Hello .
I have problem with my Galaxy Tab P1000.

i use standard cable and still nothing.
I have kernel P1000-CM9-HumberOS-Kernel-20120307 , system and use apps USB HOST CONTROLLER.
I can upload log files.
I search on forum and i cant find answer.

read around here to get some setup to work

I think you can forget about your cable.
P1000 doesn't supply power to the port, so it will not work.

I connect hub in way in your post but apps stopped on ``invalid USBhost data``.
I connect tablet to hub with external charager, when i connecting cable tablet starts charaging and usb host controller start working, but like i said it stop

actually I have no experience at that.
I was just helping out in pointing to the relevant posts.
Sorry I can't help there.
Maybe you can PM one of the guy with success there?

So someone has connected something to p1000 via usb host with succes ?

HOST USB or USB HDMI Video Card ? Any way to use usb port to use usb devices ?

Usb port is it locked or there is possibility to use it like usb host ?
To manage copy pictures of a camera to phone without pc by usb adaptator.
Samsung talked about usb 2 hdmi cable and think if its real it use some usb video card supported by phone(because of physic material imcompatibily of hdmi nd usb)
May there is a way to dev a tool or hack to get it works...
Aah!! Finally somebody like minded!!
I had been scouring forums for something like this. USB OTG would be an excellent add on to this phone. If not OTG, at least host would be an excellent idea.
No idea whether the existing USB Host driver for Nexus one would work on this one.
The processor on SGS already supports USB Host (not sure about OTG though). This has been pointed out in their press release - w w w .samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/newsView.do?news_id=1043
I am just wondering - should we request Samsung themselves via mass petition to open up this feature on SGS?
some USB devices might be compatible, like the 100/1000 Mbps USB to RJ45 plugs
those same ones works in Windows Mobile it should work as well for Android, however a driver will be required.
mouse and keyboard support should work out of the box
external USB keys for storage, or even USB mass storage devices should work out of the box as well.
usb audio... hmm... not sure what else at the moment
Hi AllGamer
Thanks for the reply. So how exactly do we get this going on SGS?
I am much more interested in having USB HDD support on SGS (hopefully without an ext power source - am I asking for too much? ).
Are you suggesting that the N1 fix should work here also? Can somebody help us with a "How To" to enable this on SGS?
Cheers!!

you can plug in any USB mass storage devices (USB hard drives) and it should work.
However, you might not get enough power from the usb port, you'll still need need power cord for your external usb hard drive.
I know on my HTC windows phones works like that, it should be the same for Android.
I'll try that when i get a chance.
you just a need a USB female to a mini USB male cable
yep!! you are right about power!!! I am trying to get a cable - hopefully in couple of weeks should have this.
but I am wondering if all this would work without proper drivers in it. Would SGS have USB HDD drivers in it already?

I can see one problem, You will only be able to use Fat32 drives unless someone compiles NTFS / HFS+ into the kernel. Ext3/4 is already done so I don't see many problems. What I recommend you do is get some sort of adaptor for Female USB > Micro USB and test it out with a flash stick or you can hack one .
Yeah - I understand the difficulties of having NTFS support outside the MS world.
I didnt know that ext3/4 were already a part of the kernel!! Is this by default available in all Android kernels?
For USB Host cable - I am guessing that this one can be used - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250671106072 (same as what Sven used for N1 USB Host capabilities).
But I seriously doubt plug and play would work (that would be too much of an expectation! )
Does any body have that cable here, who can check out if SGS does actually work in USB Host/OTG mode?
Sven has try with a Galaxy another Host Driver

Hm what can we do with these files?
However, any news about this?
Maybe, we could ask some Galaxy S kernel developers about this.

You need a USB Host to go cable - they are pretty cheap off of ebay.
USB hard drives don't always work - at minimum you will need a powered hub.

i know wht USB on the means but how do i enable it. i have tried connecting with a pendrive with the help of the USb on the cable but it does not show .
Once you plug your on the cable in the phone will inform you that usb connecter s connected. Whatever you plug in at the other end of otg cable work run unless it is not supported.

Just plug it in and look in My files. It will show as usbstorage.
I have an official samsung OTG cable, it works fine on the SGS2, but doesn't appear on the Galaxy Note under usbstorage.
Anyone else out there having similar problems?
i had grab some ebay OtG but after unmount and remove the OTG it causes wakelock which drain alot of juice.
I am also facing problems with OTG . when i plug in the cable thr is not msg nor anything happens in phone. please could any one tell me how to enable it may be with kernel or custom rom or may be anything else.
I also want to know this as well,I have spent considerable time yesterday trying to make this work but no luck at all,I would appreciate if someone could help,as I have seen a video in this forum where the guy was able to.connect a mouse to it stating that it is supported out of the box.
I was able to get it to work with a pendrive and a mouse with no problems, but I couldn't get a keyboard or my 2.5" external drive to mount.
Details:
My OTG cable was from DealExtreme for $2.30 or something.
My pendrive was FAT32 formatted.
My mouse was a basic $10 optical one.
My 2.5" external was NTFS, which probably goes some way to explaining why it didn't work even when I gave it some extra power from my desktop PC too.
My keyboard was a standard USB. I also tried a Logitech keyboard with a wireless USB dongle but that didn't work either.
I watched a whole film off my pendrive with no issues. I messed around with the mouse a bit, but the cursor moved too slowly for my taste and the scroll wheel didn't scroll webpages, which is half the reason I'd plug a mouse in anyway.

If you get no message when the cable is plugged in on it's own, chances are it is a problem with the cable. I bought a cable of Ebay which didn't work, so I bought a different one and that did.

Usb port problem

Hello, i've been trying to connect my pendrive to a usb frontal port and it seems to not work. It says error 43 (Unknown device). This is weird because i've connected the pendrive to the other usb frontal port( i have two ) and it works perfectly.
I've been searching throught the internet and found solutions such as uninstalling all the usb driver that can be found at Device Manager, but It didnt work.
Something that i've noticed is that if i connect my phone(GS4) with the usb cable that it came with the phone to the usb port that is not working properly, the computer doesn't recognize the device(Same unknown device and code 43) but it seems to charge it.
I don't know what to do anymore, tried my best. Maybe my usb port is death.
Anyone knows a solution for this?
Thanks in advance.

Help cant get usb host working

Hi for some reason i cant get usb host to work,
But the thing is that my devices are being powered but not detected on Android.
Also i have a "7 Nook HD with Cyanogen Mod 11 so it should work right?.
Did you enable USBHost (using Verygreen's USB Host Switcher app linked at his CM10.1 thread's OP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41024398&postcount=1)?
Yes i used that and a whole bunch of different apps and roms but they wont work.
Also the app on the screen is the USBHost Switcher App.
Edit:
i also used the nook color with cm7 and usb host worked.
Ok this morning i tried connecting my usb device again and when i pressed the button to enable usb host it worked and
i was able to use my usb device then it said it disconnected because i had another app for usb host that does that.
also could it be my cord?.
I never could get my nookhd to recognize usb either.
I am running verygreen's kernel 3.0.31 -hummingbird-green+ jun 13 2013
cyanogen 10.1
i have usb storage in storage menu as well as apps that can mount devices and storage. I also have the usbhostswitcher app as well as another one I found on here that helps for this.
I have the female to female adapter...yet no signs of it working whether I connect a mouse, usb flash drive, etc. I bought the adapter from the ebay link from verygreen post and ordered another one from diff seller today just in case...
Any thing I need besides the apps? Also anyone get a usb - to - ethernet adapter to work for this nook?
thank you all for any input

Htc desire 626s usb otg capabilities?

Hi, i recently rooted my phone and used the Post in the forums to do so, here is a pic of the kernal and all that. My question is why can i still not use my otg? Downloaded host diag, checker, helper, nothing is working. Can someone please tell me where to go from here? There are spaces so i could post the url.
http ://i63. tinypic. com/24ys9z5. jpg
seems kernel doesn't have the driver for it also the phones board doesn't supply power to the cable so you would need a y cable to supply power. Im still waiting for HTC to post the kernel source so I can make the modifications I need to it. It's been almost a month since they said they elevated my request for the source to their dev team if its not posted in a week I'm going to write them again.
There is a app I saw the other day called "stick" something that enabled phones with no otg support to use one. It was in a YouTube video about must have root apps , sorry I couldn't help more than this. I did order an otg cable after watching it.
Ok, ill look to see if it works
Nope. Still won't work. Power must be supplied for it to be registered to the phone.
E]Well i bought a powered otg y cable plug in usb portto charger the other end to my phone and the other to my usb 128gb.. nothing
still diesnt detect but it does on my samsung . So it must be the phone not the cable

I had no luck with a powered Y-cable either. I got OTG to work with my XT894 only after connecting a powered USB hub to my OTG cable, then connecting a USB flash drive to the hub.
