Hello,
So I tried to hook up a Motorola Atrix 2 to a PNY USB Hub and it won't work, but the light showed up on it .
Here are all the stuff I used to make a full setup:
Female to Female USB
Y-Cable
Micro-USB Cable
USB Hub
Wall charger
I tried both ends of the Males and both not working
Any help would be highly appriciated
Thanks in advanced,

Pics would be helpful. I assume you want to utilise USB OTG which requires a USB OTG cable, and an external VDD of +5V as the phone does not supply power via USB.

Has anyone had any luck with 3.1 and USB. I have a USB female to female, 3.0 did not give me any success with any of my USB memory devices/ camera. I have now tried with 3.1,and see no change. Should we now be seeing some success?
There is no power in the cable so female to female will work only with devices that have their own power. You need to wait for an adapter (or buy the dock).

Yeah i tried with a powered hub. Some people had reported success with 3.0 with USB devices such as memory sticks, so how is that working?
can i use a female to female usb adaptor to connect a usb memory stick to the cable that comes supplied?

Hello,
I think I found a cheaper alternative to Lapdock, but IDK if and how this can work or not.
I found something with external power here and I'm wondering if we can attach a mouse/keyboard with it.

It should work as long as you have an OTG adapter or cable that shorts pins 4 (the ID pin) and 5 (ground) that would then connect to the powered hub. These can be bought pretty cheap or just make one with a spare cable. The phone needs to know it is in USB host mode (shorted ID to ground) and there needs to be external power for the peripheral devices.
I just recently bought this , this, and this. The hub has two usb's: one for the phone, which has the otg cable, and the other for power (which I connected with the extension cable). You can then use your regular usb wall charger. Everything works great (attach any usb device you like) and when you attach a micro HDMI to regular HDMI cable to a TV/Monitor, you got yourself a computer like setup. I haven't tried it, but I think you can even attach external storage to it as well.

Actually, I used it on stock 2.3.6. As far as I know, that's more or less all that the the laptop docks are (with some added signal to know to use webtop when connected).
Mods, Wrong section? Please move it, Thank you for all the cleaning up and hard work, TCF38012
Hello,
I found an accessory set (3 items) that can let you use a keyboard and/or mouse with your Atrix 2. I havn't tested this yet but I'm pretty sure this works
Items required:
OTG USB Cable
USB Male to Male Cable
AC Powered USB Hub
Once you bought them and recieved them, you can connect the OTG to the phone and the Hub to the male-to-male and the male-to-male to the Hub and the whatever to the Hub and the Hub to the wall and you should have it working
If not, Then just post here/PM me and I'll help (If you willing to take a chance to purchase more accessories )
Cheers and good luck!!!

Unfortunately, this product actually does not allow the OP's device to simultaneously charge and act as the USB host device. The DECEC product has a switch for toggling between its two functions:
1. OTG Host Mode:Allows the OP's device to connect to USB peripheral (slave) devices and power them. This mode will also charge peripheral devices.2. Data Cable (Charge) Mode:Allows the OP's device to charge via an external power supply or via another USB host device (i.e., laptop).
Read the Q&A for this device on Amazon (go to Amazon and search for "Micro USB Male To USB Female Host OTG Cable + USB Power Cable Y Splitter"). The Q&A indicates that users have been able to use it for simultaneously charging a Nexus 7 and having the Nexus 7 act as a USB host device. One user mentioned that a custom kernel is needed to unlock this capability of the Nexus 7. They also recommended that a powered USB hub be used to ensure that the USB peripheral devices don't draw more power than the Nexus 7 can supply.
Current Limited to 1A

This adapter LIMITS THE CURRENT TO 1000mA as opposed to 1800mA using the 2.1A Samsung charger for TAB S 10.5. Presumably this would be the same for the Note 5 which comes with the higher capacity charger as well..
