Usb, charging and Ethernet at same time? YES - Galaxy Tab S2 Accessories

since i got tablets, i miss the possibility to charge and use usb at the same time. And so,i tried a lot of adapters. On my note 10.1 2014, i tried one, from samsung, that was specialised for the note pro 12.2, sorry,dont know the exact Type,but i bring it,promised.....
Also with my tab s2 9,7Lte (815),i try different ones,but no one work,till i try this one from samsung again......and.....it works perfectly. The TabS2 have a build in ethernet interface (settings, other connections, ethernet). I plug in a ethernet cable,work....... plug in charger.......work......then i connect my IRig UA,got power and it works.......charging not interupted, ethernet still working......and the adapter have two Usb 2.0 Ports and 1 Usb3.0 mini Port (like Note3) for charging, but also works with a micro usb 2.0.........
Thats fantastic......i be absolutely happy with the tab S2.....got root now, amazing power.....great device samsung......
The only prob is, some apps don't support ethernet for internet connections,like chrome and others. There is a tool for xposed, calles fake wifi connection, but Xposed don't work at the moment,about my Rom isn't deodexed......but soon, i think.
Or anyone got another solution for this?

The Name of the Adapter is Samsung ET-UP900 ......
I installed the app Eth0 from playstore, that let the apps think, a 3G connection is running, so, all apps, inkluded playstore are working fine now......
In my company, we have a VPN network, Remote desktop Connections and all the Admin Stuff is working fine...... You can configure the Ethernet Settings automatic, with dhcp or you can set a fixed ip adress and set the subnet and Gateway ......
I tried it with Ethernet, charging, and two USB Ports running a Audio Interface, and an USBStick on the other....perfect....

Hi
I have the Tab S1 running stock kitkat 4.4.2, My windows computer is an HP 20" tablet and it came with an hp usb to ethernet adaptor, after reading this thread i decided to give it a go, and it works great and i did not have to change any setting or install any software and i can browse the net with not problems.
So it looks like non Samsung usb to ethernet adapters can work as well.
John.

Yes, the ethernet adapter is no wonder.......more interesting is that USB and charging work also.....normaly, the usb port on Android tablet is physically so configured, that is can only charge or Power a usb device....(of course a kernel thing also).....and on the Tab S2 work all at the same time........
on Android devices should work every USB to Ethernet Adapter via OTG Cable, or you find a micro usb to ethernet......
On the note 10.1 2014 LTE, i found no adapter, that allows to charge and using usb at the same time, including the Lavalink adapter, that should.....
Gesendet von meinem SM-T815 mit Tapatalk

@john, browsing the net is no problem, but some apps,playstore also, needs to have a WiFi or 3g connection. (Try to download an app in playstore with ethernet) so you need for this apps a tool, that fake them, they have a 3g or WiFi connection. That's not a problem of the adapter, that apps aren't made to run with lan . This problem can be fixed with eth0 app.....

I made my own USB OTG cable and with an 82k resistor on pin 5 of the USB cable it charges and does OTG at the same time. Note however that it also keeps the CPU awake so you need to keep the charger connected, or put a switch/relay in series with the resistor- otherwise the battery only lasts a couple of days.
I've installed my S2 9.7 LTE as a replacement for my car's stereo and its going pretty great so far.

Are you using a (specific) USB hub for all these cables / adapters to connect to you tab 2?

Using as my car stereo is the reason I bought this. What deck are you using. What apps to use for driving, that sorta thing. I'm kinda new to exploring the simplest way to integrate this. I have a magnetic mount so I just throw it on my dash and drive. So far so good but I know it can be better.

There is also adapter called STS-2UE. It's a hub that has 2 x USB ports, Ethernet connection, and it charges the tablet and peripherals in the same time while accessing ethernet and USBs data. It cost around $90 or $100 bucks. On their website lavalink.com you can find a list of supported Samsung tablets. They are a Silver Samsung Partner, plus using this board won't wave your warranty because it doesn't require rooting the tablet. Cheers

Looking around in Aliexpress and haven't found any so far. There seems to be either one or other, charge or otg. Any keywords or any that could be bought in 2019 at Amazon or Aliexpress? Literally I want charging and Internet thru rj45 at the same time to flow to the same micro-usb cable that connects to tablet.

MHL & USB host

Anyone know if it's possible to use MHL in conjunction with a microUSB to USB host adaptor to output to HDMI and access an external USB drive at the same time? That'd make the SGS2 an amazing portable media unit.
No, it is not posible. Its an either/or connection to the micro USB port.
Shame, because as you say that would really be a great thing. MHL consortium are considering a number of improvements to the 2.0 MHL spec, so in future devices this may be a possibility.
So MHL can't be used when I'll plug a USB-Hub?
No, sadly not.
It's a shame - for now I'd prefer micro USB & separate HDMI port so USB can be utilised as well as an external display.
As would I, and a lot of others I suspect.
But you've got 16 GB memory and can copy your stuff to the memory and watch it later via MHL on your Flat? So this is not a big problem, I think

Not that I'm aware of...
I bought one from Ebay and can't really do anything good with it. Display shows briefly for 3-4 seconds on TV then disappears again. Don't know why.....I hope it's not the device itself because I tested 2 phones, they were bought at the same time, but none of them would work correctly....
If by generic you mean a not samsung one or one not dedicated to the SGS2 then i actually use a one, from ebay or someting like that, everything works perfect you just cant forget to plug power to it, and about the not working one, it seems mine gets jammed by gsm signal (i.e. when receiving a call), so from time to time the image disappears in a blink of noise, maybe that is your problem too, try it in airplane mode.
Oh, I think I misread that question - I have actually used a generic one with my SGSII (a prototype from the MHL consortium) and it worked fine!

Uhm no. I've been streaming with WIFI through MHL no problem for MONTHS. Using the Original Samsung MHL connector of course.
I have to put mine in offline mode to be able to use the MHL adapter.....
As for USB-OTG no luck yet.....
On Amazon, Ebay, DealExtrem ... you will find adapters that can do 3 things at a time:
- output HDMI
- let phone work as usb host, so that you can plug kbd, mouse, and external HDD (second wifi card, wired ethernet ...); once you have the usb A plug, just pub a hub
- recharge the phone (what is not possible with the legacy short OTG cable).
+ read memory cards
Such devices are sold as MHL devices. Some MHL devices don't to all that.
Take care. MHLv2 is more complex than MHLv1.

Could you post a link as an example for such a device, that works properly (if you've tested, or you know it works) ?
Thank you
I can post links, but ... I have not tested any of those. And don't know any one personally who tested it.

Monobloc:

I don't like the monobloc version; I fear it's too heavy, and may help breaking the phone plug.
There are all sorts of OTG and MHL cables. I have seen OTG dongles as short as 4cm (monobloc), with small cable (8cm: 4-8€), with long cable (1.5m .... should be 7 feet), pure HDMI (passive cable, no card reader, 8-12€), VGA (including very cheap HDMI to VGA converter, 20-30€ ... including sound output). In some case, you need to buy accessories (extra power supply, extra uUSB cable, extra HDMI cable). Also seen a very cute hybrid card reader: http://dx.com/p/285865 (I love this product design, and I love this URL syntax )
Don't forget that there can be mistakes in item description.
Here I have described how to build an external battery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54036759&postcount=17
On previous phone, I just soldered additional battery to internal one; on my new phone, I will do something more complex, and more flexible.
Loosing power via OTG/MHL is not a fatality. Most phone have an other hidden power input:
généric, that uses the USB plug:
http://www.dx.com/p/reverse-qi-wire...arger-receiver-for-micro-usb-cellphone-312805
TRIPLE CHECK POLARITY; I took the wrong one; have to fold the cable.
So ... even if your OTG/MHL module takes power from your USB, and can not recharge your phone, the specific shell can charge your phone the other way So, you need to build an internal specific module:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UK7PRJ4SiK0
S2 specific back shell, so called receiver:

http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/QI-Wireless-Charger-for-Samsung-Galaxy_821969998.html?s=p
The SGS2 is not designed to accept wireless chargers, so, you have two options:
- solder and take the pins out (cf youtube) (do not solder coild to battery, or you could overcharge the batt, and burn your phone ... I mean, physically set fire)
- find an item that includes back shell + specific battery (exportprive)
Many recent phones have the internal connectors, so you just need to change the back-cover. In this case, the software will be able to know the charger is wireless (as opposed to AC, and USB; advanced battery tools will show those 3 possibilities). I believe the motherboard for my HTC One M8 is designed to have those pins, but I can't find the specific cover yet (maybe in a few months); only found it for M7.

Alternative to dock for OTG and charging?

OK guys, about to order a livedock but wanted to quickly check if there was any other cables available to enable me to charge my phone while using the OTG function.. Seems the whole mobile community is looking for this.. Samsung galaxy S2 users are even worse off because they can't use Hdmi at the same time as OTG! I've looked all over but seems Sony Ericsson is the only company to have made a charge while using otg dock /cable any other ideas from you smart folk? Before I splash out on a livedock??

Sent from my MT15i using xda premium
meh.. after quite a bit more googling I have come to the conclusion that the Livedock is infact the only way to charge the phone while using USB OTG.. I can't quite believe that there isn't simply a Y cable to do this.. (but I havn't been able to find one anywhere)
I have just ordered 2 livedocks from Ebay.. can never have too many right (well.. one for the tv and one for the bedroom)
The plan is to be able to have the phone plugged into the TV HDMI and a self powered USB hub (logitech wireless keyboard and mouse, Game controller + USB hard Drive\thumb drives for movies\music) and also charge the bad boy all at the same time the one next the bed is just for charging and perhaps a USB keyboard for those late night emails. (yea I could use Bluetooth, but these are still expensive and the extra hassle of pairing keyboards and mice to the phone is un-necesary when SE have given us good old fasioned OTG)
still interested if anyone finds out a different way.. I might pull one of mine apart and see if I can reverse engineere to make a simple Y split cable..

In the samsung galaxy s2 this is not an electrical but a software issue. As an experiment turn off your phone. Connect a usb Y cable to a power source and to the phone via the OTG adaptor. Hey presto, it charges the phone through the otg connector.if you now connect a usb device to the other connector on the Y the phone wiill not see it. Likewise if you connect the usb device and the power THEN connect the cable to the phone it will see the device but will not charge. Both variations with the same bit of dumb cable and the same devices on the same connectors. Something in the usb / charging control software must be blocking both otg and charging from working concurrently.

[Q] Slimport & USB OTG dongle

Hi All,
Has anyone tested the new nexus 7 (2013) with a slim port and tried USB OTG at the same time?
I am very keen to find out if i can use a Nexus 7 as a portal Media machine to play back movies from a thumb drive on Hotel TVs when i travel without the need to move the file.
I understand I'd lose ability to charge the nexus 7 using USB OTG (OTG limitation) but I can live with that.
Thanks for any results
Tony.

AFAIK the Slimport cable needs to be directly plugged into the USB port so it can switch the Nexus 4 from standard microUSB to Slimport broadcast mode on negotiating with the hardware. If you attempted to run the Slimport adaptor through a hub or Y-cable it wouldn't work.
Thanks,
I was wondering if I could plug an OTG cable into the female on something like:

Yeah, the microUSB port on the Slimport is for power only, the data pins aren't even wired up.
Suppose I connect Nexus 7 to a monitor through SlimPort. This monitor has USB ports built in. If I connect a keyboard or mouse to this USB port, will it work with the tablet?

No - this wont work.
As stated above the data pins on the slimport are not connected so the USB can't be used for anything other than power.
ie. Tablet can't do anything else over usb when the slimport is in use.
Bluetooth keyboard + mouse could work for you though

Thanks. My intention was to use the tablet as a PC alternative for my parents. I have dropped the idea. Now I am thinking about getting one of those Android mini PCs instead (thread here).
The issue is the limited number of pins on the Micro USB port are multi-purpose.
A Micro USB port has 5 pins, one is power and another is ground, that leaves 3 for data. These 3 "flip" (for want of a better word) between USB mode and Slimport mode, So it can only do one or the other at any time.
So the lack of data pins on the slimport pass-through port (as stated above) is not the issue. They didn't bother wiring them up because they share a couple of pins in common and so wouldn't work anyway.
[Edit]
Just to clarify a slimport Micro USB connector has 5 pins. Samsung on the other hand are now using MHL 3.0 and they are pushing on with an 11 pin connectors that open up all sorts of options such as simultaneous data connections and even multiple displays! nice!

Use USB-C On the go (OTG) and power charging simultaneously?

Hello out there.
Has anybody figured out a way to using a USB-C On the go (OTG) adapter for OTG functionality, and get power charging working simultaneously?
I have seen some people have had success using USB Y cables with micro-USB OTG, but haven't read anything confirming this works or is even required using USB-C compatible phones such as the Nexus 5x. I saw some Startech Y cables are available for purchase and some dodgy homebrew setups which I wouldn't attempt personally!
I have a USB-C OTG connector and a mains powered USB 3.1 hub. With this setup I can charge or use USB devices successfully on the phone, but it's one or the other, not at the same time. I'm forced to choose the USB charging option on the phone to switch between the two.
Any thoughts or experience on this using a Nexus 5x or similar? Cheers!
And sort of related - new Macbook can drive an external display over USB-C. Can Android / Nexus 5x?
I have also been looking for this - to allow always-on wired ethernet. Have not found a solution. My Nexus 5X will last for several days when the ethernet adapter is externally powered by a hub, however. The trick is to make sure nothing is running except essential comms and email when on standby. The new Marshmallow Developer mode allows this, by selecting most apps to be 'inactive' during standby and only allowing one app to run at a time. My phone runs for weeks at a time in standby when there are no ethernet connected and no WiFi/4G. Connecting wired ethernet cuts that to about 7 days, depending on email notification activity.

I'm on the same boat, needing to have a Nexus 5X connected via Ethernet and powered.
So far I've tried:
- a USB Type C to USB female OTG cable
- a USB Type C to microUSB adaptor via a Dell powered USB OTG cable and a powered Acasis OTG USB Hub
but I got the same behaviour:
- USB OTG works with Ethernet and no power
- USB C to USB OTB HUB/powered OTG adaptor = power, but no OTG functionality
Is there a an updated USB C OTG pin out diagram available ?

Anyone know how many amps the Axon 7's USB C port can output? Might give some insight as to why some OTG devices aren't working.
Bumping this. I have a Ps4 controller that was working fine with my OPO via USB OTG. I tried it with the Axon 7 via the same USB OTG cable, but with the USB-C adapter that came with the Axon 7.
The Ps4 controller lights up, but doesn't actually work.
Would be very disappointed if power draw is limiting this aspect of the phone.

I haven't gotten any OTG devices working with the USB-C to MicroUSB adapter (ps4 controller, 2.5" portable HDD, USB memory sticks). Perhaps this adapter is only for charging and not for data/OTG? Or perhaps the MicroUSB OTG cable I'm using is just incompatible with the adapter.
I've now ordered and am awaiting proper USB-C OTG cables.

Do update us if that helps.
Seems like YMMV with USB-OTG. there's a video of someone getting thumb drives to read with USB-OTG on YouTube. There's also someone on Reddit who got a 360 controller to work OTG also. Dunno if the latter used the adapter, though.
I decided to check if it would read my Tab S2, and sure enough, it was able to read the media content.
OK, I ordered a Belkin USB-C to USB-A adapter. Still no luck. Seems like the adapter might not have been the issue after all. As before, the Ps4 controller will light up, but won't respond.
From what I've read online, this Belkin cable has passed proper USB-C certifications, too.
EDIT - I tried a wired Xbox 360 controller, it works.
Still it's a bit of an inconvenience. The cord for the 360 controller is way too long. I specifically bought the Ps4 controller because I had a GCM10 controller mount from Sony. It holds the Axon 7 perfectly.
Also tried an Xbox One. As a previous user said, the phone simply shuts off when trying this.

USB OTG works but the Axon 7 is lacking drivers. I got a USB thumb drive to mount but there's no Ethernet support.

Would a rooted app like Stickmount help?

If people still want to use a Ps4 controller, you can try the Sixaxis Controller app on the app store. It costs $2.99. it connects the Dualshock 4 via BT, but there's no noticeable latency. I've been using it the past few days. One other good thing about this is that you can also charge the phone while using this method.
