[QUOTE="Texas Gonzo, post: 19846, member: 3142"] First and foremost, it must be enabled on your phone or tablet for the OTG link. By default, its not available until you enable [Developer Options], as that opens up a lot of settings most users have no business messing with. Once [Developer Options] are enabled, go in there and tick the box enabling [USB Debugging], along with another option just below that called [MTP], to turn on the Media Transfer Protocol. Without those two settings enabled, your phone's USB port is basically only good for charging. If you connect an OTG cable and the phone starts to charge from the remote battery, then USB Debugging or MTP is not active. To enable [Developer Options], go into phone settings > About and find the [Build Number] line. Rapidly tap that line until you see a popup stating "You are now a developer". Go back to settings, and just above [About], you'll now see [Developer Options] available. It takes 7 *rapid* taps to make this happen. During the process, you'll see a popup stating "you are now (X) steps away from being a developer". Just keep tapping until it enables for you. Be careful with what you mess with in there btw. You only need enable Debugging and MTP for the OTG cable to function. Again, without those two settings ticked off, the OTG cable won't work no matter what else you try. Feel free to PM me if you have any issues with getting the OTG link functional. It makes a world of difference in FPV quality for me, as a hard wired connection is typically always more stable than wireless. If for no other reason, its one less signal to worry about flaking out due to interference. Too bad it doesn't work on the Phantoms :-( [/QUOTE]
