I guys, today I tried to Wireless Charge while using the USB-OTG to copy some files (practically, it makes sense for me, since there is no need to connect the cable to the Nexus, we could be using that port to USB-OTG and charge at the same time).
I was surprised when it didn't work. I can't understand why would they implement this. Since it's not charging from cable, it could be charging by wireless...
It's not a defect from mine, right?
Anyway, thanks for your attention.

It's not a defect. You need a custom kernel that supports Qi Charging while using USB OTG if you want that.
Are you sure it's a kernel limitation? Do you know any that supports it?

May not be a hardware limitation. But probably a very low priority for implementation
One way I've try to offset this limitation is to plug my OTG cable into a powered USB hub. All attached USB devices use the hub for power greatly reducing the battery drain on the phone/tablet.

Hey,
I am out of town and I unfortunately forgot my charging cable back home, I have 10 more days here and I have very important work related stuff that I absolutely require. Anyway I can charge ? Or buying a cable remains the only option ?
Thanx in advance

As far as I'm aware you need a Samsung tablet cable or connector. I don't believe the Note 10.1 has any sort of wireless charging capabilities built-in, and even if it did you'd need a proper wireless charger.

The same cable charges the tab (7 & 10), tab2 7 and note 10.1. I've had all those and kept the same spare cables.

Are all 30-pin USB connectors created equally, or is an OTG cable different?
They are different. OTG has ground and sense shortened.
If your drive is powered from USB beware that this will not work. Drive must be externally powered.

hi every body
i will be very thankful if anybody can help me
today i get a usb OTG cable and i was very excited to try on my nexus s but i was very disappointed that even if i have a custom kernel that supports usb OTG i have to support externel power supply along with the cable which make all the process of > on the go < .. absolute not on the go ..
later when searching i found a video for nexus 4 i guess having usb with really on the go mode i.e. without 20 meters of cable extended along the room to the wall..
is there a way to make this work on the nexus s .?

Hi. I thought this phone was advertised as having USB on the go / USB Host features. Were they removed in Jelly Bean or were they never there?
I tried USB OTG cable with a flash drive and go another, as well as an externally powered hard drive. I tried a 5-pin MHL adapter (Rocketfish RF-G1171 from eBay) and had no luck. I haven't used an MHL device before bit tried many times. My TV can see MHL is connected so it seems the adapter is working. And there's an HDMI audio setting under ACCESSORY in the phone settings. I don't have another MHL adapter to test or another MHL device to test with.
Again, has this stuff worked before? Do I need new adapters? Do I need to downgrade?

That's lame it doesn't work on stock JB either.
Vaguely remember with stock ICS - though if I remember correctly MHL did work to some degree on stock ICS.
Some devices do have MHL &/or USB host working on CM10.1, just not us (yet )
MHL, USB Host & Wifi-Direct (screen share) are 3 killah features, all of which still need ironing out for the Relay.
However the devs at work on the Relay have acknowledged these as 'nice to have' features & will not come about any time soon unfortunately.

Oh sh!t. That's sick.
I've been on July 11th build for quite some time, because of its sheer stability and battery preservation.
Will test MHL when return this weekend. Else will favour for a latest nightly to trial the MHL capability you've mentioned.
So your getting crisp video and sound? No gimmicks?

It seems OK. Don't think sound code was altered after it was finally fixed. Not sure though. As for video I watch stuff on Google play and seems perfect, don't take very many videos with relay camera, so can't comment on that.

I'm not having much luck with either OTG or MHL. OTG appears to be registering properly in the kernel but userspace isn't doing anything. MHL appears to be registering incorrectly. I'm going to send my off brand cable back and get the official Samsung one.

from my experience, all mhl 1.0 adapters are the same (same silicon image chip)... so unless yours is defective it won't make a difference... tried to reboot the phone and just plug in the mhl adapter without plugging anything into the usb port before that?
edit: unless you bought the galaxy s3 compatible version that uses a 11 pin micro usb connector... our phone doesnt have that, it needs the 5 pin version (galaxy s2 compatible)
bump for this? Any progress nard?
Thanks for all your hard work!

Ok. Its just that unlike Samsung galaxy s3 (onwards) the nexus 5 cannot power mechanical drives through its USB host port. I expect you'd need a powered USB hub to power and use a mechanical drive.

Is your drive in NTSF format? Android only recognizes FAT32. Try a drive formatted as FAT32 and see what happens.
I am using my 1TB WD harddrive(ntfs).
It works fine with StickMount. I never needed external power source.
But it eats the battery extremely fast at almost 1%-2% per minute.
But the USB-Y cable should work fine for powering usb hard drive.
