Infinix HOT 2 supports USB OTG
I have been hearing that the infinix hot 2 does not support USB OTG feature, that's not true.
It just doesn't work while on Android One OS(5.1.1)
you have to get lollipop (5.1) OS update from carlcare or by flashing
It would not work while on Android One OS(5.1.1) until you go to carlcare for a software update(5.1) [Build number]
The device now carries out OTG function

attached: images of DSTV USB drifta(OTG enabled devices) working on HOT 2. This feature won't work if you are still using the Android One OS until you do a software upgrade.

Bt i didn't see an otg cable connected....

Not currently available. so I used a Drifta. It is device that powers on when connected to OTG enabled devices only. It won't response if the device is not OTG enabled

I've been using the android one version.
Will it still work or I'll have to change ROMs to the infinix default rom?
Explain better please.

You have to leave android one os and get the infinix default rom frm carlcare before you can enjoy the OTG feature and lot more...

I may because the software update app is still there and it says i'm upto date

Can u clarify on the "lot more" part of ur statement?
Porting ROMs is kinda a big issue for me. I wouldn't want to regret the decision.

I didn't root it. All the features came with the default rom.

The Carlcare thingy. How much is it? Also can I upgrade back to Android One after doing it?

software update is free at carlcare and it's done immediately.
I can't say about going back to android one

It's for mounting/umounting external storage like usb flash. It woun't work if you connect flash via OTG cable because your still on androidone. Get the infinix ROM
