I just received the one from OP (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005FUNQXS/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00), and my USB works fine with it. Storage, however, doesnt: when i plug in my USB stick(Sandisk Cruzer) or self powered external HDD(Iomega 2TB disk), stickmount doesn't recognize it. Also: the USB only loghts up for a second and then it seems to be not receiving power. Any ideas what might cause this? (and is this the right place to start)

Google doesn't seem to helpfull

Edit:

Apparently I just had to reboot xD So if anybody has the same problem, try rebooting your tablet. It works great now.

I went with the Samsung one, a few dollars more but with Prime free two day shipping I wanted it before my Monday trip (Ordered on Thursday and got it today) Works great! I know have my 500GB Passport drive to take on long trips with me.

Cable is built very nice and I like the thin form factor and style of it.

OTG jerry rigged

I was wondering if you could use one of these Female to female usb adapter

and then plug the charging cable into one end and the other end could be a usb drive as i already have several of those and would like to know if this is possible at all or if i should just go ahead and order a new cable.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] mariolouis:
No it won't work. Usb otg cable needs 4th pin shorted to ground (5th pin). What you have there is straight through 4 pins only. You could modify your other micro usb cable then plug it in that.

OTG cable "bricks" Nexus7

Received an OTG cable from T&S Electronics through Amazon and tried it with two different USB memory sticks.

It always makes the Nexus7 screen go blank and will not even hard reboot. It will however, reboot whenever I insert the charger cable.

(Nexus7 is rooted and Stickmount is installed. Both memory sticks work on home computer. If inserting OTG cable only, ie no memory, does not kill Nexus7.)

Does anyone know why some OTG cables work while others do not? Is it cable impedance? I can't believe that they are so many wires wrong. Are there different wiring schemes?

Hi

I know that the USB OTG I got for my Nexus did not work with my Galaxy S3, as the S3 has a custom pinout so has it's own USB OTG. It could be the same on the Note, so the Note's USB OTG may be incompatible with other phones.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] MohammadAG:
OTG is a standard, the pinouts are the same across all devices.

The only thing different in the nexus is that it needs a longer plug, since the USB port is a bit too recessed so the plastic gets in the way.

Bonus. Was looking around for a OTG cable to buy then remembered a few months ago we bought our daughters cheap Chinese tablets (Ployer Momo 7" thingies) that came with a cable, dug out the box and bingo works perfectly with a memory stick, Micro SD reader and a mouse.

As a bonus other than being matt not glossy the micro USB plug is virtually identical to the supplied cable that came with my nexus, so it doesn't look or feel cheap at all.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] Sarchel:
I've bought 2 OTG's now. Locally, the first one I got was priced at about $3.50 when converted because I was so excited to find an OTG out here in the Philippines.

Tested:

Generic Controller

Generic 7" case with built-in USB keyboard

Flash drive, 4gb

A USB LED light =P

It worked......ok..if you're catatonic and don't move around. Then the whole thing just disconnects the device stuck into the OTG with small movements. I thought it was all those cheap accessories that has been causing the problem.

I gave up on the 7" case and bought a mini keyboard..to my dismay, it seems the OTG was the problem. So I bought another one, at a much cheaper $0.75 worth of OTG and BOOM! Works like a charm! Devices now fit snugly

Tested:

Xbox 360 usb controller

Flash drive

External hard drives (both using Nexus Media Importer app)

that mini keyboard

...and that LED light (because I love lights =P )

I also bought a generic 4 hub USB splitter and tried to OTG that and yes, both flash drive and xbox controllers were able to work. However, I'm still finding a way to charge my tab AND an OTG with a device plugged in at the same time. I tried clicking up some USB combinations but I've failed.

Any hints would be nice :)

[Nexus 7 Accessories] cmonsterf50:
Strange. Do you have another OTG cable to try? When you go into settings/storage, does it show mounted and usage there?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] bsoplinger:
Could it be that the USB stick you're using draws too much power? Or just a lot? And the device that it works on supplies a bit more juice than the Nexus does which is why it works on one but not the other? Have you tried any other devices? Have you tested the stick in a laptop or desktop computer just to be sure that it works?

I ask because my first Android tablet was an Archos device. Nice but cheap. Didn't provide much power for OTG use. There were all sorts of threads about which card reader or memory stick would work as people tried to get it working. As a result I have both a reader and memory stick that work great in my Nexus.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] d.a.v.o.r:
Well all of a sudden, it now works :)

Those of you having issues seeing your external devices, are you plugging the adapter to the nexus and then your device? whenever I do that my drives won't be recognized, but if I plug the adapter to my device then the nexus, it autoreads it properly.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] dchang0:
one-piece OTG adapter works

I can personally confirm that this adapter works correctly as OTG on a Nexus 7. It is sold on ebay by a member called "soonwell-digital" in China.

I can't post the link, being a noob. Just search for soonwell-digital's store, then search within that store for OTG. They only carry this one kind of one-piece OTG adapter.

It also happens to work perfectly with my Samsung/Google Galaxy Nexus. I am running an SNES USB gamepad (soldered myself with the RetroKit from retrousb.com) through this OTG adapter into the phone running Snesoid. Snesoid does require that you customize the gamepad mapping for the buttons, so those of you who try this might get a little apprehensive if you try to play a game without first creating and saving an input profile.

The only bad thing about this OTG adapter is that because it is a one-piece unit, anything you plug into it just sticks that much further out the bottom of the Nexus 7. This could be a deal-breaker for some of you who use the Nexus 7 in portrait mode. It's not a problem for me, since I play Snesoid in landscape mode, and the OTG adapter sticks out to the right.

Hope this helps somebody. This thread helped me get my old-school gaming on--thanks guys!
