hey guys, i was just wondering how "supportive" the HID class (if any) is on the x7501.. was wondering how difficult it would be to get HID devices like a joystick or gamepad going on this wonderful device
Yes, is possible and works . Try to use the 4in1 adapter and use a 4 slots USB; insert the USB into the 4in1 adapter and then insert into the USB slot switcher let's say for testing, a USB Mouse ... it should appear on your screen the mouse pointer . If is working, insert a second device, let's say a USB keyboard and you'll have also the external keyboard .
Cheers.
Hey mate, thanks for the reply.. I have to buy the adaptor anyways so i'll try it out! How versatile is the usb support? I know it takes mouse and keyboard but what about a joystick? never heard of it being used on a phone before so they might have removed support for memory reasons.
Also what about communications classes? what if i plug a usb to rs232 bridge into the x7501? it would be ultra nifty if i could use this phone for serial data logging..
I didn't test a joystick, but I did a test also with an USB 1 Gb StickMemmory ... and works like a charm ... all of them at a same time (mouse, stick and keyboard). Best minilaptop ever .
Hint: use only an usb 2.0 4-port hub (that is empowered ONLY by the host - on this case, Athena).
Cheers.
Just wondering what people have tried to connect to their SGS2s via OTG cables... I have tried the following:
Working:
Generic Logitech wireless mouse via USB wireless dongle
Logitech MX1000 wireless mouse via MX's docking station
Genius USB laser mouse
8GB micro SD card via USB adaptor
64GB SSD USB HDD via y-splitter for additional power
Wireless USB mini keyboard with touchpad (the touchpad worked perfectly & CTRL-ALT-DEL rebooted the phone!!!)
Not working:
Samsung ML-2240 laser printer (recognized but won't print)
Logitech STX webcam (unknown device)
Generic bluetooth USB dongle (unknown device)
87 views and no-one else plugging random USB **** into their phone? Just me then, lol.
i tried to plug in via usb:
generic usb mouse
many usb keys from 2 - 16gb
via bluetooth:
mouse
not working via usb:
generic keyboard
via hdmi and working:
lg lcd tv
projector philips
but via hdmi subtitles was not shown, only on phone
i will try printers today...

Would be kind of pointless anyway.
When my SGS2 and an OTG arrive, I will test some of my hardware(G15(gaming keyboard with lcd display), Razer Diamondback(mouse), Saitek Cyborg EVO(Joystick), HD2(Android phone) and if I ever have too much money and time, something like THIS and of course USB storage devices from 16MB-1,5TB etc. ) Will let you guys know how everything works.

I tried my Logitech G15 and didn't have much success. Connected directly, it's simply a high power USB device, and via a powered hub, it sometimes is detected, usually isn't (seems to depend in what order it's connected). Regardless, I haven't managed to make it function correctly.
On the other hand, my Logitech MX 518 mouse works great connected directly.
My Logitech Webcam 9000 Pro is detected (even directly), but is unrecognized.
I did some tests with the OTG.
Working:
All USB sticks I tested with.
Keychain Spycam. You can even charge it with the phone Only the webcame mode doesn't work
Some old Logitech wireless notebook mouse
Standard Logitech mouse (one that came with a pc)
Not working:
NTFS drive(Haven't tried the NTFS drivers)
HTC HD2-ADB: High power device. Can't test with powered HUB, because the only one I have is the one in my pc display and that doesn't seem to work with my SGS2.
Razer Diamondback:High power device.
Logitech G15:High power device. (as reported above)
Saitek Cyborg Evo (Joystick):The LEDs in the joystick are working, but whatever I press, nothing happens on the device.
Cheap keyboard with backlight:High power device.
Edit: of courses wifi, Bluetooth and UMTS/HSDPA aren't working over otg either xD
Will update when I try more devices
Has anyone tried if it works with a Logitech G700 ?
Do I need 2.3.4 for all this ? I've heard I do ..
I was wondering if a usb dvb-t tuner should work to watch tv( i didn't try).
Hope someone will test it
Connected my digital camera Sony CyberShot DSC-W300 with USB and a new folder appeared in the Gallery app with all the pictures, impressed.
Didn't work with a Canon G5.
I tried a generic USB mouse and keyboard, several flash drives and my wireless mini-keyboard/mouse-combo via USB dongle
Everything worked

Nope, works on 2.3.3 as well.
Samsung implemented the host stuff from the start on.
Just wondering which OTG cables you guys are using. Also are there externally powered versions available (to power devices with higher requirements)?
I use a cheap 9 bucks one from the ew-Bay.
One day I left the wireless dongle for my minikeyboard/-mouse thing connected - phone was in standby all day, but battery was dead empty after a few hours *lol*
Xbox 360 wired controller : recognized as unknown device, lovely it looks it's NOT a power eating controller ! Lights turn on ok
Apple iPad 1G : could work great (device well mounting at first) but it's recognized as high power device, so... Not working.
Sony PSP : Works perfect
Another android phone (Xperia x10i) : guest detects well USB connection, it charges battery (!) and USB mount works. However, host doesn't detect anything.
I tryied my usb 3 drive formated with ntfs and it worked,:good: played mkv video nice and smooth.
As for the cable I bought it on ebay just standard otg cable
I tried Logitech M310 mouse and K360 keyboard both worked.
Can't find any OTG cable in my area :/ and Ebay is not supported in PK yet

Mine worked spotty with aokp ics rom, but I still consider it not working since it's not fully functioning. Will try powered usb hub.
Updated: powered USB hub works great. Purchased on amazon from crazy cart
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.
up
any solution ?
I have not seen or heard what the micro usb will be used for on the NP....
The ADT-1 has a USB port and all it can be used for is a keyboard/mouse currently. I'd kill for OTG support. That said though, the ADT-1 also comes with a splitter for the power that adds an additional USB port to connect to your computer to access it via the SDK. So, it could be very much the same setup, or something completely different.
Interesting... You would think they would list the use for it.. maybe these OTG cables i have will come in handy..
It's been said that usb to ethernet adapters will work.

You can connect an OTG cable to it. I connected a USB 3.0 HUB + Ethernet adapter to the OTG cable and connected my keyboard & mouse to the hub and a 64 GB micro SD card for extra storage. I also used the the ethernet port so now I don't need to connect through WiFi
