USB-OTG is a go - Anandtech - Nexus 7 General

"Update: I've had many emails and questions about whether USB-OTG (On The Go) is supported on the Nexus 7, and didn't touch on it when I originally hit publish becuause I wasn't entirely sure. I've now confirmed that USB-OTG is supported on the Nexus 7, and works on the current Android 4.1 non-final build that has been sampled. That's encouraging, and I'll test it myself when I get home and to my miniUSB OTG adapter."

Still unconfirmed. He has yet to try it.

From the official guide which is on Google play books free of charge.

The manual just talks about input devices. We're all waiting for confirmation that it also works for storage, ideally without powered hubs along the way.

Well at least it confirms that at least input devices are supported which makes it much more likely that storage might be supported.

someone on reddit emailed google. They confirmed OTG but also confirmed no MHL as everyone else has been stating.
http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/vs2yt/nexus_7_official_google_response_no_mhl_yes_usb/

Just need 3.3V for input devices or even less, so still not for sure. We should see an update to Brian's post this weekend at Anandtech.
Storage has not been confirmed yet as a go. It could be good news it works, bad news you need a power source.
It works in 4.1, but maybe not the device in this case.

Great info here people. Please keep us updated.

Via Anandtech (http://www.anandtech.com/show/6054/google-nexus-7-mini-review) :
Update 2: I've asked for further clarification about what USB-OTG functionality is supported. Using a mouse and keyboard will be supported, and I saw Google using an ethernet to USB adapter over USB-OTG as well. Unfortunately I found out that mounting USB storage will not be supported natively. In addition MHL is not supported.

"Not natively" being the key phrase here...

It's a no for now then...
Now to wait until someone tries it on a rooted tablet...

Does that mean it can be hacked in?

It could once rooted and using StickMount.
But right now we still don't know if it delivers enough power or other issues it may have.

Alright, thanks. I guess I'll stick with my 8GB preorder.

There is already a thread discussing USB-OTG, please continue all further discussion there.

Nope. I never did the pre-order, as I was concerned about some of the security issues (I posted a thread last month about that).
As for pre-order 2, I don't know yet. If I did buy one, it would have to be a PQ screen and I want to see the reviews for that.
I still hope you won't jump ship
G-TAB forum needs you
It looks like the devs have already taken action! Take a look at Rothnic's thread called Eden Plus which has an update.zip package which is basically the stock ROM with root access and the Google Apps added.
Fantastic. Thank you, ssmithri. I've added the [REF] tag.

[Q] Usb OTG and MHL?

sorry for my english ...
I want to know if the Moto X supports USB OTG and MHL?
I use otg every now and then, I don't know about mhl because the only one I have is an old Samsung one.

Aun updates on this one?
I think OTG is supported but I really want to know if MHL works and if I need any special adapter or just any I get from eBay or DX should work.
I'm about to get one of these babes next week.
Noone's trying this?
The other day I used a OTG cable and connected a pendrive. It didn't work and I didn't have time to try some app
I've used OTG with the Meenova. Works great. Automounts as /storage/usbdisk_1.1.1 for some reason. It mounts READ ONLY by default. Root users can modify this (search for the thread about using Titanium Backup to backup to the Meenova for details).
I'll Try MHL tonight and let you know...
MHL is not supported on our Moto X - use Miracast instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2425216
The "MHL Consortium" site doesn't list any Motorola products as compatible: http://www.mhltech.org/productlist/mobile-devices/
The PDF link is currently dated Oct-18-2013: http://www.mhltech.org/WorkArea/DownloadAsset.aspx?id=5055
Since I don't currently have any Miracast supported viewing devices, I can't answer to how well that works...
My TV supports WiFi direct "Screen share" but Miracast doesn't work. Believe it's on the TV's side as I can sen and recieve the invite either way, and connect. But the TV never shows up under the "Displays" screen. Working with LG (giving them a hard time) to release a firmware update since it's 99% there. Might have to get a dong though.....

Anyway, I was curious about this myself; I had a N4 before I got the moto x and was in the market for either a slimport or miracast adapter.

Lol...I had to! Yeah, I'm hoping they release a firmware update to fix it. LG has been pretty good with updates to fix some of the little issues. And the fact they are pushing it big on all their newer TV's. Gonna give it awhile, hopefully I won't be force to by a dong.:laugh:
Possibilities?
Has anyone tried another conector possibilities?
I'am traveling, so i can't test right now at my home...

Desktop mode?

Has anyone gotten desktop mode working? I haven't been able to with any adapter that worked with my mate 10 pro...
Yeah works using a cheap Amazon usb c to hdmi for me..
Yep, cheapest USB-HDMI that I could find on Amazon worked fine.
Yep £10 adapter from Amazon works a charm although one thing I've noticed is that Excel/Word will not work on there without a 365 licence which is a little annoying.
I got it working using an amazon adaptor but the quality of the picture is very suspect for me. Looking at some really nice photos I have taken on there doesn't do them any justice really.

It's most likely because you're viewing on a 1080/4K monitor and not the phones native resolution which is what it outputs at. (Pretty daft if you ask me) Also someone mentioned if viewing on a TV that changing the input settings of the HDMI to PC improves quality too.

Most of the apps including Microsoft excel mobile do not work in landscape mode in Huawei desktop mode. Not sure what is the plan from Huawei to close the gap of compatibility issue.

Allrighty... Guess I was trying to be too fancy by using USB C docks. Though they worked on the Mate.

I wanted to do something like this, so that the phone gets docked into an already setup dock (HDMI/USB Mouse Keyboard) rather than just plugged in to a wire. But couldn't see anything that would fit the bill. Considering making something myself to solve the problem
I'm using something similar to this
https://www.amazon.co.uk/ARKTEK-Cha...F8&qid=1525091973&sr=8-24&keywords=usb+c+hdmi
and thinking of modifying this
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Youbeautif...=1525092036&sr=1-5&keywords=clear+phone+stand
So would be a case of mounting the USB C port through the bottom of the stand and then fixing the ports themselves to the bottom base of it.

Does Realme X2 Pro Support HDMI Out

Hi There,
Wanting to know if the Realme X2 Pro supports Video Output through the use of a USB-C to HDMI adapter.
Thanks
I just tested it, and it does not work.
From what I understand, it has USB 3.0 and not 3.1 needed for HDMI out.

And here it states it has usb 2.0 usb-c.

I bought one from marktplaats, a Dutch platform where you can buy used products. I use a HP traveldock. It is sadly very bad, as it mirrors your screen and it has an awfull screen ratio. You will have really big black bars on your monitor, giant! Sorry for my late response, but I hope I helped
could you please share url for that specific display link product ?

Question LoD (Linux on DeX)

I'm reading about LoD (Linux on DeX) and i wanted to use it but from what i find online it is discontinued, files don't work on android 11 and there is only the andronix with termux and bVNC or VNC or XSDL or something to play with it.
DeX works as expected, the phone delivers, i would like to know if i can have an optimized version of linux on my S21 ultra, i'd like to know that it can work and not run 2-3 commands each time to make it work.
Usage case, vscode, browsing, docker
Try Andronix, see if it helps.
As i mentioned, there are viable solutions
andronix with termux and bVNC or VNC or XSDL or something to play with it
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
the thing is, i'd like something near native, like LoD was, cause i really want to replace e.g. a chromebook.
i've got screens everyplace i go, and i also have DeX software installed, i can even work without cables.
i'd like to have LoD experience!
Then your only option is to get a phone that still has LoD active (an S9 or S10, I don't remember, that was never updated beyond Android 9).

Thank you for the suggestion, i won't trade my brand new S21 Ultra for a lesser Samsung device.. :-/
And we get somebody here on XDA to mod the LOD app to bypass the Android version.
I have used Andronix and it is okay. It's not the same. Besides getting the app off of APK mirror you can go to archive.org to download the Ubuntu from Samsung.

I already did gather all the original and forked apk, and the images.. but still haven't had the time to get my hands on my S21u, left it at the office yesterday cause i've got a f*** load of data to transfer (about 210gb) from my Oneplus 7 to it.
I'll report my findings and/or results soon.
