Did you try using PC hardware on your Galaxy Nexus?

Hi,

I was just about to buy "USB A 2.0 female to Micro USB B male Connector Adapter". I'm wondering what kind of things can I plug into my phone using this adapter and how will it behave.

Did any of you try using a mouse on the Galaxy Nexus? What's that like? What about an external monitor. Is that even possible?

Thanks.

I've tried and it doesn't work with a simple micro-male to a-female adapter. It's possible you need the micro-id pin grounded through a resistor, or something else.

Great answer Paul!

Can this be done with the Nexus S too?

What cable do we need to make it work, anything labelled 'OTG USB adapter' that looks like the one in Paul's pic?

Awesome thanks for the reply. So mouse definitely works.. would be interesting to know whether keyboard could work...

Can anyone tell me if and how this phone can be plugged to an HDMI monitor?
