  2. I have sony xperia Z1 and s-link hi speed otg hub, I tried to connect my logitec m90 mouse to my android phone but it didn’t work (also tried on other phones, same result). What can I do to fix this problem? Is it the cable or the mouse?

    • Your Mobile/tablet should be supporting OTG.
      Install ‘Google Indic Keyboard’.
      Attach keyboard USB/Bluetooth.
      Go to Settings > Language & Input > selet ‘Google Indic Keyboard’
