I know theres a bluetooth moto mouse and keyboard (more $)
but can I just use my USB mouse and keyboard at home. Adding on to this, would using a wireless USB keyboard/mouse work (such as Logitech unifying receiver)
Thanks!
anybody know?
thankss
Every usb mouse/keyboard/disk works with it.
even wireless (such as LG unifying receiver)
Just wondering what people have tried to connect to their SGS2s via OTG cables... I have tried the following:
Working:
Generic Logitech wireless mouse via USB wireless dongle
Logitech MX1000 wireless mouse via MX's docking station
Genius USB laser mouse
8GB micro SD card via USB adaptor
64GB SSD USB HDD via y-splitter for additional power
Wireless USB mini keyboard with touchpad (the touchpad worked perfectly & CTRL-ALT-DEL rebooted the phone!!!)
Not working:
Samsung ML-2240 laser printer (recognized but won't print)
Logitech STX webcam (unknown device)
Generic bluetooth USB dongle (unknown device)
87 views and no-one else plugging random USB **** into their phone? Just me then, lol.
i tried to plug in via usb:
generic usb mouse
many usb keys from 2 - 16gb
via bluetooth:
mouse
not working via usb:
generic keyboard
via hdmi and working:
lg lcd tv
projector philips
but via hdmi subtitles was not shown, only on phone
i will try printers today...

Would be kind of pointless anyway.
When my SGS2 and an OTG arrive, I will test some of my hardware(G15(gaming keyboard with lcd display), Razer Diamondback(mouse), Saitek Cyborg EVO(Joystick), HD2(Android phone) and if I ever have too much money and time, something like THIS and of course USB storage devices from 16MB-1,5TB etc. ) Will let you guys know how everything works.

I tried my Logitech G15 and didn't have much success. Connected directly, it's simply a high power USB device, and via a powered hub, it sometimes is detected, usually isn't (seems to depend in what order it's connected). Regardless, I haven't managed to make it function correctly.
On the other hand, my Logitech MX 518 mouse works great connected directly.
My Logitech Webcam 9000 Pro is detected (even directly), but is unrecognized.
I did some tests with the OTG.
Working:
All USB sticks I tested with.
Keychain Spycam. You can even charge it with the phone Only the webcame mode doesn't work
Some old Logitech wireless notebook mouse
Standard Logitech mouse (one that came with a pc)
Not working:
NTFS drive(Haven't tried the NTFS drivers)
HTC HD2-ADB: High power device. Can't test with powered HUB, because the only one I have is the one in my pc display and that doesn't seem to work with my SGS2.
Razer Diamondback:High power device.
Logitech G15:High power device. (as reported above)
Saitek Cyborg Evo (Joystick):The LEDs in the joystick are working, but whatever I press, nothing happens on the device.
Cheap keyboard with backlight:High power device.
Edit: of courses wifi, Bluetooth and UMTS/HSDPA aren't working over otg either xD
Will update when I try more devices
Has anyone tried if it works with a Logitech G700 ?
Do I need 2.3.4 for all this ? I've heard I do ..
I was wondering if a usb dvb-t tuner should work to watch tv( i didn't try).
Hope someone will test it
Connected my digital camera Sony CyberShot DSC-W300 with USB and a new folder appeared in the Gallery app with all the pictures, impressed.
Didn't work with a Canon G5.
I tried a generic USB mouse and keyboard, several flash drives and my wireless mini-keyboard/mouse-combo via USB dongle
Everything worked

Nope, works on 2.3.3 as well.
Samsung implemented the host stuff from the start on.
Just wondering which OTG cables you guys are using. Also are there externally powered versions available (to power devices with higher requirements)?
I use a cheap 9 bucks one from the ew-Bay.
One day I left the wireless dongle for my minikeyboard/-mouse thing connected - phone was in standby all day, but battery was dead empty after a few hours *lol*
Xbox 360 wired controller : recognized as unknown device, lovely it looks it's NOT a power eating controller ! Lights turn on ok
Apple iPad 1G : could work great (device well mounting at first) but it's recognized as high power device, so... Not working.
Sony PSP : Works perfect
Another android phone (Xperia x10i) : guest detects well USB connection, it charges battery (!) and USB mount works. However, host doesn't detect anything.
I tryied my usb 3 drive formated with ntfs and it worked,:good: played mkv video nice and smooth.
As for the cable I bought it on ebay just standard otg cable
I tried Logitech M310 mouse and K360 keyboard both worked.
Can't find any OTG cable in my area :/ and Ebay is not supported in PK yet

I have this one from DealExtreme: Micro USB Male to USB Female OTG Cable for Samsung Galaxy S2/i9100/Nokia N8 + More
I bought a bluetooth mouse HP X4000b two days ago, and successfully paired it with my nexus 7 to see if it works with it. It worked. Afterwards I used it with my PC. Today, I made a nandroid restore, and tried to connect the mouse again. It didn't work. I removed it from paired devices and tried to pair it again. It does find the mouse as a bluetooth mouse, but when i click on it to pair it, nothing happens. I am 100km from my computer now, so I don't think they see each other
Please help, I would really need the mouse to work in the next few days.
If you could get your hands on an OTG-usb adapter cable you could attach a wired usb mouse or use a wireless mouse with a nano usb receiver. I know that doesn't fix your bt mouse, but it could be a workable alternative.
I have an InDashNet UN8000 that I'm having a weird issue with.
Due to the bluetooth on this unit being run through the MCU (not visible to the settings) I bought a USB OBDII adapter to use with Torque Pro.
The adapter does work... but torque (and presumably android?) doesn't see the adapter on cold startup. I have to quit torque, then replug the adapter for it to show up.
Is this a known issue? And if so, is there a work around? I'd prefer to avoid a wifi unit as I use wifi for phone tethering (internet on the road).
I'm not rooted... but it looks like there is an official (OEM) way to do so listed on their site. I just haven't gotten to it (no need).
Did some more looking... Its a torque pro issue. Its even mentioned in the USB notes in the app.
Whoops.
Hi
I can't connect "Microsoft All-In-One" keyboard to "Nokia Streaming box 8000".
I successfully paired it with LG TV (webOS). It was just plug and play (insert dongle into USB stick and use wireless keyboard/mous).
Can't pair Bluetooth devices to my Android TV.
I tried a wired usb keyboard in the usb 3.0 port of the Nokia 8000, and it works fine.
Dongle based usb devices are hit and miss with amlogic based tv boxes. A different brand of wireless keyboard may work.
If you have developer options enabled, a toggle will appear within developer options on the Nokia 8000 to switch between usb host and slave mode for the single usb 3.0 port. But if the dongle is not recognized there is not much that can be done other than trying another brand.
