[Q] Attach USB mouse to Galaxy Tab - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is going to sound uber-noob, and yes it is, but I have been trying to attach USB mouse to my G10.1 using USB dongle. It currently has AOKP b.36.. and yeah, I can't seem to get it to work. USB does recognize it, but no function of the mouse appears to be working.. Halp?

(Q) can I use MHL HDMI adapter via 30 pin galaxy tab to micro USB adapter

Hi ,
I wanted to use my galaxy s2 MicroUsb HDMI MHL adapter and OTG USB cable with Galaxy tab "7" with this 30 pin galaxy tab to micro USB adapter.
Any help regarding usb host and hdmi capabilities will be appreciated.
HDMI is supported via Samsung Media Dock. Could have googled for that. There is no listed USB OTG support listed for it, but there is a Keyboard for it, which could be indicative of UDB OTG support, at least of a proprietary nature. Both of these accessories require the standard charging cable to provide power during use.

I bought Mhl adapter because i was going to buy galaxy note. Then at the last moment i changed my mind and bought galaxy tab 7 t-mobile. My media dock as also arrived. But still waiting for 30 pin con to mic usb adapter and mini hdmi to hdmi adapter. I will let every body know if any thing is discovered.

As it stands, HDMI is available through the Dock as mentioned, but there is no USB OTG support. Keyboards can be connected to the 30-pin (Samsung keyboard) or through Bluetooth (third-party keyboards).
There was a project to get USB Host support going, but it seems to have stopped. You can try the OTG gear since there are many variants of Tab and many ROMs etc, but I don't think you'll get anywhere with them since the stock software doesn't seem to support anything apart from the Samsung official accessories.
I am working on getting USB OTG working, but it wont happen anytime soon.
You cant just plug in anything that fits and expect it to work. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 30-pin to USB and 30-pin to SD are for that device.
so in conclusion, it never work?
I was thinking of using OTG + USB to RCA cable rather than HDMI...
I am using GT 7.0 plus
see if someone can answer?
is the OTG P1000 USB working on the plus model?
thks!

Usb host Mouse

Hi, I have just got a usb host cable and I works fine for my pen drive but had a few questions to ask.
Is it possible to connect (via usb) Another android phone and access the micro sd from it to transfer files. The HD2 in question charges itself via usb host but enabling mass storage does nothing on the note.
I have tried my gigabyte wireless mouse and logitech wireless keyboard and neither worked. I have a BT keyboard so only really bothered about the mouse tbh.
I'm on the. Latest rocketrom.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

The Note has native support for HID's like keyboards and mice via both Bluetooth and USB. However, when it comes to USB, the more basic the device, basically, the closer to true plug-n-play a device is, the more likely it is to work. Also, with regard to wireless keyboards and mice, depending on the power requirements of the tranceiver, those may or may not work either.
An interesting thing to point out is that USB hub's work fine. So if you have a powered USB hub, you could theoretically plug in a USB keyboard and mouse, and an external HDD (as long as it's in a compatible format!).

Hi
Have red around somewhere: On Android 2.3.5 the USB host function worked, but it was taken away on version 2.3.6. This is for the extended USB host functions. I have an OBD-adapter to connect with my cars computer and it needs this extended function. Likewise, there are Apps that can remote control digital cameras and also see "live view" from the camera.
I have 2.3.6 and USB pens are working and my compact camera work (in PC modus), I can read and copy files. When I try my external hard drive it won't work. Haven't tried with external power to it. (An alternative could be to use an USB-hub with external power to it. Haven't tried this yet.
I have understood that when you get to version 3.1/3.2 the extended USB host functions will work again, and also the ICS version 4.0. I'm excitingly waiting for an upgrade...
I have the original USB-adapter from Samsung
Not all USB pens or hard drives will be supported, as earlier mentioned...

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!

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.

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

It does not work on the smt210r
I can't find anything saying the 8 does you are in luck it seems the devs are having better luck with the 8 over the 7 or 10 as the 8 has working recovery it will likely get a custom rom that enables it.
I think it's because T311 is SGS2 on steroid. They share the same exynos & mali400. Anyway, thanks for replying.

Tested, and this cable works great with the 8 & 10. DOESN'T WORK ON THE 7!
Will need the nexus media importer app if not rooted to read external drives.
Hope this helps!
I have the original OTG cable from Samsung when I had the GS3. It worked with the first gen Nexus 7, but not the FHD version. It works with my GS4, as well as the Tab 3 8.0 without needing root

Anyway just my newb view of point.

Connect via Bluetooth if it is really a Bluetooth mouse. A 2,4GHz Mouse isn't automatically a Bluetooth mouse.

No, the tablets do not supply enough power through the USB to power external hard drives. You may be able to get hard drives to work using a USB Y adapter and a power supply.

That hub works fine on my Tab 8.4 pro even without external power. With external power, it charges the tablet and powers a portable 2.5" HD.
On by friends Tab 3 7.0, it doesn't work. We tried every plug sequence, power combination. Same is true with HDMI adapter (MHL 2.0). A great HD tv pictures with the 8.4pro (even using just the tablet power). Nothng on the tab3 7.0. Sorry
Thk u Firedog91902 for your answer. hope that future rom resolve this
I tested my tab 3.8 with a variety of setups. It barely has enough power for most but not all thumb drives.
Sometimes a thumb drive will be recognized and mounted , but declared blank or damaged. Its not, but the Tab 3 doesn't have enough power and it doesn't function properly. Add power via y-cable and it works fine..
WIthout external power via a Y cable or powered hub, it cannot power any hard drive. WIth a power adapter it will work with external USB hard drives as long as they are formatted Fat32 and have only 1 partition. NTFS and ExFat for not recognized. There are apps out there that can mount NTFS if you are rooted. I tried a few and they work sometimes and crash sometimes. Since there is no native support for NTFS or ExFat, these app choose a variety of mount point configurations and do not play well with some apps.
using an otg cable on a galaxy tab 3 7.0
A PC store in Spokane wa told me that Samsung locked out otg support on the tab 3 7.0 and full USB support can be turned on in development options or if u have a rooted tab u can manually load the otg drivers through clockwork recovery mod if its in zip format then it should work. I have not tried this yet but as a expert believe it is possible to activate otg support. He said that Samsung do not want People using otg on the first tab 3 7.0 so they locked that function.
