Unfortunately it doesn't, at least right now. We're still not sure if it's a hardware limitation or a software one, but maybe in the next few months we will, with the coming of Custom ROMs on top of the unlocked bootloaders.

I'm still inline for buying it, but I guess it depends on your needs and wants
I want a replacement for my Samsung Corby that will (1) last me 3 years or more without feeling like something from the last century, (2) allow me to play some games, from basic ones to the more advanced ones and (3) something I can take everywhere without thinking about it (unlike my tablet). All of it without (completely) breaking the bank
That list got me to the 4X. It's the most affordable quad-core, and that gives me a guarantee for (1). It's a Tegra 3, which gives me a fair try at (2) at least for a year or two. And, with a 4.7" screen, it's smaller than many 4.5" devices I've seen (and unfortunately quad-core devices seem to be allergic to anything smaller than that).
Btw, it doesn't hurt that it allows for connection to a HDMI TV through a MHL adapter.
The USB-OTG feature is, unfortunately, also missing from some other competitors on its price range (like the Nexus 4), which also lack other stuff I value, like expandable memory. And, while the gaming compatibility might be better in the Nexus 4 and the S3, I don't mind missing a few games to have better graphics in the ones made for the Tegra 3
As a way to go around the USB-OTG, I intend to buy a large-enough micro SD (16 or 32GB) and take advantage of the ICS/JB USB transfer, which is much better than it was on my Froyo tablet.

I had tried to plug into my 4x a card reader with red power indicating led. The led will light up on connection regardless of presence of card.
However it did not light when i connected it to my 4x, indicating no power was sent out of the usb port. My guess its a hardware limitation.

That would mean it can't power the USB device. So, an interesting test (which I remember reading about here somewhere, but don't recall the result) would be trying to connect either a 3.5" portable HDD (that comes with an external power source) or an externally-powered USB-HUB.
Can anyone try or, in case they already did, share the result?

i tried that too, nope. Nothing shows up on USB Host Diagnostic app.
Tested using external HDD with two USB males (one for power one for data). Plugged the power end into my PC's usb, powering up my HDD. then plugged the data end into my OTG cable. Nothing.

If it is a Hardware limitation then we wouldn't have OTG ever on our phones, even with custom ROMs.
Tho we would need official confirmation from LG, if anyone has it.

it isnt a hardware limitation. tegra3 supports usb otg. you can see that on kernel logs and the kernel actually has usb otg support enabled. my guess is that android doesnt handle it properly.
when you enable it on o4x, usb switches to host mode successfully, but android doesnt recognize it

When we were talking about hardware limitation, we were mentioning more along the lines of the micro-usb port. For example, they might have used a port which doesn't allow for that type of communication.

A Port? Or you mean the way the port is wired to the device? Because all USB ports have data transfer.

Inside a port there's a bus or interface, a separate chip. Its this part of the story that could be the part causing external thumbdrives or card readers not receiving power from our phone, even if tegra 3 or kernel or OS supports.
If the thumbdrive doesn't even receive power then it have no abilities to even cry of its existence.

What if it's just the kernel/software limiting it to give power..?

could be a cause but logically speaking its not likely caused by it. According to USB Diagostic tool our kernel supports OTG.

I guess we'll find out when the kernel source is released. Maybe it'll give the ability to enable OTG ourselves if something in the software/kernel is stopping it ftom functioning.

any news?
After the Kernel Source was being released, is it possible to install the otg funktion?

Android TV DVB TV Tuner

Hi guys this shoud work on the lg g2 great for watching my F1 on the go and without using loads of data on my phone great kit.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/310802737212?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

This is awesome. I wish it was cheaper here in the US
Sent from my LG-LS980 using xda app-developers app

This looks very cool. Any confirmation that it indeed works? Most of the phones listed I think use mhl, not slimport and I'd think this would only work with mhl compatible phones which the G2 is not.

This has nothing to do with MHL. It should work with anything that supports USB OTG. It's not outputting any signal...
@op You should actually try this http://www.tivizen.com/icube/nano/index.html
The reason behind my suggestion and because I have searched the whole DVB-T micro usb android tuners a lot is that with the one you are suggesting the micro usb port is occupied by the tuner. As a result, you will not be able to charge your phone at the same time. So, imagine yourself with 10% battery and the F1 race just starting, Waht would you prefer... being able to charge your phone and watch the race at the same time or watch the first 10 (max) minutes and then wonder what has happened during the rest of the race.

Otg charge y cable is what you want ....charge and org same time ?

Do these support the North American channels, and does this use Verizon Data to stream these or is it just over the air signal?

Use your brain.. why would it have its own antenna and be called a "tuner" if it required smartphone data ?!?

You never know, did you design the equipment, people are trying to exploit costs everywhere.

Cool product. Wonder if this works? I travel often, usually hotels have cable, but you never know.

In the specs of the item listed in the OP, it states the device must have Neon support. Can anyone confirm our device has this support? I have tried reading the cpuinfo file but have been unable to open the file as text to confirm this. If indeed our devices do have Neon support, then I see no reason why it shouldn't work.

TF701 & 3G dongle

Hi all,
i would like to buy a tablet + keyboard + 3g but the old generation (tf300tg/tf300tl) seems to be no more available here in Italy (i just bought it on amazon.it but it came with the French localization, "azerty" keybord).
I'm wondering if someone ever managed to run an 3g dongle (USB) on the tf7001 (usb on keybord) . This seems to be possible on the tf700 with root and a specific app but i didn't find any info about the tf701.
any suggestion?

I think this device is too new to have some experience with this.
What you could do is search in the TF700 thread what software was used to make it work and test it yourself on your own TF701 after you bought it with a dongle and report here your findings.

3G works flawlessly with my Huawei E160 Dongle and the PPPWidget App. You can get it for free in the Play Store.

Or just use a MiFi like everyone else.

Well in the UK it is but seems to have been crested by three.
Everyone I know uses them. You can connect up to 5 devises simultaneously. Battery lasts 30 days on standby, 10 hours continous use. USB dongles are dead.

Outside of battery life is there any advantage to using one of these vs just tethering on my phone?

I added another I to your link, just to check. For some reason I was sure that You were talking about making your "M"obile phone active as W"ifi" access point, but this is a little different. Is there some speed gain in this version against making your phone act like WAP ?

Oops copy and paste fail
It creates a wirless hotspot - whilst connected to 4G - so you get very fast speeds. Also you don't need any drivers or for it to physically connected.

Yeah, but that's what my HTC One also does, as long as our provider does actually deliver 4G (does not work so well). Also here no drivers needed, anyway MiFi is not exactly what I thought, but I was close.
So why the dongle?

Slimport ?

Anyone know if it has this, I use it all the time on my nexus 5, a quick check shows the moto x doesn't have it

Signs are not good... the moto x 2014 doesn't have slimport or MHL

I use the slimport of N5 everyday to a TV. If there's no slimport or MHL, what options do I have for screenmirroring without wifi?

I guess we'll see if the screen mirroring technology has improved. My Nexus 5 is hit or miss. If there's no Slimport support, I hope it can mirror good. I use the crap out of my Slimport for movies & tv.

I desperately need this feature as well, MHL/SlimPort/MirrorLink, ONE of the 3 will do. I have an NEX4000 Pioneer head unit and I use my phone to display navigation on the touchscreen DAILY. With one of these 3 technologies not only does it mirror my phones display on my head unit, it also alows the touchscreen on my radio to control my phone AND my phone screen can be off. both of these are impossible with mirrorcast and other wifi video sources. This will really annoy me if all the sudden I cant use navigation in my car.

Pioneer has been pretty good about adding features through firmware updates. Since they were able to add CarPlay to the 4000NEX, they should also be able to add Android Auto when that comes out. If they do, you won't need MHL to use Google Maps on your head unit.

This is a big factory in my purchasing decision as well. Hopefully it will have SlimPort, but as many others have said, Motorola has a poor track record in this area.

I have a Nex4000 as well and I am in the same boat. Anyone know if there is a way to find a definitive answer to this question?
Edit: I talked with google play support. The person I spoke with actually couldn't find out the answer. She is going to email me back when a lead tech comes in to figure this out.

Here is the non response. I am going to go with a no, which sucks.
Hello Erich,
Thank you for contacting Google. This is Lauren, it was a pleasure chatting with you yesterday. I really appreciate your patience while I looked into your question.
While Google does not support third-party display adapters, or guarantee that Nexus devices will work with these third-party adapters, the Nexus 6 may work with third-party display adapters.
If a recent OS update causes a Nexus device to stop working with a display adapter, contact the manufacturer of the adapter.
I hope this information helps, but please feel free to let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns.
Best regards,
Lauren

is the gsm module was at the charging port there. the small board? coz the antenna wire is connected between motherboard and the small board. the connector for the antenna wire on the small board was spoiled, so i solder wire from motherboard to the small board. before the connector spoiled, i measure the resistant between signal point and body, i get the result is shorted 0 ohm. so is that is normal?
