Hello fellow xda developers: Do you know if it is a good idea to put on a boost regulator on the AVDD33OUT signal from the ANX7808
Slimport Tx block? If slimport passes USB host connections, then the boost regulator should be able to boost to 5V out and allow otg, no?
Please correct me if I went wrong somewhere. Thanks!

I have fought hard via BBB to get Google to do something about this since day one... I FINALLY have a solution...
I e-mailed them a copy of the original help documents that showed that using USB peripherals was possible.
He apologized and said the only thing they could do was take it back. This time WITHOUT a return fee for being opened.
It's been a good run you guys. But T-Mobile service is too limited around here to have only 8GB. And Straight Talk will kick you for watching videos. So alas I bid you all adieu as I take my leave to the Samsung threads where people know what salsa should taste like, I mean know how we want phones designed.

Its both. Software:
- CONFIG_USB_OTG is turned of in the kernel, and it seems to me you can't easily turn it on. (Looks like the slimport integration was hastily done. Some parts of the USB support have been updated to a more recent version, but code that's only used for OTG hasn't, and now it doesn't compile.)
- This commit removed some other neccessary parts for USB OTG support.
Hardware: The comment in the link above says that the device can't supply 5V, so there probably really is a hardware problem. However, it might work with a new kernel and a Y cable, or even without a Y cable but only for certain devices. Too early to say.
If USB OTG is important for you, I wouldn't buy right now. You can never know if it will work or not. (I've got the 16 GB for a couple of days and found that it's plenty of space for me.)
no MHL support. no OTG support. FOR WHAT ?! this is pretty serious over here. doesn't make actually sense because Galaxy Nexus has both. what to say..

We have slimport
..Feel free to shell 200-300$ more on a device that supports those, and have fun hoping you'll get updates!
Wires are SO 2012, dude!
Get a Qi charger, a Miracast adapter, a Bluetooth mice, keyboard, and game controllers .. and maybe some unlimited data connection!!! :laugh:
Ah well, I have given up hope. The non-removable battery isnt an issue to me. Lack of LTE is not an issue. All I really wanted was either a mSD slot, or usb OTG. Oh well, maybe the next nexus will deliver the OTG capabilities. With the price of the Nexus line, it isnt so hard to upgrade every year. when 2013's nexus comes out (if there is one) the n4 will probably still sell for 200+ on ebay.
Lets hope 4.2.2 fixes this issue. I love OTG and it makes it so much easier to dump my Tibu's on a flashdisk.
That will run you about $300-400 + a backpack full of batteries. Oh, and what about extra memory?

Got it sort of working, but you need a Y cable and have to switch it on manually. I'm still trying to figure out how to get it to work with regular usb mode at the same time.

13Answer from google
Just got off of a long call with customer support. I pressed the issue until I got a firm answer. I was told that usb otg will be fixed and that it is a software issue. The rep stated that that was definitive and that they had just acknowledged the issue in the last 24 hours.13It appears to be a firmware issue, and the device *should* support it, according to somebody inside Google (not an official statement).
If you want to get OTG support on the Nexus 4 fixed, please star the bugreport here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40087&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars7Hi all...just a few comments to make on all of this.
The USB host capabilities are part of the Qualcomm processor/chipset. The ones in the N4 support USB host mode.
Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064: https://developer.qualcomm.com/discover/chipsets-and-modems/snapdragon
The spec sheet lists USB OTG, but the way N4 is setup, it does not technically support OTG. I made a post not to long ago on a similar thread about USB OTG/host: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=33618150#post33618150 and I mention that in order to be considered USB OTG (per the USB Consortium), the connector used needs to be of the type AB (micro AB) and if I remember correctly, charging is not allowed through the connector. I reference the Nokia N810 and N900 as examples of this...N810 was an actual USB OTG device because it had USB micro AB port and had separate charging jack. In order for USB host mode to work on N810 you needed an A type micro USB cable/dongle. The A type cables have an extra pin tied to ground (or something like that) and when plugging into device, it would automatically know to be a host versus a slave. But, there was a way to use a type B cable/dongle (what N4 and most every other phone/tablet has) for host mode purposes...but there was a software command that had to be run first before doing so.
So, what I'm getting at is N4 is technically not an OTG device, but the hardware does support USB host capabilities and it might be possible to enable the capabilities in software (either through a command, most likely at root level, or worst case, a mod to the kernel and/or custom ROM).
Key word is "might"...don't hold me to anything, but I tend to be more of an optimist. Hope this helps.5Yes the Nexus 4 supports usb OTG (and you probably won't need a custom kernel for this)
Yes you can use ESFile explorer and run everything from your hard drive
I think latest TWRP offer OTG support but I'll probably never use it since you may "brick" your phone if the flash fail and not sure if otg is perfectly stable...
