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.

The auxiliary ports on all phones are crap, does the Nexus 4 support exerting music through USB? If not, is there a kernel that has the capability of enabled that function? Thanks.

Probably yes, but you would need a Y cable splitter for the USB power. In the end you'd get a really bulky setup. Not worth it IMHO.

I don't need the power I just want to send info to my car audio.

That is called USB audio out. The Nexus 7 supports OTG of of the box, but even then it cannot support USB audio out.

So the chances of it working on a Nexus 4 is slim.
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

Can someone tell me if this could work with OTG on nexus 4?? http://viewitem.eim.ebay.gr/I9500-I...B-Host-OTG-HUB--CARD-READER/161105862553/item

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.

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.
Does anyone know if this is possible on our phones?
I know otg works but never had a cable where you could charge too

It should work since it's not different from charging on PC and copy files at the same time. Just need a cable with a split end; one socket for the charger and one for the OTG device.

I just tried it and it doesn't work. My phone won't charge at all using the split OTG cable, with OR without a usb device plugged in.
Tried every combination of plugging and unplugging things that I could think of, and no-go.
I guess it's possible that my split cable could be the problem, but this worked just fine on my GNex, so I highly doubt it.
Dang, it will be awhile before I get the OTG cable, also waiting for the N3 DE. Can anyone second this?

I agree. Tested with this cable, and it's a no go. Works without a single issue on my Gnex as well.
I'm leaning towards kernel compatibility.
Edit: Something that it does differently on the Note 3 is that it immediately gives a notification stating that a usb device is connected as soon as I plug it in, even without a usb drive being attached. While still connected, attaching a usb drive works perfectly.
Thanks, that's a show stopper to watch movies from a USB HD. Maybe a Samsung accessory cable will work; sucks for those already having one though.

Does it work with multiple attached devices?
I imagine that powers the attached devices but does not charge the phone battery?

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.

There's a few that works and quite a LOT that doesn't...I got mine from the site Aliexpress.com - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/201...32522054659.html?spm=2114.13010708.0.0.Ml5TZX
Works like a charm
the Meevova adapter from amazon works great
