USB Host on PMID701i Not Working

[wdwray]

I have tried to use an external flash drive (4 different ones, in fact) with my Polaroid PMID701i 13. The tablet does not recognize it. I tried using two different otg adapters, but no joy. How do I make it work? BTW, it doesn't recognize my USB keyboard either.

sounds like to me that the cabling you're trying to use isn't working correctly... I know I have a cable that converts things correctly to let mine use keyboard, mouse, and flash drive. But I tried using just a regular USB cable that is mini-usb on the end and a coupler I have for usb male-to-male and that wouldn't work for anything.

using usb devices on the pmid701i

I have the pmid701i and just bought off of **** a USB A Female to Mini USB Male B 5 Pin Adapter Converter. This is the link: http://cgi.****.com/ws/****ISAPI.dll...m=170875019242 . t works unbelievably well. I have hooked up to it a usb 4 port hub, a usb keyboard(a Dell), and a usb mouse. The 4 port hub has a green little light that glows when working right, thats on. The keyboards num lock,caps lock and scroll lock all light up and all keys work great. The mouse has a light inside it that lights up when you use it,and thats glowing,so that's working.So I pretty much have a mini laptop on my hands.I work at a Big Lots and got this tablet for real cheap because the screen was cracked,but the touch screen still partially works and with the keyboard and mouse,it works great.I got the mouse,hub,and a stand for the tablet at a local Five Below store near me for $5 each and the keyboard used at a Savers near me for $3.So for about $50 I got a mini laptop that works great.If you have any questions feel free to ask me,I'll try to help the best I can.Later!

Is your hub powered, ie, does it have a power supply? Also, did you put the Google Play Store on your tablet? Thanks.
