Still don’t have USB OTG cable? Then you are not getting all the features out of your Android devices. Of course, your Android devices need to support USB host function in order for you to use USB On-The-Go. It enables USB flash drive, mouse, keyboard, joypad or any USB peripherals that support USB OTG on your Android devices. My Samsung Galaxy S II, Amazon Kindle Fire (using custom ROM), Samsung Galaxy S III and Google Nexus 7 support USB OTG. It is ashamed that HTC One X does not support USB OTG natively. Not going to install custom ROM (which supports USB OTG) until S-OFF for HTC One X is available…
Check out below video for the use of USB OTG ~ Logitech Wireless Gamepad F710, USB flash drive, mouse and keyboard demo.
Interested? Get your micro USB OTG cable here.
the mouse can play with dead trigger ?
Mouse is enabled in the game but you can’t use it to control / shoot.
Hello Jayce,
Can this USB OTG Cable take USB 3G data card?
No sure about this, mnaik.
Yo jayce … will a generic one do ?… original samsungs ones cost more than rm100
Do official ones have added funtionality?
Generic one will do. They are the same. Except the price. 😉
I got my generic one with RM19. Also tested a few others. No issue.
HTC HD2 does not support this?
looks like it does not have OTG support.
I bought it the next day after I got my S3. Test with working with keyboard, mouse and card readers. A must have!!!
One issue with keyboard though. Looks like it can only enter roman letters (a-z). I was hoping can use it to enter chinese text. Any clue?
No issue to type Chinese character with Google Pinyin IME here. Use ‘space bar’ to insert. 😉
Thanks for the tip. I tried with Google pinyin, and it WORKS!
Wonder how to get it to work with stock keyboard.
Here it says it does http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633030

Hi,
I have my Kindle Fire with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean CM10 ROM and i have gotten a USB OTG Cable. What else do i need to do to use the usb host function?
No need to do anything if the kernel supports it already.
I’m trying to use my USB host port to connect to my Canon 550d to use the DSLR Controller app, but my tablet is missing S3C USB Host Driver, any ideas?
No idea, Robbie. Please consult DSLR Controller developer.

I don’t think so. You can get a 3G version of Nexus 7.
HTC ONE X now supports usb otg since JB update 🙂

that has UBS otg hosting capability will ANY driver within ICS be able
to communicate via the USB otg port?
TIA
Sorry minuscule, I have no idea on Kindle Fire HD.
I will pick one up next weekend and give it a try.
The debare I am having with myself is one slip and the adapter port can break.
The price is the other issue considering there are more powerful netbooks now…
If I do it, it will be for my love of open-source goodness…
