USB OTG Desire S

I'd like to play around with USB OTG on my Desire S with 4.0.4 AOKP 35-120511 / 2.6.35.14 Cyanogenmod+ but could flash any ROM. I bought an OTG cable for Galaxy S2 which now I realize probably won't work with DS - Initially it said that the car kit was connected. Now it does nothing! StickMount shows up nothing. Do I just need to attach a powered USB hub?
Anybody else out there have any experience with DS and USB OTG?
Hope you can help me, I did search the forum first and only found a few posts and no real answers.

What worked for me was to use a powered hub and a y cable to connect your device to the Desire, whilst drawing power from the hub. You need to hunt out the correct cable depending on what you want to attach either full size or mini usb.

[Q] output to tv and monitor

I'm soon to be new to the nexus line.
How do you nexus users like to connect to:
1. A TV
2. A monitor
I have visions of building a dock station equipped with ext hard drive, keyboard, mouse and monitor. Most of which just needs the otg cable and an externally powered USB hub (and maybe some resistor games to force which charging mode the phone enables, some research to be done here too). But I haven't figured out the video output portion yet.

Well the 2013 Nexus 7 had MHL support so we can hope the nexus 5 will be the same but if it has MHL support you should only have to buy a usb to HDMI adapter and it should all work fine

According to the leaked service manual, the Nexus 5 will use Slimport, the same as the Nexus 4:

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

It will support Slimport for wired output and Miracast for wireless.

Does it use USB 3.0?

I just need some clarification here, I saw someone on YouTube mention that the n5 uses USB 3.0 for faster file transfers, so is it true?

Also keep in mind there's no real benefit to USB 3.0 right now. There aren't any phones out there with internal storage fast enough to actually make USB 3.0 worth it.

[Q] Tablet in my car: which devices??

Hello all! I have a project on my mind, but i need some help to choose the right devices to build it.
As far as my multimedia car device is almost broken and i cannot replace it (only with a same one but it is old and un-upgradeable) i would like to install a tablet (which have all the things i need, such audio player, GPS, all upgradeable!!!) but i think is quite difficult, because i have some needs that i don't know if are possible to do.

For Tablet i think to buy a Galaxy tab 4.
My questions are:
1. Which USB HUB i should buy? There is a device like the one i would?
2. Which Audio USB cards are compatibile?
3. There is a way to get charging device while usb audio and external usb hdd are working?
Thanks

Motorola Edge 30 NEO ReadyFor USB-C to HDMI

Dear community,
I'm interested in buying USB-C- to HDMI, but wondering if I best can buy the official Motorola ReadyFor USB-C to HDMI or an alternative branche.
As one of the disadvantages is, that you can't charge at the same time when the ReadyFor USB-C to HDMI adapter is plugged in.
I found for instance DINTO USB-C HUB 3x USB to and 4K HDMI adapter, but is that one compatible and with this one I can actually charge and use the USB-C to HMDI at the same time?
It might look to good to be truth? What do you think? I already asked the seller, but they just say, try it, you can always send it back, but I want to avoid that.
