I have a N7 mounted and I just ordered my OTG-Y cable. With the available usb port, I want to add a hub so I can connect a backup cam and maybe a hdd. Which one is best for car use?

works for sure on ubuntu, dont know about android.
for wm only with cotullas drive, maybe you can beta test
But why miniUSB instead of micro???(mini usb is written in the scheme)
And can this cable damage my HTŠ” HD2?
you can always get the gender bender and a powered hub.
or micro usb to usb and powered hub.
if you're scared.
get irc and go on #htc-linux-CHAt

To use USB Host in Leo Ubuntu 0.2, you need a cable or adapter from micro-USB male to USB female. And because Leo doens't provide enough power you need: 1) a powered USB hub, or: 2) an Y-cable

is it possible to use a USB gamepad with the tablet? what kind of adapter would be needed?
You would need to construct an OTG cable, or use the hdmi dock.
Dell has never made an official OTG cable
You would probably need a PDMI to USB adapter, but I don't think any exist.
what if i use a female to female usb adpater like this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-USB-2-0-FEMALE-FEMALE-F-F-ADAPTER-CONNECTOR-/280732594049?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item415cf76f81#ht_2429wt_1041
Those are a great way to damage both devices being plugged into it, they're not normally made for a reason
So the official POGO dock has leaked and it has a micro USB and 3.5mm jack, but what I'm wondering is if the USB port can be used for data and OTG or if it will only do power for charging. It would be awesome if the dock was able to add an extra USB port for OTG.
I would love to use this dock as a sort of keyboard dock, since I have the perfect wireless USB keyboard/track pad/mouse combo, but I don't like that it takes up the only USB port and that it hangs off the side. If I could use the USB port on the dock and plug in a USB hub that would be amazing.
when looking at the storage control panel, it lists internal, sdcard-ext, and then "/mnt/usbdisk_1.1.1" and says "insert an [sic] USB disk for mounting".
so if i were to come up with some sort of adapter, could i plug a thumb drive into my phone's micro usb port to move files between the phone and the thumb drive? i can think of plenty of times that would be useful!
Tried. OTG cable works with Samsung galaxy S2 devices (Skyrocket using either SKY ICS or rooted OTA) but haven't got it to work on our Droids...(Bionic ICS leak, RAZR ICS OTA, Droid 4 ICS OTA...all rooted).
But if someone can prove me wrong I'd be happy to "eat my words" ...

OTG works, BUT only in a very cumbersome way, since external power is needed.
A powered USB hub does not suffice, since it only powers the slave devices, not the host (= phone). The phone must be in charge-mode, which requires a Y-cable.
You need:
- an OTG adapter
- a USB hub with mini-USB in
- a USB Y cable with 2 normal USB plugs and one mini-USB out
Then
1. Connect the OTG adapter to your phone's micro-USB input
2. Connect the 'middle' USB plug of the USB Y cable into the OTG adapter
3. Connect the 'outer' USB plug of the USB Y cable to a charger (can be a portable battery as well)
4. Connect the mini-USB plug of the USB Y cable to the hub output
5. Connect any device you want to use to the USB hub
It looks like this (found this picture for Razr):

Edit: I verified it for Droid 4 last week, but didn't take my own picture yet. Works with ICS .215 leak, no 3rd party apps (like 'StickMount') seem to be needed.
Edit2: According to some other posts in this forums (search for 'OTG') it will only work for FAT32 formatted drives. Didn't check this in detail but my drive was already FAT32. Also I found it did not work for my cheap wireless keyboard's USB dongle, but connecting a wired keyboard worked fine.
...reminded again why I love this community...
...no possible links to a purchase of this "y" cable?

Glad I could help!
They come with some portable harddisks, so that's where I got mine. Not sure about the linking policy on XDA, please remove if not allowed. Here's an example:

Hi
I need some help around this.
I have a tab 3 (t315) i bought a OTG & MHL Adapter Micro USB Connection Kit HDMI and want to use it in the car for usb host and audio out.
