It had better be software, other wise I'm refusing the order when it finally arrives, whenever that is.
While I don't use it all the time, OTG has saved my ass more than enough times at college.
It's definitely hardware -- the USB port isn't capable of supplying the 5V needed for host mode -- and so the software has been removed from N4 Android as well. There is speculation that a powered USB hub, with a patch to restore the software support for USB host mode, might work, but that remains unproven at this point, as far as I am aware.
I guess one will have to install a custom kernel to reenable to feature + StickMount and use one of these so it can provide proper power to the connected device:

I have that cable, and faux kernel which I believe has OTG enabled, but it does not work, power is not provided to the microsd adapter, when connecting the phone charger into the y-cable.

Oh Yea? its definitely hardware huh? well do you have a definitive source that says that, are you an expert in the field? This is what grinds my gears, same with the "Expert" who said the Nexus LTE chip was all dormant and useless to the device before someone found out it was a mod away from being enabled on the Tmobile soon to be 4g band. People always want to be the expert with their opinion and present it as fact. The FACT is people are still working on this issue and it has not yet been definitively solved as being software or hardware, Google/LG did change the online manual, but they did that because out of the box OTG wasnt supported, that doesnt mean its a hardware issue, This is what people thought about the One X before somebody found out how to do it, and made these "Experts" look like novices. My point is don't go casting your unsupported opinion and saying its "Definite".
If you read this Topic there are some references pointing out that the N4 doesn't provide the 5V.
Sounds pretty much like a hardware issue

Well, the two "definite" things that I know are that 1) the connector does not provide 5V, as required by USB peripherals (I checked that myself with a multimeter), and 2) the Google engineer's check-in comment from the commit that removed USB host mode support from the software said that the reason was that the phone cannot supply 5V. No one has knowledgeably suggested in any of these threads that there is a software mechanism that would enable the N4 hardware to supply 5V.
If I'm wrong, I will more than happily eat crow (I'd love to have host mode support as much as anyone else). In the meantime, I think it's a very reasonable conclusion that the hardware just isn't able to support USB host mode by itself, although I'm hopeful that some combination of software and external hardware that independently provides the requisite 5V will allow use of USB peripherals.

My Reasons to doubt all this is that the HTC One X was in the same boat everybody said it could't suppy the voltage, but its doing it fine now. Secondly the LG Optimus G is the first cousin of the Nexus 4, it is said the Nexus 4 has the same guts inside as the Optimus, and once again that runs OTG just fine. So Im thinking and hopefull, because I wont present any of this as definitive because I really dont know, just assumptions. And also I've learned with Google employees that in most cases when they dont know the reason they make it up, but hey I guess we really wont know until Google comes out with its next patch/update and see if it resolves the problem because Im sure there are a lot of complaints filed against them, and last I heard there wasnt a recall of the Nexus.

That would indeed be good news -- do you have a reference? I don't follow the Optimus G forum here; when I searched a couple of weeks ago, I found several people reporting failures and no successes, but that obviously could have changed in the interim.

It turns out that even with ExtUSB gone, which someone else pointed out prevented video out in the old fashion, HTC has figured out how to incorporate video out.
http://androidandme.com/2010/04/news/droid-incredible-does-tv-out-video/
This article says the Incredible, unlike the Evo 4g, does not use HDMI to do video out. It just uses the regular micro USB port, with composite ends on the other side.
Like the other person said before, thats not exactly 1080i, but it's gonna look fine in my car.
By the way.... THATS what I'ld like to see someone develop. Take the Incredible ROM, go through it, find whatever makes the video out work, and port it over to the N1 roms! Is that even possible?
And please, don't ten people say well don't demand of the devs, learn it yourself... if its impossible, or will take a long time, or whatever, I will wait patiently.
I'd be very surprised seeing as how the usb output on the nexus is very low (2MB/s), unless this is strictly a software stop.

Pretty sure that's impossible. The port is different, so the cable that connects the Incredible to a TV wouldn't fit in an N1.
What kind of TV setup do you have in your car by the way? In the dashboard, or a TV in the backseat?

Good find.
I did a search for HTC ACT100 and found this one as well:
http://www.amazon.com/HTC-Cable-ACT100-Verizon-MyTouch/product-reviews/B0022JHOYM
This one actually has some reviews.
I don't think it will fit.
From wiki:
HTC manufactures Windows Mobile and Android-based Communicators which have a proprietary connector called HTC ExtUSB (Extended USB). ExtUSB combines mini-USB (with which it is backwards-compatible) with audio input as well as audio and video output in an 11-pin connector.

=( That sucks, we only have a micro usb - B, pretty sure they are incompatible with each other.
irrespective, i have an hdtv. most composite video looks like hammered poo on an hdtv
yeah totally different connectors, I still have mine, sucked when i first got my N1 to see what connection it uses.
this seems pretty interesting, unless the icredibles usb port has more connections then i think it could be possible. as far as i can see the only hardware limitation would be the port, i dont think the phone needs special hardware to output analog video does it?
The connectors from the board to the port are different than a standard charge/data connection.

only issue i have with believing that, is that the hd2 has a different usb port than ALL the other phones it mentions in 'compatibility', yet it doesnt anywhere mention having a mini to micro usb adapter included.....
I suspect (as happens a lot) they have released it as 'compatible with htc phones' and then just found a list of all htc phones to put on the website.
Be great if it did work, mind!
i also agree that this is a simple case of the seller not completely aware of what he is selling!
why? even the ancient HTC Touch is listed as compatible! now surely that can't be true!
its very likely misleading specs, but you're welcome to try and report here if you still feel like it!
Ugh, I hate how retailers are becoming less and less responsible for posting the right information on the products they sell. I would also hope that it can stream from the HD2 (as what I've read how the Droid is able to stream tv out now), but who knows. So many devs here are saying it's a hardware specific problem. I'm wondering about buying one and just returning it if it doesn't work.
I agree, Yes the cable will fit all these phones and therefore it is "compatable"
But the seller seems to fail to mention that your phone might not support video out.
In fact its complete crap, cos he goes on to list things like XDA 2, which didn't have a mini USB connecter, although it did do video out but only with the optional backpack!

Oh no, please, be my guest and try it, and report back
I believe this has been addressed on the forums a few times.
Although the snapdragon processor does support tv out, HTC did not implement this in the HD2. What this means in layman's terms is that there are no video channels going from the processor to the USB connector and therefore you will not get any tv out no matter what cable you plug in there, unless its a magic one.
The listing clearly says it is for the touch pro and touch pro 2 devices which do support TV out through the usb connector.
What are the chances that we'll be able to tweak things on the Nexus 7 so that you can plug a cable like this:

or an adapter like this:
and then the Nexus 7 can host USB devices, such as flash/thumb drives:
or SD card readers:
?
I don't own a Xoom, but I'm aware that people use dongles such as these to read SD cards, thumb drives, etc., on the Xoom. I learned this while reading umpteen posts where people were bashing this device's lack of a SD card slot. There was one lone response from a Xoom owner (and N-7 pre-order-er) who said that he wasn't worried about it, because he figured that the N-7 would be able to do this soon and maybe even immediately.
What do you think?
i've yet to see it actually confirmed in video/pictures but i've seen multiple reports of OTG (this setup) being confirmed in Android 4.1
my experience with this was the galaxy nexus. The GN was capable of OTG, but i wouldn't work out of the box. You had to root and install an app called StickMount and then it would work.
The only limitation was power. sd-readers, flash drives worked fine. Hard drive, wouldn't turn on.
AnandTech said:
Update: I've had many emails and questions about whether USB-OTG (On The Go) is supported on the Nexus 7, and didn't touch on it when I originally hit publish becuause I wasn't entirely sure. I've now confirmed that USB-OTG is supported on the Nexus 7, and works on the current Android 4.1 non-final build that has been sampled. That's encouraging, and I'll test it myself when I get home and to my miniUSB OTG adapter.
I've never used USB-OTG. What is it exactly? Just a way to hook to your computer for storage?
Team EOS Rom for the Xoom has it working and I've subsequently mounted thumb drives to my Xoom many times.
I believe the Galaxy Nexus has this working as well.
I'm quite positive it will be doable with the Nexus 7, if not on stock, then on a custom rom. By the sound of things, having some form of expandable storage is in high demand so I'm sure developers will make it a relatively high priority.
Edit: I have the second adapter in your post. I wouldn't recommend it as its pretty flimsy; I'd recommend going with the cable variant.
Brian at Anandtech was the key person getting people's hopes up (at least what was spread though the internet). He mentioned he would confirm if it worked when he got home, so maybe "home" is another country (hence the 24 hours with no answer yet).

Also, reportedly a Jon from The Google Play Team said "Yes you can use an external storage through the microUSB."

If the hardware is able to power up a USB mouse, I don't think it will have issues powering up a USB stick, if the feature is missing in the N7 kernel, I am sure it won't take too long until someone develops a "fix" to mount mass storage onto this tablet.

I recently contacted a Google Nexus representative and he told me explicitly that the Nexus 7 does support MHL but that some additional software was required. He didn't say what kind of software and I don't know enough about MHL to make an educated guess. What would it take to make the N7 support MHL assuming the Hardware is there?
Also this guy might just be a misinformed employee because he's the only one who seems to think that it supports MHL
And USB OTG works as well. Romain Guy from Google posted already some posts on G+ about using the Nexus as Constroller for his Canon DSLR. I guess it's the same as with the Nexus Phone. Mouse, Keyboard, DSLR Camera out of the box and usb thumbdrives maybe again with root and the stickmount app.

its useless because G2 only has USB 2.0 port. If you are transferring many(I mean hundreds or even thousand) of small files transfer is really slow even if the size is very small(KB). But if you are transferring a one file(ex. movie) with 2gb size copying time is very fast.

Granted I did not change ports, as mine are hard to reach and in use. However, Windows does indeed seem to detect it as a 3.0 device (even though it's a 2.0 looking cable).

So because Samsung's proprietary usb3.0 looks like that means ours doesn't have it? I guess PC usb3.0 is fake because it doesn't look like Samsung's?

You can search for a cable all you want. But the PORT on your phone must be usb 3.0 since its the smaller port instead the wider one its not 3.0
I think LG had plans to make the G2 usb 3.0 but at changed their minds, who knows why (it's not important).
The lg g2 has no usb 3.0 end of story.

LG G2 HAS A USB 3.0 PORT BUT DOES NOT HAVE THE PROPRIETARY CABLE. Can you read?! Over.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2757820
Edit: Do you know the meaning of proprietary? you should look it out. LOL
What matter if it does? We have disabled features in products all the time. The fact that new LG G Watch uses Snapdragon 400 with 3 cores disabled (don't quote me on that though, just for an example) doesn't mean that we "should" be able to use the remaining 3 cores. G2 has USB 3.0 support but they doesn't have the connector for it so there's no "proprietary" cable exists I believe.

Most LG G2 models do have the proprietary 11-pin usb 3.0 port and there's still an opportunity they'll put their proprietary cable on the market since it will benefit g flex and g pro 2 users aswell since they have the same connector. And i've read some company called analogix, will be releasing a Slimport 4K cable, and they used g flex in the demo, I wonder how? Slimport 4k REQUIRES a usb 3.0 port...
Edit: Anyway, It doesn't really matter, but the point is that the G2 has usb 3.0, you can't state otherwise, but it's pretty useless atm since there's no compatible cable
Oh, and btw, we'll see if the usb 3.0 port really is usable soon, since the op from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2757820 bought a cheap g2 off ebay or somewhere and he'll hardwire the interface

All Nexus devices have received fantastic dev support, I don't see why this would be any different.
Maybe not a noob question but looking at the past and devices with a sd810, what do you think... did Huawei solve te heat issue with their nexus phone? That is my biggest concern about it and camera hump will easy get cover by case, hopefully

we wont be getting any answer until users will have this device in their own hands...
this is same story as the oneplus 2... they say its not gonna heat because of the lower core power combo with the sd810 but some users still experienced heat issues after using the device for some time...
so possible that the answer would ,, yes theres still heating up , or no its cool now...
so again we have to wait for the real world experience...
Will the USB Type C cable that comes with the phone work with my old USB chargers, external batteries, etc? Is the connection that doesn't plug into the phone a regular USB connection that will plug into my computer? I haven't been keeping up with the USB Type C stuff..

Your old USB chargers should work; the underlying USB standard's backward's compatible so it shouldn't have any problem drawing power from older USB chargers that supply the necessary voltage to the device. I have a OnePlus 2 and I'm able to use the accompanying cable with a variety of chargers.
any word on a CAT 6 modem for carrier aggregation ( especially on sprint/Fi)
Just making sure, the phone works with Verizon, right? I know it has all the correct bands. I'll just pop in my SIM and be good to go?

Yes, http://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_nexus_6p-7588.php
AndroidPolice said the device is USB 3.0 yet all the cables they sell on the Google store is USB 2.0. Does this matter? Can I buy any USB-A to USB-C on Amazon and assume it's compatible with quick charge? Any car chargers out right now that can do quick charge?
Thanks!
So I have a concern regarding the 810 V2.1
I have the OPT right now and I'm returning it
I noticed that the 6P has down clocked it as well from 2.0 to 1.8, the OPT definitely throttles when you game for a while and gaming tests have shown this how the phone starts lagging.
Even when you run benchmarks continuously the scores keep going down.
Is this something we should be concerned about? Or is the following happening with the OPT because of how they have configured their OS plus the OPT definitely gets hot when playing games on it for a while.
Will verizon carry this phone and if so will they lock it down like they've done to most of the Samsung devices

None of the US carriers are carrying the device. I just want to know if we can use it on Verizon at all. It supports all of their radio bands.
Micro sim (n5) to Nano Sim (n6p)... cut to resize or order new Sim and transfer number?

I've read that even with the open source hardware driver binaries, the nexus devices still typically suffer from issues with custom ROM's like certain features not working. Is this true, and if so why?
I love this phone and I'm looking forward to getting a CM or custom CM based ROM with theme support to make the OS look cool. Personally I find plain Android to be ugly. Better functionally wise but ugly, so a CM based ROM on the Nexus 6P with Project Fi service seems like the best of all available worlds.

I watched the Nexus event live and also it has been confirmed on numerous sites, this will definitely work on Verizon's network, as long as you have a nano sim for Verizon.
I heard of issues with the Moto X where you had to call customer service with your phone info, but even if this phone has the same issues, bottom line is it will work.
Ok when they say "The camera has the largest pixel of any smart phone." Are they referring to the camera sensor itself? I've never heard of a camera component be referred to as a pixel
Either way, I can't wait to get my hands on the 240 fps goodness.
