SANOXY Micro USB Host Mode OTG Cable *Confirmed WORKING with Nexus 7* $0.64 + FS

Does this cable work with Samsung Galaxy S SGH-T959V?

Quote from weartolive : an off-topic here: what is the difference between an OTG cable and a normal microUSB-to-USB adaptor cable? I have the normal one, will it work?

OTG stands for on-the-go. New feature of the USB protocol that allows your phone to be a host. A phone typically is a slave device in the host-slave relationship. Host being a PC, and slave being devices like flashdrives, mouse, keyboard, etc.

For the phone to function as a host, you need a female USB Type-A connector, which this adaptor provides. The microUSB to USB cable works with your phone as a slave, ie connecting it to a computer for charging, data syncing, etc.

Quote from Danzilla : Does an 'OTG' adapter do something different than just a microUSB to USB adapter? (DOAH! yeah, what the guy above me said...! Fine, so I'll search for it all on my own... )

The wiring is different. OTG let you use KB/Mouse or other usb accessory with it. I actually have ZERO clue what the adapter is for. You can use it for charging/data cable but you would need a male to male usb cable.

I got this a week ago and it has done everything I asked it to. I plugged my Logitech k400 wireless keyboard into my nexus 7 and the keyboard and trackpad mouse worked great. I plugged my card reader into my GS3 and transferred pictures from a sd card to my phone.

I ordered and received one of these cables for my Nexus 7 tablet. Tried to use it with the StickMount application, but found I had to root my tablet before it could be used. While not a big issue for those technical minded, may be an issue for casual users. Once my tablet was rooted, StickMount and the cable work as advertised.

Unlocking and rooting the N7 is fairly easier and there is also a way to revert back to factory rom and lock it back.
I had mine rooted since day one and never looked back.

Yes, you need root to use Stickmount and also Paragon in order to read memory cards that have NTSF format.

still alive, but, 84 cents now.
This will make a good adapter for charging my hp touchpad i think.

Got mine yesterday and they work great.

Do the cables you guys got fit snugly in the N7? I got some from a different seller on amazon and the cables are so loose if I just move a bit stickmoutn looses the connection. Since the pictures all look the same, I have no way of knowing which one fits snugly which ones doesnt.

They're snug.

I just got one of these in the mail. It is poorly made and you need to hold the cables together tightly with your hand to get the connection to stay. Pretty much makes it unusable. I've come across others who have gotten these that don't work either. Bottom line, they may work often, but the crappy quality doesn't guarantee that they will work I would not buy one of these, price be damned
