OTG Cable and acer iconia - Acer Iconia A500

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).

Micro-B to Female USB

Anyone tried this kind of cable to connect USB Stick or a mouse or a keyboard to Ideos X5?
I tried it, didn't work. Although I'd have to try with a powered USB HUB...
Your roms should be supporting usb host mode

New MHL cable supports USB on Go

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?
Logicalstep
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.

OTG devices not working

I use LG G2 D802 in Turkey.
Stock Rom with root access . I bought OTG cable for my phone (cheap one) and try to use it.
I used with USB Stick drive and microsoft basic wireless mouses.
But with the Logitech mouses and External Disk Dirves not work with this cable.
When I pluged the Logitech Mouses It seem mouse and keybord added to phone but any cursos appear. I wait a lot and restart the phone but not worked. I use Logitech Anywhere MX and M510 both didnot work.
Also When I plug 3.5"(with power supply) and 2.5(data usb to phone and other power usb to computer also didnot work. Only USB stickes work for OTG.
My brothers samsung S2(stock rom JB 4.1 with no root access) works with logitech mouses with same OTG cable.

OTG support

I bought a type-c adapter for my Z1 to use OTG cable and Usb key. The key does not power on. I tried the adapter to charge the phone with a regular usb cable and it works.
Is this problem related to COS or is OTG function not supported on the Z1? Or is there a way to enable it?

I don't know if that has changed but for cm you have to use an app like StickMount to be able to mout the USB stick.
Ok thanks, I guess I have to root then.
I used only es file Explorer and it worked for me. I testet Ext hdd, mous, keyboard and controller
Same, no root required, just an usb C OTG and a file explorer. Be aware that the OTG or the device could be uncompatible...

I bought a USB-C to USB-A Converter and it works for me. Official USB type-c adapter has no support for OTG.

This might be the proper solution, it seems.
" type-c adapter for my Z1 to use OTG cable and Usb key"
What speed did you get to ?
Lenovo Zuk Z1
I tried Xiaomi USB typeC adapter with a SanDisk micro USB memory and it doesn't work
I have the same problem.At my oneplus 2 with adapter working normal but at Z1 not working.
No solution about that ? I got 2 adapters now (noname and Victsing) but still no otg, and usb storage options are unavailable !
Does it support in twrp recovery.. i mean does otg recognising in twrp...???
Strange, it should work out of the box on COS 12.1...just received my second Zuk1 and hooked up the Z1 to my car to read out the ECU, it worked without an hitch! Did not try a USB stick though...
I have 2 cables, one is with the micro USB for which I use a micro USB to type C USB adapter, the second USB OTG cable already has already the Type C connector and connects straight up.
I never used my "charging cable" as the idea is to plug your USB stick straight onto the OTG interface cable.
i have rooted/unlocked zuk z1.
tried every possible stuff (es file explorer,stick mount, usb troubleshooting etc), tried changing the otg cable, tried changing pendrives, nothing helps.
can anyone please help me?
xda is my only hope
