Hello,
My elephone s8 it isn't detecting the mouse. When I plug in the mouse with an USB cable the device doesn't detect it. Not even a sign of life of the mouse.
I wonder why?
Thanks.
I tried to google it but did not find anything.
I tried to connect a wireless mouse but didn't do anything.
I have an old tablet with the same issue I don't know why.

Hello Members, i'm not a developer, but have a Note GT - N7000 uk version running Gingerbread 2.3.6. , so i would very grateful for you help.
I've bought two 'USB On The Go' adapters, one was not Samsung, one is. When i plug in any adapter the phone see's it, if i plug in a mouse or keyboard, wired or wireless the phone reads it saying...keyboard connected or Mouse connected, but no mouse pointer appears, nor does the keyboard types anything.
If i plug in any USB flash drive, it is always read and i can see all the files.
What's going on? I get the feeling ther's nothing mechanically wronge with the phone, but feel it maybe a data issue.
A bluetooth keyboard or mouse has no problems working, but using a keyboard/mouse this way seem's less responsive via bluetooth, than USB wireless.
I've included a screenshot from my 'about' screen, any help would be really helpful.
Kind regards

I tried many keyboards via OTG cable. It seems the only workable is the logitech (without integrated touchpad).
I'm now using a bluetooth keyboard (chinese manufacturing) working very well, in order to leave free the mini-usb and put it on the hdmi adapter.
I can plug a USB mouse in and the pointer shows up and it works.
I've only tried 1 USB keyboard and it didn't work.
It was an old Acer (I think) and it had a lot of lights, so I'm not sure if it required too much power for the Note...
I also read that you might need to turn the phone off, plug in the keyboard and then boot the phone up with the keyboard plugged in.
But that was after I had access to the keyboard to try.
So for me, mouse works, keyboard doesn't.
I just plugged the keyboard and mouse in out of curiosity.
I have a BT mouse and I've ordered a BT keyboard and hoping that will arrive in about a week.
Thanks for the replies, i tried a few keyboards and mouse makes, and i even tried the 'switch off /switch on' method with no luck, what's strange is that it see's the items plugged in but the mouse pointer doesn't appear even though the screen kind of does a quick refresh as if the pointer was going to show.
My conclusion is that it can only be Gingerbread, i'm guessing that when the ICS update finally gets offered for download, wireless keyboards and mice will work, i've done the same as yourselves and just bought a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, both different and reputable makes so i hope that they work ok.
Regards

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 folks, as title I'd like to use my Android smartphone (S8+ but switching it with Pixel 2 XL soon..) as PC.
I'd like to use an usb hub to connect devices as keyboard, mouse, HDD.. and simultaneously also charge it!!
Now it seems no possible to have usb devices connected and charge the smartphone but!! But I've Samsung dock station that I used with my S8+ that is actually as an usb hub that allow to connect devices throw usb ports AND, at same time, charging it!!
So IMHO why it's so hard to find an usb hub that works like the Samsung dock station??
Can someone help me to understand it?
Thank you

Too much recargable devices. My idea is using USB hub I can connect mouse, keyboard, maybe HDD and printer and at same time also charge the phone.
If Samsung Dex dock can, why can't reproduce it on other devices?
Docking station is not a new idea. These ones are from 2015. + additional powered usb HUB and should work - I guess. I have only experience with Samsung docking stations as they work without a problem (with Samsung smartphones obviously).
Hi again to everyone!!
I'd like to update my thread specifying that I've now Pixel 2XL running Android 8.1
Does it means it's easier to use my smartphone as PC now?
Can I connect keyboard+mouse+external HDD to my smartphone using an USB hub and same time recharging it?
Please can you help me to do that?
What do you think something about it?

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!
