I bought one of [these] (https://www.amazon.com/Micro-Cable-Samsung-Player-OTHERS/dp/B00CXAC1ZW/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1483206964\u0026amp;sr=8-6\u0026amp;keywords=otg+charger+cable) otg cables so I can use an Xbox 360 adapter and charge at the same time. Console mode is really useful because it turns off the tablet screen and just displays on the TV. I use Netflix, Youtube, Google Music and they all work well, along with games. \r\n\r\nUnfortunately, Amazon Prime video is not directly supported on Android devices and will only display in SD, not HD :/","subreddit_name":"theNvidiaShield","author":"Heidi423"},{"body":"The one I have is the one first mentioned/linked to in that old AFTV News article from spring - it was listed, according to my Amazon order history, as DSYG Micro USB Host cable, though when I click on it, it shows up as “1397895 Micro USB Host OTG cable ...” by seller CWD (up from $3 to $5.80, not Prime shipping eligible) - with a “View newer model” message under the pic, which links to a $6.50 cable, once again labeled as DSYG.\r\n\r\nI think they’re the same, and this was probably just relabeled to raise the price once again. Here’s the link to the one I got: 1397895 Micro USB Host OTG Cable with Micro USB Power for Samsung S7 S7 Edge, S6 S6+ S6 Edge, S5, S4 \u0026amp; Nexus 10 9 7 4 Player + ALL OTHERS https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CXAC1ZW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_JfbbEb4BC1XVD\r\n\r\nAnd the first time I plugged mine in, it didn’t show up immediately in all apps until I opened up ES Explorer and it scanned for external/SD drives, so you might want to try that (after first restarting your FTV).\r\n\r\nI have mine on a Fire Stick 4K (though I almost never use the cable, because torrents stall for the first 5 minutes when downloading to my USB flash drive, but not when downloading to the Fire device directly... could be a local issue that only I have, though, and I guess it’s useful if you need a place to save game progress or if you download things onto the Fire and want to then transfer them over to the USB drive).","subreddit_name":"fireTV","author":"fietfeit"},{"body":"Also, the OTG cables all seem to be pretty cheap. The first brand I bought didn’t work. This brand did. But I purchased over a year ago. Maybe they changed. If you can’t get it to work, I’d probably buy another OTG cable from the same brand and then maybe 1 or 2 others from another brand. Just return the ones that don’t work or you don’t need.\r\n\r\nFor what it’s worth, I found the single packs to be more reliable than the 2 packs. \r\n\r\nDSYJ Micro USB Host OTG Cable with Micro USB Power for Nexus 4 Nexus 7 Galaxy S Iii \u0026amp; Galaxy Nexus https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CXAC1ZW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_1Q5iFbSD9J6Q3","subreddit_name":"fireTV","author":"jjforfun00"},{"body":"On The Go.\r\n\r\nBasically, with an OTG cable that also does power, you can plug the USB drive into the rear port instead of the 2nd controller port. This has three benefits. First you can hide the flash drive in the rear of the PSC. Second you can still have a second player without needing a powered USB hub. Third the rear port doesn't limit power to the USB drive so just about any drive (including external drives and SSD's in an enclosure) will just work. You definitely want to do this very simple mod and buy an OTG cable that also does power.\r\n\r\nHere's the one I use daily: https://www.amazon.com/DSYJ-Micro-Samsung-Player-OTHERS/dp/B00CXAC1ZW","subreddit_name":"PlaystationClassic","author":"dudemo"},{"body":"You need to buy an OTG cable that has both male and female micro USB ports like this: https://www.amazon.com/Micro-Cable-Samsung-Player-OTHERS/dp/B00CXAC1ZW/\r\n\r\nI have this one and it works great playing files off my USB stick connected to a USB hub. Keep in mind this only works for the 2nd gen Fire TV Stick.\r\n\r\n","subreddit_name":"firetvstick","author":"Jonerdan"},{"body":"Fire TV already has an ethernet port. I was referring OTG cable that has both male and female micro USB ports like this: https://www.amazon.com/Micro-Cable-Samsung-Player-OTHERS/dp/B00CXAC1ZW/\r\ncombined with a USB 2.0 to ethernet adapter to allow Fire Stick to have ethernet. Only works with 2nd gen Fire Sticks though.","subreddit_name":"fireTV","author":"Jonerdan"},{"body":"Get a usb otg cable https://www.amazon.com/Micro-Cable-Samsung-Player-OTHERS/dp/B00CXAC1ZW and a usb mouse and you can use a mouse on the phone. I know because my s7e  came with an otg cable and your device should still support a mouse pointer. You can then login with a mouse and transfer the files to a new phone or pc.","subreddit_name":"samsung","author":"flame_wizard"},{"body":"I have [this](https://www.amazon.com/Micro-Cable-Samsung-Player-OTHERS/dp/B00CXAC1ZW/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1478756064\u0026amp;sr=8-8\u0026amp;keywords=otg+cable) one that kind of works. It's an OTG cable that has both a USB and micro USB for charging. If you get one, make sure to plug everything into the cable before the tablet, otherwise it won't recognize charging. I don't think they are made for charging tablets though; it is a very low input rate (around 100mA) so it just barely keeps up with charging.","subreddit_name":"theNvidiaShield","author":"Heidi423"},{"body":"How? I tried this with my OTG cable and it didn't work, even for just a flash drive. As far as I know my next step is to buy a powered OTG thing like [this](https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00CXAC1ZW). But this clearly isn't that. Is it a specific model of cable? Is it a certain version of the v10? Give me the details please.","subreddit_name":"lgv10","author":"Super_Dork_42"},{"body":"Not necessarily a MicroSD adapter, but this is a OTG cable with power passthrough:\r\n\r\nhttp://www.amazon.com/Micro-Cable-Player-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B00CXAC1ZW\r\n\r\nEDIT:  Never mind, looks like it can't power while in host mode.  The USB power is for powering the USB device itself.  Seems that powering while in host mode is an issue at the driver level of the OS?  The USB only has 4 pins for power and data, so while in host mode, power flows to the USB device from the phone.  It can't go both ways.  Either in to charge the battery, or out to power the device.  This cable saves your phone battery, essentially.","subreddit_name":"Nexus5","author":"fuelvolts"},{"body":"You could try a [powered OTG](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CXAC1ZW?psc=1\u0026amp;redirect=true\u0026amp;ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage) cable like this.  \r\n\r\nI'm not saying it will for sure work, but you can plug a power microUSB into it, and it doesn't pass through to the device, but powers the OTG device.  So, theoretically, it should provice external power to your OTG external HD.","subreddit_name":"GalaxyTab","author":"NoFaQ"},{"body":"You can get a splitter cable that provides a USB A-female with a USB micro-B female.  I used one with my old phones that didn't have a powered USB port to drive a thumb drive.  Give me a minute to find it again.\r\n\r\nEdit: Example cable on [Amazon](http://www.amazon.com/Micro-Cable-Player-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B00CXAC1ZW)\r\n","subreddit_name":"SteamController","author":"dragonjujo"},{"body":"Hello, \r\nFirstly as it is Verizon device so it cannot be bootloader unlocked.\r\nSecondly the XDA thread you linked,as you have the correct firmware version as stated there, only factory reset your device and carefully follow the steps mentioned there. If it too tough for you, leave it, as you may risk completely bricking the device.\r\nThird, OTG+Charge cable(its called OTG Y-cable)here- http://www.amazon.com/Micro-Cable-Player-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B00CXAC1ZW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1437928325\u0026amp;sr=8-1\u0026amp;keywords=otg+y+cable (sorry am not American so cant provide you the cheapest one,but you should get the idea.) \r\nFourth thing, I don't know much about PS3 controller linking but I think you require root..\r\nLastly,backup all your media to a PC. Use any app available from play store to back up your logs,calendars,contacts,smses to sdcard and then subsequently copy it to PC. (Generally contacts and calendars are synced with your Google account,but backup just in case) \r\n","subreddit_name":"motorola","author":"Carbhai"},{"body":"I was under the impression that an OTG Y-cable (like [this](http://www.amazon.com/Micro-Cable-Player-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B00CXAC1ZW) ) would let one plug USB devices into the fire stick. I can't seem to find any information about whether or not this would actually work, other than a few posts saying that there IS power AND data wired to the usb port on the fire stick.","subreddit_name":"fireTV","author":"nakedrickjames"}]}
