Devgee and Terror Apple. Thanks for the reply. I have ordered the OTG cable. My HTC One S is still untouched and unrooted with ICS 4.0.3 and Kernel 3.0.8. Do you think the USB OTG Helper will work with my HTC ONE S? Do I have to flash a custom ROM or Kernel to make OTG work with OTG Helper?
Devgee, thanks again. I will see if OTG works with my phone after I have received the OTG cable. If it doesn't, I will root my phone and install a custom ROM and hopefully OTG will work. HTC ONE S is a good phone. However, I think no micro SD slot and internal battery are its major drawback.
There isn't a list of kernels that support USB OTG? None of the custom kernels for CM10 mention if they support it.

I read in the HTC One X's official jelly bean roms(leaks) it's present the full support for USB OTG and you won't need all those cables\adapter. Just the normal OTG adapter.
I think there is a real possibility that this will work with our phone too in the future with Jelly Bean

Now this kernel has full OTG support with power from usb.

Is this the only kernel that supports full OTG? Or does some rom like viperS have this function build in?
You can try it out in all jellybean roms including cm10, jellybam, pacman and viperone s(with zarboz latest kernel)
For cm10 and the other u need the app stickmount and this

Yes with the new OTA (jb) you onli need a normal OTG cable to connect any usb device (keyboard,mouse, usb key).
USB Flash Drive
My One S is Jelly Bean 4.1.1 (un-rooted)
The problem I have is basically this.
I have a Micro-B Usb Otg On The Go Cable and Integral MicroSD USB Card Reader with a 32gb Micro SD.
When I first put all this together and plugged into the USB slot of the phone everything was fine, the little red light on the Integral MicroSD USB Card Reader was lit up. The message of Unable To Charge Device was coming up but the phone was also mounting the storage for reading via Astro File Manager no problem, so I was able to play MP3's and 4's and so on. But then it literally just stopped reading the Micro SD card and the Micro USB Card Reader is not lighting up at all.
Any help will be greatly appreciated as I am at a lost as to why it would be working perfectly one second and then not another.
Thanks you.

It all depends on how much battery you have. If I remember correctly, less that 45 percent makes OTG not usable for me.
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app
Seriously? 45%? Thats worse than useless!
When I use OTG I normally use it until the device is about to die (<10%). Im not on stock JB though...
It shows me like this.Is it ok or some thing wrong ?

10USB host lets you hook up external USB devices to your phone, like a keyboard, mouse, USB drive, etc..
Unlike devices which are designed to support USB host, the One S doesn't provide power to the peripheral. That means we need a few more adapters/cables to get it to work (and we need an external power source).
Purchase links are listed for all the required cables/adapters.
You will need:
- USB Host adapter (The otherwise unused 5th pin on a micro-usb connector is grounded) dx.com/m-129671
- Mini USB power Y cable (this kind of cable is often packaged with portable hard drives) dx.com/u-65630
- Mini USB Female to USB A Female adapter This package comes with two, but you only need one. dx.com/u-55613
- Your charger
Assemble the cable:
- The micro USB of the "USB Host adapter" connects to your phone.
- Your peripheral plugs into the female end of the "Mini USB Female to USB A Female adapter"
- The "Mini USB power Y cable" has three connectors:
- Mini USB connector - connects to the "Mini USB Female to USB A Female adapter"
- Male USB A Power (the thinner wire) - connects to your charger
- Male USB A - connects to the "USB Host adapter"
Some fun peripherals to try:
- Powered USB hub (You can also power the adapter from one of the hub's ports)
- Keyboard
- Mouse (a cursor will appear on your device)
- USB flash drives and USB hard drives must be FAT32. You have to run a few commands to use a USB drive. Mount manually from the shell (use Connectbot or Terminal Emulator):
To unmount:Code:su mkdir /mnt/sdcard/usb mount -o uid=1000,gid=1015,fmask=0702,dmask=0702 /dev/block/sda1 /mnt/sdcard/usb
Code:su umount /mnt/sdcard/usb

devgee posted a video with a working USB OTG: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30791064&postcount=24 Which ROM is that? I've already tried ASTRO, it just said no data. If this all doesn't work, I'll buy a Y-cable and try a stick first, like in the video. Maybe it's just an issue with my HDDs...
And it would be really great if someone (maybe the OP?) could say, if you need a custom ROM or not.
Edit: OK, I've PM'd devgee and it seems like you need a custom ROM (ViperOneS works), a USB OTG cable and an Y-cable. No wonder it didn't work I'll have a closer look when I'm back from my vacation and then post here if it worked. Thanks to everyone who helped 1
A battery pack (like the TeckNet) should work as the power source.
For Keyboard/mouse, you do not need to modify the phone. (Only the cables and power are needed.)
For a card reader, you must "root" the phone, because to 'mount' the USB drive, you must run 'su'.1
