anyone have a working wireless (not bluetooth) keyboard that works in recovery mode?
i dont mind at all using a wired keyboard on the A500, but having a wireless keyboard that uses the micro usb dongle would be awesome.
but will it work in Recovery Mode?
most dongles are legacy devices so work no matter what, but some will not.
anyone using a mini keyboard with a micro usb dongle and have it working in recovery and no issues in the OS itself?
I would think that'd work fine. I've tested a number of USB keyboards out and all of them were fine. I also just tested my wireless USB mouse and that worked great.
Me and few other people still asking about OTG capabilities so lets make combined thread for all.
What I figured out for now.
First of all RAZR i does not support OTG itself cause has no power on micro USB port so You need more than regular USB OTG cable.
You need minimum 1A powered USB HUB which means just buy regular 3/4/8 ports USB HUB but with 1A (can be 2A too) AC adapter.
So connection should looks like:
RAZRi -> OTG Cable -> USB Powered HUB -> USB Device
It's simple part. Lest make something harder.
List of devices which I tested:
USB HUB
KitKat should bring more OTG capabilitiesfor us so to prepare for that I bought new USB HUB with built in OTG support.
It the same like THIS one and it's dedicated for Samsung S3, S4 etc.
Hub is made not so bad, it has built in OTG support so no need other adapters and it has power connector.
To use this HUB You need to connect it to DC 5V/1A with 1,35/3,5 to USB cable. I used this cable and regular Moto wall charger. You can also use power bank as power for more mobility.
All my USB devices working fine under this HUB so I can recommend this for RAZRi.
Mouses and Keyboards
RAZRi has no problems to detect and handle with most of mouses and keyboards. No modifications are needed. Just Plug & Play.
USB Drives (Pendrives, HDD's etc)
Unfortunately none of them are working. Phone detects devices in some apps but drives are not detected as drives, just devices and they can't be mounted. I think without any kernel modifications drives can't be mounted. Apps to mount drives can't handle with it too.
USB Audio Devices / DAC
Unfortunately I have only 2 devices like that. Sound Blaster Surround 5.1 USB and Logitech Stereo USB Speakers.
Both tested with USB Audio Tester ROOT.
Creative is correctly detected but there is no sound on every setting.
Logitech USB speakers are detected correctly too but I was able to make it works but only to hear sound from internal microphone. No way to hear music or any sound from phone.
I tested SoundAbout Pro tp force playing from USB host but it failed. I don't know any other app can make it. Also I'm really noob at Linux so I have no idea what to modify in Alsa driver to redirect sound on USB audio device.
USB Game Controllers / PAD
I have only wireless XBOX360 pad so can be hard to make it work but heard somewhere that can be possible. In few days i'll check what can be done with it.
Tested with Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2, working like a charm without any mods. OFC You need to use button mapper or any similar app cause after connect pad is working like mouse but after remap we have fully working cordless pad.
USB Network Adapters
At this moment I tested only cheap RJ45 to USB adapter but it doesn't work. Strange cause activity led on adapter is blinking sometimes and it stops when phone is off but nothing except this.
Any other news, suggestions, tests of working devices are welcome.
Network adapters updated.
Wysłane z Motorola RAZR i.
You need to mod the kernel to add usbstorage like the samsung S3 and the framework apk i think, maybe some hardcore developers can help on it.
xbox 360 controller is detected as device but is not working something is missing cuz i added the keylayout for the device and is not working. but you can remap any keyboard keylayout to work as joystic XD.
Updated GamePads section.
USB HUB with OTG added.
Very nice, I tryed, and it works like a charm. I could use a keyboard and mouse runing Ubuntu 15.10 on CHROOT
Hello everybody yesterday i received my mojo. Console Works great but the control don't pair with the usb dongle in de mojo. PC and MAC recognise the usb but don´t pair..
However the control pairs perfect without using dongle in Galaxy s4, with the dongle don´t work. Any suggestion? There are any bt dongle compatible with mojo and ctrlr?
Thanks in advance. Regards!

If I understand you correctly, make sure the BT dongle included with the mojo is on the USB3 (blue) port.
Try turning BT on in android setup.. not sure why that would help, but just in case there's been an update..

If that didn't work, raise a support request with madcatz, probably a busted USB Dongle, (it should work fine on PC/android/ect, MAC i think might need drivers)
You can pair the mojo CTRLR to your galaxy without the dongle?? wow!
Man, I'm hoping it's a firmware fix coming
Also: There are any bt dongle compatible with mojo and ctrlr?
TMK, The dongle isn't actually BT, so I doubt there would be an alternative out there.

Yes, i plug the dongle on the USB3 of the mojo, but the controller doesn't pair.
Turning on the Bluetooth of the mojo doesn't detect the controller
in galaxy s4 with stock kitkat and without dongle the controller pair and works fine.
If i power off the bt on sgs4 and connect the dongle with otg USB phone detect new keyboard connected but controller doesn't pair.
Only pair without dongle and with bt 4.0 devices....... I'm confused.
Thanks for you answer man!

What model# is it?
My MOJO CTRLR is 32263 and my the retail CTRLR : 32266.
Maybe different firmware, I would raise a ticket with Madcatz, with a link to this thread.
"If i power off the bt on sgs4 and connect the dongle with otg USB phone detect new keyboard connected but controller doesn't pair."
Is that with the MOJO dongle, it works with a BT4 keyboard?
I hope it's a new firmware release for both CTRLR and MOJO :fingers-crossed:
Does the blue light come on the CTRLR?
Try holding down the start button for a few seconds, the light should go red'ish then try to repair.
That's very strange, did you check that both USB ports on the MOJO work?
I'm guessing it's a firmware issue or a dongle issue.

My dongle model is the same.. strange that it still works on PC/Mac (loading drivers) :/ dont know sorry...
Even with a BT4 USB adaptor, I doubt it would work on the MOJO because android 4.3 doesn't support BT4.
Raise a support ticket on the madcatz site.
that's a bummer, hope you get it fixed soo.
Same Problem here, Mojo paired with my phone but not with the controller. But the Controller works fine with my Nexus 5.
Same problem here. MOJO support doesn't seem to be much help other than disconnect it and reconnect but I can't even get it to pair. Anyone found resolution for this?
I also have the same problem, would installing a lower firmware help?, mine came with the 4k res and ouya update out of box, if I install lower firmware would that solve my dongle problem?
Thanks

No, don't bother.
FYI: @Coolin82 @rmraiden
TMK, the only thing you can do is install the lollypop custom rom, it doesn't need the dongle and pairs fine without it.
See the development forum.
Wow! That's really strange, I use the dongle on my PC(linux/XP) and mojo.. never had issues it, it just works.
Mine is now working. Mad Catz RMA'd my controller and sent me the new CTRL that doesn't require a dongle. Gaming is so much better now!! :laugh:
Oh nice, you got a retail version.. it has BT2 and BT4 that's why you don't need the dongle.
any solution ?
Folks,
I tried the USB on the go with Sandisk with type C converter and it's not working. Any ideas or anyone facing this issue?
Does your USB OTG / adapter converter work alright on other devices?
I have been fine with using a Rankie MicroUSB OTG with a Tronsmart MicroUSB to Type C adapter. Both are aftermarket type adapters.
i'll leave this here,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68206046&postcount=3
Works fine for me with cheap chinese microUSB to USB2.0 converter and adapter to USB-C that came with the phone. Stock A2017G.
No luck, i tested with the type c converter came with the phone and its not working either. Both converter work well as i use them for charging. I'm on A2017G B08, do we need to turn on something?
below is the flashdrive i'm using
https://www.sandisk.com/home/mobile-device-storage/ultra-dual-usb-drive-3
ZTE converter only works for charging and connecting to PC via any standard microusb/usb cable.
OTG works with most cheap noname converters, but maybe not with all of them.
I bought mine in a 99cent store in town and it works perfectly with all storage devices.
Even external mouse, keyboard and gamepad are working well.

It appears that it might have something to do with my sandisk flash drive as one plus also have folks having this issues....
Is OB18 or OB19 working with headphones using a 3.5" audio adapter to the USB port?
Has anyone gotten OB18 or OB19 working with headphones using a 3.5 audio adapter to the USB port? (So a USB3.1C -> 3.5 Audio jack adapter, which I have) ?
On OB18, I can see the settings that are supposed to make it work, but it doesn't yet recognize the adapter. Even if you're on pie on an OB6, have you gotten that working there? If I have to get a 6T for some reason, I'm just curious to know if the thing will work without bluetooth phones since it'll have no headphone jack, which I don't really like.
Many thanks.
Have you turned on OTG?

Yes, and enabled AUDIO Over OTG in developer options. And have two types adapters. It's not unusual. I've never seen more than one or two out of hundred's that've gotten this working. I hear it works somewhat in Android 9.
Found an OK alternative since my bluetooth works well:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075JBLGLB/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Bluetooth audio female in 3.5 and long charging battery: Works as well as my wired port.
