Hi friends,
I want to attach to my touchpad memory card reader and external hard drive.
I wonder if it will be possible instead of buying Y cable and connect it to the OTG, to use my existing USB hub and connect to him the devices and the external battery bank.
Will it work?
Thanks

im assuming youre talking about doing this in android 4.0.x +. if so then yes you should be able to connect an externally powered usb hub to the OTG cable and connect more than one device at a time.
Thanks

Yes android 4.

I have normal usb hub which I will connect him the power with usb battery bank device.
will it work?

Yes. You need to give power to the periphal usb devices. I tried the same yesterday, without problems.
Hey all
I have a powered Belkin USB hub (this one: http://www.belkin.com/us/F4U040-Belkin/p/P-F4U040), coupled with an OTG cable which I know work together, as my Kindle Fire recognizes all USB devices through this setup (Keyboard, Mouse, Flash Drive etc).
I was surprised to find that my HP touchpad does not recognize any devices connected to this hub.
I did some diagnostics with USB Device Utility, and the touchpad recognizes my USB OTG cable, as it shows as a 'Qualcomm On-Chip EHCI Host Controller'.
The touchpad simply does not see anything plugged into the hub, be it a keyboard, mouse or flash drive.
Please help me here, guys!
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Are you sure that's powered? The picture doesn't show any DC connectors. Is it powered by something like a mini USB to USB cable on the back? If so, that might not be enough to power the device and the peripherals attached to the ports.

The belkin does have an external dc power supply and is not powered via usb
I think you need a Y cable even with a powered hub as its purpose is to inject power back into the OTG chip in the Touchpad.
SO I was this weekend to ski and when I came home I couldn't find my usb cable and charger...I have another mini usb cable but it just charging my phone mass storage not working...this is because is not an original usb cable right? Is there any tric or something to make it work?

if it is charging.....then the pins for the data transfer in the mini-USB cable is not connected.....AFAIK, I think there are no tricks....
one trick is to get yourself a new data cable....
Hello every1.
I have a problem here.
When I plug in my USB cable to my S4A and connect it to PC, I get only charging and NO USB CONNECTION.
No USB debugging, no anything but phone charging.
Anyone has an idea what of system files should I look at for that?
I've tried SG Mass Storage enabler (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mohammadag.samsungusbmassstorageenabler) and after that it stop connecting.
What does that app do and change, so what should I revert to stock state??
Please help.
Some Windows setup needs to be repaired to properly identify USB connected hardware. I have a link to fix it in my thread

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.
i got problem with device manager,when i connect my phone to my pc
my phone only charging...did not show up "USE AS ,MTP.FILE TRANSFER" thing like that
try to update with xiaomi usb driver,but no luck lol
There should be a USB notification on the phone that you can click to select file transfer.
Try a different cable or usb port and see will it work
I have same problem. Phone is Mi 9 and when I plug into USB 2 port it is charging and file transferring but when I connect to USB 3 port just charging, no file transfer. It does not ask what to do (USB options). It makes sound when connected to USB 3 port, charging but neither asking for USB options nor seen on my computer. I tried 3 different type-c cable but result is same. When trying to update driver it says it is already the most updated one.
