Joystick via OTG!

[viniciusnc]

Estou tentando conectar meu controle via OTG no meu Xperia ZL mas não está funcionando ):
É um controle comum para computador, preciso usar algo especial?

I'm trying to connect my gamepad via OTG on my Xperia ZL but is not working ):
It's a commom PC gamepad, i need to use something special?

Mind-numbing answer: OTG is NOT supported on the Xperia ZL!

Someone please read my question on that link and tell me what the difference is between OTG and USB Host? Perhaps that'd also explain why viniciusnc's controller doesn't work.

I personally tried hooking up an USB HUB and attaching an USB mouse, a Sixaxis PS3 controller through USB and an USB stick to it. All devices worked out of the box on my XperiaZL, simultaneously!

So in your case, I'm guessing it's a driver issue.

Are you on firmware .244?

USB OTG is the another name for USB Host. USB OTG uses the protocols and standards in the specs required by USB Host. Basically, they wanted a catchy name.

So I looked into the matter. My ZL on .244 does have USB Host support.

You can download the app to check your phone's USB Host. Chainfire, who is a dev here at XDA, made this app.

The gamepad that you are using might just be requiring special drivers that Android does not support.

People, did any of you read the thread I linked? If not, here's what causes my confusion:

Sony officially stated that Xperia phones do NOT support USB OTG, but they DO support USB Host.

So in the minds of Sony, they either have some weird things going on, or they have inside knowledge that most of us lack...
