Hey guys,
I've been curious, if it's possible to use a slimport adapter and connect it to a display AND have something else connected via the additional charging USB Port.
Such as playing a movie right from a stick with the nexus 5 or a USB keyboard connected at the same time via USB Hub.
Or is there any other option to realise something like this?

This was the first thing I did when I got my adapter. The port is only for charging sadly...
If keyboard/mouse is all you need, you can always get a bluetooth one. If you need OTG for other stuff though, you'd have to use a wireless mirracast adapter instead of slimport.

Just wondering. You still need an OTG cable to connect camera/drive/other, right?

Yes, you can't get around physical wiring differences.
USB cable for xoom
Surely you can use the USB cable that came with the xoom and attach a female to female adpator and run your camera cable from that. You dont really need to buy a specific OTG cable. Well I think that would work.
Nope is doesn't you need a otg cable. I tried it myself a few months ago, ended up buying 3 cables to get that worked.

The wire that comes with your Xoom is wired differently than an OTG cable. The Xoom wire is a client wire. The OTG is a host.
But with 3.1 + an OTG cable, can you use the USB Host function without this hack :http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/15979-hack-enable-usb-host-mode-ie-thumb-drives-on-the-xoom/ ?
You just plug your OTG cable and it works ?
It seems there is still no way for a stock user to use a USB stick via the OTG cable because there is no app that recognizes it that way, Android still requires root to access the file system or both.

any body successed ?
Bad news, there is no way to enable OTG
Because NS uses usb switch chip FSA9280A, and this chip doesn't support OTG.

I made a mistake, there is a FSA9480 in the phone, so it support OTG in hardware.

I haven't had any luck getting this to work.
I tried hooking up a USB mouse, game pad (wired 360 controller) and a USB flash drive. However nothing happened when I plugged them in.
I connected them using a micro USB to USB adaptor and an externally powered USB hub.
Since the Galaxy Nexus appears to support OTG without issues, I'm guessing it's not working on the NS because of some sort hardware incompatibility.

first of all, are you sure your kernel configure support OTG ?
and then, the "micro USB to USB adaptor " is type-A(pin 4 connected with GND) ?
btw, the cup(S5PC110)'s datasheet shows it support OTG.
Ah, I did not realize there were different types of USB OTG adaptors. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
I did a bit of digging around and it seems that it's not too difficult to modify the adaptor from type B to type A, provided you have basic soldering ability (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092493). Perhaps I'll give that a go when I get some free time.
Has anyone else tried this feature on NS with any success?
This only applies to the Nexus S i9020.
i9023 seems to user another USB chip (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431151) for which are OTG kernels available:

I was having issues with the stick recognizing a usb ethernet adapter. After rooting, it now recognizes ethernet but only if I connect the adapter directly to the usb port which leaves me no place to plug in a receiver for a remote or keyboard/mouse. I have a USB hub and while the hub works for the remote dongle, ethernet is not recognized if I plug the USB/ethernet adapter into the hub. I'm hoping that the problem is the hub, it is quite old, predates USB 2.0 by a long ways. So I need a recommendation for a hub - any particular one I should use? Powered hub? New power plug for the android stick itself?
Thanks
You must to have powered hub (nice 1A).
I suggest that you can also partly solve the problem using the same configuration that I have: use a Logitech k400 wifi keyboard with integrated trackpad. I attach the wifi unified adapter via an OTG cable using the OTG port.
Frees up the USB port nicely
Thus keyboard also works perfectly with my laptop, nexus 7 and ps3!. It's 40 gbp on the amazon store.

I know the galaxy s4 does but on my nexus 5 it does not work...who else has tried it?
Only slimport works with the N5.

MHL cable doesn't work with the Nexus 5. You need a Slimport cable. When you plug in a Slimport cable, it works automatically (the display connected to the other end shows the same thing as the phone's screen), no app is needed.
The cables are not expensive, but get one which will power the phone also - HDMI display uses a lot of power, so this will prevent your battery from running down. I used the following cable from Newegg, Plugadget Micro USB HDMI Adapter SlimPort Micro USB 4K HDMI Audio Video Cable for Smartphone Tablets. It cost $14. However it took a long long time to get to me.
Im wondering what do I need to connect ps3 (unofficial) controller that connects with usb wire and requires power supply from it, and mhl cable with adapter connected to hdmi tv. So, I can normally connect my phone to hdmi with mhl adapter and cable, but I'll need something like mhl splitter to connect both usb otg cable(for controller) and mhl hdmi cable to phone. Is there something like that, or is only option to connect bluetooth supported controller via bluetooth and hdmi to phone regularly? Because I would prefer more wired option without bluetooth...
