Moto X works for me (in both host and device modes). Also, note that some Android devices support host mode *despite* having a micro-B connector as opposed to the standard micro-A. For working with such a device you're have to buy a non-standard OTG adapter (micro-B male to A female). These adapters are pretty common (in either cable or plug form).
