OTG support on Moto Z Play - Moto Z Play Accessories

There is support for OTG to Moto Z Play? I found some OTG adapter for USB-C, but I'm not sure if there is compatibility.
Thanks in advance.

I bought a Lexar USB Flash drive and it does work

I tried a couple of type C adapters, and both work.

I got ahold of an Apple USB-C cable and it worked on my Z Force, so I'd say it's a pretty good bet for the Play as well.

Anker USB-C to USB-A
I have bought the OTG-USB from Anker (USB-C to USB 3.0).
Works perfect. Testet 4GB USB 2.0 and 32GB, 64GB and 128GB Lexar USB 3.0 Sticks with "exFAT".
All working fantastic.
Ciao RZ

Thanks for the post. Reminded me to dig out my adapter and try it with my USB thumbdrive. With my battery pack, this thing would last forever on a airplane

I use sandisk Otg usb drive works perfect!!!!

the speed are really slow . I am using a usb-c to usb and the speed are only 2MB/s while I get 150MB/s witht eh same USB stick on my pc ,

The nonda USB-C to USB 3.0 Mini Adapter does not seem to work - I have contacted their support and am waiting to see what thy say.
Tried it with a two USB drives and a USB DAC. All of them are recognized that they are connected but the drives says they are corrupt and the USB DAC outputs garbage noise.

It used to work with Meenova micro usb card reader and a c-type adapter, as with c-type card reader, I also could connect and read/write hdd (ntsc and exfat) BUT.....
ALL OF A SUDDEN IT STOPS EVEN RECOGNIZING ANY USB TYPE DRIVES/CARDS
The readers led don't even light up.....
HEEEEEELLLLPPPPP!!!!

Few file browsers work. FX Commander and Solid do but differently, I use both.
I cannot find a music player that does. Please post yours that does play through OTG.
I have a dash 1 phone.
This is my adapter https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0194WSKOM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hey, I am wondering if anyone else has tried connecting a ps4 controller over OTG. For me it just doesn't work. I don't know if it's just my method of plugging it in (USB C to Micro B to USB A to PS4 controller)

Did you try the integrated music player of Total Commander? It should do. Currently do not have my OTG handy, if it's complicated for you I can try somewhen the next days.

Total C and it's plugin have to create a dup of the file you want to send to a player. Pretty nonfunctional for quarter to 1 GB music file. File Commander just links the file, instant player transfer.
Well, Poweramp is claiming to support any phone for native DAC abilities. They have a request forum. I posted a thread in Q & A. The latest version will browse our OTG but only uses our DAC to 44k. Ours is capable of 192k. USB audio does use our DAC fully but no OTG and no plans to do so.
If you tolerate 44k get Poweramp.

I don't have a USB-C OTG cable, but if you press and hold both the share + ps buttons while the controller is in standby it turns on BT.
Then on your phone go to the bluetooth menu and connect and it works wireless. Why use OTG when you can use wireless

Send to a player? What are you talking about? I meant the integrated player of TC, not sending to a player. Just tested it out: long select a file, press play, and it instantly plays. I'm quite sure there is no limit. Select some music, add it to the TC player queue, I'm quite sure it will work.

Using TC while browsing OTG:
When I select a flac file(bitrate 192k) and ask TC to open as audio, it makes a copy in internal memory. I would then play it with https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/themes/music-players-one-standout-dac-to-192k-t3533577 .
I did not try it's internal player as it would use the DAC of our phone at 44k bitrate, standard CD quality.
My concern is music played from OTG. I did not try it but I think it would need to duplicate the file even when playing from it's internal player

Did not know that other behavior is possible. For me playing at a higher rate than CD will make no difference, my ears are not that good.

Don't think so. It should just play. Of course it will use some buffer for playing, but you shouldn't notice that.
My recommendation was "try TC with internal player". That requirement with more than 44 kHz came later. You wrote "TC does not work, but I didn't try the internal player." Guess I'm out of here now. Good luck!

I know I can use wireless, but most of the time I've tried it, it's been laggy AF, that's why I would like to use OTG

[Q] So what can I do with USB support?

Forgive me if a stupid question but the new rage going on is the new USB support for our NCs, what exactly can I do with that functionality now? Examples would be nice. Is it just simple stuff like keyboards, etc?
All of this is unconfirmed, but what I've seen mentioned includes webcams and game controllers in addition to keyboards/mice.
mass storage devices will work as well if you have an external power source
Another stupid question from my side:
How WILL this USB connectivity work? Meaning we connect any USB enabled device to the micro-USB port of the nook from which the charger connects?
That would be cool since that would enable USB keyboards to work with the nook..

And many USB thumb drives work without any external power at all. Not all of them, but an older 2GB of mine works perfectly (especially with the vold file modified so that mass storage devices auto mount)

Would you mind sharing your vold line? Does it work regardless of the sdx partition actually mounted? (In other word, is it wildcarded for any type of flash, or just for your particular drive)

all of my micro usb cards work with a reader.
perhaps they need lesser power to run
So basically, I can plug up a webcam and video chat with a market app? Or am I being too wishful?

Is there a Keyboard/Mouse that will work with the Nook that anyone is using today? Of course, I don't understand how a mouse would work because there is no pointer/cursor in Android is there?
I'd love to be able to have a mouse/keyboard and not have to lug my laptop around on business trips but just use the Nook instead. May be wishful thinking I suppose.

Depends on the mouse. If the mouse can run on 100mA, it will work with no hub (personally tested with a Logitech wireless).
Just wondering if anyone knows whether they've gotten the usb headphones with mic to work. I've been following that usb thread in development pretty closely (although I can't post there; not enough general posts, so I guess I'll have to start spamming), and it appears as though they are close, but I haven't seen a post definitely stating that it works. Seems as though they were getting some noise through the mic, but the rate was off. Too fast or too slow or something. Maybe someone knows?
Which Female to Female adapter to get?
I found some Female to Female adapters on Amazon, but they had mixed reviews. If you are using one successfully , I would appreciate more information about where to get it.

Same here. I bought one from ebay for $1.98 but what they sent did not match the description or picture so I killed the charge with AmEx.
As for webcam support, not working as far as I have been able to test. I can get the nook to recognize the cam but the apps do not see it. Have tried yahoo msgr,tango, ooVoo,fring, ect...
As for uses, mouse,keyboard,sd card reader,direct connection to DSLR's for photo transfer, flash drives.
As for flash drives, I have about 20 here from various mfr and only 1 will worrk without a powered hub but using a powered hub, everything works.

Anyway to play music thru usb port on car radio?

I'm wondering if it's possible to play music on a car radio (or any usb input) thru the usb port on the note 4?
Any app, mod, hack, tweak to mount a certain folder (music) as a thumb drive?
I have several usb input audio devices, but I can't access anything when I attach the note.
I feel you, I tried to do the same with no success ended up buying a 3.5mm headphone jack to rca for my car stereo ?
Yeah that sucks

So you're trying to MOUNT a USB DRIVE filled with music and play it to your car stereo? You using a 3.5mm cable or Bluetooth here?
I have some USB OTG cables (really cheap, ebay) and play the music from my SD card using PowerAmp (FLAC Playback, also allows folder choosing; your USB drive?) through the OTG cable, to my Fiio E07k, then to my headphones/speakers. Works FLAWLESSLY, and if I plug anything to the headphone jack simultaneously, it will re-route the audio.
Hope this helps.
I want to use a usb cable from my phone into my car radio usb port and play the music that is in my phone thru the car radio using the usb cable and not the 3.5mm head phone jack.
i believe this is a feature in lollipop to enable audio through usb. gonna have to wait
"Android 5.0 has added official support for USB audio devices (both input and output) along with lower-latency audio input and the ability to mix up to eight audio channels. All of which means one, amazing, thing: "
I want my phone to act like a usb thumb drive when I connect it to my car radio thru the usb port.

I can't remember, I set it up a long time ago. It's a 64gb uhs1 card. I remember I had to format it with a pc app to get it to be recognized in my (then) Galaxy S3, and I simply moved it in to my note 4.

OK, with that being said, what stereo you using? Display style or single din?
Is it linix based or android?
Brand and model number?
I've got a pioneer single din in the wife's car (can't remember the #) and I've got a Kenwood dnx5120 double din, which has a usb port that will read a usb thumb drive or a hdd (or iPod / iPhone) but will not "see" my phone when connected usb.
I figure if it can read a usb thumb drive or even a hdd, why can't the note 4 mount itself as a thumb drive (external sd card) and allow my radio to read it's content and play it's mp3's?
Ever found a way?
Im in the same situation.
Ive tried the apps that enable usb mass storage mode on my sgh-1337m galaxy s4 and while it works and my computer recognizes my sd card as an usb drive, my car stereo still does not.
Any other way or USM enabler that works?

Sent from my Samsung Note 6
I just bought a Kenwood KDC x701 and I had a very unusual set of circumstances. When I plug in my HTC 10 to either USB cable one or two nothing happens other than charging the phone. The Kenwood radio does not recognize the HTC 10 at all. I thought this was completely normal as I was not trying to mount the HTC 10 internal storage to play music files as I have no music files on my phone except audio recordings I make myself a phone calls and such. I am able to stream music via Bluetooth from the phone to the radio just fine and that's what I've been doing this entire time. The only thing I listen to is tidal music streaming service. So the other day I went to plug in my lgv10 to charge while I was driving and a funny thing happened. The radio display indicated it was reading and then went into a hand mode, it is literally called hand mode LOL. The next thing that happened was a message popped up on my phone asking me if I wanted to download a Kenwood app from the Play Store I hit cancel. Then all of the sudden it started playing music from the Tidal music streaming app. Although no information was displayed on the radio I was able to use the buttons to skip forward and Skip ahead of the different tracks but I am not sure I am able to pause or play music on the radio controls. I am not sure how it is possible to stream digital audio through the USB cable directly into the radio. I have no audio files stored on my phone on either phone and I'm not even sure how to mount internal or external storage on the phone if I wanted to use the head unit to access any audio files. So I called Kenwood and they said what I described is not possible with any of their head units. They did say that I should be able to mount my internal or external storage on my phone and use the Kenwood app two act as a music player and play the files on the phone and have them information sent to the radio. What it sounds to me like is I have a USB OTG situation with the LG V10 and no one knows why. Also of note I am unable to stream music from the lgv10 to the Kenwood stereo and no one knows why Kenwood does not know why. All of the track information is displayed on the radio I can control the songs going backwards and forwards the timer countdown xcetera but there's just no music. I will say streaming music from Tidal music service streaming app sounds much much better through the USB cable versus Bluetooth. I can't believe how much better it sounds over the USB cable it's like adding an amplifier to your system. I will try to make some videos and if this helps anyone that's going to be awesome. Also of note when I select source to USB when I have my lgv10 plugged in it calls the source Android1. This totally sounds to me like USB OTG. What do you all think and has anything like this happened to anyone else? And this does not work with my HTC 10.
I don't believe that this is possible any longer. It was possible under older versions of android (pre kit kat i believe) where the "internal sd" was seen as a physically separate storage device instead of being mounted under /data/media. Once they made this change, they had to swap from USB Mass Storage mode to the annoying Media Transfer Protocol. The reason Mass Storage had to be dropped is because of how it functioned. When you allowed access to your "internal sd" it would have to dismount it from the OS to give the host device plugged into the USB port exclusive access to the file system. Since they made the move to mounting it as /data/media there is no way to give that exclusive access any longer. Trying to dismount that /data/media to give that exclusive control would yank away all of the writable media away from the OS. Android would likely crash, or at least nothing would function any longer.

As stated, the R1 does not support OTG. You can try a powered OTG hub, but your not going to get enough power from the USB port alone on the R1.
Hi Kal250,

I can't verify that this will work, there was only one user who reported success using an adapter, though I can no longer find the post, anyhow you can give this a try, you will have to supply power with a charger cable, but I make no guarantee as to if it will work. BLUs official statement is no support for OTG. I'm not responsible if you damage your device(s)!!

I'll try it this weekend.
Holy crap, can confirm.
I first tried using this powered hub, as well as a powered usb otg cord (similar to this one), it read my generic usb stick, as well as a 500gb HD (well, sorta, it saw it but can't read ext4).. Then I tried just the otg cord, powered, and it worked. As long as it was getting external power, it seemed to work just fine.
Bare in mind, it "NEEDS" the powered OTG cord, running it without having a micro usb hooked up to power in and it didn't work at all, at least for me. Though you can run the hub without power, don't know why this is, but it was how it was acting.
Non drive testing:
It also sorta saw my Logitech F310. In that it pops up that it is disconnecting, but never shows up while connected (with gba.emu). A 360 controller did nothing.
Mouse and Keyboard worked just fine.
USB Audio seemed to not work, at least with my crappy Griffin iMic (think it is an apple device, I got it at goodwil). I also tried a Logitech usb speaker (not sure what model). No audio came though, thought the buttons worked (play/stop/volume/skip). All this with "Disable USB audio routing" not on (as well as on, just in case i was misreading it).
I also have a Pinnacle Systems AV to USB2 (old school rca video cables to usb) adapter I "could" check, however I know of no android app that can take that in. I do know it works with linux by default, ala V4L2, but android is a mystery. It does light up, but other then that no idea, looking through dmesg was a bust for me at least. Eh, nitch item anyways, doubt much here would use it.
Can't think of anything else to test at the moment, but I hope this helps you guys out a bit.
Tried the powered OTG cable and was able to mount a USB flash drive. I did not have to root my R1 HD to get this to work. The mounted drive did not show in ES Explorer or in Solid Explorer. But I can go to Settings -> Storage & USB and click on the mounted drive. That puts me in the system file explorer and I can copy files. (Do choose "Show SD Card" in the menu. Otherwise there are not many places to copy to.)
---------- Post added at 11:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 PM ----------
Following up: of course you have supply power to the microUSB port of the powered OTG cable. I tried supplying power from an AC adapter and from an external battery both worked.
Another note: to copy files from the USB flash drive to internal SD or external SD, click on the USB Drive (in Settings->Storage & USB) first, select some files. Then, navigate to the place where you want the copy. If you want to copy to the USB drive, then click on the internal or external SD card (in Settings->Storage & USB) and do the same thing.
I got OTG to work with a powered OTG cable but I couldn't get UVC to work

I bought a Blu R1 specifically to use in a pair of Gear-like VR goggles, as an FPV headset for quadcopter flight. I was hoping to wire (solder) a wireless receiver to a USB UVC stick, run Go FPV (split-screen Cardboard-like vid player), and power all with a 10k mAh power bank battery.
I'm hoping the UVC not working is just a case of a missing driver. Can you (moshiach101) load a webcam app from PlayStore and see if that installs drivers?

OK. I tried it with a USB wall-mount charger, USB-C micro in a brand new power OTG cable, with a Logitech V-U0007 webcam which was shown to work on a PC.
No dice. I conclude the Blu R1 HD does not support UVC via the USB port.
(and the phone is completely useless to me as I have a good phone and Sprint plan for the family already...)
Is there a way to add the UVC driver to the phone?
Is it part of the ROM, kernel?

It should be added by adding an app which needs it.
The UVC setup works with my HTC One M7. Not with the Blu, so I think this is a HW/FW limitation.

No dice (I just tried). Pretty sure it's an MTK processor, which doesn't do OTG, and probably why it's cheap enough to sell at this pricepoint.

Use a powered hub I have tried and it works for most devices (keyboards, mice, and USB drives), but for other devices such as an arduino, which is what I needed, use USB Host Diagnostics to install a patch.

P10 connecting to usb dac

Hello. Has anyone had any luck connecting a USB dac to the Huawei P10?
I saw mention of the FiiO K1 connecting without issues in a Pocketnow review. If my memory serves me correctly.
You having issues?
Not working for me either on a P10+. USB OTG doesn't work either. There might be a setting in the menus somewhere that I haven't found, however.
I have my P10 working with both OTG and LG/B&O Hifi Dac.
There is settings for Usb connection in the developer settings menu. I didn't have any luck with my Ibasso D-zero
Mine is just plug and play, no settings needed, only OTG, when you insert the OTG, a USB logo on top shows up, and you just select files transfer, for file transfer or play direct through OTG with media files.

The setting in the developer menu was set to PTP on my phone, I changed it to MTP and now when I plug my DAC in I can get it to play okay. It sometimes needs me to mess about with the USB icon in the notifications but at least it works now. I'll need to find my USB OTG cable and verify if that has also been resolved.
I just tested with my old Bedringer UCA 222. And that seems to work. So I guess Huawei and Ibasso don't work together.

I have a P10 Lite and a Fiio DAC. It does not work for me with most of the apps. However using Neutron Player I can override the OS USB setting and that plays music fine. However its pretty useless as an option when trying to stream from Spotifu or Soundcloud

Thanks for the reply. I have tried setting MTP in dev options with no change. The Hua player does not work for me using the DAC. So far my only joy is with Neutron player, however I am trying to use Soundcloud and Spotify. My otg cable is good as far as I can tell. As I have used it successfully with my Sony Z2
Can CellphoneUSB DAC be used in Spotify? I thougth not... Huawei player is not for USB, You must have Neutron or Onkyo or Poweramp, Sony music player is free and also has USB dac option....
Little help for anyone
Got cables today, cannot post it here, but you can find it on aliexpress:
LEORY Type-C USB 3.1 To USB 3.0 OTG Adapter Type C Data Cable Connector For Macbook For Letv Max For Xiaomi 4C USB C Cable
USB-C to USB-C Cable,0.5m USB Type-C to Type C Cable for ChromeBook Pixel for for MacBook for Lumia 950/950 XL for Nokia N1
Old cables refused to work through adapters. These work properly. USB flash drives are connected. I checked both with external usb-dac. The first one with Fiio x3. The second cable - to connect the dac from LG G5 (Hi-fi plus). Everything is fine Works without dancing with a tambourine.
Resurrecting a dead thread but for anyone still wondering - I took a chance and the Fiio Q1 works with my P10 Plus with a Samsung OTG adapter without changing anything. Using Google Play Music - plug it in and audio output swaps over as soon as I power up the Q1.
I got a usb super speed OTG cable.. I'm very happy with the P10 Spotify Extreme blutooth and flacs and High-res jack...
I have thought about buying a Fiio k1 Dac, just to try it, but don't know if I need it...
Happy with sq and volume and everything, use Poweramp and Sony music centre Jack and LDac other than Spotify..

Sadly, I can't say... Don't have that phone anymore - traded it for a Z2 Play (came with the projector, speaker, battery pack, and camera mods!), traded that for a V30.
It *should* work though, I believe it rerouted all audio output automatically.
Thanks anyway, currently investigating whether it would be good to go on a separate dac/amp + smartphone setup or just a phone with good dac builtin like V30,
For those that are still interested, p20 supports neutron hi-res player settings upto 24bit/192khz. And using razer usb-c DAC dongle works without problems.

Dex and 2TB HDD?

I have just started using the DeX as my daily driver. However the problem that I'm facing is when connecting my NTFS 2TB Portable HDD.
My DeX setup is connecting to 24" monitor using this UGREEN dongle, I use a wired Logitech Keyboard and MX Anywhere Mouse.
I have installed this app to help with NTFS. And when I connect the HDD directly to the phone via the OTG dongle it works fine, take time to show in the app but it does. But when I connect it to the UGREEN dongle, the app opens up and notifies me and asks for permission, the minute I click on allow, my monitor will go black and the HDD will make a clicking sound. I have to disconnect the HDD and the dongle, reconnect the dongle to make DeX work again.
I thought maybe my third party dongle didn't have enough juice to support the 2TB HDD so I went to my local Samsung store and tried on their DeX Station, same thing only difference was that the screen did not go black but the HDD made the clicking noise. The sales rep at the Samsung store told me that DeX only supports 512GB because their phone supports max of 512gb SD card.
What am I doing wrong? Or is 2TB just too much?

lol that dosent make sense to me.
what does is probably the power draw from the usb ports might be too much. let me test with different adapters i have that provide power to the HDD.
also the file system might be the issue even if you have the correct libs. try formating to extfat.
heres the proof that the phone can do at least 2tb.
i used a 3.5 regular hdd and sata to usb 3 powered adapter plugged into a usb c multireader adapter that was also powered externally.
i bought and installed paragon software because my 1tb drive appeared right away but not my 2tb. first was gpt extfat and the other gpt ntfs .
i have the latest dex station with me also and can test but i expect it to work since it did on a crappy usb c multi reader.
and here is the proof than an official dex station can also read it.
i have 8 tb and 16tb drives but im lazy. so 2 tb will have to do.

Yes but all those are powered HDDs. For me a powered 3tb and 5tb works perfectly well.
The issue is with the 2tb. Like I said when I connect it to my phone via the OTG adapter it works fine but not with the dongle.
I thought it was an issue with my dongle since it's not powered. So I headed to the Samsung store and tried on their Dex Station but it didn't work. Which is strange because the Dex Station is powered.

I have a 500gb portable HDD as well which also didn't work. I formatted it to exFAT. What are the chances that the same drive will work on exFAT?
Wouldn't it still require the same amount of power?

so then my original comment still rings true.
maybe you can find a Y cable that has 2 x usb male plugs to draw more power. you can try plugging a phone charger to one of them.

Portable, just plug to phone via samsung OTG connector
