Just thought I'd see if anyone has had success with OTG cables on the Vivid. If you got one and it is working, let us know what ROM you are on and if you had to use and app to mount it. A link to the source of the OTG cable would be appreciated as well.
Thanks!

Any chance that this wouldn't work for us?

I think there's a very high chance it would not work for us.
It's only $2, I'm going to try it out. Helloooo one month shipment from China!

I don't see why not. I've used micro USB cables from other phones and devices for my DInc and it has yet to fail me.
host mode
If you just need an adapter then get an adapter.
The item you linked to is for using the phone as the HOST when mounting flash drives or other usb devices from the phone. Our phone does not have the driver stack needed to mount external usb. I am not even sure we have a usb controller chip for host mode.
Here are a few links I found the last time I went looking for a way to mount my point-n-shoot in order to get pictures from the camera straight to the phone without having to use a PC as a middleman.

There maybe a way to do it but I am not a coder at all and have no clue how to add the needed drivers and what not.
Good luck and please let us know if you figure out a way to do this.
Thanks for clearing up that host thing.
Well, damn.
:/
This would have been useful to hook up external hard drives or flash drives.
But you're sure about that? Cuz the female end would be sticking out of the phone, so something could be plugged into it. So maybe it will work? I dunno.
Sure the physical conection will work. but I don't think the phone will known what to do with it.
A cat's male conector will fit in a dog's female port, but that does not mean it will properlly mount so to say... and both may be damaged from the attempt..
Lol.... Freaky analogy.

The ones I rejected where even more freaky.
lions, tigers, and bears. oh my!!
I blame too much blood in my caffeine/nicotine system this morning.
I know one end is a female USB port where a USB mouse can fit into, however...what kind of connection goes into the Note?...I need to know so I can search online and place an order...thank you.
Please can someone confirm that this is the correct adapter to enable me to connect a mouse to my note:

I don't know if the one of your link will do it but what I know is that you should be looking for a USB OTG(on the go) which is compatible with either the GS2 or the Note.
I bought something like this and it worked just fine.

Theoretically it should work however not all OTG adapters work as they should.
If you don't mind paying extra the original samsung OTG cable is fairly reasonably priced ATM.

I've contacted the seller and lets hope I can get a refund now.
So...any OTG cable is fine?
One more question....for those who know or who have tried, does a wireless mouse work with this cable?...as i'm thinking of getting a bluetooth mouse, thanks.
yes most otg cables will work, some say they will not work with 2.3.3. and above
the cables are for attaching usb devices if the bluetooth is usb based then it should work but if it isnt and its a normal bluetooth mouse then i dont know
Hi,
I bought an OTG cable for my nexus 7 last week and it was not being recognized by my Tab. I don’t know whether it’s a spoiled cable. I gonna to get my nexus 7 a new OTG cable. And I found 2 OTG cables that seem well. (OTG cable 1 and OTG cable 2). What do you guys think? It was a tough choice.
Does someone have another way to get it working before I order another new one.
Everything is appreciated
Thanks a lot.
IDK about those, but this one works perfectly for me...

I wonder if blu vivo xl has usb otg support, I find conflicting informations on the Internet, though most sources say it does. I'm planning to buy a cable for this but it would be nice to know if I'll get any use of it.
Ok I got my otg cable and I can now confirm that it does work.

Hello,
i don't get usb sticks to work on my VIE-AL10. I also have seen members with working OTG, but only on VIE-L09. Can somebody confirm a working OTG on VIE-AL10 devices? And if yes, what Adapters are you using? Did it work instantly without customizing anything?
Thanks
Nobody tried this yet?
can't get otg for use a dac. tried 3 usbc-micro adaptaters and no one works. i don't want to buy a new usbc dac :/
I could not get any Type C - Micro USB connectors to work using my old TOG cable. I had to buy a new Type C OTG adaptor cable. It was the only way I found to get it working.
Can you show us what cable did you buy? Thank you

I am using this. It works with SD and Micro SF, also as Micro USB OTG . Quite versatile indeed.
