Hello!
Today I (Finally) received my USB OTG Y cable! I have the Samsung Galaxy S3 4G (I9305) and i bought the cable because the ebay site said it was for s3. I was really happy when i got it and plugged my usb memory stick into it. It all worked good. Then I plugged in the charger (to the female micro usb) and it didnt start charging. I wasn't happy anymore. Then i started to researh a little. I found out that my phone doesnt support USB host mode and charging at the same time ( ). So im just asking, is there a way to make my phone charge when i use the OTG cable without any hardware modifying? Can I just likes install a custom kernel that supports OTg charging? Or just make my phone think its docced when i use that cable (I thought that may work)?
Btw im running android 4.4.4 stock rom and stock kernel. Thanks for any help.
And here is a picture of the cable. Down there ⬇

Hello,
I want to do some stuff at the same time with my phone.
Watching a movie from an usb stick while charging the phone.
So, I've bought this HDMI converter
When you plug this into the phone you can plug in your charger or USB OTG adapter in the usb port on the HDMI converter.
But i can't find any splitter cable on the internet or ebay so i can charge my phone and connect my usb stick at the same time.
I wonder if this is even possible. It is possible to charge the phone when HDMI converter is connected and it is also possible to connect my USB stick to the HDMI converter.
Anyone ever tried this or has found a simple micro usb splitter cable or normal usb splitter cable?
You can't connect a normal USB Hub because i can't send power back to my phone through the hub.
Thanks :good:
Sorry I can't help with your splitter request.
However I'd be really interested in knowing if those two items work fine with the Note 2?
Sent from my Nexus One using xda app-developers app
so the i know it isnt possible with the 5 pin mhl adapter (the old one thats not compatible with this phone)
I wonder if the 11pn version does allow this. I know the cables dont exist for what you are looking to do, there is a galaxy note smart dock 2 that seems to allow hdmi and 3 usb ports, if they allow it at the same time then it would be at least possible.
it must be. did you try the smart dock?

I've ordered one and i will see how it will perform. smart dock is nice but pricey i'd like one for home and work!
Bought this one http://goo.gl/6OiGx and as it is listed compatible with the NOte 2 and the Galaxy S3 i was hoping it would work with the Note 2 as well - nope: only power OR OTG, not both.

Old thread... at least on my GS3 I have found that the ability to charge and use USB OTG at the same time is kernal specific. Anyone ever find one that works on Note 2?
I am using great AOKP SGT7 Milestone #6 on my GT-P1000.
When I started to test USB host. I can get unstable connect sometimes by original stock charger cable + Y cable. It will not stay long to work, but works for USB host mode! I never get devices by Samsung OTG connector (S-K03). I take pictures for pin-out. It has 1(USB Black),3(USB Green),4(USB White),6 (USB red),13_20k_15 only. I dont want to break stock charger cable, but I take a look on pin-out. It has 3,4,7,8,15,16,30. Weird for charge, Isnt it?
Is there any modification to let it work? At least make it as a charger cable?
hello everyone,
I have a note n7000 and i want to put it on my car, and i want to have otg, to plug usb flash memory, and i want to charge the phone in the same time. It's that possible?
I bought a otg + charging y usb from amazon france ( i don't know if i can put the link here). And it's not working, than i tried to make one like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7/help/how-to-usb-otg-charging-t2852655. But nothing.
Thanks to helping me.
Sorry for my bad English.
Hi, i recently rooted my phone and used the Post in the forums to do so, here is a pic of the kernal and all that. My question is why can i still not use my otg? Downloaded host diag, checker, helper, nothing is working. Can someone please tell me where to go from here? There are spaces so i could post the url.

seems kernel doesn't have the driver for it also the phones board doesn't supply power to the cable so you would need a y cable to supply power. Im still waiting for HTC to post the kernel source so I can make the modifications I need to it. It's been almost a month since they said they elevated my request for the source to their dev team if its not posted in a week I'm going to write them again.
There is a app I saw the other day called "stick" something that enabled phones with no otg support to use one. It was in a YouTube video about must have root apps , sorry I couldn't help more than this. I did order an otg cable after watching it.
Ok, ill look to see if it works
Nope. Still won't work. Power must be supplied for it to be registered to the phone.
E]Well i bought a powered otg y cable plug in usb portto charger the other end to my phone and the other to my usb 128gb.. nothing
still diesnt detect but it does on my samsung . So it must be the phone not the cable

I had no luck with a powered Y-cable either. I got OTG to work with my XT894 only after connecting a powered USB hub to my OTG cable, then connecting a USB flash drive to the hub.
Does anyone know of a way to have OTG and charging at the same time? I know you can use wireless charging and otg at the same time, I'd like to know if it can all be done through usb.

I have that exact cable. It only Powers the peripheral device. From what I can gather it's a software thing with the gs6, but I have such a small understanding of this kind of stuff.
It should be possible, I believe they had a docking station with a USB port that worked the way you're thinking

It was for the S4, but the reason it shouldn't work for the S6 is that the S6 no longer uses the micro-usb/MDL plug. Just saying that it should be possible to power the phone and do OTG

anyone knows if Marshmallow Android 6 new kernel supports charge phone over OTG cable for Galaxy S6 Edge?
Lava OTG charger, 40 bucks and works a couple times. Lol I'm seriously about ready to throw all my devices.
I bought this cable: http://www.amazon.com/Micro-Cable-Player-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B00CXAC1ZW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1453677269&sr=8-1&keywords=otg+charging+cable and it works fine with my friends Windows Phone, i.e harddrive connects and the phone charges, but on my S6 it doesn't charge at all. Is this a wiring issue with the S6 or some software restriction?

did you ever find a solution - having same problem OTG cable working on other android devices but not my T-mobile S6 with broken touch screen
I know I'm late on this, but I have an S6 around and I'm trying to make other uses out of it, however I have struggled with this with everything I've done.
I haven't solved this, but today I came with an idea that may help some people, at least it seems it will work for me.
Ok, we cannot charge through the usb while using OTG, but we can charge through wireless and use OTG at the same time.
I have tested this with a cheap wireless base and I have plugged to the OTG first a powered usb hub and of course the phone was charging without problems. Then removed the hub and plugged a USB micro SD reader with a card directly to the OTG cable, it also continued to charge, it has charged to 100% with that plugged on.
Hope it helps.
Regards.
