hey guys! does anyone tried this functions on razr i?
theres no wifi direct option...
havent tried otg
No USB-OTG @stock. If I plug and USB stock, nothing appends
Maybe with something like Stickmount
About Wi-Di, as it's an Intel Device, maybe can we hope some support on day. I don't know if the Medfield SoC is WiDi compliant.
The Lenovo K800 is WiDi, no reason that the Razr i will no be..
I am so longing for USB OTG.... can't wait to use DSLR Controller with this cell phone.
:/
Maybe Motorola will release a ROM that includes USB Host functionality?

Mmmh, still no USB OTG with JB.... dammit
I've heard OTG doesn't work because the razr I as it doesn't output any power and usb devices need power, I have ordered a lead which has a separate lead to supply power to the usb device and I'll update when I receive it and have tested.

So the lead came and to my sadness doesn't work for my razr I :'(
I was looking forward to that too

I'm currently using an powered OTG cable to connect my mouse and keyboard on my xt890.
the pen drive is not working im gonna test some mods on that,
OTG is working but only devices like mouse, keyboard, pad etc. USB drives doesn't work cause kernel has no option for that. To use OTG You need to connect devices through powered USB hub.

For WifFi Direct you can use this app : SuperBeam
Cheers
I tried it but failed to connect with Galaxy Mini II.
Did you switch on your WiFi ? Even for me it works only on certain devices but most of the time I forget to turn on the WiFi.
Yes I did. :/ It fails starting to transfer file.
Hmm. That's weird. Maybe you could try their IP Address method. I'll have to get back to you later because I don't a spare android smartphone. If it works I'll give you a description of what to do. Maybe its the new upate that's causing it. You could also try an older version of the app.
I managed to connect via USB OTG a samsung dvd drive to my nexus 7 using nexus media importer app. you have to toggle the dvd drive to AV mode otherwise this wont work.
see demo on my youtube upload http://www.youtube.com/my_videos_edit?ns=1&show_mt=1&video_id=yvoyab75QgQ
this should work for all android devices if your device has usb otg support. so if the nexus 10 has usb otg support it should work for the nexus 10 as well!
see uploads too if interested here http://www.youtube.com/user/veryannoyingname/videos?flow=grid&view=0 and cast an eye on my play lists too http://www.youtube.com/user/veryannoyingname/videos?flow=grid&view=1
hope you like my uploads and play lists. if you like my uploads please share them too with your friends too.
have a nice day

Have you considered the problem of continuation of the battery if you use a USB DVD drive?
Have you managed to play an entire DVD that way? I can't even get a movie on a memory stick to play more than 15 minutes with this setup.

They do make successful Y cables for just such a scenario

i have used the device to play video files and also for wireless back up. back up is slow but that feature was just a bonus. mainly interested in playing files off flash drives attached to it wirelessly. havent used it to play full dvd but will check it one of these days and get back here. i mainly used it while travelling during our holiday and havent used it much since. will check it out and get back.
I have NP watching a movie off the flash drive using otg.

AW: DVD drive connects to nexus 7 via USB OTG
Why is it exactly that seemingly it is not possible to integrate a CD/DVD driver into Android??
The XDA people can do SO much, why can't anyone port an ISO-9660 filesystem driver for USB from Linux???
I have an old external dvd writer (CompUsa) lying in storage that I hooked up to my Nexus 7 and the app Nexus Media importer recognizes it too.
But that is where it all stops and nothing else going forward since holding down the eject button for a while does nothing to this generic dvd-writer to make the necessary FAT32 transition.
File manager is also able to see it in dev/usb but since there is no way to convert the file systems am unsure as to how to proceed without a driver for android.
Knew it would not work and thought I will just put it up here if anyone can think of any work around.
Only a drive that can do av mode can work. If your drive works when connected to your tv via usb then it should work with your nexus too using the app.
I have managed to go one step further where NMI asks for which partition I wish to use. However the single named partition does not do anything when clicked. The name however offers some insight. It says 7.7 GB - CD/DVD drives only supported in AV Connect mode. However I do not know how to switch the Reader/NMI (I do not know which must have its mode changed.) To this AV connect mode. I am using a VicTsing DVD Reader/Writer.

Can anyone tell me if my HTC One (FW 4.3, rooted and fully chraged) can be used with more than one mounted device at a time ?
My aim is to mount a CF card reader and a portable HDD, so I can transfer photos (RAWs) from the reader directly to the HDD.
I've bought a powered USB 3 hub and downloaded the "Nexus Media Importer" app.
But, I'm unable to make 2 devices show at once. Even if I try 2 USB sticks.
All the devices will show up individually, but not when more than one device is connected.
I've connected the USB hub to my PC and it works perfectly.
I'm not sure if the problem is the app or if the phone can't handle mounting 2 or more devices.
Thank you for any help.
Anyone ?
So far I have been unsuccessful in mounting an external OTG drive with my N6. Has anyone been able to use an OTG drive? If so, can you help me figure out why I cant seem to get mine (multiple drives) to be recognized? I don't have an issue with it being recognized in other devices with Lollipop.
I'm getting frustraded with the same exact issue....also what about mhl adapter?
I'm getting frustraded with the same exact issue....also what about mhl adapter support? Has anybody gotten usb otg and or an mhl afapter to work with tge nexus 6 yet? If wo can you list the specifics of how it was achieved, thanks.
I don't think the stock kernel supports OTG. Just wait till someone releases a custom kernel that supports it (hopefully).
What about mhl adapters? Chromecast works great for screen mirroring but sometimes its easier and more convenient to use mhl.
Everything I've seen, mhl and slimport are confirmed not supported
If you have to do it ....chromecast is 25$ at Walmart black Friday sale

Confirmed working for me as well. If you're not rooted, you can try "Nexus Media Importer". That's worked for me in the past on devices that were bone stock.
I was able to use ES file explorer to see USB content. Just swipe right, press local and it should show a USB device. This was on an unrooted N6

I got a keyboard to work with my USB otg cable
I got a flash drive working via USB OTG, but only through ES File Explorer, Solid Explorer didn't recognize the flash drive. Has to be formatted as FAT32 or NTFS, exFAT didn't work.
I'm going to give Stickmount a try to see if other apps will recognize flash drives.
I'm using Stickmount with Root Explorer. Works fine with an exFAT formatted usb thumb drive.

meant to reply yesterday and say this It also works I agree. cant wait until its in a kernel
I'm not rooted and was able to get OTG working using the Nexus Media Importer app. ES File Explorer could see the USB connection, but wouldn't see the files on the drive for me.

Nexus Media Importer worked just fine after a reboot, and it allows for reading usb device files, not sure about writing to usb but I only needed to read them, thanks. I'm not rooted btw.
Stickmount was the key!!! Thanks!
64gb external storage!!! Woohoo! TiBu has a new home! Now to see if recovery can see it...
BTW, I am rooted, just looking for a place to store backups and sneaker net files in and out...
I have been using this with my Nexus 5/6... I forgot how much I paid but well worth the money with a cheap OTG cable.

Hi guys,
Does the N6 need a Y-cable for extra power like the Nexus 4 did or it's a simple USB to microUSB connection? I have such a Y-cable from my N4 period and I was wondering whether I need to connect the extra power or not. Reason is I don't seem to get the usb otg working fully:
So, I can see the drive's contents through ES File Explorer but not through MortPlayer (folder music player). Whatismore, the drive does not show up in "Storage" after my SD as it did in my Nexus 4 so I am guessing it's not fully "mounted" ? My main reason behind using usb otg is playing music from my usb flash but my favorite player (MortPlayer) does not seem to pick up the drive as it did on the Nexus 4.
I am rooted and I use Sticmount to mount the flash drive... any ideas?
Just wondering what methods you are using?
Quick and dirty cable? If you don't have one are you using Airdroid or another app? Bluetooth? I like Airdroid personally as its simple to flip that switch and connect to it.

usually i send it to mysrlf via the air or ill upload it to my ftp, then download via n6. rarely i will use a cable, but will. bluetooth i sent some photos from one phone to my n6, and it worked. but that was only once.
I use an app called "WiFi File Transfer".

WiFi direct connection in combination with ES file Explorer. Most easy way for non geeky user like friends...

OTG-Usb with a small microsd adapter. It is the size of about three quarters in a stack.
Depends what I'm doing. If I'm transferring all data off and back on again, ill use a cable, otherwise ill connect my file manager (solid explorer) to a samba share on my NAS
I have a jump drive that contains two folders in it. One for my N6 and the other for my N7. Both folders I keep updated with different types of content. Stickmount pro and on otg cable and good to go! I'll do this to transfer between the to devices as well.
Send it to or copy it from my NAS
Best way is to run ssh+sftp server on your phone, then you actually have proper access to it.
Go ahead... have at it

I use an app called "Software Data Cable". It's wireless using WIFI or I use SanDisk Ultra 64GB Micro USB 2.0 OTG Flash Drive For Android Smartphone/Tablet ...it's pretty awesome
