I have a regular usb otg cable which I have always used with my phone for things like my xbox one controller. However I have always thought that I wasn't going to be able to power my M8 while using the controller. I learned that a powered otg cable would only power the controller and not my phone. I was wondering, is there any sort of miracle otg cable that lets you power your device while using usb device? If not then is there maybe a custom kernel that I would be able to install that would be able to do this? Any help would be appreciated.
Does anybody have any ideas how I could pull this off???
I'm also scouring the internet for a solution. Can't believe they're aren't many more m8 owners not posting about this issue

hi all does anyone know if it's possible to connect a usb flash drive to a mini usb and if a ppc will read the drive when plugged in?
It's possible. I saw some software that allowed you to do that, but beware, it will drain your battery severely.
thanks kraize, i wasn't planning on using it too often unplugged anyway but didn't think a flash drive would use that much power. would be nice if i could connect up a laptop hdd to the mini usb but not sure if it would have the power to run it anyway or access it?
It won't work. I tried it on my kaiser, and it didn't work. The only phones that can do that are the HTC Advantage, and the XDA Flame. No other phones has that hardware capasity.
Thanks hollywould, i did suspect that would be the case and thought someone would've tried it. didn't think it would be able to access hdd but was hoping
hey guys looking for a OTG cable that will allow me to charge my phone while using my mouse or game controller?? cant find one or even know if its possible, sorry if wrong forum
There's no way to charge the phone while using USB OTG at this point. There are some possibilities that some of us are checking out. You can find an ongoing discussion at

I've been looking all over the net. I need a microUSB OTG cable that will charge at the same time. I've seen some half solutions. but nothing really doable.has anyone in XDA found a solution.
i would like this as i have mounted a tab3 in my cars dash and need a DAC to clean up the sound but can't use one while charging. Even if anyone else has any solution. I would be grateful,
thanks

I've searched and found various posts from a long time back that seem to imply it's possible but haven't been able to find anyone saying they've actually done it.
I want to be able to use an OTG cable with a usb y cable, to allow me to plug in a usb device and charger at the same time. Note I want to charge the phone itself, I am not trying to supply power to the usb device.
International HOX running CM11 latest monthly, in case it's relevant.
(I'm retiring my HOX and thinking about using it as a mini server - I want to plug in ethernet by USB adaptor to provide the network and charger to keep the phone running 24/7 )
I have a USB OTG cable that I can use to connect USB devices like flash drives, keyboard etc. and that works fine, but for some reason my phone won't charge whilst the OTG cable is plugged in.
Am I missing some really obvious way of getting this to work? Is it software based? I'm rooted and running Lineage OS if that makes any difference. I've tried several different OTG cables, I've tried connecting to different power supplies, different USB cables, different outlets, I've tried going into developer debug settings - nothing seems to get it to charge and data at the same time.
I am also interested in the topic. Trying to run Octoprint for Android and charge at the same time. I bought an OTG Y cable and the problem is that the phone is either charging or communicating with the 3d printer. Never both at the same time. I've researched quite a bit on google and it turns out at least on some devices the required effect can be achieved but I haven't been able to find anything about huawei devices. It is most probably a software limitation.
The same problem but i have Samsung J5 2017, i have rooted device so there is option to modify system files
Gosh! Would love to get this working. Any news?
