Purchased this to connect a USB keyboard and mouse to my Xoom. The adapter arrived with the USB A side metal bent inward, so any USB plug is a very tight fit. This could easily be corrected with a pair of pliers, but I prefer the connection tight instead of too loose.
If you're buying this for use with a Xoom, be aware that you do need the Android 3.1 update in order to use USB keyboards and mice. USB Micro B (M) to USB A (F) Adapter - Converts USB Micro B Devices to Full Size USB A!
I read the customer review which stated that the adapter was used with a Nokia N810 to read flash drives. This implies that it is a host adapter, so since I did not see others listed as OTG host adapters I took a chance on it. When I got it and tried it on my Archos A70 it was not able to read flash drives. I decided to disassemble the adapter and when I did, I could tell that pin 4 of the micro USB connector was not connected to ground so it is not a host adapter. I will rewire it and test it out but I am sure it will work.
Please note that the vendor never stated that it was a OTG Host Adapter. So to be fair it works perfectly as advertised. I suspect that the previous reviewer simply got an adapter which was manufactured by a different vendor and was an OTG Host Adapter.
I bought this to use with my Nokia N810. It allows me to read flash drives from the Micro USB port on the Nokia with available software. I don't have a USB to ethernet adaptor so I have not tried that.
I don't understand how others claim this worked with their Motorola Xoom.
I tried to connect my Canon 5D Mark I, compact flash card reader, and Xbox 360 remote via USB charging cable.. None were recognized.
I do not think this is an OTG adapter - and it is not advertised as such.
Works as advertised by the seller, but I'd be wary of the Xoom reviews.
I purchased this product hoping to power laptop speakers from a cell phone. The adapter fit well, but I was unable to power the speakers with the phone power through the adapter. The seller I purchased from did not offer any feedback contact information to troubleshoot or determine if this was even a possible application. The product may work great for other applications, but it did not let me power usb speakers.'
