Root [Sprint] USB On The Go Working for Victory 4G LTE :)

[komputertua]

Hello people

I found that we could use our mouse or read/write to USB Flashdisk with our Victory 4G LTE
Tested on mine,i've tested on my 1 Gb old-Toshiba flashdisk & my cheap mouse.

You'll need Y-Cable USB OTG to enjoy this feature

**I hope there's an option to use it without external power**

Is that a Y USB cable? I already use that one

Yes

 

[komputertua]

Yes

So we must use any external power source egowerbank,USB Hub etc right?
I just wondering we could use it without any external power.

I believe the Y-adapter is so you may charge your phone while you are using the USB On The Go capability. It doesn't require external power.

There are also cables like this which shows that the functionality of USB On The Go is simply powered by the phone itself (its battery).

Of course, I would go with the Y-adapter

I've try it without external power but it don't work
I've try Y-Cable USB OTG & USB OTG Cable

Hmm.. weird. So the Y cable requires phone to be plugged in? Weird.

The cable I linked shows a direct connection from phone to USB with no place for external power. I wonder if that one would be what you need?
Still it'd be nice to have the option of using USB on the go while phone is charging or not charging or not near external power.
