Hello everyone !
I would like to know if it's possible to use OTG and to charge the phone AT THE SAME TIME ?
Maybe with a specific cable, or a docking station ?

With magnetic cable,why not?
So it's possible to use the magnetic cable to charge the phone and to use the otg cable at the same time ?

Thanks for the answer.
Do you use it "a lot" ? No problem with that (no disconnection, etc.) ?
Been using it regularly but not with a dock or magnetic charging cable.. using it on an external battery pack that connects on the same dock port so it is still the same.
I can safely say that it does not give any problems with OTG at the same time..
It is possible to charge via an OTG cable, but the cable have provision for this thing exactly. There are guides on the internet, google it, i'm sure you will find what you are looking for
Just to confirm that I can charge the phone with the magnetic cable and use a USB device at the same time .

Make sure you have the DC charger plugged in, not a USB charger

I think sleeco meant AC charger, but the point is valid. You must make sure that it is providing the correct amount of mah to the MHL adapter. If you are not using the AC charger that came with your phone, you should try that.
i use the ac charge that came with my phone.. how can i know what is th mah that is need ?
check that i made:
when the mhl andapter connect (with ac charge) and the HDMI cable is unplug the wifi is still connec... and dont fall
when i connect the HDMI cable again the wifi goes down
can it be the HDMI cable ?

Could be. There are different HDMI revisions. I'd try to get a newer cable. Or at least try a DIFFERENT HDMI cable. Maybe the one you're trying to use is causing some kind of short - who knows? Unfortunately, I have no idea on how to check the cable version. All I can say is mine works just fine, and WiFi stays connected.
ok.. i will try
i bought the adapter and the cable from ebay... if it make difference...

You can get almost any version of anything off of ebay. So not really a difference. The real question that will make a difference: is your MHL adapter the original Samsung adapter? Some knock-off, or third party version? An MHL adapter someone in China made? What about the HDMI cable? Some third party MHL adapters will work ok (I've tried one that worked just fine, but I didn't like it), and I've heard of others that do weird things. Yours could be one.
ok, i will try others MHL and HDMI...thanks
However, is there any way possible to charge your phone WHILE using the OTG adapter? They both use the 1 micro port on my phone, but I need to find a way to charge the phone while using the OTG adapter.....perhaps a micro USB splitter-type adapter?????
I was actually wondering about this myself, though I don't think a splitter-type cable would work. I'm wondering if the power connection is on separate pins than the data, though...if they don't share space then I'd think it would be possible in some fashion.

A similar problem is showing up regarding using the mhl port to output to hdmi. Though the original information indicated that the power cable was supposed to charge the phone it seems it does not on the first version (super DUMB).
I have read though that the newer version of the mhl port is 10 (I think) pins rather than the 5 of the original. The newer port DOES allow charging while output is in operation.
I suspect this will also allow an OTG cable that charges while in use.
I am not so sure about the mhl idea anymore. Only one port for everything is ok if it has enough pins/bandwidth to have a breakout box that would allow an external usb drive to be read while hdmi is being output to a screen and power is supplied to the phone. As it is now with only one-at-a-time it isn't very inspiring as the phones get closer to the power of laptops.
What would be really neat would be a box with wi-fi, and the output to hdmi and usb ports as well. A wireless breakout box. Then the charger could be over by the phone which is near the user.

I think this thread could solve your problem.
Oh... I found a useful diagram here.
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

thankyou
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)

Yes, if you're on Lollipop. Check the USB OTG Y cable thread.
