Yeah but it doesn't work without an external power source so these usb flash drives are quite useless for our Nexus 4...

I don't know if anyone else shares this opinion with me but sometimes I would rather have an externally powered OTG cable so that my already-quickly-draining battery doesn't deplete any more.But yes, the option should be available to those who prefer it.

Stickmount

I don't known if what I am trying to do is either not right or I don't know how to do it, I could not find a micro USB otg, so instead I bought a flash drive and a double female ended USB adapter and have my n7 cable on the other end to the tablet. Can this work or does it only work with a micro USB both adapter?

Usb otg, cables are easy to find.... Your solution won't work because there's nothing to trigger host mode

Found one for 2.15$ shipping from CA 3-5 days instead of the 4-5 weeks that the .89$HK ones.

I can confirm that USB OTG supports mass storage, and Touchwiz mounts it for you

Screen output via audio/video cables?

Does anyone know if its possible to get the screen to mirror using audio/video cables (the red, yellow, and white cables)?
My cars head unit has these cables in the back. I'd imagine I'd need the USB/HDMI adaptor, but is there a way to convert HDMI to audio/video?

Would this cable work?

Pretty sure that will not work as I believe Samsung uses MHL. You would likely need the SlimPort adapter and something like one of these.
Hey thanks. That adaptor you sent, you think I'd be able to power it via a car charger?

[Q] Phone won't charge

I found a great deal on a Nexus 4 on Craigslist. The seller says the phone does not charge at all but turns on when its plugged in. I would like to get a second N4 for the wife, especially for this nice of a deal and if it would be an easy fix. Just looking on some feedback as to what everyone thinks the problem could be and what else I could ask the seller before I make any kind of deal.

If I were you I would stay away from it. I would definitely get a new one from the Play Store.
Ask him how did happen? Was the phone's components exposed to water? :beer:

He says he thinks it could be the USB port, but I dunno. He says he can transfer files back and fourth using it on the computer, and screen comes on when plugged in, it just won't charge up.

I had similar issue. Phone discover the USB but fail with charge. I tried other USB cable (Nokia one) and it works perfect.

so the USB port works when he wants to connect it to the computer, but it won't work when he plugs it into the wall and tries to charge it?

Correct. USB works for file transfer only. It will not charge using wall charger or computer.

Nexus 4 connecting to PC only after 2nd attempt

Hi, when I'm trying to connect my N4 to PC for the first time, it's charging only and nothing happens. Have to disconnect and reconnect and only then it shows the folders etc.
Also I don't get autoplay dialog when I connect it, tried everything, settings in control panel, registry etc. Can You help guys?
