Can anyone recommend a decent USB OTG that hangs down the side of the nexus 10 rather than sticks out?
Preferably one they've proven to work with an N10.
I appear to have lost my Samsung one I was hoping to use.
Thank you.

I have this one
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005GI2VMG/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
Works perfectly with my thumb drives and external hdd. Not only does it work, but the price was unbeatable.
Don't buy one of those $10+ cables as it does the same exact thing as this one.
I might add, you could possibly look into getting one that can charge the device at the same time it's using an external storage device. Unless you're okay with it.
Stickmount works with root on my devices
Nexus Media Importer works without root on my devices
GNex and N10.
Hope this helps!
Confirmed that my OTG cable works.

Can you still get to the headphone jack with that cable?
Is there any long (length wise) USB OTG Cable?
So I can just keep the flash drive or external drive in my messenger bag and use my phone or tablet LOL.
Also will USB 3.0 work with the devices?

I bought both of these. Both connect with the larger portion of the USB connector towards the screen so they hang down the side of the tablet:
SANOXY Micro USB Host Mode OTG Cable - The connector for this one was flipped from the picture and hangs down the side of my N10.
eForCity Micro USB OTG to USB 2.0 Adapter - This one came just like it was pictured.
Both came from Hong Kong which took about 2 weeks in the mail however they cost just around $1.00 each and with free shipping not much to lose.
I use mine with a elago Mobile Nano II USB 2.0 microSDHC Flash Memory Card Reader and a 32GB card (my 64GB is in my S3). With the adapter in the OTG cable it barely hangs out the bottom and makes it very compact.
I have 2 kinds of OTG cables here, both working perfectly fine with my Galaxy Nexus. However on Nexus 10 when I connect a USB device to the OTG (or connect the OTG cable with a USB device already plugged in) the tablet turns off completly and I have to remove the OTG to be able to start it again.
OK -- Sorry to resurrect a glue'd horse, but does anyone have a link for one that ALWAYS ships the correctly sized (read not too long) OTG adapter? I've already ordered two of the OTG adapters through Amazon but they BOTH have too long of a connector and it basically sits loose in any device. Very lame.

I'm looking for one as well. The cheap ones from eBay are too long. They work but the connection is loose. Do NOT buy the ones linked below.

I bought THIS one from monoprice for $1.43 last week its on its way...ill report back when it arrives. Monoprice stuff is usually pretty good quality, hoping it is nice and secure

Has anyone tried this? Says it will work with the Nexus 7 so I'm assuming the 10 as well? Would be nice to have all in one.

Just an FYI I e-mailed Juiced Systems to see if this would work with the Nexus 10. Their response is below:
The adapter should work with 4 out of the 5 functions for the Nexus 10(MHL maybe not). I have yet to test it out personally. This is something we will test soon and will post online. The nexus 10 does have an HDMI mini port built into it already. If MHL doesn't work that is because google did not think it was necessary to make it MHL capable when it has an HDMI mini port. The Nexus 7 is not MHL capable either, not sure why they chose to do that. I will keep you posted once the nexus 10 testing comes back.
Thank you

Can you still access the headphone jack with this OTG cable?
Can anyone tell me how an OTG cable can be better than another except of the price/length/design ??
Isn't that micro USB to USB cable just a normal cable connecting 5 pins which are either in a bigger or a smaller plug?
Why should such a cable not work (except of the situation that the cable is damaged)?

I watched a video on how to make your own, if it was correct, they stated that one pin was unused and when it is connected to chassis ground tells the device to go into OTG mode.
So this OTG cable is not just connecting each pin? It's not just an adapter?
Okay then, good to know, thank you

If you took a razor knife to the strain relief part it would work, as it is you can stress it out of the way enough to fit a headphone jack but it puts a bit too much pressure on the USB port for my liking try it they're cheap!
i see most are using ones with a cable, is there an issue with ones like these?

I got 2 of this, works pretty well and sits close to the side of the tablet.
Only 2 issues, the connector itself is long so it's a little loose and it will block the earphone jack.
I bought official Samsung adapter from their website, it is the one specifically listed for the Tab 3 8. Here is how it's advertised:
This Micro USB to USB connection pocket-size device turns your Galaxy Tab into a USB host, allowing you to connect compatible USB accessory devices such as keyboards, mice, thumb drives and more to your Tab.
When it arrived yesterday, the manual lists two compatible devices: USB memory stick and a Samsung laser printer. Needless to say, I am very disappointed & hope I can return it.
As I well understand, you don't even try to connect mouse, keyboard via USB? Just give it a try. It should works. I don't have Samsung OTG cable, but owning a different brand and everything works(pendrives, mouse, keyboard).
Sorry if I misunderstand you

Do you have HDD with separate AC? If not you might never connect with that kind of HDD

I did try a mouse - it works, but I see no value to that when I have a touch screen. I only got the adapter so I could watch movies from my Passport without having to copy them.

I just tried my thumbdrive/OTG and it worked fine.
I then tried my Toshiba external hard drive, and it recognized it on the tablet, but
the external drive kept beeping, and I could not feel the drive spinning up. I took the external off
and plugged it into my computer and it worked fine.
Im wondering that since the external isn't powered with an adapter, but relies on the juice from
the source, maybe the tablet doesn't have enough to spin it up to work.
I don't have an external hard drive with a separate power source to check.
Could this be whats wrong ? I agree with Marek and think it needs the power source.
I haven't tried a wireless mouse and keyboard but will next.
Im using the StickMount APK also.

External power might be a reason, I don't have one that uses external power.
Per the 'manual', the max size of a thumbdrive is 32GB, may also be why my 2TB Passport didn't work.
Good point about the 32gb limit. I got ahold of a external powered and will check it. Should know in about an.hour and will post the results.

I plugged a 250gb powered external HD, that was on a Win 7 machine, into the OTG for my T310.
It recognized it, but came up as empty, and unsupported file system.
Since there was already stuff on it, I didn't want to format it or anything to see if
I could get further with it.
But it did recognize it as a drive. I don't know why it couldn't see anything on it though.
Im gonna see if I can get a 64gb thumbdrive and try that. I know the 32gb works.

My 32 gb worked fine, it's just not useful for the reason I bought the adapter. I really wanted stream, via the tablet, off my passport. Oh well. Stick it in a drawer & sell it with the tablet when the time comes.
First of all android devices dont support NTFS formated Drives out of the box.
Second , most external usb hard drives require more than 500 milliamps to 1amp in order to work.
Solutions,
Get ntfs support from the play store.
Use external power supply for hard-drives.
External HDD

I've tested a WD MyBook 2TB external on my tab and it works fine. My hard drive was formatted as ext4 from my linux box and mounted up just fine. Data transfers as fast as you can write it.
External power is a must.
How long do you think that battery can spin a drive?

It would be great with some sort of expectation, what purpose did you buy this usb cable for?
somebody connected a RCA cable with adapter microUSB/USB?
For the power supply: maybe an external powered USB hub? It won't be portable but it might work.
I have a Sprint LTE TAB 3 7.0, I cant seem to find a Microusb to HDMI, any thoughts?
Thanks
Found this on amazon for the Vivo tab, which uses the same 36-pin connector as the TF701. So I bought it for $20US hoping it would work with the 701 and it does! Plugged in the OTG adapter and attached my sandisk extreme usb 3 thumbdrive. Used the included SD/uSD card adapter to connect a couple SD cards and had no problems. Didn't do any speed tests or anything, just wanted to make sure they worked, and they did.

Wow... Great find!
Hey - happen to have a PS3 controller you could test with? Almost bought the dock purely for this purpose, so I'm dying to know if plugging a controller in through USB would work...
If this really is fully supported by the tf701t, I'm seriously questioning why they didn't say so?

No problem. There is another way to find out. Do you have a USB mouse and/or keyboard handy? If you wouldn't mind testing these basic peripherals, we could really verify if this thing provides host mode for more than disk drives.
If so, I'm buying!

OTG USB Adapter
That's good idea, but unfortunately I can't buy this thing. There are blutooth usb-hub, for example _ttp://usb.brando.com/prod_detail.php?prod_id=00142
Will it work?
can someone find me the right product on the german amazon site? or uk?

Can you charge and use USB with this?
Nice
Finaly, i recieved my OTG USB adapter today, and it works perfectly.

or you can just buy the one meant for the transformer and it's a few dollars cheaper if you can't get the other one. Just doesn't come with the SD card adapter. This is the one that I intend to buy once I get my tablet

Warning: This will not work with our TF701!!!!!! Read the Q&A below the product description !!

Also can you simultaneously power the device and provide input using a usb hub(plug in keyboard and mouse for example)?
I went to the computer store. Bought the following:
The adapter which is 2.0 by the way.
USB 3.0 HUB with Power Adaper.
A male to A male cable.
While connected to a the HUB, and while the device is on its says "NOT CHARGING". I turn it off(tablet), Not getting a charge while connected to a the hub. It also drained it while the tablet is off. Nevermind the hub for power.
NO CHARGE FROM HUB
While connected to the PC it drained the power down to 6% then went back up to 50%. Not sure about that because it seemed to charge while it was off.
NO CHARGE FROM PC
As for the power adapter that comes with the tablet to it. Not charging while ON. Turn it off and no charge.
NO CHARGE FROM ASUS POWER ADAPTER
SO no it doesnt charge in any practical sense from this VIVO adapter as far as i can tell. Maybe its the MALE to MALE cable. I dont know. But its not worth trying if there a chance of drain killing it.
Unfortunately from the adapter there is no media connection or usb debugging to pc or usb hub afiak.
NO MEDIA CONNECTION OR USB DEBUGGING
The good news is that the device can connect to the USB HUB and the keyboard , mouse and thumb drive work flawlessly together.

I bought a cheap one, but the transfer speeds are ridiculously low, and pendrives get very hot...
Not the official one
Any usb 3.0 Adapter
The reason the oneplus 2 adapter wont work on the oneplus 3 is because it is usb 2.0 , i have a oneplus 3 and i have tried 3 different usb c to usb 3.0 adaters and they all worked but they wouldnt work on my oneplus 2 because they where usb 3.0 and not usb 2.0, hope that helped.

Bought that for 2$ for my op2 and it didnt work because its usb 3.0 or 3.1 idk but it does work flawless in OP3 as @AH2016 just said
I bought a Belkin one from Walmart that works great. It cost me $20, but it works great when you need it.
I bought the adaptor for 55/- INR from Mumbai and they are working great since five months & also giving pretty good data transfer speed.

I'm not quite sure what you mean, but OTG cables are really simple devices. A cheap one should work fine.
You could also get a flash drive that has a USB-C and USB-A port. They seem to transfer a little faster.

Remember all one plus devices are limited to USB2.0 speeds. I think it's due to a dash charge compatibility issue.
