Hello, I have a Galaxy S2, I just bought my USB OTG/Host cable. The funny thing is I can only connect mouse and I can use it. But when I use other USB devices like flash drives, I only get the light signal. I am unable to read or write to the flash drive. Any help?

Maybe it needs external power supply? SGS2 is not really designed to power all devices from it's usb port.. but:

I've got working flash drives with fat32, keyboards and mice with Omega ICS + Syiah kernel.

Also, if you want to get NTFS flash drives working, download NTFS mounter from market.

My USB drives work well. I believe you need an app to mount the drives. Just search"otg mount" in GPlay. I'm using Chainfire's mounter personally.
I'm using the latest Siyah kernel with CM9(worked on Slim, Paranoid and Root Box too).

For some reason I just can't connect my mouse(wired) to my phone.

I bought another USB OTG/Host hub. Picture:

Now it works for flash drives, pen drives. Things like webcam, mouse, keyboard doesn't work any more. I am able to connect 4 flash drives at once as it has 4 ports. How? I heard from people that the 4.0.3 kernel doesn't support it. I doesn't want to root my device yet.
My Galaxy S2 info:
Baseband version: I9100DXLPA
Kernel: 3.0.15-I9100DXLPB-CL709089
dpi@DELL 151 #3

Much help is appreciated. :)

I had the same problem with my Galaxy SII (stock ROM & kernel).
However, after the recent update from version 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 everything is working fine!

The only thing I have problems with now is my USB hub.

Interestingly enough, the keys of the USB keyboard I tried were correctly mapped to the german layout (QWERTZ). This was not the case in Android 2.3.

Even USB MIDI interfaces work now!
