USB OTG Support for XL

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.

    1. 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.

    1. I had used HCL me U1 charger which is Winna Switching Adapter
      Input 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

    1. ya 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.
