Hello guys,
I would like to use my XZ2 with USB Hub to power mouse, keyboard, flash etc. But I worry about it discharging quickly while playing for example. Does XZ2 support OTG and charging at the same time?
I bought an OTG charching cable from china recently but it does not seem to work, it does not charge even without OTG device connected. So I wanted to ask if any of you have any experience with this. I read that some devices support it, but its dependant on the kernel. My samsung tablet does.
One thing that comes to my mind is, is it possible to OTG and wireless charge at the same time?
And lastly, does XZ2 support USB-C to HDMI, I think that I saw post here recently, but I am not entirely sure.
Thank you for any responce in Advance.

HDMI is not supported and your dock needs an own power supply or your phone will tell you, that the hub needs too much power.

Not sure if this has already been discussed/discovered, but will it be possible to use the new Nexus dock "and" an OTG cable at the same time? It seems feasible given that the dock charges the device using the pin connectors which frees up the USB port.
One possible problem is that the dock also acts as a passthrough for data/audio so there may be a problem with the tablet trying to reconcile both sources trying to have simultaneous access.
I ask because it would be nice to be able to charge my Nexus 7 and utilize an OTG cable (for storage drives and game controllers) at the same time. I know there is an OTG Y-cable solution, but that involves rooting the tablet.
Has anyone already explored the possibilities of this combination?

I read somewhere else that while docked, the device doesn't react to an OTG cable. This is just what I've heard, haven't seen it confirmed.
This guy did something similar, and the results are evident: Dock point is useless! Charge and OTG can not be carried out simultaneously!
Would be nice to know, if Timurs kernel, which allows charging and multiple USB would solve this. Have no dock, so I can not check. What I would like to have is something like the magnetic pogo charger which is annonced for Nexus 10.
Hi all,
I'm having two problems that I believe are related.
1) I bought the official MHL 3.0 sony cable and my tv intermitently sees the hdmi source. Off and on every second and my phone screen never displays onto the screen. Also the phone alternates saying its being charged and not being charged.
2) With some power sources, charging by micro USB alternates being charge and not being charged off and on just like the above case. But some micro USB cables/sources work just fine. As well my magnetic dock connector charges my phone fine as well. USB hosting is fine too.
Anyone has tried MHL or have had similar problems? Should I contact clove? I'm in Canada and sending it back there seems quite the pain. And if i just can't use MHL or certain cables maybe i should bite my tongue and keep the phone as is. I love it otherwise and haven't phone any faults until trying the MHL cable...
old mhl adapter works
My old mhl adapter, which requires its own power source through micro USB does work and I can mirror my screen to the TV. I just think that mhl 3.0 with power from the HDMI is not enough to drive/consistently power my phone. Same for the micro USB connectors that don't seem to keep a consistent charge on my phone. Anyone see anything similar?
Use Chromecast, the phone has a dedicated cast screen option
Yes I have used chromecast and it works great. I just wonder if anyone has tried mhl 3.0 Sony cable or has had the same chagrging experience as me.
Were you able to solve this? Im thinking about getting an MHL 3.0 cable but not sure whether my monitor will be able to handle it
Does anyone know of a way to have OTG and charging at the same time? I know you can use wireless charging and otg at the same time, I'd like to know if it can all be done through usb.

I have that exact cable. It only Powers the peripheral device. From what I can gather it's a software thing with the gs6, but I have such a small understanding of this kind of stuff.
It should be possible, I believe they had a docking station with a USB port that worked the way you're thinking

It was for the S4, but the reason it shouldn't work for the S6 is that the S6 no longer uses the micro-usb/MDL plug. Just saying that it should be possible to power the phone and do OTG

anyone knows if Marshmallow Android 6 new kernel supports charge phone over OTG cable for Galaxy S6 Edge?
Lava OTG charger, 40 bucks and works a couple times. Lol I'm seriously about ready to throw all my devices.
I bought this cable: http://www.amazon.com/Micro-Cable-Player-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B00CXAC1ZW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1453677269&sr=8-1&keywords=otg+charging+cable and it works fine with my friends Windows Phone, i.e harddrive connects and the phone charges, but on my S6 it doesn't charge at all. Is this a wiring issue with the S6 or some software restriction?

did you ever find a solution - having same problem OTG cable working on other android devices but not my T-mobile S6 with broken touch screen
I know I'm late on this, but I have an S6 around and I'm trying to make other uses out of it, however I have struggled with this with everything I've done.
I haven't solved this, but today I came with an idea that may help some people, at least it seems it will work for me.
Ok, we cannot charge through the usb while using OTG, but we can charge through wireless and use OTG at the same time.
I have tested this with a cheap wireless base and I have plugged to the OTG first a powered usb hub and of course the phone was charging without problems. Then removed the hub and plugged a USB micro SD reader with a card directly to the OTG cable, it also continued to charge, it has charged to 100% with that plugged on.
Hope it helps.
Regards.
Hi folks, as title I'd like to use my Android smartphone (S8+ but switching it with Pixel 2 XL soon..) as PC.
I'd like to use an usb hub to connect devices as keyboard, mouse, HDD.. and simultaneously also charge it!!
Now it seems no possible to have usb devices connected and charge the smartphone but!! But I've Samsung dock station that I used with my S8+ that is actually as an usb hub that allow to connect devices throw usb ports AND, at same time, charging it!!
So IMHO why it's so hard to find an usb hub that works like the Samsung dock station??
Can someone help me to understand it?
Thank you

Too much recargable devices. My idea is using USB hub I can connect mouse, keyboard, maybe HDD and printer and at same time also charge the phone.
If Samsung Dex dock can, why can't reproduce it on other devices?
Docking station is not a new idea. These ones are from 2015. + additional powered usb HUB and should work - I guess. I have only experience with Samsung docking stations as they work without a problem (with Samsung smartphones obviously).
Hi again to everyone!!
I'd like to update my thread specifying that I've now Pixel 2XL running Android 8.1
Does it means it's easier to use my smartphone as PC now?
Can I connect keyboard+mouse+external HDD to my smartphone using an USB hub and same time recharging it?
Please can you help me to do that?
What do you think something about it?

Tech problem.
So I brought a OTG T-C adapter for my phone so I can plug in a OTG hub that allows me to plug in my keyboard and mouse. I have an A8.
Problem is it wont detect either. It is getting power, if I plug my cell into it instead of connecting it to the OTG cord, it will charge which shows me power is going through it. (Tried this with the otg adapter on too, can charge with the other cord fine)
The mouse is fine (I tried it with my other mouse too same problem) The keyboard is brand new too.
My cell also supports otg, so thats not an issue either.
I have searched for a while now without finding any relevant information to help me solve this.
Any help/suggestions?

Not all devices are able to use OTG Adapters.
You need to check and see if your device is compatible with OTG Adapters.
For example, the Samsung Galaxy S5 is compatible with OTG Adapters but, the Samsung Galaxy S6 is not.
This is hardware related and not firmware.
This is the best advice I can give you...
Good Luck!
