I recently purchased the USB OTG cable
http://www.ebay.in/itm/271089450380...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_3211wt_1141
I got it for around 2 usd, it works great, I can connect my usb pen drive, wired mouse and my microsoft Arch mouse.
Title says it all, has anyone tried this?
From what I've read (and the other threads on this topic) - no it can't be done.
It can't be done my friend
I got it to work

I used the following and plugged into my TV usb port and had ethernet (verfied with WIFI shut off) and it was charging.
USB 2.0 Ethernet adapter - <amazon.com/gp/product/B003VSTDFG>
OTG with power - <amazon.com/gp/product/B00C452XFO/>
Yup, this now works great for me too! :good:
I bought the Ethernet adapter Nvidia Recommends (same as browncoatdave's)

And just whatever Y cable could find that didn't look uber cheap.

1) 3 Port USB Hub
2) Plugable USB 2.0 to 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet LAN Wired Network Adapter
3) Micro USB Host OTG Cable with Micro USB Power
4) Smart Touch Mini USB TouchPad Keyboard
5) Full Size trackball mouse
6) Charging cord
I am charging the battery with ethernet, keyboard and mouse plugged in.
No Problem. But this is also after the kitkat update which added the charging while ethernet is plugged in.

Did you plug all the devices in a particular order? I noticed that if I plug in my charger AFTER I plug in the OTG cable into the shield, then it is not charging. But when I plug in the charger into the OTG cable and then plug it into shield, it is charging.
Is your hub powered? What exact model is it? I am asking because I have very similar setup to yours but the shield does not detect USB devices connected to the hub - it's this one: http: // esperanza . pl/esperanza-usb-2-0-hub-4-porty-ea116,182,437.html
I can connect one usb device directly to OTG cable and it works, but when I connect a hub, it no longer works.
There is a cheap way to do this if you have the soldering skills, and are willing to try it.
Get a cheap USB "Travel" hub.
Open it up, and replace the Upstream USB cable with an OTG cable (A scrap Micro-USB cable may or may not work. The connector must be Properly wired for OTG).
Remove the main power diode in the USB hub, and solder jumper the 2 pads where it was. A Multimeter in continuity mode can help you find the right component, but it takes some experience. There usually is not much in a cheap travel hub, so I can usually find them just by looking, but like I say, only try this if you have the experience, and you know what you are looking for.
Power the hub through it's 5V power jack (if it has one), or you can add a power only micro-USB socket. (Only connect the (+) and (-) power pins, do not connect the data lines. Connect it to any one of the Full size USB port's power pins. Observe polarity.)
Voila! You now have 4 Full size USB ports, it will charge your device, and provide power (Up to the rated power of the AC adapter) for your USB devices.
I did this years ago in the Nokia 770 days. It was one of the first consumer devices that supported USB OTG. Article still exists here:

Would this work?
Would this: SODIAL(R) Micro USB Host OTG Cable with Micro USB Power plus this: Anker® Unibody 3-Port USB 3.0 and Ethernet Hub
Give me the ability to charge tablet, use Ethernet and additionally connect USB mouse and keyboard, and possibly charge Nvidia Game Controller?
Or would it just be a waste of time and money
Anyone know if the USB OTG is capable of charging the Tab, connecting a hard drive AND connecting an Audio DAC at the same time?
No
Okay thanks. I know you can charge and have DAC at the same time.
I guess I'll have to look into really big MicroSD cards to hold my MP3's.
maybe....

I can't find my DAC to test right now, but I bought these items and they are working to provide my Tablet with a charge and USB OTG at the same time.
It's not a FAST charge. I've seen up to 687 mAh with testing over the last ten minutes.
But the mouse and USB stick I've plugged in all seem to work fine.
Tab S 8.4" T705 to Lava hub to Plugable hub. This should give me at least nine powered/usable USB ports while still providing a slow charge to the tablet.

Turns out it works just fine.
Tab S + USB-OTG Charger/HUB + 5 port USB Hub + 500GB 5400 RPM drive + USB DAC = Tab that charges and plays music from hard drive just fine. :good:
Review of the equipment:

Does using a Micro USB to USB C OTG Adapter like https://www.amazon.com/Tronsmart-Adapter-MacBook-ChromeBook-Compatibility/dp/B018S827GU work or conflict when using a USB A / Micro USB + MicroSD Card reader / OTG Adapter like https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-standard-Connector-Smartphones-Function/dp/B01BXSKPES ?
Meaning would an OTG adapter conflict with an OTG microSD reader?
Would I need to buy a non OTG micro USB to USB C adapter like https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GVBF8JY/ref=?ie=UTF8&m=ALTVS0Q5KJ7M3 instead?
I have bought an Ugreen all in one USB type-c adapter. Seems like this device doesn't support USB C to HDMI, VGA or Ethernet. Well the USB 3.0 ports are working only. Is there any way to be able to use those ports on these device. P.S I don't know whether USB Type-c 2.0 supports HDMI, VGA or Ethernet.
