I have an otg cable, yet none of my accessories work with it and my RAZR MAXX. My question is whether or not I need a powered hub when using the OTG cable. I have seen set ups of other android models using a SIXAXIS controller and otg cable, yet no hub. In this case, it the powered hub not needed since the controller itself is supplying its own power?
Thanks,

USB controllers don't work?? I'm interested in this as well

When you open the app you should see 0 devices under Android and Linux tabs. Now connect just your OTG cable nothing plugged into it and hit refresh, something should show up, usually under the Linux tab that identifies the USB host. Even if the USB host doesn't supply power this will still work as I have tested it on my Touchpad which has no OTG power.
If you saw something appear when you connected the OTG cable, than OTG is in the Razr M. Now try connecting your gamepad and refresh the device list. If its not showing up then there is either something wrong with OTG or you need external power. This program will ID any USB device connected, even those which Android doesn't support since its just matching the device against a list it has. Try getting a USB keyboard/mouse working ad those are universally supported on Android and would confirm if USB host works.
Questions go in the question forum too...
Here's a dumb question. I just ordered a female USB to male micro USB. I wanted to be able to yank pics off my camera and drop them on my phone. Would I need an OTG adapter or does that plane adapter work?

An OTG cable has a extra pin in it that is tied to ground in a OTG cable which tells the hardware to switch to OTG mode. A regular USB cable will leave this pin open.
If I'm able to peel open this adapter that I got, and jump pin 4 to 5 should it work as an OTG cable?

Its possible, as shown here:
http://tech2.in.com/how-to/accessor...sb-otg-cable-for-an-android-smartphone/319982
For me I'd rather just buy an OTG cable, but if you have regular microUSB cables laying around, go for it.
Bought an OTG cable
Bought a simple OTG adapter from newegg. So far....plugged in a mouse and my camera. Both work flawlessly, my camera gives me the choice of either either MTP (?) that goes straight to gallery and image import, or Storage which prompts to a new usb mount. Have not tried a gamepad yet, I have 2 floating around somewhere but not sure what game to try.
Hello
Apologies if this has been asked before. I can't find a definitive answer...
Has anyone managed to get access to an USB memory stick on the OnePlus 2 actually working?
I've just received my OnePlus 2 and have rooted it etc. I have bought a couple of USB type C to USB A female sockets, both claiming to support OTG. However, neither of them appear to work. I've tried with a number of different USB sticks, some of them with indicator LEDs on them. When plugging them in, the LED indicator stays off and there is no extra drive in settings/storage, even after ticking the OTG check box.
I have booted to TWRP recovery and tried to mount the OTG storage. The phone vibrates and the check box immediately disappears...
I'm not sure if I'm missing something here!
The two items I have tried are:
1. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00VGF2UPQ
2. http://m.belkin.com/uk/p/P-F2CU036/
Thanks for your time

Similar situation with me too:
So I have both of these adapters:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00W5BL1N2?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00XLF1BZ4?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00
Neither seem to work for me? I am trying to connect to a flight control board, so using a normal USB -> Micro USB, but the boards in question do not receive any power, nevermind data!
Any ideas?
Grr....
it seems that the problem is that does not support USB 3.1 (and do not know if not 3.0), the adapter must be old (not blue)
Both the OTG adapters I have support USB 2.0/3.0 and 3.1, but neither of them work.
What you are saying is you need a USB Type-C 2.0 adapter? Not seen those anywhere, are you sure they exist?
Same here. Doesn't work, using an adapter with a micro USB OTG cable doesn't work (this combo cable/Kingston USB 3 key works very well with OPO)
And it doesn't work either with this OTG cable

Stupid question but did you guys enabled otg option in your storage settings. I just received my Oneplus 2 yesterday and I saw that setting and enabled it. I am still waiting for OPO's C adapter that's out of stock on Amazon India and only then I can verify whether that really does make a different or not.

What do you mean by the c-adapter? How do you connect it? C-adapter connect to an OTG? Or the OTG is integrated with c-adapter in it?
Cus I bought a separate c-adapter then connect to my micro USB OTG cable..

I picked up this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZWN64RS and it works great!
OTG works but you need a USBc OTG adapter.
Using a USBc to MicroUSB adapter with a MicroUSB OTG cable does not seem to work.
I don't have write access as a user, only READ ONLY
I tried several known good USB drives. I tried several file managers. The system can write and reformat the USB drives. The Nexus 6P is not rooted. Is this normal? Any suggestions to get it to work? My head hurts from banging it against a wall.
Sorry to post dig, but ive got a working adapter but im seeing an issue:
- Sub 5mb per second transfer speeds
This is with es file explorer, but on other android devices with the same usb2 stick i cam easily get 14mb per second.
What speeds do you guys get?
I was able to get OTG working when I got this adapter ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017MP658G ). Not every device works on it, however. Several USB thumb drives have worked with no issues, one inexplicably does not. Also, and more disappointing, is that my USB to SATA adapter doesn't seem to be recognized. I have a 120gb SSD that I used this method with my LG G3 and it worked fine.
Maybe it's the adapter? Changing setting from "supply power" to "transfer files" does nothing to change it. It sees there's a USB attached, but doesn't read the format.
I've tried several USB to type C adapters with stock Nexus 6p. All of adapters had USB3.0 support, it's important. They all worked fine with USB2.0 flash drives and they all didn't with USB3.0 flash drive. I've ordered some adapters USB2.0 to type C to test.
UPD: I've tested six USB to USB type C adapters with both USB3.0 and USB2.0 support - they all not working with USB3.0 flash drives and work wine with USB2.0 flash drive. Also: the phone can recognize the drive but can't mount it.
I'm sure this is the phone issue - I've seen successful mount of my test flas drive with one of adapters on some Xiaomi phone.
I have a new S7 Edge. Works great. Using the OTG connector provided with the phone by Samsung, it recognizes all sorts of great devices, including usb flash drives. However, I've tried it with 3 different brand/size USB 3.0 flash drives and it doesn't recognize any of them, despite the fact that if I pull it out and plug in a USB 2.0 flash drive, it comes right up.
Is there a special app/setting for USB 3.0 flash drives or is this a limitation? I know the port on the phone itself is only USB 2.0, but 3.0 is backwards compatible, otherwise you couldn't plug a 3.0 flash drive into any 2.0 port. My guess is that the OTG adapter doesn't somehow work with them, but I'd like to know if anyone else has experienced this and if there's a work-around or not.

Are you rooted? Try using StickMount, if you are.

No, I'm not rooted. And I don't want to be. I heard that the Xbox One controller should be able to work with the S7 using the provided OTG adapter, but whenever I plug the controller in, the phone goes into a reboot loop.

I change my phone to xperia x compact recently, I find the type-c USB is easy to use.
I have a otg usb drive with micro usb, which is working on samsung s7, dell tablet. I wonder if it can be used on XC.
Thanks
Not sure about your micro USB OTG drive, but I purchased a separate OTG type-C adapter which connects to my USB card reader just fine.
I tried to use a type-c to micro USB adapter, it doesn't work. Maybe I have to buy a type-c otg adapt first.

May I know what brand is your adaptor? I tried a couple of OTG type-C microSD card readers, but none of them work.. it simply don't seem to be providing power to the adaptor.
I could use a mouse using:

Even this doesn't work for me. My phone seems not being able to act as USB host and not recognising anything plugged in the type-c port. My phone is rooted, not sure if it's the cause.
I use the sony type-c dual flash drive and it works flawlessly
Still not working. I used a voltage reader and found that there is no voltage coming out of the USB port, no wonder it won't detect anything. No sure if my phone is faulty (doubt it, as the port works perfectly when it is USB client) or due to setting/rom/kernel...

Do you have a pop up screen asking you what to do when you connect anything to the USB port?
BTW, my USB OTG adapter is of a brand REMAX.
no, nothing happens as if the phone does not know something is connected. but works ok when connected to another host (pc or power source)

Thanks! Finally i got it to work. Sorry that I had been trying type-c usb reader instead of a true type-c otg adaptor + reader... so, it fact it would work with a type-c otg adaptor.
