Hi all,
I bought a USB OTG cable, but I can't seem to get anything to work?
I used this http://im.tech2.in.com/gallery/2012/jun/difference_circuit_271738111300_640x360.jpg as a reference and checked the pins on the cable. They all seem fine.
I've tried a Kingston DataTraveler G3 flashdrive, WD 1TB External HDD and a Dell optical mouse - nada??
Is there anything on my phone that I need to configure to get this to work? (I'm on stock) What am I missing?
Thanks,
D
I tested the Note 3 for USB 3.0 OTG connectivity.
I could not get Superspeed transfers, only USB 2.0 speeds.
I confirmed with the Charger Doctor and multiple USB devices on an unpowered hub that the Note 3 does output the full 900mA of current that a normal USB 3.0 port would. This means that the Note 3 is fully capable of outputting 900mA of current for OTG devices.
I confirmed that the Western Digital USB 3.0 My Passport hard drive (formatted to exFAT) was fully powered and provided sequential reads and writes.
However, the most I could get was 39MiB/sec, which indicates that it is operating at USB 2.0 speeds. Has anybody had success getting the Note 3 to operate at USB 3.0 speeds when using USB OTG?

Hi All
I am currently facing an issue with using a USB 3.0 Flash Drive on my N9005.
I recently bought a Kingston DTHX30/64GB from Amazon and the benchmark which I did personally at a IT Retail Shop at the mall using their AlienWare Laptop show that the USB Flash Drive is working perfectly at > 300/150 (W/R).
I bought an OTG Cable from a local online shop but the benchmark shows only 30/20 (W/R).
The only tests that I have yet to conduct is to borrow another N9005 to verify if the fault lies on the cable or my phone.
Anyone out there is facing the same issue?
Is this a firmware issue?
Pretty sure the standard OTG cables are usb 2.0 only. Need a OTG cable with the correct USB 3.0 connection.

The current USB 3.0 OTG comes from a Local Online Retailer in Singapore which got their cables from China too, but not sure if their source is reliable.
Anyways, I have ordered an OTG this time round that will be flying in to me from China. Let's see if this cable works.
Sorry for double posting as this is an update post.
The USB 3.0 OTG I personally ordered from China came today and I immediately put it to test.
The packaging and the cable is exactly the same as the one I bought from Singapore.
And the results? It's also exactly the same.
This time round, I am going down to Sim Lim Tower to get an Engineer to specially make one USB 3.0 OTG for me and I shall put that to a test. I think this will cost me like 15 to 20 USD (20 to 25 SGD)
I shall name my cables, OTG A (The one I initially bought online from Singapore), OTG B (The one I ordered from China) and OTG C (The one I get from Sim Lim Tower).
I have tested OTG "A" and OTG "B" using on my friend's N9005 and the results are the same.
The next test will be that, I will format my USB 3.0 Hard Drive to Fat32/exFAT and test using all 3 OTG cables.
Can it be my Kingston USB 3.0 Flash drive not compatible with the OTG Cable?
Please enlighten me. I saw somewhere on this forum that we need to activate USB3 on N9005 to use it?
I've been unable to get the SM-N900T to link up USB 3. I've been looking in the kernel source and doing some debugging and the USB 3 host controller isn't even registering a USB 3 device connected to the port. Just a USB 2 device. I've looked at some of the datasheets for the Snapdragon 800 processor in this phone and its not really clear if it supports USB 3 OTG, or just USB 3 MTP as a device.
I'd love to get a definative answer from samsung or qualcomm but for now i've given up on USB 3.0 OTG with the Note 3.
I too would love to hear if it is possible to get the phone to USB3 in OTG mode and not just MTP. I purchased 2 "USB3.0 OTG" cables expecting faster transfer speeds with my external USB 3.0 SSD or USB 3.0 memory sticks. No such luck.
When contacting the seller to inquire about the inability to transfer at superspeed, I was just given responses like it must be a bad cable and will issue a refund. I purchased 2 of these and both have identical transfers speeds.
Likely just get a refund as it looks like it may not be possible to switch the phone to USB3 for the OTG. Bummer.
I have a couple different cables coming today. If they both test at only USB 2 then I'm going to call it a fail.
What i really don't get is why the would put an xhci host in the snapdragon if they weren't going to support USB 3 in host mode.

I just posted some more results on USB 3 OTG support. I probably should have just put it in this thread but here is a link.
Short version. Still no luck

I've tried a variety of USB 3 OTG adapters and none of them have worked correctly. Suspect OTG functionality doesn't work with USB 3?
Okay
I have tested with 2 different 9005 and 3 USB3.0 OTG Cable from 3 different source.
Everything doesn't work. All possible test are conducted and test results are at USB2.0 speed.
N900 N9000 and N9005
N900 is the Note 3 Neo version. It has USB 2.0 only
N9000 is the Exynos version with USB 3.0
N9005 is the Snapdragon version wiht USB 3 ports but USB 2 speeds.
I want to buy this phone as I can use an Image App to control a camera, and then copy the SDXC card to a USB3 HDD.
Could someone kindly confirm with a quality USB 3.0 OTG cable that the N9000 Exynos version is capable of USB 3
speeds while operating as a USB 3 host ?
N900a n900t
I have both a N900A and N900T rooted and running android 5.0.1 roms.
Having the same results as the rest of you, ~35Mb/s transfer speeds on usb 3.0 otg with a ssd. Quite disappointing.

Hello. Had my note 4 since release and just now trying to use usb host / otg and having no luck. Absolutely no devices are working on my note 4. Tried the otg adapter on my nexus 10 and its fine so unless there is a special adapter needed for the note 4 the otg cable is not the problem. I have tried a xbox controller a mous and a thumb drive and nothing not even led lights showing activation.
So any advice or is my usb port bad? Been using vanilla android for a while (nexus devices) is there a setting im not use to maybe?
solved
It appears my motorola otg is not compatable with the note 4. Tried a samsung otg and all works. Guess not all cables are equal?
I bought a type-c adapter for my Z1 to use OTG cable and Usb key. The key does not power on. I tried the adapter to charge the phone with a regular usb cable and it works.
Is this problem related to COS or is OTG function not supported on the Z1? Or is there a way to enable it?

I don't know if that has changed but for cm you have to use an app like StickMount to be able to mout the USB stick.
Ok thanks, I guess I have to root then.
I used only es file Explorer and it worked for me. I testet Ext hdd, mous, keyboard and controller
Same, no root required, just an usb C OTG and a file explorer. Be aware that the OTG or the device could be uncompatible...

I bought a USB-C to USB-A Converter and it works for me. Official USB type-c adapter has no support for OTG.

This might be the proper solution, it seems.
" type-c adapter for my Z1 to use OTG cable and Usb key"
What speed did you get to ?
Lenovo Zuk Z1
I tried Xiaomi USB typeC adapter with a SanDisk micro USB memory and it doesn't work
I have the same problem.At my oneplus 2 with adapter working normal but at Z1 not working.
No solution about that ? I got 2 adapters now (noname and Victsing) but still no otg, and usb storage options are unavailable !
Does it support in twrp recovery.. i mean does otg recognising in twrp...???
Strange, it should work out of the box on COS 12.1...just received my second Zuk1 and hooked up the Z1 to my car to read out the ECU, it worked without an hitch! Did not try a USB stick though...
I have 2 cables, one is with the micro USB for which I use a micro USB to type C USB adapter, the second USB OTG cable already has already the Type C connector and connects straight up.
I never used my "charging cable" as the idea is to plug your USB stick straight onto the OTG interface cable.
i have rooted/unlocked zuk z1.
tried every possible stuff (es file explorer,stick mount, usb troubleshooting etc), tried changing the otg cable, tried changing pendrives, nothing helps.
can anyone please help me?
xda is my only hope
Is there any way to connect multiple devices I.E. keyboard & mouse through an OTG adapter? I have a powered USB hub and it does not seem to work.
I use this with my note 5, in the process of purchasing usb type c adapters to use with the nexus 6p, if you want to check this out.
