[Q] nexus 4- otg problem , please help me !. - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey, i have a nexus 4 with android 5 and just flushed the kernel defcon-96u-unleashed-AOSP_mako.zip [which you can find here http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...nel-ultimate-unleashed-kernel-series-t2845768 ] .
this kernel supports otg, and it comes with a "synapse" application [there i made a "v" over the otg enable option].
iv'e got a small micro usb external memory storage of 32 gb flat32 , and when i insert it to the nexus nothing happends.
i guess as you can all see im really new with this ^^...
please help me! how can i fix it?

Should be a y with an external power source but you should really ask this in the thread for the kernel

as said in the previous reply to your question nexus 4 requires Y otg cable. the reason is that nexus 4 hardware does not support powering devices via usb so you need a y cable to power your usb externally

You just need to flash a custom kernel you can try this ONE It has otg support and works on cm 11 and android L

I flashed that custom kernel , and there is an option for otg which i have enabled but nothing comes up when i plug in the external memory.
I dont think there is a difference between using simple microusb external memory and a regular usb external memory conected via y cable.
Please help me fix it ! , i really need that otg.!

Two posts above yours. You need a Y otg cable and external power source for your usb

to my knowledge, the Android OS does not have USB host drivers in the kernel. So to answer the question, no android based phone would allow this. Also keep in mind that Power will be needed to drive the USB device, and the phone for sure won't provide that. So you would be looking at creating an power injector for the USB cable.
You might be able to pay/convince a developer to do this for you in a custom kernel, but that's about it.
I did find this where it was done with an HTC hero.. you might be able to work off of that work.

[ATTEMPT] Enable USB OTG host mode

I'm working on USB host support on our i9000. With the help of Galaxy Player kernel sources I think we manage to do this. Galaxy Player DOES support USB OTG host mode and is almost identical to our Galaxy S, the main difference is lack of GSM/CDMA module. Same CPU, same USB switcher (FSA9480) etc. Kernel sources looks promissing. You may say that i9000 is not able to provide power to power the device, but we can use self powered USB hub to do that
Look at the sources:
SAMSUNG OPEN SOURCE RELEASE CENTER -> Mobile -> MP3 Player & Etc. -> YP-GB1
What a great news! Following with interest!
Since this is not yet development, I will move it to general.
As soon as you have something ready, you can open a new thread in the development subforum or ask me to move the existing one.
Cheers
Awesome news...!!!
You are the guy!!!

Thank you. This will be great.

so much things can be variable from device to one other even if they come from the same brand "processeur,usb, drivers..."

Google helps dude. Search before asking.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_On-The-Go
Right there, first line:
"USB On-The-Go, often abbreviated USB OTG, is a specification that allows USB devices such as digital audio players or mobile phones to act as a host allowing a USB flash drive, mouse, or keyboard to be attached."

It won't work. Although the hub is present, the board doesn't provide the usb with enough power fot otg to work.
To get otg working, you will have to edit vbus and voltage values. It is very dangerous as it can fry your usb and/or the entire SoC.
So i would recommend only experienced members to do it.!

why gona to kerrnel ? i have just searched 1 minute and find this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.shajul.usbotg&hl=fr

Samsung gives features according to the price range of the device! Look at Galaxy Ace 2 and SGS Advance. Bith devices have same board, but ace is clocked at 800 mhz while ace is at 1 ghz.

But if the hardware exist...that leave us with the software,will it will be hard but we may be able to unlock it .Right?

USB OTG supporting
USB OTG is a really good function. I would be great if SG S3 mini will support it. I think, a problem isn´t in a hardware, but in a software and a good custom kernell solve this problem. I hope, someone help us with this as soon as possible. Please, please, please .......

First of all you need to Root Your Grand 2
Then change the kernel. because grand 2 kernel doesn't support otg.
Then Buy one OTG Y cable(available in online stores like Amazone) , because otg y cable allows to give external power to the usd flashdrive. grand 2 don't give output power.
Connect Usb flashdrive using Y cable and try again with stickmount.
I hope this helps

But thats ridicolous. There are some videos on YT thats shows S3 neo working with mouse, keyboard, usb and even PS3 controller. Like this for example: www . youtube . com / watch?v=GQkBr78kF2k
Next, the original Samsung Galaxy S3 was reported to be supporting OTG so why the upgraded version shouldn't support it as well?
Maybe that's just a kernel issue. I haven't tried it on stock ROM but maybe I will be desperate enough to do it
Anyway thanks for your reply. For a moment I thought no one will ever look at this thread.
