Help USB OTG Question

[Lana30]

Hi Everyone,
If you have been trying to get the mouse cursor to appear on your phone but nothing happens so far, would the answer be in getting a new mouse? If so, what should the new mouse have so you know it's going to work? I have been told that you need to use Bluetooth for this to work, is that why the cursor doesn't appear? Thanks in advance for your help. Greatly appreciated.

I've connected a USB mouse through an OTG cable and the cursor appeared, so it's not a Bluetooth only issue.

I would think any USB mouse will work as long as the phone supports OTG, so I'm not sure why it doesn't show for you.

I've tested it on my Nexus 6. It worked on both the wired and wireless.......... mice?

I'm not so sure the Galaxy S3 supports OTG. Try this app to check.
