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.

Would a USB hub work?
Max. (From my Galaxy 2)
I have to look for a hub but I don't know if that'll work. This headset is hella complicated.

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.

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).

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.

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.
Ill link you to the one I have.

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?

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
Does Droid 4 have Host USB capability? In Lapdock it should but what about other methods.
Theoretically Droid 3 didn't have HostUSB functionality, but when you did connect it to Lapdock or HD Dock with USB the ports were supported and there were even app for supporting flash drives. The only with ancestor was that USB didn't have power so you couldn't use cables that have microUSB/USB to connect devices.
droid 4 will do usb host with a few caveats.
It will only do fat32 formated flash drives.
you need to power the drive off another device.
basically you need a usb otg (micro male on one end, usb female on the other) and a usb hub that uses an ac adaptor. The hub with power cord provides the power for the device, and the OTG cable is for the data. This can also be achieved using a powered y cable in place of the hub, but you would need to have the power-only usb port plugged in to a power source.
edit: link to y cable image for better explanation

Thanks, I've seen this already. I guess what I was looking for is to understand whether everything OTG needs power or just things like keyboard/mouse/pendrive - things that actually consume it. TBH the DSLR camera itself is not actually being charged or anything, it is just DATA, so I was sort of hoping that I can avoid.
Out of all the devices i have tried all have needed external power... prior to the purchase of an HD docking station I just used a powered USB hub with an otg cable....

I think I've made an assumption that it would behave similar to my android tablet, just plug in the pendrive and it's all good. I have defo came across devices that don't need external power, especially for a camera that doesn't take power.

I'M thinking about getting a nexus 7. Question about it's USB OTG capability: Can it connect to multiple things at once through a USB host? I am thinking the ultimate portable workplace would be a portable keyboard, mouse, a microSD reader, and a charging cable all coming from a single host. Is Android at the point where this sort of thing is possible yet?

No, currently you can connect to 1 slave usb device, maybe 2 with the use of an Y splitter cable, if at that. Am not sure if it's a software or hardware limitation.

With usb otg cable pluged in usb hub you can connect more devices.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN5_kJjKT5o.
You should know though that while using USB OTG (if i recall correctly) you are not able to charge the N7 at the same time. It is either one or the other.
While using OTG can charging if flash patched kernel.

Thats what I am gonna xo, as soon as my y- cable arrives.
I'm thinking of getting a Bluetooth keyboard

Awesome! Can't wait for more kernals incorporate it.
Anyone had any luck with these cables? Specifically using an external DAC while still powering the phone. It's possible on my Nexus 7 with a custom kernel.

I am using one of these cables, but in a different manner, ie I am accessing a WD Passport 1TB external drive. (does not have ac in) Both my drive is powered AND my phone is charged. (tried using both a 10kmAh external battery pack as well is direct AC adapter.
Know it's not exactly the setup you are using, but as far as cables go, the phone seems to work well with this setup. YMMV

If I may ask, where did you get the cable? The only one I found so far is on Amazon and review there say that it will not charge the phone, just the external device.

Just an update. I ordered one of these http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=261170130579&index=0&nav=SEARCH&nid=87388073446
Should have it next week to test but based on the seller's description and testing on similar devices, sounds promising. I'll report back.
I have just bought it.
Initially USB hosting works, but I have no chance to charge at this time.
-----update-----
The female micro USB jack does not charge the phone like the one for Galaxy Tab.
Do you think we still need to add a 40.2k ohm resistor just in the galaxy s3 and will a stock kernel work?

I would like to add I managed to get an OTG + charging cable working for the Note 2 (N7100) using a cable made with these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953061
But... the 4.1.2 update stopped the USB from working on my Note 2, and someone else is reporting a similar problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38611244&postcount=42 . What happens is the Note 2 does detect it's using a dock, but the USB functionality doesn't work for some odd reason (even after a reboot).
I will reply again if it starts working in a future update.

Probably the same as the s3 - shorted pins = otg+no charging, resistor fools the phone into thinking it has an accessory/dock that can charge safely.

It sees that it's in a "dock" but nothing I plug in will work. It does charge though. If I short out the pins I get host mode, but no charging. This is with the Jedi rom, not stock.
hey droids!
just thought id share my set up atm incase anyone is keen to do something along the same lines.
Currently running Ubuntu 13.04 raring ringtail on the nexus 7, sitting on an adjustable stand i salavage from a desklamp.
when running the device i use a wireless mouse and wired keyboard via an otg cable and a 4 port usb hub, then a 1tb desktop HDD then to finish it off it an extra usb charger i wired up from the pogo pins
so far so good. it doesnt really charge while using it, it more sits at the same voltage lol so thats fine. when the screen is off it charges fine.
pics tomorrow
Sounds interesting, how do you charge it, using a pogo dock?
You should post pictures of your setup
