Anybody had a chance to try this out yet?

I'm a newbie...what does this sort of thing do?

It's for attaching USB devices to the tablet, like flash drives, mice, gamepads, etc.
Probably with one of these

(Q) usb hosting

I know someone with this device and he is able to read flash drives with his device via otg usb host adapter. What I want2 know is that a software in the system or hardware capability or both? And can this function be ported to other devices. I am a thunderbolt user and would love this feature on my device.

[Q] Can the tab read a portable hd with the usb dongle?

Just like the title says it...does anyone know if it will be able to read a portable hd using the usb dongle?
Not enough power for bus-powered spinning media. Thumb drives and externally powered drives should work.

Yes, if it is connected through powered USB Hub

Yeah, that basically makes it an external-power drive.

MHL with OTG?

Is there a way to run both cables? With a splitter of some sort maybe? I've searched amazon for a cable with no luck.
Anyone on XDA know of a way?

Nope, when I first got the phone when it came out in searched that answer out for months in hope. Finally I just bought a new controller which was why I wanted it. I lucked out and grabbed a ps3 controller from newegg new for 32.99. What exactly are you trying to setup? The one thing I can tell you won't work is trying to get say a keyboard hooked up otg and use the mhl adapter.

I was hoping to hook up MHL and run a mouse actually. So I can control netflix and maybe a few games using the mouse on my tv.

Try using a bluetooth mouse to do that.

Yeah, a Bluetooth mouse a keyboard work for me when using MHL.
I would like to do MHL and USB OTG for playing a flash drive files on the TV, instead of copying it over. But, a microSD card solved some f that.
Bluetooth didn't even come to mind for some reason haha, awesome idea! Thanks guys!

I should mention for the storage bit that there are some apps that can mount samba (windows shared) folders and you can later access data using a media app and stream the data over the network.

Can't make it function
Hi guys I see that you are talking about MHL and OTG...and it seems you don't have probemlms with it on your i777.
On the contrary, I can't seem to make it work....When I plug a mouse, keybord or flash memory....NOTHING happens.
I already searched a lot....some people say it depends on the kernel (mine is Siyah 5.5.1)...some say it depends on the ROM (mine is AOKP 7.3)....I don't know which answer is correct......or maybe my OTG cable is faulty????.......
Please if you know something else that I can do to enable or anything....let me know!
Thanks in advance!
I believe you misunderstood, I explained you can use mhl and bluetooth mouse and or keyboard @ the same time. However that's not technically using MHL and otg cable.

What is this accessory?

Hey guys,
This came with my Rarz XT910 when I bought it in Argentina and I was wondering what its for? It just seems to plug in to the micro usb and hdmi ports and on the other end it has the same ports. Don't really see its necessity.
Anyone else has it and know what it does?

Never mind. I found out it's a webtop adapter. I found it on youtube and also noticed that it's not useful anymore since the ICS update.

thunderbolt to jvc hd tv

how do i hook up my thunderbolt to my JVC MODEL LT-40A32 40inch TV
I'm not completely sure but I don't think the thunderbolt contains the necessary hardware or software to hook directly to a TV. Never tried it personally but if you're just trying to do like a usb connection that may work but hdmi mirroring is a no go.
