its a cool feature that allows a usb-phone connectivity. in simple we may plug and use pendrive, ext hdd with our phone, and access the files in those drives.....

Short answer.. Yes

Lapdock and hd hubs have usb ports already configured.

You can also make your own adapter by purchasing a usb otg cable and modifying a generic usb hub. The otg protocol needs to have 5v returned from the hub to the phone.

There are a couple of forum posts related to that. :)

that's of course possible :p; atrix is a great gadget and capable of many things :eek:.
here we go:

1. first get a USB OTG adaptor cable.
2. make your 5v electric-powered USB hub ready.
3. make your USB cable ready (usually USB hub is good for mini USB cable; therefore, you need to obtain also micro to mini USB adaptor too.)

everything is ready now.

4. connect USB hub to power.
5. connect your USB cable to USB hub.
6. connect your USB OTG to your atrix.

you are all set-up.

here we continue...

connect your keyborad, mouse, usb flash, etc. to the USB hub. Voilaaaaaa :):):) mouse cursor and the keyboard as well as the usb flash are all visible on Atrix.

Have fun and enjoy it...

In case you wish, search for youtube for "Atrix OTG support"; you will come across many vidoes that verify what I just briefed above..

on top of all, get a neptop.apk and connect to the HD TV via HDMI cable and taste the ultimate pleasure of WEBTOP :)

Yeppppp, u r right about the clicks.

I am not sure at the moment nor can I verify where I see the USB as I am not at my home desk now, but if I am not mistaken it presents itself or you may find it under "files". Should you have not stock "files" app, then refer to "usbdisk..." folders under "mnt".
My regards,

WOW!

I just got it working in a Custom Blur-based Rom ([ROM][GB] NOTTACHTRIX 4G (v1.9.0) Updated Mar 11 2013).

I used a Power charger connected to a Innobo (average quality) USB hub. Then I connected a mouse and a USB memory to the hub plus the Atrix (via OTG cable).

The phone recognized the USB memory without any problem and the mouse works really fine.

I have´n´t tried a keyboard yet, but I guess It will work as well.

Regards. :good:
