have you tried to otg two samsung notes together? i mean to transfer files over the otg cable and such? or a samsung note with an S2?

[NZtechfreak]

@73hectorprada Interesting question, I haven't tried that (and no longer have a second Note, so cannot try it now). If I have an opportunity to do this I will let you know.

can you tell me what bluetooth controller and connection (apps? root? settings?) you did?

I thought you cannot connect 3rd party controllers (unless you have ICS)

but you obviously showed I am wrong. If I can use 3rd party cheap controller I am OTG now!

@dsan45 I used a Phonejoy in this one, you need the free Bluez IME app to use it. You can also use a PS3 controller via bluetooth with the app Sixaxis Controller (Root required, in the Market). It's really nice because it will let you map onscreen controls to controller buttons (theoretically making it possible to use the PS3 Controller with most games).

@mitchell600 Links seem to be down I'm afraid. Only suggestion would be to try XDA, there are various kernels there and some may have better optimised USB OTG.

@NZtechfreak Android 2.3.6 and Konig flexible keyboard. And usb hub mouse.

@mitchell600 Which keyboard and mouse do you have? Which firmware are you on?

[mitchell600]

Since today i have an OTG cable, a usb mouse and usb keyboard. My Note detects the mouse and keyboard, but no cursor is popping up or keyboard working. Do you know how i can fix this issue? Thanks in advance

@guitarplayerone Thanks for your feedback! That is stock Gingerbread there, but using LauncherPro+ for the Launcher with some WP7 theming (now using ADW Launcher, much easier theming!). I have no idea about texting completely hands-free to be honest, never tried - might be possible with the bundled VLingo software... Will check when I can.
