Second "Samsung" OTG device just failed

[Lupus]

So I purchased a "cheap" OTG device from a Vodashop, play with it for about a day or two and than it just stops working, I return it, I got a slightly more expensive one, which I've had for two weeks, now I've only used it maybe three times since and now it won't see any USB device at all again. Going to take it back and see what they say, but yeah warning on the cheaper OTG cables.

Is your device rooted? Do you have a custom rom installed?

Nope fully stock standard.

What is OTG ?

I googled, its a....

wait for it....

On The Go cable.

So its a regular USB cable from my understanding.

But then OP said "device" so I am confused again.

But then he is warning us about cheap USB cables, which are fine actually.

So I a more confused. But then "Vodashop" cheap is super pricey.

Still confused.

Sounds about the right price for a cable.

I paid R30 for mine from China mall, feel ripped off.

Had it for a few months and it still works.

Well it's like a hub, 3 standard USB ports, a variety of mem card slots, cheap is 200, compared to Samsung official one being 400.

Eish, I thought this was a technology forum, but you guys seems a bit left behind. You really do not know what an OTG adapter/cable is?
