I've looked around and haven't found anything that seems to do what I am looking for.
I have a Nexus 4 and the lack of USB OTG is quite depressing, I want a Bluetooth hub to which I can connect a USB keyboard and mouse, I need the Slimport for HDMI out so I can use my phone like a computer with an HDMI cable.
Are there any products out there that connect to a phone via Bluetooth and have multiple USB port host functionality?

Did you find any Bluetooth USB hub? Can a WiFi USB hub solve your problem?

Hi,
I hear that the usb chip in galaxy s supports otg. Is that how sound is implemented in the galaxy docks? I heard sound goes out via usb and one has to switch it via some android app. So is the galaxy dock housing a usb sound card? Could someone with a dock check what the dmesg messages are?
I'd like to play with OTG support, and it would be easier if the dock already does it. Does USB OTG allow charging(maybe with a custom usb cable, assuming usb gadgets get their power from usb hub)?
I alsowander weather. That is possible

Don't understand why nobody is interested in this.

Still no luck.so sad
If you use a usb wireless mouse/keyboard do you need an externally powered hub. The keyboard/mouse is battery powered, so wouldn't you just need a micro to full usb adapter? Any answers would be appreciated
Edit: would there be any other issues (driver, etc.)
You need a Y-cable and to provide power for USB devices on WebOS in USB host mode. This video pretty much shows it all:

Are you looking to use a keyboard that has a wifi or ir dongle? I just tried a mk320 after powering the dongle with a powered usb hub, y connection usb and some usb gender changers. Nope, don't work (doesn't work for my hdtv, which supports usb keyboards either).
It's sorta a moot question anyways since you need a plug for the hub, isn't it?
I got the hp bt keyboard and that works fine, and is small enough to lug around, and has support for cards on the screen as well as Just Type.

Wiki made it sound like the USB host feature that is available in ICS, flash drives, keyboards, mouse and such..
its a cool feature that allows a usb-phone connectivity. in simple we may plug and use pendrive, ext hdd with our phone, and access the files in those drives.....

Short answer.. Yes
Lapdock and hd hubs have usb ports already configured.
You can also make your own adapter by purchasing a usb otg cable and modifying a generic usb hub. The otg protocol needs to have 5v returned from the hub to the phone.
There are a couple of forum posts related to that.

that's of course possible ; atrix is a great gadget and capable of many things .
here we go:
1. first get a USB OTG adaptor cable.
2. make your 5v electric-powered USB hub ready.
3. make your USB cable ready (usually USB hub is good for mini USB cable; therefore, you need to obtain also micro to mini USB adaptor too.)
everything is ready now.
4. connect USB hub to power.
5. connect your USB cable to USB hub.
6. connect your USB OTG to your atrix.
you are all set-up.
here we continue...
connect your keyborad, mouse, usb flash, etc. to the USB hub. Voilaaaaaa mouse cursor and the keyboard as well as the usb flash are all visible on Atrix.
Have fun and enjoy it...
In case you wish, search for youtube for "Atrix OTG support"; you will come across many vidoes that verify what I just briefed above..
on top of all, get a neptop.apk and connect to the HD TV via HDMI cable and taste the ultimate pleasure of WEBTOP

Yeppppp, u r right about the clicks.
I am not sure at the moment nor can I verify where I see the USB as I am not at my home desk now, but if I am not mistaken it presents itself or you may find it under "files". Should you have not stock "files" app, then refer to "usbdisk..." folders under "mnt".
My regards,
Till yesterday there was a schematic, where did it go? :S

is this necessary to use usb hub cant we directly connect 1 tb hd via otg cable?? I searched the whole internet but cant find any guide reagarding atrix otg... Is otg working on atrix cm7??
WOW!
I just got it working in a Custom Blur-based Rom ([ROM][GB] NOTTACHTRIX 4G (v1.9.0) Updated Mar 11 2013).
I used a Power charger connected to a Innobo (average quality) USB hub. Then I connected a mouse and a USB memory to the hub plus the Atrix (via OTG cable).
The phone recognized the USB memory without any problem and the mouse works really fine.
I have´n´t tried a keyboard yet, but I guess It will work as well.
Regards. :good:

I was wondering how do you go around to surf the internet on your big screen tv and also use an external usb mouse/keyboard?
I would need a "Micro USB Host Mode Cable" to hook the mouse/keyboard to the phone AND I also have to use a "MHL Adapter Micro USB To HDMI Converter" to see the phone in the tv and both use the one and only usb micro from the phone... Is anyone using a usb hub with usb micro to usb micro connections? Has anyone tried to use a regular usb hub to connect more than one usb device? Do you need to be rooted to do this?
I guess one option is to find a bluetooth keyboard/mouse but that seems to be expensive...
Thanks!
I know that most people us the MHL adapter for hdmi and bluetooth for keyboard and mouse.
Is there a list anywhere as far as which bluetooth mouse/keyboard works fine? I hate to go that route since I will be using the phone this way at both home and work. I dont really want to be hauling the keyboard/mouse back and forth. At least if I could connect using the usb I could use bluetooth on one place and usb in the other....
Anyway, if you can point me out to where there is a list I will appreciate it...
I still like to hear if anyone is doing this just using usb...
Anyone knows a list of proven bluetooth keyboards/mouse?
Guess not.
Check out this thread

I bought this keyboard and mouse and it works great. You can buy it for $44 shipped (they will accept your offer).
Multi-touch is a no go, but it is still pretty slick.

I've got a new MHL cable and a USB OTG cable in the hope I could plug my MHL into the SGS3, use a powered USB hub connected to the Micro USB(as this requires independent power) on the MHL and then connect a keyboard and mouse into the USB hub, then connect the HDMI to the TV.
For me it doesn't work. I thought this was the whole reason they changed the MHL cable to the new type. Can anyone else confirm?

I dont think Hub will work on the phone, I am not sure....
Anyway GS2 MHL no longer will work on SGS3, Samsung has released seperate MHL for SGS3, which are available in the Market,
I bought it and tested, working fine for me...

i am planning to get the MHL for S3, if i connect it to the TV, are usb drivers needed in order for it to function properly?
thanks in advance

Afaik the S3's MHL-Adapter is self-powered and does no longer rely on an external power source to operate. (Hooray!)

No, that's a pure HDMI adapter and thus Plug&Pray
Make sure to get a MHL adapter for the S3, the adapters for the S2 and other devices are not compatible to the new pin layout.
