I have a micro USB to USB adapter which works great with stick mount and storage on stock root but also have a Plugable USB 2.0 to RJ-45 adapter which I would like to be able and use to connect directly to a router/ modem for internet connection. Being in IT, this would be a very handy tool for me to test connections and cables and diagnose some network issues without needing a computer. On that note, it would also be really awesome to know if it is possible to connect a modem to the Nexus 7 and use it as a wireless router if I need a temporary fix.
I have done some searching on the Plugable USB adapter and from the sound of it, it is possible to add the drivers to a kernel, they do support android 3.2+, including one of Toshiba's android tablets. When I tried to connect my Nexus 7 to my router, both lights lit up on the adapter showing that there was some kind of connection being made between the devices, beyond that I could not get internet with wireless disabled.
If anybody has the time to look into something like this, I would really appreciate it! Even the same capability for my GNexus would be awesome.

Thanks for reading!
The OG Transformer had a thread dedicated to adding driver support for various USB Ethernet adapters. The problem is that it doesn't work with the majority of apps because wired Ethernet is not built into the OS. Unless you're comfortable doing all of your network tests via command line, it's going to be a while before you can do anything useful with a wired connection on Android.
would anyone tell me if any of the 2 will work with HTC Desire HD android revolution 7.0?
Plugable USB 2.0 to 10/100 Fast Ethernet LAN Network RJ45 Adapter (ASIX AX88772 chipset)
or
Plugable USB 2.0 to 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet LAN Network Adapter (ASIX AX88178 Chipset)
The 10/100 should work. Don't think Gigabit is compatible as far as I can tell.

thanks for your reply, how do you know this? you tried?
I saw someone get an USB-ethernet working in pictures and poosibly a video in another OTG thread, but I'd like to know if there was an app or special programming involved. About to go back to a dorm with 250 ppl using the wifi, and if I can plug my upcoming tablet or even my phone into the room's ethernet, it'd be huge. We do know it's supposed to be covered somehow in the OTG support of the device. -Ara

I'm using a rooted N7 with the stock kernel.
The Apple USB-to-Ethernet adapter works out of the box with an OTG cable, if you need a recommendation.
Cheers,
Kermee
P.S. It's a 10/100 adapter but using the new CIFS module for the stock kernel with the back-ported async support, I get on average 9.5MB/s transfers over SMB which is basically full 100Mbps.

So you just plug it in and it works? No set up or anything needed?
Does the HTC One support OTG ethernet adapters, especially with ASIX chipset? Did anyone try this?
Thank you for your answers.

I would also like to know if the HTC One supports this, will be testing once my adapters arrive but as with many things I suspect a hack will be required to enable the functionality, if it can be done at all.
Cheers,

Yeah, I have an asix based USB adapter made by Airlive. Plug'n'play won't work. Anyway, I think a powered USB hub is required for this kind of experiment
Still no support for Ethernet on USB OTG ?
Still no solution for that?
Has anyone tried this:

Hello, any new developments on connecting HTC M7/M8 to the net via ethernet?
I had an ASUS USB ethernet adapter sitting around and thought I'd see if it worked with the Z2. Plugged in a USB OTG cable and the ethernet adapter, turned off wi-fi, and surfed away on the LAN. Of course not a common need but I thought I'd share my results for those that might be somewhere with only a wired connection.

Nice one. But one question which asus adapter did you get I'm on ebay and I'm seeing several models. Can you post the model number on yours seems like some have different chipsets on them and I wanna make sure I order the right one. Thanks.
Any answer to this? I am looking at purchasing the Z2 and wired ethernet is a need for me.
Since there was no reply updating this I have ordered one off eBay and will report which one it is and if it works or not when I receive it.
The one I ordered off eBay worked fine for me. This is the eBay link -http://m.ebay.com/itm/261423773411?_mwBanner=1
It's an Original OEM Asus USB to RJ45 Ethernet Lan Adapter Part #90-XB3900CA00000 for those that find this after that eBay link is dead.
Just for reference, I initially purchased one off Amazon that was not an Asus brand and it didn't work... I believe it was made by CableMatters.
Hi,
I just rooted my blu r1 hd and confirmed it by opening my #supersu app. I have root access. But I still am unable to make my phone detect my otg usb. I tried usb otg helper - but that doesnt seem to help. I tried stickmount and it doesnt work.
Can someone please help?
Thanks so much

Out of Box the R1 doesn't support OTG, there was a report of someone making it work with a powered hub. But BLU states no OTG.
Used other checker
Hi,
Mi used otg checker and it confirms that my rooted device supports otg. It did not say that before rooting. But still my device does not recognize otg.
Please help.
Thanks

As stated, the R1 does not support OTG. You can try a powered OTG hub, but your not going to get enough power from the USB port alone on the R1.
Hi Kal250,
Thanks for your reply. Please excuse my ignorance. What is a powered otg hub?
Can you please give an amazon link as a product example?
Your help is much appreciated. I understand that you are saying that it may/may not work. But I want to give it a try.
Thanks so much

I can't verify that this will work, there was only one user who reported success using an adapter, though I can no longer find the post, anyhow you can give this a try, you will have to supply power with a charger cable, but I make no guarantee as to if it will work. BLUs official statement is no support for OTG. I'm not responsible if you damage your device(s)!!

I'll try it this weekend.
Holy crap, can confirm.
I first tried using this powered hub, as well as a powered usb otg cord (similar to this one), it read my generic usb stick, as well as a 500gb HD (well, sorta, it saw it but can't read ext4).. Then I tried just the otg cord, powered, and it worked. As long as it was getting external power, it seemed to work just fine.
Bare in mind, it "NEEDS" the powered OTG cord, running it without having a micro usb hooked up to power in and it didn't work at all, at least for me. Though you can run the hub without power, don't know why this is, but it was how it was acting.
Non drive testing:
It also sorta saw my Logitech F310. In that it pops up that it is disconnecting, but never shows up while connected (with gba.emu). A 360 controller did nothing.
Mouse and Keyboard worked just fine.
USB Audio seemed to not work, at least with my crappy Griffin iMic (think it is an apple device, I got it at goodwil). I also tried a Logitech usb speaker (not sure what model). No audio came though, thought the buttons worked (play/stop/volume/skip). All this with "Disable USB audio routing" not on (as well as on, just in case i was misreading it).
I also have a Pinnacle Systems AV to USB2 (old school rca video cables to usb) adapter I "could" check, however I know of no android app that can take that in. I do know it works with linux by default, ala V4L2, but android is a mystery. It does light up, but other then that no idea, looking through dmesg was a bust for me at least. Eh, nitch item anyways, doubt much here would use it.
Can't think of anything else to test at the moment, but I hope this helps you guys out a bit.
Tried the powered OTG cable and was able to mount a USB flash drive. I did not have to root my R1 HD to get this to work. The mounted drive did not show in ES Explorer or in Solid Explorer. But I can go to Settings -> Storage & USB and click on the mounted drive. That puts me in the system file explorer and I can copy files. (Do choose "Show SD Card" in the menu. Otherwise there are not many places to copy to.)
---------- Post added at 11:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 PM ----------
Following up: of course you have supply power to the microUSB port of the powered OTG cable. I tried supplying power from an AC adapter and from an external battery both worked.
Another note: to copy files from the USB flash drive to internal SD or external SD, click on the USB Drive (in Settings->Storage & USB) first, select some files. Then, navigate to the place where you want the copy. If you want to copy to the USB drive, then click on the internal or external SD card (in Settings->Storage & USB) and do the same thing.
I got OTG to work with a powered OTG cable but I couldn't get UVC to work
Has anybody else tried using a USB camera?

I bought a Blu R1 specifically to use in a pair of Gear-like VR goggles, as an FPV headset for quadcopter flight. I was hoping to wire (solder) a wireless receiver to a USB UVC stick, run Go FPV (split-screen Cardboard-like vid player), and power all with a 10k mAh power bank battery.
I'm hoping the UVC not working is just a case of a missing driver. Can you (moshiach101) load a webcam app from PlayStore and see if that installs drivers?

OK. I tried it with a USB wall-mount charger, USB-C micro in a brand new power OTG cable, with a Logitech V-U0007 webcam which was shown to work on a PC.
No dice. I conclude the Blu R1 HD does not support UVC via the USB port.
(and the phone is completely useless to me as I have a good phone and Sprint plan for the family already...)
Is there a way to add the UVC driver to the phone?
Is it part of the ROM, kernel?

It should be added by adding an app which needs it.
The UVC setup works with my HTC One M7. Not with the Blu, so I think this is a HW/FW limitation.
Try OTG Patch or similar from playstore

No dice (I just tried). Pretty sure it's an MTK processor, which doesn't do OTG, and probably why it's cheap enough to sell at this pricepoint.

Use a powered hub I have tried and it works for most devices (keyboards, mice, and USB drives), but for other devices such as an arduino, which is what I needed, use USB Host Diagnostics to install a patch.
Tech problem.
So I brought a OTG T-C adapter for my phone so I can plug in a OTG hub that allows me to plug in my keyboard and mouse. I have an A8.
Problem is it wont detect either. It is getting power, if I plug my cell into it instead of connecting it to the OTG cord, it will charge which shows me power is going through it. (Tried this with the otg adapter on too, can charge with the other cord fine)
The mouse is fine (I tried it with my other mouse too same problem) The keyboard is brand new too.
My cell also supports otg, so thats not an issue either.
I have searched for a while now without finding any relevant information to help me solve this.
Any help/suggestions?

Not all devices are able to use OTG Adapters.
You need to check and see if your device is compatible with OTG Adapters.
For example, the Samsung Galaxy S5 is compatible with OTG Adapters but, the Samsung Galaxy S6 is not.
This is hardware related and not firmware.
This is the best advice I can give you...
Good Luck!
