I purchased some cheap OTG cables a while back off Amazon and don't remember them ever working on my Bionic, Thunderbolt, DroidX, LG Revo, Sero 7 Pro, or Nook Color. I plugged a USB stick into it and it worked great on my G2. Even found a way to record the HD 1080 60fps video directly to USB stick via OTG. Also mouse via hub and memory stick all worked together. No go for USB LAN.

Rohde and Schwarz NRP-Z21 and Z24 power sensors work (when used with an NRP-Z4 USB adaptor cable). Not a very common thing but it sure is convenient if you do need it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think OTG works without USB host mode on the device. Special kernels were always required on the earlier devices to get anything connected via USB and not to a computer to transfer data. From what I've read, the G2 has USB host mode enabled, so all sorts of stuff should plug right in and work. USB LAN might work with kernel tweaks, but that is beyond my somewhat basic knowledge.
There is a great mini micro SD card reader on another thread that would skip the use of OTG cables for simple storage expansion, and has a USB pass-through for plugging in a stick rather than a card. I believe the cost was around $12. That is a fancy set-up you have there, but seems spendy in comparison.

As the thread title states, this thread is about OTG Cables. I made this thread to help save people from spending a couple dollars on OTG Cables that don't work.
If you have tested an OTG Cable that doesn't work, or does work, please post a comment and I'll put it on this thread. Thanks!
Below is a list of OTG Cables on Amazon. These should work, but haven't been tested.

Will it work on the GNote 2 is the question though.
I have one from the 5 pack and it works perfectly fine on my Galaxy Note 2. That being said, they should all work fine.

Why wouldn't it? Micro-usb is micro-usb.
I brought the official samsung HDMI adaptar for my s3, can anyone confirm if it works with note2? I know there were pin differences with s2 and s3 adaptors.
I have the new adaptor here. Will check shortly and let you know.
I'm pretty sure it uses the same one as the galaxy s3 as I saw a video.of.someone using.it.

as these USB-OTG cables allow you to connect USB devices to you're phone. the standard things will be a flash drive, keyboard, mouse. now about drivers in android. what else can you do with this? connect an USB-IR receiver? USB IO box?(serial) USB to RJ45? DVB-T receiver?
This would make a nice addition to the list of working cables, the functions of USB-OTG on the NOTE II!
Samsung USB-OTG cables for Galaxy Note works on Galaxy Note2 too. It doesn't seem to do the same the Samsung MHL/HDMI cable for Galaxy Note. Can someone confirm it?
I heard that Samsung MHL/HDMI cable for SGS3 works with Note2, don´t know about the one with original Note.
Dirt-cheap ebay usb-microusb cables never worked for me on SGS1, only good for charging.
Good idea this thread
so I got a otg usb cable for an external hdd. and obviously it doesn't work because the hdd format is ntfs. anyone know how to make your note 2 device read ntfs external hdds?
kernel support is needed to read NTFS partitions natively. if you have root you could try the NTFS mounters for OTG available in the play store.
What HD formats does it actually read natively? Just FAT32?

I got the cable from Hama and i have connected it to my ipad and it works!!
I can look at the pictures that are on my ipad.

I apologise for you not making it clear what you were talking about.
SImple question,
if you buy a charging dock can you simply put the MHL adapter in the back into the micro usb port and have it charge/video out at the same time?
clearly the new 11 pin dock for an s3 or n2.
i couldnt see why this wouldnt work but just want to make sure. im planning on a nice little setup via HDMI and bluetooth keyboard/mouse.
The setup you describe worked with my galaxy tab 7" plus but not with my galaxy s3, so I'd be interested in the answer to this aswell
For me, i search the Saint Graal, a charging dock and transfer data with :
- Audio line-out
- HDMI
- USB
- Port SD ...
It's only a dream ???
it will work with Phones that doesn't have the extra pins that Samsung put in the micro USB port in the Note 2/S3 unless that dock has these pins unfortunately it wont work.

^^would the samsung adapter 5-11pin adapter work that you can buy for a few bucks?
i feel this is reasonable since a dock is simply an extension in some plastic.
The official smart dock has:
HDMI
3USB ports (you could plug in an sd card adapter)
3.5mm out
micro usb sync/charge in
cost 64.95 euros i think

that means the note 2's usb port can work as an MHL and USB OTG port at the same time. i hope someone comes up with a portable dongle that does this.

Kidigi also do one: http://www.kidigi.com/product_lv2.php?pid=1418 but it apparently won't sync with a PC, so it's just an MHL dock. Doesn't look like it'll charge the phone well either as it outputs 500mA

I had figured out how to see the image...
You just need to copy the image link itself...
As far as the connector... It looks like it's a USB Type C. The cable your trying to use is a Micro USB.
Their very different and I've seen them get confused and even ruined the two.
Good Luck!

I believe I might have that connector stored away. What manufacture is the Bluetooth unit? If you can't find the cable you need with that connector let me know and I'll try to find it. If I have it I'll send it to you.
I m not sure, but it looks similar to the micro hdmi port that my sony Xperia had... Ages ago... Please check it...

That is ether Mini USB B 4pin, and before you dismiss it I know it is not Mini B 5pin that we all know it is not.

Otherwise it is as someone else said and is the same Mini B that is used on Sony Cyber Shot cameras. This is the one I think it is

Hello Guys,
I consider to buy this beast but...
I cant find any information about if i can connect 2 hard drives with usb hub to tablet. Do you know if it is possible? I have a hub with own power so i could connect it to tablet via usb-c but not sure if it works but also what will be the speed of data transfer between them or between hard drive that support usb 3.0 and sd card reader. Would you be able to give any information based on your own experience?
Thanks!
It *should* work fine. I have one external hard drive and two powered hubs I can test with, but I don't have two hard external drives. Want me to test with just one?
Edit: I may have a SATA->USB adapter around I can use with an internal hard drive, but a bit of a PITA just for testing - I'll try to do that when I have time.

Someone else may have to do that test. My MicroSD card is in my second (unpowered) USB-C hub - I haven't yet kept one inside the S8 Ultra. So any transfer between the MicroSD card in the hub and an external hard drive in the hub would I'm sure be slower than from/to a card inserted directly in the tablet.
