Regular OTG cable (not the Y type)

Did anyone manage to use a usb thumb drive with the regular OTG? I have one laying around in my room and AFAIK I need a custom rom to make the OTG feature to work. Since I am waiting for the official CM 10.2, I still run stock, I just wanna know if I have to buy the Y type...

The Nexus 4 cannot output 5v through the micro USB port.
The Y cable is your only way.
Look for the one with a male and female micro USB also with a female USB.

You should be able to use the cable you have but you would need to run it through a powered USB hub

Look at post #795. If your linked device is like marhensa's, it should work. However, it's hard to determine exactly.
Of course you need to flash ziddey's kernel for any OTG to work.

[Q] USB cable

What is the extra part on the plug where the USB cable plugs into the phone? I'll guess it helps with data transfer.

USB3

Yep USB 3.0. Faster data transfer if the computer has a USB 3.0 port and the charger that came with the phone combined with that cable makes for super fast charging. Cheers.

DIYS desktop dock. Some questions.

Hey folks.
I've been thinking about this for a while and I wonder if it is technically possible.
Basically I want to build my own desk dock. It should have HDMI output, charging and USB otg for connecting peripherals.
I'm not sure if it's possible this way, though.
I was thinking of using an otg y cable (with female usb and female microusb) as a base. The regular female USB would be hooked to an externally powered USB hub (just for the sake of having more than 1 USB port available). The female micro USB would be connected to a slimport HDMI adapter (to allow using it with a monitor or TV.
If anyone knows about the technical possibilities please let me know. Maybe someone has tried something like this before?
Thanks in advance

If I'm not wrong - n4 can't do usb otg and slim port hdmi at the same time.

What a pity!

USB C Adaptors for OTG

Can anyone tell me if there are any USB C to micro USB adaptors that work for OTG. I've tried a few brands and they will work for charging, but not OTG.
