USB OTG (On the go)

---

Galaxy R supports USB OTG (On the go). You just need a OTG cable.

You can also use a Nokia Usb OTG (On The Go) Cable.
You can get the Nokia Usb OTG Cable for less then 2 euro on Ebay and Amazon.
The Samsung Usb OTG Cable costs much more.
The Nokia Usb OTG Cable just has one disadvantage, it has a "micro usb type A" connector.
The Samsung connector is "micro usb type B" .
But the difference between "micro usb type A" and "micro usb type B" is just that type A is not rounded, type B is rounded.
So you have to "round" the Nokia type A with a File tool http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_(tool), transforming it into a type B.
It works, I have done it.

I've done it too, next day after got my SGR. It works with mouse (just "laser", not "optical") and usb-flash (FAT, not NTFS). external keyboard works only with the English keyboard layout and other input languages ​​are not available

I've got Acer tablet with full-size USB and input language can be switched by Shift+space there. If this doesn't work for you, look for other software keyboard that supports hardware keyboards (sounds weird, but yes, SW keyboard needs to support HW keyboards).

SW keyboard needs to support HW keyboards

yep. It is like using usb-keyboard with WM device. I tried many free/kracked keyboards from Market - no results for now.

Great stuff! How about MHL (HDMI adapter) support? Does it support?

can i connect this USB PORT HUB with the OTG CABLE to my galaxy R.
m a bit confused on how would the USB PORT HUB get the required power?
would it draw it from the phones battery or i need an external supply?
thankss!!!
