I tried connecting a PS3 controller through USB with no luck, it wouldn't recognize anything plugged it. Strange considering my USB flash drive works great with USB OTG on this device.
I was expecting plug and play. Anyone have any success connecting their controller?

As long as you use an otg adapter, the controller should work fine. My ps3 controller works wonderfully when I plug it in through a small otg cable....although the cable sometimes doesnt connect too well. Might just be a crappy cable.

Are you using the Stock LG Rom?
I thought I saw somewhere that the Stock LG Rom lacked the standard Android controller profile?
Yes I am. So with a different OS I should be GTG?

I have a rooted Bionic running kinetix rom (latest) and I am trying to use the Motorola Usb otg Cable (89454N) to use a standard usb mouse. However, when I plug in the mouse nothing happens and the optical light does not turn on on the bottom of the mouse. That mouse is tested and working on a computer and I have also tried using a wireless rf mouse. I did quite a bit of research on the net about this and someone was saying that the Bionic micro usb port does not output enough power to support it so they used a powered usb hub and that worked for them. Now, I did the same and hooked up my powered usb hub and plugged in power and hooked it to my phone and Bionic and now the light turns on but still does not work on the phone. (no mouse icon pops up and no response). This is the case for phone by itself, mirror mode on the tv, and webtop via hdmi hack. Any advice or help on this would be much appreciated. Or has anyone successfully used a mouse on their bionic? if so what setup (rom, mouse, cable etc) ?
I use a Microsoft Bluetooth mouse, works great. No need for any cables or extraneous hardware.

I'd like to avoid buying new equipment. I've seen a lot of people with bt mice working. Thanks though.

I got the bluetooth mouse and keyboard from Motorola's website for $30. One of the best deals that I have ever come across. The keyboard alone is normally twice the price.
I have gotten regular usb wireless mice to work on my Galaxy Tab to work just fine with it's dongle. Are you sure that your dongle is working correctly?
Are you docking your Bionic?
On the back of the HD dock there are 3 USB ports and that would have enough power to power the mouse. I would run the Webtop hack and get an HD dock if I were you. I've done it and it works great!
Sorry to revive an oldie, but I have an answer. The Bionic's USB host mode requires extra power(i.e. needs to be charging) in order to work. As of this moment, other than the HD dock or lapdock, there are only a few hit-or-miss options. (Edit)There's a thread in the RAZR forums that could hold the solution.

Well, it was nice in ICS to play games with my ps3 controller connected via the sixaxis controller app.
i tried to connect my gamepad under JB, but the driver cant be loaded.
does anyone here have the same problem or did someone got it done and its just my phone kicking my balls?
since we cant connect a controller vai USB, its vital for me to use a bluetooth controller, i'd go back to ICS for that.
cant play with touchscreen at all, it sucks like hell.
Try using six axis controller v0.5.7 (if i do recall correctly)

Why not try USB host present in kholks kernel? I'm going to try using USB Otg cable with ps3 controller tomorrow as my cable is supposed to arrive tomorrow.

And can you connect it to the MHL then?
I didn't test MHL on cm10.1 yet, but someone posted that there is an issue with rotated screen on TV.
i was using the Smart Dock, for about 6 months, and it was running perfect, i saw movies, and play games (emus, and android games) using a ps3 controller wired, on the Dock´s USB, and every time work perfectly.
But suddenly, it stop working, now its dificult to connect, i connect it, and in the phone screen appears the "HDMI cable connected", but after a few seconds appears "HDMI cable disconnected", and then, the message appears one after one,
and when it work, the screen mirroring runs well, but when i connect a mouse (wired) dont work, neither the ps3 controller or a pendrive, the USB Host of the Dock is not working,
I try using a USB OTG, and connect both mouse and ps3 controller, and both work well, but not in the Dock
anny suggestions?
Sorry for the long post
You probably are, but just in case, I'll ask anyway..... Are you using a powerful enough charger (1.8-2.0 maH output) .... e.g-the one that came with the note 2? And are the cables snugly snapped into place and not loosely connected?

I have this problem too!! none of the USB ports are functioning, however USB accessories all work with my Note 2 via OTG cable (I tried connecting the OTG cable to the Smart Dock too and this didn't work either)

I have exactly the same problem with all 3 USB ports. HDMI works fine. Is there any special setting or my dock is faulty?
I think they must be faulty, either the unit itself or possibly the charger, or the charger for some reason is not strong enough to power the USB ports (although that seems strange as everything is official Samsung product, and I've tried using my phone power adapter too which ostensibly is the same)
Yes the charger in the dock is 100% the same with the one in the phone packaging. I tried to power the dock through my laptop without any success. Unfortunately, there is not powered problem.
Hi, anybody knows if z1 can use external USB via OTG? 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.
Just recently i bought a m185 and it works great via usb otg, but i want to use it via bluetooth to keep the usb port free for charging.
I tried to connect it to my nexus 10, but it doesn't show up in the list of devices. How do i get it to work?

According to http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/wireless-mouse-m185 the mouse is "Wireless" but not a bluetooth mouse.
You have to use the dongle and OTG cable to use. If you want a cheap bluetooth mouse, try this one: http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-6PL-00003-Sculpt-Touch-Mouse/dp/B008OEHPPM/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1381881003&sr=1-3&keywords=microsoft+bluetooth+mouse
I use the Microsoft mouse and it works very well.

So that means they are not using any bluetooth technology in this mouse? Damn now i need a new mouse, again :/
I just bought it a few days ago(to use it via otg ), but i have already said why i want a bluetooth mouse.
