USB OTG: A cool function

Skino4united

[br] [br][br]Hi everyone, today I'll introduce a cool function to you called OTG (On the go)[br][br] [br][br]First: what is OTG?[br]It simply means "On the go"[br]It is an add-on feature that enables easy navigation on a mobile device. The OTG function is made possible by a phone attachment called the OTG cable/cord/dongle. All you need to do is attach the cord to your device then attach your external device to the cord. Now there are a couple of things you can do with the USB OTG and today, we would be highlighting them.[br][br]1. Charging another device:[br][br] [br][br]This is the function most people are familiar with. You have a device with a low battery, you must connect it to an OTG enabled device and instantly you have your battery charging. This function might look a bit primitive but can prove to be a life saver when you really need to extract an important info from a dead phone. I have used the USB OTG function severally on my former infinix Note 3 to charge other devices, connect my flash drive, mouse and game pad. I used the OTG function on my Infinix 6 for the first time yesterday to charge my infinix Zero 5 when I needed to access some info on it but was on low battery.[br][br]2. Connecting external mouse:[br][br] [br][br]This is one of the cool functions of thr OTG. Imagine you have a cracked screen or some part of your screen is not responding to touch. All you need to do is connect the OTG cord to your device and connect the USB mouse to the OTG cord and instantly you see a mouse pointer on the screen of your phone.[br][br]3. Connecting flash drive/external storage:[br][br] [br][br] [br][br] [br][br]This is also a life saving function in a situation where the information you want to retrieve is on external storage or a flash drive. The phone would be able to read, modify, add to or evendelete the contents of the external storage.[br][br]4. Connecting external keyboard:[br][br] [br][br]This is quite similar to the external mouse function. This is particularly useful when you have something voluminous to type and the phone screen is not just enough or some parts of the screen is not responsive.[br][br]5. Connecting external gamepad:[br][br] [br][br]This is particularly useful to gamers who love to play games on their mobile devices.[br][br]6. Connecting to printers:[br][br] [br][br]This is one very cool aspect of OTG that really appeals to those in the business world. The OTG function allows you to print directly from your mobile device by connecting the phone to a printer.[br][br]What other functions do you carry out with USB OTG?[br][br]Let's hear your views in the comments section below.[br][br]Edited with Credit to Carlcare
