Guest oldscot Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 They can add me to the list of people who won't be updating unless or until otg is restored. That the hudl supported otg was a major factor in my choice. To the extent that I would not have bought it had it not had otg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jamaj Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) I should have read all of this before doing the update. I am going travelling for 6 months and the Hudl 2 was going to be the only computing device I took with me. After the upgrade mine doesn't have any OTG functionallity. Without the OTG function though it becomes a lot less useful for what I wanted to use it for (syncing my GPS, and quickly connecting my camera and memory cards). Fingers crossed they do roll something out but I will look at other options in the mean time Edited October 24, 2015 by jamaj updated text Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TehJumpingJawa Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 HTF8A4 here too, bought Nov 3 2014, in purple :)Can't be absolutely sure otg worked under KitKat, though I probably did test it at some point when I was trying to get various otg Ethernet adapters to work with my Chromecast.Definitely doesn't work now I've updated to lollipop though!Tested with a mouse, keyboard, and USB memory stick. All work fine on my KitKat gpad 8.3 using the same otg cable.The hudl2 is delivering USB power, but that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jeff simcox Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Dear all I have just today had the corporate response from Tesco. Otg functionalitynever intended. Blah As a lawyer. I have relied to them stating that I upgraded to a hudl 2 from a hudle 1. And upgraded to Lollypop from kitkat at their request. As Otg functionality existed on the hudle 1 and hudl 2 kitkat their is an impliied warranty that it would also exist on the hudl2 lollypop version whethet they explicitly stated it or not. Tesco are now in breach of that implied warranty I would request the support of all hudl 2 users in contacting tesco support through their ask question web form and use the exact words above asking them how they plan to rectify their breach.

Guest Jeff simcox Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Here is my question to Tesco support I would suggest you all do the same I am aware of the forum responses that you are treating the problem of lollypop upgraded hudl 2 s lack of OTG and USB external device capability with a a common was never intended to be a function. This is a legal problem for you. I upgraded form a Hudl 1 (had functionality wither expressly offered or not) and from KItkat (had functionality whether expressly offered or not) at your request. The OTG and other functionality can be interpreted as an implied warranty that purchasers of the tablet relied upon, and that Tesco are now in breach of that implied warranty. I request that you advise me of Tesco's proposed timescale to rectify this breach of warranty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest David441 Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 I have been pursuing this for some time. I received a reply last week from the "Customer Service Executive to the Board" saying the same thing, "The Hudl2 was never designed to have the USB OTG functionality..." The reply also adds, "there are no plans to release any further Hudl updates". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ChrisKt Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 So why is there a menu entry for "USB Storage" under Settings-Storage? Chris K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mindmagic Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 About a month ago my Hudl 2 died. It was still under guarantee so it went back to Tesco for repair. As I feared, they did a factory reset and kindly upgraded it to Lollipop. Happily, my OTG works as before - if anything, it's faster. Someone at Tesco is guilty of a terminological inexactitude. By the way, "there are no plans to release any further Hudl updates" is disgraceful. Google have released a couple of security updates since 5.1 came out; we should at least get those.

I use it that way frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rockhoppdr Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 MY HUDL2 DOES NOT HAVE ANY VOLTAGE ON THE POWER PINS1 AND 4 OF THE USB PORT. THE HUDL2 CHARGES OK. Android version 4.4.2. So it won't power a mouse or a keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dogburp Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Just for information both of mine,which have 5.1 can connect to OTG memory sticks. Both are HTF8A4XX Devices, but were bought many months if not a year or so apart. I have the screen jitter problem on one and not the other, though I can't find any differences between the two, so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
