A Samsung external HD 500GB with OTG cable and stickmount pro works fine with my Nexus 7 yet on my Galaxy S3 it recognises the phone when OTG cable is plugged in yet I cannot see any of my music or files
Sorry not strictly a Nexus query but I do know that many on here also have a Galaxy S3 too, so might be of some assistance.
Cheers

I'll test it out on my wife's gs3 when she gets home from work and post the results.

I apologize. I forgot to try last night. Perhaps brain will function tonight.
OK, I gave it a try last night and the external hd (WD 750Gb) wasn't even seen by the S3.

Damn, this ain't good, it's so time consuming and tedious having to copy music from the external HDD to the Nexus 7, then upload it to Dropbox or Box then export it to the Galaxy S3, when I had my laptop this took minutes, now it's taking hours, im determined to find a way to get this working

Can any of the lucky ones who received their nexus try using an otg cable ? Does the phone sense the pendrive or it needs the help of some secondary app such as stickmount, nexus media importer ...
Edit 1: It's not working! External power required though.
Haven't received the nex yet lol
It's not working for anyone at the moment I believe, 4.2 is broken the compability, Chainfire says there's hacks around it but not for a week or two.
Oh ok!

Lots of people have tried; no one has reported success. Take the comment about "hacks around it" with a large grain of salt; there are pretty strong indications, although not quite conclusive yet, I don't think, that the hardware just doesn't support USB host mode (the connector doesn't appear to supply the voltage needed to run a peripheral device).
Maybe if people star it, it'll show Google that people expected/wanted it, and hopefully if it's a software issue, then it'll get fixed faster.

I dont think its a hardware issue. The HTC One X with Sense 4.1 and ICS did not support the OTG cable. After the update to Sense 4+ and JB, One X has started supporting the OTG cable, pendrives upto 32 GB work like a charm. Its most probably a software issue
on the other hand, LG smartphones has never supported usb otg...
at least, none of their optimus line up hasn't yet
the problem may be on LG's fault
anyway, there is already a huge thread about this issue on this forum

Finally! The usb OTG started working thanks to Ziddey and his kernel!

Sucks it needs to be externally powered though.

Hi there
I just bought a Nexus 4
And I was reading that OTG cable is not Supported -_-
16(12)GB is not enogh for me
Does any one know any Idea? that can help me get more space?
I don't want powerd hub. I need something Small fits into my pockets?
Is there any Small Wiless hdd or something like that?
Please hep!
Well, you either buy the rumored 32 GB Nexus that is supposed to come out next month, maybe, or you could use cloud storage for your stuff, like dropbox.
you could also check this out. works for the galaxy nexus, nexus 7, and nexus 10, so I'm sure it'll work for the nexus 4 as well

Ah I see well this is a better explanation than the NO. I just didn't read well enough. Well tough luck, buddy. You're out of options then
Here is a better explanation of NO
the micro SD kickstarter you just linked is a small OTG device. Meaning it won't work with our nexus 4

Guys what about this one?

Again not feasible as it would not have any power required.
Those cards are designed for the likes of cameras where you don't have to plug into your PC to transfer files off it. As there is no SD slot on the nexus 4. You would require another device with an SD slot to power it

Hi, my screen is a little bit broken, but anyway it don't work anymore, do someone know a way to unlock and use it using my pc/mouse/keybaord ?
Thanks in advance, my N4 is missing me !!
Nope. Time to get a new phone. OTG seems to be not an option.

I tried android screencast some times ago (a year) but I don't know if it works on Nexus 4 or Jelly Bean as a matter of fact, give it try.

I too have the same problem. Thinking it has something to do with the latest update
I have the galaxy tab 4 10.1 installed in the dash of my truck. I need to be able to charge and use USB otg at the same time. Is there any way to do this? I was able to use a USB otg Y cable to do this with my old nexus 7 bit it doesn't work on this tablet. I've tried googling for answers bit have found anything.

Just thought I would share what I found. Not sure if I will get in trouble for this but if you go to bestbuy's website and paste this at the end
site/samsung-usb-connection-kit/2837365.p?id=1218363393359&skuId=2837365
It brings you to a link of a usb host piece that is compatible with all samsung devices. I am thinking of buying one to test it out and would be happy to report back if it does work.
I bought the that Meditato posted. I can confirm that it works. Only prob I ran into tho is when removing the power and plugging it back in, the keyboard connected/disconnected flashes back and fourth. The keyboard does work while its doing that...
