[AC Question]

Hi! I recently bought a micro usb-to-usb OTG adaptor, and it doesn't work. I really want to use it. I have a Huawei p9 lite, and I really don't want to root it. Can you help me?

I hardly know anything about rooting android devices but I might be able to help. It depends what your trying to use an otg cable for. I have one and have previously used it for a wireless USB mouse and to connect an Xbox controller to my tablet. If you edit the text I might be able to help, thanks 😉

Plug it in and see what devices it works with... USB memory, keyboard mice, card readers etc..

As I posted in another thread, nobody publishes "Supports USB-OTG" in their spec sheets, and contrary to what the USB Organization web site says, not every phone offers this feature. To find out what you might not want to know, first determine whether your phone supports it.

Go to the Google Play store, search for "OTG Checker" and install your choice of the apps you'll find there. I've used one called OTG? (with the question mark). It will tell you immediately if your phone supports USB-OTG or not. If it doesn't, then you're out of luck. I don't think this is something that rooting will fix.
