I would like to play around with the USB host capabilities of the 7.7, but I currently don't own the adapter. I have got 2 USB female to female adapters, have you got any idea how to kick the tab into host mode without the official adapter?
hots cable
have a look at motorola xoom user forum, there are plenty of references to making your on host usb cable
It seams that the change to the MHL cable is to allow USB on Go with the same cable

there is a MHL adapter that gives you a male 11 pin micro USB to female HDMI so you can just plug a standard male to male HDMI cable from adapter to TV.
see:
Samsung Galaxy S III MHL to HDMI adapter
Does anyone know if this new adapter will work with the Galaxy Nexus, as well? Also, does it charge the phone--or at least keep it from being drained--when USB OTG is being used? I've been looking for a way to use USB OTG with a flash drive on my GN while also charging/powering the phone. USB OTG is a real power hog.
It should, but on mine it doesn't.
I've got a new MHL cable and a USB OTG cable in the hope I could plug my MHL into the SGS3, use a powered USB hub connected to the Micro USB on the MHL and then connect a keyboard and mouse into the USB hub, then connect the HDMI to the TV.
For me it doesn't work. I thought this was the whole reason they changed the MHL cable to the new type. Can anyone else confirm?

can we get an update on this situation here? How
can we get MHL AND USB OTG?
My reading of the link is that the micro USB port has been repinned to provide USB on the go and not that the cable allows for this.On the mhl cable there is a female HDMI port and a micro USB ( both female) which must be used by the charger.
If the usb connection is also female type, we have to use a usb otg cable to get it work. But at the moment my phone also wont recognize any devices -.-' only mhl and nothing else.
I bought this adapter for 25 euros and want to have it working.
I also asked samsung on facebook 'bout this problem, and everything the told me:
Go support site...
very helpful.
I hope the will enable this feature in a future update.
Hello Eveyone
A friend gave an OTG cable so I could try it on my acer A500 (stock ICS), but when I connected the OTG cable to the micro usb port and then plugged an usb pen drive nothing happened, also tried with a logitech gamepad and nothing as well.
I would like to know if there is a way for my Iconia to use/recognize the OTG cable (I know it has a full size usb port and it is working ok, but I want to be able to connect more than just one device).
I have not seen or heard what the micro usb will be used for on the NP....
The ADT-1 has a USB port and all it can be used for is a keyboard/mouse currently. I'd kill for OTG support. That said though, the ADT-1 also comes with a splitter for the power that adds an additional USB port to connect to your computer to access it via the SDK. So, it could be very much the same setup, or something completely different.
Interesting... You would think they would list the use for it.. maybe these OTG cables i have will come in handy..
It's been said that usb to ethernet adapters will work.

You can connect an OTG cable to it. I connected a USB 3.0 HUB + Ethernet adapter to the OTG cable and connected my keyboard & mouse to the hub and a 64 GB micro SD card for extra storage. I also used the the ethernet port so now I don't need to connect through WiFi

I'm using a Ugreen OTG cable. I bought the 2 pack. The usb 3.0 hub is from Inateck. Links are below.

All newbie hackers out there,
With working TWRP upon us, plan for the future and go grab an OTG cable for yourself. It just so much easier to dump the files from Fire to USB drives which you'll attach via the cable. Get 5 OTG cables for $4 on ebay, search for "(5-pack) Micro-USB Male to USB 2.0 Female Host OTG Adapter Cable". Give away the spares to your friends for karma points!
The other item recommended is "All In One Multi-card Reader w/ 3 Ports USB 2.0 Hub Combo for SD/MMC/M2/MS MP YP" (less than $1), this way you can stick the reader into Fire via the OTG cable, and be able to access micro-SD cards.
Life is just so much easier with the right tools !!!
