USB adb and HDMI out - General Questions and Answers

I would like to use both adb via USB (not via IP) and HDMI out on my S22U without root but it does not seem possible and was wondering if there was a hardware (or other) solution to support splitting up HDMI and USB or at least making it seem like an HDMI out device is connected.
I tried multiple USB hubs that have HDMI out and USB, but it turns out that connecting Android to a PC via the hub will not work due to usb host/master/slave issues. I'll probably also try a USB over IP solution like VirtualHere but I don't have high hopes for that.

USB peripherals

So I bought a USB Female to microUSB male adapter for my phone and I was wondering what peripherals I can use with it.
I tried the XBOX 360 adapter that works with the tablets but it doesn't seem to work on my phone. Are there any that WILL work?
Just changing the "gender" of a USB device does not change it from being a slave device to being a bus host.
Unless you have a patch/ROM/hack that allows your device to work as a bus host (and I don't know of one for the Galaxy S4G), then you can't connect "peripherals" to your device, no matter how computer-like it seems to you.

[Q] USB Stick, External Hard Drive Not being detected by TCL Android (4.2) Smart TV

I've been searching for an answer for this issue, so far no luck
TCL 40 inch Android Smart TV(not Rooted)
2 - USB 2.0 ports
1-USB 3.0 ports
1 2.0 usb camera
I have a 500gb WD(NTFS Format) and a usb stick both are being detected and working as it should when I first got the TV.
Suddenly it is not being detected anymore
Although both lights(External and USB) are blinking and if you touch the hard drive you can feel its running
but when I check the media devices connected its just detecting the SD card.
I tried switching usb ports(including the 3.0) but still not being detected
I use the usb camera to all the usb ports and its being detected
Tried another type of otg cable not detected.
I tried just using the usb stick, still not detected
Tried Factory reset on the Android TV but no helo.
and both(WD and usb stick) are being detected in my laptop, using thesame otg cable.
ES FILE Manager sees the devices but when I open it nothing will show up.
Tried stickmount no go as well
I installed USB host controller
and connect all the usb devices and it sees it
when I go to info(usb host controller)
Im getting S3C USB Host driver NOT Found
Root hub present, USB host mode is Active.
Not sure what that is but I tried searching it no where to download it.
I was configuring Kodi TV on the smart tv before the issue happened
so I decided to uninstall it and did factory reset.
Appreciate the inputs.

Internet connection via USB OTG

To begin with, hello to you all on the forums!
I have a question and I would appreciate any suggestions on how to progress.
I have a Z1 Compact (D5503) that I would like connected to Internet via RJ-45 and a pretty much standard Wi-Fi router (with ethernet outs, of course).
What I decided to do was get an OTG cable, a USB ethernet adapter, and just plug it all in together: router -> RJ45 -> ethernet adapter -> OTG cable -> D5503. That didn't work. I thought maybe the adapter is lacking power, so I used a USB hub - that didn't work either (with 2 different hubs and 2 different OTG cables in all possible configurations). The phone seems not to be aware of the ethernet adapter at all (when trying with a hub, it's either only charging, or charging and informing about a PC connection, depending on what I plug the hub into - but the adapter seems not to be detected at all, or I'm unaware of where to look; no internet connection either; without a hub, nothing happens when I plug in).
I have seen on this forum, and some other places on the net, that such connection should be possible. What am I doing wrong? Am I missing some steps in the phone configuration?
I know I can just use Wi-Fi for that connection, and I will if there's no solution - I would much prefer a wired option, however.
Thanks in advance for all your help!

How to get non-storage USB peripherals to work?

I got an Anker OTG hub. It works completely if I connect it to my laptop, however, if I try connecting it to my phone, my USB mouse+keyboard combo (wireless with a receiver) doesn't work. It works with other devices, including my laptop's USB C port, and my old phone's USB C port.
I did turn OTG on prior to connecting anything (I'd love (root) to know to keep it on at all times).
I already ensured they work on other computers through that OTG adaptor, and that a USB storage stick works on this phone through it. In addition to that, HDMI works too (the adaptor also has an HDMI port), and the USB C passthrough passes power successfully, as well. No warp charging, but that is to be expected and that's alright.
I have TWRP and everything. Is there a kernel mod I need? I'd be happy to do whatever's needed.
Maybe OnePlus needs some updates
Even i have latency issus with my midi keyboard
But not with op5t

Debug app using ADB over usb on an Android-x86 laptop

I managed to set a nicely working Android-x86 on my laptop,
I was initially hoping to use adb with it just as I am doing with real phones, via USB. So I plugged in a dedicated USB male-to-male cable and... nothing happened. Turns out Android-x86 doesn't support connection via USB cable.
Is there an idea?
