto E, please give me the name and I'll try to purchase it.
@naveenultimategamer What's the point in change the kernel for get through your example? You can just let your device in charge and after remove the SD card to transfer the file, or use a USB cable... Make things simple man...
