Re: N810 and USB OTG Cable - my homemade solution.
 

My tendency would be to hook up an external USB device, make sure the data's flowing, and jab pads with a scope probe... You see data, or you don't... You know, I've got a scope (or two) at home; I'll give it a shot.

One other possibility in the sneak-cables-under-the-kickstand line is to replace the kickstand with a bulged model... Yeah, you get to make it yourself. Isn't modding fun? (I have access to a machine shop; if I had time, I could just go do it. Few are so blessed.)

Let us know what outcome you get Benson :) I'd be interested to know if the pads are USB related! Reckon you can machine a new battery cover? ;)

That's a lot more of a pain; the latch is annoying. And the qualifier "if I had time" goes double. I might, at some point, though.

I'll check the USB tonight; I'll post results in the morning, unless he still has a pulse.

Could you post a schematic of the hot glue adapter? Thanks in advance.

Here's the schematic, unless I am mistaken:

Wow, that was fast, thanks!

So you have to ground the ID pin?

Re: N810 and USB OTG Cable - my homemade solution.
 

Yes, that's what puts OTG into host mode, without software switching.

Thanks again.
