Found this cable on Amazon. This seller is in US and can ship faster I believe...

Will this cable allow for powering a USB device while using the device? Also, will it permit charging the tablet while using the USB device?

I believe you can power the secondary device, but without a custom kernel, you cannot power the tablet while OTG device is connected. I know someone made a kernel or two for the N7 but it will not work with our devices. Plus, with a pogo cable, you can just charge and OTG at the same time.
Hello, now making my USB OTG cable from nothing. Saw in the "USB Host Controller" 's settings that I can change "Operation mode" to either "Host" or "Client", not only "OTG". Does this mean that my device can enable its host capabilities without connecting the "right" OTG cable with 4&5 pins connected?
Yes. OTG mode only means it will detect the operation mode automatically.

I made a few of these cables, OTG and audio line outs (fun with resistors had me soldering and making cables for a week lol)
USB Host Controller is just a helper app, You still need to short the pins for the cable to work, as well as making it a "powered" cable since the cappy wont power OTG compatible devices that need it.
Does the USB port have any other function other than power?
Don't think so, only power AFAIK.
I plugged it into my computer and even tried pressing and pressing/holding the button on the Chromecast but my computer didn't indicate any hardware plugged in.
I wonder if the data pins are even wired to anything internally.
UPDATE: The USB cable that comes with it may not work for data transfer, tried it with my phone and it didn't work. So I tried a normal microUSB cable but still nothing.

It has bluetooth... so in theory that could be a simple alternative... we just need to figure out how to access hidden menus.

I tried this with a self powered USB OTG cable, just to see if the Chromecast would blink, bing, or do anything to show recognition, no dice. Also tried booting with a USB drive in, no difference.

Examining board
Based on examining the photos of the motherboard on ifixit.com...
Component EM1 appears to be a USB Common Mode Choke. That goes on the D+/D- pair which you can see routed from the USB port, so it wouldn't be present if there wasn't some use for data communication over the USB port. (Cost sensitive equipment.) The flip side of the PCBA shows TP1-TP20 (Where TP19 and TP20 appear to be GND). My guess is in that mix you have a JTAG port for programming/testing the unit initially with a pogo pin rig (evidenced by the dimples observed in each of those locations), and there might be more high/low GPIO pins where one might allow the unit to enter its USB data mode.

Looks like its already been rooted. With what looks like a dual usb otg. They don't go deep into what specific cable but, I would guess it is a generic dual usb one off ebay, or amazon, heres a quick one i pulled from amazon http://www.amazon.com/Micro-Cable-P...8&qid=1375052489&sr=8-3&keywords=Dual+Usb+otg
But if you read into it, they say you can root, but unless your a developer you probably wont get any benefit of rooting....yet, if at all.

Please correct me if Im wrong, but the cable you linked only charges the thumbdrive/keyboard/mice/etc NOT the Chromecast so how would one root it since it does need power from usb plug? I've been searching for correct cable and cant find it; link to correct cable would be greatly appreciated!!!
This cable wouldnt work, right? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Usb-type-A-..._USB_Cables_Hubs_Adapters&hash=item4857e3608e

I own that cable from Amazon and it should work. It brings in +5v from a charger connected to the female microUSB port and then splits it to the female full size USB port and the the male microUSB port so both the USB host device and the USB peripheral device are getting power.

I also bought that powered OTG cable off Amazon and it will power the Chromecast as well as provide the means to flash the Chromecast via a USB thumbdrive. When you apply power to the Chromecast, it automatically flashed the bin from the USB drive. There was no interaction required (or even possible). Of course this was on the original firmware - if your Chromecast updated itself, you have lost the ability to root the device at this time.
Clearly the Chromecast does sense the USB drive and pulls data from it during the initial boot sequence. However I'm not sure if it would ever work for other devices such as keyboards or storage devices, etc.
I'm not sure why anyone would want to hook those types of devices up to the Chromecast however. Once you have root, you can telnet into the device, so adding a keyboard doesn't seem that important. The whole idea of the device is that you send it media from other devices and control it via that other device. Adding storage for example doesn't seem important since it can pull media off the network already (ie a NAS or another computer).
Anyway. That has been my experience with it so far. It's a long winded answer to more than just your question about the OTG plug.
I would personally love the ability to send audio out without having an hdmi TV be on through the usb somehow...

USB Tethering not working - SGH-i997
Hi all,
i have install Avatar 7.0 to my Samsung SGH-i997 from "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2174227". it's look cool.
But when i am trying to USB Tethering, the massage shows as "Unfortunately,Setting has Stopped".
how to Fix this issue.
According to Google, we will be getting these in the box:
USB Type-C 15W (5V/3A) charger
USB Type-C to Type-C cable
So I was wondering why is everybody ordering USB C to USB A cables. Doesn't the MicroUSB cable I already have support data transfer?
Thanks.

mainly for usage between pc and phone communication, since most PC don't have USB c port yet I presume.

No need for a new cable http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-3-1-Typ...Tablet-/401000332375?var=&hash=item5d5d7b7c57
Great delivery date of up to Dec 3rd!
I will be getting a cable too, I would loose that adapter very quickly.
And of course the reason I want the cable is for charging the phone, my external battery pack only has TypeA sockets on it.

The Type C to Type C can't be used for data transfer unless you've got an adapter or the new macbook which supports the type c connection.
I'm currently on the look out for a cable that is USB to Type C that has the 3.1 speed and can also be used for data transfer.

Have you tried to connect the 5X to your computer? Has your computer recognised the phone? I tried to do this on my mac using a cheap USB A to Type C cable and it didn't work. Kept saying the phone was locked.

Yes, works fine on my windows 10 machine with the A to C cable that Google sells. Already loaded tones into the 5X.

I've read the USB defaults to "charge only" mode, you might need to switch that in the settings first.
For now I will just be transferring my files wirelessly but I might buy an adapter or type C to type A cable eventually if I desire slightly faster transfers or USB charging.

The phone includes USB Type-C which isn't the same as MicroUSB. You can't use your MicroUSB cords because they won't connect to the phone.
I've picked up a couple cables from eBay and have had to return them. They won't even go in the charging port and I am not going to force them in.
So as of right now, I'm stuck with adapters. At least they work.

The Nexus 5X does not support USB 3.1, it will be using 2.0, so don't worry about cable spec.
I successfully connected my 5x to my early 2011 macbook pro and was able to unlock the bootloader install twrp and move files with android file transfer.

Did you have any problems initially when connecting your phone to your macbook? I have a macbook pro retina from 2013/2014 and it freezes every time I connect my phone to it. I've tried the Spigen cable I have with my windows work computer and it worked just fine, but every time I plug into my macbook, I have to reboot because it freezes.

Hey !
For me, using the Dualshock 4 via Bluetooth is impossible, it lags and duplicate commands, but it actually works perfectly via OTG
how?
Plugged it in my MI 9 and nothing happens.
I'm using original MI 9 charger cable and and otg micro usb adapter like this.
no reaction at all.
even tried a usb-c to hdmi hub (has hdmi, USB port and PD). nothing.

Is the OTG working on other devices?
I'm using a Samsung one (see attachments), it's the one included in the Galaxy S10 box, a friend gave it to me because he had one already, you can find it here
I just plug the controller inside the USB and then plug the OTG in the phone using the Type C
I think you are actually plugging the phone into the controller because the OTG you sent me is a Micro USB one, so you might be plugging your phone into the OTG that you actually plug into the controller
I see but also tried one of these:
RON 26.05 32%OFF | Kebidu Type-C Female Adapter Usb Type-C Hub Adapter 3-in-1 USB C hub to HDMI USB3.0 with Charging Converter
https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/2dG8IbBa
Which I'm essence is the same as otg using the hub and still nothing
unfortunately xiaomi screwed us again.
although android 10 comes with dualshock 4 support, it's nowhere to be seen in miui11
so here's the deal, both of my Dualshock 4 controllers are v1.
Borowed a V2 from a friend, no lag whatsoever. not sure, but I suspect a driver issue on the phone side with v1
