I have android 4.2 with the USB OTG kernel r165. Usb storage drives, mouse/keyboard and gamepads work however im trying to get a RD9700 ethernet adapter to work with no success
From what ive read the RD9700 is supported on android (albeit at usb1.1 speeds) and it should be as simple as turning wifi off, plugging it in and under settings a new 'ethernet' tab will show up. It doesnt, nor does doing a 'netcfg' in terminal emulator show any 'eth0' adapters.
Has anyone else tried an ethernet adapter? Is there some reason why it wont work on the Nexus4?

Hi, I'm wondering about this too. I got it to work on my Note 2 by compiling the kernel modules and the using 'insmod' to load them each time I needed to. I am thinking of changing to a Nexus 5 when they arrive, but USB ethernet is a must for me. Works out of the box on my N7, but sounds like it needs some work for the smaller nexus.

I'm wondering if anyone would know if it would be possible to connect an adapter to a PS3 controller that would allow it to be plugged into the Nexus 7 using the normal USB cable for the controller and then would the controller be functional within games.
If it can be connected then would it also be possible to pair the controller so that it can be used over Bluetooth?
I know connecting a PS3 controller to a Transformer tablet with a keyboard dock allows pairing but I am curious if it would work with a Nexus 7 using an adapter.

I don't think normal regular ps3 controller do anything to ur N7 with USB cable,, just like it won't do any to the computer.

I'm pretty confident that it wouldn't. However, if you root and download an application from Google Play it will work. (Sixaxis controller)
It works just fine with a ps3 controller plugged via USB and an OTG cable. You can even navigate the home screen with it.
I can post a video if people want to see it.

Could you provide me to a link with a suitable OTG cable for this?
Also will my Nexus 7 have to be rooted?

is that out of the box?
I remember it is plug and play with windows and I did that and though it was so cool when I discovered that 2 years ago
I'm using the Xoom camera connection kit cable. Which is just a fancy name for an otg cable.
It works just fine on stock. No apps, no mods, just works natively. Buttons can also be used to navigate.
Here's an Amazon link to the cable. http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Connection-MOTOROLA-Packaging-89454N/dp/B004UAG6WC

So it has to be an OTG cable then?
I have purchased an USB A male/female adapter and tried connecting the controller cable and the Nexus 7 cable together through the adapter and nothing happened.
Do you have any idea to why that may not have worked?
Just get sixaxis controller from the play store.

Yes I believe it does have to be an OTG cable.
Also, it doesn't work for all games. I think the game has to have an external controller option. For example the controller doesn't work for Final Fantasy III but works for GTA III and the emulators.

Hi guys,
I recently bought a google nexus 4 running android 4.2.1 stock.
I have been trying to connect it to my tv using a HML adapter however when i connect it all up and set the tv to the appropriate setting (HDMI 1)
the screen just remains blank and there is no sound.
I have been unable to find a tv out option anywhere in settings, and i am wondering if it should just work when connected automatically or is there a setting somewhere i have been unable to find?
Thanks for the help!
The nexus 4 does not have a MHL chip in it. You will have to get a miracast wireless display adapter or slimport cable

I have a nexus 7 WiFi 16 gig refurbished from wallmart. Using for a car install, tried 3 different otg cables confirmed working on n7 2013 and made my own cable with external power and no go. Host mode will not trigger. No mouse, USB ,SD........ I get no notification that host mode is entered. Tried USB ROM, vanir, cm11, bs harmony, stock, every kernel. Still get nothing. Any ideas? Have power and volume soldered to some momentary switches. Any ideas I was thinking of trying to trigger host by shorting the pins on the tablet itself! Bad idea? All connections in the tablet look good.I am at a loss. Any suggestions are appreciated!!
Download stickmount.

What you are looking for is a kernel that provides simultaneous otg/host mode charging. Unfortunately, if you are running a rom newer than 4.2.2, you cant get it. All kernels that gave this capability were based on the work by Timur. He left that scene and never brought the hack to 4.3 +. If you install a 4.2.2 rom, you can still do it. If you google "Timur kernel" it will take you to his rootzwiki thread. He has a standalone kernel, or an entire rom dedicated to your very situation. Most people on the thread are car install users. Tons of great info there.
To the reply above me, the op is referring to being able to mount otg and charge at the same time, so stickmount would do no good.

Isn't this a stock feature? My N7 in stock 4.4.2 has no OTG problems whatsoever, and provides energy without problrms.
No, not a stock feature. Exactly how are you charging and mounting otg simultaneously, cable wise?

I use a generic OTG cable i got for like 5 bucks (it doesn't supply any kind of power). Mouse, gamepad and keyboards works as soon as i connect them. For drives and SD cards, i use Nexus Media Importer. All in stock ROM and kernel (4.4.2), without using root.
The op is referring to charging the N7, and connecting otg devices at the same time. The reason his otg is not working is because he connected the charging circuit first, which blocks host mode (otg functionality) from registering. The same happens if otg is hooked first, charging will not occur. It takes a kernel with those certain abilities to use otg and charge the n7 at the same time (host mode charging). Likewise, it takes a special cord, which has either 2 male usb and one female, or 1 micro usb, 1 male usb, and 1 female usb.

tried it all
I have tried usb rom and stick mount,and nexus medis importer ect...... my problem is no usb host at all. not even a usb mouse. i have tried diffrent roms and kernels. i think maybe a hardware problem. i made my own usb host cable it works with my n7 2013 note 3 , but not my 2012 n7. nothing does. i also bought a few cables from amazon, no go. the tablet doesnt enter host mode. i tried usb diagostic app from chainfire. support is the for host in the kenels but host mode will not trigger.. just tring to see if anyone had similar issue and found a fix.. thanks for the suggestions.. kang-aroo kernel has timurs patches synced for 4.4.2 so does bricked and m kernel. OTG and charging IS NOT my issue, its no host at all. tablet will not recognize anything i plug in with external power or without....
As i thought the tablet was defective,recieved my new one no problems with usb host......
Awesome, glad you got it replaced. I use usb host mode charging, so I know how valuable it is. But, I am glad you posted your issue, because I was unaware of the existance of the kang-aroo kernel till you mentioned it. Running it on all 4 roms on my N7, and really happy with it.

Kangaroo is a great kernel , try oxydo has the same features but it also has doubletap2wake and s2w it's not enabled by default but trickster mod will turn it on or by editing a few files in the sys folder.In the kangaroo thread there is a manager app like USB rom has for a car install. Works on both kernels. Are you using multirom. I haven't tried it yet. Any issues?
Been using multirom since it was released over a year ago, and never had an issue. I cant imagine my N7 without it.

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

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...

Anyone who messes around with drones will know what I'm talking about. On other devices with micro-usb, I was able to use an OTG cable and use Cleanflight Flasher, Ez-GUI etc to mess with my Naze32 flight controller. I can't get any power to the FC using my Nexus, USB-C to micro adapter, to OTG. Anyone have any ideas?

I have this problem too.
OTG isn't supported I'm afraid. It's due to USB-type C connector not supporting it.

Well that really sucks. I mean, I still have my Nexus 7 tablet that I can use... But any time you get a new device and LOSE features you had previously, major bummer.
