Hello,
I have a Nexus 5 with Lineage OS 14.1 installed lying around. I want to connect an USB-HDMI Grabber for Livestreaming my GoPro footage while I'm outside. But I also want to charge my phone at the same time. Is there any Kernel, adapter or ROM you can recommend me, which supports charging the Nexus 5 while having a device connected via OTG?

Hi guys!
I am just curious how much devices could the nexus 5 handle through OTG.
I am thinking of connecting a slimport device to put the screen to monitor, and connecting a mouse and a keyboard.
Is the nexus 5 capable for that? Using an active usb hub (get it's power source from a wall adapter not from the phone) will charge the phone? Is it even possible to connect multiple devices to the phone through an USB hub?
Hello,
right now I am a more or less pleased Note 3 user. The past days made me thinking about a switch to the Nexus 5. More and more reasons come up, mainly I don't use the Note features that often and I hate TouchWiz. I got my hands on a Nexus 5 and all I can say is that this phone is beautiful and blazing fast. Despite the obvious (smaller screen, no pen, smaller battery, etc) I want to ask you if the following works as good on the Nexus as it does on my Note 3.
I like to connect my phone via MHL to the TV and play games using a Dualshock3 controller in combination with the SixAxis app. Playing Asphalt8 my phone losses about 40% battery in about 2,5 hours (It's connected to a 1 amp. USB port of the TV). Games like Asphalt 8 run very smooth.
I know the Nexus doesn't use MHL but Slimport. And the SixAxis app should work, root implied.
Here are my questions.
1. Does Slimport suffer from a bigger latency than MHL?
2. Is the phone also charging on a Slimport connection? If so, same amount?
3. Is it possible to charge the Nexus via Slimport (if answer was yes on question 2) AND wireless at the same time?
4. Does the Nexus 5 support USB OTG (to pair the controller)?
Many thanks for your time.

Thanks, this is the only questions that remains unanswered. Does anyone know?
It is possible to charge it while using Slimport, but that also can depend on which Slimport adapter do you have. I have some Chinese adapter with built-in USB cable, and it is working great...

Wireless charging will not work at the same time as wired charging. Also charging while playing games can lead to significant heat.
I would hold out if I were you. As mentioned, charging and game play are going to cause heat.
There are rumours of Amazon releasing a dedicated android console so perhaps, waiting is a good idea.
Na, these consoles suck. At least the ones that are already there. My Note 3 is way better than every existing console. And I think the Nexus will be to.
Im not talking about existing ones. but sure, if you want to stop playing every hour to recharge, go ahead

I have an odd issue whereby I cannot charge my phone with my wireless charger if data is being written to my usb otg , charging worked fine after I took out the usb otg. Any solutions? Thanks
Read somewhere on here before that someone else had the same problem with a mhl adapter. Don't think you can use anything in the port while charging wirelessly.
To my knowledge it can not be done. I know that with cyanogenmod and wired charging with a y otg cable work but not with stock rom.

Confirmed. I have a Meenova. When it's plugged into USB in usb-otg mode, my Qi charger won't work. Running Slimrom currently. Does it on both my Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 2013.
I'm considering using an old (2012 wifi) Nexus 7 as an Android Auto headend, and plugging my 6P into it via USB. I can use an OTG cable between the two, but I can't seem to find any info on powering both. Is this even possible?
I just tested and I am able to charge both my Nexus 6p and Nexus 7 using a USB OTG cable.
Hi at all,
who of you, guy has use otg cable for connect drive or pendrive on our phone?
I plug a pendrive using different otg cable that I have, but nothing happen.
I use OTG tester app and it say that OTG is enable, but nothingi happen.
So I've to understand if my phone is defective or there is some option to enable it.
I activeted CIT menù to test OTG but it fail.
IMO the issue depends for alimentation, because if I connect a drone (I'm modellist) nothing happen, while if I do the same on other phone the drone ligh on.
Any idea?
Just connected an old USB I had laying around with the USB OTG adapter I still had from my OnePlus One.
Stick was in fat32 I believe and I have an Android 11 ROM (Latest Nitrogen OS) on the Phone.
Anyway, no problems whatsoever. Was recognized immediately and gave me the Options to Explore/Eject, without any prior settings or anything.

thanks for test
my Android version is stock 10, with 2.04 MIUI stable.
I don't know if it depend from a bug or hardware issue.
The phone has 3 mounth live and I would't like to return it to Amazon for the change.
I was unlucky with Xiomi this time. I bought the RedMi note 9 pro and I change it for camera problems (dust in the lens). Now with this OTG issue....:crying:
