Device Has OTG support but camera not getting detected

[saki4510t]

Hi,

Whether Android devices can detect USB connected camera or not depends of hardware/system software(Android version) of Android device, cabling, camera etc.

As you said the camera works fine with other Android device, the issue will be 1) on the device(hardware/software), 2) on the cabling.

1. Could you try to use USB2.0 hub?
   As my experience, using USB2.0 hub sometimes solve issues.

2. Could you try to un-filter of logCat and check messages?
   Most Android devices will output messages tagged with EventHub or UsbDeviceManager or UsbHostManager like as follows when the device can successfully detect camera (this log came from my Nexus5 when I connect C930e and C920r over USB hub and I can also get similar log on Nexus6p, Nexus7, Nexus9, GALAXY S5 etc. );

   02-17 15:53:36.105 800-878/? D/EventHub: No input device configuration file found for device 'HD Pro Webcam C920'.

Hi Saki

I don't think there is a cabling issue. I have tried using usb hub2.0. I
have tried checking the log messages as well. I have tested it with some
usb diagnostic application there it was showing in the list view as usb hd
cam. Camera is not getting powered up basically.

I don't know whether its a hardware issue. But USB drive is getting
detected . Do you have any idea.? could you please guide me.?
