My Samsung MHL cable sometimes doesnt work.

Or it is the phone?

The HDMI cable is working perfect with xbox, laptop and anything else. And my other HDMI cable's aswell.

But when i put the charger in the MHL and HDMI. I have to twist the cables to make it work.

It was also delivered in an envelop and thrown through the mailbus.

While my OTG of the size from 2cm to 1.5cm is packed in a box the size of an house.

i bought this one http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/...0&searchstring=usb+host+cable&urlrefer=search

but when i plug it in, i always get the 'usb connector connected notification' but most of the time when i open the notification tray the usb connector connected notication would have disappeared (but not always). when ever it has disappeared from the tray and i connect a flash drive, i still get a 'usb mass storgae connected' notification but it doesnt show in the notification tray and if i use a file browser, the files dont show up on the usb storage folder.

the same usb otg cable worked fine on a SGS2 that i borrowed once to see if it works.

but sometimes along with the notification, it shows in the tray as well and in that case when i connect the usb stick it always shows its contents. same equipment but most of the time does not show contents. fed up, so ordered the official samsung one and will come tomorrow and see if it works.

if not will seriously think of returning the device to amazon.de and instead buy the sgs3 when ever released in a few months. like the note screen but wanted the usb otg and mhl features and if they are flaky no point paying a premium for a half baked faulty device.

Ive got my things working.

But not every mouse and keyboard works with the OTG.

I have 4 sets of logitech mouse +keyboard, only one works.

I have 2 sets of a weird brand keyboard+mouse, non works.

I got a flexible keyboard and a usb hub mouse from Konig, doesnt work.

It seems you got to find the right equipment.

The nasty thing is, i want an flexible keyboard with an mouse + hub in it.

So i can move my Note everywhere on my work with those two items in my pockets (Work clothing has big pockets, but not for a full keyboard fixed).

I got to find the good set, anybody knows what to look for exactly?

Nobody says any stats actually.

my old 2.5£ OTG and new samsung 8.5£ OTG both work fine now.

You need to connect it in the proper sequence. My old OTG did not come with any instructions on how to connect stuff. so i thought it was faulty when it did not work. but it does work, i was connecting the cable first to the phone and then the flash drives, samsung booklet says not to do it like this as may damage phone.

samsung booklet says to connect device to OTG cable and then to phone, when i do it like that then my samsung cable and the old cheap cable both work fine. earlier the old cable was not sensing stuff intermittently as i was connecting the cable first to the phone and then the flash drive.

so remember to connect OTG device to OTG cable and then to the phone, now all my flash drives work with both OTG cables without issues today every single time i connect them. it might be the same sequence that needs to be done with all devices.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] damitch300:
This is wrong i quess.

Since i still can use only pair of my keyboard+mouse of all the pairs i have.

And even if i push in the otg cable first and then the otg item it works.

^ It works but not recommended by Samsung.

Here is the USB booklet in the package.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] bubblesmoney:
as mentioned in above posted you can see what is recommended by samsung in the booklet accompanying the samsung OTG adapter.

Doing it the other way around works sometimes but not always, and as samsung says it may damage phone, best to avoid screwing around a costly phone.

BW following samsungs recommended mounting method, apart from flash drives, i can also mount an archos 605 media player with 40gb hard disk on it. i managed to copy over a 2gb file. actually the file was 4gb but the phone just copied over 2gb instead.

The advantage of the archos 605 with dock is that it can record TV or anything that passes through it and then can copy that recording over to other devices. so the 5y old archos can do stuff that most new products cant do yet. so plan on using my archos 605 as a dvr and the transfer those files over to my note.

but my note is crashing and rebooting too often for my comfort and stock file browser hanging too long processing things on opening every folder for too long, stock video player crashing all the time and unusable and wallpapers (stock) crashing all the time and automatically reverts back to what came installed as home screen on phone instead, scrolling lag in some apps sometimes too, too often all my homescreen widgets and apps disappear and i see blank home screens, so fed up now and am going to contact amazon for a refund or new replacement now.

Galaxy Note pluged into WD passport with Y USB

Since there not enough power to feed the WD passport, do you want to try it with a Y Cable for External Hard Drive - USB A to mini B ? (search "StarTech.com USB2HABMY1 1 Feet USB Y Cable for External Hard Drive - USB A to mini B" on Amazon, since I can't post link.. since I'm a damn n00b here!)

And if it's working, mind to split the HD with multiple 32Gb FAT32 partition (Max partition size, and Note can't read NTFS natively) and see if the phone see all the multiple drive ?

Thx!!

* And you cannot create a file larger than (2^32)-1 bytes (this is one byte less than 4 GB on FAT32)*

---------- Post added at 07:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 PM ----------

... This may sound stupid to plug another USB power source to get access to the HD .. but I've just buy a Goal Zero Solar panel with the Guide 10 plus Battery Pack.. and it's exacty a USB power source... ( with all my nice AA NiMH Batteries powering all my nice junk.. on the run )

Hey! what happend if you plug 2 Mobile at the same time with this cable?!? The fastest win? You can share the file and still get enough juice to power the HD? .. oh my oh my..

*edit: ahh forget it ! you would need a 2 mini B plug instead!*

Do all OTG cables work ? I just bought a generic OTG cable from the computer market here. Firstly the micro usb jack is a seriously TIGHT fit, its so tight that there is a danger of break the connector on the phone.

secondly nothing works... no usb pendrive or keyboard or mouse. do i have to install a usb host app or the support is built in?

i tried this connector on my friends SGS and SGS 2 with NO success.

i have also bought a female to female USB jack. when i connect the samsung micro usb cable to one side and attach a pen drive on the other side nothing happens. same with keyboards and mice.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] bubblesmoney:
are you sure you are using an OTG that works with the note or sgs2???

some nokia OTGs dont work by the looks of it.

are you connecting it in the correct sequence. first connect otg cable to flash drive then connect it to the phone. if you do it the other way around it can be flaky at most times in my experience.

also sometimes the OTG is temperamental on my phone. just switch off and restart then it works fine! the same applies when i am using official samsung otg cable or a cheap otg cable, same flash drive.

i have tried 2 diff otg cables, different flash drives, dell mouse, archos 605 with 40gb hard disk all were recognised and worked, although when trying to copy 4gb file from archos it said copied but had copied only 2gb work of the file and cut short the music videos i had recorded from live tv using my archos 605with hub using EPG for timed recordings.

btw wish the note comes with a hub for tv or any recordings like my 5y old archos 605 allows and my archos and hub etc cost far less than my samsung note, but thats another story. my archos OTG features are miles better and more stable and NEVER fails like my note OTG features. if you are going for an official presentation and want to bank on your phones otg for using flash drives for shwoing your presentation then you are asking for trouble because the phones otg is flaky at best compared to my old archos 605.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] DJ_smooth:
An OTG cable is NOT just a USB data cable with a female to female adapter. If you look carefully at a micro-usb connector, it has 5 pins. If you look at the other end, it has four. That extra pin is connected to nothing in a normal cable but is connected to ground on an OTG cable.

You either have to buy a cable specifically made that way or be handy with a scalpel and soldering iron and make your own.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] OmarMDQ:
I bought the Note a week ago. Today I made an OTG DIY cable with data from the forum, works great.

Tested:

Verbatim Pendrive ... OK

Logitech M100 mouse ... OK

Logitech NetPlay Keyboard ... don't work ( maybe not enough power )

Lenovo Mini Wireless Keyboard N5901 ... OK ( works the keyboard AND the trackball )

Logitech Cordless Desktop EX110 ... don't work ( maybe not enough power )

EUROcase Wireless Laser Mouse EUML1690... OK ( great little mouse )

EUROcase Wireless Optical Mouse EUMO1625W ... don't work

It seems the HID support in the Note (Stock GB 2.3.6) is a hit and miss affair.

The above mentioned peripherals ALL work in my ASUS Transformer TF101 Stock Honeycomb 3.2 ( plugged in the keyboard dock).

Maybe with ICS we can get full HID drivers.

I want to use a Verbatim 1TB USB3 HD with the Note. I know it needs an external power supply. Maybe with an adapter Y cable for power and external battery... another DIY project I guess...

Hey guys,

I have a problem with USB OTG adapter. Namely, when I connect any wireless keyboard/mouse combo it works perfectly and then a mouse or a keyboard, or both, stop working, even though it says mouse and keyboard connected..I'm using stock non root ICS and a plain micro usb to usb female adapter.

Any ideas? Would rooting my help?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Gigarant:
So as I now have root and am rocking an awesome ROM, I think I'm going to get an OTG cable, for the Note and any other future Android device.

I have read some horror stories (on this very forum) about generic OTG cables, but I'm not inclined to go for the original Samsung one as a) I'm not yet sure if my next phone will be a Samsung and b) the price is...stupid. (I've also found it on eBay but not for any less.)

As I only intend to use the cable to read USB drives (and the biggest I've got is 16GB) what could possibly go wrong? (Serious question, what could possibly go wrong...)

Last question; has anyone tried this all-in-one cable-less type with their Note yet? Is there any difference/advantage over the other generics?

Thanks-click pending for replies :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Gigarant:
No replies :( but meh...I went with the cable-less adapter, and it works (depending on ROM OTG support) - in fact I got a 16gb drive to work on the phone using it. So yeah, especially considering it takes up slightly less space, I'd recommend that one.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DangerZone1223:
Hey, guys-

I'm unrooted and running stock Android. I have all of my settings and apps exactly how I like them right now.

In the past, I've flashed different ROMs and Kernels. When I get tired/frustrated with them and want to revert back to stock, I usually just do the 1 click revert back to factory settings. When you do that, it... well.. erases anything and everything in order to get back to factory settings.

Nothing is broke. I just don't want to delete my SD card contents and lose root. I just want to revert to the stock kernel and ROM from another ROM and kernel.

I was wondering if there's an easier way to get back to my current settings on the stock Android and Kernels WITHOUT using the 1 click revert back to factory method? If there is, could you PLEASE tell me how to do it EXACTLY? I say that because sometimes people on here give instructions that are clear as mud. Thanks!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
Factory reset does NOT restore kernels or roms. It simply wipes user data.

You're confused. What you really want is a nandroid back up
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shank1020:
If you have ROM Manager installed, open it up and go to "Download ROM". At the very bottom of the list, there should be a selection that says "Stock Images". I'm pretty sure you can use that to get back to stock. I'M NOT POSITIVE, I've never tried it before. It may unroot your phone/get rid of clockwork mod recovery. Just a suggestion :)

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DangerZone1223:

That is to relock your bootloader. Just flash a stock rom in recovery with a full wipe, You'll be unrooted.

It's also wise to keep your content copied on a folder on your comp. 5 minutes of copying back and you got it all back. If you got all that sorted what you should always do is once you've got a stock rooted rom, run a nandroid backup/backup restore from CWM before you flash new roms / kernels.

i flashed the wrong thing and wasnt paying attention anyway when i reboot its stuck on the daul core screen is there no way to get into my recovery? also i have a locked bootloader can someone help me please o and i wont let me use adb
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
1) What does pull battery do?

2) Can you get into fastboot and scroll (vol down) to Android recovery? Sort of last resort but you could wipe and start over from there...
[Motorola Photon 4G] affliction:
no i cant get into fast boot when i pull the battery it boots up and says failed to boot 2

starting rsd mode

Then you should be able to plug in your phone and SBF...that will atleast get you to a stock rom.

There was a trick to do it by taking the red and black cables out of the connector and charging the battery.
[Motorola Photon 4G] affliction:
i cant really do that because my 3dvo messed up though not my fault to get the photon

also can u give me instructions on pulling wires out to charge the battery?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Cut old usb cord, pull your battery out attach the red to positive and black to negative. Charge using factory charger for 30 mins. Btw the battery on the photon makes it easy to do this.

yeah i did that amd it seems to be charging when i get enough juice i just need to figure out what to do next with my phone saying that failed to boot 2 and says it in

[Motorola Photon 4G] Jepod:
Just so I feel a bit more confident in what I'm flashing, when you say 154 and 198, you mean 154.5 and 198.7? I have only ever seen one 154.? file but i have seen a couple 198.? files floating around.
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Yes..154_5 and 198_7

that wouldnt work for me i had to after sbf hold down the volume and power at the same time then scroll through to get the android hard reset and that is what worked for me i just cant believe that nobody really had a good what you need to do if u brick/cant get to recovery guide.its not a knock on anyone i just think i will make a good guide and host some files so everyone can get to it without looking everywhere to get it

I have rooted my nook tablet. Using a honeycomb launcher

by syndicate apps. Now my problem is I can't place shortcuts in

my home screen. I've been trying to get anycut to work but after

making a shortcut newshortcut > activity > android keyboard debug

nothing shows up (Im trying to change the keyboard)

I've tried searching for a solution here but haven't found one. Anyone

found a way to solve this?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zmobie:
Have you tried unchecking and rechecking both USB debugging boxes? Occasionally that messes up the functionality of apps that require root to function (think Anycut does). What you're doing should work.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] BryanSo:
I did that and still nothing
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dkb218:
Have you tried a power cycle? Worked for me.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] 150pilot:
The first time I tried Anycut, I was using ADW Launcher and the shortcuts wouldn't appear on its home screen. Then I happened to go into Go Launcher which was installed but I wasn't really using at the time, and there were the shortcuts I had created. I have since switched to Go Launcher as my only launcher and the shortcuts appear every time. Just a thought, but maybe try having Go Launcher installed at least next time you try Anycut & see if they show up there. Worked for me.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nandnor:
I'm running into the same problem as BryanSo. I've tried all the aformentioned suggestions and I still can't make shortcuts or folders. When I try, the word "Honeycomb Launcher" in a box shows up on the top of the screen and disappears a few seconds later.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zaptoons:
Sounds like a problem with honeycomb launcher. Did you guys try GoLauncher like 150pilot suggested?

When you install any alternate launcher, it should bring back the option to switch to it with the n key- so you can always try it, and then uninstall it and reset your default.
