MHL + OTG simultaneously - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I've bought 5 in 1 MHL adapter for Sony Xperia Z3 Compact.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/5in1-USB-OT...hash=item3abe751335:m:mYdZ0mYtBAtzUwzYCG21rtg
MHL is working great but OTG function with this adapter is not working. Is it wrong adapter or Z3 Compact doesn't support MHL + OTG simultaneously?
My firmware is 23.5.A.1.291.

I have a question for you, do try a wired mouse? More usb memory? 2gb, 4 gb, 8 gb, 16gb

Yes I have tried wired mouse, USB flash drive with less capacity and also SD and micro SD card, with no success. It is not working.

Did You try it with external power? MHL needs a lot of juice so when You are connecting both MHL and OTG, MHL takes all power from phone or too weak external adapter.

This adapter only works with external power. I've tried several external adapters.

Ok, so it can be incompatible with Z3c. I searched for one for myself some time ago and most of them (combo MHL+OTG) was for Samsung only cause it has some extra pins in USB port to separate OTG with MHL. Sony has standard 6 or 5 pins USB port instead of 12 pins like Samsung and thats why Samsung adapters wont works with Sony phones. I think only reasonable option is Chromecast/Miracast + standard OTG adapter.

Ok thank you for explanation. I found out that OTG works only without external power and MHL works only with external power. If somebody will found an adapter where MHL + OTG works simultaneously, just let me know. I have bad experience with Chromecast - delay in games is considerable.

Hi mr1uke, sorry for the late question, but could you tell me whether the limitation you said about the OTG (works only without external power) is in the Xperia Z3 or in the 5 in 1 MHL adapter ? Thank you.

Split the micro USB for charging and USB OTG

Hello,
I want to do some stuff at the same time with my phone.
Watching a movie from an usb stick while charging the phone.
So, I've bought this HDMI converter
When you plug this into the phone you can plug in your charger or USB OTG adapter in the usb port on the HDMI converter.
But i can't find any splitter cable on the internet or ebay so i can charge my phone and connect my usb stick at the same time.
I wonder if this is even possible. It is possible to charge the phone when HDMI converter is connected and it is also possible to connect my USB stick to the HDMI converter.
Anyone ever tried this or has found a simple micro usb splitter cable or normal usb splitter cable?
You can't connect a normal USB Hub because i can't send power back to my phone through the hub.
Thanks :good:
Sorry I can't help with your splitter request.
However I'd be really interested in knowing if those two items work fine with the Note 2?
Sent from my Nexus One using xda app-developers app
so the i know it isnt possible with the 5 pin mhl adapter (the old one thats not compatible with this phone)
I wonder if the 11pn version does allow this. I know the cables dont exist for what you are looking to do, there is a galaxy note smart dock 2 that seems to allow hdmi and 3 usb ports, if they allow it at the same time then it would be at least possible.
it must be. did you try the smart dock?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953061&page=2
I've ordered one and i will see how it will perform. smart dock is nice but pricey i'd like one for home and work!
Bought this one http://goo.gl/6OiGx and as it is listed compatible with the NOte 2 and the Galaxy S3 i was hoping it would work with the Note 2 as well - nope: only power OR OTG, not both.

Old thread... at least on my GS3 I have found that the ability to charge and use USB OTG at the same time is kernal specific. Anyone ever find one that works on Note 2?

Concerning USB OTG storage

Hello all, I just got this device free from my operator, SIM free, and I would like to share this particular aspect.
First of all make shure your X SP is fully charged and you are using a working USB OTG cable adapter (preferably tested on other devices).
1. USB pendrives, SD and microSD adapters. Xperia SP supports out of the box USB storage meaning pendrives and SD adapters like Sandisk Cruzer (some old 4GBmodel) and some Sandisk 32 GB microSD car in Sony Ericsson's IM 920 adapter. All of them formatted as FAT32.
Yes I've encountered fails but related exclusively to voltage (both pendrives and SD adapters). Dunno which will work for you, better try before you buy.
2. Yes it supports exFAT. FWs prior to ...2.254 do not. I've tested them all. I am specific to the aforementioned. exFAt meaning you can mount microSD cards 64+ gigs and virtually any filesizes, think of 8 GB .mkv files.
3. It hurts when it comes to HDDs. Before anything make sure your external HDD has also an external power supply. It means you have to see a wire leading to a wall socket which is being actually connected. Otherwise your phone or tablet will never be able to power by itself a HDD, be it 2.5 or 3.5 inch. Moving on, I found plugging in any externally powered HDD does nothing by itself.
In comes the trick. I own a Xperia LiveDock DK10 for the 2011 range. It's externally powered and also has an USB OTG input. It helped me before with each pendrive which didn't work by itself when plugged in the USB OTG cable alone. Powering the dock supplied the energy the setup was lacking.
Since the most of you will find the dock redundant or missing from stocks I am glad to inform you all that some USB hub that was lying around, branded Manhattan, with external power supply, did exactly that job.
Here are some examples:
Toshiba 500 GB HDD FAT32 file format, 2.5" form factor, IcyBox enclosure, separate power supply, plugged in the 1st port of a Manhattan USB Hub, power supply powered in, mini USB output plugged in USB OTG adapter in Sony Xperia SP, fully charged. Played 1080p mkvs smoothly.
1500 GB Seagate/Samsung, 2000 GB Hitachi NTFS formatted 3.5 HDDs in powered racks, externally powered Manhattan USB hub, USB OTG cable, Xperia SP rooted, installed Paragon exFAT, NTFS & HFS+ and Paragon USB plugin for Total Commander, full size drive fully accesible.
..............................
Also Sony Nex camera, 64GB exFAT SD card inside, connected only with USB OTG cable on Xperia SP - working.
Thanks, u have photos?

MHL adapter for M8

Does anybody know of a working MHL adapter with at least a 12" USB cable?
I tried these and they do not work (work probably 1 out of 20 times if you keep plugging/unplugging)

Is the Skiva MHL Micro USB to male HDMI cable (6.5 feet) for Samsung Galaxy S3 (SIII LTE i9300 L710 i747... the one that works with your M8?

No, only the old Samsung one works consistently which has the short usb cAble.
I bought this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171391851548
works perfectly as I think most will.
It's all down to the sequence you plug the cables in.
Power>Phone>HDMI
Cant remember the correct sequence but try it out.
COPIED FROM AMAZON AD.
1. connect the charger to the adapter cable and power supply
2. connect the adapter cable to the HDTV device
3. connect the Smartphone to the adapter cable

I tried allcombinations before posting and none works consistently with the 2 cables I bought .
With the old Samsung adapter, it doesn't matter which order you plug in phone, power and hdmi.
I don't think all cables/adapters (advertised as 5 pin) are same. It cut open the usb part from the working Samsung adapter and it has 7 wires.
The other non working ones have 5.
If anyone is interested to know, this one works for me most of the time. Doesn't matter which order I plug it in (I usually plug the phone last though)

Its 3m in length and requires external power to work. It charges the phone although slower than MHL drains, i.e. your phone will still be discharging while connected via MHL but at a much slower rate.

Magisk module will fix it
I'd rather not root the phone.
will lose wedevine level...
Hey !
For me, using the Dualshock 4 via Bluetooth is impossible, it lags and duplicate commands, but it actually works perfectly via OTG
how?
Plugged it in my MI 9 and nothing happens.
I'm using original MI 9 charger cable and and otg micro usb adapter like this.
no reaction at all.
even tried a usb-c to hdmi hub (has hdmi, USB port and PD). nothing.

Is the OTG working on other devices?
I'm using a Samsung one (see attachments), it's the one included in the Galaxy S10 box, a friend gave it to me because he had one already, you can find it here
I just plug the controller inside the USB and then plug the OTG in the phone using the Type C
I think you are actually plugging the phone into the controller because the OTG you sent me is a Micro USB one, so you might be plugging your phone into the OTG that you actually plug into the controller
I see but also tried one of these:
RON 26.05 32%OFF | Kebidu Type-C Female Adapter Usb Type-C Hub Adapter 3-in-1 USB C hub to HDMI USB3.0 with Charging Converter
https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/2dG8IbBa
Which I'm essence is the same as otg using the hub and still nothing
unfortunately xiaomi screwed us again.
although android 10 comes with dualshock 4 support, it's nowhere to be seen in miui11
so here's the deal, both of my Dualshock 4 controllers are v1.
Borowed a V2 from a friend, no lag whatsoever. not sure, but I suspect a driver issue on the phone side with v1
Rooted mi9 ps4 controller
