I have a rocket fish micro USB to hdmi cable. But it doesn't work.
Just wanted to know if there are only certain cables that work, is it a rom issue or what?
Thanks in advance.

Nexus 4 doesn't use normal mhl cables, only slimport

I'm assuming this a hardware issue then. No way to use what I already own

Two different technologies. You have to buy a slimport adapter.

USB Ethernet support for Nexus 4?

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.

OTG + Charging

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?

Trouble using OTG to connect to Cleanflight

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.

USB OTG -

Can someone tell me ..... does this phone support USB OTG ??

Used to owned P9 Plus. OTG works well . Using P10 Plus now. No problem with OTG. Check your OTG connector whether it is too short.

Yes it works even if you use a micro usb to usb c converter.
