Hello. I have xperia arc s. I know that I can use usbotg from my phone. Can I use a gamepad or keyboard and charge my phone from single usb port at the same time?
Sorry
From what I have read, you cannot charge your phone and use OTG at the same time unless your device has separate ports for charging and USB. I could be wrong though

Hi. i just want to share my work with you my firends. I made dock station and i was able to get OTG MODE AND CHARGING AT THE SAME TIME for SONY XPERIA S LT26i , but XDA USER GregórioAxiaMagno get it tested and working on XPERIA MINI st15i. Thats mean you can do your own almost for nothing, few cables + 100k resistor thats it.
Enjoy!

Yeah!
As said by our fella, sonic_boom :highfive:, we can easily mod a OTG cable, or even mod any normal cable/adapter, to allow OTG and battery charge, at the same time, in our little lovely paunchy phones :victory:.
On the sonic_boom's site you can find clear and simply diagrams to the goal.
Also you can find my test at youtube channel - and other things more :laugh:
So if you think that the LiveDock, even with a nice design, can be just an expensive plate, you have now one more argument haha.
The resistor is easy to find... in fact, all the materials are cheap and easy to find. In my case for example, I'm a geek so I have a lot of old oficial cables and some equipments, the only thing off my collection is the resistor.
My video here.
The only thing what can damage your phone is if you use power more than 5v 1000mA (genius), or maybe connect the wrong pins (genius x 2, because everything is well explained), I mean, if (isTrollTin || isMorePowerThanTheCorrect) { yourPhone = :angel: ; }.
It is worth is very simple!
EDIT: BTW if you have ICS at your mini and maybe OTG isn't working, is just install the BusyBox by Stephen (Stericson) and done! To mount one or more data travelers I used [root] StickMount by Chainfire

LOL i use 5V and 3A (3000mA) charger , working perfect
someone have to be big troll to brick phone using my diagrams correctly

LOL xD, pretty nice so. I'm a noob that need an charge like this. BTW just curious, you don't get problem with your touch screen while with this energy?

Why? Connect your charger then check command DMESG. Connect USB charging from computer then check same command. Then connect 5V 3amps charger and do the same thing. Android will decide how much power can take while charging. Phone is charging slower when you use computer I AM not sure but I think max is 500mA from AC charger you can get 1500 mA but iam not 100% sure

Problem. USB host mode RESET on "fully charged"
Hello guys!
I have such a OTG+Charging solution for me and it works like a charm (on cm10, sony ericsson mini pro sk17i - see freexperia). Thanks to sonic boom for the comprehensive howto!
The OTG-USB is connected to a USB hub (that powers my devices and charges the phone!) and a usb-ethernet connected to it for network access.
It works perfectly, but...
...when the phone is "fully charged", it does something to its usb connection (reinitalizing it, I guess) and the ethernet is lost. That would not be much of a problem, but the phone resets the usb connection roughly every 2 to 3 minutes once it's fully charged.
As long as it's charging: No problem whatsoever.
Do you know that problem and what can I do?
So far I have found the kernel-switches in the filessystem (proc or sys, dont remember) to influence host-mode and charging beahviour and have starting playing around with them, but to no avail: Either no network or no charging.
And, as soon as the phone goes to stand-by, the charging is resumed and the usb-host connection subsequently dropped.
I am very grateful for any suggestions as this problem prevents me from having a nice little server running on my phone with performance better than a raspberry pi! (Wifi is hardly an option: I have around 14 Wifi Networks in my surrounding that kill any decent latency).
Thank you for your help in advance!

please explain to me why that happen to me !!??
I had this issue with my xperia arc before. You will have to send it back for repairs. Its a faulty board or connection within phone not cable like people say. When i connected my charger the screen would do stuff on its own like open messages and type stuff :S
Hi folks!
Is there a way to charge the xperia tablet s with the pc or with an usb extension cable? The tablet refuses to charge either way, with a notification saying to connect to the 'provided' usb/powerpoint adapter to charge. Did a bit of googling and this was the only relevant thread that popped up, for the sony tablet s =/
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
btw, the tablet isn't rooted

To charge the tablet using a PC, the PC's USB port must be specified as being a charging port which can provide the necessary charging amperes. Standard USB ports cannot provide enough amperage to charge the tablet.

Hi!
Some newer laptops have a dedicated charging usb slot mark with a lightning icon.
My laptop (ASUS K55VM) has it, provided the driver for usb charging is installed (ex: ASUS USB Charger Plus 2.0.8)
I am not sure with Desktop PCs.
Hey Guys!
I wanted to know which one will eat more and quicker battery life:
1.wired usb controller
or
2.bluetooth controller
android version: 4.3
thanks for your answers!
Hey sorry to be such a bummer but which app are you using to use ur phone as a controller. My opinion on your question is that bluetooth wd logically thinking here, bluetooth wd use more power. As a usb cable plugged in your phone wd or shd be charging at the same time. If u finding it difficult to tell maybe the usb port is not pushing out sufficient charge power. I wd then maybe plug into a normal phone charger and use bluetooth. I find if I use a bluetooth controller eg androg I put my phone in flight mode and then turn bluetooth on and my battery lasts longer because the phone is not continously searching for network when signal is low. But via usb ur shd be charging and via bluetooth no wires connected ur obviously using power. And wireless devices that communicate with each other tend to use power at a faster rate. If using as game controller over bluetooth maybe disable the vibrate function if it has one. Thats my personal opinion so if u dont mind cables then usb the phone... I dont mind bt via my s3 its convenient and its not like im gna play nonstop for hours on end. But id rather have a charged ohone shd I nd to up and leave all of a sudden... best of luck... whats the usb controller app?

I dun think usb wired controller chargers ur phone... Like if u plug an external hard disk to ur phone thru a converter plug, the external hard disk will not charge ur fone.
