IdeaPad A1 USB OTG/Host Support

Hey everyone,
Has anyone found a way to get USB Host (USB OTG) to work on a tablet that is not supported? I have a Lenovo IdeaPad A1 which was upgraded from Android 2.0.3 to ICS (4.0.4) which is also rooted. I was under the impression that all Android devices had the support for USB OTG as I bought a $70 tablet off of eBay and it did. I found out the hard way today that not all support it. I really hope someone has some insight to this as I just bought this Lenovo and am kind of disappointed to find it doesn't have something a $70 tablet does.
Thanks in advance,
Ben

I think this is a matter of building it into the Adroid/linux kernel and not all companys build it in for some reason. I have built plenty of kernels and its not that big of a deal especially for a high tech company. They must not have the time or can not pay the engineer.
Anyway, since you are rooted and the source is available you can actually do this yourself if you have the time and skills.

    This is regarding usage of USB OTG cable for Nokia 701 mobile. When I connect 2GB USB pen drive to the mobile using this cable, the File Manager is able to detect all the files in pen drive and I'm able to open the files easily. If 8GB USB pen drive is connected, the File Manager is not opening the files and it displaying "Opening Files..." even after 15 minutes. Will there be any memory limit for USB pen drive for using. Any body please through some light on this issue. Thank you.

    No, it is not available for 305. For devices which support USB OTG differentiates themselves from non USB OTG devices
    by having their micro USB port in rectangular shape.
    Hope this helps.

  • USB OTG function doesn't work on Z30STA100-6/10.3.1.2243

    Like the title says, USB OTG doesn't work on my Z30 STA100-6 running the latest official OS 10.3.1.2243. It worked before on 10.2.1.3062. I did tried basic troubleshooting procedures like turning the device OFF then ON, reformat my flash drives to FAT, FAT32, and exFAT and even installed OS 10.3.1.1949, 10.3.1.2072 and 10.3.1.2677 for confirmation, all of which it still didn't work. In short, I haven't got the chance to make this work on any 10.3.1. Another thing: Upon further checking, I noticed that the USB column on the Networks and Connections settings displays "Connected" just by simply inserting the OTG cable into the micro USB port on the Z30 running 10.3.1, that is, no flash drive inserted on the other end. I even confirmed this by going to the engineering screens and confirmed that the device, upon inserting just the OTG cable, detects it and displays it as "OTG dongle". Any help would be appreciated as I really want to get to the bottom of this.

    Hi
    According to the Microsoft page the "Error code 10" appears If the device has a FailReasonString value in its hardware key, that string appears as the error message. The driver or enumerator puts this registry string value there. If there is no FailReasonString in the hardware key, you receive the following error message:
    This device cannot start. (Code 10)
    Recommended resolution
    Device failed to start. Click Update Driver to update the drivers for this device. On the General Properties tab of the device, click Troubleshoot to start the Troubleshooting Wizard.
    Ps: This is only a Microsoft tip but if the USB device cannot work because of the low power supply you should check if it work with the external USB hub wich supports a external power supply

  • Sat. A300 - USB ICH8 Family USB Universal Host Controller is not working

    Device: Intel(R) ICH8 Family USB Universal Host Controller - 2830 till 2836 and 283A
    Driverversion is: 8.0.0.1008

    Can anybody help me? Where do I find the actual driver?
    Thanks in advance.
    Chris

    The Intel Chipset driver handles USB drivers. You can download it from the Toshiba Support/Drivers Website.
    But if you installed a strange USB Device recently (perhaps a USB keyboard/mouse/HDD), its driver may be conflicting. So you would need to remove that driver from Control Panel -> Program Features first, then reinstall the Intel Chipset Driver.

    This component is supported by Microsoft inbox INF USBPORT.INF on Windows7, there should be no need for "drivers" for this [very old generation ICH5] component?
    Only old OS like WinXP etc would need to have non-inbox INF installed e.g. 82801EB USB Universal Host Controller - 24D2

    Please give some info or link & cost hint to buy it .

    Hi everyone! I'm new here and I searched to find some info about USB OTG cable related to nokia 701 and did not find any. I have a question/problem. I bought a USB OTG cable and it worked with my 701. But It was telling me it is using a lot of power and after a few minutes(1-2) it tells me device is not supported and to disconnect device. After that I tried 3 different usb sticks and all are not supported. I let it go for 2 weeks and tried again and the same story: first is seeing the usb sticks, then not supported. What is the problem? I do not understand. Any ideea? Thanks

  • Micro usb OTG connector.

    Hi
    I now want to connect my new HP G2 8" tablet to some external devices (usb-drives etc.) via a micro USB OTG connector. I have already wasted some money buying one on ebay (uk) which fails to work. FYI "USB OTG Checker" identifies the device as capable of supporting OTG as advertised so the tablet is good in this regard.
    Does anyone one know of a reputable UK vendor where I can buy one?
    Thanks in advance
    Frustated Chap

    Thanks for the reply.  I would prefer to buy one that is already on this side of the Atlantic rather than have it transported to the UK specifically for me. 
    Anyone know of a good UK vendor of a micro usb PTG connector?
