Hello everyone,
I have a question that I cannot find the answer to and I'm hoping that someone here can help. I have a Note 8 and I am using an OTG cable. I can access USB sticks with the OTG cable so that is all fine and well however when it comes to hosting the Note 8 doesn't seem like it works.
Quick background on what I'm doing:
I'm trying to update small circuit boards using the Note 8 and the OTG cable. We have an app that allows us to update the circuit boards using the OTG cable and an USB to micro USB cable. When I use the app the board times out, like there is no communication. We have used a Note 3 (non-rooted), Nexus 7, and other phones with success so I know it's the Note 8 that is the issue.

So the question...is there a way (without rooting) to make the Note 8 work as USB Host?

Thanks,
Bill
