Haven't used my Nexus Player for months. Just updated to Nougat and noticed my Logitech K400 keyboard isn't working. I tried the dongle in my laptop and the keyboard works fine. I'm wondering if Nougat killed the USB OTG function or if my cable has gone bad.
I don't want to have reflash to Marshmellow if I don't have to.
Thanks.
My OTG is working with Nougat. I have a MS keyboard and mouse dongle.
My NP works fine with Nougat with a Logitech K700 keyboard (from a Revue) + Unifying USB dongle.
The only way my galaxy t810 recognized the USB stick is when I change the USB configuration of tablet to rndis (USB ethernet). Don't know why! But only for pendrives, still doesn't work for my HD (even with root and with paragon or any other app).

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
I use LG G2 D802 in Turkey.
Stock Rom with root access . I bought OTG cable for my phone (cheap one) and try to use it.
I used with USB Stick drive and microsoft basic wireless mouses.
But with the Logitech mouses and External Disk Dirves not work with this cable.
When I pluged the Logitech Mouses It seem mouse and keybord added to phone but any cursos appear. I wait a lot and restart the phone but not worked. I use Logitech Anywhere MX and M510 both didnot work.
Also When I plug 3.5"(with power supply) and 2.5(data usb to phone and other power usb to computer also didnot work. Only USB stickes work for OTG.
My brothers samsung S2(stock rom JB 4.1 with no root access) works with logitech mouses with same OTG cable.
up
any solution ?
Hi guys,
due to a the touchscreen no loger working I need to connect my Moto X Style simultaneusy to:
My Windows PC (ADB)
External keyboard (OTG)
So I basically need two USB input (one for PC, one for the keyboard) and one microUSB out to the phone.
I found this:
Before I pull the trigger, I'd like to know: will it work? I'm hesitant because I already tried with a "self-powered desktop USB hub" connected to a simple OTG cable and it didn't work (the keyboard work, but the PC doesn't see the phone).
Thanks!
Well, I connected a wireless keyboard with touchpad with the OTG cable and it worked both things, I don't know if your mouse and keyboard are wired and if they draw too much power to the phone, I connected once a portable HDD via otg and it worked, but for a minute or two, it drawed too much power...
I don't think you can have two usb host devices connected to each other (the phone and the pc). if it was a keyboard and mouse that would work.
Excuse me if my English is unfortunate, I'm Argentine and I have to use Google Translate to talk to you.
Directly to the point, our Moto G5 plus or at least mine, is not compatible with the USB joystick, something similar to what happened with the Moto e2 LTE, but for the latter there was a kernel that allowed the use of USB Joystick:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e-2015/orig-development/kernel-srfarias-uberdt2wl-2016-04-27-t3366997
My question is this: is there any kernel or rom that enables the use of USB joystick?
I'm using AEX Pie rom and I can confirm my otg wireless dongle connects to my Xbox style controller and can play asphalt.
I'm pretty sure I have used it on my stock ROM while it was Android Nougat.

Yes, I understand that it is compatible with the wireless controls that are connected by a USB dongle, the problem arises when a USB Joystick is connected through otg, it is compatible with the mouse / keyboard but it is not compatible with the USB Joystick
It's as if I had not sent enough power to the USB joystick.
And it's not my joystick or my OTG since I connect it to a J5 prime and it works correctly
I must add that it is not my Moto g5 plus either, since it is the second one I own and in none there was support for the USB joystick
I found the same thing with my device and USB joysticks. They would power on, meaning the lights on the joystick would turn on, but no input would be detected.
I could only get Bluetooth joysticks to work.

Hey, use octopus app, it available on play store , it should solve your problem, as the app is made for to use joy stock and other outputs. Give it a try i think it will work.
