Did some one try to connect and play games with an xbox 360 controller.. wired over usb OTG
Yeah, I have the wireless Xbox360 Controller, normally for pc Games..
I connected the wireless reciever with an usb otg cable with the xz and let the Controller search for the reciever. 2sec he founds it and I could playGames like GTA/MaxPayne/RealRacing with the Controller, pretty nice!

How do you connect the otg cable to the controller since it is wireless? from the amazon cables I see that you need a male USB to plug into the otg female USB. Where does the male USB come from the wireless xbox controller?

My fault totally. It makes sense. However, it means that you still have to have the usb receiver plugged into the microusb
of the xz via the otg, which makes it impossible to display onto tv via mhl.

You can still mirror the xz contents to a supported tv.

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

Has anybody tried Remote Release with the Droid 4? It does Canon DSLR and normally works with Galaxy S2 and 3 without rooting.
Using a USB OTG cable I've connected my Canon DSLR but I had now joy unfortunately...it doesn't recognise anything. Also I've tried keyboard and mouse but that doesn't seem to be working either. Am I missing something

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.

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

I was wondering if I can use my hdtv thingy (sorry I can't think of the name right now) to connect with hdmi to display port cable to my monitor

How about via to hdmi or dvi t hdmi? Do they both work?
Sent from my SGH-I317M using xda premium
I don't think you can go HDMI to displayport with a cheap passive adapter. You need an expensive active adapter. HDMI to DVI may work as long as it is single and not dual link dvi.
Sorry, I wasn't understanding your question earlier...
What I would try is to use a known working mhl adaptor for the Note 2 first then plug that to the HDMI to DVI adaptor. In their theory it should work. There's some DVI adaptors on Amazon you can try workout breaking the bank.
Is it possible to use MHL and OTG at the same time?

Try it and see, but I don't think so....not enough power (Let alone not enough micro usb ports on the phone)
Do you know any adapters that would support it?

No, but some people have made some of their own. It may be possible to get the connections correct, I just think you will struggle for power. What are you planning in running un the OTG at the same time as a MHL connection
Something like Acer Extend... To use my phone as a terminal for Remote Desktop and ssh.

Did you find any thing that would work?
I was really disappointed that Sony's IM750 did not include this function.
No...

You could try a powered hub with a micro usb female port but Im not sure if it would work or not. I know via a powered hub you can have several devices connected at the same time but to include MHL I'm really not sure. Is there an MHL cable with a female USB / micro USB slot in it? So you could connect the MHL directly into the phone and then potentially feed the USB hub from it? Not sure m8.

Hi guys! Have anyone tried this setup? While connected to MHL adapter the charging is not enough and I want to connect mu magnetic charging cable at the same time with the mhl adapter. Is it safe?
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yes, work in this way. This was recommended to me here on XDA.
Thanks! Will try that later. I'm scared that this might overcharge our z1.

As far as I can tell the MHL doesn't charge the handset

It was not the case but some MHL have to be plugged in to charger to let HDMI working. He just want plug the phone under charging and use the MHL cable.
