I have a seagate drive that I can't seem to get to work on the usb port. Are there any apps I need to make it compatible?
As far as I know the nexus 4 does not support "usb on the go".

you can use this USB3.0 AF/AF Adapter
Has anybody tried this yet and confirm its working? Maybe even with USB2 harddrives?
Cheers
I can confirm that the dock recognises my old 80Gb WD passport USB2 drive - I have it partitioned as well into FAT and EXT3 as well and recognises both.

Hi everybody.
I haven't got a Nexus 7, but I'm seriously thinking on getting one.
As I live outside the US, but a friend of mine is traveling there next month, I'm making my plans on what I'm going to ask him to buy for me.
I have read about USB OTG support on rooted Nexus 7, and plan to use it for expanding storage.
So, the question that brings me here is, which speed does the Nexus 7's micro usb support?, does it make sense to invest in a usb 3.0 drive, or I won't get passed USB 2.0 speed?
Not really sure if all this usb 2.0 or 3.0 applies to micro usb, so please forgive me if I'm asking something dumb.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Barba
Stick with a 2.0 drive if that's your main intention for it

I was wondering about this as well. Will the read/write speeds be faster on a USB 3.0 flash stick?

Any update on this?
I tried an enclosure with 3.0 and was not readable through the USB OTG. I ended up buying a 2.0 enclosure intead.
Hi
I'm guessing the answer is no, but is there a way of connecting the N7 to HDMI? Maybe using an OTG cable. I've searched, but couldn't find anything, so as I said, I suspect the answer is no.
Am aware of the HTC MediaLinkHD method, but was just wondering if there was a more direct route.
Thanks!
Otg is not possible. The device you use from micro usb is called an mhl adapter but I'm afraid the n7 will not work with an mhl cable

I know it doesn't, but BLOODY WHY?
Google have done this on purpose !
The only hope is Miracast.
The N7 has not been officially certified yet but Nvidia are signed up to it so its only a matter of time before it is.
You will have to buy a dongle for your TV or if you have a new TV it might get Miracast certification itself
Then the next step is a software update to enable the functionality

This has been addressed many times. As far as the current most up-to-date user manual online has been revised to say it is not supported. We probably will not see USB OTG in the foreseeable future.
Optimus G does not look like it has USB OTG working yet either.
Don't bet your money on it
its very regretting for me...:crying:
is it a hardware issue...or software related?

google and lg wantedly did this
It's so stupid that one feature of Android 4.1 is USB audio, which is an impressive feature to have but then the flagship Nexus device doesn't even have USB OTG support so we can't use it.
Hi Guys,
Does anyone have any idea if this will have USB Type-C 3.1 or 2.1 like the Oneplus 2?
I guess you completely missed the sticky that said " questions don't go in the general thread " huh lol
But anyway, its USB 2 with fast charging.
My Bad!

Ars now state:
Update: In a Reddit AMA, the Nexus Team is saying the devices only support USB 2.0 transfer speeds. Apparently the reps at the event were misinformed.

So is iit USB 2.0 with a Type-C plug or USB 3.0 with a Type-C since its not true USB 3.1 Type-C? They need to clarify this because I want to know what cables to buy

I wish they would clarify this too. I bought a USB OTG 3.1 for my OPT not knowing that it was only 2.0

Honestly not sure. It doesn't register when plugged in. I emailed the seller on ebay and he/she said the device had to be 3.1 enabled...
But as somebody mentioned on the reddit link:
The USB Type-C to USB Standard-A Adapter accessory image shows a blue tip, which should be exclusive to 3.0+
and
Also, that page says "data transfer speeds up to 5 gbps", which is USB3 spec.
That said, that an adapter cable they're selling on the Google Store is USB3.0-compatible doesn't automatically imply the phones will work at USB3 speeds - even if said adapter is included in the package when you buy the phone. It will probably simply act as a USB-C to USB-A conduit, running at USB2 speeds.

Looking at the accessories page of the Nexus 6p, I see that the wall charger LOOKS like the type which doesn't detach from the USB cable....is that right? Anyone know if the stock charger shipped in the box is the type we can detach from the plug and put into PC?

That product listing dates back to the 2015 Chromebook Pixel launch, which has USB 3.0 Type-C ports. They listed it with the Nexus since it's backwards compatible with 2.0 devices.
