[Q] use captive as an usb host?

Hi , Ive seen some videos of the nokia n8 . And the adapter they have for connecting an usb flash drive is incredible!! , I made some research and its kinda possible in the motorola droid . So Im asking if its possible to do it?
For example , nokia uses this cable: http://www.gadget.pdamu.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Nokia-N8-HDMI-USB-Cable-Data.jpg
Ive also seen that chinese tablets copys uses adapters for connecting usb flash drives.
So , just want to know if its possible!
thanks !! , btw sorry for my english!

The moto droid says that kernel drivers are needed - also as USB host the phone wants to supply 5v power on USB port.
it may be possible, but a lot of work. Even the Moto Droid is not fully functioning yet.

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.

I think that is only an adaptor, so you should patch kernel to enable host mode; but afaik that patched-kernel works only on froyo rom..

That cable works BUT, you need a power source to actually have the OTG working. Look for some Y cable. The Y cable should look like this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-MALE-TO...ultDomain_0&hash=item337569b063#ht_500wt_1413
Except instead of mini usb end, you need female usb end.
you plug one end of the usb to phone and the other one to any usb power source.
You need the Y cable since Incredible S doesn't provide any power out from its microusb port, unlike the sgs2.
Of course you need to have a ROM that have the OTG capable kernel, I think those ICS should work, since OTG should be enabled on all ICS kernels.

If external power needed i dont see a use sadly .It would be nice to plug ur frnds pen drive and copy something in the move...

i actually tried it. Nothing happens. Don't waste your money. Your phone will not be able to detect the pen drive.

Well, most people doesn't use flash drives these days, you can always use some online storage like dropbox etc, or email it to you.
The limitation of the system is the fat32, fat32 will not allow any file to be bigger than 4gb in 1 chunk, so you can't copy a whole hd movie out of someone's flash drive. And most flash drive now is 16gb+ and formatted in NTFS out of the box. All 3.5 external hdd is self powered, which makes it possible for you to read it from your device, but the chances of that drive is formatted in fat32 is really slim.
So yea, its a good thing to have but I think think its that usable though.

Can someone tells me which rom has OTG function?
Thx

but it's for android 2.2

HELP BY CABLE THAT THE OTG IS NOT DETECTED BY MY HTC Désiré 626S

I have a key otg but it does not detect nothing they say that my cell has q have a small voltage other indexes that i have q buy a cable hub to function with the current others say i need a program but all without success help me please!

Im currently trying to find how to get otg capabilities on rooted htcd626s as well. Once i figure it out i will post here for u ok?

the stock Kernel doesn't support it and the board doesn't supply power without a y cable waiting for HTC to post the Kernel source then I'll see if I can get support

If you look at my profile, you will see the other post that I am subscribed to. That is a way to root this phone

Not good news...
Ok so without a power source for the thumb, you won't be able to even see it is there, even with a rooted phone. Sort of like external hard drives for computers. Ever notice how you can't just plug it into the computer, it must also be plugged into an outlet? Same rule applies. There are y cable otg plugs out there, however. Just have to look. Remember, power source, the micro USB, and the female USB hub.

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.

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

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.
