Success with "nexus media importer" and can be mount using "USB OTG helper"

Its weird because i can do otg and another can't do

well

I will try it with both methods and I will try the usb host controller and the otg helper and I will let u know

Only identify what usb connected

Not to help enabling otg

If you have usb/usb hub that have light indicator, it will be very help

I use this hardware:

- Otg cable

- 4 port USB2 Hub (with led)

- USB battery with male male USB cable

- 500 GB HDD USB

- USB SD reader

How to enable:

Plug OTG cable on the Galaxy, Hub to OTG cable

Connect and disconnect 3 or 4 times very quickly the battery (or charger) to hub

You will hear "bip bip" and the icon will show phone in charge even if battery is not connected.

Led on Hub stay ON without battery connected, It's possible to read pen drive o SD card

Then I reconnect the battery, connect the HDD (phone cannot supply enough power to HDD) the card reader with an SD and I found 2 drive mounted on /sdcard0/USBOtgDrives and I can copy files from SD to HDD. :victory:

Just tried this on my rooted Xcover2 - seems to work fine - eg USB stick and mouse... :laugh:

One question to all however (didn't see an answer posted here yet): once all devices and OTG cable are disconnected the charge icon is still on "charging" which in my case means that the phone doesn't accept (locks out) any current from the charge adapter ie the phone doesn't charge...

A simple reboot fixes this of course but does anyone know another method without reboot?

Thx to all on the forum - very helpful to date

Nice, working on other device

[Galaxy S III Mini General] kitt97:
Hi to all, I'm new on this fantastic forum.

I tried the solution of the first post to enable OTG Usb on my Galaxy S3 Mini (GT-I8190N) and with an adjustment, I finally connected a pen drive to my smartphone.

First of all I want to say that I have

a stock rom

with CMW Recovery. Of course,

I have root permissions

.

Basically I followed the first three step but when I plugged the other usb male to a power source, the battery indicator didn't show immediately that the battery was charging but there was a very little time (2/3 sec) in which the cable was plugged, but the battery indicator stayed the same.

In this moment I quickly plugged out the usb male from the otg cable and I connected my pen drive.

Now I waited 5/6 seconds and the result was amazing!!

The smartphone was now entered in a "USB Host Mode".

So, if you unplug your device from the OTG cable, the battery indicator will remain unchanged and will show that the battery is charging (but actually not charging). Then, you can simply connect another device without redoing the steps.

To exit this mode you can choose two ways:

1. Simply, reboot.

2. Plug and unplug the device 2 or 3 times in 6/7 seconds.

I attach the logact dump of the first part of the process (detect the pen drive).

If someone wants some more logs, ask me whatever.

Hi,

I would like to make otg work on my phone as well, and I would like to make it work properly without playing around on the plugs. But I need help of the guys that managed to make otg work. Can you please tell me if you have these files in your root folder:

in etc/permission: files containing the name UsbConstants, UsbDevice, UsbDeviceConnection, UsbEndpoint, UsbInterface, UsbManager, UsbRequest and the files android.hardware.usb.host.xml and android.hardware.usb.accessory.xml

in /lib/modules there is should be a file called usb-storage.ko

thanks
[Galaxy S III Mini General] kitt97:
Hi,

In etc/permission: I have only 3 files containing "Usb" word: usb_print.xml, android.hardware.usb.accessory.xml and android.hardware.usb.host.xml (I think the latter file was added by USB Host Check with its fix)

then in lib/modules, I don't have a file called usb-storage.ko

I hope that this will help you!
[Galaxy S III Mini General] koragg97:
Hi, i've wanted OTG on my phone almost since I bought it last March. So I wanna ask did someone with the new I8190XXANA2 firmware try it?

I hope that in the newest firmware, Samsung have fixed it and you would just have to plug in the OTG cable and the flash drive (without other stuff).

I would try it myself, but don't have an OTG cable. I used an ordered one from a shop the previous time I tried to make it work, and returned it :(

---------- Post added at 08:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 PM ----------

Hi. In etc/permissions I have the following files : "usb_print.xml", "android.hardware.usb.accessory.xml" and "android.hardware.usb.host.xml" and in lib/modules I don't have any files with "usb" in their name.

I flashed I8190XXANA2 a few days earlier, so it's clean (I haven't deleted any system files, nor have I added new or edited the existing ones).

Yet in storage I can see about six USB folders below "ExtSdCard" and "sdcard", which means it still is possible somewhere deep in the phone!
[Galaxy S III Mini General] kitt97:
Hi,

the new firmware was released today in my country. Of course, updating, I lost the Clockworkmod recovery and, with it, root permissions. So I have all original system files.

Hopeful I immediately tried the otg cable without any stuff.... and I can tell you that Samsung hasn't officially fixed the "problem" :(

Following the steps of my post instead, everything works great

without root too

!!

I don't know exactly what Samsung has fixed with this update, but certainly they haven't implemented the OTG function on S3 Mini

Could anyone create an app to enter directly into the "USB Host mode" without any stuff? I don't think that it is difficult.

If anyone wants to know more about my method please contact me via PM.

[Galaxy S III Mini General] koragg97:
Unfortunately, OTG is still not implemented. There are ways to make it work, but if you ask me it's not worth it (you have to carry a lot of cables and remember how to connect them).
[Galaxy S III Mini General] kitt97:
Actually it isn't so handy. :(

This morning I contacted Samsung and they told me that the feature isn't officially supported, but could be implemented with the next updates (Samsung USA has recently made known that there will be Android 4.4 KitKat for our phones).

I also told them that I found a way to get it working and I explained it. They simply replied me that they will do verifications.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] koragg97:
Does it say that kitkat will come to the u.s. version ONLY? Because the new s3 mini (U.S.) has a faster qualcomm snapdragon (i think) 1.2 ghz cpu while the I8190 has a ste novathor 1 ghz cpu.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] kitt97:
The words in brackets has been added by me :)

In the last days there has been a debate between Samsung USA e Samsung Poland. The first one includes S3 Mini in the list of the devices that will be upgraded to Android 4.4, the second one no. If you want to learn more search on Google because here we are going OT.....

So i made a mod on my cable using ppwerbank as suply. It doesnt charge but it does support as the battery stayed on(or maybe less just a little).

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyepo:
Hi!

I have a Nexus 4 with stock Android 4.2.2, rooted with wugfresh and without any custom recovery (just root and BusyBox). And haven't tuned nor removed any critical service/system app. Just rooted and stock recovery.

I've detected some crashes on certain apps, mostly games.

For example: it happens to me in Angry Birds Star Wars. Just before the main screen, when app shows you an ad, angry birds star wars just crashes and reboots. If I'm fast and tap the "X" to close the add, app does not reboot.

Another apps I've detected that "crash & restart" issue in my phone:

- Candy Crush Saga (when connecting to my facebook account)

- Real Football 2013 (can't even reach main screen)

- Pudding Monsters (can't even reach main screen)

That issue seems to happen when app tries to show a "popup window" with ads or something (maybe connecting to other apps/websites). But other app games, like Royal Revolt! or Vector, show an add with a popup too, and they don't hang up and restart.

Tried all: uninstalling "dashclock widget", uninstalling "lockscreen policy" app, and other minor apps ... but nothing worked.

I have one friend with a Nexus 4. I've asked him to download and try Angry Birds Star Wars on his phone, he said it worked fine and normal, no crashes no restarts. He has 4.2.2 too. So what must I do? Wait to Android 5.0 to see if issue is gone?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Sounds like a fundamental program on your phone is corrupted.

You can try grabbing LogCats whenever an application closes, read them, and see what happened. alogcat from market will do.

I would personally backup all your data to your computer and go all the way back to stock. (again). Follow this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2010312

Note: My phone didn't boot the first time after completing this guide, so I had to go to ... stock recovery > vol-/pow > select recovery > vol+/pow to reveal menu > factory reset > erase cache.

edit: did you mess with anything in developer options? make sure HW overlays and GPU rendering are off.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyepo:
No, I didn't mess with anything like HW overlays or GPU rendering in developer options. I bet for some system process/file got corrupted when got my phone rooted, then OTAupdated, then rooted again.

As it's not a critical error (and I can live without playing angry birds star wars and other games) I think I'll wait unitil Android 5.0 update. Maybe then this issue will be gone. If not, then I'll backup data, reflash stock android 4.2.2 and try again.

I tried installing logcat but as I'm not an expert I can't see anything unusuall on the log. Tried installing, then running crashing&restarting apps, then looking at the log: just says "process XXX has died". But as I said, no conclusions (for my dev level). Here's one shot of that:

Thanks anyway!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyepo:
SOLVED!

That issue was due to "Don't keep activities" option on Settings > Developer Options. If it's ON, then when an app calls some popup, system closes app, so then system restarts it ... and there got your loop.
