Camera (DSLR or PnS) connects to Note..is it possible?

Hi guys!
As we all know..there is a adapter for ipads to connect to a usb/card adapter to our cameras to view or even transfer photos over on the go.
Wonder is there a way to connect it via OTG cable?
meaning to say directly from the camera's port --------> OTG cable ----------> Samsung Note.
possible?
Hope to hear from u guys soon!

Why not ? I connect it all the time. Just you have to use proper cabling to make it use. They will be in Mass Storage mode from which you can transfer things you want to

[Q] Usb storage not working

I have an samsung galaxy mini s5570 with cm7 .
This has started happening from yesterday . When I connect my phone to the computer , it charges but the usb mass storage doesn't comes up . Instead a message pops up on my pc saying that " Windows can't recognize the usb device " .
One more thing -
The coating of my usb wire has come out a bit in the middle and I can see the red and green wires in between . But as my phone is charging when connected to the pc I doubt that is going to be an problem , right ?
So what do you guys think is wrong with my cell or my pc ?

Perhaps it's the wire, being able to charge doesn't necessarily mean that u can transfer data. Try to use another wire, or another usb port. Also check that u have the Samsung usb driver installed in your computer. It should not be a problem with your phone.

Download dual mount sd from market and use the widget if there isn't a hardware problem then it will work for sure.

Galaxy tab p1000 and USB Mouse

Hi guys.. i've searched around how to make works usb host on our p1000.. i've tryed several roms and now i've cyanogenmod 9.1.0 since it support usb host and it works with Y cable!
now.. i'm using a self powered usb HUB.. connected to tablet through an usb female to female adaptor and official Samsung data cable.
so.. i've downloaded "Usb Host Controller" app, under "setting" tab i've selected "usb host mode" and now under "USB" tab i can see 2 devices ("1-1 USB2.0 Hub" and "1-1.4 USB2.0 Hub"). When i plug in an usb Stick (2gb) i'm able to mount it and browse through File manager with no issue.. but when i plug on hub an usb mouse.. tablet doesn't recognize it in any way! the mouse optical light turn on and turn off after a few second.. i've tried with two different usb mouse without success!
Any suggestion?

Hi.. i'm using official CyanogenMod 9.1 Stable ICS with kernel inside.. nothing special to do.. just download "USB Host Controller".. switch to host mode.. then plug your selfpowered usb hub or an Y-Cable with a power connection, since our tab doesn't provide enough energy from 30-pin port! but only USB Stick work for me.. nothing to do with other devices like mouse or keyboard.. for screenshot i can post it tomorrow!:good:

Hi, are you just using the standard samsung cable? AFAIK, usb otg cable must be used. Anyway I will wait for the screenshot and if possible a photo of your setup. Thanks

Greetings from the Philippines

Which exact version are you using to use OTG properly? I tried "sgt7-10.1-20130224-HumberOS-p1" but couldnt use mouse or anything. BTW I am using a Connection Kit with USB and card readers as a OTG device.
Thanks in advance.

Do not use usb connection kit. Just use the standard charging/data cable, y cable, 2 usb gender changer and the tab's charger.

Do not use usb otg cable as well. Y cable usually comes as accessory when you buy portable hdd.
Kindly see this post.

First of all thank you for your answers. Is this the configuration then:
1 Y cable (2 male, 1 female), 1 gender changer (2 female inputs), 1 tablet charger cable (1 30pin input, 1 male USB)
I guess that I should connect 1 male input of Y cable to tablet charger, the other male to gender changer. The remaining input of the gender changer will be connected to Tablet with its charger cable. Female input of the Y cable is left for mouse, USB memory, etc... If this is a true set up, could you please tell me what exact version of Android, kernel, etc you are using. The link of the ROM (CM9, CM10, etc) will be very appreciated.
Thanks again.

Hello @nogo8888
i've read your previous posts that you have experienced using USB OTG with mouse and keyboard functional on your Tab?
I own P-1000 either and already installed the latest ROM from HumberOS (that's the 06-2013 update) and trying to mount my devices such as keyboard and USB mouse, with USB Host Controller (by sztupy) but i have no result.
if you don't mind please kindly help.
Thanks for advance, greetings from Indonesia

hi
the best way for mouse and keyboard use the Bluetooth mouse and keyboard

USB OTG on stock rom issue.

Bought 2 USB OTG cable a few days ago but I've been unable to get it work. The moment I plug it into my HTC One, a "Unable to charge device. Please use the supported charger" error. 2 different USB OTG cables, same error. Bought at different times after I couldnt get the first cable to work.

I'm having the exact same issue... I have 2 cables which both work with my Nexus 7 without any problems what's so ever. Does anyone know if there is an "official" cable from HTC or is there some kind cable standard which has to be adhered to, so it works?

I just got a cheap usb otg cable from eBay, works fine for me. What size drives are you trying to mount?

The Stock Kernel doesnt support NTFS or ExFat... u have to format to FAT32 to get otg to work...
Maybe there will be a kernel with ntfs or exfat support someday...

There can be problem with your pen drive. Cause i had lived the same problem. My sd card works in pc but not in phone. I tried using my mouse or another disc with OTG cable and they worked.

The stock HTC kernel has a whitelist that module blocks OTG access when a certain limit is reached like required voltage by the accessory in order to work. Custom kernel now has this disabled so you might want to check that if you want. But if you prefer stock kernel I suggest you guys look for low powered USB drives instead. Cable alone won't have any issues at all with compatibility.
The main issues are the filesystem type & the electrical current required by the USB drive or any device you want to use for OTG.
The charger notification is a bug and might get fixed soon by HTC but it won't have any effects on OTG itself. It's just the kernel mistakenly identify the OTG device as a charging mechanism.

one from amazon, and 2 from ebay, worked great on my HTC ONE S... and samsung galaxy s3, on my HTC ONE, the freeze up, lock up, i dont even try it anymore.
yeh, i also get the charging thing error...
i believe the one i bought also said for google nexus... i use 32gb...

How does that 4gb stick work is that like a usb flash drive you can use with the One?

Ok, so what about charging phone while connecting something by otg? Is it works on non-stock kernels?

Without any usb thumbdrives attached to the otg cable, the moment I connect the otg to my One, the error pops up. Later connecting the thumb drive to the cable does nothing. Es file explorer does not detect nor does mount usb drive light up (remains greyed out).
Tried connecting the usb drive first and then connecting both to my phone and does detect either. So yeah, I guess might have to buy another usb drive ?

i had the same problem, but....
I was very dissapointed because my htc one could not find the otg usb! I started deleting almost all downloaded software from my device and cleared cash! Then restarted my phone and... Voila! It works! To be honest, i didn't find out the problem, but it works!

[Q] how to connect usb hdd 500gb to z1

hi i have external sata hdd i want to connect this to my z1 is it possible if yes please tell me how can i do this ?

Do you have a SATA HDD or an HDD with an eSATA Port?
If you have a SATA HDD you could try using an external USB Case and connect it over USB-OTG. If you have the latter it won't work without additional hardware (e.g. a Notebook with eSATA Port)

i have sata hdd with external usb case which i try to connect with my data cable but nothing happen any suggestions or any way to do that ?

It should work...
One questions first:
What Filesystem is present on that HDD? Preferable would be ExFAT. NTFS _could_ work, but i don't know that for sure.
Second:
After you've connected the HDD to your device via USB-OTG cable you should go to Settings --> Storage. Down at the bottom should be a point wich let's you mount your external USB device. After that, it should be available for r/w.

actually i tried with our data cable which we use for connect mobile to lappy not usb otg if it must usb otg i will buy new and try :good:

how'd you manage to do that? should'nt be possible through different genders on the connectors...
The only way i can imagine to connect those two devices without messing with the connector is a NAS-Storage. Those are Harddisks available from IP Networks (e.g. Western Digital MyBook).
Those devices have the proper port to connect your smartphone with itself. Well atleast physically.
Those ports on NASes are for output only (mainly). You can connect a printer to make the printer capable of networking. But connecting a smartphone on that port won't work since it isn't designed for such things. All you could do is mount your internal Storage as Mass Storage over USB (not MTP) and use your smartphone as network share. But browsing through the files on the HDD will still not work because of a lack of connection between the real harddisk and the usb port.

You must also connect an external.power source, the USB otg doesn't give enough cureemt to power ir up.

There are splitted USB cables one you can connect to power line like a computer or adaquate USB charger andthe other to the phone...

Free option is flashing doom kernel with boosted power output of the USB port. That COULD work, but it doesn't have to. Make sure you're using passive USB connectors that you're using. Ergo - it's just a regular USB cable and no additional software needs to be installed.
Try the USB otg helper from Google play too. It might also fix it.
