USB OTG Support for XL
![]() |
Xperia L |
I was successfully able to test USB On the Go support for Xperia L.
=> Actually Xperia L has inbuilt support for USB OTG but doesn't provide enough power to run it so here's the Guide
=> Disclaimer : I am not responsible to the damage you may do to your device. Its your device your responsibility :P
• Compatible accessories :
• Thumb Drives
• USB Keyboards
• USB Mouse
• Incompatible :
• HDD's
• Materials/Accessories Needed :
• USB OTG Cable.
• Xperia L off course
• USB HUB
• Power Source in this case HCL ME U1 Charger.
• Full Root for running root application : USB OTG Helper
=> Lets Get Started :
• Root your Xperia L (Full Root)
• Download the application stated above.
• Connect your USB hub to power source like the image shown below.
• Connect it to USB OTG cable to your Phone
• Plug in USB Thumb drive
• Now Run USB OTG Helper App then press mount.
=> Whoooaaa USB OTG is now working.
Also see this post on XDA and also see my latest article on Rooting Sony Xperia M.
and one thing more without a usb hub the otg will not work cuz xperia l doesn't hav enough power to provide to a usb drive
ReplyDeletejust to be clear
ya it wont work but if you have a USB OTG with power it might work but i suggest you use a USB HUB because you will get 4 USB slots and it would be also compatible with PC too.
Deletek I found the hub the model iBall Piano 423 (4 Port USB Hub) but what kind of adapter is capable with this can u tell with full details like voltag n all
ReplyDeleteI had used HCL me U1 charger which is Winna Switching Adapter
DeleteInput 100-240 V
0.3A - 50/60 Hz
Output - 5V=2A
=> You can take your USB HUB to any local shop (Mobile shop) and show them the pin slot they will surely give you a charger from a local brand also cross check the above details. Beware dont buy products with too high voltage/Ampere's

ReplyDeleteCan I replace the Xperia L's 1750mah battery by 2300mah or 3400mah batteries? If yes where can one purchase
Delete@Sanjay may be yes but its too risky to get more mah battery and also it would make phone heavy too.

ReplyDeleteActualy I was using high voltage charger that was the fault n why isn't hdd is capable? I haven't tried but wana know the reason
yup high voltage = damage chances and unresponsive or over responsive screen/hardware be sure you use a low voltage ones :D
Delete-TechNOHOL
HDD have high Voltage consumption and are hence not compatible i tried to use a HDD but my phone got freezed due to it i recommend not to use HDD's.
DeleteK thnx man n why doesn't gamepad work with xperia l
ReplyDeleteGamepads are not supported natively by any devices specially the USB ones. I have heard that Our device does support PS3 Controller but i haven't tried it
Deletecan i connect the pendrive directly to xperia l using the usb hub if i change the format of the pendrive from fat32 file system to ntfs file system?
ReplyDeleteit should support i cant guarantee it as i used fat32 formatted pen-drives you can try and report me back :D but before formatting be sure to backup your data of pen-drive :D
Deletetnks, i haven't bought the cell yet.., once i gt it, ill try connecting it. :) and also can u get me the link to full rooting guide of Xperia l??
ReplyDeleteyeah here it is : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2307983 :D
DeleteBro could you please try it from a dc source like a battery rather than ac source because if it is a battery ,I can take to any place
ReplyDeleteya you can just buy a USB otg Cable with y cable and buy one Power bank which has outlet as USB and then just plug in the y cable to powerbank and follow same procedure as above instead of ac now you are using powerbank ;) i haven't tested this method but it should work theoretically.
