The Original 7inch galaxy tab never had official support for the usb adapter. The newer versions (7.7, plus) and 10.1 and 8.9 do.
At the moment it seems the only way to get the tab to read usbs, is with a ROM with the usb capable kernal (ICS roms seem to be the only ones that support USB host)
Even then, you need to have the same set up as this because the tab can't supply an external power source itself, hence the need of external power. It's far less elegant than a single adapter like the 10.1 option.
I have an 320gb portable external hard drive that i would like to attach to my Nexus 10 when i get one. does anyone know if the microusb can power it and where can i get an adapter that supports the nexus 10. thanks

More likely than not you will need an external power source. A powered HUB is something to consider.
Only powered Hard drives work.

i tried doing this with my Nexus 7 and all it did war start to power up the hard drive and then disconnect repeatedly so there isn't enough power in the nexus 7, i doubt there will be in the 10 when I get it... but i will try lol
Actually, I attached my Samsung 2,5'' 1tb HDD today to my new nexus 10 (writing on it right now btw), and it powered up. Sticky Mount recognized the HDD, though I wasnt able to access it without root permission... Got the tablet early this morning
Get Nexus media app. No root required and you can use hard drives

I thought the nexus 7 didn't have usb OTG host capabilities built into the stock rom. Although it might not be the best comparison, but my toshiba thrive powers hdds just fine.

Can someone verify that it is working with the N10
Did you use any specific otg cable or will any do?
Swype'd at pace from my Galaxy S2
I'm using it on the Nexus 7... That's proof enough
Bought an OTG cable from amazon. The USB adapter one for 2 quid.

I can confirm that the WD My Passport for Mac (500GB) was able to be powered by my Nexus 7, with a cheap chinese OTG cable, without any issue whatsoever.
Can't say if it will also work with a Nexus 10 or not, but I would assume there would be no issue.

used an ordinary 2€-ebay-OTG cable... didnt try media importer yet, want to save 2,30€ and wait till root.
I can confirm that Nexus Media Importer by Homeysoft worked with a generic USB OTG cable and a couple of USB drives I had sitting around. I don't know if there is a free alternative but this one seemed to work.
EDIT: Just to clarify the Nexus Media Importer worked with my Nexus 10. I had not seen a confirmation against the actual N10 so figured I would confirm.
Nexus Media Importer verified to be working with OTG USB cables.
For those who do not have root or do not want to root. Please consider getting Nexus Media Importer as an alternative. Works like a charm.
Hope this helps!
Is this media importer allows playback with say BS Player, whatever. In other words, to play content from the USB without moving the file to the device.
I have root access, as well as Nexus media Importer
Can't seem to mount and USB drives in afile manager for general file transfer though. NMI does import media files though.
so is the idea here that you could use the n10 to power a hard drive and I could put some movies on it and play em? mp4's for example?

Yes and Yes! hdd, flash drive or sd/micro sd card etc
Hopefully simultaneous charging + OTG w/ external HD will be a possibility.
I just tried the OTG cable (that was purchased for the Samsung Galaxy S3) works perfectly on my non rooted Galaxy Camera. No additional software required, it worked straight out of the box. It saw my usb stick and files all useable

Nice info mate.. thanks.
Now all we need is just "phone enable mod" and we are complete
Can you copy files to an USB stick that's formated in NTFS? That would be ideal when you are abroad and need to empty the camera. Probably you can copy to FAT32 but if you record long movies NTFS would be the better choice. Why I ask is because if you use NTFS on for example my nexus 7 it's only read on NTFS and not write compatible.

For NTFS i use Paragon NTFS but you need root.

You mean for the nexus 7? Why I'm asking is because of I'm thinking of getting a galaxy camera and want to know what I can use on it before I buy it. Probably I will root it if I get it.

Yes I discovered it working fine today too. What I really want however is to be able to store photos from the camera straight into a memory stick hanging from the USB OTG. It's greyed out. Hmm.

No that doesn't work as you say. I am wondering why you'd want to do this anyway. Surely you can either use a larger memory card inside or just transfer over to the OTG as and when using the file manager? Also I think there would be an additional risk in accidently unplugging your OTG whilst taking pictures with the greatest possibility of corrupting your card and worse, losing your photo's.
I think
I think the OTG opens possibilities to external hardware options, like flash, light etc
Hi,
I spotted in settings option which allow to connect PS3 controller to our XSP.
When I started that it ask for plug controller over usb.
I thinking maybe to buy one and use for gaming. So my question is that any one try to connect controller and how it working. Can I play games as MC4 using that?
Does it need to be connect over usb or later it is connect by Bluetooth?
My previous phone was Xperia Play and in some games I miss touchpads and separate buttons.
Thanks

You can do it using your PC and a ps3 controller usb cable (a bit hard to set up bluetooth adresses and you need to have the app) or you can just buy for a few dollars an OTG cable like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/1PC-OTG-Connect-Kit-Adapter-Converter-USB-Female-Cable-For-Samsung-Phones-Black-/130798950371?pt=AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item1e743997e3
and pair the controller to your device!

Thanks for reply but I rather looking for more information what controller actually do. I connected Wii remote and can use in emulators when map keys but no luck when using games like NOVA 3, MC 4 etc.
I wonder if it done by Sony so maybe it will be recognise by those games and allow me play without touch the screen.
I have Usb OTG adapter but as I said I don't have PS3 pad and thinking to buy one but wonder if is it worth to do that.
PS3 cost around £30 for that money I can buy something like that: http://www.mogaanywhere.com/

Hmmm ok then . But i would not suggest you buying those Sony like fake controllers they suck big time!!! I got one and it broke after 2 weeks total waste of money!!!!
You should go with the Original Sony PS3 Sixxaxis!
Anyone using sixaxis/dualshock ps3 controller, on nexus 7 which are not rooted? I have my 2nd gen and planning to buy sixaxis/ps3 dual shock controller in playing emulated games. Does it work without rooting? Thru bluetooth?
Any input is appreciated.

I think a USB OTG wire and a mini USB cable can help you if you do not have root... But I am using the Sixaxis controller app and a ps3 controller with root. Makes it all easier and wireless. Yeah I believe it uses bluetooth but does not require you to turn it on manually. The app does it for you and it has been a wonderful app especially with the touchscreen mapping.
