Yes. It's called USB OTG (on the go).
Yep, see it demoed here. Unknown how wide the host support will be (will it include keyboard/mouse/gamepad etc).
Wow! That's really cool, thanks for the answer
Just curious... does Sensation also have this?

dunno if this has been asked before but i thought that this is the place to ask it.
since the phone has USB-otg could we use a mini usb to usb adapter or to we have to buy the samsung one?
The big question is if it is feasible somehow to read/write NFTS or at least EXT2-3-4 partitions! It would be great to be able to manipulate files on a 2.5" external HDD.
No, it can't read'write NFTS, but it works fine with large drives that are Fat32 formatted. Read my thread in the accessories forum for lots of information on USB OTG.
Where can we get the USB adapter for cheapest ?
There is even USB host support for your HD2. Trouble is usually you need an externally powered hub, as the phone can't supply enough power (or not for long) to power the USB device.
A microUSB plug to USB A jack is easy on ebay for like 2 bucks?
I got this one, works like a charm: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004TJC1IM
USB OTG has a floating (grounded) 5th pin on the microUSB connector to tell the host it's an OTG cable. Does anybody know the pin out of the microUSB plug?

I think this question has been asked before, but I still want to see if someone can answer me. I tried to hook up my 500gb external hard drive to my TP, with OTG cable and a isound portable charger. My hard drive turns on but have no sign say it's connected and can't find under folder explorer. Is it not possible for a hard drive? Also if I buy a Y-cable for usb thumb drive, can I watch movie directly from it? Thank you.
Have you tried StickMount?

Are you on cm7, cm9, or webos?
Also, are you sure the power source is outputting enough juice to fully power the drive?
im using usb host controller (found it somewhere here on xda) and root explorer, works perfectly!
but your hdd must be formated in FAT32, NTFS is not working correct me if im wrong or anything has released wich provides this feature
A bit related these software/methods can work with a camera too?

just ordered one on ebay (only an adapter from normal usb to micro-usb) for 1$.
Along with the otg cable u also need a usb Wye cable...the need is to provide power (plugged into the wall) for the usb hub (which u will also need ). Not Neuf power and the drives will not mount. Getting a solar powered usb hub cuts away the cables and detached u from the wall...I got mine on Amazon for bout 20 $. Totally worth it.

Hi,
I have a wifi only htc flyer and would like to check if anyone has been able to get a usb 3g stick running on their htc flyer?
Thanks,
Kim
Not 100% positive, but the answer is most likely no. Some time ago, i bought an adapter to plug my flash drive in. After a bit of research, it seems the flyer doesn't give off enough power to the usb port, therefore can't power a device attached to it. There might be a way to do it, not sure though.
Hope this helps

USB Host is supported! You have to use an external powered USB hub though and then connect everything to it. I have pictures of how I found it works here:
http://imageshack.us/g/824/gedc0010w.jpg/
So all we need is drivers and 3G support
I know that HC 3.1 supported USB hosts, but like i said, the flyer can't power the device by itself, you need an external power source, thats kind of an effort when you not at home. But good find

? My USB Hub is powered from my PSP charger! The Hub takes 5V and uses the same plug as the PSP.. I have an Idea! It's not Ideal but... Connect the USB Hub to the power pack with the PSP cable, Connect the Hub to the Flyer using a Mini USB cable and a USB Host cable! Et voila, Portable powered hub
I am also interested in this. As an experiment,I have ordered a cheap 3g router. One of the big questions is if it will support any of my usb modems.

If you connect the MHL cable to the device and the OTG cable to the MHL cable the device can't detect the OTG cable.
How can I make this work? I've seen videos in youtube that they connect their device to the TV at the same they have USB bluetooth mouse and keyboard connected.
Anyone tried using MHL cable and OTG cable at the same time?

According to some of wikipedia entries it should be possible to use mhl and usb otg at the same time with a 11-pin mhl-hdmi adapter.
Wikipedia said:
11-pin MHL-USB Connector
The Samsung Galaxy S III uses a connector that is similar to the original 5-pin MHL-USB connector, but it uses 11-pins in order to achieve a few functional improvements over the 5-pin design.
It supports the use of USB and MHL simultaneously (note that the new Samsung 11-pin MHL-HDMI adapter also has a USB-OTG port).
Samsung’s Galaxy S III can power the MHL-HDMI adapter. Although this can theoretically also be done with the standard 5-pin micro-USB connector, the Galaxy S III's 11-pin connector is believed to be the first smartphone that supports this functionality.

Here you go.
So, it should work. But I couldnt make it work at the moment
I also got one of these 11-pin connectors and like it seems only the S3 has these adapters, so why the **** doesnt it work?? :/
I already asked sammy on facebook, just wondering what they will answer^^
Hopefully we will have some pos. results, dude.
cheers

How would that work since the micro USB connection on the mhl cable is for power / charger?
In those YouTube videos is it possible that they have the mhl cable connected to the TV and power source, and the keyboard and mouse connected wirelessly via Bluetooth?
Confused because you said USB Bluetooth mouse and keyboard. From what I know they aren't USB.

Samsung should eventually release a dock to use both so unless someone figures it out first you'll just have to wait, because if it just took an 11 pin USB cable someone would have got it working already and we'd know about it, so I reckon it might have some extra circuitry to make it recognised by the phone.
Guys, as I already posted, the connector has 11 pins, so it should be possible to use OTG and MHL features at the same time. thats the only reason sammy brought out this connector and also cause of incompability with the 5-pin connector.
So they should bring the f*ck out somethin for the phone that activates this feature.
And a big problem I have with my mhl-connector is that I cant configure the output
on my 2 TVs at home I get 1080i, (both only 1080i capable), but the picture is kinda oversized so I cant see 100% percent of the picture, only 90% or smt like this.
But the funny part is, that I get on my 1680x1050p PC monitor only 576p screen, what actually sucks So it would be awesome if I could choose the resolution I want to have. But I guess its a thing of the connector (maybe it choose the resolutions iself).
cheers
so the one in the videos using keyboard and mouse are bluetooth thru phone?

I am SO HARD waiting for THAT "DOCK" hopefully will came out any day soon.
They should do iut fast. I'm waiting so hard for everything get connected with my Phone. It will be awsome if I don't need my Pc anymore.
To use the MHL cable you must have power connected to the adapter.

That's damn funny because I have wanted to know whether that would work as well, lol.
Did seriously consider trying but as I was on holiday if they broke, I wouldn't be able to get replacement so didn't try it.
In theory I would think it could work, but only if you could somehow wire in power to the hdmi adapter as it appears to need that to run the hdmi aswell as provide power to the phone, at least enough that once the usb adapter tries to demand power to run it isn't enough for the phone to output.
As to whether this is just a a stupid guess and assumption of how the devices and being a noob, I don't know.
If you can get a micro female to male adapter with a usb splitter for power then technically I can't see why it wouldn't work if the limitations are physical as oppose to software based (whole other issue I have no clue about).
EDIT: Wow, when I started that post no one had replied, err, seems a little redundant now, lol. My bad. Also, this 5 minute wait to point this out, have seemed really long...
guess we'll have to wait for that dock.

I know its possible to run a 4port usb hub, but can you charge thru the usb adapter with a cable like this ?
http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1203134&CatId=77
Just think you can hook up the usb adapter to the keyboard dock(ihave the student edition) and use an external hard usb stick, usb mouse and charge at the same time.. WOO HOO.

No, I've tried. Says high current charge connected but doesn't charge.
I wish they sold that when I spent 20 on just the USB portion of that. I'd like to have the SD adapter.

do a search for EPL-1PLRBEG found a kit for 2.98 shipped.

The stock Asus usb adapter will do that and more.
http://www.amazon.com/Transformer-T...984429&sr=8-1&keywords=asus+tf300+usb+adapter
The link is provided only as an example. I didn't try to locate the best deal, etc.
Flash drives and 2.5inch drives work without external power.
3.5 inch drives require external power.
Wifi keyboards and mice work as well. Just plug the wifi dongle into the adapter and go.
My experience the drives can be formatted as fat32 or ntfs.
In my case : TF300 + self assembled external 2.5" 500 GB drive, in need to provide additional power to the drive so that the tablet will mount it properly.
I use one of those mini-USB to double USB cables with plugin one USB on the double USB side in my 5V phone charger and the other USB in the USB adapter on the tablet while the mini-USB is in my drive.

i was thinking about doing this too but bought a keyboard dock instead. it has a usb 2.0 port built in. i have tried an external harddrive and several usb storage sticks and all work great. The thing about the usb adapter is that the poor placement of the charging port makes is so that if anything is connected, the tablet cannot sit in a case with a built in stand. dealbreaker for me.
