Hi there!
I've got this cable:
Black Color Micro USB 3.0 9Pin OTG Host Flash Disk Cable with USB Power for Samsung Galaxy Note3 N9000
http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00IWEFNQ2/ref=pe_386430_30332290_TE_3p_dp_1
Looks like when I connect battery to OTG, the power goes to external drive only, not to SGP.
I am a bit confused. OTG doesn't let me connect both Passport drive and power battery at the same time.
I never used OTG with power connection before.
Should it work like that or something wrong?..
Hi,
Yes, that is how this OTG w/USB Power works.. as you can see the "USB Power" comes out of the USB Host connection (not the 9Pin Micro USB plug), so therefore the USB power is for powering the USB drive or device you are connecting to the Samsung Device... this is generally used for USB Hard Drives that require extra power to turn them on, etc.
If you wanted to have a USB Drive plugged into your NotePro and also Charge the NotePro you would need something with the USB Power coming from the USB 9Pin connector. I do not believe such a cable exists or is possible... but I could be wrong.
Thanks for clarification, Leighm0. I suspected that...

Is it possible, on way or another to connect USB devices to the BA?
SDIO doesn't seem to be possible since the power is too low.
Any other possibilities, i would like to connect my USB 802.11g WiFi adapter to it (it has windows mobile drivers).
I also read somewhere about a Sync 'N' Charge cable, does that do anything?

Thanks
From device discription it looks that the the cable support USB host. but i m not sure How the BA get 4.5v to run the usb devices.
The cable has a power input.
will the normal charger is applicable to that input?? cause there is no power adaptor with the cable.
if the normal charger fits that port, i will definetely order that, just as a spare charger part, because i highlz doubt to get the ba as a usb host, and if it worked at all, then only with proper drivers and also probably just with power connected, i don't see a connection with any usb storage stick, but as mentioned before, i will give it a try, as soon as i know about shipping to germany.
Are p500 hardware support USB OTG ?

usb otg
Not working out of the box.
My setup:
"manufactured" otg cable
usb hub
usb cable from an external hdd (with two big USB connectors)
Connected the manufactured otg cable to phone, the Y usb hdd cable connected to the computer for power and to the manufactured usb otg cable and also to the usb hub.
In dmesg I get something about OTG going into low power mode, but nothing about the usb hub connected or about the usb keyboard connected to the usb hub. Just as connecting the charger.
I do not know if this is fixable. (kernel modules or something).
as a note, I used that Y cable in order to provide power to the USB, as the phone apparenly does not provide any power (if using only the diy otg cable the usb hub does not power).
With the power provided from the computer (the second USB plug on the Y cable has only the power pins connected, not the data pins) the usb hub powers up but it is not recognised by the phone, and the phone starts charging (power flows from the computer tot the USB hub and to the phone) but does nothing else.
I built a USB host cable:
I disassembled the normal PC-> Archos cable and added an additional cable that makes it USB Host cable.
Description:
http://beyondthekeeboard.wordpress....-android-pt-2-making-your-own-usb-host-cable/
I now have:
Micro USB-B to USB-A-male-Hostcable
and
USB-A female to USB-A female adapter
I plugged in three mice:
Logitech MX500 (LED on)
Logitech M-UAG120 (LED on)
Microsoft Intellimouse optical (LED OFF)
Unfortunately I cant see a mouse on the screen, reboot with plugged mouse doesnt help.
Does this mean the mouse is not recognized as HID device?
2 of the 3 mice have the LED on, so power is there.
USB Sticks also don't work, although on some the Leds are on.
How are they added to the file system?
Which folder do I have to search for?
Furthermore:
Is the modded cable useable for PC to Archos connection?
Archos 70IT 8Gb
Urukdroid 1.5.1 OC kernel
Same results
I tried the same thing. In fact I believe I even followed that same article. I modified several usb cables to function as host cables and couldn't get any of them to work on my Archos 32. I eventually just ordered an actual host cable for a couple bucks and it worked perfect. I suspect it has something to do with the shape of the micro a connector being needed to make a proper connection.
It will not work, the host conector is different to the PC one, sorry
I bought a Nokia CA-157 cable, it is working now
Hi,
Having just tried female to female usb connected to the oem usb cable by samsung, was hoping it will be able to connect and detect a flash or external drive but it did not.
So the question is this, since a usb is universal, would it be because of the oem cable or missing support from the kernel?
Even if power is supplied through, nothing was detected but power and it started to charge.

Good to see that, as it should be handled by the o/s...
USB Host mode?
Seen a youtube video introduced a special usb dongle as an accessory which turns the microusb port into usb host mode and it will allow keyboard and various other devices to be connected.
Seems like it is not a usb host port on its own.
You need a USB cable that supports OTG. You can get one for a few bucks from Amazon. The kernel already supports attaching all kinds of USB devices, so just make sure you have the right cable.
I have a freeview TV adapter plugged into my note 3. Problem is I can't charge it so I have to stop watching TV and wait until its charged. Can I get anything like a micro USB hub. I've seen a few but they are only regular USB ports and not USB micro which I need for my devices. Thanks in advance.
I have MHL to HDMI adapter which hooks up to TV and to a phone charger (other side goes to phone) so it is possible, but I can't say if usb hub would work, since I have not test it.
You can connect a regular USB hub to your micro usb to usb OTG adapter. I tried connecting both a mouse and a keyboard to the hub and it works fine
USB hub won't allow you to charge the device while they are connected. you can either use MHL to HDMI cable as Pete4k advice and enjoy MHL 2.0 while charging or buy one of those USB OTG adapter reader but where you can connect several peripherals and charge at the same time.
