How does a USB Webcam work??? I dont see that as possible.

Thats the point of this thread to see what devices work on the thrive evn if you have to create an app or mod it as long as it works.

OK well here is what ive been able to get to work via USB so far on my Toshiba THRiVE:
USB Docking station for external HDD w/ built in USB Hub
(I've been able to use my 250GB FreeAgentGo External HDD while having a keyboard and mouse plugged in)
Logitech Dual Action USB Controller
Replica USB SNES controller (great for emulator)
32GB jump drive
My phone as media storage (touch pro 2)

I have tested my May Flash N64 Controller Adapter for PC USB with it and it works just fine (with BT/USB Joycenter running).

Possible to use this adapter for usb-keyboard use on the note?

Is it possible to use this cheap 5-pin Micro-USB, type B - male to 4 pin USB typ A - female adapter to plug in a usb-keyboard to the note?
Or is it something special about these OTG-cables?
Please see the attached file.

I have tried a simple adaptor and it did not work - there are very similar looking adaptors that are OTG though.
Personally, I prefer to use a mini Bluetooth keyboard with integral "mouse" touchpad or an OTG cable to connect a similar USB keyboard rather than an OTG adaptor as I worry that I may lever the adaptor by catching it and cause damage by the straining the micro USB socket in the Note.
When you plug in an OTG adaptor or cable, the Note comes up with the message "USB connector connected" - a plain adaptor does not cause a message.
The picture below shows, from top to bottom, OTG USB adaptor connector, OTG USB adaptor lead, Wireless mini keyboard with mouse "touchpad", Bluetooth mini keyboard with mouse "touchpad".
Both mini keyboards came with wireless or bluetooth receivers which do not work with the Note as, I assume, they need "Windows" type drivers. The Wireless one cannot therefore be used with the Note (even though it also has a mini USB connection - probably only for charging use) whereas the Bluetooth one does work can as it connects using the inbuilt Android/Note bluetooth rather than using the supplied mini USB bluetooth receiver.
Hope this helps!

USB-OTG (they're all the same) works perfectly with some USB keyboards and mouses but not with all of them. I'm using Genius mouse and Microsoft Wired 200 keyboard.

Thanks, i'll try it. If it works it works
btw, neat bluetooth keyboard/mouse you got there!

I have a mini-wireless USB keyboard/trackpad from Kogan that looks closer to the mini-Bluetooth one in the 2nd post, and that works fine with my usb2Go adaptor and the Note. I know both look similar, but the button configuration under the trackpad on mine is the same as the Bluetooth one.
I like the idea of the bluetooth one mind you!

Dave

Thanks for that info, very useful. I'm considering getting one, can you advise where you got yours (a link would be great, if not, a manufacturer name and/or part number would do ... worst case can you advise approx price & dimensions?)

Although I have a USB one I bought from Kogan, this thread made me aware that there were now bluetooth ones too, so I've just ordered this one from Ebay:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rii-Mini-i6-Bluetooth-IR-Keyboard-Touchpad-2-1-UK-Latest-Version-2011-/250901297139?pt=UK_Computing_ComputerComponents_KeyboardsMice&hash=item3a6ae1f7f3#ht_2215wt_905
It seems to be a slightly later design/model than the one shown in the 2nd post here, but you can find that too if you search ebay with the term "mini bluetooth keyboard rii".
Regards,
Dave

looks good - the universal learning IR remote is a nice add-on too. Let us know how it performs when you get it ...
meantime, I see you've got a wireless USB k/b already working via USB OTG. I'm awaiting my OTG adaptor so I can try that out with my existing (compact, but not mini) wireless k/b with optical trackball. Not sure how much current the Note can supply for OTG usage but I guess I can just use a powered hub if required?

[Q] USB OTG and charging?

I haven't ordered a Nexus 7 yet, as I need to get this question answered. I have read the OTG thread in general, but no answers to this.
Since OTG is now working, if you use a Y cable, can you charge while playing media off of a thumb drive?
I want to use the nexus to replace my in car dash mountEd Samsung galaxy tab 7, and 16 gigs isn't enough space (podcasts, [video and audio] and my music), and I need it to be able to charge while driving.
Thanks in advance.

http://www.cellphoneshop.net/usbycable.html
Here are some cheaper versions

Off the top of my head, the cables listed won't work as-is.
USB OTG is a male micro plug to female USB receptacle.
The Y cables have the requisite 2 male ends and one female, but they are connected wrong.
(I own several different ones, and they are all wired the same way, so I'm assuming that will be the case for a majority of these types of cables...)
These are desired to draw data & power from one of the male plugs, as well as drawing power from the second male plug. The female plug receives the data and the increased power from the second plug.
You would need a cable that actually has a male where those have female, and replaces the existing data/power male with a female.
(The more times I read that, the less sense it makes to me, so please let me know if more clarification is needed...)

Guys, that's just the first cable I found what I searched the Internet for a USB Y cable from my phone.
Thanks for your input though.
The question still stands, with the appropriate cables will it charge while you access data from a memory card?
I'm told this setup will work on the galaxy tab, I just want to know if it will work before I buy one.

this is my understanding
otg usb take pin 4 and ground to pin 5, that's all that's special about them, and doesn't mess with the vcc (power wire)
however since the N7 is powering devices downstream, then also sending power upstream can damage the device...
i use the y-cable+power setup for my kindle fire because the usb port doesn't supply enough power, all it does is provide enough to power the device so the KF can read it
maybe we'll get this when we can use the pogo plugs

The VCC pin supplies energy to device from Android, right?
If we plug the VCC pin of the Android in a external source and the VCC pin of the device in another, sure, don't closing the circuit of VCC from Android to device, and supplying 5v, it will work, charging Android and using OTG function?
I was wondering if some kind of "jerry-rigged" solution, almost "doing a MacGyver on it" haha, would work.
* Please note the image is only for explanation, this is not a valid configuration, is totally fictitious.

I remember the problem with xperia arc before that using usb otg y-cable does not charge the phone. I even made one myself. It must have been the standard usb spec not to accept voltage in vbus when in host mode. But the xperia dock can charge and usb host at the same time. There is some sort of circuitry inside but none has posted a disassembly yet. I am guessing the current might have been pulsed via pwm.
My cheap china tablet won't do both either. It has two usb ports but only one hosts (but not charging), the other guests and charges.
The samsung has a proprietary port with many pins so it is irrelevant.

Yes the LiveDock charges and enable OTG at the same time.

[Q] USB Keyboard not detected (micro USB)

Hi,
I had a new case and keyboard arrive for my nexus today but the keyboard doesn't seem to be detecting at all. I've been browsing all evening trying to find a fix but to no avail so far...
These are the specifics;
Nexus 7 wifi 32gb stock rom, JB 4.2.1
This exact MINI USB Keyboard (Can't identify manufacturer as the keyboard is built in to the case)
Mini usb - micro usb connector
I have verified the usb connector is working fine as I am able to plug in a mini usb charger to the nexus through it and it charges fine.
When I plug in the keyboard it doesn't work or seem to be detected in any way.
Where am I going wrong?
I can't try a USB OTG cable as I am not connecting a full size USB peripheral. I installed usb host diagnostics and ran it with the keyboard connected but I'm not sure how to interpret the results which are as follows;

You *do* need an OTG cable. It has two pins (4 and 5) connected. That's what tells the tablet that it's in host mode. If you want to adapt yours, here's the procedure (obviously, use at your own risk!):
http://forums.androidcentral.com/go...iy-making-your-own-otg-cable-image-heavy.html

tjupille is correct, a normal micro USB cable will only have 4 pins connected, the 5th pin needs to be grounded on the tablet side of the cable. If you can find/make a such a cable and if it's a standard USB HID keyboard then it should work out of the box on a stock N7 without the need for any special configuration.

I have also seen where some non-stock ROMs lose the OTG support. This wouldn't be your case as you are running what looks to be a stock ROM. Now then, I have had a few OTG cables go bad. Some of them are just made cheaply.

Thanks all, I understand the otg cable setup much better now. I figured that with a standard connection android should see the device as an input device and it would just work. Have a cable on order now. I have the kit to mod my existing adapter but for such a small amount of money I'd rather not gamble frying my nexus. Look forward to when it arrives as I keep going to use the hard keys!

dealextreme has some otg cables, you can purchase it.

A # of eBay stores carry these Micro USB Host Mode OTG Cable, originally designed for the Samsung Galaxry devices - I got one as a bundle along with the swivel case & screen protector, etc. Inexpensive & it works - on 4.1.2 and on 4.2.1 depending on the rom & kernel.
One of them selling a pair for under $5, free shipping and they are based in the LAX area of CA, mine arrived in less than a week - vendor has been around for years and sourced them mostly from oversea. The short piece of connecting cable is a bit longer than picture but still fit flat & tight against the bottom/side of the N7 with the case, so it won't be too bad flying 6 or 10+ hours with my own huge library collection of DVD's on a stick. Not a vendor / product endorsement & plenty of sources to get yours, plus Amazon ...

Mine was quite difficult to find as it's a micro one end and mini the other, but I've located one and it's ordered. Thanks for the links guys. I'm in the uk, it seems to be particularly difficult to find the one I need here for some reason!
Just my $0.02 on the whole OTG thing though.... why can't it be that simple to just connect a usb device and for it to work like things used to?? Why the need for an adapter? Surely these keyboard cases should all be OTG wired for maximum compatibility as a keyboard is never going to be a host device!
Ho hum...

Then if i understand good i need otg cable to be able to connect my keyboard ! The problem is my keyboard is already micro usb and i just find
OTG micro usb to usb 2.0 .
How to do then ?

Well I'm glad I found this thread after a couple of hours of fruitless searching (& mostly getting stuff about flash drives).
I tried to connect a case logic mini usb keyboard which I acquired for the princely sum of ten bucks, by using the cable that shipped with the Nexus and a usb gender changer, but the tablet did not recognize the device. I've had no trouble hooking the tablet up to a pc for chrome debugging, file xfers etc, and I tested the mini kb on a couple of pcs.
I thought it was something like this OTG adaptor thing, but couldn't figure out what was special about it vs. bog-standard usb plugs. I ordered one along with a powered usb hub, in case that was the/another issue, and look forward to getting this thing to work.
Thanks!
Edit: Sweet! The OTG adaptor worked like a charm, and with a powered hub I can run a wireless mini-mouse too.

Hi guys, I know this thread is quite old, but I have very, very important problem:
I've recently bought the same built-in to case keyboard with two wires: micro and mini.
The problem is that the micro one connected to the Nook Tablet or HTC Sensation does not work (although in case of HTC Sensation it is detected!).
When I connect the same keyboard to my sister's no-name tablet (something-made-in-China) via miniUSB it works like a charm! With no adapters, nothing!
The question is: should I try to find OTG adapter (and if yes, then which one? miniUSB to microUSB, or rather microUSB to microUSB?) ?
Thanks in advance for all your replies...

OTG for the nexus 7 is a bit different in terms of hardware requirements. Pins 4 and 5 on the micro USB side have to be shorted together for it to work. You will likely need an OTG cable that says in the description that it is compatible with the Nexus 7. Amazon and eBay are decent places to go.

I have tested it with a few different USB drives using a Type A to Type C cable i found on amazon. I am able to copy files back and forth between the the phone to the drive. I have to use the built in file manager to do this though (Settings>Storage & USB). The drive is not showing up in any file manager i try from the play store.
I have not tried a mouse or keyboard.
Edit: Tried usb mouse. Works fine. Didn't have to change any settings. USB is set to MTP under Dev Options.

Can I connect my DSLR directly with a Type C to Micro B (3.1) Cable? In the past, I always used a OTG Micro B to Type A (Female) and then a Type A to Micro B (3.1) cable.
When I first unboxed my 6P, I connected it to my laptop to transfer music and the storage did not show. Had to change USB setting and then it popped up.

nkornbau, is your 6P rooted? Mine is not rooted (yet), and I can use the internal explorer to see flash drive files via OTG, and I can even display jpgs from there. However, I cannot get the internal explorer to copy and paste files. It gives me a message "Unfortunately, Documents has stopped working."

My HRT MicroStreamer jumps right to 96k, works with all apps natively. Unfortunately it also drains the battery so I'm looking for a small self-powered option that will do same. Unfortunately it's a bit confusing to suss out what will really work natively without UAPP, etc.

I really dislike the fact that USB OTG forces using the internal file explorer. This would be a great feature to add in custom ROMs, the ability to allow 3rd party apps to access external storage. Google is really pushing those high GB internal storage and cloud sales. Very sad. In fact, the only thing that really stands out as great about this phone compared to my G4 is that I can unlock the bootloader and play around with custom stuff. Other than that, the G4 is way more feature rich.

You can use whatever file explorer you like. External storage shows up for me in Solid Explorer.
Regards which usb DACs work, unfortunately this remains a bit of a roll the dice scenario. The USB audio thread I opened at Head-Fi in the portable sources forum remains the best source there.

Works with mine: I used a Belkin Type-C to Type-A usb adapter (this got 5 stars from Benson Leung, by the way). The built-in file explorer works fine reading its contents and I can also use Nexus Media Importer to access/manage files/play movies/aduio from a USB thumb drive. FYI, if the OTG plugin for Solid Explorer doesn't appear to work, there are a few more steps to be done such as granting access after selecting the your removable USB storage from the built-in file explorer.

You need this Meenova Type-C to MicroUSB OTG cable works will for DAC on Type-C phone.

now I can't seem to flash ROMs from OTG in TWRP, though...I think I've only sucessfully flashed BrokenOS from OTG. Everything else flashes if flashed from internal storage. I like to flash from OTG because I occasionally like to wipe internal storage once a month (when I was on the OPO)

Can I connect my DSLR directly with a Type C to Micro B (3.1) Cable? In the past, I always used a OTG Micro B to Type A (Female) and then a Type A to Micro B (3.1) cable.
When I first unboxed my 6P, I connected it to my laptop to transfer music and the storage did not show. Had to change USB setting and then it popped up.

Hi, we you able to connect your dslr to your 6p through a usb otg? I can't, and i don't know why. No USB storage works for me with the otg cable and i can't connect to my dslr. I've also received a replacement otg cable from Fosmon because i thought the first one was faulty, but no luck.
Never used to be a problem with my previous Nexus devices.
