I have a 8" MediaPad 5 (SHT-W09 *.0.0.196 (C567)). It works well except I cannot seem to get OTG to work. I have installed a OTG explorer and it finds it has the capability, but when I try to connect a USB stick (or powered hard drive) via a OTG cable, nothing is detected by a whole range of apps.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
Can somebody verify otg connection is working for this tablet?
I tried my cable but it does not turn the device into usb host mode.
A quick test with a usb host testing app showed that this tablet has no usb host capabilities. Shame.
BS - of course this tablet has USB host functionality.
Via the usual OTG adaptor you can connect the usual USB sticks, hard drives (with own power supply), mice, keyboards etc.
It has even a special feature (can be activated in audio settings) for connecting a USB DAC for high-quality sound / recording.
Yes, it works w/o problems

Cool, looks like that test app isn't very accurate then.
This is the result it came up with:
If @datalkingx means with OTG connection to connect USB Flash Drive, Keyboard, etc. then it works, if he means something else then I don't know

Has anyone tried or know if i can connect usb port replicator to an android phone with OTG cable.
The idea s can i essentially connect 2 monitors to an android device and then use them with VNC to connect to actual computers therefore being able to use the tablet/phone as a very portable computer.
Regards
just tried it with an otg adapter on my note 3 and a lenovo port replicator.
usb ports work fine (keyboard, mouse etc) but I cannot get the monitor to light up...
Hi all, I have a MK809III tv stick with Android 4.4.2 running. I use it as a mini PC with a LCD screen. I have attached to its USB OTG ports a quadrate 2.0 4 ports USB HUB (google for this and you can see it) , and connected to it, a PS/2 keyboard (using an usbtoPs2 adapter), an usb mouse, a usb ethernet dongle, and a usb sound card dongle. When I use this combo, all works fine, the mouse can drag and select, also wheel works, the keyboard works fine, the ethernet run smooth, and the sound works as player and mic recorder, the only thing not works is to reboot the tv stick, and launch android again (with other MK89III tv stick this also works flawlessly), to get this, I must to unplug RJ45 or usb ethernet. But this last question is not my main problem. The main problem is that I can not make the combo work anyway if I change usb hub model, If I use a 2.0 usb square hub (no name brand) with a little blue led installed, all works fine, but using other hub (I have tested two others), thare is no way to work. The main situation is that the hub stops work, and all item connected not works at all. But commonly, mouse works with a bad behaviour in button response, usb sound disconnects suddenly, or usb ethernet lagg or not works at all. My question is about this behaviour with usb hubs, if there is a special requirements in hardware to match an usb hub with this kind of android devices, or if thare are some drivers that can solve this.
Thank in advance.
Solved
I have solved the two main problems in order to use my MK809III RK3188 as a mini pc with usb hub and rj45 ethernet. The hub must to be a chip on board one, no an all-in-one glued ultra-cheap type, this is a mark of better quality and response, then you can conect keyboard/mouse, usb or ps2 with usb converters, usb sound, and usb pendrives. The ethernet must be an ASIX AX88772C, this a true usb ethernet 100mbps (7MB/s real) device, since I use it there is no lag, no boot errors, no delays or shorts in Tx/Rx. That´s all.
I've been trying to find information about this on the web but I've failed to do so.
I bought a Kingston Micro duo USB C 3.0 and it worked a couple of times (I had to manually change to MTP) using the USB C connector straight on my S9+.
I've been trying to get it working again on my phone with no luck. Everytime I connect the USB C end on my phone, it will show on the notification tray "Usb charging device" and "USB connector connected", this last one will disappear in a matter of seconds.
I've set the default to be MTP using Developer Options and even select MTP for the device once it connects, but it just reverts its status.
I know for a fact the USB C end works because I can connect it to my computer (Windows and MacOS) and I've tried formatting it using a lot of different formats, still when I connect the USB C to the device it doesn't read it.
I managed to get the drive working using my USB C dongle (Which has 2 USB A 3.0, but no power passthrough) and connecting the USB A side to it and my phone recognized the drive instantly! So I formatted the drive using my phone, connected the USB C end on the device and it doesn't recognize it.
It seems it's just a bug on the Samsung device or something. I guess Samsung is moving towards USB C but they are not thinking on all the stuff you can connect.
I found this link https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...g-defaults-to-charge-other-device/td-p/183539 and this other https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/help/note-8-usb-otg-t3680207 but so far no solution.
Edit:
I just tested my drive with an S8 and it worked without issues (the USB C end) and was able to test it on another S9's and they don't recognize it.
Mine works without issue. Not sure what's happening with yours sadly. Edit - mine's the Micro Duo 3C, but I can't imagine there'd be much difference.
Same here. Today I had hard times getting to work my USB stick and a default dongle. Every time I inserted the dongle the notification goes "USB charging device" and changing to "transfer files" doesn't change anything. Playing a bit made a 32gb stick visible in a file manager (namely x-plore) and I was able to transfer files to it. But no PC recognizes the stick so far...
Well, I was trying to use OTG on this tablet, keyboard and mouse works great connecting via USB with a Type-C adapter.
But when connecting a Logitech controller it receives power (I can turn mode on/off and the light goes on/off) but the tablet doesn't recognize, for example when I go to the Stadia app nothing appears as connected, but on my OnePlus phones works fine.
I was searching and it may be a problems with permissions, is a root really necessary and is it even worth it? What do you think?
Hi Jota, did you ever figure out the Logitech and also does this model have otg video out to HDMI cable? Trying to confirm that feature before I buy it. many thanks!
