It doesn't seem like the files are accessible though. Anyone know if it is possible to get this working? Purely for novelty purposes.

Set the i9100 to development mode (so it's mass storage not mtp) and it MIGHT work. Try it let us know.
I wonder if once the i9100 on the left drains, if it will try and charge from the other

"Funny how one trys to steal the other one's energy."
I dont know why but I laughed so hard at this

So it's a link that makes them have infinite battery life! Brilliant!
$1 gets you a reply

Survival of the fittest. I predict that the phones will take turns being the gimp and top until they approach 0% shared battery at which point they'll both be hard bricked. You're probably thinking this sucks, but don't worry, you've got expensive nunchucks now.

Good idea. Tried that though with no success.
Oh well. I'll suggest to the devs that they implement this crucial function in their custom kernels lol.

try to play a heavy game on the phone that provides power to the other S2

Connecting with dev mode at USB Mass Storage mode WILL give access to both internal and external SD to the other phone. Not sure what you tried.

when your battery blows up let us know !

Very funny! Haha ;-)

Hmm that's odd it didn't work for me. I put the non-host phone in dev mode and then tried. Is there anything else you have to do? Maybe my kernel has USB otg disabled? I'm on void.echo at the moment. Will investigate some more.

Just got to Settings >> Applications >> Development >> USB debugging (while USB cable is DISCONNECTED)
Once you connect the USB cable, go to notification area and and click on "USB connected" message, there you would find button for "Connect USB storage"

I hope it doesn't require Samsung USB host drivers. I will try on a PC not having Samsung Driver and update.

Actually got this working well... But had to use ac adaptors instead of otg cable

You can get something like that on eBay for a couples of $$, shipped trough your door.
You can also take a look at my topic about Microphone recording in the accesorie section, you might get some idea

Typical. A guy develops something and gets these kinds of remarks.
The questions on why or costs are irrelevant. A developer creates or adjusts something because he can. There is no relevance needed.
Kudos to the OP.

good effort op, but seriously, wouldnt be this way easier? shipping to cz is free and the cable is about 40kc

absolutely agree with u "sousede" but when u need a longer one?
I dont want to sit 1m from tv and also there is waiting until it comes to u by post service... u know im not glad when i must waiting for something and this u can buy anywhere and anytime u want... but still agree with u when somebody wants original cable

Vote for USB HOST KERNEL

guys lets have a poll on how badly we need a USB HOST KERNEL ... a TRUE OTG DRIVER ..
which connects USB Devices through a USB OTG CABLE to our beloved SGS i9000 WITHOUT any external power source.

I love the idea, but is it possible? I mean with the hardware we have in our SGS

guysss ...
just think of the NEED of this KERNEL ... we would not be using our Pc's to backup or transfer files or important data .. like backups from Titanium after this ...
we would not be dependent to any other device after this .. just our i9000 a cable and a USB device thats all ...
and many manyyy manyyyyyyy more ....

it is possible for sure ...
we already have a CUSTOM KERNEL for SGS .. which is working .. but it requires an external power source to get your devices visible on the phone and one app as well required ..
while SGS2 has this feature built-in ... and doesnt require any extra power source or any app.

LOOOOOL, WTF is this?

you need no special kernel or HARDWARE (!!)
go to market and search for "hamster wheel"
it delivers enough power so there is need of an ac adapter as well </trolling>

Spam thread?
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but the way I see this post is ungratefull for the dev's who have put a lot of hard work in bringing you what we have so far and for it to work as well as it does so far.
The ins and outs are posted here and all relative links to the why and why nots.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1450298
Have a bit of courtesy and respect rather than start up a thread that moans about something that is already being worked on.
I would like to see it be possible without external p/s but starting it whine poll is not going to encourage anyone to go faster with the development. If I was a developer I'd be almost inclines to drop it or tell you to buy A NEW PHONE if you want that functionality that badly.
By the way if your happy with the work they have already done dont forget to hit the thanks button for them.

nice.........
yes, surely wants this feature........
it ll help in minimizing pc use for transferring data...

Tablets and USB OTG - Flash drives with micro USB?

With the rise in popularity of tablets and smartphones, and the microUSB port as the standard for these devices, could we see some flash drives designed for tablets that make use of the microUSB connector?
I'd love to buy a 64GB flash drive that can plug straight into my Nexus 7 and my smartphone and my friends' devices too.
It'll probably be charged at a premium due to the relatively niche usage, but regular 64GB drives are pretty cheap these days, and they're only going to get cheaper.
Has anyone seen or heard of anything like this? A USB OTG adapter isn't so big or expensive but it'd be great to have a storage device that works natively.

Um....a lot of us do this already. Hell, I watched a movie off of a flash drive today. Hyst get stickmount on a rooted N7. I got the micro usb to female usb on ebay for 99 cents shipped.
Maybe I misunderstand the question?

I think he meant flash drives with micro usb in it already as in the mount is micro instead of having an adapter

I did a search and this is all I could find:
http://www.usbfever.com/index_eproduct_view.php?products_id=2704
Not exactly convenient the way it is. They would've been smarter putting the micro USB port on the side, but even then, very pricey.

Definitely a better price, but still inconvenient to have the connector on the end like that. I think that at least for now, it's more convenient to just have a separate cable, not to mention that I don't think I'd trust the reliability of these no-name flash drives in the long run.

Looking for something small to was also hoping to get an otg flash drive best I can find is one of these http://www.usbfever.com/index_eproduct_view.php?products_id=1387 plugged into one of these http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mini-USB...867?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a6edf4fbb. :crying:
Edit anyone interested found these http://adafruit.com/products/939 will take up to 64gb micros sdxc card just placed my order hope to get nexus in a few weeks.

I dream of this
I think what all of us dream of is something like this but just with microUSB connection and preferably with Nexus color and design!

Problem is, how do you then connect the otg thumb drove to your pc? There would also have to be a backward adapter. Also a switch to un-short the pins that define it as an OTG device.
That's why the cables are an easier way to go for now. ..

USB OTG adapter slightly tight

Hi guys,
Yesterday bought a USB-OTG adapter cable for my P3100 and it has been working flawlessly.
I tried these
4, 8, 16GB Pendrives
Mouse
Keyboard
Mouse+Keyboard together through splitter
I am quite happy with all the setup right now but has a little worry. The adapter is slightly tight when plugging(pushing) it in then Samsung cable(although I could not find any difference at all between both 30-pin connectors. They are absolutely alike.) Should I worry ? Plz advise !
Thanks

Can you charge using that cable?
I bought an OTG cable myself today but i'm about to split it apart to see if there is anything(one way) inside which prevent me from charging with this.

Charging is blocked by kernel/framework and not by cable. My tab charges fine on CM10 via my laptop

Using that OTC cable? I'm using CM10 my self, but no usb charging with the OTG cable. I looked a bit on the kernel source and otg does prevent incoming power the the vbus, but not sure if that happens as soon as the otg cable in connected or when a device requiring host is connected.

I got a similar OTG cable from ebay (shipped from Hong Kong) for my P3100. It is also slightly tight compared to the original data /charging cable came along with the device. I think it should not be a problem, unless you need to push it with lot of force. I need to push it little harder than the original cable.

I would say tighter better. I have mine quite loose. And always disconnected

I have the same cable. My dock connector got stuck in the tablet. Had to use tweezers to pull it out. Afterwards I super glued it back together and it holds. Still a tight fit though.

I've had some experiences with Samsung connectors, and -in my opinion- they all fit very tightly when new. They tend to get looser over the time. Just try not to force it in the soket; at the beginning a little care is needed, you will see that by getting used to plug and unplug it when tight and by the natural wear that occurs in the components, the odd sensation of tightness will go away.
