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

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!

Can someone explain to me, why I use a long USB cable can not charge the phone while I was busy ben.Bij ics was not because he did just load.
i don't understand your question.. can you perhaps elaborate more on your situation that way we can also give you a more detailed solution?
EDIT:
If you mean: your cable is not working because it's not genuine, then i highly suggest you use the original Samsung cable.. as not to put your device at risk
I hope this helps

use only genuine cable bro
Use any non-cheapskate cable and it will work well.
All microUsb cables are genuine (since it's an open standard) but must ones are of doubtable quality and not capable of powering more than maybe 0.2Amp (the phone uses 1 Amp on wall charger)

Hello everyone, Im not sure if this topic has been discuss in detail or not, but I have managed to connect a spare 500gb hard drive to my note 3. Here is everything I used.
I upgraded my laptop to a Samsung 250gb SSD, which provided me with a spare HDD:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-MZ-7T...=1387366438&sr=8-2&keywords=samsung+250gb+ssd
It comes with a cable already in it (USB 2.0) so this next item is optional, A Apricorn USB 3.0 Transger cable:
http://www.amazon.com/Apricorn-Note...qid=1387366498&sr=8-1&keywords=apricorn+clone
And lastly, it needs to connect to the phone, so I picked up this USB 3.0 OTG cable:
http://www.amazon.com/White-Color-M...7366411&sr=8-3&keywords=galaxy+note+3+usb+otg
Now here is the steps I took.
Since my HDD still had stuff on it, and it was partitioned, I had to wipe it clean. I formatted the HDD on my computer first. I formatted it to exfat. Maybe another way will work but I'm not testing it. I then hooked up all the wires accordingly and plugged it into my phone. The N3 did not recognize the file format of the HDD so I re-formatted it to the N3 standard. After that, it is as simple as plug and play. I was even able to use the stock My Files app.
Note*** obviously the SSD is not a requirement, unfortunately, I am unable to test it as it has been in my computer for several months and I dont want to risk corrupting anything. It may work with the SSD as well, although I doubt it will reach the speeds it can on a computer.
I am not rooted and did not have to download anything extra for it.

Cool. But curious as to why you would need a 500G HDD attached to the N3

This. We were using a variant setup, pushing the content via DLNA to our Xbox 360 (connected to a good ole 'dumb' tube TV). Quite enjoyable.
Damn I didnt even know you could do this
Has anyone found a way to pass through power with a splitter or something so while connecting the USB OTG cable you could still run the phone off of power without depleting the battery? I asked this same question in the Note 8 forum but no one found a way.

what format was the hdd in exFAT or NTFS ?
I use the OTG dongle to hook up my 1TB drive and play movies and TV shows directly from the drive.
(Also works with the tablet)
I formatted it to exfat. I have a 1tb external also. But it's already formatted to ntfs. And it's full so I'm not going to risk losing a thing on it.

Because it's not supposed to work that way... The OTG cable puts your device in "host" mode... so it will use the phones power to run your HDD and kill the ability to charge... there are ways to get power to the HDD so you don't drain your device battery as much but the charging thing is a native function of OTG switching.
This is what i've been using... it has HDMI out ... microUSB 5v input to run the HDD... USB port for HDD or any other USB device... (using a wireless keyboard on it right now)... and card reader ports...
You can fake this thing into trying to charge the phone by plugging in the micro USB connection first and THEN plugging the hub into the phone with the microUSB power already on... then you see the charge notification in the status bar but it still doesn't charge the device... even with the samsung 2amp charger as a power supply... the battery still drains
What about wireless charging? I Don't have a wireless charger or battery cover to test this. But this may work

That actually is a good idea to try. I'm less optimistic about that as my previous experience with wireless charging has shown that it is less efficient t getting current to the phone as a wired connection and there are some things done on your phone that even when plugged to a 2A wired connection will still drain the battery.
What about the Smart dock? With 2 USB ports an HDMI and power in?

That's the problem I'm running into... I'm running the HDMI/MHL/OTG hub... I got the HDMI out to my flat screen... OTG to a wireless keyboard... bluetooth mouse... When it all hooks up properly (you have to plug everything in the right order) the Note 3 screen shuts off and it runs as a proper CPU with output to the flat screen...but even with the samsung 2 amp charger plugged in I still lose about 1% battery every 5 minutes... better than running without the charger but that s$#t can't be good for the battery running that hard and charging at the same time AND losing the battle.
damn after almost 3years he the usb port died on me. but i get why cause he must have fall like 5time off my bed on the ground with the charging cable in it. so it fell on the charger port. but unitil today it stoped working, it charges but doent charge. it stays at 11% afeter 2h i got 12% i turned back to web os for charging.

Try another USB cable they often break. If that doesn't work you can always get a Touchstone and the WiFi file transfer app. That should allow you to keep using the tablet like normal.
The usual HP TouchPad battery drain issues:
-If your battery is heavily drained, then you may need to leave it charging for a full day.
-When the battery is fully drained it can take the TP a longtime to reach even the lowest battery level.
-The USB cable that comes with the HP TP is often defective and breaks easily. Try using another USB cable if possible.
-The USB cable does not transfer enough power to effectively charge the tablet. You must use the wall plug when charging the HP TouchPad.
-To be safe don't let your HP TouchPad run out of Batteries ever! Install one of these free apps!
-You can add an automatic shutdown Rule by doing the following.
-AutomateIt, Play Store Link- What to do: New Rule/Trigger Battery level(Below 20%)/Action/Shutdown//save. Or
-Llama, Play Store Link- Location Profiles:Event tab choose + (at the bottom of the screen) Addcondition (battery Level Below 20%) Actions (turn off phone)

So I was bending over to pull an electrical cord out of the socket behind my entertainment unit, and I used my touchpad (in a case) to support my weight, I didn't realise that I had it cable side down, well just as I grabbed the power cord the usb cable gave way and I thought I had broken my touchpad too.
Anyway, I tried a new cable and it worked fine, these tablets may not be pretty, but they sure are tough.
Hope you have some luck in getting it fixed.

its already empty turned it off with 18% i got 5% battery in like 5hours i think.
then i was like **** that i turn it off.
i use airdroid. cause its anoying to go in recovery to go in usb massa storage. mtp doesnt do **** op ICS
but yeah. maybe i will buy the charger. i like android tablet. but saw the asus transformer t100 tablet with dock keyboard windows 8.1 tablet. 350€ 32gb. but more interested in the 380€ 64gb.
but yeah damn 380€ much but its good for studies and things full windows. but still im gonna want my android tablet.
so i think i will buy one day the charger. but euh, if my battery is empty does touchstone charge it from dead? other wise im ****ed...
Had some problem but solved
Hi reggiexp,
I had the same issue of touchpad not charging. But i used my Nokia lumia charger plugged into TP when it is dead throughout the night and found it 48% charged in the morning after i switched on. When i reconnected the tp when it was on it came to full charge in an hour. Try this.
Please ignore the warning that the USB cable is not genuine which comes when you connect different USB cable.
Hope it helps!
Thought I would post this just in case anyone else is looking for a solution here. Purchased this off Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003ES5ZSW/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Doesn't cause pop any warnings while charging. Still using the plug that was sent with the touchpad and it is working better than the other one. Feels a little more secure while plugged in.
I'm a big fan of the touchstone.
However I sort of have the opposite problem as both of my Touchstone chargers have quite working. Each at different times. My suspicion is they suffered the same faulty cable fate. Unfortunately I won't be purchasing another as they are to expensive to replace at this point.
my touchpad colects dust now. its i think at 70% battery if not more i turned it of. and put it in a drawer Xd
sucks but yeah. i had a great time with it. was realy a BANG FOR THE BUCK, bust buy i ever made

Just a thought, but if you don't plan on using your Touchpad anymore, you could maybe consider donating it to a developer interested in toying with one? To broaden the support base of those still running this thing lol.
Or wait, so is the USB port dead or not? I thought an earlier post made it seem like it wasn't. Sorry if I misread lol.

Not dead just a miss connection cause it charges but slow. Toke me almost a week to fully charge it.
Tried different usb cables. Nothing helped.
Think it needs a new usb connector. But i dont use it. And didnt even try to take it apart. Im way to laxy its a grest tablet. Wantrd to give it to my mom but if it doesnt charge well my mom wont have any use for it.
Found a usb board 16euro +10euro sending. But yeah is it worth it... Will try to take my touchpad apart to see if its realy broken. And maybe repair it so my mom has a tablet again.

please help me, can i flash the **** out of him or anything that could help??
Are you using the Samsung charger and cable? I experienced similar issues using those cables, and the solution was...buying another USB charger.
Samsung cables are of very low quality, they work for like 6 months and then they stop working...In my case, I bought a USB charger and a micro USB cable, not from Samsung of course, and the problem solved. In fact, it charged even better than before.
So you should waste some money, I think:laugh:

First, download this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...dium=organic&utm_term=galaxy+charging+current
And while charging, look at the value in the 'avg' line:
if its below 900 when using 1A charger, than it might be a problem in device's usb port (considering the charger and cable to be ok)- the soldering seldom gets loose over time, so you should take it to lab check.
If the value is above 900, that I suggest you to consider replacing your rom.

First- the app isn't 100% accurate, so you should check it several times with different chargers/cables and electricity ports. if you have another s3 to compare it to, do it. If the result is the same- so you should take it to a lab check

you could also try another kernel - Boeffla Kernel.
It allows you to set charging value higher then usual (but be careful....)

Hello XDA beasts and XDA leechers!!
Today I am breaking my leecher's bounds by writing my first unique How-To for Nexus 6P (might work on every device with OTG support and Marshmallow).
This guide is done using USB 2.0 hub and wall charger and a USB 3.0 Type-C adapter I already had.
If you are a electricity engineer please pay attention and help me moving this glitch to the next level!
I am not responsible if you burn your smartphone or home, we're talking about low electricity through I do not think there's a danger.
Okay, things you'll need:
x1 Scissors to cut wires
x1 Electrical tape to insulate the wires you connect
x1 Lighter to remove the plastic from the wires
x1 OTG Cable (Type-C to female USB)
x1 simple USB 2.0 Hub
With simple I mean the following: it just worked with my Chinese cheap non-wall-powered one, I do not know more information how
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
x1 USB male cable
Will be needed for its +/- wires (If you have a charger you are not using, or a USB mouse, take your s)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
x1 USB 2.0 keyboard or mouse for test
x1 USB Wall Charger with high Amber output
2A will be cool I guess but not sure yet, I am using it with 0.6A wall charger at the moment and I am getting 0.1A on the phone (I can see it using an application named "Ampere", used for things like this, battery related) because a keyboard and a mouse are getting the rest (0.5A i guess)!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(Optimal) x1 ON/OFF switcher
see the attachment photo on this topic, you can find one easily on a old toy or something
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
x1 Nexus 6P (your phone)
Here is the guide, if it is unclear what to do, I also give to you a screenshot of the final thing/hack:
(When I am saying connect the wires, I also mean tape the wires, so if you follow step by step the guide, use tape right when you connect)
Start of HowTo
1.1. Cut the "connect-to-otg" USB cable from the hub, you are about to reconnect it so keep that in mind.
1.2. Cut the USB cable and keep the USB male with its wires, we will use ONLY the black and the red (+/-) wires and this cable is going to charge our phone and power the whole hub.
1.3. Revert the step you've done at step 1 by connecting back the wires and also connect on red and black wires the red and black of the USB male cable of step 1.2.
(Almost ready, you now have a "complicated" cable that have 3 endings 2 of them are USB 2.0 and the other one is connected to the USB Hub)
1.4. Connect the black wire to the one side of the ON/OFF switch and the red wire to the other.
End of HowTo
You are ready, here's a example of how to make it work:
2.1. Connect USB of step 1.2. to the wall charger
2.2. Connect the other USB to the phone through OTG cable
2.3. Power ON the ON/OFF switch and turn it OFF
Glitch is done !!!
2.4. Connect a USB Device on the HUB, it should work, if not move to the next step
2.5. Repeat the step 2.3. once.
Keep in mind that your USB Hub still works without plugging it to the wall charger, but if you also want charging you are going to connect to the charger the USB obliviously, and ON-OFF that tricky switch we added.
If you know more about electricity, let us please know if this is safe for our phone, I think the only downside is the overusage of phone's battery, but let us know, is this hack dangerous for the hardware?
Have a nice day,
George.
Here is what you are about to create, a wall charger powered HUB with a switcher that 'touches'/connects the +/-, sounds dangerous right?
It works through!
Does sound a little dangerous, wouldn't it be less so using electrical tape instead?

True hahah, let me edit the topic, that is a must, I also used it but forgot to mention it.
(I am currently using my Nexus 6P as a computer with this mod (mouse, keyboard and "usb soundcard") and the help of a chromecast, battery is still going down even through it is charging, using a USB 2.0 port of my rooter, the metter of Ampere shows 1750mAh (1.75A) ... Searching for a way to set phone's brightness to 0, absolutely zero, to get the advantage of the amoled screen while still keeping the touchscreen).
Have a nice day!
EDIT:
Here is some information for electricians, using the demonstration of this guide, you can also see the first post on this topic for a screenshot.
1. My wall charger: 600mAh, 5V
2. My Nexus 6P gets about 150-200mAh charging power, according to Ampere application for Android.
3. As I can see/guess the USB devices are getting powered by both smartphone and charger, not sure through because of limited knowledge about electricity and simple circuits.
4. This trick is glitching the Android by making it using MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) while charging, so it happens to reveal that it is POSSIBLE to charge and be in host mode, I am not sure through if it is a placebo and in reality the phone is actually charging only when no key is pressed of keyboard or mouse and MTP goes to standby mode, not sure if what I just said exists in MTP.

Worth the bump,
I found a way to tweak the creation of this guide, clearly SPLITTING the charging of the phone and the powering of the usb devices!
Soon I will update the topic making it the best case scenario guide for "USB Host Mode and Charging on Nexus 6P, while casting to a Chromecast".
Also let me inform you that you are about to charge your phone with a simple/classic USB wall charger of 2.0A electricity while having it connected on a chromecast (via wifi) and a DIY self-powered USB HUB. You have a portable pc in your pocket indeed!
(The trick was to create a stand with a case fan (16V) to cool down that heat monster snapdragon 810 and let the phone charge instead of losing energy even while charging.)
More info soon, there are still cool and kinda safe things to do with your "old" device ^_^,
Have a nice day, George.
