I haven't tested it yet. Reading through the forums, I found out that the x7500/Advantage may not be able to power some external attachments without a powered USB Hub. I don't care to carry around a powered hub with a bulky power plug so I started looking around and found this...a battery powered 4 port USB hub. Perfect companion to the x7500/Advantage if you use external devices that require more power than the x7500/Advantage can provide.

I am not sure that simply using a self powered usb hub all USB-Host problem connection are solved.
In fact I already tried it connected to a normal powered usb hub (with external power supply) and the result has been the same: no USB device connection detected by my Advantage.
I tried with USB Flash drive (2 and 4 GB), USB keyboard and USB optical mouse.
The result always the same: no detection of USB device.
USB 1Gb flash works fine here.
Mouse didnt work, nor keyboard. Not sure on printers etc.
Does anyone have a list of what "should" work?

Where have you been?
This is no news. It has been discussed already
Hello,
For those who don't use the search function enough for already discussed in length subject :
I was just confronted to having a skype conversation on my nexus and trying to plug my OTG cable to check some stuff. And oh surprise, the USB is really near the jack ! And guess what, the shape of my plug device make it impossible with the OTG cable. But fortunatly I'm equipped with 2 OTG device and the second one makes the deal.
So, for any of you who is about to buy an OTG cable, maybe this experience might help you doing the good choice. Because you need to have your headphones in the train while you are watching a movie on your USB key.

This has been discussed at length in the many OTG threads.
Where did you get that USB OTG ?
I want it!
I've found them on Dealextreme (dx), 3 weeks shipping but worth the deal
Mini adapter : Micro USB On-The-Go Host OTG Adapter (Pair)
Adapter with cable : USB Female to Male Charging/Data OTG Cable for Samsung i9100 Galaxy S2 (5CM)
+
USB key : Genuine SanDisk Ultra Mini USB Flash Drive (16GB)
Works like charm on my SII and nexus 10.
I'm considering to add a powered hub to my Hui because i want to connect a usb flash drive, a dab dongle, a hard disk and maybe a wifi dongle and i want to charge my cellphone.
Right now i have an unpowered USB hub connected to my usb storage port 1. When i connect 2 usb sticks to the hub only one is detected in android, when i also connect my dab dongle, my dongle works. When i remove the USB sitck which is not working and i plug it in my USB 2 storage its also not found ( in root explorer a white icon appears before the name "usb_storage2").
Can some one explain me why the USB storage devices are not mounted / found in android? Is it even possible to add more than 2 storage devices or USB devices to our Hui? Or do i have to mount a third USB storage device manually?? Or is it because o the less of power??
I don't think android currently supports more then one USB data device. I know there are workarounds but I have not tried any. Most of these devices come with at least one sd slot so I think most (myself included) just live with the one usb limit.
About this article
In this article, we are going to talk about USB i.e. Universal Serial Bus. People might think it is easy to understand which is not the case. USBs can be hard to understand, especially if we talk about types i.e. USB Type A, USB Type B, USB Type C, etc.
USB - Universal Serial Bus
As we all know, USB stands for Universal Serial Bus. It is an industry standard that was developed to define cables, connectors, and protocols for connection, communication, and power supply between personal computers and their peripheral devices. USB standards were first released in 1996 and are maintained by the USB Implementers Forum which is a non-profitable organization created to promote and support USB - Universal Serial Bus. USB 0.8, 0.9 and 0.99 were released in December 1994 and mid 1995s which are kind of Prereleases. From 5V 1.5 A max power in USB 1.0 to 20V 5A Max power in USB 3.0 version 1.1 we have progressed a lot.
Currently, there are three generations of USB Specifications i.e.
USB 1.x
USB 2.x
USB 3.x
USB is further divided into various types depending on the shape and size of the connector.
Type A - This is the standard USB Type A also known as Standard-A which is used in computers and pen drives and most HID devices like keyboards and mouse. USB Type A is the most standard port/type used in most devices like video game consoles, pen drives, DVRs, DVD players, etc.
Type B - This is the standard USB Type B which are square in shape with either side of slight rounding. These types of ports are uncommon and are mostly used with storage devices like optical drives and hard drives and even printers.
Mini-A - These are the smaller version of connectors also known as USB-mini and were used in older smartphones and other electronic devices for charging.
Mini-B - These are smaller versions as well and like Mini-A, were used in older smartphones and other devices for charging.
Type-C - These are small and thin in shape, and have a symmetrical and oval appearance. They're different from previous Universal Serial Bus and can be plugged both ways. Nowadays, these type-c ports are used with smartphones, flash drives, and other gadgets because of the speed that they provide.
