OTG Test For RF Explorer

We have identified 3 requirements for an Android device to support USB Host Mode and be able to communicate with an RF Explorer handheld spectrum analyzer:[1] The Android device must be running version 4.1 (Jelly Bean) of the OS, or higher.[2] The output power on the Android device's USB port should be 5V.[3] The configuration file android.hardware.usb.host.xml must exist on the Android device in the folder /system/etc/permissions. The presence of this configuration file is what enables USB Host Mode on your Android device.If you have an RF Explorer device and OTG cable then this app can be used to confirm whether your Android device meets the requirements above.If you do not have an OTG cable and your Android device uses a micro-USB port, then we recommend this OTG cable from Lindy.com:http://www.lindy-usa.com/05m-usb-otg-cable-black-type-micro-b-to-mini-b-31717.htmlTo learn more about USB Host Mode (Android) And The OTG Extension, please visit:http://rfxplorer.com/usb-host-mode

Does not work, tried it on 3 different phones. Website only has outdated support content. My phone works with all other OTG devices except this one. Fail.

Conflicting results. With my RF Explorer WSUB1G PLUS connected got three green ticks but popup error messages saying invalid main and expansion modules. I guess this means it can talk to the Explorer but doesn't like the result!

It will pass the first two tests but will NOT connect to the RF Explorer. OTG works with my SDR RTL dongle but not the explorer ?

Reliable software to check whether your Android device can work with OTG or not before you buy software.
