OTG mouse not working

What am I doing wrong? New Nexus 7 32GB and I can't get anything to work. I haven't tried mounting a drive yet but both my unifying mouse (that works on my Note II and a USB mouse) do nothing on the Nexus 7.

Is there a trick to getting mouse/keyboards working over an OTG cable? Nothing happens when I plug them in.

I too tried to use a unifying keyboard/mouse combo (Logitech K400) with no luck. Try a regular USB mouse & keyboard instead.

I tried a regular USB corded mouse and it didn't work either.

Maybe it's you're OTG cable? I just tried a regular mouse & keyboard again and both worked just fine.

It could possibly be the OTG cable but there's plenty of people reporting it works fine in the reviews and it even specifies it's for the Nexus 7 plus it works great with my Note II.

-So I just tried an older Logitech mouse with a usb receiver (not unifying) and it worked fine but my unifying mouse and a corded USB mouse didn't work. I guess it's a bug in the drivers or something.

Works fine with the ps3 controller.. I'll try it with a hard drive to test it out and keep you guys posted

Could this method be used to get a corded XBOX 360 controller to work?

I'm using otg cable since i got the tablet, but I'm stock rooted, using an app called stick mount, requires root.

Question: Do you have to use a powered USB hub with Wired XBOX 360 controller? Rooted and installed Stickmount and still nothing. Also could be my OTG cable.

Will this method work with a external 500GB external Hdd (Intenso). I am still stock unrooted but would root and unlock bootloader if this deffo works with External HD. No seperate power cable for the intenso but it does have on of thos wierd cables 2 USB ends and a micro usb end

I have got a Micro to USB adapator and no joy. Nexus does not see it and neither does Astro (

My guess would be no, as its not likely wired for USB OTG. However, I'm unfamiliar with the product and it very well could be. The only way would be to try it. Id wager that you have a 20% of it working. Otherwise, get yourself a USB OTG cable and it will likely work.

Thanks. I have tried with different combo of cables/Adapators with no Joy. Looks like I will have to splash out for a OTG cable or maybe a Powered hub. The Intenso does not have a power in socket of any sort.

Can you explain how you got the flash drives to work? I can get a USB keyboard and mouse to work simultaneously with a hub, but although my flash drive will mount successfully through Stickmount the folder is showing as empty no matter what I put in it (I'm rooted too of course). You seem to have gotten this to work so I'm wondering specifically what you did.

Same here !
I have bought a toshiba 1tb 2.5" and i can mount the device with stickmount but i see an empty directory (using es explorer).
I have formatted in ntf, fat32 and exfat with same result.
Maybe i have to buy an Y cable ? I don't think so, because stickmount works.

Please help me !
Thank you

USB storage problem on Nexus 7 v2 root

hello,
i own a Nexus 7 v2 (2013), 32Go, Build: JSS15Q.
The tablet is root via Wug's nexus toolkit.
I rooted the tablet to be able to use my OTG cable for External USB storage.
The problem is i can't connect any usb external drive, hard drive or flash drive via my OTG cable
The OTG cable works fine on my galaxy S2.
i tried USB OTG Helper, Stickmount, OTG disk Explorer, no results
they can't see no drive to mount...
Any Tips??

thanks in advance.

I use USB OTG Helper on an unlocked, rooted nexus 7 v2 with stock firmware and it works, only with USB pen drive...

 

[TheGeek007]

Received my USB OTG cable that had previously been confirmed to work with the 2013 N7, but yet it didn't work with my flash drive. I've only tried stickmount so far. I'll have to test out some other things to verify, but I have yet to get anything to work yet. Will post results later.

I had issues with OTG and here is what end up doing:

- rooted of course
- installed ElementlX 1.4 kernel (just kernel, stock rom). This one has NTFS support baked in
- installed StickMount from Play Store

Initial attempts to mount using StickMount failed - but following this always works for me:
I power off the device, plug the cable and then reboot. When device starts with OTG attached StckMount always manages to mount/unmount it no problem.

Hope it helps,
Cheers,
Irek

ps. now trying to get CIFS to work in this configuration....

Unless I'm mistaken I think the current(old) Nexus 7 supports OTG, you just have to buy an OTG cable for it from Amazon or somewhere similar, something similar to this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Micro-Cable...F8&qid=1374828603&sr=8-1&keywords=nexus+7+otg

So going by this I would assume to new one would also, seems pretty standard on devices these days.

I use otg Disk explorer from play store.. No need to root and work like charm..
