For pendrive, I had to use it in USB 1.0 hub, 2.0 doesn't work :/

I bought: OTG cable, Y-cable (I used the one I had from my external Samsung HDD), external power supply (USB charger, some Samsung and Sony Ericsson mobile have it, but I recommend to use powerful one, at least 1A ) and for reading pendrives, you need old (I dont know if its possible to buy new) USB HUB v1.0. It has to be USB 1.0 (the old standard)...
Here is how you should connect everything
Also, it may not work on first time, like mine, but just try, it should work on second try

You can try this?

Quote:
Split Transfer: One of the five transfer types used by the USB specification. It is responsible for converting USB 1.x signals into USB 2.0 signals.


How to connect the things:

You will need:

The phone
An OTG-cable (make sure it's not NOKIA branded, as they have square connectors. You can use some sandpaper to smooth those edges though, so they'll fit inside a normal micro-USB base)
Either a powered USB hub (preferably that powers the upstream connection as well)
Or a simple USB hub, with a mini-USB connector and a Y-cable, and some USB power source (in this case the upstream powering works out of the box). You will need a decent usb power source though (5V/750mA at least)
Make sure the HUB support USB 2.0 and IS indeed an USB 2.0 high-speed hub. USB 1.x Full-speed hubs are very instable Even if it's an USB 2.0 hub it might not work. Either try to find another one, or connect the device directly to the phone (check the connection graphical guide below)
And, but not least, some things to connect to the phone.
this is bad not to give 2.0

Yes I tried that and as I said, it doesn't work for me.. Maybe I could try other USB 2.0 hub, but don't have another one right now

If you're looking for fast shipping here's the OTG cables I always use: http://www.amazon.com/Electronics-Mi...dp/B005GGBYJ4/. Get it in two days of your a prime member (3-5 if you're not).

Hope this helps!
