How to switch on TV stick 4k without USB power?? - Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am always reading to use a usb OTG to navigate in TWRP but if I use an OTG adapter I can't use the usb port for powering the stick? How is this going to work?!

There is a splitter for that, search on Amazon
Amazon.com
Or you can also make it yourself just need some soldering skills and few components
If you want to use more than one device (like USB and keyboard and mouse) then you will need a usb hub also.

USB OTG + USB HUB to connect A Mouse and Keyboard same time

Greetings Guys, I bought an USB OTG Cable, which works great on mouse,keyboard and pen drive.
My only ambition is to get it working with a Mouse and Keyboard at the same time, so I can use my mobile as a portable netbook like for work while im outside of home.
I have at the moment an USB OTG Cable, and a low power mini mouse and portable keyboard also an USB Hub with two ports, which can use external power source.
The thing is my note can see each alone, cant see the HUB and the devices connected, even with the external power connected to the hub, what I can do to solve this? thanks
Install USB OTG helper app (needs root), you can try to get some debug info from there.
Check this: www_leicke_eu/en/products/DS40538. I found it while looking for a usb hub that will permit me to charge my note 10.1 when using otg cable with mouse. Just replace _ with dots.

Second USB device

I tried connecting a USB keyboard using an USB OTG cable, but I didn't get it to work. The other USB port is in use by my external harddrive.
Is there a possibility to make the keyboard work?
Can immagine more people want to add a second USB device to their OUYA...

You'll need to buy a USB HUB (Get a powered one to future proof all your USB needs, you can get a USB 2.0 Hub pretty cheap). This will allow you to hook up at least 3 USB's to the OUYA. The Micro USB won't work for things such as hard drives or HID devices.
In the future, please use the search function before posting as this has been talked about in many other posts.

I have a 4-port hub and it works fine connecting 1 storage and 3 other usb devices
I had this issue where only one harddrive could be used and If you have a harddrive with 2 partitions ouya wont mount it. Luckily I found an app called usbotghelper which does all the above I mentioned plus read and write and ext3 support. I wish it would get submitted to the ouya store so I could use the paid version that will mount on startup.

[q] lg3 + usb otg + usb ub

Hello guys, I was wondering if you could help me out
I already have the phone (durr ) and the USB OTG Cable but my doubt is the following:
Can I have the USB OTG connected to the phone and to a Hub at the same time?
[btw:Being one of the ports of the USB Hub a charger and the other ones random stuff (such as mouse, keyboard and so on)]

Pretty sure when in otg mode it will always be a power source and unable to charge but I could be wrong.

Plug in a USB mouse and start an app wich shows the mouse cursor, if it doesnt work then the OTG cable is not supported with the fire tv.
Good luck
Thanks!
But wouldn't stick's pointer follow physical mouse?
And which app shows mouse cursor?
Thanks!!!
