Looks like otg android is back and app download new app 4.2.16 587 Monday 21st May.

Work (installs) but you need to download the file to your phone, or you will get a parsing error, I also see that Offline Maps are back!

Can people put which devices there trying and if otg is back working again. I've tried Samsung galaxy s8 Android version Oreo and Samsung galaxy s7 6.0 and both are back working with OTG

Got the apk will upload it in a minute

Hi guys, what process do you follow to connect via OTG? I use the adapter that came with the S8, and then a normal micro USB and all that happens is that my RC starts charging from my phone. Even when I change the settings on the notification panel of the S8 it reverts back to charging the RC

Okay, let me see? That black connector is a Samsung one which came with the phone (it's so you can plug a usb straight into your phone)
It does not fit the remote, neither does the wire end fit in my phone so I can't swop them around?

Yeah that's the end that goes into the s8 connection you need micro usb to usb.

I have that? It all connects to my RC but defaults to charging my RC from my phone instead of sending info across. I wonder if it's because my latest app has now changed to 4.2.8 which does not say OTG support anymore.

There are two adapters that came with your S8. The USB-C adapter that came with the phone (the type of connection that the phone has) is so you can convert older USB charging cables or car chargers to connect to your S8. The other is straight USB to USB-C.

The controller has a micro USB-A port on it, which is also commonly referred to as OTG. It is a square version of the micro USB-B that most everyone is familiar with on Android devices. The micro USB-B end of a cable will work with the controller port. Depending on what the other end of the cable you are using is, you would either use the standard USB to USB-C adapter, or the micro USB to USB-C adapter that came with the S8.

Until I saw the photos, I forgot that the S8 came with both adapters as I only use the micro USB to USB-C one on my older charging cables. That's also the adapter I use on my OTG cable since it is micro USB on both ends.

You use that micro usb stick that into your rc and then use your charging wire .

Sorry I've seen that wrong they won't work. Look at the connectors on my photos.

So like that? There must be a connection as it charges my control via my phone when connected
