Has anyone able to achieve OTG host mode plus charging on same time for oneplus5t devices? What I mean is to connect external USB devices like pendrive or mouse and the phone is charging at same time. I am able achieve this on my Samsung Tab T515 and A50s devices using Kingston Nucleum C-HUBC1-SR-EN 7 Ports USB Hub (White). When I use it with oneplus5t it does not work. I think we need some modifications in either kernel or something else. Can anyone guide me to do this?

Hello out there.
Has anybody figured out a way to using a USB-C On the go (OTG) adapter for OTG functionality, and get power charging working simultaneously?
I have seen some people have had success using USB Y cables with micro-USB OTG, but haven't read anything confirming this works or is even required using USB-C compatible phones such as the Nexus 5x. I saw some Startech Y cables are available for purchase and some dodgy homebrew setups which I wouldn't attempt personally!
I have a USB-C OTG connector and a mains powered USB 3.1 hub. With this setup I can charge or use USB devices successfully on the phone, but it's one or the other, not at the same time. I'm forced to choose the USB charging option on the phone to switch between the two.
Any thoughts or experience on this using a Nexus 5x or similar? Cheers!
And sort of related - new Macbook can drive an external display over USB-C. Can Android / Nexus 5x?
I have also been looking for this - to allow always-on wired ethernet. Have not found a solution. My Nexus 5X will last for several days when the ethernet adapter is externally powered by a hub, however. The trick is to make sure nothing is running except essential comms and email when on standby. The new Marshmallow Developer mode allows this, by selecting most apps to be 'inactive' during standby and only allowing one app to run at a time. My phone runs for weeks at a time in standby when there are no ethernet connected and no WiFi/4G. Connecting wired ethernet cuts that to about 7 days, depending on email notification activity.

I'm on the same boat, needing to have a Nexus 5X connected via Ethernet and powered.
So far I've tried:
- a USB Type C to USB female OTG cable
- a USB Type C to microUSB adaptor via a Dell powered USB OTG cable and a powered Acasis OTG USB Hub
but I got the same behaviour:
- USB OTG works with Ethernet and no power
- USB C to USB OTB HUB/powered OTG adaptor = power, but no OTG functionality
Is there a an updated USB C OTG pin out diagram available ?
(Similar to this one ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2303902)
When I had my Nexus 5 I bought an OTG cable that had two inputs and claimed to allow charging of the Nexus 5 simultaneously with using an OTG device. It didn't work.
I want to use my Axon 7 with an external HDD for DLNA streaming of videos to my PS4, while also charging my Axon 7. Does anyone know of a split OTG cable that will work for this purpose? The external HDD does not have its own power source, and draws power from the phone. It works with an OTG cable I currently have (but does not have an additional input for charging the phone).
Thanks
I'm partially building off this existing thread, however I'm sure that what I'm doing is a bit more specific:

I'm planning an Android tablet in-dash car install, and wondering which one to use. Specifically, an ASUS Nexus 7 a Samsung Tab S 8.0/8.4 or a Samsung Tab A 7.0/10.0; the problem being whether the tablet can charge whilst being semi-permanently connected to a variety of USB devices as an OTG host.
The type of install is pretty common, and a few people have done this. I'm really not sure if they've surmounting the USB-OTG charging issue however. Anyway. The proposed setup is this:
3A 5V regulator for car ign. supply > USB OTG Y-cable
USB hub < USB OTG Y-cable > Tablet
USB hub > (USB DAC, SD card reader, Flash drive)
I'm aware of the issues with the Nexus 7's OTG charging problems which required the use of a specifically-written kernel, now somewhat old and obsolete. Has simultaneous OTG and charging become a common OS/hardware feature, or was it perhaps just an issue with the Nexus 7....? Am I missing a greater problem here? I'm cross-posting this with the forums related to the other tablets, so I'll try and keep up with feeding responses from both into the others so we're all on the same page.
Cheers!

Any luck with finding a solution? I'm doing the same in dash install but no luck of otg and charge together since timurs kernel isn't available anymore... I'm shocked to see this isn't a must have in most if not all kernels!
Depends on the tablet. Seems that for most this is a hardware-borne issue, whilst for others it is software. Specifically, the Nexus 7 2012 and 2013 can be modified at a kernel level to force fast charging even whilst in OTG mode. As far as I am aware, Samsung tablets force this at a hardware level so I don't think we have a way around this.
Hi,
I've been doing some research on using an OTG USB-c cable/hub/y-splitter for data and simultaneous charging capabilities for the 5t. After sifting through forums and Google, the issue is the 5t can't use OTG data transfer and charge itself at the same time; it can only do one or the other (confirmed with my own experiences). I read that the cause might be because of the stock kernel not allowing for this. Would anyone know of a custom kernel for the 5t that allows OTG Host mode and charging simultaneously?
My use case would be to use my 5t to hook up a USB DAC over OTG cable/hub/y-splitter and then use the other USB port to connect to a wall charger to keep my phone charged while using the DAC. It could also be used for other devices that connect over OTG without draining your phone battery for extended use.
- Thanks
Hi, talking about https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0...da3-4e84e7c49e87&pf_rd_r=MHRT4CYNH2P8AAHRC9FN
can i use a USB OTG device and charge the tablet simultaniously? I have an adapter therefore, but does the tablet support this?
Thanks
