Re: 7 Uses Of OTG Cables On Android And Tablets by gwng: 11:59am On Mar 08, 2017
mokoshalb:
I made these post as a result of the inability of those who uses high-end phones that that comes with an OTG cable which has so many uses that you don't know before but will know today.

What is OTG:
OTG is short term for "On The Go." USB OTG is a standard that enables devices to communicate or interact freely with each another. USB OTG Cable is an essential tool to creates a link between your mobile phone and other computer peripherals such as USB flash drive, Mouse, Keyboard, Digital Camera, GamePad, Card Reader, External Hard Disk Drive and so much more!.

Below is a list of some 7 most important things which you can do with USB OTG Cable on your Android Devices:

1. Share Battery Charge Between Two Android Devices:
For sharing the battery charge, all you need is a regular data/charger cable that you use to connect your smartphone to your PC and a standard USB OTG Host cable.
When you have everything ready, connect the USB data cable to one of the phones. Connect the USB OTG host cable to the other phone. And finally attach the two cables together. You will notice that the phone with smaller charge level has started to charge. The charging will continue until the batteries of both the phones have almost the same level of charge. After that make sure you disconnect it.

2. Super-Fast Files Transfer Between Two Device:
When it comes to Android files transfer, lots will choose the commonly used way, Bluetooth, FlashShare, Any Send, USB cable and so on. USB OTG, empowers USB devices like Android phones to act as a host and then allows another USB device to be attached to them.
[img]https://1.bp..com/-X1lxZ-CT8j0/VhwoRl_Gf5I/AAAAAAAAARM/CfkR6RRlOoY/s1600/android-to-otg.jpg[/img]

3. Connecting Modem with Android Devices:
People who have WiFi only tablets or without 3G support might find the need to use 3G Modem with their device to get something downloaded quickly when the broadband is too slow or down. This can be done using an Android app called PPP Widget. As the name suggests, it is a widget, not an app. It is available in the Play Store for free.
[img]https://2.bp..com/-KjYfwnfoDYw/VhwonYYnZ9I/AAAAAAAAARU/LaAbwlN9Naw/s1600/Connection-of-3G-modem-with-Android.jpg[/img]

4. Using an External GamePad:
Yeah!!! I mean it, you can do it very easy. Because playing games on a touchscreen is not the same as holding a real Gamepad or a portable console like PSP. Many game developers have finally realized that in order for their games to be successful, they have to support Android. To really win Android users over, they should also accommodate us hardcore gamers who have OTG cables with the ability to hook up controllers to our devices.
[img]https://1.bp..com/-1KRLdapDC_o/VhwpCUlgm6I/AAAAAAAAARc/OffVTx89-JI/s1600/OTG-USB-for-Game_pad.jpg[/img]

5. Connect USB Flash Drive to Your Android Device:
Flash drives spent a good amount of time as the number one way to take your files with you wherever you needed to go. As some of that has changed with Android devices and cloud storage, many of us still have those USB flash drives kicking around looking for a good use. USB Flash drive is not meant for your computer alone, you can use it with your Android device as long as you have your OTG cable with you.
[img]https://2.bp..com/-Pjyy891JeoU/VhwpX0zIcmI/AAAAAAAAARk/wTT5TRPqj4Y/s1600/connect-otg-to-android.png[/img]

6. Connection of a Mouse to Your Android Device:
When a USB mouse is connected to your Android Device using a USB OTG cable, a mouse pointer appears on the screen. Click to select and open items on the screen. The following applies when using a USB mouse on your Android Device:
The touch screen continues to function when a mouse is connected.
Right-clicking performs the same action as left-clicking.

To change the mouse pointer speed, go to the Settings menu, touch Language & input, and then touch Pointer speed. Move the slider left or right to achieve your desired pointer speed.

When a USB keyboard is connected to your Android Device using a USB OTG cable, touch inside a text input area to begin using the keyboard.The following applies when using a USB keyboard on your Android Device:
The on-screen keyboard is hidden when a physical keyboard is connected.
Some of the key combinations that perform actions on Windows computers also work on a tablet, in most apps. For example, you can Cut (Ctrl + X), Copy (Ctrl + C), and Paste (Ctrl + V) using your keyboard.
To find settings options for the physical keyboard, go to the Settings menu, touch Language & input, and look in the Physical keyboard section.

3. Connecting Modem with Android Devices:
People who have WiFi only tablets or without 3G support might find the need to use 3G Modem with their device to get something downloaded quickly when the broadband is too slow or down. This can be done using an Android app called PPP Widget. As the name suggests, it is a widget, not an app. It is available in the Play Store for free.

4. Using an External GamePad:
Yeah!!! I mean it, you can do it very easy. Because playing games on a touchscreen is not the same as holding a real Gamepad or a portable console like PSP. Many game developers have finally realized that in order for their games to be successful, they have to support Android. To really win Android users over, they should also accommodate us hardcore gamers who have OTG cables with the ability to hook up controllers to our devices.

5. Connect USB Flash Drive to Your Android Device:
Flash drives spent a good amount of time as the number one way to take your files with you wherever you needed to go. As some of that has changed with Android devices and cloud storage, many of us still have those USB flash drives kicking around looking for a good use. USB Flash drive is not meant for your computer alone, you can use it with your Android device as long as you have your OTG cable with you.

Print? Cord? In this day and age? Why limit yourself to cords when you can stay in the living room and print wirelessly from the bedroom?
