Okay, I've had some trouble in the past selecting USB OTG cables. I have 4 now. One for my old Galaxy Victory that I no longer have, one for my Nexus 10 I sold, one for my PadFone X, and one for my HTC m7 that works w/ the Z3 and Shield Tab. Are USB Y cables as finicky? Does anybody reccommend a particular one?
These have been reported to work on the nvidia geforce shield tablet forums:

Nice, I purchased both of those blind without any idea they were the right ones, I guess I will have some spares when they arrive.
I didn't even think about it too much, I've had a blessed existence when it comes to buying this stuff without any prior confirmation that it works (first S2 video on YouTube demonstrating USB OTG was mine).
would they work in combination with the ethernet adapter?

That's specifically why Nvidia added this functionality, so that much at least should be a given.

Pretty much anyone of those usb to ethernet adapters you find should work. I've tried with 2 of those MIC el cheapo adapters, works fine.
Thanks much appreciated
Of the ones I got, this one turned up first, works fine (although price has risen since I grabbed them).
Note that the charging input needs to be plugged in before the cable is plugged into the tablet.
I have trouble to find a store that ships those to Germany.
Amazon.de has one that looks identical, but pictures in webstores...
Also the description says it won't work simultaneously. But maybe that's just for your average phone...

It doesn't charge the tablet. Just powers the connected device to save battery . That's how OTG works.

"Please note that the extra power goes into the peripheral device, not into the android device itself."
This is noted in the products description. I'd like to know what cable I would need to get to charge the nVidia Shield and also allow the use of a USB Ethernet adapter.

No, Nvidia's implementation charges the tablet. That is the express purpose of Nvidia's addition, to allow simultaneous charging of the tablet while streaming over ethernet.
Please bear in mind I am actually using such a cable myself, and have confirmed the tablet charges used this way.

Any particular order I should be plugging it in? I don't charge using that cable
Edit: nvm I see. I got another one. *buy* Hopefully this one works. Mine doesn't.
I am a little bit confused, too.
1. Does this feature just works with Android 5 or also with 4.4.2?
2. Does this only work for ethernet adapters?
3. Does this only work in console mode? (would be strange)
I have this one from German amazon.de and tried it on 4.4.2 with a USB stick and a wireless 360 controller adapter. (non-console mode)
Either it charges the tablet or it recognizes the peripheral device, never both.
So is this a problem of the OS version, or of the used peripheral device, or of the OTG-Y cable?

I've searched on the flyer forum quite extensively, and there's talk of HDMI cables and so on, but nothing about HDMI working on the latest HC OTA.
Has anyone tried this out yet? If so, has it worked for you?
In my experience (tried with two TV's) nothing is coming up on the TV.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.
Works fine on HC, as always the MHL box is required to interface and the box requires external USB power.

HDMI on Honeycomb works fine for me too and no annoying task bar when watching a show. Now if they could only do the same for the apps.

Could you tell me what Micro USB power adapter you use? I don't have any and need to buy one but I wasn't sure if there was a specific/minimal power output I should look for.

Doesn't seem to matter. I've used probably 6 or 7 different power adapters with no problem and also powered it from my PC usb port. As long as it supplies 5v @ at least 500 ma, the same as a standard USB , it should be fine. My favorite is a 4 port 2amp wall wart I got for $5 at a "5 Below" discount store.
So I recently purchased this MicroUSB adapter for my Galaxy note. It works perfect most of the time but sometimes have random HDMI signal loss when messing around with the device. Many other people have experienced this with other MHL adapters with other devices, so I figured it could just be the software. Overall the whole experience isnt as smooth as I assumed(lag?).
Does anyone know how to just render graphics through HDMI and not on the Note Display?
I bought one:
A little cheaper and works great, very few issues with the signal drop out...
As far as i know - it only works in mirror mode - whats on the Note is on the TV.
Apparently this HDMI cable charges the phone while it's in use.

Yes, but you must connect a charger/power source to it to work, kinda like a power injector. Still accomplishes the goal, you obviously are getting no juice from your TV or monitor.
I use THIS by Menotec. So far, about 20 movies, no signal drops yet.

TVs that support MHL can power and recharge devices through the HDMI port. It's the best part about Mobile High-definition Link. My guess is that product isn't really MHL.

Then perhaps this is a convience feature for TVs that do not fully support MHL and will accept the HDMI signal but not passing power downstream. One way to find out, someone has to test this theory.
Anyone with a Samsung UN55D8000 or UN55D6300 TV? I know those have MHL support. Unfortunately, I have the prior year's model.

It says here you need adequate power to drive the adapter. Maybe while using your device, you drained some power. Also maybe the AWG on your cable had something to do with it too.

The power point is used to power the connected devices and doesn't power/charge the tablet.
Plus it's only powerful enough to power USB devices, it will not power 2.5 " HDD's for example.

Did you order one of these? If not, I'm curious as to where your getting the specs from. I'm hoping your wrong of course, lol. My external 2.5" HDD runs perfectly with 500ma, so if I had my 2100ma USB wall wort powering this adapter, I would assume I would get 500ma (if the power is being limited) or more out of the 2 usb ports. Unless Samsung is planning on selling an overpriced breakout box, I don't understand why they would cripple such a nice tablet with this one port for everything crap.

I ordered the 1 port version, not the 2 ports version mentioned above.
It's true the tablet can power 2.5 HDD's when connected to any/most OTG cables, but I also wanted to use it with a phone (which needs the HDD to be connected to a power source).
After I sent the 1 port version back, I looked at buying the 2 port version, but after reading the small print, I found out the tablet couldn't be powered/charged, the power point was used to power the connected devices.
Two examples of the 2 ports version I looked at:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Micro-Adapter-Cable-Galaxy-EXCITES/dp/B00J2QID16/ref=sr_1_29?ie=UTF8&qid=1402734708&sr=8-29&keywords=otg+cable

The USB Power Port only supplies extra power to the dual OTG ports. It will not charge your mobile phone or tablet.

The 2 port version, obviously will work when connecting 2 devices at once, but the power point, won't be any use, as the tablet will already be powering the devices.

It does not charge the tablet. It does supply power to the 2 usb ports even when disconnected from the tablet. It is an inexpensive alternative to the Samsung otg to usb adapter I purchased for $19.99.
Hopefully Samsung or some other company comes out with an adapter that can charge the tablet and has usb and hdmi ports.

here u go guys...meant to post this almost a week ago when i saw the topic. i ordered one for my tab pro 8.4 lte (should work for every variant though) & it works great...u can use hdmi (takes the regular full sized cable) with a hard drive/flash drive or large sdcard connected simultaneously while charging your device but the charger doesnt even need to be plugged up for hdmi to work. The bonus for me was that i won mine in an auction & only paid $4 for it (normally around $10 as u can see from the link which still isnt bad)...if there is any negative about this thing its all the weight/stress resting on that lil micro usb connection which means it basically needs to be placed perfectly flat. They also have a dock version which should solve that issue for around $20 which i plan to order & test at some point...hope this helps other users out with your decision

yep...this DEFINITELY works simultaneously.

Great, thank you very much.
And you're sure, that HDMI and USB-OTG and Tablet-Charging works at the same time? Thus, I'll be able to play a video from an external harddisk to my TV over HDMI out.
I have an atrix dock from Motorola. Been using it for a raspberry pi project but since it runs HDMI and keyboard through two separate connections I think it'd be a great match for the tablet!
Anyone tried it? I'll be ordering an HDMI adapter next week to try it myself.
Sent from my SHIELD Tablet using XDA Free mobile app
bought a mini hdmi to hdmi adapter!
aaaand it works!!!!
I tried using my micro USB extension cable and not surprisingly it charged the tablet but didn't hand over any keyboard or trackpad input. Any suggested usb OTG cables out there? I have never bought one before but I basically need one that is male and female micro usb.
I plan to make some kind of addon case to the dock so that the loose cables sit snug and wont unplug. It would also be awesome if there was some way to make it dual screen or "extended desktop" so that the tablet could be functional instead of just docked.
PLEASE let me know of any tips or suggestions as i'm flying blind in the world of OTG cables!
Thanks

Thanks for any help on the matter!

Hmmm never thought about thus and I have one. So your not getting any response to keyboard or pad or did you fix that already.
Not yet! I think with an otg cable I can get it working, but I don't know which ones work on the tablet. Any pointers?

Were you able to get the trackpad and keyboard working
Bought this otg cable in hopes that the keyboard could get picked up but it doesn't seem to work. Is there a confirmed otg cable that works on the shield?

Idk but I just want to be able to control the shield with the trackpad+ *POSSIBLE USB ON THE GO (OTG) FIX*
Power off your shield, plug in USB OTG cable with a flash drive in it. Power on the shield. Once booted, pull flash drive and use whatever OTG compatible device you wish (mouse, keyboard, micro missile launcher--thanks ThinkGeek!))
ONE CONDITION! This method BREAKS CHARGING UNTIL NEXT REBOOT! (thanks nvidia!)
followed the debloating tutorial posted in the general section and it works like a charm! i'll follow up with photos but I am typing this on my atrix keyboard!

It would be extremely cool if you could make a tutorial video omsure lots of people would benefit
I'll tinker more this weekend and put together a full write up but in summary I got the screen and keyboard running but it will not charge through otg at the same time. Just using a standard otg with an adapter on the regular USB end to make it a micro and another adapter on my micro HDMI cable to fit the mini HDMI on the tablet.

Can't wait to read it
Hey @etruj,
I have shield tablet and atrix lapdock as well. for your OTG workaround, i have one suggestion.
From the picture you post, it looks like you are still on KitKat. I had the same issue in the beginning; hdmi works perfect but usb only charges the tablet.
After Nvidia released the Lolipop, the OTG issue has been solved automatically. It was just plug and play, and after 5.0, i didnt have any problems using my tablet with full compatibility (keyboard, touch pad and hdmi)
Maybe asking for too much: only missing thing is two finger scroll on the touch pad LOL
--
Long story short, updating to Lollipop will just make it work without any workaround!
What USB otg cable do you use? Do you have an Amazon link?

I ordered it thanks! I'll be getting the dual boot on my recalled tablet and start experimenting with different ROMs to see how well they play with this. I'm excited to see how the Ubuntu ROM handles this!

Search this (accessories) forum for "otg cable" or something, there are confirmed working cables and as you found out not all OTG cables will work. Make sure you get an OTG that is confirmed to allow charging as well since this also does.t work with all OTG cables.
I'm trying to connect my Tab S6 (SM-T867V) to my Logitech mouse, but as soon as I connect the OTG cable to the Tab, even before the mouse controller is insterted, I get a notification that says USB connector connected and then it switches to USB connector disconected and just keeps flipping between the two notifications every few seconds seemingly endlessly. I tried the otg cable with my Note 9 (SM-N960U) and it works perfectly fine with my mouse. The Tab and Note prompt me with charging/file transfer when the otg cable is hooked into the Note and connected to the Tab via a usb c cable so that seemed to work fine. The tab also works normally when charging and using a usb c to hdmi adapter, so I don't think it's a port issue. Both devices are on One UI 2.1 and both have USB 3.1 type C 1.0 reversible connectors, so I'm really confused as to why I'm getting this bug. If anyone has a solution, I would greatly appreciate it!
Why not use a hub like a uGreen one ?

My Goodness that is trash! i'm suprised that it works on your Note 9! Mate purchase a uGreen or any decent USB hub! Plus make sure it's got (PD) Power Delivery port!

I didn't think about PD making a difference, but maybe you're right. My usb c to hdmi does support PD, but the power wasn't plugged in when I tried it and it still worked tho ?
But either way, I ended up purchasing a bluetooth mouse instead just because it's more useful to have one for my tablet rather than unplugging my laptop's every time I take the tab somewhere. I will keep this in mind for if I need to add more accessories later, so thanks for the info.

Yep i'm using a Microsoft Bluetooth Arc Bluetrack mouse + Keychron K1 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard, and a uGreen hub Awesome for out and about setup! Mate if you spend some good cash from the get go you wont have issues down the road. Well that's how i see it!
