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.

[Q] Can Galaxy Note read other Memory?

Hi All,
I have what may seem a strange question for you... Is the Galaxy Note able to read information from other Memory Cards via its micro usb port?
Let me explain....
I am off on my travels fairly soon and am wanting to travel light. I will be taking my camera and Galaxy Note in lieu of a laptop.
What I am wanting to do, is view the pictures that I have taken on my camera (which only has a 3" screen) on my Note which obviously has a larger screen.
The cards that I use in my camera are micro SDHC in full sized SDHC adapters, so in theory I could take them out of the adapters and put them straight into the memory slot on the Note.
I don't really want to have to keep taking the back of the phone off to do this though, so I was wondering if I could slot the memory card, via a cable or adapter (which I have found on ebay) into the micro usb port on the bottom of the Note and it be able to read the contents of the card.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
Sorry for all the waffle but I need you to understand the method in my madness.
Thanks in advance.
Neil

if there are usb adapters for the same, then i guess it should work. because pen drives and few portable hard drives do work flawlessly when connected to the Note.

Thanks for the help Guys. My adapter arrived today and when I hook everything up, the images from the camera memory card show up in the Note's Gallery. Perfect!
If anyone is interested, here is the adapter that I bought....
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300603100...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_1966wt_1139
I then simply plug a usb card reader into the usb end and the micro usb end into the Note and away I go.
Cheers all.
Neil.

Hw mod: add an internal memory card holder?

Since this device lacks the microsd expansion slot, I was thinking to add it internally. I don't know yet if it's possible, but my idea is to add it in the sim card empty slot.
Do you have any clue about it?
Let's open a "project"?

Here is the mainboard of the 7310.
The idea is either we find another part of the mobo like the one ready for the simcard, hopefully ready also for a memory card holder, or we connect a generic sd holder to the usb pin of the main connector of the tablet.

Here is another piece of information... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118986

Thanks, very useful.
Well it should be feasible, it's enough to connect the usb pin, but there are some questions to be answered.
1) If a memory card is inserted will a device connected to the 30pin connector work? Or does work only 1 device per time?
2) Will this kind of connection work like a normal microsd holder connected to the mobo by default microconnector? I mean, will it use more power, will it drain battery faster because voltages etc..?
3) will it be useful due to the possibility to install apps?
It's important to have answers to these questions, but the operation is very feasibile.

Well, I'm thinking that this mod using the usb pin doesn't worth the trouble.
Usb needs 5.0v and it's too much. Using 5.0 continously drain a lot the battery.
Instead a stock 3.3v powered microsd, is far lower battery hungry.
The problem is to find on the mobo the pinout (if present) to connect a microsd holder.
Gt-P7500 is ready for this connector, but as far I saw on pics of 7300's mobo there's nothing similar.
It would be interesting to read the service manual of 7300 just to understand if the chip and the mobo are predisposed for such a connection although not present.
Internet is full of 7500 service manual... but something for 7300??

I've found this generic adapter, ready to be connected on the equivalent pins on the mobo. The problem is to find the schematics of 7300, just to understand where and if are the sd control pin on the chips (but I guess so).

[Q] Fried USB port - how to backup?

Hi all,
I managed to break the USB port on my fourth smartphone now (I managed to kill every USB port except my 8-year old iPod, looks like the Dock Connector is the Nokia 3310 of connectors)... how do I back up the whole device and remove root so I can safely ask for warranty?
Any SD-card based solutions won't work, none of my card readers is compatible with my 16GB card, so it has to be something that works over wifi...
Thanks,
the|m.

[Q] Note 2 OTG and MHL broken screen

Hey Guys, been lurking for awhile with my Note 2 and before that my LG G2x, A few questions I hope someone can point me in the right direction as you guys have before just using the search button. I've done some searching but have found conflicting answers as well as not finding my certain situation
I recently broke my Verizon Note 2, not flashed, or rooted just basic stock updates and such. The screen and touch input are useless. I came across this 5-in-1 Micro USB MHL to HDMI Cable with OTG Camera Connection Kit / 11-pin Micro USB Adapter for Samsung Galaxy S2 S3 S4 i9500 Galaxy Note, Note II (Micro 5-pin to SD card slot/ TF card slot/Micro USB2.0/HDMI) on amazon and bought it without researching too much further.
I figured I would be able to plug in a USB keyboard or mouse and my HDMI connection to TV and away we go. The phone needs to be sent back to the insurance company and I'd like to get files off the phone to retain or at the very least erase everything. I have a lock screen with PIN and I don't have Bluetooth enabled or any wireless keyboard/mouse paired on the phone so I haven't been able to do too much, it seems that only MHL or OTG will work not both. I know the Samsung Smart Dock will work but since I already ordered, received and opened this device I thought I could get this working. When I plug HDMI, USB keyboard and external power from MicroUSB, in a what seems to be a certain necessary order, I get the note 2 to mirror onto my TV and a USB icon in the upper left hand corner. The optical mouse light turns on like its getting power but no pointer shows on screen. I've had the same indicators with a keyboard but when I input on keyboard no response on screen. I'm kind of lost in what to do next or if the Smart Dock is the best option. I've seen some posts in my searching that people opened up their OTG or MHL device and replaced or added resistors. I don't think that its a viable option as I can return this item less the restocking fee and buy the Smart Dock at a reasonable price. However, that being said I welcome any input as I am looking for help. Thanks in advance for any input or ideas.

If you can view your screen, use an otg cable first and connect a wireless or a wired mouse. With that you can atleast access your phone. U can then turn on ur wifi or bluetooth and connect other device.

Not able to view screen at all on Note 2. Only when is hooked up to the device I bought am I able to see it on TV. If the device is capable of doing both which I'm not sure of it, I'm kinda hoping that it thinks the USB keyboard or mouses that I have tried are mass storage. But again I don't know
