[Q] Dell Streak 7 OTG USB Cable

I picked up a few of this Streak OTG Cables and am trying to sort out what is needed to make them work on the dell streak 7.
Im currently running root 514 but the cable doesn't seem to do anything.
Anyone have any info on how to enable OTG on the Streak? They got it working on streak 5... figured should be supported by 7 as well.

There's only so many contacts on a USB port, so use a meter to compare to a Dell OEM cable. Unless there is something else in the connector?

This isn't a standard usb plug.. its for OTG USB Host... For Thumbdrives and USB Keyboards etc.
IT shorts out pins 2 and 4 to get the streak into USB Host mode. It was shown working for the Streak 5. Got some to try on 7. Donno if its not in the Kernel or what needs to be enabled.
TheManii you have any insight?

It needs kernel support, some custom kernels on the s5 have otg support and the s7 might.
Stock kernels do not though, even 5xx kerns.
Where did you buy it? When I last checked the guy that makes them only sold them in bulk, either that's changed or someone else is making/selling them now.

Hes still selling them in Bulk. I was able to get a few for testing as I plan to resell them if they are worthy. Not having kernel support in Stock build kinda puts a kink in my plans if thats true. But either way personally would like to have it working for my streak.
Any rom build suggestions I should try?

Hi mobilemedic... You managed to get to work OTG cable on Dell Streak 7? You bought it from HXCOMCHINA? Would it work on Android 3.2? And is it possible to connect multiple devices through a USB hub?

I got one, to not work.
Where did you see that they got it to work because i have a host OTG cable i bought that i cannot get to work even with a dell streak 5, I've tried all the USB mice and keyboards in the house and ive tried my USB thumbdrive, but i cant get them to work.
Have you or anyone gotten one of these cables that look like that,.. with the triangle (not a USB sign)? (except the triangle on mine is not white,.. just black)
Are they're extra drivers required that are not included in the latest dell streak update?

For the last time (and please someone close these threads) THERE IS NO OTG drivers from DELL.

You need a Y cable to power the USB device as the Streak 7 does not supply power through USB. Plug one male USB into OTG USB port, the other male into a USB charger, and your USB device into the female. Works on stock 3.2 rooted Streak 7. Mouse, keyboard, and Logitech gamepad all tested and working.

Is it possible to connect external webcam to GNOTE?

Is it possible to connect external webcam to GNOTE (Microsoft life cam studio)
I have heard since ICS it should be possible to connect usb devices as on a PC.

I have a project that I have been wanting to try using this but I have not gotten around to it. You have to build a custom kernel. The big question is can you charge the Note while in host mode? Normally in host mode the note is supplying current. If you have to supply current the whole time your camera is in operation, that is a serious hit to battery life.

That looks cool, but it is dissapointing that it would not be easier,if you ask me, this a huge flaw in android as an operative system, every operative system you can connect usb devices nowdays. And for webcams, you do not even need specific drives also... a general driver of course, not all functionality would work.
I hope for android 5.0 it will be more plug and play..when it comes to usb devices...
So yeah, I guess there is no easy solution to get the camera to work on my mobile. it would be nice to be able to record with it outside, cause the zoom is very superior compared to the Galaxy note camera, and both are 1080p, but the lifecam also have zoom.

Same interest here. Been trying googling about this but no luck. Anyone from xda able to do this?

I assume it would work, You would obviously need an OTG cable, But i dont see why you want a webcam on the phone ? It has a FFC (which isnt great but...)
I managed to get my phone to work as a webcam for my PC, Doubt it will be as easy to do it the other way tho !

Nope was just wondering since we can connect thumbdrive..thought to try out the webcam

USB to Ethernet adapter

So since the N7 supports USB OTG I was curious to know if a USB to ethernet adapter would work.
I ended up buying this one: http://www.amazon.com/Plugable-Ethe...10/100+Fast+Ethernet+LAN+Network+RJ45+Adapter
Got it in the mail today, plugged it in and it works great. It's only 10/100 so it's not super fast but still.
I mostly was curious because I could definitely see myself using this at work to ping printers/computers to see if they're having network issues and things like that.
Make sure you plug everything into the adapter/OTG cable BEFORE plugging it into your N7. While using a mouse/keyboard/hub I noticed if you plug the OTG cable in first and then a peripheral, the N7 won't recognize it.

I'm definitely interested in doing this for my Galaxy Nexus (VZW). I would use it for the same reasons mentioned (work). Could you elaborate on the steps you took to achieve the connection? Is there a particular app that used? How do you look up the IP configuration? ifconfig? Are you able to set a static configuration? Does it work with POE ports? I know I threw a bunch of questions at you, thanks for any help you provide.

You just plug it in and it works. There's no notification or anything.
You can see what your ip address is on the N7 by typing ifconfig wlan0 or by going into the settings for wifi or ifconfig eth0 if it's plugged in.
I know how to set a static ip address through the terminal but it only lasts until you unplug the adapter. Once you plug it back in it goes back to DHCP.
It doesn't work PoE though 'cause it's bus powered.

Would you mind telling me how I can set a static IP? This would be very helpful to me. Thanks.

if you cannot set this on the tablet (as this is USB not Ethernet) you should still be able to do this on your router via dhcp settings as I do for all devices in the house as I believe its more stable and you can get to any device then via its static IP. ie printer, music server. It also means that when you move around you do not suffer from the device always having this same address ie mates house, work etc.

You could do that too and it would be whole lot easier than doing it through the terminal on the N7

Couldn't get it working with a Gigabit Ethernet Adapter. I'll have to get the one you have working.

Wouldn't a Gigabit adapter have to be USB 3.0?

I forgot to mention that with this adapter, once you shut the screen off, it turns the adapter off also so it's not constantly draining the battery

Hey, I don't mean to sound dumb..but this is the first time I've ventured into something like this. We don't have wifi at work, just LAN..would this be a good purchase to access the internet using LAN connection? Also, did it come with a micro usb connection as well? Thanks!

If you don't mind paying $20 then yea it's a good way. It doesn't come with a micro USB connector though. Gotta get a micro USB to USB adapter

OTG cable what works and doesn't work

I purchased some cheap OTG cables a while back off Amazon and don't remember them ever working on my Bionic, Thunderbolt, DroidX, LG Revo, Sero 7 Pro, or Nook Color. I plugged a USB stick into it and it worked great on my G2. Even found a way to record the HD 1080 60fps video directly to USB stick via OTG. Also mouse via hub and memory stick all worked together. No go for USB LAN.

Rohde and Schwarz NRP-Z21 and Z24 power sensors work (when used with an NRP-Z4 USB adaptor cable). Not a very common thing but it sure is convenient if you do need it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think OTG works without USB host mode on the device. Special kernels were always required on the earlier devices to get anything connected via USB and not to a computer to transfer data. From what I've read, the G2 has USB host mode enabled, so all sorts of stuff should plug right in and work. USB LAN might work with kernel tweaks, but that is beyond my somewhat basic knowledge.
There is a great mini micro SD card reader on another thread that would skip the use of OTG cables for simple storage expansion, and has a USB pass-through for plugging in a stick rather than a card. I believe the cost was around $12. That is a fancy set-up you have there, but seems spendy in comparison.

Nice work Cesar! im helping a friend with his G2. this is going to make his tethered hotspot phone even better.

What type of connector is this?

I've lost the charging cable for my motorcycle Bluetooth unit and after about 20mins googling to find a new one with no success I thought I'd come and ask you clever chaps to see if you could shed any light !!
It smaller than both a micro and a mini usb, will I be able to buy a replacement or is this some sort or proprietary port? I'll include a pic below for your perusal !!

I had figured out how to see the image...
You just need to copy the image link itself...
As far as the connector... It looks like it's a USB Type C. The cable your trying to use is a Micro USB.
Their very different and I've seen them get confused and even ruined the two.
Good Luck!

I used the micro usb cable for comparison in the pic, it's not mini or micro usb it's actually smaller than both...
My concern is that it's some sort of propietary port that in not going up be able up get hold of.

I believe I might have that connector stored away. What manufacture is the Bluetooth unit? If you can't find the cable you need with that connector let me know and I'll try to find it. If I have it I'll send it to you.

I m not sure, but it looks similar to the micro hdmi port that my sony Xperia had... Ages ago... Please check it...

That is ether Mini USB B 4pin, and before you dismiss it I know it is not Mini B 5pin that we all know it is not.

Otherwise it is as someone else said and is the same Mini B that is used on Sony Cyber Shot cameras. This is the one I think it is

Hey, isn't that a UC-E6 (8 pin mini USB) connector used on a lot of digital cameras?
Google 'UC-E6 cable' for comparison.

Micro HDMI i think

That is NOT a usb-c port. What u r trying to USE is a micro-usb. Idk about the other one tho.
