Well, I'm totally agree with you. Could you please point out some hardware aspects which will be required for OTG support in a phone?
Thank You.
This is something I've been thinking about over the weekend. Something I'd like to research further.
While I keep hearing that the hardware in the current Lumia's don't support OTG, I'm no longer sure what that's based on. It's not the chipset, since phones with OTG use the same chipsets and are able to use OTG. Someone posted that it was the USB port itself, or the way it was wired, but that doesn't make sense either.
Perhaps in this case it could feasibly be one of those situations where the support for hardware just hasn't been added by the OS at this point, and we'll find out for sure later. I know that the chipset that Android and WP both currently use, and have used for a long number of years, support FM radio reception and transmission. The reason that Android does not have the capability to play FM radio is because they don't have support for it in the OS. Windows Phone does have the support, so WP plays OTA FM Radio stations, without the need to use data. The feature to access the hardware just needed to be programmed into the OS.
I certainly HOPE this is the case with WP and OTG, but I don't really know for sure. I do plan on trying to do some research to get a definitive answer, though. If I am able to get a RELIABLE answer, then I'll post back and let you all know. If I can't get firm answer one way or the other, then I'll just leave it hanging after this post.
I've already got a monitor, keyboard, and mouse that I dock my laptop with. I have a Logitech Unifying receiver (wireless) that allows me to connect both my wireless keyboard and mouse to the same USB port. If I could use an OTG adapter to plug the receiver into, and a MiraCast dongle for my Monitor, then I'd be in really good shape with Windows 10.
