it would be easier to remove the simcard from the usb dongle and swap it into the phone..
Would need someone to build the kernel module (driver) of the dongle if there is one, then write some kind of app to allow you to connect.
Also you would need to run the dongle via a powered hub or splice in some power I would think for it to work.
I cant see it happening.

wondering if there is an adapter somewhere to allow me to plug in my Evo4g(or any mini USB phone) to an RJ45 connector...for example a console port on a switch/router and use a terminal app to configure it.
is this even possible?
thanks for any info
Wow...
Wow lol, while that's a pretty cool idea I doubt it could work... I use a USB to Serial adapter on my laptop to connect to switch gear with a Cisco cable, this one specifically,

but the phone itself would have to have a driver for it, or you'd have to custom code one yourself... Either way I'm not sure a phone would even support serial emulation over its USB connection. Cool thought though!
Hi Friends,
Please tell me if we can connect a 3G dongle and a USB flashdrive to Nexus7 using microUSB to USB connector?
-Phone tethering
-Wifi
are the two available options but how to use microUSB to USB connector?
Reply will be very helpful and thanks in advance!

Good luck!
what you can do as well is to use wifi dongle. like three uk MIFI dongle. you can use your phone and nexus 7 on the same time too. no rooting required and much less hassle

I have an otg cable, yet none of my accessories work with it and my RAZR MAXX. My question is whether or not I need a powered hub when using the OTG cable. I have seen set ups of other android models using a SIXAXIS controller and otg cable, yet no hub. In this case, it the powered hub not needed since the controller itself is supplying its own power?
Thanks,

USB controllers don't work?? I'm interested in this as well

Download USB Device Info:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=aws.apps.usbDeviceEnumerator
When you open the app you should see 0 devices under Android and Linux tabs. Now connect just your OTG cable nothing plugged into it and hit refresh, something should show up, usually under the Linux tab that identifies the USB host. Even if the USB host doesn't supply power this will still work as I have tested it on my Touchpad which has no OTG power.
If you saw something appear when you connected the OTG cable, than OTG is in the Razr M. Now try connecting your gamepad and refresh the device list. If its not showing up then there is either something wrong with OTG or you need external power. This program will ID any USB device connected, even those which Android doesn't support since its just matching the device against a list it has. Try getting a USB keyboard/mouse working ad those are universally supported on Android and would confirm if USB host works.
Questions go in the question forum too...
Here's a dumb question. I just ordered a female USB to male micro USB. I wanted to be able to yank pics off my camera and drop them on my phone. Would I need an OTG adapter or does that plane adapter work?

An OTG cable has a extra pin in it that is tied to ground in a OTG cable which tells the hardware to switch to OTG mode. A regular USB cable will leave this pin open.
If I'm able to peel open this adapter that I got, and jump pin 4 to 5 should it work as an OTG cable?

Its possible, as shown here:

For me I'd rather just buy an OTG cable, but if you have regular microUSB cables laying around, go for it.
Bought an OTG cable
Bought a simple OTG adapter from newegg. So far....plugged in a mouse and my camera. Both work flawlessly, my camera gives me the choice of either either MTP (?) that goes straight to gallery and image import, or Storage which prompts to a new usb mount. Have not tried a gamepad yet, I have 2 floating around somewhere but not sure what game to try.
Without rooting the device and enabling usb debugging, will using a usb modem work if i plug in with the help of USB OTG for getting 3g/4g internet? . the usb modem does nto require username/ass to connect to internet. So as long it is detected and drivers loaded it should work.
I need to know about it so that i can send it to my parents.
I cant answer you actual question only a suggestion should it not work.
Get them a 3g router like a mifi. Powered by batterys or usb and allows multiple devices to connect too.

I want to connect the HTC One M9+ to RJ45 ethernet, using some micro-usb to ethernet adapter via OTG. Android supports it starting from marshmallow, but no idea if the feature is present on the One M9+, I think it depends on the kernel.
Anyone knows if it's possible or got it working?

No, I want to surf Internet on a smartphone using a wired connection with wireless disabled. The Nexus 6P is a good alternative but a little bit expensive currently.
Some non Nexus devices may work too provided that you root and install custom kernel:
AndroPlus Kernel for Xperia Z5 / Z5 Compact
Surprisingly, you can connect to internet using a wired connection on iPhone and iPad, but you need the official Apple adapters and a usb hub which is powered externally.
Forget this phone, LG V20 and Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ support OTG USB to ethernet adapters. See more here:
