Android app not compatible with Nexus 4?

Why this app is not compatible with Nexus 4?
App Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.videotron.pages.amca

Pretty sure its because it uses USB OTG.

Yes and no. The Nexus 4 doesn't have OTG support so you can't use the app. Read the app description.

If I'm not mistaken its the way all androids are going now, not just the N⁴. I believe some kernels support it, a workaround perhaps, sorry I don't really ever use OTG so I'm not that knowledgeable on why it don't have it or how to get it lol.

For your microSD card, I highly recommend (based on personal use) a Meenova adapter.
You could use a USB OTG adapters, which are sometimes just $2 or $3 each (check Amazon and eForCity), along with a microSD reader to USB plug. I haven't been able to get my microSD reader to work with my USB OTG adapters, which is probably my particular cheap reader. And the Meenova will be much smaller.

Is there a reason not to use a USB stick with USB-OTG instead to provide extra storage? Seems a more logical solution than adding a reader.

I still occasionally use a cordless USB OTG adapter with a tiny flash drive. However, the Meenova adapter is really tiny. A microSD card goes right inside.

Ooh... cordless OTG - I didn't even know they made them. Must go look... The Meenova could be the go I guess - got a couple of class 10 32GB's laying around.

I've used these with great success. Today the right-angle is half price, $1.99. Paired with a small flash drive like the Sandisk Cruzer Fit, it's like a larger thumb drive with a micro USB plug.

How can you see if it's a USB 2 or 3 cable?

Maybe it's a regional based issue? Anyone in the USA not get the USB 3.0 cable?

from T-Mobile store, got USB 3.0
I received the wider USB 3.0 cable with my black S5 from the T-Mobile store.
It was bundled up in plastic and seemed to be standard-included.

NL - KPN
Only USB2 cable
Using both usb2 ( in charger ) & already pre-owned usb3 for data transfer

If I remember corectly from the note 3 forum fast charging was enabled only with us 3 cable. Someone please make a test to see if it's true or not.

How much time it's taking to fully charge

About one hour to charge with USB 3.0

Less with aftermarket 2,1a and better cable... Not sure if it's coz of USB 3 or I just have better USB cable but I charge from 5%/10% to 100% in less than an hour...
With the included USB 2 cable and aftermarket 2,1a charger it takes a bit less than 2 hours...
