I believe that USB OTG's architecture requires integration on a hardware level. Most USB devices don't have this capability, nor are they flashable to support it. It would be nice to have USB OTG functionality on all mobile device, though.
Seagate just announced their GoFlex Satellite WiFi streaming portable hard drive. Looks pretty slick and may be a good alternative to not having USB OTG. Check it out:

[Q] A/V output.

Hello everybody,
I know that the scene is working really hard making and porting ROMS for the NT, now that CM7 (ALPHA) is out... I'm curious if is a CHANCE or light in the future to use a micro USB/HDMI output to be able to connect the tablet to a HD TV using MHL.
PS: Is the CM7 KERNEL capable of mounting or recognize keyboards, gamepads etc etc with micro USB port.

I'm pretty sure that video output would require some hardware support, soas far as I know that won't be possible.
I don't know about using the USB for external devices, but if they ever figure out the "magic number" it should be possible via Bluetooth.

MHL is pretty cool .But AFAIK Nook does not have a HDMI out function. B&N would've advertised the **** out of this feature , coz it would have been a great advertising feature .IIRC most 7" tabs lack video output .
USB OTG has not been described as a feature and seems very unlikely .
If the bluetooth module (present but disabled) is unlocked and drivers installed , then BT keyboards, gamepads possible in the distant future .
Hav fun

It is possible to pipe the display signal with software plugin and rebuild in PC via normal USB connector. It works in PSP.

[Q] USB OTG on Desire X

Hi,
does anybody know, whether USB OTG is supported by Desire X? I assume it is not supported by the stock system, but can I expect the support to be added by some custom system?

It stands for USB on the go. It is the ability of the phone to act as USB host. So that you can connect a USB flash drive, keyboard, or mouse... to the phone.
There is an app in Google Play that allows to check your phone's capability of USB OTG or USB Host Mode, but I couIdn't test it with my Desire X, because I don't have any USB peripherals with a micro-usb connector. The app only says there are "classes" found (don't ask me what that means) that seem to support it. I couldn't see anything in the manual about it either.
The One X doesn't even have USB OTG with the kernel it uses now, but they might enable it in a future kernel update (read that somewhere).
Your best bet is to contact HTC support and ask them straight out.
I tested the app.
The Kernel is not supporting USB Hosting. (It`s only a Software issue, i think)
Hopefully the update will bring this feature.
S4 Play on MSM8225 doesn't support OTG. Just go on Qualcomm site and you can see it.
A bit late....
Hahaha I am a bit late on this one, but all aspects of USB OTG are functional on the Desire X w/ stock and some custom roms. This includes storage, keyboard/mouse, gamepads and much much more. Works flawlessly, and better than the Nexus 7 2013 on Stock can manage (no usb storage support!) One of the reasons I switched to CM 11 on my Nexus.

The thing is, USB OTG works only from Android version 4.1 and newer. 4.0 has no OTG support.

OTG USB Keyboard/Mouse/Pad support

Has anyone tried running keyboards, mouse or gamepads with JellyBean?
I don't have OTG Cable and I can't test any device, but if someone have tested it with the JB update can talk about it here and let the others Desire X's users know
I've tried mouse and usb flash drive. Both work just fine

mouse works fine!
I will buy a OTG cable soon. I would try to test any gamepad device, I have two 360 Controller (one wired, one wireless with respective receiver). I read from somewhere in xda that now it's possible to connect wireless receiver to Android... well, I swear that our DX can support it too! It will be great for emulators like ePSXe...
Does it support USB 2.5 inch harddisks as well? Did anyone test? I will buy an otg cable soon, too, so I would like to know if it works...
well, Joysticks and Controller does'nt work for me
but Flash Drive, Keyboard, Mouse Does
although USB OTG is Very CHEAP
Costed me 30 INR or $0.55
Did you download any app? And what ROM are you using?

I suppose that usb HDD without external AC input won't work, I think that Desire X's usb doesn't have enough power for that.

Just got a usb harddrive to work using external power. It's ntfs formatted, so I used Paragon NTFS mount from Play Store. The drive itself doesn't have a power supply, but I connected a USB Y-power cable to it and plugged in the other side to my laptop. Will try a mobile USB charger as well as soon as I'll get one.

But the xbox controller in the video is a wired one, mine is like the one attached in the photo, wireless controller with Windows receiver (also, mine is a third party receiver). Also I tried with others USB PC adapters I have, like one N64+PSX to usb and another one that is 2 PSX/2 controllers to USB, and don't work on it. If I can, I will try on a Xperia Ray and look if it works on it...

[Q] Ereader+bluetooth-dongle+bluetooth keyboard?

The (E-ink) Onyx Boox c65 runs android 2.3. (can't link, I'm new user)
Would it be possible to connect a bluetooth keyboard via a usb-bluetooth dongle inserted in the Ereader mini usb slot?
Hope this is the right forum

It's impossible. For a USB dongle, you need OTG functionality (USB Host). The Onyx devices don't have it (from a hardware perspective).

No, you need the hardware of the device to support OTG (and then also the kernel) and the hardware of the Onyx C65 does not support it, no matter which cable you use.

OTG support software/app

Hi guys
Im using the 8gig version and im desprate to have an otg support for this phone. Hope you guys can help.
Thanks in advance.
I don't think the kernel supports OTG
Shame on you Sony! Many of users need this function. It is a absolutely basic issue. I hope that one day, one of clever users will find the way to activate this function in our phones.

Yeah, I tried it the other day with a new cable I have (it works well with my Windows Tablet) but nothing I did worked, so Googled it and it seems it isn't supported on the M4.
You can otg support for the sony xperia m4 i guess by tweaking it.I don't know how to get it working
But i know that if we could enable this kernel feature. Then otg will work if we use an otg y cable or powered hub.
Xperia L got otg using a similar method.
Developers please test this out.
We don't have to blame sony we will get it ourself.

My guess is... They over looked it... Somebody in Dev dept in sony was probably slacking off... Its just funny that even those cheap phones nowadays offers otg support.. While sony's mid-range doesn't.

Sony removed otg fearing that the device will short circuit because of being waterproof.
I believe since sony m4 is fully plastic there is a problem with being short circuit unlike Z series.
Waterproof nature of M4 is not as good as Z series although they say ip68.I have seen alot of cases of water damage.
:good:
Sony xperia L had no otg support. but soc supported it.
Only thing was to enable it using the usb otg helper app and use a powered usb hub or otg y cable.
I can't find an otg y cable or powered otg hub. If anyone can find check it out.
Sometimes a custom kernel with otg support enabled might be required. This is developers work.
Otg worked on galaxy A5 2015 edition after using a custom kernel.
better than Z1 for underwater use
yeah i tried the y cable & it didnt work.
whats good about it though is that i took it swimming more times than i could count & still works perfectly. better than my old Z1.

M4 doesn't have usb host enabled. So even a powered otg or y cable won't work until it is enabled.
