Hi, I I recently bought this adapter online so i don't have to carry two separate cables when I travel (one for tab, and other for phone).
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...rs_Chargers&hash=item19c4c95c01#ht_1561wt_802
This product works well as it allows you to charge your tab with a micro sd cable and standard tab wall charger or any charger with usb dongle. If you have any questions let me know, I but I highly recommend this to all tab users who also have phones that charge through micro usb.

What I want to try next is to plug my s2 otg cable into the adapter and get host mode.
If anyone can link me to the kernel that works with overcome let me know.

I have (2) different micro usb host cables for galaxy s 2 and I was thinking of trying to consolidate and use them here too but I don't know how to compile a kernel with host capabilities.
If someone where to be able to make one for me that will work with overcome I can test this.

May want to edit OP to reflect MicroUSB, not MicroSD - Might be helpful.

Got mine yesterday. Works Recomended!
I was gonna buy 1 but the description says "Computer + micro usb data cable can not charge. Please use the original wall adapter to charge with this cable!"
is it true that when you plug it in to a computer it will only do data but won't charge the battery?

If you want to use a computer or an usb wall charger you can buy a USB DC dongle and it will charge.

Interesting! What magic is making this happen? I thought usb was limited to 500ma draw before the computer starts complaining. Is this safe? I mean, it works, thats great but i'd love to know why/how?
No idea... but it charges for me. Slower than from the original USB wall charger but it will charge.

Nice! This is exactly what I was looking for, as I've repurposed my P1000 as a head unit and need to charge it in the car while it's in use, and didn't have any success hacking together a cable with resistors to do the trick.
what about file sync? i mean can it work like regular usb cable to connect tab2 to PC, for file managment and stuff?
it should be possible, since it's regular usb2.0 on the other side of the cable and micro-usb is just the same wiring but smaller...
so i noticed it doesn't charge from a PC's usb, and it will do if i use magical adapter mentioned in replies here, right?
The Question is = will it allow file management and charging at the same time if i use micro-usb and usb-charge adapter?
also found this: http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/592818965/for_Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_USB_Adapter.html
it only states that it charges over micro-usb, not sure if it can transfer data.
and this: http://www.sunsky-online.com/view/232254.htm
this states that it's for P1000 (dunno, do they have same connector?) and it doesn't clarify if it's for charging only or can transfer data
I have a 360 and I use the 360 wireless adapter which currently occupies the USB port on the back.
I see that the Turtlebeach requires me to plug this into the back USB port.
What's the best way to go about this? No, I will not use Ethernet cable or get the new Xbox.

Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
No it doesn't need to be plugged into the back port. You can use any USB port (even one from your computer). The back port is recommended because it only provides power thus freeing up the other USB ports for things that don't only need power for
Or at least I think so. Either way any USB on your Xbox will work for your Turtle Beaches.
Cool. I will try it now. This thing is a beast. I didn't think people took mics this serious. My GF got it for me.

What model is it?
The anandtech review says that the nexus 7 has OTG support, so I just ordered this OTG cable. Its only
$4 .00 and ships fast. If you're in the UK search OTG on eBay and you'll find a cheap cable that ships to the UK, this one is in the US though. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Micro-USB-O...Accessories&hash=item43b051fc2e#ht_4080wt_689

Is there any USB OTGs that look just like a small USB dongle and you can put microSD cards in there instead of USBs?

This may be along the lines of what you're looking for. Just pop it in the cable in the OP.

Actually the devs don't need to fix anything, all you need to do is root the device and bam, you can mount an OTG USB device. That's what I'm gonna do!

Is there such a thing as dual USB otg cable, Micro USB to dual female USB? I figure the tablet could charge whilst using external storage that way
I found this item on Ebay - OTG Micro USB Host All In One Card Reader For Samsung S2 i9100 i9300 i9220 i9250
(search for item # 390452881730)
it seems like it should work assuming you have stickmount installed. Anyhow have an adapter like this?
I was going to get the regular cable - but thought this would have the sd card reader built into the cable and could be handy to only have to carry one cable (vs multiple cables/adapters)
It claims to be for the Galaxy S2/3 so it should work fine. It still needs a cable so I can't see where the advantage lies over an otg cable and usb stick card reader, that said it's cheap so go for it.
So hold on, this adapter would still need the otg cable? The description says it is an otg built in... not sure I follow you.

It doesn't need an otg cable it plugs right in to your phone/tablet. This is what I have been looking for for so long man thanks for finding it! I do photography and this is gonna be so awesome to sort photos from a shoot without having cables everywhere and movies on long flights. Double thanks for you!

i gotta get one of these to stuff in my camera bag for work, thanks for the idea !
When I said it needs a cable I meant it connects to the tablet by a cable, not an otg. I'm going by the images in the eBay auction which seem to show a micro usb socket on the back. If that's the case I can't really see the advantage, as I said ^
Looking at the images, one would think that if your N7 is in just about any case you wouldn't be able to connect this easily. I'll stick with a cable...

hey Karl0ss,
have you bought this item and tried it? I was just about to order one - but you if have one and it didn't work - I will keep looking for another option. Please let us know
Does anyone have one of these that can tell me more about it?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Micro-U..._PDA_Cables_Adapters&var=&hash=item3cd4db7fb9
Looks like from the bottom of the listing it states:
"Attention: The MHL, OTG,Card reader and Charge function only can be used one at the same time. cannot use it together
all functions can be used only when the adapter is being charged"
Not a bad price, but if I can't at least use HDMI + another function like SD card or USB peripherals it seems a little redundant
Thoughts?

Hi.
Have you received your HDMI kit yet? Does it work?
I received mine today but unfortunately, the HDMI function does not work at all, I don't know if it is my TV or the device is defective.
The OTG function works only if external power is plugged in which makes this device almost useless. There is no way to plug in the external power and SD card at the same time.
My phone is running Jedi X16.
Update:
I read the instruction manual and confirmed that external power supply is required for all functions of this device. So we can forget about using it as a portable OTG doggle.
I also connected a USB keyboard and a USB mouse to it and both worked at the same time.
So the remaining question is whether the HDMI works with Jedi X. I tried it on two Panasonic TVs and both didn't work.
2nd Update
Read the forum and found that I have to turn on Airplane Mode for HDMI to work. My phone did detected the HDMI cable but no video out. Used my other cheap MHL cable and video was displayed on my TV. So it seems that my device is defective.

Any updates?
It works as an OTG adapter but you have to plug in power first to make it works so it is not too convenient.
It didn't work as an HDMI adapter no matter how I connected it to my TV.
Initially I thought it was defective, the seller had sent me an replacement but with same result.

I have the official mhl adapter from Samsung. Bought it on Amazon uk at a great price. Must buy from Amazon and not from of the other sellers from Hong Kong
Anyhow just mentioning that it too needs to have power supplied for it to work. I just plug a cheap usb cable into a usb port on either the satellite decoder box or the tv and that works fine.
Btw the Samsung mhl adopter works amazingly well. I've had absolutely no problems using it to watch Netflix, streaming tv, YouTube, or playing videos from the sd card. Everything I've thrown at it works really well.

One of these hdmi/usb/card reader devices?
I already have a cheapo MHL adapter which works fine (yes, you need power plugged in). But I wanted to add USB OTG, and this seems the only device that will give it to me on the cheap. So I'd really like to know if anyone has one that works with HDMI and USB at the same time.
I also find it hard to believe how so many sellers out there can be selling these when it's physically impossible to plug in an SD card at the same time as the micro USB plugged in for power. That's obviously a massive design fault.
Once the connection kit and the power are plugged in and the phone detected the existence of the adapter, you can remove the power and insert the USB drive or SD card.
