I was making my own OTG cable and, after I finished connecting two cables together, I decided to test if it actually works, before soldering the jumper wire between the 4th and 5th pins. I tried it a few times and it worked. My mouse and usb stick were detected. Then, the launcher crashed. I waited for it to start up and tried again. This time everything worked without the jumper wire. Tried both the stick and the mouse and both worked for a while, after which I had to use the jumper cable again.
Did anyone else encounter this before? I was able to fully use both devices without the jumper cable for a while. Could it be possible to do a software hack and avoid having to solder the two pins?
I haven't been able to reproduce the thing again, but I'm gonna try again when I get home from work.
I'm running stock rooted 4.2.1.
