Cannot run USB OTG audio on Note - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys! So, I have USB otg, Logitech usb speakers and my Note. I tried many TW and CM kernels with roms but i still can't run my Logitech speakers via USB OTG on my Note When i plug the OTG with the speakers in the phone, the speakers's buttons react and the LED lights up for about half a second, and then it's like unplugged. Tried the OTG with speakers on Galaxy S3 and even ot HTC one x and it worked like charm. Can somebody help me run my usb speakers on my Note? Thanks in advance
PS: I tried on Galaxy S2 but it doesn't work neither. So my theory is that there is insufficient voltage or current on S2 and Note? But then why does it work on OneX and S3? I'm out of ideas.

I had the same problem earlier and it got resolved by changing the OTG cable. I use F &D portable speakers and they work like charm.

(Q) can I use MHL HDMI adapter via 30 pin galaxy tab to micro USB adapter

Hi ,
I wanted to use my galaxy s2 MicroUsb HDMI MHL adapter and OTG USB cable with Galaxy tab "7" with this 30 pin galaxy tab to micro USB adapter.
Any help regarding usb host and hdmi capabilities will be appreciated.
HDMI is supported via Samsung Media Dock. Could have googled for that. There is no listed USB OTG support listed for it, but there is a Keyboard for it, which could be indicative of UDB OTG support, at least of a proprietary nature. Both of these accessories require the standard charging cable to provide power during use.

I bought Mhl adapter because i was going to buy galaxy note. Then at the last moment i changed my mind and bought galaxy tab 7 t-mobile. My media dock as also arrived. But still waiting for 30 pin con to mic usb adapter and mini hdmi to hdmi adapter. I will let every body know if any thing is discovered.

As it stands, HDMI is available through the Dock as mentioned, but there is no USB OTG support. Keyboards can be connected to the 30-pin (Samsung keyboard) or through Bluetooth (third-party keyboards).
There was a project to get USB Host support going, but it seems to have stopped. You can try the OTG gear since there are many variants of Tab and many ROMs etc, but I don't think you'll get anywhere with them since the stock software doesn't seem to support anything apart from the Samsung official accessories.
I am working on getting USB OTG working, but it wont happen anytime soon.
You cant just plug in anything that fits and expect it to work. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 30-pin to USB and 30-pin to SD are for that device.
so in conclusion, it never work?
I was thinking of using OTG + USB to RCA cable rather than HDMI...
I am using GT 7.0 plus
see if someone can answer?
is the OTG P1000 USB working on the plus model?
thks!

[Q] HDMI adapter issue (MHL)

Hi,
I just received an OEM Micro USB to HDMI adapter today.
I connected my Note to the adapter and then to the HDMI cable of my TV.
Unfortunately there is no HDMI signal on the TV side.
Now, I don't know howto activate TV output on the Note. I don't even know if that's possible.
Can anyone guide me on how to activate HDMI output on the Galaxy Note ?
Should I make any settings ?
Should I play a video ? (or would it give out video from HDMI even at home screen ?)
Should I power the phone and/or the HDMI adapter through USB ?
Thanks.

Connect HDMI cable to MHL adapter, and other end into TV. (duh...)
Plug your charger cable into the MHL adapter. (output won't work without this)
Plug your MHL adapter into Note. (no configuring required!)
Everything you do on your Note will be mirrored on your TV/Screen, at the Note's native 1280x800 resolution. Plain and simple!
Video's that are played via the MHL adapter will be played at their own native resolution, up to and including 1080p.
Enjoy!
thank you.
it doesn't work unfortunately.
maybe my adapter is not working but it passes power through USB.
how can I understand if it really doesn't pass HDMI ?

It's possible that you have a faulty adapter. It should just be plug and play, but you have to make sure that the adapter is receiving external USB power in order for it to work.
ok; it works now.
the micro USB connector was not fully connected...
thanks.
Similar issue
Hi, me to facing similar issue. The MHL adapter when connected does not show any notification on the screen. The only thing it does is charging the phone. Does it mean its a faulty adapter?
i hope i am answering my own question but still if there is anything which i may be missing here

and what rom and kernel are you on ?
I'm on stock running ICS and I get funky results, sometimes it works for a minute or two sometimes just a few seconds. The problem seems to be on the TV, a Sony Bravia, the HDMI setting has to be Wide for picture quality (it has zoom, smart zoom, wide, 16:9 and 4:3) but as soon as there is some glitch in receiving data from the phone the TV begins to scroll through those settings to regain a signal and I can't force a setting on wide for the HDMI connector, only for one of the SCART connectors.
The frustrating part is that it works flawlessly when I connect an Asus Transformer. Could it be the MHL's USB connector? If that is the case how can I check it?

Just in case anyone relooks this up.
Connect everything. Then REBOOT PHONE/NOTE. The TV will then detect it auto.
Hope this helps someone !!
It didnt help me... my sony bravia 32" tv just wont show the gnote's video. the same adapter works fine on my samsung 32" tv but not on the sony. I have even upgarded the sony tv's firmware too. tried changing to "Wide Zoom" settings and other things but still no video showing, although the tv does know there is something plugged in to HDMI port 1.
Anyone else got ideas?

Split the micro USB for charging and USB OTG

Hello,
I want to do some stuff at the same time with my phone.
Watching a movie from an usb stick while charging the phone.
So, I've bought this HDMI converter
When you plug this into the phone you can plug in your charger or USB OTG adapter in the usb port on the HDMI converter.
But i can't find any splitter cable on the internet or ebay so i can charge my phone and connect my usb stick at the same time.
I wonder if this is even possible. It is possible to charge the phone when HDMI converter is connected and it is also possible to connect my USB stick to the HDMI converter.
Anyone ever tried this or has found a simple micro usb splitter cable or normal usb splitter cable?
You can't connect a normal USB Hub because i can't send power back to my phone through the hub.
Thanks :good:
Sorry I can't help with your splitter request.
However I'd be really interested in knowing if those two items work fine with the Note 2?

so the i know it isnt possible with the 5 pin mhl adapter (the old one thats not compatible with this phone)
I wonder if the 11pn version does allow this. I know the cables dont exist for what you are looking to do, there is a galaxy note smart dock 2 that seems to allow hdmi and 3 usb ports, if they allow it at the same time then it would be at least possible.
it must be. did you try the smart dock?

I've ordered one and i will see how it will perform. smart dock is nice but pricey i'd like one for home and work!
Bought this one http://goo.gl/6OiGx and as it is listed compatible with the NOte 2 and the Galaxy S3 i was hoping it would work with the Note 2 as well - nope: only power OR OTG, not both.

It does not work on the smt210r
I can't find anything saying the 8 does you are in luck it seems the devs are having better luck with the 8 over the 7 or 10 as the 8 has working recovery it will likely get a custom rom that enables it.
I think it's because T311 is SGS2 on steroid. They share the same exynos & mali400. Anyway, thanks for replying.

Tested, and this cable works great with the 8 & 10. DOESN'T WORK ON THE 7!
Will need the nexus media importer app if not rooted to read external drives.
Hope this helps!
I have the original OTG cable from Samsung when I had the GS3. It worked with the first gen Nexus 7, but not the FHD version. It works with my GS4, as well as the Tab 3 8.0 without needing root
Hey just realized this truth after buying a otb cable. Is there anyway to connect e.g. a hdd directly to my sgt tab 3 7.0?
Can you explain why the f... the otb cable is not working on the 7 inch version? Doesn't seem like a hardware limit.
Anyway just my newb view of point.
Hello,
I've the Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 - and I saw that there are solutions to get OTG with some tricks on other devices (f.e. Nexus 4/7). Are there any news for the Tab 3 7.0? Any custom rom or app that enables OTG?
Hope that you can help me! Thanks!

Connect via Bluetooth if it is really a Bluetooth mouse. A 2,4GHz Mouse isn't automatically a Bluetooth mouse.

No, the tablets do not supply enough power through the USB to power external hard drives. You may be able to get hard drives to work using a USB Y adapter and a power supply.

That hub works fine on my Tab 8.4 pro even without external power. With external power, it charges the tablet and powers a portable 2.5" HD.
On by friends Tab 3 7.0, it doesn't work. We tried every plug sequence, power combination. Same is true with HDMI adapter (MHL 2.0). A great HD tv pictures with the 8.4pro (even using just the tablet power). Nothng on the tab3 7.0. Sorry
Thk u Firedog91902 for your answer. hope that future rom resolve this
I tested my tab 3.8 with a variety of setups. It barely has enough power for most but not all thumb drives.
Sometimes a thumb drive will be recognized and mounted , but declared blank or damaged. Its not, but the Tab 3 doesn't have enough power and it doesn't function properly. Add power via y-cable and it works fine..
WIthout external power via a Y cable or powered hub, it cannot power any hard drive. WIth a power adapter it will work with external USB hard drives as long as they are formatted Fat32 and have only 1 partition. NTFS and ExFat for not recognized. There are apps out there that can mount NTFS if you are rooted. I tried a few and they work sometimes and crash sometimes. Since there is no native support for NTFS or ExFat, these app choose a variety of mount point configurations and do not play well with some apps.
using an otg cable on a galaxy tab 3 7.0
A PC store in Spokane wa told me that Samsung locked out otg support on the tab 3 7.0 and full USB support can be turned on in development options or if u have a rooted tab u can manually load the otg drivers through clockwork recovery mod if its in zip format then it should work. I have not tried this yet but as a expert believe it is possible to activate otg support. He said that Samsung do not want People using otg on the first tab 3 7.0 so they locked that function.

XPZ MHL not working

Hey all.
Just bought a 5-pin MHL cable after accidentally buying 2x 11-pin cables. Now the problem is the phone doesn't seem to recognize the MHL cable at all.
I plug the USB end into a 2.1A adapter (double the necessary), the HDMI cable into a Panasonic HDTV and the MicroUSB into my XPZ. Figuring it should work like that I turned the TV onto the correct channel and nothing happens.
Previously when I had the 11-pin cables the phone would at least switch in landscape mode and not come out (even thought the cable wasn't right). Now that I have the right cable it doesn't work at all.
I'm running the latest nightly build of Avatar ROM but as far as I know their isn't any problem with Avatar and MHL.
Any help would be great. Cheers.
