Confirmed Working + Tutorial: USB OTG on Galaxy W

[parmadibudiprasetyo]

Galaxy W Users is having a major improvement! (as i feel), because Arco68 on his "[ROM][JB][JZO54K] CyanogenMod 10 ALPHA (Build 7)" Mod Thread finally enable USB OTG Support on our beloved phone, the Samsung Galaxy W
Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1990795

Basically, what does USB OTG do is to make our phone able to connect to external USB devices such as Flashdisk, Card Reader, Keyboard, Mouse, ETC. Myself has tried it with mouse, keyboard and card reader all in single usb HUB and it's works perfectly!
(to make USB Storage such as card reader or flashdisk to be recognized while connecting other devices such as mouse and keyboard, the card reader should be plugged after everything else. This way you can use keyboard and mouse, while working with your flashdisk/hdd/card reader all together)

Using external power source, as our phone doesn't supply power to the Micro USB Port

Mouse confirmed working

Usb Hub Setup

Card Reader Confirmed Working

Usb OTG Converter that i use

Simple usb hub mod for power injection

Very simple schematic

If you have spare time, the setup can even made portable by replacing the usb power adapter with
5V DC Regulator + some battery (9V battery will work i think, the regulator will convert 9V to 5V as required)

I believe a powered usb hub bought from any electronic store should work. They are quite easily available in Amazon or eBay.

Hmmm, if a usb card reader works, i think usb stick should work because they both works quite the same way? and if a mouse works, also i think keyboard should works too. maybe you can plug usb Hub, then plug both mouse and keyboard at the same time and si if it works

I can plug keyboard and mouse to my wonder with cm10 alpha7.
If you said how can I plug flash sticks, card readers and externals, read this:

I hooked an external powered usb hub and plugged usb stick. it works
2tb external drive works with paragon ntfs mounter after some config...
what I did:
-mounted the ext.drive
-opened es file explorer, created "directory_name" directory
-launched the paragon app
-dismounted and tapped "mount..." button
- tapped "choose mount point manually..." button
-selected /storage/directory_name
-tapped select button
-minimized the app with home button

You must make usb otg by yourself, just follow the tutorial above. :fingers-crossed:

If u buy from any types of usb otg nowm I think it doesn't support for galaxy wonder. But except if there is someone/factory has make it and sell it

Hi Batur, you can do otg yourself.
Aftermarket otg's will not work because there is no power on it.(our phone needs ext power for usb devices)
You must buy an usb hub and change it's usb cord to micro usb and hub must have to got an external power jack.
If you have questions about it, you can send private message to me.
You can write your p.m. in Turkish or English.
Sorry about my bad English.
If this reply solved your problem, you can use "thanks" button

Good job bro!

 

[dimaka1256]

got a usb otg cable today to experiment
i own a nice 7-port external power hub D-Link DUB-H7
tried to connect it to my phone, it even doesn't recognize it as a host)
another try was using an external hard drive with two usb cables - one to phone, other to power 'dumb' usb port
result - phone talks 'bout clear or damaged usb storage, possibly 'cause my drive has two partitions..
waiting for cheap chinese usb hub to mod it for power supply and continue research)

 

[awtsoon]

Anyone tested on joystick? would be great while playing Dead Trigger :laugh:

 

[dimaka1256]

got a cheap usb hub today, thinking to mod it for external power supply
your scheme is to connect +5v directly to 5v contact from phone (it's not giving power) and gnd to phone's gnd respectfully
won't it damage the phone? maybe use some kind of diodes?
and is phone being charged while such modded hub is connected?

 

[gtamark]

I've modded a usb hub to add external power supply....that's what I've done: I' ve put a second cable to power the hub and cut the VCC wire inside the other cable of the hub to avoid current return... to power it I use a 5V CC 1A power supply....I've tried this on my notebook and it works perfectly..but when I connect it on my galaxy w there is no device connected....but as you can see on the picture led light of my usb flash drive turns on, so it should work, but it isn't.....what is wrong??? any suggestions??? help please....I repeat: on my pc all works perfectly!!!!

 

[blulepotato]

So i have this usb hub, do I just take another usb cable and solder them in onto the board?
