So will a HUB like this work fine? Or does it need an external power source?
Also, if I connected 2 male USB into the HUB and one into a wall charger, will it charge the phone?
Definitely needs power because I tried an unpowered hub with flash drive and phone crashed.

Did it just crash or explode and caught a small fire?
Dunno I couldn't find the Black Box. But yeah it just crashed and rebooted after a few seconds.

No.
I had got one of these for my Galaxy R hoping the same as you do, but it didn't work. Some information digging later I realized that you need a (micro in this case) USB connecter that makes the phone act as a host.
This dual connecter can only be used to extend a cable or something similar.

If I know, Galaxy R dont support USB OTG. Did you try it on your SGS3?

bought one on ebay, but power doesn't work with my GN3 ... but work with an Galaxy S1 ... what is the problem ? anyone get one working ?
Maybe the problem is that since the note2/s3 Samsung changed a lot of stuff to an 11 pin connector as for the s1/s2 it's a 5 pin. As for a normal otg cable, it works for me at least (I have one w/o a charging cable)
