If anyone is looking for a cheap micro usb otg host adapter to use to attach usb devices (thanks to DooMLord here), I ordered these from DealExtreme a few weeks ago and they just came in. Worked like a charm to mount a usb stick on my Arc. $2.20 with free shipping, no taxes as they marked it as a gift:

Yeah, found that one too. With that prize, you could purchase a lot of them. In hardware shops, they may cost tens of euros.

Hello all,
Today I was excited to find a cable that I'd ordered last week from Hong Kong on ebay had arrived.
Micro USB MHL to HDMI Cable Adapter HDTV For Samsung Galaxy S2
Well if it works on the S2 then it probably works on the Note. Well I plugged an HDMI cable into my Dell 1920 x 1200 monitor, that cable into the adapter and then a micro USB power cable into the micro USB power socket of the device.
Doesn't work
Hmm. Its a pretty simple device. Well I tried swapping micro USB cables in case it works differently with MHL or non MHL cables. Still does nothing. Damn.
Maybe it requires particular software to drive the video. Well no joy yet. If anyone has some suggestions then I'm happy to hear them. It was pretty cheap. But I wish it worked...
In case you were thinking of getting one of these. Here is the one that I bought.

Are you aware that it needs power? In your case, your device needs to be connected to computer usb (as it said in item description)

I have a similar one to that from China or somewhere and works great, do need to plug in your mains charger for it to work though. Only issue I had was you I needed to screen fit on my telly because it wasn't fitting properly but after I ran that it fit to te screenproperly.
Good news that MHL is working on the note, especially after the news of the Pioneer AppRadio 2.

I wasn't clear enough in what I wrote. I plugged in the micro USB power cable into the devices micro USB power socket just like in that picture, so yes I gave that a go but still didn't work
I bought a Menotek brand adapter off Amazon, and it works great for me. My TV luckily had a USB port (for firmware updates), and it powered the device just fine.
i bought one off ebay and according to the seller it is the original one
it works great
but you need to turn off the data (3g) because it causes disconnects on the lcd
So ICS supports USB gamepads/mice/keyboards which is awesome. The only problem is that the Galaxy Nexus only has one available USB port.
How can I connect a USB device to the gnex and charge it simultaneously?
Powered USB hub.
I see how that could work, however I want as little bulk as possible, and a USB hub would add a lot of clutter.
That got me thinking though.
Would there be any problem with charging and playing using this diagram?

It isn't going to work, since the usb port on a nexus only can do one thing at a time: charging/being a slave (transferring files from a pc) or act as a host (for a keyboard/mouse/gamecontroller). This will not work together until a kernel dev finds/creates a workaround.

Usb OTG supports accessory/charge mode, but the cable has to have the correct id for the usb chip to allow it. I don't think any cables have this enabled as of yet.

This cable won't suffice?

If not, what has to be done to enable this?
Also, does this mean the powered USB hub won't work either?

I have a feeling that even if charging works (and I think it should) it will only charge at 500mA as I doubt OTG will work properly if you enable Fast USB charge. At the very least your battery won't die out quickly I guess, depending on the game's requirements hardware wise.
I'll try it out tonight if I can find my damn OTG cable.
Confirmation: Does not work.
Found my cable, and connected the phone to a powered usb hub. It actually would not charge OR read a thumb drive with stick mount. Both worked seperately, but the OTG is not a multitasker. Sorry.
Has anyone come across a USB OTG adapter that can also be used to charge the Note 10.1? I wouldn't want it to require power, but if there were an optional ability to plug the power cable into the USB adapter, it would allow charging and use of the USB device at the same time...
regards,
/alan

OP, you can charge the GN 10.1 while using OTG cables if you have the special Samsung dock for the GN 10.1, which is expensive and hard to find right now; this special dock has an additional 30 PIN connector in the back into which you can plugh OTG cables.

Where does the charger connect here?
This is just a stand. There is no usb or mhl port here.
That's a shame
Thanks, guys...
I just order the Juiced OTG.
The reviews on Amazon say it works with the Note 10.1 and there are a few YouTube videos of people using it with their Note 10.1. You have to use a micro USB cable and not the Samsung USB cable to charge it.
Oh, I like that. Thanks! Just ordered one from Amazon UK. Looks identical, £1.39 delivered. I have no idea how they can possibly sell it so cheaply but since amazon is underwriting it I guess I can't lose... Amazing!

"Note that only one feature at a time may be active (USB host, Micro-SD, SD, USB data/charge.)"

The best option would be to get a bluetooth keyboard and mouse and allshare. This way you can have the Note plugged while using all the rest. And when you want to use a usb you unplug it and then plug it again. This is what I do. It is quite expensive to get all the above but at least they work.
The Ekit is the identical item of the Juiced USB OTG
Amazon UK sell them here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/eKit-Connection-Compatible-Galaxy-10-1/dp/B006LWAR9U
I've got one out for dispatch.

I have a Sony DK10 LiveDock, which has it's USB port connected to an Aten US421A USB switch, which is connected to a Targus 7 port powered Hub.
As the Targus 7 port hub is independently powered, it'll support any Sony (LT26i) supported device.
And I have some weird stuff connected like a 80GB IDE FAT32 USB enclosed HDD and/or your bog standard WD 320GB USB HDD (FAT32), a DELL U2410 monitor with SDcard reader and a HP 8GB v165w USB flash drive.
So stuff does work, BUT, if you're independently powering this off your Sony microUSB port on your phone you will have to match the power output of the phone with the power requirement of the attached device.
USB2.0 is spec'd at 5V and 5x100mA units.
WD USB HDD requires V5 0.55A to run and we know they're not supported
It is possible(I don't know) that the output of the Sony LT26i MicroUSB is only around ~300mA and thus devices attempting to draw more power will not work. It could be as low as 100mA.
I have a HP 8GB v165w flash drive and that doesn't work directly connected to the Sony (LT26i), but does work when connected through a powered USB hub. So if one knew it's power draw, then one could work out what the Sony (LT26i) is providing.
This may also help with additional information: USB Controller Games (Xperia S)
