I bought a cable usb otg after i have rooted and installed a couple of apps. I can use the mouse on the mini pro, unfortunately, does not read any mass storage devices. But what I wanted to know is whether you can charge via a hub and using the mouse at the same time. In practice between cells and hub there will be a cable usbotg linked to an usb micro usb cable, in another port the mouse, and another one a usb cable male to male with the adapter included in the package.
very sorry for my bad Google Translate English =)

Has anyone made an OTG cable for the TFP? I don't like the chunky USB OTG connector and thought an OTG cable would be much better.
Not quite sure what you mean.
The only proper usb connector is a standard type A connector located on the keyboard, it has insufficient pins to implement OTG. The only other usb connectors are the propriety asus ones, one on the tablet and one on the keyboard, the other small connector on the tablet is HDMI output
I have the "chunky" USB OTG connector as well.. I don't think there's a cable though... I looked everywhere on the net
I don't have a dock therefore the only way I can plug a USB flash drive, Keyboard/mouse into the TFT is via the ASUS USB OTG Host adapter View attachment 1384503
I was after something a little slimmer and believe a OTG cable would be ideal - Refer to picture for an example of what I'm referring to View attachment 1384504
Micro USB OTG cables can be used with many phones and tablets sporting a micro USB connector. The TFP obviously doesn't have a micro USB connector therefore I was hoping someone knew how to make an ASUS 40 pin to female Type-A plug which replicates the ASUS USB OTG Host adapter.
Has anyone pulled apart the ASUS USB OTG host apapter? What's inside it?
Hey guys. There are several articles and videos around on how to make your own OTG cable. It essentially involves shorting a single pin. I have no idea if it'll work with a TFP, but I'm going to give it a shot today or tomorrow if I get some time. My plan is to use the normal TFP USB cable, but plug it into a female/female USB gender changer that has been modified to short the pin. I'm almost positive that it'll work on my SGS3, and I don't see why it wouldn't also work for my TFP. I'll report back.
Nevermind. I now see that the TFP USB end has five pins, so they won't match up with the 4-pin female USB port. Oh well...
TFP and OTG
Does anyone know if the OTG will support a USB hub?

The TFP doesn't have OTG, it's a regular USB host.
So yea, it will support a hub because it's a standard USB device class, with its driver already part of the kernel.

You are going to need a USB 1.x/2.0 Female Type A to Male Type Micro-B adapter cable.
The XTZ's USB port does not supply enough amperes to power most portable USB HHDs, so when selecting an HDD, make sure it requires very low amperes.
The WiFi mouse's Windows-based adapter will not work with the XTZ unless the mouse's manufacturer can provide Android drivers. You need to check with the manufacturer to see if they have any, but I highly doubt they have Android drivers. You will have better luck using a Bluetooth or USB mouse.
You can use a non-powered or powered USB hub to gain more USB ports. A powered USB hub would be a better choice because it would eliminate the problem of powering a USB HDD. Most powered USB hubs are powered by AC adapters, but you can find some that are battery powered.
There are several discussions in this forum about USB MHL to HDMI adapters. Search the forum to find out which adapters work with the XTZ.
You cannot charge a device using a charger through a USB hub. You will need a powered USB hub specifically designed for charging devices.
Right but the question is does the Xperia z tab can be charging the some time when is connect to tv via hdmi?

Try using a Micro USB Host OTG Y-Cable with Micro USB Power for Sony Phones & Tablets from Valarm, which they say has been tested with the XTZ SGP312.
I have a freeview TV adapter plugged into my note 3. Problem is I can't charge it so I have to stop watching TV and wait until its charged. Can I get anything like a micro USB hub. I've seen a few but they are only regular USB ports and not USB micro which I need for my devices. Thanks in advance.
I have MHL to HDMI adapter which hooks up to TV and to a phone charger (other side goes to phone) so it is possible, but I can't say if usb hub would work, since I have not test it.
You can connect a regular USB hub to your micro usb to usb OTG adapter. I tried connecting both a mouse and a keyboard to the hub and it works fine
USB hub won't allow you to charge the device while they are connected. you can either use MHL to HDMI cable as Pete4k advice and enjoy MHL 2.0 while charging or buy one of those USB OTG adapter reader but where you can connect several peripherals and charge at the same time.
can someone confirm that samsung galaxy s3 tab sm-T80N support usb otg, I can't find any info about usb otg , manual says usb-c port charging / accessories , I don't have usb -c to micro usb adapter to try it, I do have micro usb2 otg cable which work fine on samsung galaxy s5, I use otg for usb devices like usb flash drives, usb midi keyboards, usb audio cards for recording audio

which adapter do you use ucb-c to micro usb b or just plain usb-c to usb A, or usb c to usb A with otg support, or usb- c to usb micro b female with otg
thank you
I use this one:
iXCC USB Type C to USB 3.0 Type A Adapter, Charge and Sync Cable, On The Go (OTG Host Cable) for Type-C Supported Devices (6 Inch) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017TJN22C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_EEE6oG3Taotv8
is it possible to connect fysical keyboard with connector usb-c normal male / usb 3.0 female ? Read something about OTG, but don't understand it well. If I try, is there a chance I break the working of the tablet ?
OTG is working, and if a tablet or phone doesn't have OTG then you can't break it by plugging in an adaptor.
It's also USB 3.0, and can power an external hard-drive (not just any old hard-drive, a usb to sata adapter with laptop drive!)
