[Q] OTG not working - Cable or Software Issue??

---

I'm very new to all of this and am not sure what I am doing wrong. I can't get my USB hosting to work. I have run USB Hosting Diagnostics and have included screen shots of what it says. If I'm reading it right, it is supported, but the Android API (Cyanogenmod 10.0?) isn't recognizing it. How do I fix this, is it a faulty cable or a software issue?

as you are using cyanogen mod, it does not include any app to automatically mount the usb otg device. So the best way to overcome this is to install an app like stick mount from the play store, which can automatically mount your usb device,. Also note that NTFS file system is not fully supported, so make sure that the device you are trying to connect has a fat32 file system...

I tried stick mount and it also didn't work. I would like to be able to use a thumb drive, but the main purpose is to connect my OBD 2 USB to the Torque Pro app. I've tried to connect a mouse, a thumb drive, and the OBD 2 adapter. I've tried using StickMount and USB OTG Helper. Nothing has worked. Any thoughts?

Hey there, sorry for the late reply,, I have installed AOKP JB MR3 on my device and all works well. I tried using mouse and a USB stick today, and it works well.

So first make sure that the OTG adapter is not faulty (try using it on some other device).
If the OTG adapter is okay, try changing your ROM. Some builds of CM ROM have bugs some time, especially if you are using a nightly release (Just backup everything and flash the latest official AOKP ROM. See if it works there).

Try changing the kernel if you are not in the mood (read feeling too lazy) to change ROMs. Your current kernel dev might not have implemented the USB Host module properly and this can also result in a non-functional OTG device.
