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...
I've tried this with three USB keyboard so far: I plug them in to my Note via the OTG cable, the notification bar identifies them as keyboards, but I can't get any application to accept text input from them.
My latest one is a folding Geyes keyboard which is too cool to sell, so I'd really like to get it working. Any ideas on what's going wrong?
Even am facing same problem here, able to connect mouse and USB Drives. but not able to use Keyboards.
Is the same when you unplug and plug again otg cable?

Yep, same.
(And I know my new keyboard works because I'm using it to type this answer on my PC...)
The same problem here, but it works with wireless USB keyboards.
Not Bluetooth, that ones with proprietary dongles. I thought it's some sort of a power problem and the wireless dongles need less power.
So i stripped a USB extension cable, cut the power lines and inserted another usb cable. Like an Y-Adapter used for 2.5" hard drives. This additional plug was put in the Charger and it powered the keyboard. Still no luck.
The cable itself works. Tested it with a mouse, a card-reader and even a 2.5" hard disk and the Note was happy with it.
/me:
Edit: Tried to change the keyboard layout. I need qwertz, not qwerty. Not possible at all. Seems that Android 2.3.6 has no option for that. Hope ICS will do better. Even other keyboard will work, it's absolutely useless for me.
So, no one figuret out why USB keyboards don't work?
My USB Keyboard can't work too
My keyboard is samsung AA-SK0TKBD
solution is easy
You have to restart mobile. Yes, really not practical but that works.
One more thing, the captcha verification during each post is really annoying. Last my answer here.

i have never used any of this...
i just connected the usb keyboard and it detected as keyboard and works fine as well
Same here. Just plugged in a normal Dell (Logitech) USB Keyboard and it worked without have me tweak any settings. Same with a wired and wireless mouse. It just worked.
Hi guys,
I have a strange problem with the OTG adapter. Namely, when I connect my rii mini wireless keyboard with touchpad, everything works just fine, and then suddenly I can only use the touchpad and the mouse buttons but cannot type, or viceversa- the pointer just disappears (the Note still says 'mouse and keyboard connected'). It happens totally random and not long after the initial plugging in. It happens on both ICS and GB root (now using). I use this adapter: http://goo.gl/CRjN8
Any ideas/suggestions are welcome
?
Nobody? Any ideas/suggestions?
Just to add that transferring from a flash memory/usb card reader works fine
I am having same problem with mouse cursor disappearing few second after inserting the mouse. I also noticed that when first inserting my dell/asus/microsoft optical wired usb mouse using OTG connector my I9100 recognise it as usb mouse connected and for next few (say 40) seconds randomly it works like charm and than suddenly it disappears and no power to the mouse(no light at the mouse sensor) .
I also upgraded from GB to ICS via Kies but no improvement
anyone knows the solution?
Is this a wired solution, or BlueTooth?
Bluetooth is a known issue, its just got fixed.
Try latest CM9-kernel. Or 4.0.4 based kernel (SpeedMod K3-9/Notecore).
If its wired then I can't help you.
I bought a OTG dongle... which didn't work, I'm too lazy to order another one (its mostly the anxiety of waiting weeks for it)

Download "ntfs mounter" at google play. Open the app and plug in your otg cable with pendrive inserted. All the problem will gone.
Try it and report back.
Good luck mate

It works.
I just tested with a mouse
Thanks
Is there a OTG USB cable in the box or you need to buy one?

It does not work on mine. Tried an USB OGT adapter and an adapter cable (both worked on my Xperia S) Tried Dualshock 3 (because of that native support thingy) USB Keyboard and USB Mouse. No reaction. Device is rooted but bootloader is locked and I have stock firmware on it.

I tested it with an xbox 360 controller and it worked fine! The battery drain with it is ridiculous though!
I have two different OTG USB cables, with one it works fine with my ps3 controller, no reaction with the other cable. The one which works is a very short one, the not working cable is very long. But I don't thing the length is the reason.
i've got a feeling not all OTG cables work, i bought a generic one from amazon and when i try connecting a usb memory stick it says it has too much devices connected and i need to disconnect one for it to work. Has anyone bought one recently and it has worked, if so please provide a link if possible. thank you

I bought this one from Amazon (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005FUNQXS/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i02?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
It arrived yesterday and I plugged the PS3 controller into the phone and it recognised it straight away.
I don''t know if it works with USB Drives or not, I don't have any to test, but it worked fine for what I needed it for, and cheap too.
Thanks mate, I'll give that a go

Just tried the USB OTG clip that i used on my HTC One and it doesn't show up a simple memory card? Which is weird as it's still working on other devices.
Would be good to find out what the problem is, is it a missing pin ? Or just the grade of the kit, plus certain USB OTG cables / clips are working for certain things and not for others, so PS3 will connect but memory won't mount on some, some nothing works on and others everything works, would be an idea to get some clarity on what cables do everything.
I'll test a few more when i get home, just confused as to why this one i've got doesn't work.
Hi all
I can't get my usb-otg to connect to anything at all! I tried using a thumb drive, a mouse, a keyboard and even a RTL-SDR dongle. Nothing happens! All of the usual otg checking apps say that the phone supports otg, however, it fails to detect any device I plug in. The HTC website says that our phone should support usb-otg. Does anyone else have this problem?
Please help!!
I'm having the same issue too. Been looking around for a solution but can't find one.
I am having a smiler problem. The USB-OTG detects a USB flash drive fine, but says the phone USB is in "host mode" so it can not access the drive.
When I plug my RTL dongle in (for SDR Touch) it does not detect it at all, does not even power it up.
And if you connect the external 5V? I want to buy this phone and use the OTG, someone else can share their experience?
